Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 250 Standoff
Zhou You remained remarkably calm in the face of those ominous red eyes.

Originally, he planned to sneak out by himself. Even though he had just seen some living people, he only intended to find an opening and forcefully break out with the victim.

But just now, he suddenly remembered something.

—Am I following the script too closely?
Looking up, there are no surveillance cameras here to maintain secrecy.

Looking to the side, there was no one who recognized me.

Think again about the old man's hints before he left.

"If there's really no other way, you can do whatever you want. I have connections that can cover for you."

So...
Zhou You suddenly sighed softly.

Why don't we just take action directly?
However, in just a few seconds, the look in those people's eyes changed from bewilderment and fear to doubt.

Even said.

Perhaps Zhou You's ever-smiling face was too misleading, or perhaps his brain, still buzzing from the previous drink, hadn't quite caught up with the situation—or perhaps he'd been bossing people around for too long, and yet someone actually dared to criticize him.

"Who are you, and what do you want?!"

Is this guy an idiot?

Zhou You glanced at him and saw a fat man with a large belly.

I vaguely remember that during the boasting just now, this person was the one who framed Han Ruiming. The old man's dismissal and subsequent downfall are probably 80% related to him.

Zhou You pondered for a few seconds, then made a difficult decision.

Never mind, I'll take care of it for you while I'm at it. No need to thank me.

Faced with such an idiot, he was too lazy to say anything nonsense. Duan Xie emerged from the void, and without even using a blade, his baleful aura simply swirled gently, and from a distance of seven or eight steps, he easily sliced ​​open the fat neck.

Blood gushed from the major artery, and the person clutched their throat forcefully. With air rushing into their chest and a 'heh heh' sound, they collapsed before they could struggle for long.

Duan Xie trembled slightly and gave an answer.

They disregarded human life, were utterly wicked, and deserved to die.

To this, someone simply scoffed.

—You don't need to remind me of that. I just saw these guys eating, and this fat guy was the one eating the most happily.

Only then did the group realize what had happened.

After all, everything had happened too fast, and many people even suspected that Xu Xin was behind the death of the old man surnamed Qian. However, after seeing another person die, panic suddenly broke out.

This is basically the same principle in the world: people at the bottom have nothing to worry about, so when they encounter a crisis, they have the courage to take a gamble. However, those who are used to a life of ease and comfort value their own lives more than anything else.

—But thinking about it, it makes sense. If they weren't after longevity and eternal youth, would they have bothered to frame others, traffic people, or even eat corpses like vultures for this 'elixir'?
At the sound of a scream, none of the dozens of people resisted; they all rushed toward the elevator in a frenzy—unfortunately, the elevator had already been shut down, and the people could only frantically pound on the doors and walls.

Wait, the wall?
"Hey, I said, that glass door isn't very sturdy, you'd better..."

Before he could finish speaking, the thing that had already been corrupted by the evil energy exploded with a bang, and the person fell right down the crack.

A scream rang out.

Then—smack!

Well, this can be considered as me committing fewer acts of killing and accumulating more merit.

The fall of this person intensified the panic among the others, and those who still had some sense turned around and shouted sharply at Xu Xin.

"What are you all standing there for? This is a perfectly good gathering, and you've let an outsider in! What are you all doing? Open the elevator doors right now!"

just.

No matter how much those people roared, Xu Xin didn't move an inch. She just cautiously looked at Zhou You, who had suddenly appeared, carefully observed him for a while, and then slowly spoke.

“I know you. You are the one who killed three Venerables and broke my spell.” Zhou You didn’t rush to make a move, but smiled.

"Indeed, we're already acquaintances. So, what do you suggest we do next? Go through the proper procedures, or..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Xin suddenly raised her voice and abruptly interrupted him.

"As expected! Just as the master said, you would definitely come to cause trouble during the high priest's ceremony! Everything is just as he predicted. He really is the chosen one, guided by the gods!"

Zhou You was somewhat baffled.

"High Priest? What's that? I just knew you guys were having a silver party, so I was wondering if I could join in."

However, at that moment, Xu Xin, who had been as calm as still water, suddenly revealed a maniacal smile.

"But that's fine too, after all, I've never let go of those who have hurt me, including my mother and that director, he's the only exception."

Why doesn't this person listen to reason?
Zhou You looked at Xu Xin, who had started talking to herself, scratched his head, and then could only pick up his sword, intending to resolve everything in the simplest way.

—That means forget everything else and just cut it down first.

Seeing his murderous intent, Xu Xin suddenly pressed her hand to one side of her face, scratched a long wound with her fingernail, and then shouted loudly.

"—But you've come, do you really think I wasn't prepared?—Yes, you are powerful, but I can't possibly defeat you. In the end, you're just a human being. In this degenerate age, how could you possibly stand against a true god!"

Just as Xu Xin finished speaking, one of the people prying open the elevator door suddenly screamed, as if he were enduring some extreme pain. He frantically scratched at his mask, and his whole body swelled up like a balloon.

It exploded with a bang.

Amidst the flying blood and flesh, a slimy, soft-bodied creature emerged. It was hairless and looked like a snail without its shell, except for the human face and mask on its head, which displayed a distorted smile.

It looks terrifying, but...
Zhou You turned his head and asked sincerely and earnestly.

"I'm saying, you call this thing a god?"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment.

"Of course not. These are merely the offspring of that female immortal, whom we mixed into the Ascension Powder and fed to this group of idiots. We call her the Venerable Lord. What you encountered in the house before were just infants, while these people, after being carefully nurtured by me for many years, are now fully mature."

Before Zhou You could even reply, upon hearing these words, one of the men who had been splattered with blood cursed in despair.

"Xu Xin, you bitch, do you know what you're doing? You dare use us as guinea pigs! This is the city's elite, if we die, you'll die too!"

"Don't worry, I already told Mr. Qian that not a single word of this will get out. I've already prepared an excuse for your deaths—in fact, I've been preparing an excuse to kill you ever since the day you started grotesquely groping me."

"Moreover, your deaths will become an opportunity for the cult to grow and expand even further."

Speaking softly and casually, Xu Xin snapped her fingers again, and the next second, the person who had spoken exploded once more.

The screams from the crowd grew even louder.

They had been trying to escape by elevator, but now they were running around like headless flies. However, most of them hadn't gone more than a few steps before their bodies exploded.

Amidst the rain of blood, Xu Xin was still smiling as she spoke to Zhou You.

"I admit that your abilities are strong, far beyond what I can handle—but unfortunately, surrounded by these divine offspring, how many can you possibly defeat?"

Zhou You seemed to be terrified. He stared at the dozens of terrifying soft-bodied monsters wriggling towards him, without even raising his sword. After a long while, he slowly uttered a sentence.

However, it was not the begging for mercy that Xu Xin had expected.

Instead, it was a sigh filled with disappointment.

"To be honest, I spent so much time and effort, climbing mountains, infiltrating, and even having to put up with the stench and pretend to be friendly with those guys. I could probably make a seven or eight-episode TV series out of it, but in the end..."

"—That's it?"
