Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 247 Mistake
—That Xu Xin?
Zhou You lowered his head indifferently and saw only a figure less than 1.6 meters tall, laughing merrily.

Then, he put the hilt of the sword, which he had quietly taken out of the ring, back into the ring.

Xu Xin is about 1.7 meters tall. Even with the legendary collarbone technique, she couldn't shrink to this size in such a short time. Moreover, her blood and qi are restless, and it seems that her body has been hollowed out by all kinds of wine, women, wealth and power. There is only something wet and slippery throbbing inside her body, as if she can't wait to be born.

This should only be the lowest level of believer, not even comparable to those thugs.

So Zhou You simply moved aside, trying to make way for the woman.

However, for some reason, he, who had never been in a relationship, suddenly found himself in a period of intense romantic activity. Even though he had clearly expressed his rejection, the woman still deliberately clung to him.

Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he had to admit that the woman had a really good figure, with curves in all the right places. He could only feel two soft mounds pressed against his body—

However, at this moment, all Zhou You could feel was a deep sense of nausea.

This doesn't mean he has any psychological or mental problems—to clarify, his sexual orientation is as normal as any single young man who has been single for over 20 years could be—but rather...
—This woman is absolutely disgusting.

It wasn't the usual kind of stench, but a foul odor that seeped in from the inside out, from the very core of one's being, all the way to the very marrow, a stench that even the most expensive perfumes couldn't mask.

However, the woman seemed oblivious to the blatant disgust she was showing. As she looked at Zhou You's muscular physique, her eyes behind the mask grew even brighter, and she even reached out to touch the muscles in his abdomen.

Then, a few taunts arose from the surroundings.

"Hey Serval, you're really indiscriminate in your pursuit of anyone! The banquet hasn't even started yet, and you're already eager to make your move on the newcomer. Are you planning to invite her to your place for some fun afterward?"

The woman turned her head and spat, half out of embarrassment and anger, and half out of theatrics.

"Pah, what do you take me for? I'm not that thirsty. Besides, today is a crucial moment with the leader's personal approval. Everyone's eager to show off, so who would dare to cause trouble? And besides, if we perform well, we might even gain the leader's personal favor and get a position next to him."

The more he said that, the more the teasing and joking around him intensified.

"You mean you intend to replace Xu Shengnu's position?"

However, as soon as he said those words, the man realized something was wrong and quickly shut his mouth.

However, the woman had already heard it clearly.

Even through the mask, Zhou You could sense that the woman's expression darkened instantly.

She glared around fiercely, then muttered a curse under her breath.

If you listen carefully, it's just a few words repeated over and over.

'Bitch,' 'old hag,' 'whore who sleeps with everyone.'
However, the sounds were extremely faint, and only Zhou You, who had enhanced his five senses, could hear them clearly. As for the others, they could only hear a faint muttering—as if they were afraid that someone would hear them.

However, just as the situation was becoming increasingly awkward, the elevator, which moved as slowly as it had come, finally arrived at its destination.

The others, relieved, left. The woman glanced back one last time, then followed—but before leaving, she slipped a business card into Zhou You's chest. "Little brother, if you're interested later, you can find me at this address—and since it's your first time here, don't be shy, the cult leader's things will absolutely make you feel like you're in paradise."

After saying that, the woman blew Zhou You a kiss and walked out swaying seductively.

Zhou You glanced at the card with the address written on it, shook his head expressionlessly, and then flicked it casually as he left, sending the card landing precisely in a trash can.

The underground meeting place is much larger than the one above ground.

Moreover, unlike the deliberately depicted pure white scene on the ground, the underground area is predominantly pale purple, interspersed with ambiguous deep reds, and the lighting is equally dim and hazy, seemingly designed to create a psychedelic atmosphere.

These people seemed to be the last group; the elevator lights went out and never came back on.

Looking around, there were probably seventy or eighty people, all wearing strange pure white masks. However, judging from their clothing and decorations, they were all rich and noble. Most of them were gathered in groups of three or five, chatting with each other, while a few were holding wine glasses and taking food from the long table.

Zhou You naturally couldn't possibly know anyone in this place, and he couldn't possibly go out and strike up a conversation with someone and give himself away, so he could only follow others' example by picking up a glass of wine and then circling around the table.

I must say, it truly lives up to its reputation as a high-end gathering venue. Even the buffet was more abundant than I could have imagined – grouper, yellow croaker, blue lobster, white truffles, and steaks that looked incredibly expensive. Abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and bird's nest were treated as cold dishes – not to mention the miscellaneous items that I didn't even recognize.

Most importantly, next to each dish was an extremely luxurious container filled with a pile of coarse white particles, so shabby that they were completely out of place with the surrounding food.

But Zhou You did recognize this thing.

—Ascension Powder.

In an instant, all appetite vanished.

Zhou You rolled his eyes and glanced around, only to discover another peculiar situation.

Most of the people at the table barely touched the food; they mostly just drank some alcohol or took some herbal remedies, then trembled and became completely absorbed in the experience.

Is it because you're not hungry, or because you don't like it, or...?
--wrong.

Judging from their expressions, they seem to be expecting something.
However, just as Zhou You was somewhat confused, the lights in the room suddenly changed and then slowly focused on one point.

Then, under the lights, the curtain at the end of the assembly hall was suddenly drawn back, and a woman wearing a light gauze dress and a mask walked out. With elegant and graceful steps, she slowly walked to the front of the stage as the lights moved.

Then, she gently tapped the microphone, and a soft yet incredibly alluring voice rang out.

"Greetings everyone. On behalf of the Sect Leader, I welcome you all. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to be here. You probably already know my name, so let's get down to business—I hereby announce the twenty-first..."

Zhou You didn't listen to the rest of what was said; he just looked at that graceful and elegant figure and sighed softly.

Tsk, looks like I chose the wrong place this time?
