Live Stream Room:
[An animal with human eyes on its face, how eerie!]
Ancient folk tales mention stories of turning humans into animals.
Yes, people were treated like sheep, dogs, cats, and even pigs. Those who were victimized had their limbs cut off and stuffed into animal skins. Others were trafficked children raised like animals from a young age, just to attract attention and earn a few coins. How cruel!
What does this have to do with greed?
The thought that came to Su Jin's mind was also about the relationship between these "animals" and the escape room theme.
Based on the experience in the "Gluttony" chamber, Kakaya's divinity is hidden in the source of evil within the chamber.
And this source of evil is often the place that best represents the theme of the escape room.
Since Su Jin didn't see the middle-aged woman and Xiao Qinian, she started to observe the animals in the cages one by one, trying to see if Dai Qiu was inside.
After looking around, she found a canary covered in jewelry but with its wings cut off. The precious gems had grown into the flesh under its feathers, like shackles.
The vicious dog kept tearing at the maggot-infested corpse under its paws, but no matter how it bit, the hideous corpse would regenerate. The maggots would gradually crawl up its teeth and onto its body, making it just as ugly as the corpse.
A monkey king, adorned with a crown and fawned over by the monkeys, had a listless and bored look in his eyes that told Su Jin that he was tired of the easy adoration he received, yet he couldn't shake it off.
A strong and healthy ram guards its flock, but a strange disease is among spreading the flock. The ram's mates and offspring are rotting and dying one by one, and it is powerless to do anything but watch helplessly.
The beautiful fox struck various graceful poses in front of the mirror, but its reflection was always flawed and never beautiful enough. It angrily scratched its face with its sharp claws, tearing it until it was covered in wounds, but it could never destroy the mirror that troubled it.
The once majestic tiger has grown old, and it is being chased by packs of its former prey; it is becoming increasingly unable to run...
After looking around at these strange animals, Su Jin couldn't tell which one resembled Dai Qiu.
She thought this was a good thing.
Because whatever these strange animals were before, they obviously can't go back to their original form.
Suddenly, a short man dressed as a clown walked towards her.
He grinned at her, his mouth covered in paint, a smile so enthusiastic and exaggerated it made her uncomfortable.
"Welcome to the Circus of Desire, ma'am. Which show would you like to see?"
Su Jin looked at the clown who had suddenly appeared and thought to herself that the truth circulating in the foreign horror world was indeed true:
Where there are clowns, bad things happen.
After the circus scene appeared before her eyes, Kakaya's voice never appeared again. That guy was the master here, and of course he wanted her to get lost here so that he could take back his godhood. He would never give her any hints.
Su Jin wasn't foolish enough to expect a malevolent evil god to help her. She said to the clown:
"I'm looking for my friends, can you help me find them?"
She deliberately didn't mention the number of her friends, just to take a gamble.
What if the clown was taking her to find a friend named Daisy?
⑧BOOK.com
But the clown didn't fall for it.
A cruel glint flashed in his overly dark eyes, and his grin widened.
"The Desire Circus currently only has you as its audience member. The friend you mentioned must be the beloved animal performer, right? Then please choose its performance. After you pay the fee, you will be able to see it."
Su Jin gave a cold laugh; she knew the clown was lying.
Xiao Qinian is a mysterious and unassuming person, while the middle-aged woman possesses a special ability to bring misfortune to evil spirits. They have only been here for a short time, and even if they were to be affected and turned into animals, it wouldn't happen so quickly. There's no way she's the only spectator here.
The clown's lies conveyed two messages to her.
Firstly, this secret room contains different spaces, which perfectly separates her from Xiao Qinian and the others;
Secondly, there's this clown whose body is covered in color but you can't see the red. To be precise, it should be called "it".
It can lie, so it must not be the white-clad NPC; she cannot believe its words.
The clown seemed to be getting a little impatient. It reached out and patted its belly, and the originally brightly colored clown costume opened its mouth, spitting out a piece of colored paper covered in sticky saliva.
He picked it up with his left hand and handed it to Su Jin with a smile:
"This is our circus's program list. Please choose one as soon as possible."
Su Jin frowned. "Wipe your drool off."
The clown was stunned; it was the first time it had ever encountered such an arrogant guest.
Su Jin looked at it and sneered, "Didn't your boss tell you that you have to serve a respected guest to the best of your ability so you won't get beaten up?"
The clown paused for a moment, then laughed even more exaggeratedly:
"You, a human being, dare to spout nonsense in the circus of desire..."
Before it could finish speaking, Su Jin grabbed it by the back of the neck.
"I am the great clown, you have offended me!"
The clown roared angrily, a strange, large mouth growing from the back of its head, fiercely trying to bite off Su Jin's hand. However, Su Jin punched it with her left hand, knocking out several of its teeth.
The mouth was grimacing in pain, yet it still tried to bite Su Jin, only to have Su Jin knock out the remaining teeth.
"A peculiar ugly thing, with a terrible temper, and it even dares to bite people."
Su Jin chuckled, threw the clown directly into an empty cage, and then began to strip it of its clown costume.
"Waaaaah!"
The clown, whose teeth had been knocked out, desperately tried to protect his clothes, but Su Jin stripped him naked in no time.
Seeing Su Jin step on the fallen program booklet and raise her hand to close the cage door, the cat's eyes welled up with tears, all the previous malice and hostility gone. It cried and begged for mercy, its words incoherent:
"I know where your friend is, I'll take you to find her!"

Su Jin slammed the cage shut with a bang. "Too late."
She had just given the clown a chance, but he refused to speak up.
She adheres to the principle of never reasoning with evil beings that refuse to cooperate, and she always suppresses them without mercy.
"Without me, you'll never find them, not even in your lifetime!"
The clown gripped the cage bars with both hands, his large, eerie eyes staring fiercely at her. "They chose the wrong show; they'll soon become circus animals! If you don't let me out now, it'll be too late."
Upon hearing this, Su Jin shifted her gaze from the program and scrutinized the clown in the cage.
She initially thought it was some kind of monster, but after removing the clown costume imbued with the power of an evil god, the naked clown had skin no different from that of an ordinary human.
The cage it was kept in was very small, and it could only squat inside, looking like a hairless monkey.
The more Su Jin looked at it, the more it seemed to resemble an animal.
And she was quite certain that this was not her imagination.
Rather, the cage itself possesses such power that it can slowly turn all those imprisoned inside into animals.
Su Jin's emotionless gaze instilled fear in the clown.
Its previous threatening tone had dwindled, and it suddenly changed its voice, feigning pitifulness and begging for mercy, "I'm a player who failed the challenge, just like you, a human! Please let me go, I was just forced to follow the escape room's rules..."
It could tell from Su Jin's indifferent expression that playing the victim was ineffective, so it changed its strategy halfway through its sentence, "I know a lot about this secret room. I can not only help you find your friends, but also tell you where the token for passing the level is hidden! Let me out, and I will tell you everything."
Upon hearing this, Su Jin gently curled the corners of her lips.
Her smile was beautiful, yet it made the clown tremble slightly.
This woman gave it a very strange feeling.
Aside from the immense power she had just displayed, even the coldness in her eyes made her seem completely different from ordinary humans.
It was afraid of her, just as it was afraid of the scariest guy in the circus...
I don't care who you were before, I only care about who you are now.
"A red-clad NPC, your only condition for survival is to harm human players. How could I possibly trust you?"
Su Jin spoke coldly, stepping on its clown costume. Countless large mouths sprouted from it, trying to devour her foot, but they all screamed and turned to ashes when they touched her.
As these mouths disappeared one by one, the intense colors on the clown costume faded, revealing human skin stained with blood.
Just as Su Jin had guessed, this so-called clown costume was just a layer of human skin.
The clown, dressed in such "clothes," is by no means innocent.
This skin might even have been peeled off of its former companion while it was still alive.
"From the moment you chose to become a follower of an evil god, there was no turning back."
Su Jin leaned down, gazing closely at the clown's face, a mixture of panic, rage, fear, hatred, and unease, yet visibly sprouting animal fur and gradually losing its human form. She chuckled softly:
"Let me tell you something else: evil gods are the most vengeful creatures. If you dare to be disloyal to them, they will definitely retaliate against you in the most cruel way."
As she finished speaking, the clown transformed into an ugly jackal.
The ground beneath it, however, had become the bottom of a pot of boiling oil.
The jackal's body was scalded by hot oil, and it let out a pitiful howl, desperately leaping upwards in an attempt to escape this unbearable pain.
But a giant hand reached out from the top of the cage, pinning it firmly in the oil fryer, rendering it unable to move.
Its fur was roasted to a crisp, and it was so mangled that it could no longer scream.
But then new fur grows on its body, and it is burned again, and so the cycle repeats, enduring cruel punishment that never ends.
Kakaya's teasing voice slowly rose, his tone filled with the smugness of someone who had pulled off a prank:
"Hehe, this is what happens when you betray this goddess!"

Live Stream Room:
Isn't Su Jin being a bit too cruel? This clown already promised to help her find the person, so why did she still lock it in a cage?
[Yeah, the Joker was human before, he shouldn't be this cruel.]
[Didn't the person upstairs watch the previous live stream? It was this clown who attacked Sister Su first. And the clown has already become an evil entity; it no longer has human emotions and only wants to kill players. Sister Su's actions are perfectly justified.]
[Does becoming an evil being mean enduring this endless torment? I wouldn't say anything if Su Jin just killed it, but what's the difference between her doing this and an evil god who takes pleasure in tormenting living beings?]
Su Jin was unaware that a large number of IDs with the same location suddenly appeared in the live stream, all unanimously accusing her of being cruel and vicious.
She looked at the clown in the cage and whispered to Kakaya, "How about we make a deal?"
Kakaa was surprised. "You're finally interested in becoming my follower? With your abilities, as long as you're willing to support me, I can appoint you as a bishop."
Su Jin said indifferently:
"I will never be your follower, but I can promise you that when I collect all seven divine essences and leave the instance, I will not destroy them directly with the holy fire."
Kakaya was stunned for a moment, then screamed in fury:
"You ignorant human are even more arrogant than us evil gods! You only have three divine sparks now, what makes you think you can definitely collect all seven and get out of the dungeon?"
Su Jin sneered, "Just because I believe I can do it. If you don't believe I have the ability, then there's no need to talk to me."
Kakaa weighed the matter in its mind for a while, and then it had to admit a fact: it actually believed that Su Jin really had this ability.
So it reluctantly asked, "What do you want?"
Su Jin replied decisively, "You only need to answer three questions for me."
Kakaya sneered, "You're probably wondering where the rest of the divine essence is hidden and how to get it. If I tell you everything, the game is over."
"The question I asked will not be directly related to your divinity."
Kakaya was silent for a moment, then his voice betrayed a hint of gritted teeth:
"Then ask away. But I can only answer what I know."
"Don't worry, I'm only asking about things you already know."
Su Jin pointed to the jackal in the cage, "I know that all the animals in this circus became animals because of their desires when they were human. The first question is, what were their desires?"
Kakaya found the question rather boring and said lazily:
"Didn't you already guess?"
Its desire is to survive by taking the lives of its own kind. You also saw that the clown costume is actually just human skin; I didn't make it.
It guessed that its skin would be contaminated after watching the performance, and fearing the growth of animal fur, it deceived its trusting teammates and voluntarily peeled off the unfortunate creature's skin to cover itself.
At this point, Kakaya let out a sharp, wicked laugh, as clear as silver bells:
"It thought that this would prevent it from being contaminated, but it didn't know that in the circus of desire, the evil in human nature is the key to triggering contamination!"
Later, in order to survive, it knelt down and begged to become my follower. I agreed to make the game more fun, but I never told it that wearing someone else's skin could not avoid pollution.
In order to avoid being corrupted and completely reduced to a mindless puppet, it then deceived and harmed many players by posing as a circus clown. Each of them was skinned alive by it, and then the skinless people were locked in cages.
Every so often, it changes into a new human skin.
The mouths you see on the clown costume are the resentment left behind by those who were harmed by it.
It uses the power of the evil god I bestowed upon it to control their resentment, and then uses it to harm new victims.
Until this day, it shed its human skin and became an animal in a cage.
The punishment I gave it was to make it lose its own skin as well.
"Don't you think my design is brilliant?"

Su Jin was very satisfied with Kakaya's outrageous answer.
In order to show off its manipulative skills, it revealed a lot of information.
For example, it defines greed as humans committing evil deeds to satisfy their desires, and once humans do this, they are immediately corrupted.
For example, the sixth sense she gained by devouring high-level evil creatures proved effective. From the first moment she saw this clown, she knew that it was definitely the type that would actively commit evil and must have taken lives on its hands.
Third, players who fail to complete the challenge will become animals in cages, and the different forms and situations they exhibit are all related to their deepest desires.
The viewers in the live stream focused on the clown after hearing Kakaya's words, and many fans and casual viewers sent messages in support of Su Jin.
Sister Su would never abuse her power to take lives lightly. If she were truly as wicked as you all say, she wouldn't have warned Dai Qiu and Zhou Ya when she first entered this instance, nor would she have asked Zhou Ya for her last words when her soul was about to dissipate, nor would she have rushed into the Greed Chamber to find the trapped Dai Qiu.
Yes, she always lends a helping hand to those she can. And she's never a saint when it comes to those who commit heinous crimes. She has the most positive values I've ever seen among livestreamers.
I love Sister Su's decisive and ruthless personality; she'll definitely be a top ten player on the leaderboard. Those who attacked her, just wait and see how Sister Su proves them wrong!
Even if the Joker really did skin someone else alive, she couldn't fight evil with evil.
Why can't our Sister Su do the same? If it weren't for Sister Su punishing the clown, what would happen to those who were harmed by it?
[What kind of skill is it for Sister Su to take her anger out on a clown? If she were really that powerful, she would have turned those animals back into humans!]
[Are you out of your mind? Don't you know that humans severely corrupted and mutated by evil gods can never turn back?]
[I'll just say this: those who sympathize with the Joker are themselves despicable Jokers.]
A loyal fan popped up again, silently gifting Su Jin several items worth tens of thousands of yuan, expressing his support for Su Jin with his financial power, which instantly shocked the entire live stream room.
Su Jin was unaware that she had already received nearly 100,000 yuan in tips during this live stream. She continued to ask Kakaya:
"The second question is, if I am just an ordinary player forced to follow the rules of a circus, what would I have to do after my inner desires are aroused to be locked in a cage and turned into an animal?"
She asked her questions skillfully, avoiding the possibility that Kakaya might try to fool her with words.
Kakaya paused for a moment, then said smugly:
"Suppose your desire is for immortality. After I have seen into your heart, I will change the content of the play you choose and use the performance to suggest and bewitch you that if you want to gain immortality, you must keep killing people."
The longer you live, the more people you kill and the more blood you suck.
Is it fair to use someone else's life to offset the passage of time on you?
When you believe the performance and begin to act according to the suggestions, and as you repeatedly commit evil deeds, your inner desires swell to the point of overwhelming all reason, you will obey my will and willingly walk into the cage.
Su Jin understood the basic operating mechanism of the Greed Chamber. She took out a tissue from her pocket, picked up the program that had fallen to the ground, wiped the drool off it, studied it carefully for a while, and then said to Kakaya:
"I want to see a show where rabbits eat people."
Kakaya stared at the program list, almost doubting his own eyes.
Although it is currently only a consciousness without real eyes, it is still certain that it did not misjudge.
⑻book.com
There was absolutely no rabbit-eating-man performance on there.
And has Su Jin forgotten something?
"Aren't you going to ask me the third question?" it asked suspiciously.
Su Jin curled her lips into a smile. "Let's save the third question for now. I'm now a distinguished guest of the Desire Circus, and I want to see a show where rabbits eat people. You'd better perform for me now, or I'll smash up your circus."
Kakaya was deeply shocked by her shameless behavior.
After a long while, it sneered, "Heh, you want to see rabbits eat people, huh? I'll show you!"
As soon as it finished speaking, an elevator appeared out of thin air in front of Su Jin.
She stood on it and was taken to the underground performance venue by the elevator.
She ran into an acquaintance in the audience.
The middle-aged woman was sitting in the first row. When Su Jin walked over, she saw her propping her head up and trying hard to open her eyes, but her head was still dozing off little by little.
Seeing Su Jin, she finally perked up:
"Just as I stepped out of the darkness, a show menu was blown in my face. I had a feeling that anything that came to me in the dungeon was not good. But apart from this show menu, I had nothing else around me. After waiting for a while, I thought I might as well just choose a show, otherwise it would be a waste of time."
She yawned and looked around, somewhat helplessly. "I've been sitting here for a while now, but I still haven't seen any actors come on stage. I'm almost falling asleep waiting."
Su Jin heard that there were no clowns or cages where her aunt had originally been, and she felt targeted. She used her consciousness to ask Kakaya:
Why is she different from me?
Kakaya said sarcastically, "Because you are a distinguished guest, as the owner of the Desire Circus, I am giving you VIP treatment."
Su Jin smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, but I won't need it next time."
The curtain on the stage was finally drawn back.
A group of white rabbits hopped onto the stage. Their limbs were very uncoordinated, looking crooked and awkward, as if their arms and legs were not their own, but rather assembled from parts.
Their eyes are all blood red, which perfectly matches Dai Qiu's description of "red-eyed rabbits".
Could it be that Dai Qiu has turned into an animal, and she's inside?
Su Jin stood up and looked at each of the rabbits one by one.
Suddenly, she froze.
She saw a very familiar rabbit, but it wasn't Daisy.
Moreover, this rabbit is so different from other rabbits.
The middle-aged woman next to me, unusually not sleepy, exclaimed in surprise:
"That handsome guy with rabbit ear headbands, bare chest, eight-pack abs, and V-line looks like Teacher Xiao."
⑻вОоК． com

Su Jin's expression was strange. She stared wide-eyed at the male rabbit on the stage that looked exactly like Xiao Qinian.
Or rather, a bunny boy?
Live Stream Room:
[Why is Sister Su making that face? Did she see something delicious?]
Look at that rabbit on the stage! Isn't that Teacher Xiao?!
[Confirmed, it's definitely Teacher Xiao. But I really didn't expect that someone who looks so refined and abstinent when clothed would have such a great physique when naked.]
If I could touch Ms. Xiao's abs, I can't imagine how cute and lively I would become.
I...I want to eat rabbit.
[The bunny is so cute, none of you are allowed to eat it, I'll eat it all by myself!]
I feel like all the female fans in the live stream have gone crazy.
[Upstairs, you're wrong. I'm a male fan of Teacher Xiao, and I also want to eat rabbit.]
Su Jin couldn't see how unrestrained the live stream was.
But when she heard a very familiar DJ song playing, and those strange rabbits on stage surrounded the bunny boy as backup dancers, starting to dance the driving test, a wild horse was running rampant in her heart.
The bunny boy's dance moves are exquisite and skillful; if the dance movements are slightly larger, his pectoral muscles will tremble.
With each tremor, Su Jin's heart trembled as well.
The middle-aged woman next to her had already covered her eyes, muttering:
"Sigh, Auntie is a decent person, she really can't stand this."
But Su Jin could clearly see that she was peeking through her open fingers with great interest, without even blinking.
Is this what they call "saying one thing but doing another"?
Kakaa asked Su Jin smugly, "So, was the Desire Circus show good?"
Su Jin swallowed silently, and said with unwavering determination:
"Do you think you can fool me with such low-level tricks? I will never yield to you!"
Kakaya: "???"
It was just a casual question, why are some people so agitated?
It sounds like they're trying to hide something obvious.
It snorted coldly, "This is just a warm-up. The rabbit eating people you wanted will soon be on stage."
As it spoke, its previously disgruntled voice suddenly became incredibly sweet:
I hope you like it.
As its voice faded, the originally hot and dynamic DJ dance music gradually changed its tune, with a hoarse and eerie electrical sound added, and a combination of dissonant sounds added to the melody, making it sound very strange.
You can also faintly hear a woman's voice mixed in with the accommodation; she's singing while laughing:
"Red-eyed rabbit, red-eyed rabbit"
Gouge out your eyes and use them as lanterns.
Red-eyed rabbit, red-eyed rabbit
They'll bite off your head and gnaw on it with gusto.
Humans, please stay put!
The red-eyed bunny is coming.
He kept calling them greedy devils.
Be careful, it might eat you!
The woman's voice started as a whisper, but as the music grew increasingly ominous, her voice grew louder and louder.
In the end, she finished singing the song with a maniacal laugh.
The music stopped abruptly.
The rabbits, which had been motionless like puppets with their strings cut, suddenly started moving again.
Their eyes were so red they looked like they were dripping blood. They formed a circle as if they were about to perform some mysterious ritual, keeping the bunny boy inside.
Then, paw to paw, they began to move step by step to the left, circling around the bunny boy.
A group of rabbits circling around a person—the scene looks incredibly eerie.
But no matter how much Su Jin winked and gestured at the bunny boy, he didn't respond at all.
The middle-aged woman lowered her hand, her expression unusually grave. "Young lady, do you think Teacher Xiao is possessed, or is the person on stage not him?"
8bOok. som
Su Jin used her ability to detect evil energy, but the bunny boy didn't have any evil energy at all.
She was certain he was neither an evil being nor an illusion, but a living person.
"It's definitely him."
She answered the aunt's question simply, without explaining anything, and immediately began to manipulate Xiao Qinian's soul on the stage, forcing him to wake up.
But before her power could reach Xiao Qinian, it vanished instantly.
Kakaa rarely saw her get the short end of the stick, and said smugly:
"Even though my power has declined, I am still an evil god, the greatest ruler of the world. And this Chamber of Greed is my proudest creation here, and its difficulty surpasses that of the other six."
Su Jin immediately realized that Kakaya had deliberately let her hear Dai Qiu's voice to lure her into entering the secret room first to search for the fragments of divinity.
It wants to kill her here, or trap her forever.
Unfortunately, she was never a weakling who could be manipulated by others.
Su Jin silently curled the corners of her lips, her mind racing.
Although Kakya was also one of the ancient evil gods, most of its power dissipated when its true form was destroyed and its divine status shattered by its own kind.
It has been hiding in the dungeon world for so long, surviving on its last breath and absorbing so many human souls, yet it has not yet recovered even a tenth of its former power.
Even now, it is so weak that it cannot even repair the seven divine pieces together.
In order to construct the seven secret chambers representing the evil of human nature, the seven divine pieces must be used as the foundation of evil power.
Otherwise, given Kakaya's mischievous and restless nature, he would have long since broken free of the system's constraints to seek out more "food" outside.
Therefore, Su Jin was certain that with its current power, it was completely unable to resist her mental manipulation, just like it had been in the Gluttony Chamber.
She believed her judgment was correct, so she deduced that it wasn't the stage that was blocking her, but rather the stage itself.
After waiting a while without Kakaya answering her question, she suddenly smiled:
"Don't forget you still owe me a third question."
If Kakaya had eyes, she would definitely roll her eyes at her right now.
"Although you're a petty and annoyingly scheming woman, this goddess is the most honest of all and never goes back on her word. So, what is your question?"
Su Jin did not expose it.
Although she knew very well that it didn't want to be honest at all, it was just that it was currently too weak to bear the consequences of the contract.
Even if the contract is only verbal and neither party has made a formal oath, it is the lowest level of contract.
In this regard, Su Jin had learned from the experience of her predecessors and already had her own insights:
Never make a deal with an evil god unless the evil god you're dealing with is just a useless little snack.
Kakaya urged her, "Hurry up and ask your question, or I'll let the rabbit actors continue performing."
Su Jin asked in a low voice, "What on this stage is suppressing my power?"
She didn't ask Kakaya if there was something on the stage that was restraining her power, but rather what that thing was.
Kakaya chuckled and said:
"It was the energy converter that the system gave me. I used it to build the circus stage and create my great masterpiece."
This stage not only shields me from all forces except myself, but it also absorbs your energy to inspire the actors, making these listless performers more energetic.
Now keep your eyes peeled, because the real show is about to begin!
Immediately afterwards, Su Jin saw the rabbit on the stage, as if it had inhaled a tonic, its eyes shining brightly red, and its mouth stretched wide to reveal a set of newly opened sharp teeth.
Its teeth were extremely sharp, comparable to those of a wild beast, something a normal rabbit should not have.
They stared fiercely at Xiao Qinian, who was surrounded, like hungry animals eyeing a piece of meat. Their pace slowed, and they chanted in unison:
"Red-eyed rabbits eat meat, but they don't eat grass."
Su Jin immediately thought of the nursery rhyme she had just heard.
Red-eyed rabbit, I'll gouge out your eyes to use as lanterns, and happily gnaw on your head.
Before she entered the Greed Chamber, she overheard Dai Qiu muttering nervously that the Red-Eyed Rabbit only gnaws on human heads and doesn't eat grass.
Once the rabbits have completely stopped, they will probably gouge out Xiao Qinian's eyes with their claws and bite off his head with their teeth.
She is temporarily unable to use her skills on the things on the stage and must find another way to stop them.
The middle-aged woman next to Su Jin originally wanted to use her skills to influence the red-eyed rabbit on stage, but after Su Jin reminded her, she pinched her thigh hard, stared wide-eyed at everything on the stage, and tried her best to use her wisdom to find a way to break the deadlock.
Suddenly she pointed to one of them and said urgently:
"Look, this red-eyed rabbit is different from the others; its eyes seem to be blind!"

Su Jin looked in the direction her aunt pointed and indeed saw a rabbit. Although its eyes were also red, they were very dull, and its gaze was also confused and empty.
She looked at it carefully for a moment and said in a low voice:
"Its eyeballs are fake; they must be disguised with glass beads."
The aunt was completely baffled:
"That creepy nursery rhyme mentioned eyes, but it was about a red-eyed rabbit stealing people's eyes, right? Why include a blind one in it? Is it hinting that it will be the one most eager to steal eyes later?"
The aunt's logic was simple: because the blind rabbit was missing an eye, it should be the most ferocious when the red-eyed rabbit stopped circling and started hunting, because of its urgent need to hunt.
But Su Jin and her aunt had different ideas.
She didn't think a blind rabbit could outcompete the normal rabbits around it.
Moreover, whether it's Dai Qiu's words, the nursery rhyme just now, or the image of these rabbits, they all keep emphasizing the words "red-eyed rabbit." No matter how you look at it, red eyes should be a very important symbol.
But the rabbit's red eyes are fake.
Su Jin was silent for a moment, then suddenly called out to the blind rabbit, "Dai Qiu!"
All the rabbits turned their furry faces and stared at her intently.
Only the blind rabbit was still looking ahead.
Or perhaps it's gone blind, unable to see anything, and unwilling to see anything at all.
"Dai Qiu, I know you still have self-awareness."
Su Jin said in a deep voice, "Believe me, as long as you still have self-awareness in the dungeon, you can still be saved."
The blind rabbit still didn't turn its head, standing blankly with the other rabbits, taking stiff, mechanical, slow steps.
Su Jin saw no emotion on its face, but she still insisted:
"Most importantly, you need to know who you are."
Her words seemed to trigger some key phrases, and all the rabbits began to shout in unison, their emotions running high:
"We are red-eyed rabbits, and we want to eat human flesh!"
Even the blind one was no exception.
The middle-aged woman covered her ears, but the rabbits' constant, repetitive sounds still seemed to penetrate her ears. Although they couldn't sway her mind, they made her uncomfortable.
Su Jin's unrestrained roar completely drowned out the rabbits' confessions:
"Daiqiu, you haven't grown red eyes yet. You're not a red-eyed rabbit; you're a human!"
Remember this: you are human, you don't eat human flesh!
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will try to awaken Dai Qiu's self-awareness.
Kakaya's seductive voice also rang out from the stage:
"You were born a red-eyed rabbit, happy and carefree. You can release your desires without limit, and the Desire Circus will always satisfy you."
My dear animal believers, quickly join your companions in devouring this human, absorbing his flesh and blood to grow your true red eyes!
With red eyes, everything you want will come true!
Su Jin's voice followed closely behind:
"It's lying to you! Stay rational, I know you can do it!"
If Dai Qiu's willpower were truly weak, she wouldn't have persisted until now without being completely alienated after being contaminated.
She kept repeating that she was a red-eyed rabbit and that red-eyed rabbits only eat human flesh, but in reality, it was Kakaya forcing her to brainwash herself.

If she truly believed these things from the bottom of her heart, Kakaya wouldn't have needed to brainwash her.
Live Stream Room:
[This female player named Su Jin is somewhat capable, but she's too soft-hearted. If it were me, I wouldn't care about my companion who's turned into a rabbit, or that sleazy Teacher Xiao; I would focus all my energy on finding the divine spark.]
[Does the person upstairs have some serious illness? Do you have Sister Su's abilities? Are you going to teach her how to do things?]
You female fans only know how to protect your idols. I believe male viewers would be just as rational as I am when it comes to this issue.
[I'm a guy too, and I wouldn't see a female player and immediately call her "womanly" or "soft-hearted." I think people who say that lack self-awareness.]
I am a female fan of Sister Su, but I think that people who make baseless accusations against others are the most irrational of all.
I'd like to ask that guy earlier, this stage is arguably the weirdest place in the entire dungeon, and it can even block player skills, so how do you know that the Divine Essence isn't hidden here?
To fully explore this stage, we must first find a way to crack the secrets of the play. At this time, Su Jin helps her teammate who has turned into a rabbit, which is helping herself. It is a win-win situation, so what's wrong with it?
I see your ID is also from Bai Shen. Don't forget, Bai Shen values teamwork above all else. Most of the top ten players on the leaderboard have their own established teams. Conversely, selfish people may seem clever, but they rarely go far in this game because no one can solve all the problems alone.
[Yes, Sister Su has been trying to figure out the mechanism of the secret room and find the source of evil ever since she entered. Now it seems the most likely place is this stage. Although Kakaya said it installed the energy converter given by the system here, it's also very possible that it hid the divine essence here to protect it.]
Are those Su Jin's dogs upstairs? They bark so much!
Su Jin couldn't see the comments about her in the live stream, and even if she did, those negative comments wouldn't affect her actions.
She trusts her judgment and, once she decides to do something, she never gives up until she achieves her goal.
"Dai Qiu, never forget everything about being human. Your family, your job, your dreams, your feelings. These constitute you, and they are far more important than the malicious desires amplified under the control of the evil god!"
You are not only a human being, not an animal; you are also a smart and brave person.
Facing the challenge of the dungeon for the first time, you were not afraid or panicked, and did your best to fight for your chance to survive as a human being.
Do you really want to become a monster and be trapped here forever?
Dai Qiu, answer me, are you content with this?
Su Jin's voice was heavy and loud, like a hammer pounding on the blind rabbit's eardrums.
It vaguely remembered some things.
These things made its polluted and distorted perceptions painful, but pain is a vibrant life force that reminded it that it is a human being, not an animal.
It's her, not it.
She was trembling all over, her white fur was falling off incessantly, and the rabbit face on her neck was gradually turning back into a human shape.
At the same time, all the rabbits stopped in their tracks.
Their red eyes shone like red lanterns hanging in mid-air, and they spoke in excited, frenzied tones:
"Good little human, the hunt begins!"
Just as the rabbits were about to pounce on Xiao Qinian, who was surrounded, Dai Qiu, who had regained consciousness, suddenly exerted force with both arms and grabbed the two adjacent rabbits tightly.
The red-eyed rabbits looked so fierce and crazy that she seemed unable to control them.
But these rabbits were linked together, like conjoined twins, and she actually managed to hold them back.
Those in the audience were too far away to see clearly, but Dai Qiu, standing among the rabbits, discovered after her prosthetic eyes returned to human eyes that the red-eyed rabbits' sharp claws had grown together because they were holding hands, and from then on they could only hold each other's hands and bite people with their mouths.
So she used this loophole to restrain the red-eyed rabbit, buying Su Jin time to rescue Xiao Qinian.
She shouted loudly to Su Jin below the stage:
"I can only hold on for one more minute at most, hurry!!!"

Su Jin rushed onto the stage without hesitation.
Kakaya kept screaming in her mind:
"This stage can absorb all your power. That's how I subdued Xiao Qinian. Do you want to become a puppet like him? Get off now!"
Ignoring the noise, Su Jin rushed towards the rabbits even faster.
Kakaya was still mocking her:
"Have you really fallen in love with him? How ridiculous! A strong woman like you would actually succumb to so-called love!"
Su Jin thought to herself, "You're the one who's given in to love."
Your entire evil god family has succeeded in love!
She was willing to risk her life, not just to save Xiao Qinian.
It was her proud judgment that told her the token of passage was hidden on this stage.
In addition to the pass token, there is another very important item here.
The viewers in the live stream were unaware of Su Jin's inner thoughts, and many fans began to worry:
If this stage is really that amazing, then wouldn't Sister Su be in danger?
Kakaya is clearly lying.
[+1 If the stage could truly absorb Su Jie's power, Kakaa should have gone to great lengths to trick her into staying up there longer, not trying to persuade her to come down. When did it become so kind?]
[Didn't you guys consider that Kakaya might have done it on purpose? She knew Su Jin wouldn't believe her, so she deliberately told the truth to make Su Jin think it was a lie.]
It's possible, but I still trust Sister Su's judgment.
[You still believe her? She's obviously fallen for that pretty boy named Xiao Qinian and's acting on her emotions.]
[Yeah, risking her life to save a guy, isn't that just too love-struck?]
Su Jin placed one hand on the shoulder of the rabbit closest to her, and before it could bite her hand, she used an extraordinary leap to land in the rabbits' encirclement with a beautiful somersault.
She rushed up to Xiao Qinian, who looked bewildered, and ripped the rabbit ears off his head.
When she touched the rabbit's ears with her bare hands, she felt dizzy, as if she heard countless voices repeating in her mind:
You are a rabbit, you are a rabbit, you are a rabbit...
You are a red-eyed rabbit, you are a red-eyed rabbit...
Wearing bunny ears will make you the happiest person!
Su Jin didn't use any special abilities; she only relied on the willpower she had honed in the previous dungeon to stay conscious and throw the tempting rabbit ear headdress to the ground.
But the annoying voice in my mind didn't disappear, and all that remained before my eyes was a bloody mess.
Su Jin felt a deep-seated obsession clamoring within her, about to burst forth—
Have you forgotten who destroyed your loved ones?
"Humans are not worth it for you to do this."
"Kill them all, that's what they owe you."
"You're on our side! You're one of us!"
Those long-buried memories surged and raged through her consciousness like a flood, and she felt as if her head was being torn apart.
The pain was almost beyond the limits of human endurance, and her face was deathly pale.
She rarely showed signs of weakness, and the trolls in the live stream instantly went wild:
See, being love-struck always ends badly.
I thought she was so strong, but it turns out she's just a useless piece of trash after she can't use her items.
[Heh, this woman should have died a long time ago.]
I love seeing show-offs get their comeuppance.
Sister Su, when you die, I will burn paper money for you, hoping that you can learn to be humble in your next life.
But Su Jin did not fall as they had hoped.
She seemed to weakly twitch the corner of her mouth, as if she were laughing silently.
Then she whispered:
"You think you can control me with these?"
Never.
She was born free, belonging to no one, and would not obey anyone's will.
She only listens to herself.
Su Jin's gaze suddenly darkened. She raised her hand and bit her fingertip hard, the bright red blood dripping onto the stage and being instantly absorbed.
8ьοok． COM
Kakaya laughed triumphantly:
"The blood of an SSS+ ability user is a top-quality tonic; the more you shed, the more the stage can absorb..."
But soon, it stopped laughing.
Because after the stage drained Su Jin's blood, it instantly seemed to be poisoned.
The once beautiful and ornate patterns on the table, shimmering with red light, gradually dimmed, and Kakaia began to scream again, this time with a hint of pain in its cries:
"Damn woman, what have you done? What's in your blood?!"
"Dear Goddess of Evil, how could a human woman as clever, cunning, and valuing her life as much as I do take risks without any trump cards? You still don't understand humans enough."
Su Jin curled her lips into a smile. She felt that the power that had been suppressing her since she stepped onto the stage was now completely overwhelmed.
Those eerie rabbits looked like stiff wooden carvings, and their blood-red eyes had darkened, turning into fake eyes like glass beads.
Dai Qiu let go of his hand and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
The white downy fur on her body had mostly fallen off, but her facial features had not fully recovered, and she still resembled a rabbit somewhat. Her eyes were half glass and half real eyeballs.
Su Jin reached out and pulled her along without any disgust, saying, "Don't sit down, the ground is dirty."
Before Dai Qiu could understand her words, she suddenly saw the smooth exterior of the stage disappear, revealing countless bulging pustules like malignant tumors, emitting a pungent stench.
The aunt standing at the edge of the stage exclaimed in shock:
"This is..."
Su Jin calmly replied, "This is a small part of the true form of the evil god Kakaya, but it has been rotting for a long time."
She felt something was wrong the moment she saw the stage.
It wasn't something on the stage that gave her this feeling; rather, there was something wrong with the entire stage.
So she deliberately tested him with her power and used her third opportunity to ask questions, inquiring about the secrets of the Kakaya stage.
She guessed that if she directly asked what the stage was, Kakaya would rather suffer the backlash than tell her, because the consequences of revealing the answer were even more unbearable for it.
The old adage, "When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one," which is used to analyze human behavior, is also applicable to evil gods.
"Kakaya, I said before that your true form disappeared millions of years ago, and you never refuted it, but that's not actually the case."
Although the consciousness of an evil god is powerful, it always needs to be placed in some kind of material, such as a statue or the body of a believer.
"Idols and the bodies of believers are consumables; they cannot bear the energy from higher dimensions that your evil god possesses for long. They will all collapse after a certain period, so you must constantly replace them with new vessels. But you've been hiding in this instance, and there isn't even a single idol of yours here. I was wondering then, what is the source of your consciousness that can permanently house it?"
Su Jin sneered:
"Then I guessed that, in addition to the already revealed rules for clearing the dungeon and your seven godhood fragments, there was another secret that you had hidden the deepest: that you had also hidden a part of your true self here."
You continuously absorb human souls, using them to nourish your true form. Because once your true form stops decaying, you can put the shattered divine essence back into your true form and regenerate a complete divine essence.
As for what you just said about the energy shield that the system gave you on this stage, that's not a lie. You did indeed make an exchange with the system to obtain this item, and then put it into your true form.
But when you answered my question, you cleverly exploited a loophole in my question, only answering what was on the stage, not what the stage itself was. You thought you could fool me with that, which was a clever strategy, but unfortunately, you failed.
In the live stream, Su Jin's fans started tagging the haters who had just been laughing at her:
[You little devils, come out here! Your execution time has arrived!]
[Didn't you just say that Sister Su is only good at showing off and is useless without props? Why are you all silent now? Is something on your mind?]
[I hope the haters remember this: our Sister Su is a master strategist who can outwit even evil gods, not someone you lowly rats can point fingers at.]
As a laid-back fan of Sister Su, I can't be bothered with those haters at all. They're just a bunch of clowns; the more they jump around, the funnier they become. I just want to know, why is Sister Su's blood so powerful that it can harm the true form of an evil god?
I'm also curious, is there any expert who can offer some analysis?
Viewers immediately started tagging VIP, but no matter how many times they tagged him, no red comments appeared on the screen.
Meanwhile, in a laboratory in the human world.
Here are many high-tech instruments that ordinary people would never see in their lifetime. Men and women in white coats are busy shuttling back and forth. Their faces have been featured in international news, and they are top scientists in their respective fields.
Countless screens are connected together, constantly flashing the cold light of data.
The giant screen in the very center was playing Su Jin's live stream.
A gaunt man sat in a wheelchair, the ugly image of Kakaya's true form reflected in his cold glasses.
Even when faced with such disgusting things, his gaze remained rational and restrained, showing no trace of emotion.
His female assistant, Eileen, leaned down beside him:
"Teacher Shi, as you requested, I searched for the girl named Su Jin in the Morning Light database using various methods, but strangely, apart from those with the same name as her, her information was completely blank."
At this point, a deep sense of confusion appeared in Eileen's blonde, blue-eyed eyes.
"Dawn's database contains information on citizens of various countries. Even the most important figures in the world whose identities are kept highly confidential should have their personal information readily available to us at Dawn."
But why is it that this young girl named Su Jin has nothing, as if she never truly existed?
As she finished speaking, Eileen's voice trembled slightly.
８вOΟK.ｃＯм
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Eileen had worked for the Dawn Organization for so long, and the last time she felt this troubled was when the Dark Night Society appeared in the world, and the belief in the evil god transcended the horror game for the first time, directly affecting the human world.
The man she called Teacher Shi remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking:
"Any living being that truly exists in the three-dimensional world will leave behind data. With data, it can be understood and analyzed by humans. Even evil gods are no exception."
His tone was very calm, without any inflection or warmth, like a robot.
But Eileen and the other staff members around her felt inexplicitly relieved after hearing this.
Teacher Shi doesn't deliberately emphasize anything, nor does he use the emotionally manipulative language techniques of those orators, but his voice is always filled with a very firm and essential sense of conviction, which brings powerful strength:
"The fact that we can't find her information means that someone has used methods to block the data that should belong to her."
Currently, evil gods cannot break through dimensional barriers to directly influence the real world, and their followers cannot use the power of evil gods in the real world. No matter who it is, they can only use human means to attack and tamper with our database.
Anything that uses human methods can be cracked.
Do you know what to do?
Eileen regained her confidence and immediately began assigning tasks to her staff.
Teacher Shi stared at the screen, but her brows furrowed slightly.
"Eileen," he called softly.
Eileen turned around, and the young man, who always seemed calm, took off his glasses, rubbed his temples wearily, and sent her an encrypted message:
[I've unlocked the 'cloned blood' data with my privileges. Go check all the names mentioned there and see if anyone has left any new data in the last twenty years. I need to know if any of the people involved in that experiment are still alive.]
Then, the viewers in the live stream finally saw the red bullet comments:
Human blood cannot harm an evil god; you've simply misremembered.
Many viewers scoffed at this comment the moment they read it.
So many of them saw it together, how could they be wrong?
But after looking at this line of text for a while, they all became confused.
What did they just see?
Which human's blood harmed the evil god?
After the thought formed in their minds, they continued to trace it back, but couldn't remember anything.
Gradually, they even lost the ability to understand what the text was saying.
Ordinary people tend to have short memories, and they quickly stopped pursuing the matter, tacitly ignoring the strange comment and continuing to enjoy the rest of the live stream.
However, on their screens, all images related to the stage were changed.
The stage transformed into the appearance of ordinary evil beings, and they no longer remembered that it was actually the true form of the evil god Kakaya.
...
Inside the instance, Xiao Qinian, who had been staring blankly, gradually regained his self-awareness.
He stared blankly at Su Jin standing in front of him, "Miss Su, why is your face so pale? It looks like you're bleeding..."
Su Jin winked at him, "It's all your fault."
Xiao Qinian looked completely bewildered. "Is it my fault?"
Then, as if finally regaining his senses, he looked around at his surroundings, a look of remorse on his face, and said to himself:
"Were you injured while saving me? I'm sorry, I've dragged you down..."
No, that's not it.
Su Jin smiled wickedly, "I'm getting a nosebleed because you're dressed so provocatively, it's making me feel hot."
Xiao Qinian was stunned for a moment, and then he finally felt that his body seemed to be getting cold.
The feeling of the breeze blowing directly on his skin was very comfortable, but it also seemed to cool his heart.
He had a bad feeling and slowly lowered his head.
After seeing his upper body completely exposed, the color drained from his face little by little.
Su Jin mischievously pointed at the rabbit ears on the ground and teased him in a coquettish tone, "Teacher Xiao, you were wearing these when you danced for us just now. You danced so beautifully, can you dance for me again?"
Live Stream Room:
Judging from Teacher Xiao's eyes, he had lost all will to live and wanted to leave this world.
True heartbreak is never about making a scene.
[Stop making fun of Teacher Xiao, he's already devastated. Can't you have a little sympathy? I'm different from you. I hope Teacher Xiao can recover from this blow as soon as possible and vigorously develop his side business as a bunny boy.]
[+1 I hope Teacher Xiao will always wear this outfit when he goes into dungeons and does live streams in the future]
[The powerful support system has made the bunny boy outfit a permanent feature for Teacher Xiao.]
[The people upstairs are so mean! Am I the only one worried that Teacher Xiao will catch a cold wearing so little? Teacher Xiao, it's easy to catch a cold if your upper body is cold and your lower body is hot. For your health, I suggest you take off your pants next time.]
Are you all devils?
Xiao Qinian's face burned bright red. Su Jin watched him unable to lift his head, and her mischievous amusement swelled to its peak.
She leaned closer to the man, who was consumed by shame, and whispered in his ear, "Teacher Xiao, you have such a great figure."
Now, Xiao Qinian's chest and abdominal muscles were also burning red.
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
This compliment successfully made Xiao Qinian's breathing become disordered.
As she watched Xiao Qinian's chest muscles rise and fall with his breath, a thought suddenly came to mind:
A large bust is a man's best dowry.
"May I touch it?" Su Jin asked Xiao Qinian politely.
Xiao Qinian was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood, his face turning bright red as he whispered, "Okay."
Then, he gently grasped Su Jin's wrist, lifted her hand, and placed it on his heart.
When Su Jin's cool palm touched his burning skin, she felt as if a wonderful chemical reaction was passing between them.
But then she saw Xiao Qinian's almost innocent expression.
His face showed no ostentation, no pride, no excitement, only a faint shyness and a hint of unwavering determination.
It's like a young man experiencing his first love solemnly taking his first love's hand and letting her hear the sound of his heartbeat.
Bang, bang, bang.
So real, so powerful.
It was as if it truly beat only for her.
Su Jin suddenly withdrew her hand.
Xiao Qinian looked at her in surprise, but she avoided his eyes and looked at the dying evil god's true form at her feet.
She was concise and to the point:
"I'm going to burn this place down."
This Chamber of Greed is different from the other six chambers; its source of evil is the remaining part of Kakaya's true form.
As for where the divine essence was hidden, she already had the answer in her heart.
Dai Qiu and the middle-aged woman next to her had both looked away when they saw her being close to Teacher Xiao, but now that they heard Su Jin's words, they both wanted to help her.
Dai Qiu looked around and saw nothing but the rabbits that had been turned into sculptures.
The aunt also asked, "But there's no fire source here, how are we going to start a fire?"
Su Jin took out a lighter and smiled:
"Use this."
Kakaa's scream rang out again, "Su Jin, if you destroy my true form, I will never let you go! Your descendants will be cursed by me, and I will make everyone who comes near you suffer misfortune!"
It threatened venomously, "My lifespan has no end. As time goes by, I will one day regain my strength, and then..."
Su Jin sneered indifferently:
"Don't worry, I can't have children, so I won't have any descendants. By the time your power is restored, I'll be long dead, and no one will want to get close to me. Besides, it's hard to say whether you can even continue to exist until then. What if one day your enemies find you and kill even this last bit of your soul?"
Kakaya was so angry that his voice trembled, "I am a god, and gods are immortal!"
"Really? Then where did the term 'fallen god' come from?"
Su Jin's eyes were icy cold. When she wasn't smiling, her expression was far more ruthless than her age. "Even the creator god would perish, let alone you."
After she finished speaking, she jumped off the "stage," followed closely by Xiao Qinian, and the middle-aged woman helped Dai Qiu jump off as well.
Amidst Kakaya's screams, Su Jin used a lighter to set its true form ablaze.
The platinum-gold holy fire burned the evil god's dark, ugly, twisted body, and the charred parts turned into black powder that dispersed without wind.
However, this scene, which had an eerie beauty, was seen by the viewers in the live stream as Su Jin burning a huge low-level evil creature to death.
There were also comments from Su Jin's haters:
[Is this lighter another item she redeemed from the system shop? It can only burn the lowest-level evil creatures, what's so great about it?]
Su Jin's fans are very powerful, and they quickly humiliated the hater until he disappeared.
8Book. сOm
Inside the instance, Kakaya's remaining true form was burned away, revealing a silvery-white object.
Xiao Qinian frowned slightly, "This doesn't look like a godhood."
Su Jin walked up to it and, after confirming that there was no evil energy on it, bent down to pick it up and tried to inject power into it, but it was as if a stone had sunk into the sea.
"This must be the good thing that Kakaya was talking about earlier, the one the system gave him that can block player skills."
She briefly explained to Xiao Qinian, then, as if finally having a change of heart, clicked her tongue and took off her coat, throwing it at him.
"Put them on, or you'll catch a cold."
Xiao Qinian silently put on her knitted women's cardigan. Because of the difference in their body sizes, the cardigan was too short for him, highlighting his hot figure with a half-concealed sexiness.
What's worse, the sweater was made of a thin material and was somewhat transparent, so it couldn't cover his fair skin and the bright red on his chest at all.
Overall, this garment does provide a tiny bit of warmth.
Dai Qiu and the middle-aged woman were both embarrassed to look at him, but Su Jin patted his shoulder casually and asked, "Teacher Xiao, how did you get infected?"
The blush on Xiao Qinian's face had not yet faded, and he said somewhat ashamedly:
"I stepped out of the darkness and got a program list. I saw a play called 'The Rabbit Doesn't Eat Grass.' I remembered what I heard Miss Dai say outside the secret room and wondered if she had been turned into a rabbit, so I chose this play."
Then, inexplicably, I found myself in the audience section of the stage. The rabbits on stage first danced and sang, their dance moves and lyrics quite bizarre. Then, I saw a doll that looked a lot like Miss Dai being led onto the stage by two other rabbits. The rabbits held hands and formed a circle around her.
Their circling movements slowed down more and more, and based on the lines, I imagined that once they stopped completely, they would do something terrible to the puppets. To save them, I rushed onto the stage, only to find all the rabbits staring at me, their blood-red eyes instantly terrifying me.
In a daze, a rabbit handed me a pair of rabbit ear headbands, and I put them on without really understanding what was happening. Then, I lost control of my body and didn't even know what I was doing.
He then asked Dai Qiu, "What did Miss Dai encounter in the secret room?"
Dai Qiu answered with lingering fear:
"My experience is similar to that of Teacher Xiao."
After I entered this secret room, I was forced by a clown to perform a skit. The names of the skits looked very strange. After looking around, I chose the one that looked the most harmless, "The Rabbit Doesn't Eat Grass," and then I was brought to this stage.
Those are the rabbits you just saw, following the same process and movements, except they are surrounding a mannequin of a middle-aged man. His face looks familiar; I suddenly remembered that he was the wealthy businessman who suddenly disappeared a few months ago. Our magazine even did an interview with him.
After the rabbits stopped circling, they pounced on him and bit off his head. I wasn't as brave as Teacher Xiao, and I didn't dare to stop them from below the stage. All I could see were the rabbits' red eyes, each one shining like a red lantern.
After they finished gnawing on the doll's head, they grinned and told me that if I joined them, my wishes would come true.
They seemed to be able to see through my deepest desires. They knew I wanted to start my own online magazine brand in my lifetime, and they also knew I lacked funds, so they beckoned me to come up and join them in devouring the heads of wealthy businessmen.
They said that as long as they ate the rich merchant's head, they could obtain the rich merchant's wealth.
Their words were incredibly seductive; I covered my ears, not wanting to listen, but their voices went straight into my brain.
At this point, Dai Qiu's face, which had not yet fully recovered, turned deathly pale, and she murmured:
"Before this, I always thought I was a rational person who could control my greed. But their words made me unlike myself. The more I listened, the less I could control my greedy desire to seize other people's property."
His mind was filled with thoughts of taking the life of a wealthy businessman, using his money to fulfill his own dreams!
I even wondered why someone as heartless and tasteless as him could amass such wealth, while I, with my talent and dreams, could only work for others, following orders from my superiors to write columns I didn't want to do and articles that didn't reflect my true feelings.
Am I destined to remain an editor-in-chief for the rest of my life? The opportunity is right in front of me, why shouldn't I seize it?
With that in mind, I took the initiative to walk onto the stage and join the rabbits.
But I could never bring myself to join them in devouring the heads of wealthy businessmen. I always vaguely remembered my mother's words: one must have a conscience and not harm others.
The rabbits were angry at my indecisiveness. They kept telling me that I was born a red-eyed rabbit, that I was born to eat human heads, but I still couldn't do it, and I couldn't get rid of them either...
Then, I met you all who came to rescue me.
A strange glint flashed in Su Jin's eyes.
Although Dai Qiu is smart, she is still a newbie to the game, so it's normal for her to fall for the trap.
Could Xiao Qinian, who seemed to be hiding his true abilities, really lose himself in a trap of this magnitude?
She always felt that this man was hiding something from her.

But Su Jin didn't show it.
She smiled at Xiao Qinian, then looked at Dai Qiu and said, "If it weren't for your steady self-awareness and your refusal to completely lose yourself, we wouldn't have been able to save you."
Dai Qiu shook her head vigorously, "No, as long as you come a little later, I will do as Rabbit said."
She was truly grateful to Su Jin, knowing that Xiao Qinian and the middle-aged aunt had both been brought in by Su Jin.
Without Su Jin, she really wouldn't be able to go back.
Su Jin curled her lips into a smile and tossed the silver-white shielding device in her hand. "Since you admit that I saved your life, you won't try to take this from me, will you?"
Dai Qiu quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I almost became a red-eyed rabbit, not a white-eyed wolf."
Su Jin then looked at Xiao Qinian and the middle-aged woman, as if in a consultative tone, "Do you two have any opinions?"
Xiao Qinian naturally had no objections. Judging from his eyes, he would be more than happy if Su Jin wanted him to come along as well.
The middle-aged woman yawned and stretched. "I'm getting old, all I want to do is sleep. I wouldn't fight with a young girl for things."
Su Jin smiled and put away the energy shield, saying without any hesitation, "Then I'll gladly accept it."
Kakaya's sullen voice rang out:
"In your human terms, this is called taking advantage of someone's kindness!"
Su Jin teased, "Oh, your true form has been burned, and you still have the energy to speak?"
Kaka was so angry that she jumped around in Su Jin's mind with her voice, cursing her ancestors for eighteen generations.
Su Jin ignored it and walked to the rabbit sculptures, examining their eyes one by one.
Then, she stopped in front of the one in the very middle.
Live Stream Room:
What is Sister Su looking for?
[Of course, we should look for divinity!]
[Could the fragments of the godhood from the Greed Chamber be hidden in the eyes of these red-eyed rabbits? But there wasn't a single clue before, so how did Sister Su know?]
[Yes, aren't the fragments of Kakaya's divinity white? But these rabbits' eyes are all blood red!]
Su Jin could guess that the fragment of divinity was hidden in the rabbit's eye, for a very simple reason.
Since Kakaa had gone to great lengths to lure her into this greedy chamber, intending to trap her here and use her abilities and blood to nourish its true body, it would inevitably reveal its trump card early on in order to increase its control over her consciousness.
Its trump card is its divine nature.
If her judgment is correct, this piece of divine essence is different from the other fragments of divine essence.
Su Jin metalized her fingertips and then gouged out the rabbit's left eye.
The red pupils danced gently in her palm, gradually changing from a circle to a rhombus.
However, the color remained bright red, not fading into a lifeless bluish-white.
Just as she expected, the fragment linked to the true form had been well nourished by Kakaya using human souls, and contained most of its accumulated power.
Su Jin could feel the intense polluting power emanating from the red stone. She sneered, ignored Kakaya's pleas and screams, and stuffed the red fragment into her mouth, swallowing it without hesitation.
Live Stream Room:
What did Sister Su do?
She devoured the divine essence of the evil god?!
[Wouldn't this kill you if you ate it?]
[It's probably not just about dead bodies! Those are the highest-level sources of pollution; an ordinary person would go insane and mutate just from touching them, and she actually ate them!!]
The audience couldn't believe their eyes and went crazy, spamming the chat with comments.
In the laboratory located in the middle of a glacier, Professor Shi, sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly frowned and pressed a button.
Then, the cold, robotic notification from the horror game system rang in his ears:
[Dear VIP customer, are you sure you want to use the interrupt live stream function again? Please note that the current streamer has joined the God Wars program. To interrupt her live stream, you will need to pay ten times the fee compared to a regular streamer.]
Teacher Shi answered without hesitation:

"That's right, and I will also use the memory modification function to make the viewers in the live broadcast room forget the scene of Su Jin swallowing the god fragment."
[no problem. ]
As long as the customer can afford the high price, the system is always very generous and readily meets all the customer's requirements.
Su Jin's live stream was abruptly cut off.
The viewers who were kicked out of the live stream didn't angrily curse and swear; they were just staring blankly at their computers.
After they finished spacing out, some clicked into other streamers' live streams, while others did other things on their computers. No one remembered that they had been watching Su Jin's live stream.
Just like how they forgot about Xiao Qinian's live stream content before.
Inside the instance, a red light flashed in Su Jin's eyes as she swallowed the fragment of divinity, but it disappeared immediately.
She turned her head and smiled at her three teammates, saying:
"Don't be afraid. The divine essence is inside my stomach, so we've found it. It won't affect our progress."
Dai Qiu was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Although she didn't understand anything, reason reminded her that Su Jin was a powerful figure beyond her comprehension. If such a powerful figure wanted to harm her, she would have been dead long ago.
Therefore, her best option is to ignore the suspicious points about Su Jin, trust her without reservation, and follow her out of the instance.
The middle-aged woman had been dozing off and hadn't seen Su Jin eat the divine fragment at all. When she heard Su Jin's words, she just nodded vaguely.
Regardless of who has the divine power or who is inside her, as long as she can quickly leave the dungeon and go home to sleep, that's all that matters.
Xiao Qinian gazed at Su Jin with tender affection, and smiled gently as he said:
I support all your decisions.
Su Jin was very satisfied with her three obedient and sensible teammates.
She led them out of the Chamber of Greed, back into the corridor, and quickly found the remaining chambers to obtain the fragments of divinity.
An hour later, all she had to find was the fragment of the godhood in the Chamber of Wrath.
The Chamber of Wrath seemed to have vanished into thin air; no matter how hard they searched, it was nowhere to be found.
Dai Qiu frowned and said, "It was Brother Dao who went into the Chamber of Wrath. Could it be that he already obtained the fragment of the divine power and left without waiting for us?"
Su Jin smiled and said, "No, he will definitely come looking for us."
That man was also a seasoned veteran; he should have already figured out the true rules of the dungeon—only by collecting all seven divine fragments could one clear it.
Even if he hates teamwork, he still has to find teammates.
But he didn't show up for a long time. If he wasn't trapped in the secret room, then there was only one possibility left.
As Su Jin was thinking, she suddenly heard a strange noise behind her.
She turned around and saw Brother Dao being chased by red shadows that had transformed into various monsters; he was running for his life.
Upon seeing them, he roared:
"These red shadows are the red-clad NPCs. They're all players who were eliminated earlier, and they're trying to kill us and steal our player identities! What are you all standing there for? Run!"
The other three all looked at Su Jin.
Unbeknownst to her, Su Jin had become the leader of this small team.
Su Jin glanced at Dao Ge, who was covered in sweat, and the ferocious monster chasing after him, then turned around and started running as well.
She deliberately slowed down so that Brother Dao could catch up with her.
Dao Ge ran beside her and asked urgently:
"You've all cleared the game? Are you sure no red-clad NPCs have infiltrated it?"
Dai Qiu glanced at Su Jin out of the corner of her eye, then she said knowingly, "The red-clad NPCs will use all sorts of methods to disguise themselves. We all left the secret room alone and then met up, so there's no way to be sure."
Dao Ge said impatiently:
"Idiot, of course it's determined by divinity!"
The player who manages to escape the secret room on their own will receive a fragment of divine power. Take out your fragments, put them all together, and we'll see if there's a red-clad NPC among them!
