042: Happy Food Festival (23)

Yunzhi smiled, and she took out the food coins and sprinkled them all on the stage.

The sound of coins colliding with coins is clear and melodious, carrying the most primitive greed, tempting people to fall into it and sink.

The audience around the stage seemed to become restless and rushed towards the stage - or to be precise, it should be the brilliant golden coins.

The King of Hearts didn't seem to have thought that she would do this. When she reacted, Yun Zhi and others had already disappeared.

The cards kept rolling between his fingers and disappeared from the stage in the blink of an eye.



Several people fled with their lives, and the things sealed in the dark seemed to be resurrecting.

The dark sky was filled with heavy oppression, and gibbering was shouting.

Soon, the King of Hearts appeared in front of them.

He walked over slowly, his steps were noble and elegant, flipping the cards between his fingers, and chuckled——

"Naughty girl."

Xiaoxiao stood in front of Yunzhi. Even though he was scared, he still stubbornly stood in front of her. He rolled his eyes and scolded: "Who are you with such a big face? It's none of your business how my boss is doing.

What kind of onion are you!"

The look in the King of Hearts' mask gradually became a little dangerous. He looked Xiaoxiao up and down and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business!"

After saying that, he pushed Xiaoxiao away, and Yunzhi and the King of Hearts were trapped in the card storm.

The teenage twins looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh when they saw each other's eyes as if they were dead.

Xiaoxiao exclaimed and hissed slightly, feeling that his ankle was sprained.

She stared blankly as the two young men who looked exactly the same rushed in without fear of death, their eyes a little dull.

In the card storm, Yun Zhi opened his eyes and looked at the King of Hearts.

The shadows in the darkness seem to be gradually emerging and spreading, like a virus...

Countless weird 'people' appeared, smiling stiffly, and every 'person' had the same smile on their face, perfect and flawless, their movements were mechanical and twisted, and they smiled unruly...

The strange ripples are twisting and the murmurings are going crazy.

Suddenly, Yunzhi was squeezed out, and everyone including Xiaoxiao's eyes turned white and disappeared.

The young man's voice sounded in the empty space——

"Please live!"

"Please take our share and survive!"

"I hope you can find the truth——"

"Until this ends!"

The last scene is the two people's eyes full of expectation. The light in their eyes gradually dissipates, and finally the two people become two masses of blood mist.

The little hands couldn't help but tremble——

Why did the ending of the two people she saw happen to be like this?!

Why exactly?!!

Yunzhi calmed down, stood up, and lay limply at the door of the hotel.

Lying on the floor tiles, looking at the starless sky, he laughed softly, his voice gradually becoming a little crazy——

What is this?

Does the game want them all to die here??

The chef sat on the ground in a daze, as if he hadn't calmed down yet.

Still a little unbelievable——

Some players actually dedicated their lives?

The man in black tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand, and his glazed eyes seemed to be filled with emotions.

[Current number of people remaining: 4/12]



Yunzhi lay on the bed, feeling more tired than ever.

Looking at the remaining people above, Yun Zhi's aura felt a little cold, and the beast in his heart had already touched the edge of the cage and was about to open it.

Lu Xiaoxiao hugged the quilt tightly, her tears quickly soaked the quilt, and her voice was suppressed and painful.

Room 606 was extremely quiet, but there was sadness in the air.

Tragedy still occurs in various dungeons. Countless people are struggling to survive. Goodwill and dedication are regarded as the most useless things by players.

But they didn't know that in a small E-level copy, more of the kind side of human nature bloomed, just like a little bit of morning light of hope, gradually gathering together——

Until it becomes a torrent that cannot be ignored.



Early morning on the fifth day.

Everyone sat at the table, with the food ordered by the chef in front of them.

He raised his head and seemed to be intending to liven up the atmosphere and said: "I don't seem to have done anything, so these things can barely be regarded as my contribution."

Yunzhi did not go to eat immediately. He looked at the people around him and said, "You must leave this dungeon as soon as possible today. We have stayed here for too long."

Everyone was silent, feeling a little depressed.

Yun Zhi sighed and continued: "I'll summarize what I know. If you have anything to add, you can wait until I finish -"

"First of all, the Happy Food Festival dungeon focuses on the word 'food'. The known important locations include the food street, the video game city and the Happy Theater."

"The three have similarities, but naturally they also have differences, and the most core word related to the three - the word 'famine' is what I mentioned before."

"Because they have experienced famine, the residents of the food court are so angry about wasting food; because they have experienced famine, the first ones to disappear are children——"

"Because, in ancient times, when there was famine, the first people to be operated on were always children. They were immature and weak. Changing children to eat was not just talk."

"The existence of the video game city is very strange. In other words, this copy most likely did not have this map originally, but I don't know why this map suddenly appeared."

"Among them, the hooks such as health points and food coins have been constantly tempting or encouraging people to overdraw their lives. In other words-"

"The purpose of these foreign invasions is to take away people's lives and achieve some unspeakable purpose - for example, the immortality that ancient high-ranking people have been praying for."

"But the incredible circus is even more interesting. It seems to be inextricably linked to wherever it is, and it feels like a bridge."

"And among them, the troupe leader who only appeared in the circus for the first time and works as a tour guide probably doesn't belong here either."

"As for his identity as a taster, we don't care for the moment. Just saying that he is our guide is definitely not simple. This person is the most hidden NPC in this copy. He may not even belong to him.

In the realm of human beings.”

“It’s incredible that the circus has already performed three performances tonight, namely: Man-Animal Reversal, Woman on a Unicycle, and the Magic Show of the King of Hearts.”

"The inversion of man and beast is a metaphor comparing humans to animals, the woman in the unicycle is satirizing the era of cannibalism, and the magic performance of the King of Hearts is reflecting the fragility and insignificance of human beings——"

"And the food coins in our hands symbolize greed."

"The hotel is our safe zone, but there are still rules that bind both parties, and this is reflected throughout the game -"

"Such a complex and strange town, with different paths leading to the same destination."
