In the room at the end, Wang Ao was currently facing Lu Ce, who was on the edge of losing control.

Originally, when the door was suddenly kicked open and his headache was unbearable, Wang Ao instinctively wanted to bare his teeth. But as soon as he saw it was Lu Ce, his body instinctively shrank back, and he didn’t show his teeth anymore.

However, he had already been pinned to the wall, and Lu Ce, using terrifying strength, lifted him up. The moment those hands grabbed him, Wang Ao felt a strange sensation, one that made him no longer want to resist.

Resisting was futile.

The Gluttony Mask—the more you ate, the hungrier you got, and the more you ate, the more you wanted to eat. Meanwhile, the level of mental confusion also deepened.

Wang Ao stared at the mask in front of him, feeling inexplicably as if the person before him wanted to swallow him whole!

This wasn’t a metaphor; it was a real feeling!

"Heh heh... Big Brother, calm down, I’m not tasty... You can ask whatever you want," Wang Ao said, trying to keep his composure.

That feeling of being preyed upon was a deep, instinctive fear rooted in his genes, stirring an unconscious desire to survive.

"I hope you can satisfy me."

Wang Ao was slowly put down, not daring to say a word. He thought to himself, that person you met at noon... seems to have been me.

But in this situation, he naturally didn’t dare to argue or remind Lu Ce. If he did, wouldn’t that be totally insane?

Lu Ce took out a knife from his hand, a sharp blade, and pointed it at Wang Ao.

"After I’m done asking questions, we’ll play a game... Heh heh."

"In hospitals, donating sperm is legal, so why is it illegal to privately donate it to someone I want?"

"They say bananas and carrots help clear the intestines. Do you think it’s for oral use or external use?"

"If an adult novel is about minors, can it still be called an adult novel?"

"You’ve prepared five cups of water, and a hundred million leaders arrive. How do you plan to distribute it?"

Wang Ao: .......

Lu Ce’s mouth kept firing questions like a machine gun, as if doing so would help calm his chaotic mind.

But Wang Ao was trembling, unable to say anything. His lips quivered as he stammered, "I don’t know who the most seriously ill person here is, maybe there is no such person..."

"Don’t push me..."

【: Hiss... Even though the masked guy has been babbling non-stop, don’t you think Wang Ao’s mind is really becoming more stable?】

【: Yeah, he’s being pushed to the brink. But so what if he’s stable? He hasn’t asked anything useful yet. Just here, babbling.】

【: Honestly, even though the stream of this big shot looks exciting, it seems totally meaningless to the game. He doesn’t even care, how’s this going to end?】

【: We’re about to get useful info, but he’s just rambling. Honestly, we’ll see how it ends in the game, it’s really all about watching Kirk!】

【: For real, I’m going to watch Kirk. He seems to be looking for Jiu Tian. Only the reliable ones matter.】

As time passed, nearly a full day had gone by in the game.

For the games that had been more normal before, one day wasn’t short at all.

But here, it seemed like there was no progress, and the viewers started expressing dissatisfaction. This "supposedly very strong" perfect completion player, it seemed like his brain was really messed up, blending in with the mentally ill.

It looked like he hadn’t contributed to the game’s completion at all, and might even be a side effect!

At this point, with some reminders, the audience had become aware of Kirk and Jiu Tian meeting.

Jiu Tian was sitting in a hospital room, looking at a drooling, babbling guy, when suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"Hello."

With standard Chinese pronunciation, Jiu Tian’s body jolted, and he quickly turned around, only to see a foreign face.

"Oh, Mr. Kirk..." Jiu Tian said as he turned around. "Why are you in my room?"

"The game rules don’t say two people can’t be in the same room at once," Kirk said, hands in his pockets, speaking arrogantly. "Also, you’re from China’s special department, right?"

Jiu Tian: ......

He hesitated, wondering if he could share such things with a foreigner. Although he claimed to be official, his background was clearly even more significant.

"Don’t worry. With your country’s strong organizational structure, you’ve probably already established related departments. This kind of thing will definitely be made public soon."

"Judging by the information you have, it must be the most comprehensive. Our background, as well as our performance in the game, shouldn’t have escaped your eyes."

Jiu Tian nodded and openly admitted, "Yes, it’s for the better game."

"I’ll give you a piece of advice: don’t get too close to the mentally ill."

"Eh?" Jiu Tian froze, then looked around. The patient didn’t seem to pose a threat, so he said,

"Thanks for the concern. But I’ve been very careful, keeping a safe distance."

"No matter the temptation, my psychological endurance is okay. I won’t have a problem."

Kirk’s expression was stern, and his face remained emotionless as he said,

"I’m not talking about them."

Jiu Tian: ?

In that instant, he understood. "You mean the masked man? What about him?"

"Nothing. I still have a lot of things I haven’t figured out. The information we have now is too little."

Kirk briefly said, then turned to leave, exuding a hawk-like arrogance.

"I’m going to get the perfect completion in this game. You still have some use. Conserve your strength, stay alive."

"When I figure it out, I might need you."

After speaking, he left, closing the door behind him.

Jiu Tian furrowed his brows into the shape of the Chinese character "川", feeling unsettled for a long time.

【: Hahaha! As soon as the mental illness topic came up, Jiu Tian immediately realized who it was about.】

【: Jiu Tian: Who’s mentally ill, I can’t tell?】

【: Is this infighting? Seems like Kirk isn’t very friendly.】

【: Makes sense though. The masked guy has been dragging the team down.】

Amid the viewers’ discussions, the first day’s dinner passed by.

【Game Over. Please return to your initial room to rest, players.】

As the familiar voice rang out, a door immediately opened, and a figure seemed to leap out like a fish, staring vacantly—it was the last remaining female player.

Her clothes were disheveled, her eyes were vacant, and there were bloodstains on her face.

After the door to the initial room closed, the remaining four players looked at each other. The female player suddenly ran to the corner of the room and, looking pale, vomited violently!

As Jiu Tian was about to ask something, the female player directly pulled out the game token, said nothing, and exited the game.

The first day, from the surface, showed no progress, still mysterious and unclear.

And the players? Only three remained!
