On the vast expanse of sandy beach, countless sacrifices were running at the top of their lungs. They ran until their orifices bled, their respiratory tracts felt like they were burning, and their bodies sent out alarms, but they refused to stop.

These offerings looked at the beautiful moon and fireworks in the sky, and a trance-like and relieved smile stretched out from their bleeding lips.

As long as they get out of here, they will be completely free.

Outside, a beautiful world where there will be no more pain is waiting for them!

In front, the servant of Yuchuan, who was standing on the fire tower, was watching the escaped sacrifices with indifference. He picked up the phone and said, "Master Yuchuan, the sacrifices have already escaped from Luming County. Should we lower their anchors to them now?"

"Send them down." Yu Chuan's voice came from the phone, "Be careful not to let them come into contact with the old sacrifice that has escaped. The adults of the seven major families are hunting now, so don't let them down."

When the servant heard the seven major families, he turned around and looked at the mountain.

From a distance, only a little fire could be seen at the shrine. The servant standing on the fire platform did not report the fire, but smiled and said, "After tonight, the Kitahara family will be completely removed from the list of the eight major families, right?"

Yusen also smiled and said, "I will watch the Kitahara family burn to ashes."

"Master Yusen... don't you need to take part in the hunting of the old sacrifice tonight?" the servant asked hesitantly.

"No need." Yu Chuan raised his lips, "Because the most valuable sacrifice is already in my hands."

"Tonight I will sacrifice him to the evil god."

“Swoosh—bang—!”

Huge fireworks rose from behind the viewing platform and exploded at the highest point of the mountain. Under the colorful light of the fireworks, one could see the members of the Yusen family on the top of the mountain holding weapons and walking down toward the shrine in a vigilant manner, while the Kitahara family who had been surrounded at the bottom of the mountain ran to the top of the mountain in panic.

"We are about to enter the shrine." The man who was leading the team of boatmen turned around and shouted at the people behind him, "Tighten your leather and cover your eyes."

"If anyone accidentally sees that corpse and turns into a monster, don't say I didn't warn you in advance!"

"yes!"

The man from the Yufu family took out a thick black cloth from his pocket in a well-trained manner, then raised his hand to cover his eyes with the black cloth and stepped into the territory of the shrine.

The leader took a deep breath and said, "Master Yusen said that the sacrifice Bai Liu has been sent outside the shrine. What we need to do next is to capture the sacrifice Bai Liu and bring him in for sacrifice. Then our mission for tonight will be completed."

"Hurry up. After the night festival at the Funa Palace is over, other adults will bring their own old sacrifices for sacrifice. We must complete the sacrifice of Bailiu before then!"

On the path down the mountain.

"Hurry!" The servants shouted tremblingly, "Ladies and lords of the Kitahara family, please tear off your clothes and cover your eyes!"

"We're almost at the shrine!"

"Please don't open your eyes. If you see the evil god in the shrine, you will either become a sacrifice and go crazy and commit suicide, or you will become a monster and be hunted!"

The people on the mountain walked cautiously, exploring left and right, while the people at the foot of the mountain crawled staggeringly. They all closed their eyes and approached the shrine, with expressions of fear and panic on their faces.

Bai Liu, who was standing in front of the shrine, stood with his hands behind his back, approaching Bai Liu little by little. He smiled with a smile on his face: "What an interesting scene."

"Everyone is closing their eyes for their own desires, stumbling towards the evil god they worship every day but are extremely afraid of."

The moment Bai Liu finished speaking, the whip behind him suddenly pulled out and swept towards Bai Liu.

Bai Liu raised his hand to block, and a dagger appeared in his hand. The dagger inserted into the buckle of the bone whip, and Bai Liu hit it inward, circling the whip and moving it downward. Bai Liu was forced to let go of the whip.

He took a half step back, and the whip in his hand disappeared. When he raised his hand again, the whip reappeared. Bai Liu swept the tail of the whip towards Bai Liu, and while sweeping, he turned the whip, and the bone spurs spread out.

There was no expression on Bai Liu's face. He turned the dagger in his hand, turning it into a monkey claw. He grabbed Bai Liu's bone-spurred long whip with his bare hands and pulled it hard towards himself. Bai Liu, who was holding the whip, was pulled towards Bai Liu.

As he fell, the bone whip in Bai Liu's hand disappeared again. He turned around and dodged, avoiding Bai Liu's monkey claws that were attacking the fatal points on his neck. Then when he turned around again, a long whip appeared at his waist and he swung it towards Bai Liu's face.

Bai Liu dodged to the side, and the monkey's claws grabbed Bai Liu's shoulder, leaving four shocking scratches.

Bai Liu covered his instantly reddened shoulder and stepped back. He looked up at Bai Liu across from him and suddenly laughed: "Should I really say that you are worthy of being the one who can make the evil god suffer so much that he walks out of the temple?"

"You are much better than me."

Bai Liu looked at the injured Bai Liu with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Is this your first time to clear a dungeon?"

"It was released so quickly." Bai Liu smiled. "'Evil God Festival: Houseboat' is indeed my first dungeon, but I'm curious. My performance just now doesn't look like that of a novice player. How did you infer that?"

Bai Liu just looked at Bai Liu straight in the eye. He did not answer Bai Liu's question directly, but his eyes dropped to the bone whip in Bai Liu's hand: "If this is your first copy, then you have not completed the game, and there will be no item reward."

"How did you get this bone whip?"

"How about a one-for-one exchange?" Bai Liu looked at Bai Liu with a smile, "You answer my questions and I answer yours."

"You have no skills, so this must be your first time playing the game." Bai Liu answered calmly and straightforwardly, "Now it's my turn. How did you get the bone whip?"

Bai Liu raised his lips and shook the black bone whip in his hand: "Aren't those the only ways to get items in the game?"

"The first one is a reward, and the second one is dropped by killing monsters."

The smile on his face grew bigger and bigger: "In the evil god festival in my world line, I got the key, entered the shrine map, and found the evil god NPC."

"But I didn't feel any pain when I faced Him, so I couldn't awaken the evil spirit."

"However, this evil god NPC has a face that I really don't like. It reminds me of a very annoying person I met in real life. In addition, this NPC doesn't want to wake up, so I can't advance the game. So I am very unhappy to use this sleeping evil god NPC to review what I did to that person in real life."

"Then the bone whip fell out of His body."

Bai Liu seemed to understand something in an instant. His expression became calm. He slowly opened his eyelids and looked directly at Bai Liu, asking word by word, "Did you cut him open and pull out his spine?"

"You could say that." Bai Liu shrugged, "I was originally planning to take some of the other things he dropped, but they were all too fragmentary and looked useless, so I just threw them there and didn't want to take them."

"But it will grow back the next night, or be refreshed, so I cut open the roots for many days before choosing the most complete one."

Bai Liu raised the bone whip in his hand with a smile, tilted his head and looked at Bai Liu: "How is it? Looks good, right?"

Xiao Kui, who was standing aside and didn't dare to approach, glanced down the mountain with a frightened expression. She turned to look at Bai Liu and suddenly said, "Bai Liu! The people from the Beiyuan family are coming up!"

Sota also hurriedly ran down from the top of the mountain, tumbling and crawling: "Master Bai Liu, the people of the Yufune family are also coming out of the shrine!"

When Sou Tai ran in front of Bai Liu, he looked back and forth between Bai Liu and Bai Liu in astonishment, his eyes blurred into two circles: "Huh?! How come there are two Bai Lius?!"

Xiao Kui held her forehead in silence and said, "Is it possible that this guy's memory is not completely integrated?"

Bai Liu stared straight at Bai Liu across from him, his tone colder than ever before: "Souta, take Kitahara Xiaokui and her sister along the side path. I told you about this path. It's the path I sometimes take to go to the shrine."

Sota immediately came back to his senses: "Yes!"

"Over at the boathouse, both the old and new offerings are fleeing." Bai Liu slightly shifted his gaze and glanced at Beiyuan Xiaokui with the corner of his eye. "Beiyuan Xiaokui, your sister is someone from the Beiyuan family who contacted you and wanted to lure you out, but whether she really wants to save you, you should be able to judge for yourself, right?"

Xiao Kui took a deep breath and held her sister's hand tightly: "Yes!"

"Your sister and you are both safe." Bai Liu continued, "You will encounter many other sacrifices during your escape. If you want to save them, use your sister as a link to help them change their escape route."

"That way they won't run into the anchors that the boatmen have arranged for them."

Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked at Beiyuan Xiaokui: "But this world is not as beautiful as the people of the Beiyuan family taught you."

"Besides these anchors, there are many others who would deceive you and feed on your pain."

“It’s a cruel world.”

Kitahara Xiaokui replied tremblingly: "I know."

Bai Liu hummed calmly, turned his head and looked at Bai Liu who was retreating and trying to go into the shrine. He raised the whip slowly and said, "I'm glad you know."

"Then learn to live for those who do not feed on your pain, but who will make you cry in pain and cry in pain for you."

"They are the idiots you learn about in your textbooks who can give you a good life."

Xiao Kui raised her head in astonishment. She looked at Bai Liu chasing after Bai Liu and heard his last words:

"Take Souta with you and run away."

Xiao Kui didn't know why, but tears fell down. She choked up and answered, not knowing which question she was answering:

"I will."

"I will, Mr. Bai Liu!"
