Pokémon, but cultural invasion.

"Little Qishu, this is a cruel game."

"Wait, so only you can hear me when I speak?"

"Otherwise, what, you'd think you could tell on me after it's already in your stomach?"

Qi Shu suddenly had a new idea. She opened her phone, placed it next to the microphone, and turned the volume up to the maximum.

"I'm dedicating a song, 'Super Volt,' to you."

"You're not at peace even after you're inside my stomach."

Quanshu's brow twitched, and he blended into the auditorium where the main group was, despite the electronic music playing.

"A counterattack from food."

"I'm dying of laughter, go listen to the songs in Quanshu's live stream."

"You have so many clever ideas."

Since people were constantly coming and going in the auditorium, the blue-hatted Pikachu's entrance wasn't unusual.

The auditorium was bustling with activity as the dojo masters each found a corner to question each other about their identities.

The crowd gathered together, and the Crested Tsubasa controlled by Izumi Tree overlapped with the Pikachu.

Without anyone noticing, he pressed the skill button again. Since there was almost no eating animation, the overlapping Pikachus didn't notice that someone was missing.

Lulina's live stream chat exploded.

"Oh no, why is the screen black?"

"I just came from next door. Quanshu is an ancient moon bird. He mixes in with the crowd and eats people."

"Is this even possible?"

"Wait a minute, Lurina is a Mimikyu, wouldn't she be finished if she got eaten?"

Lulina was a little confused. She was still planning to trick Xiaoju into going out and cut her up, but how did she suddenly end up in the belly of the Ancient Moon Bird?

"How did I get eaten?"

"Lulina, you're in too?"

Qi Shu asked in surprise.

"You...were eaten too?"

Lulina was surprised to find that there was already someone inside the Ancient Moon Bird's belly. She asked, "And why is there singing inside the Ancient Moon Bird's belly?"

Qi Shu said smugly, "This is a scheme I came up with specifically to torment him. Pretty clever, right?"

This music can only be heard by Izumi and the players he consumes, making it highly targeted.

"...That's a good idea."

Whether she could get out alive was another matter, so Lulina naturally wanted to vent her frustration a little: "Then I'll sing a song too."

A fatal duet resounded from Quanshu's belly.

"Fast forward to the concert inside Director Quan's stomach."

"His expression changed; he frowned. Qi Shu's method really worked."

"You can't beat them in games, but they come up with one crazy idea after another. Qi Shu is truly amazing."

The music did cause trouble, but it didn't affect Izumi's plans.

He followed suit and indulged in a feast in the auditorium. Who would get to eat among the crowd was anyone's guess; it all depended on luck.

Every thirty seconds, an innocent Pikachu will enter the belly of the Izu Tree.

Cynthia: "What's going on?"

"Welcome, welcome! What is your identity, Sister Zhulan?"

As the first one to enter the stomach, Qi Shu automatically took on the role of host.

Considering that they had already been eaten, it didn't matter if her identity was exposed, she said, "Slowpoke."

After hearing the two explain the duet, Cynthia smiled and decided not to torment Izumi anymore.

Thirty seconds later.

Little Chrysanthemum: "Why is the screen gray?"

"Welcome our fourth guest," the three greeted each other warmly.

Xiaoju'er's identity is the sheriff, and in the next thirty seconds, as Daigo, the messenger of justice, is eaten, the barrage of comments is completely silent.

"The good guy has both knives and two mysterious mummy-like creatures inside his belly, making him invincible."

"Why haven't you noticed that there are fewer people?"

"There's nothing we can do, someone's gone out on a mission."

"You can even play cards inside the spring tree's belly, this game is really interesting."

As time went on, someone finally noticed that something was wrong.

At this moment, only Quanshu, Xiaoxia, Wanlong, and Axing remained on the field.

"Have you all noticed? Everyone's gone."

Xiaoxia, whose identity is Galar Pikachu, felt a little scared. "And from the beginning until now, have you heard any faint music? To be honest, it's really scary!"

Wanlong nodded and said, "Sometimes when I pass by the auditorium, I do hear it; it might be background noise from a game."

Quanshu instinctively covered the microphone. He wasn't wearing headphones, and the sound of a bunch of speakers playing in his stomach seemed to have picked up some of the noise from the speakers through the microphone.

"The belly concert has been discovered."

"It's a pity we've lost all the knives, otherwise we could have given Quanshu a C-section and she could have so many babies."

Ah Xing calmly said, "Quan Shu and I spend most of our time in the auditorium, while Wan Long and Xiao Xia occasionally wander outside, but we haven't found any corpses."

"So one of you two is an Ancient Moon Bird."

Quanshu was stunned. He had been lingering in the auditorium eating people, and because of his frequent appearances, Axing mistook him for a teammate.

With only four people left and someone still protecting him, Quanshu was naturally able to rest easy.

After the bell rang, Xiaoxia was voted out.

She was almost frantic: "Wait, I'm Galar Pikachu, that's why I've been wandering around outside alone!"

"Isn't this a gift to Gu Yue Niao?"

With his dying words, the game entered the Ancient Moon Bird moment, and Izumi easily devoured the remaining two.

"You ate nine of them; Director Quan has a really good appetite."

"Gu Yue Niao is truly invincible, the most fun character ever."

"I think it was alright. Although Director Quan won the game, he was forced to listen to a whole game of mixed music."

"He remained calm despite the noise; he deserves to win."

Chapter 151 Turning Black into White

Two rounds of the game have already been played, and even the spectators have experienced the charm of the game itself, not to mention the gym leaders who are deeply involved.

Especially the Mystic Hill identity; once you've randomly encountered it, it's hard to forget the thrill of using any means necessary to win, hiding your identity and racking your brains to assassinate other players.

As the third round began, the players' attention did not wane at all; on the contrary, they became even more focused as they became more familiar with the game rules.

Map: Fog Cave.

"What a small world!"

Izumi saw his identity card clearly—Galar Pikachu—and at the same time saw the Strange Tree at the edge of the screen.

Having been born in the same position for three consecutive games, before he could even express his gratitude, Qi Shu was already on edge.

"Don't come any closer!"

He shouted into the microphone from a distance, and Qi Shu was really scared. He encountered him twice in a row, and neither game was a good experience.

That reaction is like that of a good person.

Izumi stroked his chin and said with a grin, "Let's not beat around the bush, this one really is Galar Pikachu."

"If my body is discovered, the person who calls the police will definitely be the murderer, understand?"

Are you Galar Pikachu again?

Qi Shu laughed in exasperation; this was indeed a suitable identity to reveal at the start.

If you coordinate with your teammates beforehand, the worst outcome of going solo is a one-for-one trade, and you'll gain a huge advantage whether you trade Mimikyu or Crescent.

However, it was Izumi who said this, and she simply didn't believe it.

Having never heard the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," Qi Shu said sullenly, "Fine, I'll remember it."

Without showing any intention of approaching the spring tree, she lifted her leg and walked to the other side of the cave.

Unexpectedly, a golden Pikachu, Kiku, hopped and skipped along the other side.

The strange tree, caught in the middle, sensed something was wrong. The little chrysanthemum, whose identity was unknown, was clearly more dangerous than the spring tree that claimed to be Galar Pikachu.

If neither of them are good people, then she has nowhere else to go but to wait for death.

Little Ju'er had already grasped the essence of the game, and as soon as she appeared, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "I'm a really good person!"

Once all three are within each other's line of sight, it's not easy to make a move even if Mimikyu is mixed in.

After switching identities, the three decided to head towards the central area to complete their mission.

Qi Shu claimed to be the Telescope Pikachu and passed the test through the wall, while Xiao Ju'er claimed to be the Sheriff, but this could not be verified.

After taking only a couple of steps, I heard the sound of rushing water coming from the bottom of the screen.

The map design of the Fog Cave is advantageous to Mimikyu, as an underground river runs through it from north to south, and corpses thrown into the river will be washed away by the water.

Fog would occasionally roll in, obscuring IDs and making it difficult to see the road ahead.

As they approached the underground river, a thick fog enveloped every corner of the screen.

The three of them formed a huddled formation, ensuring they remained within each other's line of sight.

Then they heard the dragging sound of a heavy object rubbing against the sand and gravel.

"Is someone dragging a body?"

Quanshu caught a glimpse of a dark figure dragging something along at an extremely slow speed.

“I slapped him.”

Xiao Ju'er got excited. The thing she wanted to do most after getting the identity of sheriff was to use her knife. If she electrocuted one person, she would make a killing; if she electrocuted two people, she would make a killing.

The other person disappeared around the corner.

"There's nothing for the three of us to be afraid of. Let's go together."

With her superior numbers, Qi Shu felt a strange sense of confidence welling up inside her. The process of apprehending the murderer was thrilling, and she exclaimed excitedly:

"His knife should still be in CD. Maybe we should go get the body and call the police."

The two of them shot off like arrows, and before Quanshu could stop them, Xiaojuer took the lead and crossed the corner.

"Watch out for blocking your line of sight!"

Quanshu had only shouted halfway when he saw Xiaoju'er's body lying face up on the ground, her upper body exposed at the corner.

It's perfectly normal for these people who haven't played games much to get ambushed and killed by being out of sight.

Seeing the precedent set before him, Qi Shu stopped in his tracks, turned around and said awkwardly, "Please go first."

"This time his knife is truly deadly, I don't know what you're afraid of."

Quanshu sighed. Just then, the fog cleared, and he turned the corner to see the killer's ID—Rika.

The method of the crime was too clever; the identity was exactly what he had anticipated.

Seemingly aware that her ID would be seen even if she ran away, Rika stood still.

"Oh, so it's Miss Rika."
