Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 335 Inside the Body
Upon entering this place, the first thing you notice is its stickiness.

It felt as if you were stepping on glue; every step required immense effort. The transparent liquid covered your front and back, and although it was colorless and odorless, it somehow gave you a creepy feeling.

But that's not all that's terrifying.

Looking around, all that could be seen was a network of blood and flesh, interspersed with bright yellow fat, which pulsated with the contraction of muscles, just like that.
Human organs are generally like this.

This was the scene that Zhou You and his companion saw as soon as they entered.

"I feel like a parasite that has mistakenly entered the human body. That bunch of anthropomorphic creatures are like the immune system fighting against us. I don't know why they didn't follow us in."

But halfway through his sentence, he suddenly frowned.

—The murmurs from the Netherworld City have returned!
The voice lingered in my ears like a whisper, slowly seeping into my brain like a tapeworm, driving me almost insane.

The words seemed to be praising something, but upon closer listening, one could only hear a kind of extremely tragic wailing and pleading.

Although the system no longer displays things like sanity values, Zhou You understands that this thing is probably plummeting like a green-listed A-share!

Tao Le'an, standing next to him, was also in very bad shape. He was clutching his head tightly, veins bulging on his face, as if he were enduring some immense pain.

"I heard them. They're right here."

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou You quickly slapped the other person to stop their madness.

Tao Le'an took a while to catch his breath before he recovered, but he didn't revert to his previous state. Instead, he grabbed Zhou You's sleeve tightly and said urgently.

"Master, they're right here!"

"What are you doing here? What do you mean?"

Seeing Zhou You's bewildered expression, Tao Le'an realized his loss of composure. He quickly withdrew his hand, cast a calming talisman on himself, and barely managed to maintain his composure before speaking.

"I remember you once told me, Daoist Master, that when you first entered Songzhou, you encountered a zombie that could use talismans, right?"

"Yes, that's right, that guy is a member of your Evil Suppression Division."

"But I also told you, Daoist Master, that our Evil Suppression Division was almost completely wiped out because we fell into the Hidden King's ambush, right?"

"Yes, but what does that have to do with your outburst just now?"

Tao Le'an slowly raised his head.

His gaze was fixed on the writhing flesh, as if he could see through it and perceive something beyond it.

“We, the Zhenxie Division, are all sentient beings. I can sense that they are here. No, it should be said that the entire Cangzhou, because of the Houtu Sect and the deceased ancestors, are all here.”

After saying that, he seemed to sense something, and pulled Zhou You along to the other side of the flesh and blood passage.

Zhou You did not refuse.

Unlike him, Tao Le'an was, after all, the guardian of the secrets of these ancestors. Although the birth of this stillborn infant was indeed unexpected, there were still various causes and effects involved.

Rather than blindly following someone like a headless fly, it's better to go with him.

Like this, I don’t know how long it took.

The slime under their feet accumulated more and more, even soaking into their boots. And for some reason, none of the anthropomorphic creatures that covered the mountains outside had entered this place. Only the 'splatter' sound of the two of them stepping on the slime kept echoing.

The road became increasingly winding and secluded until it finally came to a sudden, open view at the end.

The first thing you see is a flowing river.

The river was entirely fed by this viscous substance at the feet, stretching as far as the eye could see. Countless things floated on its surface, and upon closer inspection, one could discover that they were all extremely handsome corpses.

Or perhaps it could be said that the ancestors had already been transformed.

"."

Looking at the seemingly endless flow of water downstream, Zhou You was speechless for a moment.

If all these things were to leave, damn it, not only Songzhou, but the entire Han territory would probably be swallowed up by them!

Tao Le'an's breathing grew heavier and heavier, and he suddenly spoke.

"Taoist Master, looking at this scene, does it remind you of anything?"

"Lenovo? What are you talking about? My imagination isn't that good."

The conversation suddenly stopped.

Recalling the winding road and the sights he had seen, a term suddenly popped into Zhou You's mind.

"Intestines".

—Yes, that's it.

The winding road, the greasy fat, and the way it moved all gave one a feeling of intestinal discomfort, no matter where you looked.

However, this led Zhou You to think of something extremely absurd.

"So, these anthropomorphic creatures are all excreted through their rear ends?"

Tao Le'an shook his head.

"No, this behavior is more like childbirth."

"Okay, I don't know much about this stuff either. So, where should we go?"

What is the most important part of a person's body?

"The heart, or the brain. But this thing is similar to a zombie, so the heart is probably not the vital organ. The only key point is probably the brain."

After saying this, the two looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, although they could not summon a mount to travel on, the two were both fast runners and galloped directly upstream towards the river.

Before long, the scenery changed again.

At the end of the river was a vast cave that looked like a stomach, with boiling acid accumulating at the bottom. Countless oval objects fell from above like rain, and as they fell into it, they struggled painfully and were gradually shaped into that near-perfect form.

Above that is the lungs; there are countless interconnected tubes, and countless layers of skin are blown open and filled with a fluid that is a mixture of blood, flesh, and bones, like one newborn pupa after another.

Following the lungs is the larynx—but now it seems to also function as a mouth, with its smooth walls covered in rough, sharp teeth, grinding everything that falls in from above indiscriminately, like a meat grinder.
Zhou You has finally figured it out.

Although the Northern Saint of Absolute Yin and Salvation appears to be a god, it is actually a production factory. Human flesh, bones, and souls are crushed, shredded, and finally reshaped into humanoid forms when they enter it.

In other words, the more people die, the stronger this thing becomes.

Otherwise.

How long has that rain of blood been falling until now?
What kind of hell has Songzhou outside become?
A sense of crisis, like a persistent ailment, spurred Zhou You and his companion to quicken their pace once more—after climbing over another obstacle that resembled a mountain peak, they finally arrived at their destination: the brain of a stillborn infant.

Or rather, it is another completely different space.

Looking around, the writhing flesh and blood were gone, replaced by a vast desert, and in the sky, there were countless stars.

Even more so, starlight continued to fall like rain.

Zhou You never imagined that he could see such a starry sky inside this divine body.

It still makes people feel disgusted.

The starry sky was indeed extremely brilliant, but it did not give people a sense of grandeur and vastness. On the contrary, if you stared at it for a little too long, it would give you an extremely nauseating feeling. If you had to describe it, it would be as if everything in your body, whether it was your internal organs, spine, or brain, wanted to rush out and fly towards that sea of ​​stars like a madman.

At this time, a voice sounded.

It didn't come from my ears, but directly into my mind.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Looking up, I saw a tall, thin figure standing not far away.

Zhou You had seen this thing before.

That was in Changsheng Temple, when I first glimpsed the ancestors through that statue, that fellow who was the leader of the ancestors.

It still had that withered body, and those incredibly long limbs. Unlike those who had completely reincarnated into humans, this guy was the only one who maintained his original appearance.

only.

It is obvious that it is nearing its end.

His limbs were withered like dead wood, and his body was covered in sores. It seemed that even if he were left unattended, he might die at any moment.

However, the voice remained calm.

"This is a scene from my hometown that I haven't seen for many years. I never imagined that I would see it again before I die in this faraway world. I am truly incredibly lucky."

Zhou You ignored it and instead looked behind it.

The fleshy pillar I saw in the Hidden King's palace was still standing there. Unlike before, now there were only three faces on it.

One was the Hidden King, wailing silently, tears streaming down his face. His youthful face was twisted to an unbelievable degree, his eyes filled with nothing but a desire to die.

One photo shows Xie Anming, his pupils glazed over with infatuation, his gaze fixed on the ancient leader, who appears as a candle flickering in the wind. It's as if he's looking at a lover he's admired for years, or as if he sees nothing at all.

The last face
Zhou You did not know him.

It was a woman's face, about thirty years old. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she certainly wasn't ugly either. Her eyes were closed, as if she were asleep, but a kind of loving smile still lingered at the corners of her mouth.

However, Zhou You's silence did not mean that the early leader would not continue.

That sentimental tone rang out again, this time in a delicate female voice.

"Our hometown is far more barren than this world. Although the starry sky is so beautiful, the resources available for survival are very scarce. During the day, the sun hangs high in the sky like a furnace, indiscriminately scorching everything. At night, the weather suddenly turns bitterly cold, and the wind blows like knives. If you are not careful, you will be frozen into an ice sculpture."

Zhou You didn't want to listen to its nonsense, but as he drew his sword, he suddenly turned his head to the side.

As the conversation continued, it seemed as if something was peering over—but then vanished in an instant, leaving one wondering if it was just an illusion.

However, in that brief moment, the voice of the early leader continued.

"The extremely harsh environment made us naturally attuned to the stars and gave us knowledge far beyond our current understanding. However, our population also dwindled under this devastation. Just when we were about to perish, that great one appeared."

The gaze began again, this time even more aggressive. Zhou You tried to grip Duanxie tightly once more, but he was suddenly astonished to find that he was frozen solid and unable to move an inch.

I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye and saw that Tao Le'an was doing the same thing—but upon closer inspection, I could see that he was bending his index finger, which he could only move, and drawing a talisman in the air, as if he was about to do something.

Seeing that Zhou You still hadn't replied, the leader continued speaking calmly.

"This land may not mean much to you, but to us, it is the land of our dreams, a blessed place where we can live, multiply, and finally escape the torment of day after day. So, we just want to continue."

Looking at the meteor shower that filled the sky—each one a newly deceased soul—the woman's voice suddenly turned cold.

"But what's wrong with that?"

Why must my people endure thousands of years of torment? Why must they bear this endless despair again when they have already found hope?

Finally, all his words turned into a long sigh.

"To be honest, I'm not reconciled, really, I'm extremely reconciled."

The leader of the early people looked at Zhou You, his gaze seemingly filled with boundless rage, as if he were looking at an enemy who wanted to devour him alive.

But in the end, it only took a step back and came to the side of that fleshy pillar.

“A thousand years ago, I was defeated by you, the chosen one. A thousand years later, I have encountered you again, the chosen one.”

"And this time, I will never let my people suffer the same torment that has lasted for over a thousand years again."

Tao Le'an finally used his magic at this moment. Of course, this did not mean to drive away that gaze, but rather to temporarily conceal the existence of the two of them, making that thing unable to notice them.

Zhou You regained his ability to move, then he raised his head and looked at the chief of the early people with a silent gaze.

"You've been nagging and complaining for so long, making yourself seem so miserable, saying how desperate you are and how hard you've worked—but I just want to ask you one question."

Has anyone invited you to this land?

There was silence.

In the end, the chieftain simply shook his head and then removed the prince's face from the fleshy pillar.

"I ask you, are you willing to help me here and find relief?"

The Hidden King, who was enduring extreme torment, cried out in a panic.

"I am willing!"

The early leader picked up the head and, like a mask, put it on his own head.

“You are perfectly capable of becoming the first sacrifice—then let me see if this so-called destiny can be crushed by me here!”

At the same time, Zhou You pulled out the Broken Evil.

The malevolent aura surged up like flowing clouds, and in the blink of an eye, it collided with the countless silver threads!
