Chapter 113: The Mad King

"Hey! Are you crazy!?" The two looked at him in shock.

All around, the cries of the Guaishou rose and fell; if things continued like this, it would undoubtedly become a carnival!

Hundreds of kilometers away from this place, the sounds of gunfire and artillery had already begun.

"What are you talking about?!" In the dark Hotel, that man ran to the throne, pointing at that group of twisted, physically repulsive Guaishou.

Their viscous bodily fluids left disgusting trails on the Hotel's red carpet, and their massive, strange, or bloated bodies scurried everywhere.

"These things that should go to hell, you don't actually want to live with them, do you!?"

The man stared at the middle-aged man with an expression of disbelief.

"Don't be a fool, make them go back!!"

The middle-aged man, however, glanced at him sideways, his tone revealing sorrow amidst his anger. He sneered:

"They are indeed a bunch of shitty things; no one would like these freaks.

"But do you understand? There is a group of even shittier guys in this world! They use the advantages of their own kind, use their understanding of their own kind, to suck the marrow from the bones of their own kind!!"

The man was stunned into silence, and at this moment, the woman also stepped forward, shaking her head frantically:

"Su Jia, we know it hasn't been easy for you, living isn't easy for anyone, but believe me,

"Everything will get better, okay?"

"Get better... Hahaha!" The middle-aged man scoffed, waving his hand in anger:

"I am already 46 years old!

"You don't understand, I have had no future for a long time. To treat the labor-related injuries left over from work, I spent almost all my remaining savings. But what then?

"Some worms in the hospital, the fees they demand are getting more and more expensive!!!

"My illness isn't cured yet, and they are about to suck me dry!

"Those bastards up there are all in the same gang! When I was young, they squeezed my labor and stripped me of my energy.

"When I got old, they still wanted to find every way to hollow out the family assets I worked hard to save for them!!

"Mortgages and car loans, milk powder money, tuition and fees for cram schools—I work for them, and I still have to pay for my own medical expenses to heal my injuries, damn it! Not only that, I paid the money, and they still want more! They call it:

"If you don't want to die, or become disabled due to illness, pay up!

"If you don't want your child to lose at the starting line, pay up!

"If you don't want your child to fall behind after the start, pay up!

"But when I get old, and my child reaches the 'finish line,' they will start exploiting him!

"When will this ever end?!"

There was pain in the middle-aged man's eyes, and his powerful voice left the man and woman speechless—the economic situation of this world over the past decade or so was not optimistic.

But in the end, his gaze calmed down, carrying a sense of relief:

"This is fine, we don't have to continue, we can all rest, we are all liberated..."

Having said that, he finally uttered the 'lines' he had been brewing for a long time, declaring loudly:

"Devils and Guaishou from the Different Space... or whatever you are, the permission you crave to travel to this world, I shall grant it!"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, ignoring the shouts of the two beside him, and was about to issue the "permission" in his Identity as "King."

According to the content of the Ritual, if he, this newly enthroned "King," acknowledged the power of these Guaishou that came from the Different Space.

Then they would surge into the world without obstruction, turning this place into a paradise that belonged solely to them!

The man and woman looked at this scene in horror, wanting to stop it, but not knowing what to do.

A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face... but he soon discovered that he could not speak.

What was going on?

In astonishment, the middle-aged man lowered his head—he suddenly felt that there was some strange "thing" inside his body.

"Ugh..." He on the throne suddenly covered his Mask, but the next second, he could no longer hold back and screamed, looking up!

!!!

The harsh scream seemed to make the Guaishou already reveling around them even more violent!

But the middle-aged man no longer cared about that; at this moment, the Mask on his face seemed to have suffered some kind of impact, falling off and landing on his knees!

"???" The man and woman beside him were completely bewildered by this scene, not understanding what had happened.

They then saw:

The middle-aged man's body suddenly trembled as if a mass of water had been disturbed! On his face, another person's face was gradually growing!

That face was quite young, and once it appeared, it quickly occupied the middle-aged man's features.

His body even twisted and deformed in an unnatural way!

When the middle-aged man returned to normal, he had changed from a middle-aged man in his 40s into a young man in his early 20s!

"Hey!?" This sight completely stunned the other two, and for a moment, they did not know how to react.

It seemed that suddenly, something beyond their understanding had happened to Su Jia!

The young man's body and face stabilized; seeing this, the two looked at each other and asked cautiously:

"Uh, Su Jia? What happened?"

The young man on the throne heard this and suddenly raised his head.

"My name is Ding Mo... I think?"

His tone seemed somewhat confused,

"I think... Ding Mo..."

Hearing this, the woman among them was suddenly startled: "You, are you that Ding Mo from the basement?"

"Hmm?" Ding Mo, who had completely replaced the middle-aged man, seemed to have a confused expression at this time:

"I don't know. Do you... know me?"

"How could this be... weren't you just in the basement? We only just saw you when we took the Mask! What... what is going on with you? You were clearly just a face, what did you do to Su Jia!?"

While the woman was astonished, the man suddenly realized something; his expression changed, and he pointed at Ding Mo, saying:

"So that's it, you really are the previous 'Prince'! You left behind a contingency plan and usurped Su Jia's body!"

"What a ruthless method!"

"?" Ding Mo looked at the two of them, puzzled.

What happened? Why am I here? Why can't I understand a single word they are saying? Right, why is the area all around filled with Guaishou?

A look of utter confusion appeared on Ding Mo's face.

"What exactly do you want? Do you want to destroy the world too?"

Facing the interrogation, Ding Mo ignored them; instead, as if he had sensed something, he lowered his head and picked up the Mask resting on his knees.

This familiar Mask made him freeze.

Instantly, a profound memory of sharing hardships with a petite female was awakened.

"Ugh..."

A headache! A violent headache!

Ding Mo and Chu Chenfeng—the two names began spinning in his mind again, as if two segments of memory were fighting, struggling for something!

Wait a second, why did he feel it was "again"?

"Ahhhhhhh!" Soon, the "struggle" between the two memory segments became increasingly intense, and Ding Mo couldn't help but clutch his head and scream.

"Who am I exactly!?" His perception had become confused!

"What?" The other two were stunned once again by his sudden actions.

Then, their eyes widened.

Because Ding Mo, seemingly unable to bear the torture of the pain, actually grabbed his own neck with both hands and twisted it with force,

snapping his own head in the terrified gaze of the two!

Crack!

Ding Mo's head turned 180 degrees, the back of his skull reflecting in the bewildered eyes of the man and woman, and at the same time, he went quiet.

He... died?

The two looked at the figure that had slumped limply onto the throne, unable to help but show astonishment once again.

What on earth was going on with all of this?

"Forget about him, he's just a lunatic!" The man was the first to snap out of it, and as he spoke, his gaze turned toward the Mask at the corpse's side.

"The most urgent matter is to end this Ritual!"

"You're right, then..." The woman replied, and just as she was about to say that she would leave the Mask for him to wear, she suddenly froze.

A strange sound came, and she turned her head in a daze.

Beside her, the man who had been perfectly fine just a moment ago now had his face suddenly twisting, his whole body trembling violently!

On his face, another face began to grow!
