The moment he crashed into the wall, Zhu Yan's heart leaped into his throat.
But nothing happened—
The next second, a foul stench enveloped him. As the scene shifted, Zhu Yan's hands moved faster than his brain.
Before he could even make out his surroundings, he violently threw a left punch, smashing into a small patch of white beside him.
The soft "ground" beneath his feet trembled violently. Waves of roars pierced through Zhu Yan's body, shaking his internal organs.
Meanwhile.
"Zhu Zeyu!!"
Yang Zhanbai gritted his teeth, desperately trying to rush inside, but the scene suddenly quaked.
Losing his balance, he fell to the ground.
The surrounding tables, chairs, and light fixtures shattered inch by inch. The bodies of those "children" silently burst like overinflated balloons!
"Fuck!" Yang Zhanbai cursed, staggering to his feet.
He didn't know what Zhu Zeyu had done inside, nor had he even processed the fact that the Hunter had been swapped.
But this flawless scene had indeed been torn open, revealing a rift—
It was a moss-covered stone path, completely out of place with the warm decor of [David's Kitchen], leading straight into the bottomless night!
Damn.
Just how did Zhu Zeyu manage that?!
Inside the giant mouth.
"What are you doing?"
It was a woman's voice, but the tone was blurry, mixed with the crying of babies.
"Why aren't you following the plan?!"
Zhu Yan laughed loudly as he pulled back his blood-drenched palm. It had initially been numb, but now it throbbed with intense pain, unable to form a fist anymore.
This was a long, cylindrical "tunnel." The fleshy walls undulated like waves, covered in clusters of white fangs.
Red eyes grew in the narrow crevices between these clusters of teeth.
When Zhu Yan had thrown that sudden punch just now, his left hand had been pierced by a cluster of teeth.
But the effect of [Humiliation] was excellent—
This giant mouthpart struggled to squeeze shut, but it remained powerless, unable to even touch the hair on Zhu Yan's head.
"Oh my, how strange."
The overflowing euphoria diluted the originally unbearable pain.
"I've already activated my ability, so how do you still have the energy to question me?"
He activated [Humiliation] and ruthlessly stomped on the soft flesh beneath his feet again.
Pushed to its absolute limit, the giant mouth shrieked and erupted.
A bizarre, long mouthpart darted out from the depths, lunging straight at Zhu Yan's face.
Yet Zhu Yan didn't even try to dodge. He simply opened his uninjured right hand toward those red eyes—
The mark of a bow and arrow was starkly visible on it!
The red eyes widened in unison. The mouthpart screeched to a halt, brushing past Zhu Yan's hair and stopping right next to his face.
"You—!"
The woman shouted blurrily, her voice thick with shock and fury.
"Me what?" Zhu Yan sneered. "I am the Hunter. Is that so strange?"
With a thought, he activated his ability, [Complaint].
This mouth was either the main body of the Solace Mother or connected to the main body of the Solace Mother.
With those few hits of [Humiliation] just now, the scene should have at least been shaken, right?
"Your own brain is full of piss, and now you're blaming me?"
Zhu Yan cursed, quickly turning his head to glance behind him.
The white wall had turned into a sealed red fleshy wall, similarly covered in fangs.
Good.
At least, that stubborn fool Yang Zhanbai wouldn't be able to get in.
"How could you be the Hunter?!"
The woman's voice seemed even blurrier, weaker than before.
"If you are the Hunter, then who is the one outside?"
"Impossible! Impossible! I clearly saw his mark!!"
"Shut up," Zhu Yan scolded. "Even a dog doesn't bark as much as you."
With a gentle flick of the level-five dining knife, he pushed aside the foul-smelling mouthpart next to his face.
Oxygen was scarce here, and Zhu Yan was already feeling his chest tighten and his head spin.
"Fake!!" the woman grew more hysterical. "Who exactly is the fake?!!"
There is only one Hunter.
The mark on Yang Zhanbai's palm was very clear; it definitely hadn't seen it wrong.
But now... now...
"Want to know? Then you have two choices."
Zhu Yan chuckled lightly, twirling the dining knife and pressing it against an eye nestled among the clusters of teeth.
"First, voluntarily make me a bowl of berry-flavored yogurt. I'll tell you everything and spare your life."
"Second, be forced to make me a bowl of berry-flavored yogurt. And then I'll kill you."
He could absolutely just kill the Solace Mother directly, but he still needed to get the [Yogurt Bowl].
He didn't believe the nonsense that "the ingredient for the berry-flavored yogurt bowl is the Hunter."
The Hunter was a human, so using a human should work too.
The patch of eyes he was pressing against began to tremble violently!
No matter how slow-witted it was, the Solace Mother knew it had been tricked.
Neither of these two players was any good.
They must have colluded, playing it for a fool this whole time!
But, why...
The Solace Mother wanted to think carefully; it felt like something was wrong, there were too many flaws.
However, its anger was stronger than its desire to think.
Those eyes stared intently at Zhu Yan.
That smiling face, that bleeding hand...
It was going to chew him into human paste!
"Hmm. Since you put it that way..."
The Solace Mother moved its throat.
This player's ability level was very high, so it didn't dare act rashly.
But it could still distinguish the difference between voluntarily giving the yogurt bowl and being forced to give it.
Voluntary meant it could live.
Forced meant it would die!
"...Of course, I am willing to give you a berry-flavored yogurt bowl."
Humans were berries.
If it used human flesh as an ingredient, it could only produce a berry-flavored yogurt bowl.
The Solace Mother was calculating shrewdly.
After giving Zhu Yan the [Yogurt Bowl], it would extract information about his abilities, then immediately retreat underground to find the Alpha Wolf.
It could definitely meet the Alpha Wolf before this player placed the [Yogurt Bowl].
When the time came, it would have the Alpha Wolf reject that bowl of yogurt, or think of some other dirty trick.
Either way, Zhu Yan definitely wouldn't survive!
Thinking of this, the Solace Mother's mood improved a bit.
It asked with a gurgling sound, "So, do you have human flesh? You can chop off an arm... that's the minimum amount of meat needed for one bowl of yogurt."
"Or, you can use that person outside..."
Zhu Yan did have some, of course he did.
Inside his ring, there was still a human leg lying there.
Originally, this leg was saved as food for the tuxedo cat.
But now, making the [Yogurt Bowl] was more important.
"I'll give you a leg."
Zhu Yan said decisively, the dining knife in his hand still pressed straight against those eyes.
Hilarious.
This Solace Mother didn't seem very smart either. Were all low-level thriller creatures this stupid?
Whether it was voluntary or not, once the [Yogurt Bowl] was in his hands, Zhu Yan was going to kill it anyway.
"Let's get this straight. When the time comes, you give me the yogurt bowl, and I'll immediately leave your mouth!"
Zhu Yan lied through his teeth.
"Where should I put the leg?"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
