The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1037 Waiting for the rabbit
"You actually know!"

No! You knew all along!

Zhu Lin's mother, the shadowy figure that bound her daughter into a puppet with strands of hair, suddenly let out a low growl, her voice filled with uncontrollable resentment.

"Of course, I know."

Liu Sheng nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"No wonder...no wonder...you haven't succumbed to despair..."

The figure murmured, as if finally realizing something.

But then he realized something was wrong and his voice became shrill:

"No! When did you find out?"

"let me see……"

Liu Sheng tapped her chin with her index finger, pretending to be thinking.

"She knew about it back when she was at our local health station."

As the room filled with the smell of disinfectant mixed with the stench of blood, a faint voice rang out, its echo lingering in the air.

"Oh, right, Dr. Liu is really smart."

Liu Sheng smiled gently.

Although she couldn't clearly see where the sound came from, she just knew it.

This comes from Dr. Liu, the one whose head they had originally snapped off on the spot.

"so early?"

The figure above was also stunned.

“Of course, but I didn’t fully understand at the time,” Liu Sheng said slowly, “until I saw those rows of shelves with those jars on them—the specimens you had personally ‘treasured’.”

"Fortunately, Dr. Liu is a person with a penchant for tidying up. Although it is old and the labels are almost blurred, I am able to restore them."

The other party asked in disbelief, "How...how did you do that?"

Liu Sheng did not answer, but continued calmly:

"When the restoration was completed, all I saw were familiar names—Zhou Mingde, Wang Hai, Li Qiuju, Huang Hao..."

She paused, then slightly raised her eyes.

"These jars... contain them, right?"

"To be precise, this is the whole village, right?"

As her voice faded, a moment fell silent, as if only the air remained frozen inside a glass jar.

Liu Sheng took a deep breath.

"This village has no name, and everyone lives peacefully like this, simply because it was formed from the obsessions within these jars. They gather here, living unknowingly, repeatedly experiencing disintegration..."

"Do you think I can succumb to despair in a life like this?"

"Since you knew, why did you still come in?" Zhu Lin's mother asked. "Why did you willingly enter...this floor?"

Liu Sheng's gaze slowly shifted to the window.

The setting sun, a hazy, never-ending golden hue, resembles a faded photograph, or a view through a formaldehyde-filled, old glass jar.

This layer is the deeper, more mysterious realm.

They never left the health station.

They just went deeper and deeper step by step.

She actually had the opportunity to leave. Since she knew the truth, why did she still end up here?

"because……"

“I don’t want to lose some people who are important to my friends, uh, to be precise—the Ghost Mouth.”

"what?"

The two voices overlapped.

Liu Sheng's reason surprised the other party.

I didn't even understand it.

Liu Sheng smiled faintly.

"My goal has never changed."

"Your daughter, Zhu Lin, is a very promising child. And Yingzi, Tiezhu… aren't all the people in this village new humans? They're all very special." "If not, Dr. Liu, you wouldn't have chosen to keep them as… specimens, would you? You must have your own plans."

A faint laugh came from the background.

"right……"

"However, you ruined my plan—you let Zhou Yi, this perfect host, go."

The voice gradually grew cold.

The murderous intent almost solidified into a tangible form.

A squelching sound came from the soles of my feet.

Unseen flesh crawled and surged beneath the floor, the walls, window frames, and lampshades of the room trembled slightly, and blood seeped from the ubiquitous cracks, sliding down with gravity.

pat.

pat.

The next instant, the entire room was like a towel suddenly wrung out; blood burst in the air, flowing down the walls, the corners of the table, and even the air itself, dripping like a waterfall.

The seemingly endless twilight outside finally turned a bright red, as if light was shining through glass coated with a thick layer of blood, creating a blood-red afternoon sunset.

Even Zhu Lin's mother felt pressured by this change.

The congealed black net contracted repeatedly, with thick drops of blood dripping onto it.

"Liu Ziyu! What are you doing?! This is mine!" she roared.

"Is that so, Zhu Yun?" Dr. Liu sneered. "I thought you were giving up because you were hesitating to make a move..."

"Isn't this a roundabout tactic? Can't you see how strong she is? If you could handle her, she wouldn't be standing there like this! You damned treachery should make her obey!"

"So I've always been the one putting in the effort, and you've just been reaping the benefits without doing anything?"

"Didn't I try my best?"

"Heh, that's called hard work... I'm the one who's working hard! I've always been the one working hard! I've worked hard to protect everyone! But you've ruined everyone!"

"You call this security? Pshaw!"

Before they knew it, the two had started arguing.

Hair grew wildly, hanging down from the roof, spreading across the ground, and deeply embedding itself in the surrounding blood-red hue.

Flesh and hair were tangled together, seemingly confronting and threatening each other, yet inevitably twisted together.

For Liu Sheng, this was exactly what she wanted to see.

She smiled slightly, as if watching a farce:
What are you arguing about?

"What does it matter who was right and who was wrong back then?"

"You know shit!"

"What do you know!"

Zhu Yun and Liu Ziyu shouted at Liu Sheng at the same time.

"Since you insist on arguing about who's right and who's wrong, why don't you all come at me together?" Liu Sheng said calmly. "Let's see who can possess me."

That's stated openly and honestly.

This, in turn, aroused suspicion in both of them.

Zhu Yun's hair froze in mid-air, and Liu Ziyu's blood mist also paused for a moment.

"Something's not right. You were being very resistant in your words, so why are you suddenly telling us to take your body?"

"Old Liu, something's definitely up. Be careful."

“But aren’t you all in a hurry?” Liu Sheng asked.

"This trial has a seven-day time limit, and it's almost over, isn't it? If you don't hurry up, how much longer will you have to wait?"

These words immediately pierced my vitals like an awl.

Both sides fell completely silent at that moment.

Liu Sheng continued slowly:

"A year outside, here—that's a cycle. A lifetime, how many years is that? I don't know."

"How many people are left in this trial space now? I don't know, but I suppose there aren't many."

"This space is so vast, how many people will accidentally wander here? Even if they do come here, can you really handle those with stronger cultivation? You still have to plan and take things slowly."

"You've been waiting patiently for this 'rabbit'—me and Zhou Yi—and now you're willing to let it go?"
