Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 465 Murderer
They were clearly just beasts who only followed their instincts, yet at this moment they seemed like humans, their bloodshot eyes even looking through the camera, staring directly at everyone in the room.

There is only one meaning to it.

That was blatant mockery.

Zhou You is right. Such unorthodox methods always come at a high price.

But the same thing.

If this guy is determined to fight to the death.

That's the power it can unleash.
It's also much bigger!

Countless wings shot into the sky, accompanied by a piercing crackling sound, as if they were blotting out the sun.

Everyone was stunned; even with Lin Chen's composure, he couldn't utter a single command.

They stood there and watched until the birds broke through the boundary and crashed into the first house.

The person hiding in the room was immediately poisoned—but the next moment, several deep red lines suddenly lit up on the wall.

Immediately.

The first flock of crows was completely burned!
There was no accelerant or even a trace of flame, yet silvery-white flames rapidly spread across the bodies of those birds, engulfing them completely in the blink of an eye.

Only now did Lin Chen finally come to his senses.

Before leaving, Master Zhou did indeed draw magic arrays around the area, saying it was some kind of feng shui arrangement. Of course, I didn't understand it myself.

Now it seems it really works?
However, unlike his subordinates who suddenly relaxed, Lin Chen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Zhou You only spent a few hours drawing this formation, which was obviously done hastily. How long can it hold off these things?

Moreover, that guy's skill level is obviously not bad either, so how could he only have this one method?
However, at this point, Lin Chen could only pray silently.

I pray this thing can hold out for a little longer.

and also.

"Master, please come back soon!"
-
Zhou You suddenly raised his head and glanced at the sky.

"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong?"

Zhou You shook his head and replied.

"It's nothing, I just felt that the magic array I set up was triggered." Despite saying this, Zhou You didn't show any anxiety and turned his attention back to the original situation.

—This is the fifth one they've found.

The first four places were all the same. Except for the one who might have known something and was tortured to death, the rest were all cleanly and neatly beheaded with a single blow, and their resentment was taken away as material.

Furthermore, the times they died were all extremely close together.

"Even if that guy was cautious, he wouldn't be this cautious. He was clearly still immature, and yet he just went ahead and made a move."

Zhou You thought about it for a while, but decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

It's strange, really. Although everyone in this club is a college student, almost none of them live in dormitories. They all rent apartments outside.

The last person's residence was particularly remote, almost in the suburbs. The surrounding area consisted of single-story houses slated for demolition, and there were very few people living in the entire area; even lit-up areas were extremely rare.

Zhou You quickly found the place.

As usual, I knocked on the door and waited.

pity.

— Again, there has been no response.

Zhou You sighed, abandoned all the fancy tricks, broke the lock, and strode in confidently.

As for whether they will be seen by others.
Anyway, Lin Chen would help with the cleanup afterwards, and he was quite confident in the connections of this kind of tycoon.

The room is quite spacious.

Perhaps because it was located in the suburbs, this room wasn't as cramped as the previous ones; dim lighting shone from the ceiling, and the hallway was fairly clean.
Wen Tianyi put down his hand that was pinching his nose and muttered to himself.

"Finally, we've found a decent place after all this journey."

however.

He was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped.

He quickly realized something.

Who turned on the lights in this room?
There were no lights visible outside, so how come the lights turned on as soon as I opened the door?
Wen Tianyi glanced at Zhou You with timid eyes, but all he saw was a face with a slight smile on its lips.

Zhou You didn't care about anything else, and instead carried Wan Ren into the house.

There was no one in the hallway, living room, bedroom, or bathroom—finally, their footsteps stopped in front of the kitchen.

Just as Zhou You was about to pry open the door with the hilt of his sword, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around, and gave an order to Wen Tianyi.

"Hey Lao Wen."

"Master Zhou?"

"What happens next might be a bit scary. Why don't you go out and avoid it for a while?"

Wen Tian was overjoyed for a moment, but after looking at the dead silence of the night outside and then at his own chubby body, he resolutely said.

"Master Zhou, how could I possibly abandon you at a time like this? Don't worry, I'll risk everything, even my own flesh and blood."

Zhou You smiled but didn't expose him. Instead, he used the hilt of his sword to push open the door.

—A putrid stench mixed with the smell of blood instantly hit me.

Unlike the previous ones, which smelled like a garbage dump, this stench was more like the smell of pure biological decay—like throwing a dead pig out into the scorching sun for three days, a smell that would make anyone want to stay away.

And in this room.

A person is sitting at one corner of the dining table.

It can be seen that this person is a thin young man. Judging from his appearance, he is probably one of the college students living here. He is wearing an inexpensive sweatshirt, but there seems to be nothing wrong with him below the neck.

As for above the neck...
Dense stitches covered the skin, as if a clumsy tailor had forcibly connected the head and neck. Half of the pale face was exposed, while the other half was covered by a paper bag.

It looks extremely creepy.

Zhou You seemed oblivious to this anomaly, and instead of making a move, he chuckled and pulled out a chair, sitting down opposite the object.

Then, he said it very familiarly.

"You're that sorcerer?"

There was no response from the other end.

The reattached head swayed a few times, then slowly turned around.

Dark green pus seeped from the cracks, making the stench in the room even stronger.

After a long while, the cracked lips slowly opened.

It's a rhetorical question.

"—Are you the intruder who suddenly barged in and ruined my plans?"

Zhou You grinned.

"Exactly—but brother, before we introduce ourselves, I have to ask you something. As far as I know, there are a few people sharing this house. One of them was demoted to a boarding house by you. What about the others? Where did they go?"

The man who stitched the hair still didn't answer—but he stretched out his hand and pointed to the table.

Those were several covered plates.

"You mean they're right here?" No answer, just continued pointing.

Zhou You wasn't annoyed, but instead gave Wen Tianyi a wink.

With nowhere else to retreat, the fat man could only approach the door with a long face and cautiously open it.

however,
Just the next second.

As if she had seen something incredibly terrifying, she suddenly let out a scream like a woman, and scrambled back into the room.

the reason is simple.

The first plate contained two heads that looked like they had died with their eyes open; the second plate contained entrails covered in flies; and the third plate contained…
It was a pile of rotten flesh, minced into paste, oozing blood, and utterly disgusting.

Zhou You maintained the same expression, but upon seeing such a tragic scene, his eyes finally turned cold.

"So many murders in one day. Putting aside the extremely negative impact, the price you paid must have been considerable, right? What, how many of your internal organs are still intact?"

After a long pause, the man who had stitched the hair spoke in a muffled voice.

"These people died because of you."

Oh, here we go again, huh?
Zhou You responded with a disdainful snort.

"Don't try to put me down with that. I've seen plenty of moral blackmail before—even if I don't get involved, do you think you can just let these poor people off the hook?"

Seemingly speechless at this blatant attitude, the man who stitched the hair finally spoke a few minutes later.

"Who exactly are you? Although I haven't set foot in China for a long time, I know that your cultivators are currently facing a shortage of skilled individuals. If a master like you had truly emerged, I shouldn't have been completely unaware of your abilities."

His speech was very rigid, but just as Zhou You was about to respond, Wen Tianyi suddenly leaned over shakily.

"Master Zhou."

"I know you're scared, but don't worry, this thing is just a puppet with a possessed soul. Besides, I'm here, it can't hurt you."

Zhou You gently patted Wen Tianyi on the shoulder, offered a comforting word, and then smiled at the man who had his hair sewn.

"Just pretend I popped out of a rock—but then again, I'm quite curious about you. Why are you, a sorcerer, not causing trouble in Southeast Asia, but instead coming to China?"

The man who had his hair sewn shut his mouth again.

However, Zhou You didn't care whether he answered or not, but instead counted on his fingers and casually guessed.

"Gathering materials? No, so many people disappear in Southeast Asia every year, why would you come all the way to China to do that? Are you here for revenge? But your indiscriminate killing doesn't seem like you're here for revenge, so..."

Zhou You looked at the strange creature, and his words suddenly turned cold.

"Your cultivation technique is under a curse, so you've come to us looking for a solution?"

The person who was stitching his hair suddenly raised his head. Although his eyes were covered by the paper bag, he still gave people the feeling of being stared at.

The two sides immediately reached a stalemate.

However, at this moment, Wen Tianyi reluctantly came over again.

"Master Zhou."

"Old Wen, don't interrupt, this is the time to have some fun."

Zhou You turned his head again and said with a smile.

"And what you found was either that extraterrestrial demon, or rather, some of its retinue."

"enough!"

Now that he had spoken, the man finally roared out loud.

Zhou You, however, paid no attention and laughed even more heartily.

"What, did I hit a nerve? But I'm quite curious, how did you find so many that fit?"

But before he could finish speaking, Wen Tianyi, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but shout.

"Master Zhou!"

"Hey Lao Wen, what's wrong all of a sudden? You startled me."

However, this person simply pointed around the room with a look of utter fear on their face.

Zhou You followed suit and looked over.

Then, I was taken aback.

At this moment, the room is melting.

—Literal melting.

Kitchenware, decorations, and even doors seemed to flow down slowly like butter in a fire, and in the blink of an eye, the whole house became deformed and distorted.

I peeked out through the door.
A corridor? No, where is the corridor?

Only strange paths stretched out, layer upon layer, as if leading to an endless void.

But after looking at the scene, Zhou You paused for a few seconds before laughing.

"I think I understand what you mean. Use these students as bait to lure me in, and then use magic to trap me in this final spot—anyway, this is just a puppet at the assembly point, so even if I cut it down, it won't affect you much."

The man who had his hair sewn shut gave a cold snort.

"I admit you're stronger than me, and I can't beat you right now. But you won't be able to break free of my Ghostly Illusion Technique anytime soon. Once we get the most crucial material, you..."

"They all have to die!"
-
The room where Lin Chen was located in the villa.

Everyone's emotions went from initial excitement to helplessness, and now only utter silence remains.

Admittedly, the feng shui array set up by Zhou You did have a significant effect at the beginning, turning many of the flying beasts in the sky into charred remains. However, as time went by, the talismans he drew gradually faded away and eventually lost their ability to stop them.

So they could only watch helplessly as the herd of beasts closed in, until finally...
Even inside the house, something happened.

In the midst of the deathly silence, suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out.

Everyone else turned to look and saw a young woman who had just started working there clutching her stomach, laughing maniacally. The laughter was so jarring that it sent chills down their spines.

Lin Chen gave a grim look, and soon someone grabbed the girl and temporarily locked her in the basement.

—Now, more than half of the people in the house are gone.

Some of them were poisoned by the curse, but a large portion of them couldn't bear the torment and ran away.

The fate of those who fell to the ground was indeed tragic, but those who fled alone into the woods at night, frankly, weren't necessarily in much better shape.

However, Lin Chen didn't care whether he was being attacked or escaping.

He just kept watching the monster get closer and closer, his face growing increasingly grim.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The sound was not loud; in fact, it could be described as very faint.

However, everyone still stopped what they were doing and stared in horror at the source of the sound.

Admittedly, in the surveillance footage, the overwhelming horde of flying beasts was still some distance away.

But in this situation, who else would knock on the door?

Fortunately, Zhou You took better care of the house and set up more elaborate spells. Dozens of talismans emitted a faint light at the same time, which at least temporarily kept all evil spirits out.

just.

Who knows how long this can last?
