Volume One, Chapter Eighty-Eight: Everyone Poisoned

Mounty was not the least surprised by the reaction of the Jack of Spades.

With every use of the Wish Poker, his understanding of the item deepened.

It was like a greedy devil, endlessly tempting whoever it had infested.

Little by little, it would erode the host’s sanity until at last the person became its puppet.

At that moment, Sun Lin was brimming with excitement. Thinking of the system’s explanation filled him with delight.

Among those one hundred and fifty awakened zombies, only five became Iron Corpses and forty-five became Origin Corpses, a testament to how difficult it was for the corpse race to awaken.

On the other hand, he also thought of him as a detestable researcher. If not for the virtual spaces and horror games he had designed, they would never have been trapped inside such terrifying games.

His eyes remained fixed on the hand Lin Zhan had wrapped around Qian Duoduo’s waist, his heart overflowing with boundless hatred.

If only she had always been obedient and quiet, without so many schemes and tricks, how much more comfortable life would have been.

After I entered the room, I held the compass and looked left and right, then took up the measuring rod and kept measuring, knocking on the floor again and again.

Two fiery red spears had already reached him, but Tel advanced instead of retreating, lifting both hands to form a massive wooden round shield.

By now, the gaunt dog was just like a turncoat, hunching its back and darting its sly eyes about, looking for a chance to flee. But the three of us watched him so closely that he had no room to escape.

When Bai Qiyao heard Sun Lin’s words, her mouth parted slightly as she stared at him in utter disbelief, studying him carefully.

It had to be said that Chen Qian’s luck was terribly poor, for she had been singled out by yet another newly emerged three-headed serpent.

With nothing more than the simple act of opening her eyes, she actually frightened a genius who had been sneaking a glance at her so badly that he nearly toppled to the ground.

And so, before long, they had reached the level of taming the tiger. Seeing this, Snowy was sorely tempted to hurl a vicious complaint at Wolf Treasure.

Fang Cheng cursed inwardly, and a gap appeared at his lower right. Without hesitation, he darted through it, plunging into the boundless deep sea and swimming forward at frantic speed.

But Su Jinyan was no fool. He would absolutely never take the initiative to ask Su Xia what had happened that day, or what exactly had occurred between her and Luo Feng, to make her leave Canglan so decisively.

Ou Anan was furious to the point of nearly vomiting blood, and she wanted nothing more than to hit someone. It was always like this—Ye Xiaowu was the demon star in her life.

“I don’t believe it. I’ve been here for over six thousand years. Impossible. If there were millennium stalactites here, I would have known. I know every corner of this place well. It is absolutely impossible,” Sima Du said.

Liu Mu understood that Changsun Wuji at this moment was already somewhat different from the Changsun Wuji of history, because different experiences in life could shape different thoughts.

This ban, like a crushing storm sweeping through dry weeds, like a radiance spreading in all directions, like overwhelming majesty, spread across the five great eternal domains of the human race, as well as the secret realms of all living beings.

Qianqian thought for a moment before saying with self-mockery, “I remember. All the truth was told to me by you.” In a sense, he had told it to her indirectly as well, shattering her world completely and leaving her with not even the last trace of hope.

Caught completely off guard, Leng Xianning was shoved aside by him and fell miserably to the ground. Her tender palm scraped against the rough floor, and it hurt terribly. But how could that pain compare to the agony in her heart? He had pushed her away. Whatever the outcome, he still chose to push her away.

The more the people of Mount Taiping thought this way, the deeper their despair became. Some had even gone ashen-faced, as though all life had drained from them.

After returning home, Du Yuesheng calculated things through for half the night. Then he had Yan Shenwu hurry to contact the headquarters of the Mafia, saying he had an earth-shattering deal to introduce to them. After that, Vanni, representing the Mafia, called Du Yuesheng first.

He showed weakness only before her alone, and only to her did he speak these words meant for her ears alone. This made Shen Yunyou feel indescribably satisfied.

After meeting his cousin Louis XIV, Chen Long obtained some unknown information. Was this luck, or misfortune?

Back then, after Qin Susu’s accident, the prince had simply thrown her into this place and never set foot here again.

After hurling out the fireball, Zhang Xu looked coldly at Bai Yi on the ground, his words utterly devoid of feeling.

The Red Bull coach was unwilling, unwilling, and so he signaled the last defender to push up as well, advancing near the center circle.

Su Momo silently nodded and said nothing more. She had been brought here by force today, and from the bottom of her heart, she did not want him and his father to fall out too badly.

Huang Wugui was Lu Tianhu’s trump card, sent to deal with him. Flower Insect was Lu Tianhu’s top lieutenant, dispatched to deal with Chen Junrong. As for Chen Shichang, by rights he ought to have been the highest priority. Whom would Lu Tianhu send to deal with him?

And her brother, though blessed with astonishing cultivation talent, was the legitimate eldest son of a family of alchemists and yet had never been able to kindle alchemical fire or step onto the path of alchemy. All along, he had been looked down upon by others at every turn.

“Very well, I’m not an expert in this, but I can be sure of one thing: your formation has definitely been broken!” the man said.

The great magician of the music scene, Hua Chenyu, who had earned the title of singing while others chanted spells, presented Su Yang’s performance video.

To call him a peak figure would not be an exaggeration. And to be honest, among the many people with whom Xia Yuan had a superb relationship, there were a great many at ministerial level and even more at provincial-ministerial level.

This country’s first large-scale live variety show, produced exclusively by the official Douhu platform, has officially launched its entertainment challenge.

Human beings, in the end, are just living creatures. The first principle of all living creatures is survival; before survival, gentlemanly grace and the like are nothing but nonsense.

The Fallen Heaven Immortal King, growing impatient, kicked and snapped both of his leg bones. Long Dongqiang widened his mouth, but swallowed the pain back down into his belly.

“This is... wine?” Everyone was shocked. They could smell a rich, intoxicating aroma of alcohol, but what kind of wine could produce such an effect?

The mysterious black sphere still hovered in midair. Inside it, the strange corpse had long since been worn down by the prolonged extraction of energy until only the last remnants remained. The sphere’s entire energy flow seemed to have entered an extremely unstable state, swelling abruptly from time to time and causing the whole barrier to tremble.

“Why not choose from the top ten academies on the academy ranking list?” the instructor asked. Now that the Imperial Academy was yours to choose from, if one wanted a promising future, choosing a powerful academy was unquestionably the best option.

But to truly end everything between her and Yin Shixiu... even she felt it was not worth it, even she felt it was... absurd.

Fu Ming and Zhan Huan, at the cost of total annihilation, held back Batu’s cavalry for an hour, successfully buying enough time for Qiu Liju and the other man to flee.

Outside the alley came the jingling of bells. Aji knew it was the carriage that had appeared at the Han residence that day. It stopped beside the alley, one zhang away from Aji and the doll.

Song Yazhu nodded politely, then sat down and began to eat, picking up the tomato-and-egg stir-fry before her and putting it into her mouth.
