Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

"Someone I dislike?"

Chu Ge was slightly taken aback.

She sensed a familiar presence approaching and instantly realized who Lilith was referring to.

"fine."

She waved her hand, gesturing for the other person to sit down.

Lilith hesitated for a moment, then sat down. However, her eyes remained fixed on a certain direction.

The campfire crackled and popped, sending sparks flying into the night sky.

Soon, a figure emerged from the darkness and appeared beside the campfire.

It's Li Yi.

He was carrying some things in each hand: free-range chickens he raised and vegetables he grew himself.

Natural and pollution-free.

The free-range chickens were still clucking, and water droplets clung to the vegetable leaves.

After putting these things down, he found a clean place to sit down.

"Help yourself if you want some."

Chu Ge pointed to the sizzling wild boar being roasted and said casually, "Don't be shy."

Lilith, standing to the side, kept her eyes fixed on Li Yi.

She bared her teeth, making a low gurgling sound in her throat, as if she were about to launch an attack.

Li Yi ignored Lilith's unfriendly gaze.

He looked at the white-haired girl and asked curiously, "Why do you keep an evil spirit as a pet?"

"She came to my house on her own," Chu Ge replied calmly.

She turned to Lilith beside her and said, "Lilith, Li Yi is my friend, he won't hurt you."

Seeing the livid, evil spirit girl, she naturally understood what was going on.

The book says that evil spirits are restrained by sunlight, so they are naturally averse to those extraordinary beings with light-based abilities.

Li Yi, as an S-rank light-elemental transcendent, possessed an extremely dense concentration of light magic. To Lilith, it was as if a small sun was sitting next to her.

Hagi Lilith was stressed, so of course she got angry.

"...Hmm." Lilith nodded gently, her attitude towards Li Yi softening considerably. But her body remained tense, and her eyes still held a wary look.

Li Yi looked at Chu Ge and slowly said, "I came to see you today to tell you that a new round of the 'Witch Game' is about to begin. Remember to be prepared."

"I know."

Chu Ge nodded; she naturally remembered that the game started every Monday morning. But she was still deeply grateful to Li Yi for coming to remind her: "Thank you."

"fine."

Li Yi waved his hand and continued speaking.

"This witch game should be called 'Different Food Party'."

His tone became serious.

"Once the game starts, everyone's appetite for the foods they used to hate will increase a hundredfold."

"My appetite for the foods I like to eat has decreased by ten thousand times."

"And one's stomach is always in a state of extreme hunger."

Chu Ge listened quietly without interrupting.

Li Yi continued, "The danger of this game is that everyone has different things they hate to eat. And you can only eat what you hate the most."

"If you try to eat other things, you will experience the pain of ten thousand insects gnawing at your heart, and then die in agony."

"If you don't eat them and try to get through it on your own, you will still suffer the pain of ten thousand insects gnawing at your heart and die in agony."

He paused, then added, "Even if you wanted to exploit a bug and anesthetize yourself, it wouldn't work. Because once the game starts, you'll be forced to wake up; there's no escaping it."

"Some people hate cilantro the most, but once the game starts, they'll start eating cilantro like crazy."

"Some people hate eating poop the most, so once the game starts, they'll start eating poop like crazy."

"Some people hate cannibalism the most, so once the game starts, they will extend their claws to their own kind."

Li Yi's voice echoed in the night.

"If it's something like cilantro, that's fine, but something like poop is barely tolerable."

"But deep down, if the thing you hate eating most is 'people'..."

He paused.

"That would be a tragedy."

"If you are strong, you will devour others to gain a chance of survival."

"If you are weak, you can only stare helplessly and wait to die, or wait for someone else to devour you and meet your death."

The campfire flickered, casting shifting shadows on his face.

"There's another very troublesome point."

"This game lasts for three days, and during that time, you'll always be hungry."

"If the food you hate most happens to be the same food that many other people hate most, it can lead to food insufficiency."

"Even the potato, which has the highest yield, will not be enough to eat if many people who are unaware of hunger are eyeing it at the same time."

"This raises another issue: the other party may not eat you, but they might kill you and then steal your food."

"Of course, it's also very simple to survive to the end in this game: just prepare enough of your least favorite food."

"This game is actually quite safe for people like us who are hiding on a deserted island, as long as we prepare in advance."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he also recalled the scene when he first participated in this game.

His lips twitched.

The thing he hates to eat the most is—

shit.

At that time, his family was considered relatively wealthy.

So he hoarded a lot of feces.

Fortunately, the quantity was sufficient and the quality was good, so the game process was relatively stable.

He took a deep breath and forced back that painful memory.

After so many years of "pica games," some of the people on Witch Star have developed pica to the core.

They eat their own kind.

This is strictly prohibited outside of game time.

The official organization of Witch Star—the Human Alliance—would never allow this to happen.

Once such an inhumane phenomenon is discovered, the person will be executed immediately.

On the extremely open-minded Witch Star, "cannibalism is forbidden"—this is probably humanity's last line of defense.

However, this rule will temporarily disappear once the witch game begins.

Even if everything you do is recorded—

Even if you slaughter an entire village—

There will be no penalty after the game ends.

Because once desire is aroused, even those who make and enforce this prohibition rule cannot escape falling into it.

Something that happened out of necessity.

No one has the right to judge anyone else.

However, those who like to eat their own kind actually became the safest group after the game started.

You don't need to worry about them eating you.

What you should worry about is not those high-sounding people who act righteously outside of game time.

It's not those who are taciturn either.

Rather, those—

Truly morally upright and kind people outside of games.

In pica parties, the proportion of cannibalism is actually quite high.

"it is good."

Chu Ge nodded.

"I see."

She also learned about the rules of the "pica party" from the book.

But she wasn't sure if she would be excluded from the game like she was in the "Cage of Desire" last time.

She thought about it that time too.

Perhaps it was because of her firm resolve, the fact that she had already had her uterus removed, and the fact that she truly had no sexual desire whatsoever.

So even if sexual desire is magnified a hundredfold.

A hundred times zero is still zero.

But this "Strange Food Party" is different.

It selects the food you hate the most and then amplifies your appetite a hundredfold.

For the white-haired girl, she wasn't picky about food; all food was equal in her eyes. But when it came to liking something more or less, there would definitely be subtle differences.

Chu Ge had no idea what his least favorite food was.

Therefore, she did not prepare in advance.

I'm too lazy to prepare.

Even if she ate food other than what she considered her "most hated food," she was not afraid of enduring the pain of being devoured by countless insects.

It's just about tempering your resolve; bring it on!

However, she also really wanted to know one thing: what was the food she hated the most?

We'll probably only find out once the game starts.

"Time is almost up."

Li Yi glanced at his watch and said to Chu Ge, "It's almost twelve o'clock, I need to go back and get ready."

At this point, Li Yi's lips twitched again, revealing a look of resignation.

because--

I have to go back to eating shit again.

"it is good."

Chu Ge nodded.

After Li Yi left, only Chu Ge and Lilith remained on the deserted island.

The campfire was still burning.

Mars flew into the night sky and then slowly faded away.

What's your least favorite food?

Chu Ge asked Lilith, "The game hasn't started yet, you can go and prepare."

"I don't know." Lilith shook her head, her eyes clear yet confused. "I don't think there's anything I dislike eating."

"So what did you eat at the [Strange Food Party]?"

Chu Ge seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "This isn't your first time participating in this game, is it?"

"Um."

Lilith nodded blankly.

"This is indeed my first time participating in this game. Because my memory tells me I was only a few days old."

"Just as I thought."

Chu Ge nodded; it was just as she had guessed.

Lilith was dismembered and stuffed into a suitcase shortly after she was born and quickly grew up.

Then, she found it.

So don't be fooled by Lilith's youthful appearance.

But actually, she's a little girl?

That seems to be the case.

Looking at Lilith's exquisite face, Chu Ge suddenly felt that this world was becoming more and more absurd.

Even if the so-called blind and foolish god of the Kreece came here, he would be nothing more than a loli at best.

I'm going to be driven crazy.

Time passed second by second.

The fire crackled and popped, and the last piece of roasted meat on top was eaten.

Lilith licked her fingers, still wanting more, and then her eyes fell on the free-range chicken that Li Yi had just brought over, and she pounced on it.

Startled, it leaped up into the tree.

She then went up to catch it.

The white-haired girl sat there quietly, watching as the evil spirit girl took two and a half minutes to catch the chicken.

12 o'clock —

Arrived.

A crimson moon rose from the sea, its light spilling across the surface and turning the entire ocean a dark red.

What followed was a cold, electronic voice that echoed throughout every corner of the world.

"The Witch Game begins in ten minutes—"

"The name of this round's game is 'Ghost Food Party'."

"This round's Night Keeper - The Gluttonous Witch."
