This actor is full of tricks.

Seeing how well-behaved the big-headed weirdo was, resident number 2 smiled with satisfaction. He looked at Lin Jue and the weirdo next to him: "What about you two, how do you choose?"

He seemed confident and certain that no monster could resist the temptation to become an extremely wicked villain.

Just as he expected, after hesitating for a while, the strange creature beside Lin Jue gritted its teeth and signed the contract, mimicking the big-headed strange creature.

Of the three contracts, only the one in front of Lin Jue remained.

"It's your turn." Resident number 2 gestured for him to proceed. In his mind, Lin Jue would never refuse.

However, the smile on his face froze the next moment. Lin Jue stuffed the contract on the table into his pocket, his face showing great displeasure: "Who knows if you will go back on your word? How about this, you take me into Building 1 first, and I will sign this contract then."

"I only let you sign the contract because I was being generous, and you still won't accept the benefits I offered? Don't be so ungrateful!" Gluttony slammed his hand on the table, making the marble slab shake as if it were about to shatter completely with his blow.

The woman looked Lin Jue up and down with interest: "It's hard to imagine that a monster could say such things. It's quite clever."

As she said this, she kept looking at Lin Jue's head, as if she wanted to take his head off and put it on her own body.

"Hey, he's a guest, don't be so rude." Resident No. 2 stopped Gluttony and the woman, tapping the table with his fingers: "To be honest, I admire you, but your lack of consideration is making things difficult for me."

"If you don't sign the contract, I'll have to ask you to leave. You can leave at any time, but you have to pay for your meal before you leave."

"I don't need much, just leave your hands and that annoying mouth."

By the end, the face of resident number 2 had turned completely cold. Having failed to achieve his goal, it was time to reveal his true intentions.

As he spoke, a murderous aura filled the air around the table, and all the residents stared at Lin Jue with hostile expressions.
[Scene 5: You attend the most prestigious banquet in the underworld, sitting at the same table as the most powerful predators. However, they seem dissatisfied with you and want to make you their prey as well.]

The script is nearing completion.

Even when facing five residents, Lin Jue's expression remained unchanged; instead, a smirk appeared on his lips: "Making things difficult for you?"

"Then don't do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and overturned the table, scattering cutlery everywhere with a loud crashing sound.

The sudden table-flipping caused an immediate silence. The residents of Unit 2 clearly hadn't expected Lin Jue to be so audacious, or perhaps he was so arrogant that he didn't know what fear was, daring to flip the table in the face of five powerful enemies.

The resident in room number 2 stared at the shattered dishes on the floor, his face twitching violently. The smile on his lips vanished: "Kill him."

The woman and Gluttony didn't move, but the two strange creatures rushed straight at Lin Jue. Now that they had just joined forces with Resident Number 2, it was time for them to show their skills.

"You two are really stupid. Can't you see that these three aren't the same kind? They're living people!" Lin Jue calmly stepped back, revealing the identities of the three residents of Unit 2. From the moment he met resident number 2, he had suspected that the other party wasn't a ghost, and after just getting to know them, he had confirmed that they didn't belong to the mist, but were living people from the real world.

Moreover, these three guys are most likely patients at that mental hospital.

Resident number 2 suffers from symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder, the woman has somatic symptom disorder, and the outer circle manager is described as bulimia, so she may suffer from bulimia nervosa.

These are all mental illnesses. If only one of them had a mental illness, it would be understandable, but if all three of them have a mental illness at the same time, then it can only prove that they are fellow sufferers.

Lin Jue's harsh attitude was not only due to the murderous intent growing in his heart, but also partly due to the identities of the residents, including resident number 2.

After reading his predecessor's diary, he found it difficult to put on a friendly face when facing these patients from the mental hospital.

"Are they alive?" The two strangely charging bodies froze instantly.

"Little brother, you have good eyesight. I just feel like there's something wrong with my eyes. I'll gouge your eyes out and put them on me in a bit." The woman chuckled, completely unconcerned about her identity being exposed.

Before the contract was signed, I might have cared, but now that two ghosts have signed the contract, their lives are in their hands. It's a five-on-one situation now, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

She didn't believe that a thin, weak student could cause any trouble.

Upon hearing the woman's words, even the most foolish of the two ghosts realized something was wrong. They bared their teeth and glared at resident number 2 with intense resentment: "Are you really alive? Are you lying to us?"

“Who told you to be so stupid? A mere mythical legend has you all flocking to it, handing your lives over to someone else.” Resident No. 2 shrugged. “Even if you realize it now, it’s too late. The contract has been signed, and you can only obey orders.”

After saying that, the two eerie creatures groaned and black blood spilled from the corners of their mouths. Clearly, the second resident had used the power of the Netherworld Contract to inflict a small punishment on them.

Both of the supernatural beings felt aggrieved. Being supernatural beings and having to obey living people was indeed humiliating for them, but the power of the contract completely bound them, and even a C-rank could not resist it.

They were at the mercy of others, like fish on a chopping board, and had no choice but to obey.

After realizing they had been deceived, the two eerie, resentful creatures filled the room and charged at Lin Jue with reckless abandon, seemingly determined to vent all their hatred and frustration on him.

"He's hopeless." Lin Jue shook his head, and the tetanus blade hidden in his sleeve slid into his palm, slashing at the two hands that were reaching out to grab him.

"What kind of strange weapon is this?" The two ghosts were forced to retreat as they were slashed. They managed to dodge in time, but their palms were still cut open. An indescribable power was growing in the wound, like maggots growing on rotting flesh, slowly devouring their flesh and blood.

The key issue is that they simply cannot erase this power. After its evolution, the Tetanus Blade has become much faster at devouring. In just the short time that the two ghosts were stunned and shocked, it swallowed a bloody hole in their hands.

The big-headed monster picked up a piece of meat that had fallen to the ground and swallowed it. C-rank monsters can heal their injuries by devouring flesh and blood, but to his surprise, the force was preventing his wounds from healing, and the bloody hole was growing larger and larger.
