While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

pain!

it hurts!

Cao Kun opened his eyes groggily and found himself lying on a cold handcart.

Beside him lay rows of Gundams, their deaths gruesome, some parts of them still pressed down on him.

Only half of the Gundam ND remains.

A Gundam BZ-sized body, completely naked, with nothing on it.

A Gundam, with only a few parts of its body still attached.

A pungent smell assaulted Cao Kun's nostrils, making him feel nauseous and want to vomit.

He instinctively wanted to cry out, but the buzzing and cutting sounds made him swallow the words that were about to come out.

Cao Kun struggled to lift his head and look toward the source of the sound.

All he could see was a figure with its back to him, holding a high-speed chainsaw, cutting up a Gundam.

With a cutting sound, a large amount of liquid splashed onto the figure.

The figure seemed oblivious, continuing to work without pause.

Cao Kun's eyes widened, his heart pounded instantly, feeling like it might leap out of his mouth at any moment.

Where is this?

[Wasn't I watching a horror movie? How did I end up in this godforsaken place?]

No, it's too dangerous here, we have to leave immediately.

Cao Kun tried to move his body, but as soon as he moved, a sharp pain immediately struck him.

He looked down and saw a hideous wound on his stomach. CZ slipped out and piled up on the handcart.

【this……】

Cao Kun felt like his heart was about to stop beating and his breathing was about to stop; the situation was truly terrifying.

Who turned me into this?

While Cao Kun was filled with fear, a strong anger also rose within him.

He slightly raised his eyes and saw that the guy was still cutting diligently.

Suddenly, the man abruptly raised his chainsaw and turned around to look.

Cao Kun's breath hitched, and he quickly closed his eyes, his heart pounding like a drum.

Although it was only for a moment, he could see clearly that the person was wearing a mask.

The mask was extremely eerie, with a deathly white base, high cheekbones, red spiral patterns, and blood-red eyes.

Cao Kun felt that the mask looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But in this situation, he couldn't remember for the moment.

Suddenly, the sound of the chainsaw stopped.

"Crunch... crunch..."

The sound of footsteps hitting the liquid reached Cao Kun's ears, and it was getting closer.

Cao Kun's heart pounded even faster; he knew that guy was walking towards him.

The footsteps grew closer, and Cao Kun's hair stood on end.

He held his breath, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to deal with the situation.

The footsteps stopped, and Cao Kun sensed someone standing in front of him, seemingly sizing him up.

[Damn it, did he find out I'm still alive?]

Should we fight him?

As Cao Kun hesitated, he felt a lightness on his body as the Gundam that had been pressing down on him was dragged away.

"Thump..."

The Gundam landed on the ground with a dull thud.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps on liquid and the sound of heavy objects being dragged came at the same time.

Cao Kun slightly opened his eyes and saw that guy just leave like that.

He didn't notice me; he came to retrieve the Gundam.

Cao Kun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the thought that if he didn't change the status quo, it would soon be his turn, made his heart jump again.

But I'm seriously injured and completely weak, how can I run?

Am I really going to die here today?

There must be another way, a way to survive.

Although he was in a dangerous situation and felt some fear, Cao Kun was surprised to find that he was not too panicked; at least, he was still able to think normally.

Cao Kun looked around. The lighting was dim, the space was large, and there were metal shelves everywhere, as well as some mechanical devices covered in blood and shreds.

Why does this place feel so familiar?

Wait, that mask...

Cao Kun remembered the origin of that mask.

[Saw? Isn't that Jigsaw's mask?]

This scene looks a lot like something out of Saw.

Is someone imitating a Jigsaw crime?

Just as he thought of this, a memory suddenly exploded in Cao Kun's mind.

A moment later, Cao Kun's eyes were filled with shock.

[I've transmigrated? Transmigrated into the body of myself in a parallel world?]

[Is that guy cutting something, either imitating Jigsaw or Jigsaw himself?]

[My parallel universe self acted recklessly before, and was targeted by Jigsaw.]

[He lost the game, resulting in severe injuries, and tragically died from being trapped under a trap.]

[He himself traveled through time, and thus was resurrected.]

Holy crap, this is so dramatic!

What do I do now? I just transmigrated here, and I'm about to be dismembered and die again?

If I died again, would I be able to time travel again?

"Ding! The Celestial Master System has been activated."

"New player gift pack has been distributed."

"You have obtained the cultivation technique: Taiqing Shenxiao Jue."

"You have gained the ability to open your spiritual eye."

"You have obtained a peach wood sword, which has been placed in the system space."

"Host detected to be critically injured and in imminent danger. New player gift pack temporarily adds one healing session."

"QG detected outside the host's body. Please return the QG to its normal position as soon as possible and begin treatment."

Upon hearing the series of voices echoing in his mind, Cao Kun was first stunned, then his eyes flashed with wild joy.

[System! You don't have to die now!]

By the way, QG is back to positive territory.

Cao Kun glanced over there; Jigsaw was still dismembering the body and hadn't noticed him.

Cao Kun stretched out his hand with difficulty, gritted his teeth, and endured the excruciating pain to slowly push the fallen CZ back in, bit by bit.

Soon, Cao Kun's pale face was covered in cold sweat.

Cao Kun felt like he was about to grind his teeth to pieces to keep himself from making a sound.

Finally, Cao Kun stuffed all of his CZ into his stomach.

"Host QG detected to be positive, treatment to begin."

The emotionless, mechanical voice echoed in my mind once again.

Cao Kun also felt that his wounds were beginning to heal.

It's pretty fast; I estimate it will be fully restored in about half an hour.

What is the Celestial Master System used for?

Cao Kun silently asked himself.

However, the system did not respond.

Does this system lack conversation functionality?

Cao Kun realized something.

Why is it suddenly so cold?

Cao Kun sensed something above his head.

He looked up slightly and immediately saw two somewhat illusory figures floating in mid-air.

A figure was reduced to half an ND, covered in blood.

Another figure split apart to the sides, leaving a sizable crack in the middle.

These two figures were exactly the same as the two corpses lying beside him.

But clearly, the two corpses were still lying quietly beside him.

【This is……】

Cao Kun's eyes widened as he realized what was happening.

These two figures are definitely not human.

Just then, two figures lunged at the jigsaw that was cutting.

But as soon as they got close, they were bounced back by an invisible force, appearing to be in great pain.

Cao Kun was taken aback.

[It's said that people who have killed possess a malevolent aura. Jigsaw has killed so many people, his malevolent aura must be very strong; these two things can't harm him at all.]

After being thrown back, the two objects showed obvious fear towards the jigsaw.

Suddenly, their gazes shifted to Cao Kun, their eyes filled with resentment and malice, as if blaming Cao Kun for not dying.

The next moment, they pounced straight at Cao Kun.

Holy crap!

Cao Kun screamed inwardly, wanting to dodge, but his body wouldn't allow it.

But as soon as the two figures made contact with Cao Kun, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from Cao Kun's body.

Before the two figures could even utter a sound, they were instantly cleaved in two, their souls scattered.

"Ding! Killed a G-rank ghost, gained 100 merit points."

"Ding! Killed a G-rank ghost, gained 100 merit points."

"Ding! Killed a G-rank ghost, obtained the Taiqing Sword Technique."

"Ding! Killed a G-level ghost, obtained the 'Taoist Manual'."

The commotion caught Jigsaw's attention.

He turned around and his eyes met Cao Kun's.
