Who invited the witch into the eerie game?

Chapter 142 A Luxurious Banquet

An ancient sage once said, "Lust is also a kind of desire, and everyone possesses it."

Cartoonist Feng Quan firmly believes this.

He started out in Japan by drawing various hentai manga featuring beautiful girls, eventually becoming a bestselling manga artist with millions of copies sold.

On the day the bizarre game began, he had saved up hundreds of millions of assets to give to the goddess he had been pursuing for years before she finally agreed to be with him, only to be horrified to discover that she had turned into a monster covered in tentacles.

From then on, the wind dog was terrified, and his lust was frantically suppressed, almost driving him insane.

Until just now, he opened the gift the clown had given him.

There's no doubt, the agreement is real.

Therefore, upon seeing the binding, the lust he had suppressed deep within him overwhelmed his body like a raging flood.

"Wind Dog, what are you doing?" Sasaki Kojiro asked.

"They are so beautiful, I can't stand it."

Feng Quan said, "Sasaki, do you know? I've drawn countless famous hentai manga. No one knows better than me how to arouse their lust, even if I look terrible."

"Wind Dog, something's wrong with you," Sasaki Kojiro said. "Use your cards quickly."

"No, no, no."

"Sasaki, my friend, you're wrong," said Wind Dog. "I'm very clear-headed now, clear-headed like never before, rational like never before. This is the effect of the cards."

"I can stay rational, I can control my desires, I can unleash my desires freely, but they can't."

"Those who join the Tower of Desire will only sink into its slumber."

"...

"He's gone mad."

Sasaki Kojiro looked at the manga artist, Fuuin, and subconsciously made his assessment.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he grasped the key.

He understood the principle behind card protection.

It's all about replacing it with madness.

Without a doubt, the cartoonist Feng Quan has gone mad. Even if he believes he is rational and has clear logic, all of this rationality and logic are products of madness.

Judging from this guy's state, Sasaki Kojiro felt that the manga artist, Wind Dog, would pounce on either Wang Manman or Tomoyo.

The wind dog would probably think this is the Tower of Desire.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with indulging one's desires.

However, he did not forget that the Tower of Desire, like the Tower of Madness, was controlled by a strange demigod.

"What is he doing?"

The cook also noticed the situation.

"He controlled his desires with madness," Sasaki Kojiro said, frowning.

He didn't want this to happen either.

I finally met a fellow villager in this weird game, but he didn't do anything and just died. What kind of situation is this?

"He's going to be in trouble—" the wandering monk said. "Should we save him?"

"Can it be saved?"

Moriarty shrugged helplessly. "Regardless, his actions were valuable. He proved one thing to us: the cards the Tower of Madness gave us aren't as useful as they seem."

Thank you everyone!

Wang Manman finished performing three songs, elevating the atmosphere of the lavish banquet to its peak.

Ji Tiantian was having a great time taking pictures below, and most of her previous fear had been dispelled.

Not only that, but the thought of having 600 crystallized fears by the end of filming is also surprising.

She was even happier.

"Miss Robin, Miss Tomoyo—"

Just then, the voice of the cartoonist, Wind Dog, came through.

Wang Manman and Ji Tiantian looked over instinctively and saw an extremely shocking scene.

The cartoonist, Feng Quan, was seen walking and taking off his clothes, as if he couldn't wait to get completely naked.

"Come, ignite your desires and enjoy the pleasures of being human."

The windhound opened its arms. "You've joined the Tower of Desire, you must be feeling incredibly repressed, right? You must be worried about the terrifying monsters around you turning into their true forms, right? It's okay, at least I'm still human, and I can help you resolve your desires—"

Wang Manman and Ji Tiantian instinctively closed their eyes.

The next second, a strange maid responsible for protecting one of the two appeared out of thin air next to the cartoonist, Wind Dog.

With a flick of his finger, he plucked the wind dog's head off.

Before the body could fall, a pool of brown blood appeared below.

Brown blood covered the corpse in the blink of an eye, making it look like a little figure in an abstract painting being eroded by mold and gradually disappearing.

This scene looked extremely terrifying and horrifying.

The eerie maid didn't forget to release the head she was holding, allowing it to be swallowed by the pool of brown blood as well.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was clean again, as if there had never been a corpse.

There were no players driven mad by lust.

"Distinguished guests, everything is alright now."

The eerie maid appeared beside Wang Manman and Ji Tiantian and said...

"Thanks----"

Wang Manman and Ji Tiantian said.

A Sequence 5 player couldn't react at all before the eerie maid ripped off his head.

It's as if the strength of this Sequence 5 is fake.

so horrible.

Moriarty and the others, who witnessed this scene, fell silent.

"The maid who made the move is a strange demigod."

The cook felt heavier than ever before.

He knew Linus was in great danger this time, but he didn't expect it to be this dangerous.

Faced with the strange maid, the cook felt that he, a Sequence 4 demigod, was powerless to do anything.

Previously, he used every means to advance to demigod.

They believed that once they became demigods, their chances of survival in the bizarre games would greatly increase, and they would no longer have to live in fear.

At the same time, with the power of a Sequence 4 demigod, he can enjoy a status and power that allows him to command the wind and rain in reality.

However, everything that happened to Linus shattered the cook's confidence.

"Did I just get promoted to demigod for nothing?"

The cook had serious doubts about what he had done in the past.

To become a demigod, he sacrificed several of his close brothers, who had risked their lives for him, to the evil god, which is why he is where he is today.

Looking around, the guests attending the luxurious banquet at the Tower of Desire are all eerie bosses.

They might even be bizarre demigods.

How are so many bizarre demigods going to complete the mission of the Tower of Madness?

Could it be that the clowns of the Tower of Madness deliberately sent them here to die?

Main Quest Two: Fight for Freedom?

It's a fight for suicide, isn't it?

"Everyone, please settle into the banquet."

Moriarty said, "There must be special rules for lavish banquets, and we need to find those rules first."

Why are they protected by this strange demigod?

"I asked, Sasaki Kojiro."

It was important to figure this out; he didn't believe that simply joining the Tower of Desire would grant him the protection of a bizarre demigod.

If that's the case, why didn't they receive the clown's protection when they joined the Tower of Madness?

Instead, the clown tells them that this is when the Tower of Desire is at its most vulnerable.

"Let's see where they go."

The cook's gaze swept over Wang Manman and Ji Tiantian, preparing to see where they would go accompanied by the strange maid.

"What about our mission?"

"That's what the wandering mage said."

Under normal circumstances, failing to complete a mission received in a bizarre game can have serious consequences.

"Recall the task the Joker gave us."

Moriarty shrugged.

Aside from the cook, who was a demigod with some fighting ability, the intelligence of the others really worried him.

I've had smart teammates before; they could understand everything after just one simple hint.

But what about these few in front of me?

They're all pretty good actors.

Unfortunately, his IQ was insufficient.

At most, one cook might have a little bit of cleverness.

They knew that by using bread to form contracts with others, they could easily throw people out as cannon fodder in subsequent actions.

However, this contract can be broken with just one stand-in.

The cook probably doesn't know.

"The Joker didn't lead us directly to the ultimate goal of the Tower of Madness."

Moriarty said, "Therefore, we can still complete the mission by gathering enough intelligence at the lavish banquet."

""

The cook, the wandering monk, and Sasaki Kojiro nodded in agreement.

"Let's split up."

Moriarty picked up a glass of red wine from the table beside him and said.

"Wait, is the food here edible?"

"I asked the wandering monk."

"It's edible."

Moriarty gestured out of the corner of his eye toward the depths of the banquet hall.

The cook and the wandering monk looked over and felt completely distraught.

It was the pink-haired witch, the gray-haired witch, Su Xiaoshuang, and Feng Xiaoshi, who were happily enjoying the food in the banquet hall.

It's worth mentioning that the food inside seems to be several levels higher than what's served here.

If these two can eat, then they can eat too.

In addition, Lynas has a rule of eating three meals a day.

Breakfast was coffee, which they had already eaten.

It's lunchtime now, midnight mealtime, and I need to eat food containing the fears of others, such as noodles seasoned with fear crystals.

Wine made from fear, etc.

The red wine served at the lavish banquet was just what was required.

"To be on the safe side, it's enough to eat just one type."

Moriarty offered a reminder.

He was genuinely worried that his teammates would be wiped out in one fell swoop at the lavish banquet.

"Um.

""

The cook and the others nodded.

They looked at the food on the table, thought for a few seconds, and then each took a glass of red wine and took a sip.

"Our work is done."

Wang Manman and Ji Tiantian, accompanied by two eerie maids, arrived in front of Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi.

Without these two anime witches, they would really be dead.

Congratulations!

Su Xiaoshuang said while eating a small cake.

"Sit down and rest for a while," Feng Xiaoshi said with a slight smile, adding, "Don't eat anything here."

Wang Manman and Ji Tiantian, who were about to grab something to eat, were stunned.

Are they not allowed to eat the food at the banquet?

-

but----

"You really can't eat it."

Su Xiaoshuang said, "Every food here comes at a price. We can only eat like this after we've paid the price."

""

While eating, Su Xiaoshuang specifically looked up information related to the lavish banquet.

Simply put, the lavish banquet is a trap set by the Tower of Desire for players.

Every dish at the banquet came with a hidden price.

Once a player consumes something, the cost is locked and cannot be reversed.

Regardless of whether they pay the price, one day in the future, when players see certain things, they will experience an uncontrollable craving, and their inner desires will be amplified infinitely.

Then will be the time of harvest and joy.

However, lavish banquets are not entirely without merit.

If someone performs exceptionally well at the banquet and pleases Lady Rose, the player can ask Lady Rose to help them realize their deepest desires and turn those desires into reality.

Of course, this comes at a price.

For example, some players want Hatsune Miku, Luo Tianyi, Sakura Kinomoto, Nanoha Takamachi, Madoka Kaname, Mio Akiyama, Kanade Tachibana, Megumi Kato, Yukino Yukinoshita, Elena, Illya, Kaoru Wakuri, Mei Ning, and Fairy Zi Ling as their wives.

So, as long as the player pays an equivalent price, Lady Rose will be able to use the Tower of Desire to create these two-dimensional characters out of thin air for you, and then designate the player as her husband.

As for the cost?

Su Xiaoshuang didn't know whether the characters she created would turn into bizarre monsters.

Because it wasn't mentioned in the intelligence report.

However, what is clear is that even though these bizarre BOSSes possess incredible abilities, making a deal with them will almost always come at a heavy price.

After all, compared to the reputation of the eerie BOSS, the demon might have a slightly higher reputation.

"ah----"

Wang Manman and Ji Tiantian were startled when they saw the delicious food on the table.

Seeing how happily Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi were eating, they thought they could eat too, and it was almost time for their three meals a day.

These cannot be eaten, and the banquet will not end anytime soon. What should we do?

Su Xiaoshuang looked at the two strange maids.

"We will prepare special drinks for our two distinguished guests immediately."

A strange maid bowed and hurriedly said.

"I'm going to prepare a special dessert."

Another eerie maid added.

After the two maids finished speaking, they vanished from the spot in an instant.

They were so close to meeting His Highness's gaze.

In less than a minute, they brought out special drinks and placed special cakes on the table: "Please enjoy."

"Thanks."

Wang Manman and Ji Tiantian quickly expressed their gratitude.

These are foods imbued with fear, in line with Linus's three meals a day rule.

Lady Rose casually glanced around and saw Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi enjoying the banquet, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she waved her hand, signaling the band dressed as succubi to come onto the stage and begin their performance.

Tonight, the original purpose of hosting this lavish banquet is no longer important.

The important thing is that both princes must have a good time.

"Oh, right, they're here too."

Wang Manman said, "I saw them eating the delicious food at the banquet—"

"Um."

Su Xiaoshuang responded.

As someone with social anxiety, she is extremely sensitive to the presence of living people.

Su Xiaoshuang noticed Moriarty, the cook, and the wandering mage as they arrived and looked in their direction.

But you can't expect someone with social anxiety to remind these players that they can't eat the food at a lavish banquet, can you?

Besides, they've already started eating.

-

Especially Sasaki Kojiro, who seemed like he hadn't eaten rice in a long time.

He ate most of the rice balls and sushi on the table by himself.

Oh.

Su Xiaoshuang remembered.

The bizarre neon lighting on Earth has led to a severe rice shortage.

Regardless of which world this Sasaki Kojiro comes from, he probably encountered a similar situation, which is why he couldn't help but eat so many rice balls.

"Look, that Sasaki Kojiro, he—has turned into a pig—!"

Ji Tiantian pointed at Sasaki Kojiro, gasped, and exclaimed in surprise.
