Deities Are All Just My Food

Chapter 2552: Chapter 1156: The "Cursed" Blade Woman

Sizzle!

Some hot, wet blood splattered onto Liu Yu’s face with the night wind.

He instinctively wiped it off, feeling a sticky sensation on his hand, and was immediately shocked as he backed away from Yu Shizhong.

Yu Shizhong’s face was expressionless, because he didn’t even know he was dead.

His head, like a ripe persimmon, rolled off his neck.

Bang!

The head fell to the ground and rolled a few circles, leaving a trail of blood.

"The fierce ghost is here?"

Liu Yu felt a chill throughout his body.

What kind of cursed luck is this?

As soon as Lin Baici left, this thing showed up?

It was too fast, wasn’t it?

How is anyone supposed to survive like this?

Liu Yu had seen Lin Baici calmly and effortlessly deal with fierce ghosts, and thought he could do the same, but when facing the fierce ghost alone, he realized that the mental pressure was overwhelming.

His heart raced, his hands and feet trembled, his mind was in chaos, and he couldn’t calm down at all.

It was only then that Liu Yu understood the weight Lin Baici bore at the forefront.

Not just anyone can be the leader!

Courage, capability, charisma...

None of these can be lacking!

Since Liu Yu was the closest to Yu Shizhong, he was the first to discover his death, and thus the first to run.

He needed to find Lin Baici.

Yu Shizhong’s head fell suddenly without warning, but because Liu Yu had advocated for staying behind, everyone was watching him.

So when Liu Yu started to run and others were puzzled, they saw Yu Shizhong’s head rolling off.

The crowd exploded instantly.

The tourists began to flee in panic.

The smart ones knew to seek out Lin Baici, while the foolish ones ran blindly with only one thought in mind: to get out of this haunted place quickly.

"Thrilling game, one-two-three wooden man begins, anyone who moves dies!"

A hoarse voice with a hint of laughter resounded, accompanied by several bursts of firecrackers to set the mood.

Some people heard and quickly stopped in their tracks, while others, who either didn’t hear clearly or were eager to escape, were unfortunate.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Every five seconds, one unfortunate runner would have blood suddenly spray from their neck, and then their head would fall off.

By the time the fourth person died, no one dared to run anymore.

Twenty seconds, for ordinary people, wasn’t far enough to escape.

The furthest runner, a young man, made it nearly a hundred meters before his head was chopped off in front of everyone.

Some tourists wanted to beg the fierce ghost for mercy but dared not speak, fearing they’d be the first to die.

"See that utility pole ahead? When the fireworks sound again, you can run, but you must stop when the next firecracker sounds or you’ll be eliminated!"

"There are seven rounds in the game. Survive to the end, and you’ll be free!"

"Each round, the person who falls last will be killed!"

"If you touch the utility pole, congratulations, you pass early!"

The fierce ghost explained the rules of the game.

"Doesn’t sound hard!"

Liu Yu licked his lips; no matter what, he had to try to touch the utility pole.

"Oh, yes, let me introduce myself. I am the Honest Ghost, and I will be the judge for this game!"

"Honest Ghost?"

Liu Yu frowned. Why choose such a name?

But Liu Yu didn’t have time to think about it as the fireworks sounded.

If Lin Baici had encountered this Honest Ghost, then he already realized the ghost was lying!

This in itself was a rule breach; how could there be another game?

So this fierce ghost was most likely toying with them. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

The game was a sham, just something the Honest Ghost made up.

...

Lin Baici didn’t take the main road but led everyone through alleys, weaving through the narrow lanes.

"Stop looking!"

Fang Mingyuan noticed Xu Daguan constantly looking back and advised, "Even if they want to follow, Old White’s route is so convoluted, they’d lose us!"

"Old White, are you mad and trying to ditch them?"

Xu Daguan felt uneasy.

With so few people, wouldn’t that mean the next time sacrifices were needed, it would be him?

"Enough with the chatter, save your strength for the journey!"

Lin Baici urged, "Everyone, faster!"

"Faster?"

Xu Daguan felt overwhelmed.

He’d always avoided the school’s thousand-meter run when possible.

The girls, even more exhausted and gasping for breath, would have started complaining if it were anyone but Lin Baici giving the orders.

To be honest, Lin Baici still commanded respect, and the girls were willing to trust him.

"The longer we delay on the road, the greater the chance the fierce ghosts find us, so we must reach the Mendanda Hotel as quickly as possible!"

Lin Baici explained, "That’s the Ghost King’s territory, and other small ghosts likely won’t dare operate there. Once we get nearby, we should be safe!"

With Lin Baici’s explanation, everyone saw the sense in it.

"Old... Old White, how are you like an ox?"

Qian Jiahui’s only exercise was rolling in bed with girls, leaving him desperately weak.

After running a few hundred meters, he staggered, face pale, showing signs of sudden collapse.

"Old White is a God Hunter; his physique rivals that of Superman!"

Fang Mingyuan teased, "They boast about multiple rounds per night, but Lin Baici really can go from night till the next evening!"

"Genuinely envious!"

Xu Daguan gazed at Lin Baici with longing, "Old White, can I become a God Hunter?"

"At least, can’t I strengthen my body a bit?"

Everyone looked at Lin Baici, all wishing for a healthy body.

"If you find a Meteorite, you can!"

Lin Baici offered a carrot of motivation, "Jiahui, your kidneys won’t benefit from any herbal or Western medicine, but a Meteorite can help!"

"Really?"

Qian Jiahui’s eyes gleamed, "Are Meteorites rare?"

"Do you need to ask?"

Fang Mingyuan sighed, "You can’t buy them no matter how much money you have!"

"Old White, from now on, you’re my dad!"

Xu Daguan directly acknowledged him as his father.

If it weren’t for the situation, he truly would have bowed to Lin Baici.

"Here come the ghosts!"

Lin Baici hadn’t activated Passing Ears Recitation, but his hearing was enough to catch the nearby movements.

"Huh?"

"Where?"

"What the hell!"

Everyone was startled.

"Don’t panic, keep running!"

Lin Baici instructed, "When the ghosts come, I’ll handle them, just charge ahead!"

Soon, a moving shadow appeared atop the residential building on the left, darting like a hidden ibex, leaping swiftly, surpassing everyone, and landing at the alley’s mouth, blocking their path.

"What is that thing?"

Xu Daguan was terrified.

It was a female ghost, wearing an iron mask, dressed in a tight ballet outfit. Her limbs from the elbows and knees down were all cut off, replaced with long sharp blades.

The horrifying appearance induced a visceral discomfort.

Instinctively, everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Keep charging!"

With that, Lin Baici accelerated, roaring like a full-speed battleship, crashing toward the Ghost Blade Woman!
