Chapter 928: Chapter 928: Werewolf Village 25

The village was ablaze with a raging fire. Amidst the flames, what had looked like a village from a fairy tale had become a living hell on earth.

The villagers who escaped struggled to fetch water, while those trapped at home cried out in terror. The relentless screams filled the air; the village chief’s home was the first to be engulfed by the flames.

The little girl stood on the hillside, watching the sea of fire, the corners of her mouth quirked up as she bounced a ball.

“The Uto grass has bloomed,

The moon is also full,

Tonight we will not die,

Having eaten my flesh,

And drunk my blood,

Tonight we will not die…”

…

The beautiful village eventually became ruins.

As the sun rose slowly over the wreckage, a werewolf that had been imprisoned for a hundred years crawled out of the ground. Facing the light, it walked slowly up the hillside, and where it passed, the Uto grass silently spread…

…

Bai Youwei and Shen Mo returned to the A War Zone.

The Inspector there to meet them was not the Clown, but the Rabbit Gentleman.

Bai Youwei curiously glanced behind him and couldn’t help but ask, “Why is it you?”

“There’s been a little incident,” the rabbit-headed Inspector smiled. “Congratulations to the both of you, I will now carry out the game settlement for you.”

“This battle consisted of A and B War Zones, both of which have now concluded.

Number of players, a total of 10.

Surviving King 1, subjects 1, eliminated King 1, subjects 9, now deducting puzzle pieces from the defeated King…”

After the standard settlement speech, the Rabbit Gentleman said to Bai Youwei:

“You have passed Battle 20, Battle 10, Battle 1; the next battle, Battle 5, will be chosen automatically by the system for you. Please rest well, and in a month, come with the appropriate number of subjects to face the battle.”

Bai Youwei was disdainful, “With all these puzzle pieces I have, do I really need to participate anymore? Even if I lose the next battle, I can still enter the final contest, since, in the end, it’s all about who has more puzzle pieces.”

The rabbit-headed Inspector smiled slightly, “In theory, that’s true. However, if a King dies, the puzzle pieces they hold will be reclaimed by the system.”

“You always reclaim them like this… Wouldn’t that mean players can never hope to collect all the puzzle pieces?” Bai Youwei frowned, “No matter what you do, you can’t avoid death in the game.”

“All puzzle pieces reclaimed by the system will be used in the final contest,” explained the Rabbit Gentleman gently. “Please be assured, the system will not set goals that are impossible to achieve.”

Bai Youwei pursed her lips and finally stopped complaining.

The Rabbit Gentleman nodded at her, “Then, goodbye.”

As the Inspector’s figure disappeared, the surroundings also turned into a blank space, with only a familiar glowing square in front waiting for them to enter.

Bai Youwei and Shen Mo walked into the glowing square and returned to the familiar rest lounge, both of them heaving a sigh of relief.

It was over.

The third battle was over.

Just one more battle to endure before entering the final contest, making it feel like the long and distant goal was finally becoming clear after all the perseverance.

Shen Mo asked Bai Youwei, “How did you deal with Hans in the end? Why did a fire start in the village?”

“That fire wasn’t started by me,” Bai Youwei quickly disclaimed any involvement. “It was the work of that little girl; she was bitten by the werewolf kept prisoner by the villagers, effectively becoming part of the Werewolf Clan, just like in those vampire movies where being bitten turns you into a vampire, and they go on to afflict humanity together with their kind~”

Shen Mo replied, “I haven’t seen any vampire movies.”

Bai Youwei giggled and hugged his arm, “Then after we go back, how about we watch a vampire movie together, okay?”

“Okay,” he nodded and then asked again, “But how did you deal with Hans?”

“Oh, why are you so hung up on that?” she said exasperatedly, “I just helped the little girl steal the village chief’s keys and freed the werewolf in the basement. Then, in gratitude, the girl transformed into a werewolf at night and bit Hans to death! Anyway… I really didn’t do anything; as you know, I’m the type who can’t even hurt a chicken, and I can’t handle those bloody affairs…”
