Chapter 112: Chapter 106: Flowers Fall and People’s Hearts Break

This was Old Wang’s tactic.

Now everyone understood why the man in gold-rimmed glasses had told Ward that the old man held no killing intent toward him.

Because this old immortal was only interested in the female Chosen Ones.

So to speak,

Could it be that every twisted psycho in this villa had their own specific "prey"?

A cold sweat broke out in the heart of the Cherry Blossom people!

If their Miss Naiko ever encountered this old man...

The consequences were simply unimaginable!

The only saving grace was that Old Wang didn’t seem to take the initiative to leave his room.

Only the Chosen Ones who came knocking on his door would catch his attention.

So that’s how it was~

This kaidan, ruthless enough!

Just this rule of delivering food had taken out so many Chosen Ones.

The method of ’Tongue-Cutting’ was almost the same as Old Wang’s.

Likewise, the streaming room would go dark the moment a Chosen One entered his room.

The only difference was, his mortality rate wasn’t 100%.

Many Chosen Ones who went in to deliver food disappeared without a sound, and no dreadful screams were heard as from Old Wang’s room.

But!

The death rate still hovered around 50%, and Tongue-Cutting didn’t discriminate between genders!

By that count, the mortality rate might be even higher!

Those who did survive were almost all crippled.

Chosen Ones who went to deliver food around eight in the evening wouldn’t be released by Tongue-Cutting until six-thirty the next morning.

And their bodies were a horrific sight to behold, if not dead, then gravely injured.

Moreover...

The number of people who committed suicide after coming out of Tongue-Cutting’s room made up half of the survivors.

With that, the death rate skyrocketed to 75%.

The remaining 25%, judging from the looks of things, were as good as finished.

Half of that 25% seemed to have gone mad.

Drooling and laughing foolishly...

Ruined, utterly ruined. Alive, yes, but surely they wouldn’t last the full five days.

Those Chosen Ones who came out alive had clear marks around their mouths. Obviously, their mouths had been gagged.

So it wasn’t that they didn’t want to scream, but that they couldn’t.

Recalling that Jiang Xiao from Dragon Country had seen some objects in Tongue-Cutting’s room...

Most already had an idea in their hearts.

Perhaps the torture that the Chosen Ones underwent in Tongue-Cutting’s room was even more painful than at Old Wang’s place.

And now, for the alluring queen Yao Han...

Here...

How should I put it?

In contrast to Old Wang’s extreme, Yao Han only killed male Chosen Ones.

Moreover, dying by Yao Han’s hand was relatively quick and clean!

After all, although the viewers held some resentment towards her, it was nowhere near as intense as their hatred for Old Wang or Tongue-Cutting.

After all, Yao Han did subject the male Chosen Ones to a bit of "torture,"

But who told those Chosen Ones to go rubbing up against her of their own accord?

They could’ve just left after delivering the food.

But it can’t be helped; faced with such a beautiful woman, sneaking a few extra glances was understandable.

Especially since Yao Han’s cutesy act wasn’t the least bit creepy.

Getting sucked into that...

Forget it, forget it, it’s not a bad way to go!

Compared to Old Wang and Tongue-Cutting, Yao Han was practically gentle to a fault, wasn’t she?

And she had even reached the level of a prison guard.

After all, the ancients have said it before, "Beauty needs no justification."

Aside from these three massively destructive bosses,

Those few oddities downstairs weren’t ordinary cannon fodder either!

Take, for instance, the story that unfolded between the man in gold-rimmed glasses and Ward.

A-Zhi targeted only same-sex, similarly aged, and relatively handsome Chosen Ones.

On the surface, it seemed like a trade...

But if you rejected him,

In the span of a single night...

Those who were meant to bloom could no longer flourish.

A-Zhi, satisfied, sauntered off with his steel pipe, his face a picture of bliss.

"Chrysanthemums shattered, damage widespread, the smile on your face has long since faded~"

"True: Intestine-breaking Song!"

Fortunately, most of the Chosen Ones dealt with by A-Zhi didn’t die.

But...

That’s the situation, and that’s the mortality rate.

Everyone saw it with their own eyes; except for Dragon Country, everyone’s hearts were in knots.

Damn it all!

Kaidan, why is it getting stronger and stronger?

By all logic, it should be: strong, weak, weak, next-strong, weak, strong, weak, weak...

Actually, this time it really should have been a weak Kaidan, and very likely one below five-star.

But Jiang Xiao, with a reverse alchemical exchange, forcibly maxed out the intensity!

He was indifferent, but the rest of the world was cracking apart.

Even the proud Lighthouse started getting anxious.

So far, their Ward seemed to be out of life-threatening danger.

But according to the data analysis by the clearance experts,

the chances of Ward surviving five days were only one in over eighty million, maybe even less.

Let’s not mention that for now only one Achi has come to bother Ward; the big players to come haven’t made their moves yet.

And there’s still that hanging ghost that hasn’t appeared...

There’s also a mysterious little room left unexplored...

Aside from Dragon Country, at this moment, all other nations were like ants on a hot pan.

"Should we, perhaps, swallow our pride? In the face of a major enemy, it’s time we put aside our arrogance."

A high-ranking Lighthouse council member voiced his opinion.

But he quickly faced plenty of rejections!

Of course, there were those who supported him, albeit very few.

"We Lighthouse have never been weak! It’s just a temporary setback; why should we bow?"

"My point is, a little bow, a little submission, it’s not surrendering to them, and if possible later on, we might even get something useful from them, after all, they have Jiang Xiao..."

"No way! Just wait! In the next Kaidan, our Chosen will definitely draw a powerful talent! We are the only superpower!"

Their pride was not to be trampled!

The Lighthouse’s strength was etched in their bones; Dragon Country thought they could make them bow with just a Jiang Xiao, clearly they weren’t qualified!

Seeing the stubborn stance of these old fossils, even the younger factions within Lighthouse were helpless.

It was clear to all with eyes.

For Lighthouse to befriend Dragon Country now would definitely be more beneficial than harmful.

It was merely about providing some cutting-edge information.

If Lighthouse fell later, the bargaining power in negotiations would only diminish further.

Eh...

Some have sat in their positions for too long without moving, turning their brains silly.

Truth be told, many in Lighthouse envied those small nations that had aligned with Dragon Country.

With such terrifying mortality rates from the Kaidan, nations were frantically accelerating efforts to build relations with Dragon Country.

Only a few had not moved.

Of course, even if they did, would Dragon Country care to respond?

Looking at the information before him, Director Wang was utterly overwhelmed.

And this was after the experts and professors had trimmed it down to a concise version.

"Xiao Xu, didn’t you review this with them? What were the main findings?"

The short-haired big sister hesitated before replying uncertainly.

"Seems like it’s the heart?"

"The heart?"

"Heart!"

"What do you mean?"

"We think the most critical point of getting through a Kaidan is the heart; the more scared you are, the more terrifying it becomes!"

That...

There seemed to be some truth in that; wasn’t Jiang Xiao the example?

Elsewhere, it was all either tearjerkers or horror films.

No, no, that was too one-sided. Not everyone was Jiang Xiao. Anything else?"

"Yes! Again, it’s the heart!"

Ah?

Seeing Director Wang’s bewildered face, Xiao Xu continued.

"Seems like the supernatural entities also have hearts. Take the old Wang, who loves to study; when Jiang Xiao entered the room of Severed Tongue, he went to knock on the door. Why do you think that was?"

"What else could it be, that old pervert couldn’t bear Jiang Xiao lending him ten volumes, in case Jiang Xiao died at the hands of Severed Tongue then..."

Director Wang stopped mid-sentence; it seemed he had an epiphany.

"These materials before us?"

"Exactly, these materials are all quite... interesting."

Director Wang casually flipped through them, finding many were materials on Jiang Xiao.

A lot were detailed analyses from his second "Daddy, Where Are You Dead."

This caused Director Wang to blush somewhat, feeling ashamed their own Chosen was not as diligently and thoroughly researched as others’.

"Alright, go on out. I’ll take a closer look at these materials. And remind those experts to keep a close eye on Jiang Xiao, such a disgrace!"

Xiao Xu nodded, and while organizing the materials, indeed many elder experts were blushing.

Feeling they had not been paying enough attention to their own Chosen, Jiang Xiao.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiao had a run-in with Severed Tongue.

"You’re not letting me cook anymore? Oh, my goodness, this job was so hard for me to find, nowhere else would have me, you can’t take away a starfish’s only job, that’s exploitation!"

The mute was about to cry, babbling non-stop, almost to the point of popping the words out.

Ancestors?

Who would dare to exploit you?
