Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 772: Box of Death
Wu Xian and Ling Ji were under a lot of pressure.

Because they had been observing for a long time but still couldn't find the rules of this life-and-death competition.

The most likely scenario in the game is a direct fight, but before the fight both participants will be completely transformed into food and fight as food.

The rest of the game has no rules.

Running, long jump, dice rolling, truth or dare, rock-paper-scissors, one-two-three-wooden, go, checkers…

Occasionally there are multiplayer games such as tug-of-war and musical chairs.

This made it impossible for the two family members to find patterns to prepare in advance, and their life and death depended entirely on luck.

But just as the life-and-death test was about to approach, the two suddenly couldn't help laughing.

When Wu Xian was chatting with Ling Ji, he thought of the historical records, so he said, "If you defecate before being eaten, you may be able to escape."

The two family members knew that this was nonsense, but the starving ghosts in front and behind them listened to it.

Between survival and food, a starving ghost will definitely choose food without hesitation.

But if there is no food, the starving ghost would still like to live a little longer.

Therefore, starting from the five starving ghosts before Wu Xian, once they begin to realize that they are going to lose, they will defecate quickly and efficiently. No matter where the excrement comes from for these starving guys, they can just defecate and it smells very bad!

As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became weird.

You have to know that the circular area in the middle is a competition field, a cooking pot, or a huge evil plate for food...

The two chopsticks were no longer decisive in picking up food, and the desires of the evil spirits in the audience were also subsiding. Only the starving ghosts who were still queuing remained fanatical because they could not get any food.

But even so, neither the huge evil spirit whose true face had been seen nor the evil spirit in the audience did anything to break the rules.

This made Wu Xian feel relieved. It seemed that the womb of the starving ghosts was subject to certain rules that even the evil spirits partying here could not violate.

Finally, it was Wu Xian's turn.

He walked onto the field and there was a thump with every kick.

The floor of the circular venue was made of metal and had a frosted texture, somewhat like a grill pan in a barbecue restaurant. The residual heat that had not yet completely dissipated made Wu Xian's lower body feel hot.

"Choose me, I will treat you gently!"

"Let me play, I can definitely give a wonderful game!"

The atmosphere in the audience became fanatical again. Eyes shot over like knives. Compared to shriveled starving ghosts, fresh humans, even if they smelled a little, were more palatable.

Two little ghosts in chef uniforms were already waiting with the lottery bucket in their hands. If Wu Xian did not choose an opponent within a period of time, the evil spirit that had not participated in the competition for the longest time would take the stage.

Wu Xian waved his fingers in the audience, and wherever his fingers pointed, the evil spirit would roar excitedly.

The competition items are currently unknown, so it is not safe to pick someone who looks stupid or someone who looks weak.

As for the weak and stupid ones...

That treasure-like opponent had already been chosen by the starving ghost in front.

"Well...it's you."

Wu Xian's fingers stopped.

The evil spirit chosen by Wu Xian looked about 80% like a human. At this moment, he was holding a crab leg and biting it. The evil spirits around him were drooling at him. After learning that he was chosen, the evil spirit was stunned for a moment, then stared at Wu Xian with hatred, and it seemed that fire was about to spit out of his eyes!
Just a few minutes ago, he was just an ordinary starving ghost, standing in front of Wu Xian.

Because he won the game, he turned his teammates into boiled hairy crabs and sat in the audience seats with a quarter of them.

According to the normal process, after he eats all the crabs, he will become a completely different being from an ordinary starving ghost.

But I didn’t expect that I would be chosen by Wu Xian just after taking two bites.

Looking at the evil and angry eyes, Wu Xian's mouth corners slightly curled up.

If there is any evil spirit present who does not want to participate in the competition, it is only this one. Anger will make it emotionally unstable, causing it to make wrong actions, which is beneficial to Wu Xian's survival.

When the evil spirit walked back to the venue, Wu Xian discovered that compared to before, the starving ghost's ribs had grown three fleshy little arms, so let's call him the Eight-Armed Demon.

After the contestants were determined, Wu Xian and Ba Shou Sui drew lots respectively, and the one they chose in this round was "food".

The eight-handed evil spirit was whipping the 'tiger skin chicken claws', and his skin immediately became twitchy and wrinkled, and the whole evil spirit seemed to have turned into a sticky state.

Wu Xian drew the "Grilled Squid", so his curly hair turned into slightly curled squid tentacles, and the texture of his skin also changed.

This change does not affect the actual ability of both sides, but is just a hint of the outcome for both sides, increasing the psychological pressure on both sides of the game.

Next, it’s time to draw the competition items.

Although there are many different competition items, they are all social games after all. Judging from the intensity of previous games, Wu Xian would not be surprised no matter what it is.

But the unexpected still happened.

The little devil chef gave a sly grin, threw the box for drawing items directly to the ground, and took out a ball of paper from his hand.

"The competition item is, Mystery Box!"

All the evil spirits in the audience suddenly cheered loudly, and every evil spirit's face was filled with excitement and malice.

Wu Xian frowned and asked, "Wait a minute, you haven't drawn the lot yet."

But the little devil chef ignored Wu Xian's questioning and waved towards the backcourt. A group of little devil chefs ran out pushing two black boxes.

There were many irregular small holes on the outer walls of the two black boxes. The ghosts opened the boxes and stuffed Wu Xian and Ba Shou Sui into the boxes, leaving only their heads exposed.

Then the little devil chefs set up a long table and placed some strange things on it.

There were bowls of poisonous insects; there were small mad dogs in cages, drooling from their mouths, and they looked hungry for days; there were sharp knives, rusty nails, and boiling hot oil...

During the preparation, the little devil chef shouted out the rules of the game:
"Now both contestants are locked in the Box of Death."

"The two of you can take turns to select items on the long table in order. The selected items will be placed in the Death Box by us."

"There are still many alternative props. The game ends when one of you dies. The one who survives wins, and the loser dies!"

Wu Xian felt a little numb.

The nature of this game is completely different from the previous ones!
Obviously, this was chosen by the evil spirits specifically for him, a living person.
His previous judgment was wrong. The types of food the contestants turned into were indeed random, but the game items could be changed according to the will of the organizer.

When ordinary hungry ghosts compete with evil spirits, the audience is more eager to eat the loser, so the competition items are random, as long as the winner can be determined.

But faced with such rare "ingredients" as Wu Xian and Ling Ji, the evil spirits and Taichao Fang wanted to see the "cooking" process more!
