It's time to become an evil god.

Upon hearing this, the young man suddenly realized something, quickly glanced at his crotch, and after confirming that the family heirloom was still on him, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

But the thought of what had just happened made her immediately anxious again.

Bai Ge reassured her, "It's alright, don't worry, that ghost won't follow you anymore."

The young man asked cautiously, "Are you sure?"

"Of course."

Bai Ge patted his chest and said, "After our tireless efforts and repeated torture day and night, she has finally admitted that ghosts do not exist."

The young man asked cautiously, "...Ghosts don't exist? Then what kind of ghost has she turned into?"

"She now sees herself as a red ghost wandering the European continent."

"Grass."

The young people couldn't tell whether Bai Ge was joking or telling the truth.

"Come on, tell me, what exactly is this so-called cult?"

Bai Ge stared at the other person and asked, "What exactly happened between you two?"

Under Bai Ge's earnest yet threatening gaze, he finally slowly revealed the whole story.

"My name is Chen An. Here's what happened. That day, I went on an outdoor adventure with a few friends in a small town in the northern suburbs. We went to rent a room at a hotel. The hotel was cheap, but it didn't look too shabby."

"After checking in, the front desk gave me a card with three circles and five X's on it. When I asked the staff what it meant, they didn't explain it and just smiled at me."

At this point, Chen An's voice began to tremble. "After I went back to my room, I put my suitcase down and went to the bathroom. I saw a dark shadow in the frosted glass of the bathroom, as if someone was inside. But when I opened it, there was no one there. When I came out to get my luggage, I found that a clump of wet hair had seeped out of the suitcase and was tangled up, so I couldn't open it at all. Just as I was about to pry it open with force, a pale arm suddenly emerged from inside and grabbed my wrist."

Suddenly the phone rang in the guest room, and my arm and hair were gone. I was lying in bed and had fallen asleep sometime during the night.

At first, I thought it was just a nightmare and didn't pay much attention, going out to explore and gather footage. When I returned that evening, I saw the door to the next room was open, and a person was standing there. The room was covered in blood, even their hands were stained with blood. I asked the person at the door what was going on, and he told me that there were eight unusual rooms in the hotel. The front desk would give you a card with a circle and an X on it. The circle represented safety, which might save your life in a critical moment, while the X represented deadly ghosts. However, these things only worked within the room and wouldn't leave. The entire hotel was controlled by a cult called the Lord of Oneness.

"He even enthusiastically invited me to his room to see what monsters were there. After hearing that, I was so scared that I ran away as fast as I could, abandoning my luggage. The man was still standing behind me, shouting that it was futile to run away anywhere, that the One Lord of All Things had his eye on us, and that one day we would be sacrificed to their Lord."

"After I escaped the hotel, my friends also ran out in a panic. While someone was taking a shower, a wavy tentacle suddenly emerged from the bathtub drain, wrapped around him, and tried to strangle him. Someone opened the door and inexplicably entered a completely unfamiliar living room. A woman in a white dress was standing in the kitchen with her back to her, wielding a kitchen knife and chopping off a dead man's arm. The woman then took off her clothes, tore open the stitches on the skin, and out crawled a female body covered in breasts—a living hell!"

“We didn’t care about anything else and took a bus away from that town overnight. But the nightmare was far from over. My friend started having frequent nightmares, dreaming of a group of strange people in black robes chasing him. And every time he woke up, the group of strange people were one step closer to him. I heard from that friend that there was a very effective paper shaman here, so I thought I’d take a gamble and run over to ask for help.”

Chen An clutched her hair, saying in great pain, "Those cultists are chasing me! Please save me! I'm still young, I don't want to become a sacrifice to an evil god."

"I think...your story is very interesting."

After listening, Bai Ge said with a serious expression, "Have you considered writing down your experiences and having them produced by a professional company into a series of at least four episodes?"

"..."

Chen An looked at Bai Ge, who was seriously offering his opinion, with a strange expression, and said, "Sir, although people's fetishes are a matter of personal freedom, I still suggest that you find a foundation to accommodate you."

"Tch, what do you kids know?"

Bai Ge waved his hand and said, "Do you know what lower-level gods are best at? Isn't it tentacles, swallowing pills, binding, hypnosis, and time stopping? Aren't those things that Brother Gongba has already done? These priestly evil gods don't even have as heavy a taste as Brother Gongba."

"..."

Chen An clung to Bai Ge's sleeve as if grasping at a straw, trembling as she said, "Master, I'll do anything you ask as long as you can save me."

“I can save you, but there’s no time now. I have something else to take care of. You and your friend can stay here temporarily, and I’ll help you after I’ve dealt with my current problem.”

After explaining the other matters, Bai Ge stood up impatiently. In order to prepare for this high-level test, Bai Ge had already dug out all the money he had saved up for his funeral.

At that moment, a ticking countdown sounded in my mind, and my figure transformed into a beam of light, disappearing from the spot.

The final trial has begun.

Chapter 185 The Turbulent Hotel

His body jolted, and the Holy Lord slowly opened his eyes, looking around blankly. He found himself sitting on a bus, the scenery outside the window rushing past. He turned his head and saw that the bus was full of people, yet the interior was eerily quiet.

At this moment, the background information of this mission also very appropriately echoed in my mind.

You are a professor from Huaxia University, and you and your colleagues from other universities have been invited to participate in the Tokyo Art Fair, which is held every four years. For some reason, you have a strange sense of unease about this exhibition...

The Holy Lord shook his head, forcing himself to stay alert. As a high-ranking member of the Oneness Bishop's faction, he had seen many strange and unusual missions, and this kind of role-playing story mission was not new to him. However, this trial mission disrupted his previous sacrificial plan, forcing him to enter the trial mission ahead of schedule despite a lack of necessary items.

"Are you awake?"

A strange voice came from beside the Holy Lord. He turned his head and saw a young man wearing a monocle staring at him with a smile. As a reader of the novel "Lord of Mysteries," I couldn't help but feel a chill when I saw this guy appear before me.

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to shake hands with the other person.

Bai Ge said, "My surname is Bai, you can call me Professor Bai."

The Holy Lord nodded and introduced himself, "My surname is Holy. My main research area is literary theory. May I ask what Professor Bai's major is?"

Bai Ge gave a mysterious smile. "I am Modern Funeral Art and Management."

"..."

For a moment, the Holy Lord stood there, not knowing how to reply to the other party, and muttered to himself, "Why is this guy not playing by the rules at all?"

However, the Holy Lord never expected that even more unpredictable moves were yet to come. Bai Ge, holding a book, said seriously, "After attending this art exhibition, I'm going back to my hometown to get married."

"..."

"Look, this is my fiancée. She's waiting for me to come back and marry her."

"..."

“She is already carrying my child, and I will be a father in a few months.”

"...Don't you dare make some ridiculous predictions here!"

Even the Holy Lord couldn't help but want to complain after hearing this. The other party even specially handed over a photo of his fiancée. After glancing at it, he immediately stopped.

Do you really think I'm not into anime and manga?

That's clearly a picture of Kirino Kousaka!

The Holy Lord looked up with a troubled expression, gazed at Professor Bai in front of him, and tentatively asked, "Is your wife Chen Rui?"

"..."

The bus had stopped, and the translator from the art club was directing everyone to get off. The Holy Lord glanced at the other players present; aside from a few unfamiliar IDs, most were players from the Special Affairs Bureau, and there were even a few familiar faces.

Especially upon seeing the witch carrying the staff, he involuntarily froze, some unpleasant memories flooding his mind, leaving him standing there dumbfounded.

"Professor Saint, what's wrong? You look terrible. Could it be late-stage cancer?"

Bai Ge, who was standing next to him, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the other person with concern. "My friend runs a crematorium. If you give me my name, I'll give you a 50% discount on the second body cremation."

"..."

The Holy Lord's blood pressure instantly rose, and he quietly clenched his fists. If he hadn't been shielded from his teammates' damage, he would have wanted to punch the other party right now.

Xi Zeliang walked over and quietly tugged at Bai Ge's sleeve, whispering, "You'd better stay away from that guy."

"Ok?"

Bai Ge turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"This guy is a notorious cult leader."

The witch beside her curled her lip in disdain. "He's an antisocial thug who's so heartless as to sacrifice his eight-year-old twins to an evil god. Our Special Affairs Bureau has been hunting him down, but he has some kind of secret life-saving gadget that we haven't been able to find out where he is. If it weren't for the fact that this mission shielded me from teammate damage, I could have executed him on the spot."

"So he is the leader of the Church of the Unity of All Things."

Bai Ge stared at the other person's back, nodding thoughtfully. The witch and Xize Liang, seeing the meaningful expression on his face, subconsciously moved to the side. After all, when Bai Ge showed that expression, it meant that someone was very likely doomed. After all, the last organization that offended him hadn't even left behind ashes, but instead left behind a terrifying urban legend about eating excrement.

As everyone carried their luggage, they entered the Asahikawa Hotel one after another. However, Bai Ge sensed that something was wrong with the hotel.

In the main hall, there is a ferocious and angry statue of a demon, and even more eerie is a small Buddhist shrine on the right wall, which contains a strange statue with four arms and two faces.

"In the sixty-fifth year, there was a person in the country of Feida who was one body with two faces, each face facing away from the other, with no neck, and each with hands and feet. He had knees but no heels, and was called Su Nuo."

A familiar voice came from behind them. The three turned around and saw Wuxian and Xuemo carrying luggage as they walked in. Xuemo looked at the statues inside and explained, "It looks like this is where the Two-Faced Sukuna is enshrined."

"And look at the staff here, they don't seem quite right either."

All eyes turned to the staff in the hall, who all wore indifferent, numb, and cold expressions, seemingly unresponsive to external stimuli.

Bai Ge quipped, "I used to think that the distance between me and your country was just a customs crossing, but I never imagined it would be a gateway to hell."

"I just browsed some news on my phone. The Japan in this world isn't too different from what we know, except that they have an art exhibition every four years."

With his hands in his pockets, Infinite appeared nonchalant, but his eyes were constantly scanning his surroundings. "So far, we've only grasped the overall world-building of the scenario; nobody knows the specific instructions for the next mission. However, some players have already begun their exploration. Like the one behind us."

Upon hearing these words, everyone turned around and looked behind them. A mysterious middle-aged man with long, flowing golden hair stood at the door, coldly scrutinizing the players in the hall.

"President Trump".

Blood Demon said in a hoarse voice, "Some people say that this guy was suddenly chosen as a player, and his first mission was to enter the world of SBR. No one knows what happened in his horse race, but when he returned after completing the mission, he was a completely different person."

"It seems that it's not just us; high-level players from all over the world have been selected to join this trial mission to leave the newbie village."

Bai Ge analyzed, "So, we're representing the national team now?"

"Let's go get some food first."

The witch patted her belly and said, "Items and skills are unusable. At first, the system probably wanted us to explore the mission background on our own. Some background settings may have a crucial impact on the subsequent missions."

Wuxian scratched his head and said, "It's just like a tabletop role-playing game quest."

The group arrived at the hotel's buffet restaurant, where a dazzling array of ingredients awaited them: salmon sashimi, tempura, sushi, grilled fish, and grilled eel.

Bai Ge walked up to the chef, looked at the tuna on the counter with half its meat removed, and tentatively asked, "Chef, something doesn't look right with this fish. Could it be an ingredient sent from Fukushima?"

The chef frowned and said impatiently, "Why worry about so much? Eat it or don't, it's up to you!"

The tuna lying on the counter suddenly raised its head and shouted at Bai Ge, "That's right! Take it or leave it!"

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Bai Ge's lips twitched slightly as he said, "I'm not very hungry yet, so I'll go back to my room first."

"Take this."

Xi Zeliang handed his emergency call device to Bai Ge, saying, "This is an improved version of the emergency call device. You can still contact us even if you are sent into the two-dimensional world."

Blood Demon added, "But you should still be careful. I have a bad feeling that this hotel isn't as peaceful as it seems."
