To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 868 - 477: Complicated Game_2

After a few mental turns, Wu Wei said, "So that’s how it is, those people want to mess up this competition, huh?"

"Hmm, and then there are those who want to profit from this competition, those who want to gamble, and those who want to become famous. It’s said that wherever there are people, there’s a society, but a good old mahjong game has been turned into this, which is really a headache," Liuzi sighed.

"It’s a second-dimension game," Hakurei Silver Dream muttered.

"It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same," Liuzi continued while playing with her hair. "Wu Wei, you must have seen it too. The forums are basically unreadable now, filled with useless information. There’s also a group of people in the game targeting seed players like you, simply not wanting the game competition to proceed smoothly."

"Those people deserve to die!" Hakurei Silver Dream said bitterly.

"Calm down a bit," Liuzi advised. "Right now, we’re outnumbered. I don’t even know where they managed to hire so many experts, who are all tough to deal with. We can only hide here now."

"Yet, you are the ’Spirit Vessel’ champion, Mr. Liuzi. Isn’t there anything you can do?" Hakurei Silver Dream asked hopefully.

"Don’t think of me as all-powerful," Liuzi said helplessly. "Xiemen Waidao and I have been playing ’Please Come In, Guest’ all this time. Although the game’s learning curve isn’t steep, some card sets still require strength. Unfortunately, our strength just isn’t enough to break out." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"What about using my card..."

"Forget about it," Xiemen Waidao rejected Hakurei Silver Dream’s suggestion. "Card set skills have limitations. Changing owners would weaken the bond too much, reducing the effectiveness of the skills."

As Hakurei Silver Dream was racking her brain and still thinking of ideas, Liuzi suddenly made a quieting gesture.

The four of them held their breath and looked toward the doorway, but aside from the sound of sewage treatment outside, they heard nothing.

But then, the iron door of the safe house was kicked open, and a man holding a mahjong box walked in.

He was a towering man, nearly over two meters tall, his muscles exuding an oppressive force.

On his shoulder, a short man sat curled up like a monkey, smiling slyly at the players here.

Seeing this guy, Wu Wei couldn’t help saying, "It’s been a while since I’ve seen the Hulugu Brothers looking so lifelike."

"What are those?" Hakurei Silver Dream couldn’t help asking.

Wu Wei gave Hakurei Silver Dream a puzzled look and then said, "They’re the infamous villains from the classic manga ’Yu Yu Hakusho,’ martial artists who became demons for power. As someone in the second dimension, how do you not know this?"

"Such an old manga, who knows about that!"

"I know about it," Xiemen Waidao said. "Kurama was the man of my dreams. Finding out he was male had me crying for three days."

"I always had a hard time forgetting Karasu, that broken beauty is too alluring."

Despite the looming danger, the three of them still discussed the appearance of the newcomers, showing the calm and composed nature of seasoned second-dimension fans to Hakurei Silver Dream.

Soon after finishing their chat, they noticed something.

The newcomer had no ID.

This meant that he wasn’t a player but an NPC in the game.

Although they didn’t know why an NPC would come here, from his actions and demeanor, he was surely not here for pleasantries.

Indeed, after entering the safe house, the massive man coldly blocked the doorway, and the man on the brawny man’s shoulder cackled a few times and then said to those present, "Let’s see what you’re made of."

Noticing no one moved, the monkey-like man scratched his own hair, shedding a large amount of dandruff.

Rubbing his chin, he looked at those present and said, "Don’t you know what that means?"

"How would we know? It’s not written in the help manual," Hakurei Silver Dream said irritably.

"Strange, I thought you were running away like professionals, thought you were colleagues. Never mind, you don’t know, but it doesn’t matter, you’re going to die anyway."

This statement carried a chilling sense of danger, and the sly smile on the newcomer’s face sent shivers down the spine, making Hakurei Silver Dream keenly aware that he was not a good person.

Afterward, she watched as the burly man opened his mahjong box, revealing the translucent, bone-like mahjong tiles within.

Thin wisps of black air seeped out from his mahjong tiles, transforming into horrifying skulls in the air and emitting terrifying screams.

Hakurei Silver Dream couldn’t help but step back, only to find that Xiemen Waidao excitedly stepped forward.

"What is this, it looks quite dangerous," Xiemen Waidao asked excitedly.

"You have a good eye," the Monkey man replied with satisfaction, "It would be a pity to kill you, are you interested in becoming my disciple?"

"I’ll pass on that, I still have a mission to complete, and I must complete it."

"Too bad. These mahjong tiles have been tainted by the Demon Lord, they are the key to dark mahjong. Unlike the regular mahjong you play, you can’t refuse dark mahjong, and the stakes are not money but..."

Pausing for a moment, the Monkey man revealed a sinister smile and said fiercely, "but your lives."

His eerie expression, coupled with his fierce tone, made the Monkey man look like the ultimate boss from a horror movie, easily capable of making children cry all night.

His tone and expression indeed frightened Hakurei Silver Dream, almost making her scream.

However, to Wu Wei and the others, it was just impressive NPC performance, which soon excited them.

Gathering together, the three of them whispered among themselves.

"This must be a hidden storyline, absolutely a hidden storyline!"

"I knew this game wasn’t as simple as it seemed! No wonder our instructor hesitated so much in the beginning, this game can actually kill people."

"But why would this NPC come to us, it couldn’t be because we look good, so he wants to make us his minions?"

"Xiemen Waidao, I must remind you this is a serious game made by Fang Cheng Studio."

"It’s still rated eighteen plus though."

"Let’s just ask him directly."

Wu Wei looked up at the two people at the door and said, "I would like to ask, why have you come to find us?"

"Just bored and felt like killing someone," the Monkey man honestly replied.

"You’re quite honest."

"Just average," the Monkey man said modestly, "Anyway, you’re all going to die, so being honest doesn’t matter. There are four of you here, allowing me to play a couple of rounds. Have you decided who will go first?"

Xiemen Waidao and Liuzi exchanged glances.

With one look, they understood each other’s thoughts and walked toward the Hulugu brothers.

Watching the two approaching, the stalwart man expressionlessly got up and then unfolded the table he was carrying.

This was a table made of unknown white bones, the tabletop a massive skeleton revealing sinister fierce lights in its eyes.

After arranging their positions opposite the house, Xiemen Waidao and Liuzi suddenly found themselves merging with the chairs, white bone spikes piercing through their bodies, fusing them with the mahjong table in front of them.

The Monkey and the stalwart man were no exception; they too were bound by this mahjong table.

Unlike Xiemen Waidao, the Monkey man’s face showed an intoxicated expression, enjoying himself before he stated, "As you can see, this thing devours the blood of the losers. And if either of you two fail, it counts as both sides failing. The game is simple, each person starts with eight thousand health points, and whichever side ends with zero health points fails. Remember, this thing really sucks blood."

The Monkey man looked at Xiemen Waidao and Liuzi teasingly, but the two just indifferently glanced at the Monkey man and said nonchalantly, "Cut the chatter, let’s start."

Observing this scene, Hakurei Silver Dream felt the complexity of the game increasing more and more.
