Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

Since Su Bai asked this question, he must be guessing that the dismembered corpse was put into the house while they were out rescuing people.

Last night, after they rushed out, the house was pitch black. When they came back, they were only concerned with settling Lao Zhou and the others, and no one paid any attention to the table in the middle of the hall. This gave "the thing" an opportunity to take advantage of them.

Huang Xiang nodded quickly, her voice still trembling slightly: "After the three of us went out, we stood outside the door the whole time. We didn't dare go far, and we didn't go inside either."

Hearing this, Luo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "If that's the case, then at least it means that these things won't appear in front of us silently. As long as we stay vigilant, we'll always be able to detect anything unusual."

This sudden crisis finally gave them a moment to breathe, and Huang Xiang and the other two looked a little better. Their tense bodies gradually relaxed, but their eyes were still full of fear as they looked at the table.

Su Bai didn't say anything more. He walked straight to the table, looked down at the strange corpse, his expression calm and undisturbed, as if the bloodshed and horror before him had nothing to do with him.

Only when you get closer can you see the head lying flat on the table. When you see the face clearly, Su Bai's gaze suddenly stops, and a very faint look of surprise flashes in his eyes.

Luo Zheng and Zheng Ge quickly walked to his side and followed his gaze. The moment they saw his face, their expressions darkened, their lips pressed into a tight line, and their aura became increasingly heavy.

That was Jiang Fan's face.

The hidden corpse has now appeared here in such a gruesome way, with all its bones removed, cut into pieces, and pieced together on the table, dripping with blood, like a bizarre sacrifice, or a silent warning.

Who did this? And what was their purpose?

Luo Zheng became increasingly frantic, gripping his hair tightly with both hands until his knuckles turned white, his eyes filled with despair and frustration.

Only when he felt Su Bai's gaze fall on him did he slowly lower his hand and take a deep breath: "Did you discover something?"

Su Bai remained silent.

However, Luo Zheng and Zheng Ge's eyes instantly locked onto him, waiting for him to continue.

Even Huang Xiang and the other two were staring at him intently.

Su Bai's gaze returned to the mangled body on the table, and he said, word by word, "Cook this meat again."

Not to mention Luo Zheng, everyone present was completely bewildered by Su Bai's words, their faces filled with disbelief.

Xu Chen already disliked Su Bai, and now he was the first to jump out and attack, looking at Su Bai with a mocking gaze: "Last night, because of your messing around, everyone didn't sleep well. Otherwise, how could this strange thing have appeared here so quietly? Now, what makes you think you can make us listen to you and cook this thing? You haven't even given an explanation. Do you really think you're the boss?"

Su Bai raised his eyes calmly, meeting Xu Chen's bloodshot eyes with a detached expression, and said without a trace of emotion: "The responsibility lies with you."

"What responsibility do I have?!" Xu Chen's eyes widened even more, and his voice suddenly rose. "Don't try to shift the blame onto me! Did I force you to go out last night? You wanted to go out yourselves..."

"If you cook the fresh meat on the table, then naturally you need fresh meat to replace it." Su Bai interrupted him coldly before he could finish speaking, hitting the nail on the head with one sentence.

Since entering this strange realm, Ma Jun had rarely spoken. Now, he couldn't help but chime in from the back of the crowd, looking at Xu Chen with disgust: "Isn't that right? You were eating so heartily in the kitchen last night, why didn't you say you were disturbing everyone?"

His voice was neither hurried nor loud, yet it was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Xu Chen's sore spot.

Xu Chen's face turned deathly pale instantly, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal for a long time.

Luo Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "When the fresh meat was still on the table, there was never such a bizarre display of corpses."

They clearly agree with Su Bai's analysis.

Zheng Ge's gaze fell on the mostly empty table, and her tone was serious: "You mean, there must always be fresh meat on display here? What's the reason behind that?"

"So, we need to cook this meat again," Su Bai said slowly, "to force that thing that eats fresh meat to act again."

Foods that involve eating fresh meat.

The moment those words were uttered, everyone's expression changed instantly, and a chill ran through them.

Su Bai's words instantly awakened everyone.

After the first night, the large lump of fresh meat on the table became hollow. When Xu Chen cooked and ate the meat, the "fresh meat" reappeared, but this time it was Jiang Fan's human flesh.

Having figured this out, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Xu Chen, their eyes filled with accusation and dissatisfaction.

Xu Chen felt extremely uncomfortable under their gazes and immediately snapped, "Why are you all staring at me? Nobody stopped me when I was taking the meat! Now that something's happened, why are you all staring at me?"

At this point, his eyes widened: "If we cook the meat, but there's no fresh meat, won't someone die again tonight?"

He looked at Su Bai: "You're basically harming everyone."

Luo Zheng said expressionlessly, "Whether the stalemate is broken or not, people will die."

His words were cruel, but also realistic.

Old Zhou snorted coldly, rolling up his sleeves as if he was about to make a move: "So, according to you, whoever causes trouble has to clean up the mess? Fine, then the job of cooking the meat today is yours."

Xu Chen was clearly not afraid of Lao Zhou. He raised his chin and arrogantly provoked, "I just won't do it. What can you do about it?"

"Snap—"

The crisp crack of the whip suddenly pierced the air, carrying a chilling sensation.

Before Lao Zhou could react, Luo Zheng had already drawn the high-voltage whip from his waist and swung it through the air in a cold blue arc.

He stared coldly at Xu Chen: "You can try."

The cold light flashing on the whip instantly shattered Xu Chen's arrogance.

He pursed his lips, not daring to refute Luo Zheng anymore, but he was unwilling to give up. He quickly turned to look at Huang Xiang beside him, his eyes full of pleading.

Huang Xiang, however, had a cold expression and spoke impatiently: "Don't let your actions delay everyone else's important business."

After three days in this strange realm and a series of mishaps, she had long since lost patience with this fool.

Zheng Ge also coldly added, "Or do you think we're all willing to die here with you?"

Even his powerful backer refused to help him. Under the cold gazes of everyone, Xu Chen finally lost his confidence and could only reluctantly move to the table.

But when he saw the dismembered corpse on the table, before he could even do anything, he suddenly turned around, ran to the wall, and began to vomit violently.

They were usually arrogant and domineering, but now they were all in a sorry state.
