Out of Danger

Boom!

The circus cellar door was broken open by a powerful force, as if a huge impact had erupted below.

Almost the instant everyone regained consciousness,

Li Beite didn't need to adjust to this Flesh Return Sensation at all; he instantly switched to his strongest form and struck the clown beside him with a palm strike.

Its power was astonishing, even more exaggerated than what was described in the incident.

This palm strike completely tore the clown, who had his skull sewn shut with corpse parts, to shreds, exploded, and turned him into dust.

However, a wisp of mist drifted away from the shattered flesh and seeped into the ground.

Following closely behind,

The entire amusement park was gradually shrouded in mist.

The tourists and staff who were collected from the Corner Shallow Layer by "Uncle Jock" over several years were all exposed to this mist.

The white paint smeared on their faces had altered their biological characteristics, giving them a "Balloon Essence," with multiple rubber openings that rapidly absorbed the mist.

During this process, their bodies gradually swell, especially their heads.

As they devoured the fog that enveloped the entire amusement park, everyone reached a state of saturation, their bodies rising rapidly into the air like balloons.

Starting with the amusement park,

These human-shaped balloons quickly drifted in different directions around the corner.

It can even accelerate movement by using jet propulsion.

Even so, Li Beite still did not give up the pursuit.

But as he stepped out of the cellar, a hand pressed down on his shoulder, instantly pinning him to the spot with sheer force.

The surface of the albino palm is covered with bluish-green veins resembling marble, corresponding to a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties with white hair.

The first zombie - Jia Wen.

Standing next to Jia Wen was, of course, Mr. Question Mark.

"Li Beite ... there's no need to chase; a single misstep will lead to defeat."

Moreover, judging from your expression, you must have gained something else as well. There are countless opportunities hidden in the shadows; don't let a moment of impulsiveness lead you down the wrong path.

Even though he was suppressed by Jia Wen, and even though Mr. Question Mark tried to dissuade him.

Li Beite still wouldn't stop, because the other party dared to snatch things from him and even injured part of his body.

Currently, Li Beite's body is still radiating burnt heat from the front, and his entire chest is a bloody mess.

He was at the height of his temper and felt he was about to take action against Jia Wen, who was suppressing him.

Just then,

Mr. Question Mark's head, covered by a sack, suddenly came close, filling Li Beite's entire field of vision with the question mark.

In an instant,

Li Beite's volatile emotions subsided, and he gradually withdrew from his current Perfect Form, transforming into a frail young man with blond hair parted in the middle.

"Are you alright, Li Beite? Are my gloves comfortable?"

What brings you here?

"Hey~ I can sense places related to games like this, and you two, the newly Grand Challenge Champion of the challenge, are also involved. How could I not come?"

Since that clown is willing to completely abandon his original brain in exchange for the incomplete Mist Brain, let him take it.

Wait a few years until your plants are fully mature, and he will probably have a complete grasp of the Mist System by then. That would be the best outcome to retrieve what he lost.

"Let's go! Let's go down and check on the other participants, and see how Luo Di is doing."

Mr. Question Mark had been secretly watching the events unfold on television, but in the final moments, the camera only followed the corpses, losing sight of Luo Di.

Moreover, many scenes in the event could not be shown, such as the confrontation between Luo Di and the Mist Man.

Mr. Question Mark knew perfectly well that Luo Di wouldn't be knocked unconscious by an explosion of that magnitude.

He was eager to know what Luo Di had gained by deliberately setting a trap and leaving someone alone in the memorial.

Tread!

Step down the stairs,

His gaze immediately turned to that direction.

Luo Di sat on the edge of the coffin, where the Girl being dragged by Hell Torture Device had also awakened.

Luo Di didn't care about the Girl or the others; instead, he kept his head down or looked down at something.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye,

Mr. Question Mark had already arrived behind him, and his palm landed on the other's shoulder the moment they made contact. The instant the contact was made, an invisible field began to "Question Mark Decryption" all the information about him.

but,

Luo Di had nothing in his hands.

The reason he kept his head down was because he was in a semi-comatose state and had not yet been able to break free from it. It was only after this shoulder was touched that he slowly came to his senses.

"Mr. Question Mark! What are you doing here?"

"As long as the game exists, I will exist."

You and Li Beite are playing such a great game, and you're even taking the opportunity to complete the final battle that you couldn't have last time. How could I not come?

I never expected that you would be able to access such a Literary Derivative that touches on the Corner Origin. You are really lucky.

Luo Di, it seems you've gotten something really good.

"Yes."

Can I take a look?

"Can."

A strange-smelling Iron Maiden container appeared in his hand. As the container was opened... hiss~ steam escaped, and the "Blood Bible" was inside.

"Not bad! This is an important item related to hemophobia, and it's also a learnable item, so it's extremely valuable... Anything else? For example, did you get anything good in the final stage?"

"I lost to Li Beite, the body does not belong to me."

"Oh? Is that so..."

Just as Mr. Question Mark was about to ask more questions, a figure suddenly pounced over and interrupted their conversation.

Mia, with her light blonde girl, pounced into Luo Di's arms with a mischievous grin.

"Aha~ We are indeed enemies, but I don't think I've ever killed your parents. This is just our first meeting. I was invited here by Uncle Jock to play."

You won't blame me for this, will you, Luo Di?

"Great, we've all survived! Now let's get to know each other better and discuss the topic of the serial killer."

Just as Mia was about to press her head against Luo Di's neck, she suddenly smelled two completely different, yet very dangerous, scents.

One of them, Hua Yuan, who had already regained consciousness from within that Coffin Room.

Wu Wen, who was sitting in a chair not far away, turned her head.

A strange antagonistic relationship was formed instantly.

Mr. Question Mark wasn't angry that the conversation was interrupted.

He did not leave then.

Instead, he planned to touch the back of Luo Di's head further, and by simply placing his fingers on it, he could obtain detailed information about his memories.

Just as his fingers slowly approached,

The X-ray vision inside the sack suddenly noticed something: something hanging around Luo Di's neck—a withered, shriveled woman's arm.

The arm seemed to tremble slightly as he approached, as if it wanted to grab him.

Seeing this,

Mr. Question Mark gave up his plan to touch it. Although he was very curious, he had already achieved the purpose of his trip and had seen the most wonderful performance.

"I'm leaving now. You guys did a great job, especially you and Li Beite. You deserve to be this year's double champions."

The remaining the Hateful Eight are welcome to participate in the "True Death Game" anytime they are interested.

With Mr. Question Mark completely gone, Luo Di finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to Hua Yuan inside the coffin.

The two of them extended their palms at the same time and pressed them together.

A scorching hot object was transferred from Hua Yuan's body back to Luo Di's hand.

"That was fucking dangerous, Luo Di!"

Fortunately, I already have an abyss within me, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from such an important person... It seems that Mr. Question Mark has placed Special Mark on you and Li Beite, otherwise it would be very difficult to find this place.

Be careful from now on; there's a reason why humans call us monsters.

"Um."

The moment Luo Di woke up, he sensed something was wrong, as if he was being watched from behind. He decisively passed what he had obtained through the coffin to Hua Yuan for temporary safekeeping.

The communication between the two ended.

Luo Di also stood up to observe the overall situation of the basement.

Only one of the "The Hateful Eight" died; the rest all survived.

It must be said that the Joker is indeed very capable; the eight moviegoers he found were of extremely high quality and successfully passed the test.

Clown Jock has left as the recipient of the final reward, but two of the "The Hateful Eight" remain here.

One of them was Mia, whom I already knew.

One of them was chef Hunter, who left early after fulfilling an unusual request.

The middle-aged man in the trench coat gave Luo Di a very dangerous feeling.

If we're talking about ranking by strength,

This middle-aged man was probably stronger than Mia and Douglas. Since escaping the incident, he had been sitting motionless in his chair, seemingly undergoing a special "internal reaction".

Luo Di took the initiative to step forward and greet him, "Hello, haven't we met somewhere before?"

When approached by someone,

The middle-aged man turned around, and Luo Di saw a rather bizarre scene.

The middle-aged man's trench coat didn't completely cover him; his body bulged out in front of him, and through the gaps, one could see a family of four crammed inside, including a Little boy that Luo Di had seen before.

The space around the man trembled slightly from the friction of his teeth, and Luo Di even felt teeth marks on his clothes and skin.

"I've met him... Jock once invited me to target you and your friends."

That human named Yu Ze is one of the most unique ingredients I've ever seen.

Luo Di immediately recalled the dangerous situation at the time, and instantly, murderous intent arose within him.

Sensing murderous intent,

Wu Wen, Hua Yuan, and Li Beite, who was standing in the stairwell, all looked over.

"Are they dead?" Luo Di asked coldly.

"I told you, Yu Ze is special, and I will definitely capture this special ingredient next time. Alright, now that the matter is over, I'll leave."

As the middle-aged man stood up, he let out an enormous burp.

As he stepped onto the stairs to leave...

From the top of the stairs, Li Beite asked, "Should we kill him, Luo Di?"

"Not for now."

"Okay, I'm so hungry right now, I don't feel like doing anything, I need to hurry to the supermarket to buy some meat."

"Okay, let's head out too."

The reason why Luo Di didn't make a move was simple: he was currently protected by the wall, and a large-scale battle here might attract unnecessary attention.

His most important task now is to secure a chance to be completely alone.
