Chapter 441: The Darkness Beneath the Ground, Game Entry
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Kewen, the passionate prodigal whose reputation for being gentle had spread across several regions, suddenly disappeared. A friend went to look for him, only to discover the secret chamber with its doors wide open.
Then, in shock and disbelief, the friend discovered the countless torture instruments that made one’s heart skip a beat just by looking at them. They were covered with rotten pieces of meat, and the freshest pool of blood on the ground had not even completely coagulated…
Other than that small pool of blood and the bloody diary that was placed on the table, there seemed to be no other trace of the person in the world.
After cleaning up a piece of trash, Chu Feng followed the remnants of the memories in the executioner’s head and arrived at a deserted cemetery.
This was one of the passages to the underground auction. The passage would change every few days. Only the most loyal old customers and “hyenas” could keep close contact with the underground auction.
Kewen had barely managed to get a long-term ticket with the help of the young ladies wealth. Of course, he was still quite capable apart from being quite smart in swindling.
He had several perverted clients who preferred blood and cruelty. Through the executioner, they satisfied their hidden desires. It was also because there was someone behind them that Kewen had dared to act so boldly.
In his opinion, even if he couldn’t survive openly in the world, there was still the “underground” who would accept him. With an appearance that didn’t match his personality, Kewen even took on several private jobs.
At this moment, Chu Feng came to one of the reality shows, Execution Ground Massacre. Basically, all the humans and beasts who had some understanding of the dark side knew about the underground auction, but only those who had truly stepped into the darkness knew that it was not just an auction.
To put it simply, the “underground auction” was more like a group of dark organizations gathered together. Their strongholds were all over the wild region, the eastern divine region, and even the entire God’s world.
Dark reality shows and organ auctions were just the tips of the iceberg among the many businesses of the underground auction. Anywhere evil thoughts existed, the underground auction would be able to take root. Even if thousands and thousands of holy flames that could kill Gods were set to burn them, they simply could not be burned clean!
“Welcome to the Execution Ground Escape game. Currently, 10 star players who have been selected by the various organizations, as well as the 100 immortal slaves selected through special mechanisms, have all been put into the game,” The host’s words came from all directions, and dozens of humans and beasts who could not accept such a game were cursing at the light screen. Chu Feng’s clothes were stained with a layer of gray matter, like some kind of mark.
Unlike the hundreds of “slaves” dressed in plain clothes, the nine true Gods looked shiny, even more so than the stars in the real world.
At this moment, the voice that came out of nowhere changed its tone.
“… The ninth player, vampire Carola… the tenth player, the Gentle Executioner… Where is he? Didn’t he come in?!”
The program team seemed to have turned off the microphone, but their faint discussions could still be heard.
“What? Untraceable?!”
“I did detect that Kewen had logged into the dark net, but…”
“Those two big shots finally had time to come and watch the show today, and now you’re telling me that the fun is over?! Do you want to be cut into pieces?!”
“…Sop arguing! Maybe the executioner deliberately disguised himself when entering the venue. There’s no need to be so anxious.”
The jumbled noise was transformed into clear syllables after Mystic’s processing. Chu Feng was among a group of immortals with different expressions. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
“Very good, then let’s have a good time.”
In a broadcast hall deep underground, dozens of staff members remained calm amidst the noise. Their hands flashed quickly, and countless screens appeared in front of them and around them.
The argument soon stopped. A middle-aged man who seemed to have more power quickly accepted the suggestion of the people below.
No matter what happened to the executioner, the show still had to go on as usual. Otherwise, the audience and guests who had long been waiting for the bloody scenes might tear all the living beings present into pieces on the spot! If they really messed up the show and received a “trash” evaluation, he was afraid that…
Thinking of the punishment, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but shudder even though he was in a warm room. It was even more terrifying than death!
On the execution ground, many were stunned by the program notification. Even the nine true Gods were stunned. Luckily, the silence didn’t last long before the voice from before appeared again.
“There are all sorts of items in the game. Every 10 minutes, a special item bag will be dropped. Those who perform extremely well may even receive mysterious gifts from the audience… In this massacre, there are a total of nine true Gods as executioners. The remaining 101 immortals are criminals awaiting punishment. The true Gods are the wolves and the immortals are sheep. For every sheep killed, one will earn basic points… The wolves can use their own weapons, execution props, and special props. Using the latter two will give you a bonus score. In the end, the top 10 most loved by the audience will receive a ticket to enter the inner city!”
“…” Chu Feng lowered his head and dropped his eyelids. No one could tell what he was thinking.
“The underground auction, God, dark reality show, program team, game grounds, star players, slaves, guests, audience… Inner city.”
It seemed that the word “broad” couldn’t even cover the span of businesses that the underground auction was involved in. On the side, a few immortals were already panicking and breaking down.
“What the hell is going on? !”
“I was just staying at home playing games, why did I hear from the microphone that us immortals are going to be killed? This is crazy!”
“I’m XX region’s fourth prince, if you don’t let me out, my father will definitely kill all of you!”
“Who the f*ck is a slave, what bullsh*t is this!”
“The bracelet on my left hand is marked with the words ‘underground auction’, it can’t be that we’ve really been kidnapped right?”
“Are you talking about that infamous dark organization? It’s still around…”
“I’ve cultivated for tens of thousands of years, it wasn’t easy for me to become an immortal, I definitely can’t die here!”
“…”
Many immortals were dressed in brocade clothes, yet as if affected by some negative aura, not only did they look dusted and dirty, they even looked more down and out than beggars in real life.
Compared to the chaos on the “sheep” side, the “wolves” were much more relaxed. A few true Gods had even thought about what they would do to the prey they wanted later.
“Hey, brothers, please don’t fight with me over those two women crying with tears on their faces!”
“That prince seems to be similar to the first love that I killed. He should taste good when eaten…”
“Didn’t you notice that there’s a person in the flock who doesn’t fit in?”
A true God connected the “mutant” as mentioned in the broadcast to the young man in black, “Is he the wolf among the sheep that the program team mentioned? If we kill him, we’ll definitely get a lot of hidden points!”
Even the tickets to the Garden of Eden in the inner city were classified into three classes. Thinking about the many treasures that “game coins” could buy, many immediately set their eyes on Chu Feng.
