Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 771: Life and Death Competition
After passing through the dark and narrow corridor, the scenery in front of me suddenly became clear.

In front of the two people was a circular venue that was slightly larger than a basketball court. The venue exuded a hot smell. In the middle was a huge steak, which was being roasted on the scorching ground and was sizzling with oil. The air was filled with tempting aroma.

Outside the venue was a three-tier circular auditorium with hundreds of evil spirits sparsely sitting in the auditorium. These evil spirits all looked strange in shape, but the thing they had in common was that they were all looking at the piece of meat that was about to mature in the center of the venue with greedy and excited eyes!

In the center of the auditorium and the venue was a circular road, where a group of starving ghosts with hunched shoulders, hunched backs, and skinny bodies moved slowly while chewing the air with lifeless eyes.

Ling Ji and Wu Xian lowered their heads and followed the group of starving ghosts, but even so they could not imitate the unique temperament of the starving ghosts.

"Everyone, look!"

In the audience, a fat and greasy demon stood up and pointed at Wu Xian and Ling Ji and shouted:

"There are two fresh ones there!"

As soon as these words were spoken, hundreds of evil spirits in the audience looked at Wu Xian and Ling Ji at the same time. Each of their gazes was burning hot, like a dog that had been hungry for several days and suddenly saw a piece of delicious meat bone, as if they couldn't wait to eat the two of them alive.

Even the starving ghosts around them seemed to be affected in some way. They all looked at the two of them, ready to pounce at them at any time.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait to taste these two."

"The skin of that curly-haired guy must be very strong, and can be used to make chopped pepper human skin!"

"I want that woman's hand!"

Being stared at by so many people, Wu Xian and Ling Ji felt creepy, as if they were standing naked on the street in winter, cold and exposed.

Lingji kept taking deep breaths, and her lips turned purple. This scene triggered her psychological shadow.

Wu Xian comforted him, "Relax, the pig-headed man said that we can find food by following the starving ghosts, so at least before we touch the food, both of us should be safe."

As they were talking, the huge steak in the center of the circular area had been cooked.

A group of kids in chef uniforms rushed forward and cut the huge steak into pieces. The largest piece was cut into half, the second largest piece was cut into a quarter, and the rest was divided into hundreds of pieces.

The aroma emitted when the meat was cut attracted all the evil eyes. The pressure felt by Wu Xian and the other man was slightly less. They also stared at the roasted meat like those starving ghosts.

When the cutting was completed, two wooden stakes suddenly fell from the ground, clamping away the largest piece of meat, followed by a hair-raising chewing sound from above!

Wu Xian looked at the dark sky and licked his lips.

The hundreds of evil spirits in the audience were scary enough, but I didn't expect that there was something even bigger in the darkness outside.

This circular venue is just the thing's dinner plate, and the evil spirits watching are just decorations on the dinner plate.

After the largest piece of meat was taken away, the second largest piece of meat was given to an evil spirit standing at the edge of the venue. The evil spirit picked up the piece of meat in ecstasy and ran to the only empty seat in the audience. Under the envious gazes of the other evil spirits, it greedily ate the piece of meat that was almost a quarter of an adult's weight.

The remaining small pieces of meat were placed into small plates by the chefs and quickly sent to the audience seats. Every evil spirit watching was given a small piece of meat.

The evil spirits cheered as they ate, and the scene even seemed somewhat harmonious.

After the meal, the heat on the field dissipated, and a starving ghost wearing green clothes, who was at the front of the line on the road, was pushed to the center of the field with a confused look on his face.

The audience was in an uproar. The evil spirits waved their arms and roared something at the green-clad hungry ghost. A moment later, an evil spirit with a head like a pitcher plant walked down from the audience and stood in the venue with the green-clad hungry ghost.

The chef ghost brought a lottery box, and the ghost drew a lottery first, and then the two evil spirits drew lots respectively. When the lottery was finished, the skin of one evil spirit turned into chocolate brown, and the other turned into pure green. Then the chef ghosts brought wooden sticks one by one and built a building block as high as a person in the middle of the venue.

Amid the cheers of the evil spirits around them, the two evil spirits played the game of 'pulling blocks'. They took turns to pull a block from the building blocks, and whoever's turn it was that collapsed would lose.

The game ended quickly, and the green-clad hungry ghost, who didn't understand the situation, slipped and caused the building block tower to collapse...

When the building block tower collapsed, the evil pitcher plant stood up and cheered, while the green hungry ghost was so frightened that his body gradually turned into a giant green ball.

What followed was a replay of what had just happened.

The green rice dumpling was divided, the largest piece was taken away by chopsticks, a quarter went to the pitcher plant evil spirit, and the rest was eaten by the evil spirits in the audience.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, the green-clad evil spirit turning into a green ball, the scene would have seemed a little absurdly warm.

Lingji grabbed Wu Xian's sleeve in horror.

"I understand. We and these starving ghosts will compete with the evil spirits in the audience one by one. Before the game, we will turn into half food. If we lose, we will turn completely into food. If we win, we can turn back and get food."

"The problem is that the food we turn into is random, and the format of the competition is also random... If you want to survive, it may depend more on luck than strength."

"What should I do? I'm so afraid of being eaten by them!"

Lingji was trembling like a frightened little animal, and her pitiful eyes made people want to protect her.

Wu Xian rolled his eyes.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes. What's the point of playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio here? The situation is indeed very tricky. Who among the potential lovers of the Twin Lotuses would really be scared to this extent?

But he also enjoyed chatting nonsense with Lingji to relieve his tension.

"I have an idea that may save us from disaster."

"Really?" Lingji looked happy.

"We just had a meal before entering the deep dream. If you feel like you're going to lose, it's best to poop right there. That way, those evil spirits won't be in the mood to eat you..."

Lingji's cheeks turned red, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The team moved forward very slowly.

Each time you move forward, there is a race and a cook-off.

They watched as starving ghosts or evil spirits turned into food and were eaten by the evil spirits in the audience.

Except for the evil spirits that were eaten, the rest, even the onlookers and the starving ghosts who did not get any food, were all reveling wildly.

Only Wu Xian and Ling Ji were unable to fit into this fanatical atmosphere, so it was an extreme torment for them.

I don't know how much time had passed, but it was finally their turn to go on stage.
