Her face twisted with rage, Old Lady Zhao threw a Spirit Coin onto the ground.
At the same time, she made sure to envelop the entire Carousel in her ghostly aura.
With that, no one outside could see what was happening within.
Meanwhile, overcome with terror, Wu Fan lay on the ground and began convulsing uncontrollably.
But because he had failed to respond in time, he had violated his job rules!
[When a guest asks you to accompany them on a ride, you, as the Carousel attendant, must agree! Otherwise, you will face severe punishment from an evil spirit!]
"You little shit! I told you to ride with me! Didn't you hear me?!"
Old Lady Zhao let out a piercing shriek, opening her gaping maw to reveal a mouthful of sharp fangs!
Ghostly energy continued pouring from her body.
Within moments, the entire area had become pitch-black.
The bone-chilling sinister energy even froze a thin layer of frost across the ground!
Then Old Lady Zhao thrust her withered hand downward.
Her long, sharp nails pierced Wu Fan's shoulder in an instant, and she violently hauled him up!
The intense pain made the convulsing Wu Fan let out an agonized scream.
His dangling body struggled desperately.
His feet kicked wildly in the air, trying to break free of her claws.
But how could an ordinary human like him escape the grasp of a vengeful ghost?
Brimming with murderous intent, Old Lady Zhao sank her teeth into the right side of Wu Fan's face, then yanked hard!
Riiip!
Half the skin on Wu Fan's face was torn clean off!
Blood immediately poured out in an unstoppable stream!
The excruciating pain made him howl like a pig being slaughtered!
Even as she watched Wu Fan suffer, Old Lady Zhao's expression remained utterly dark. Clearly, this had not been enough to appease her anger!
She chewed the half-face of skin a few times, then swallowed it!
"Come on! Ride with me!"
Old Lady Zhao's voice was shrill as she took out another Spirit Coin and tossed it onto the ground.
By now, however, Wu Fan had already passed out several times from the pain.
The terror in his heart had reached its limit!
All he wanted now was for Old Lady Zhao to show mercy and let him go.
Unfortunately, Old Lady Zhao had already decided to kill him!
To slowly torture Wu Fan while staying within the rules, she came up with a solution.
She raised her hand and scattered all ten thousand Spirit Coins from her pocket!
"We'll ride as many times as this money pays for!"
"Refuse once, and I'll take a bite out of you!"
"Your limbs first, then your body!"
"Once you're nothing but a skeleton, I'll swallow your brains in one mouthful!"
The more Old Lady Zhao spoke, the angrier she became. She simply bared her fangs again and bit down hard on the fingers of Wu Fan's right hand!
With a little pressure, she bit off all five fingers!
Then she crunched them in her mouth as though she were eating a carrot!
Every finger was acutely sensitive. With all five bitten off, Wu Fan kept screaming through his hoarse throat.
If he had still held out hope a moment ago that Old Lady Zhao might spare his life, that hope was gone.
Now, all he wanted was a quick death!
The torment and pain were simply unbearable!
But Old Lady Zhao had already spent her money. How could she possibly let him off so easily?
Each time she told him to "ride with her," Old Lady Zhao bit another chunk of flesh off Wu Fan!
After just one minute, not a scrap of flesh remained on Wu Fan's limbs. Only bare white bones were left!
Another minute passed, and apart from his head, no flesh remained anywhere on Wu Fan's body!
Even his internal organs were gone!
At last, Wu Fan was finally free.
Although his expression was twisted with agony when he died, he had never felt happier than he did in that final moment.
A timid man like him probably could never have imagined, even at death's door, that this would happen.
That one day, he would long so desperately for death to come!
Covered in blood, Old Lady Zhao looked at the corpse in her hand and snorted.
Then she hurled it toward the Carousel as though throwing away garbage.
"Here's your reward!"
As the corpse hit the ground, the Lesser Evil Spirits nearby, already ravenous, swarmed over it!
In mere moments, not even a bone fragment remained of Wu Fan's corpse!
Old Lady Zhao nodded in satisfaction. Most of her anger had finally dissipated.
Her hideously contorted face gradually returned to that of an ordinary evil spirit.
All her fangs vanished, leaving just a few teeth in her mouth again.
"Fetch me a basin of water. I need to clean myself up."
Old Lady Zhao frowned slightly at the blood covering her body as she gave the order.
Normally, she would never have bothered with such a fuss.
After devouring someone completely, she would simply walk away.
But Tang Xiaoling was still outside, and she did not want to leave her little granddaughter with a frightening impression before she left.
Soon, several Lesser Evil Spirits brought her a basin of clean water.
Old Lady Zhao picked up a towel and began cleaning herself.
Meanwhile.
Standing outside, Tang Xiaoling looked at the Carousel shrouded in black energy, her heart filled with worry.
Although that dark figure had moved incredibly fast, she had clearly seen that it was Old Lady Zhao!
She was terrified that Wu Fan would bully her elderly granny...
Just then, the commotion grew so loud that the other players, including Li Zhuang, came running over.
"What's going on? What happened?!"
A female player named Chen Jia asked, looking frightened and uncertain.
Dressed as a cleaner, Li Zhuang gave her an irritated look and said in a low voice:
"Are you blind? Can't you look for yourself?"
As he spoke, he raised the broom in his hand and pointed at the Carousel veiled in black energy.
But the sight of Li Zhuang's vicious expression made Chen Jia's heart tremble.
She felt that this man was even more terrifying than an evil spirit. Not daring to investigate what had happened, she turned to leave.
Just then, a notification appeared in every player's mind simultaneously.
[Player Wu Fan has died after being punished by an evil spirit for violating the rules!] [Notice: All players, take this as a warning. You must obey the rules!]
The notification in their minds made every player's heart shudder.
They had been here less than an hour, and someone was already dead!
Over the next three days, who knew how many of the eight remaining players would survive...
Or would they all be wiped out, without a single survivor?!
"Huh? Isn't that... the little toddler?"
Wu Qian, who had just rushed over after hearing the news, spotted Tang Xiaoling at once.
She hesitated because the child was covered in blood and looked just like an evil spirit.
Had she not seen Little Yellow Cat cradled in the child's arms, she really would not have dared recognize her.
"That little toddler's still alive?"
Li Zhuang gave a cold smile and, prompted by Wu Qian, noticed Tang Xiaoling as well.
But he was in no mood to bother with her now. He only wanted to see which evil spirit had killed someone.
That way, he could be doubly careful if he encountered that spirit later.
Wu Qian's eyes shifted, however, and she walked over, swaying her hips.
She very much wanted to see whether the toddler, looking so pitiful, had lost an arm or an ear.
After all, this was the only joy she had in the instance!
