"Yaga... save me... save me quickly..."

Koschei screamed hoarsely, his voice fluctuating, "I... am in pain..."

Yaga's face turned pale, and in the end, she shook her head stiffly, "I can't save you, brother. You have no cure..."

"Lies!!!"

Koschei roared, his deformed face filled with anger. He grabbed Yaga's neck like a pair of iron tongs, his deformed fingers tightening, "You actually want to harm me! You actually want to kill your only brother! You wretched woman! You..."

Yaga's face turned pale, and she couldn't breathe anymore.

She could only despairingly watch her mad brother, and soon, she weakly let go of his hand, giving up struggling. But immediately after, she was impaled on the deck by his anger, coughing up blood and struggling to breathe.

In the last moment, Koschei let go of his hand.

"Look, my dear, look at what you have done..."

He staggered back, his body disintegrating, turning into layers of rotten mud, piling up on the deck and spreading everywhere.

"I originally... wanted to protect you... we could have escaped to America together."

His twisted face was filled with pain and madness, leaving behind a muddy tear, "After I leave... after I leave... what will you do?"

Yaga stared blankly at him, not saying a word.

But Koschei staggered back a step, turned around, and looked at the stunned passengers. A familiar ferocity appeared in his eyes, one that Huai Shi was familiar with:

"At least... at least let you..."

In that instant, a surge of killing intent erupted like a tidal wave.

"Run!"

Huai Shi couldn't care about anything else and pulled Lily, running wildly out of the restaurant.

Immediately after, a black tidal wave gushed out from Koschei's mouth. Huai Shi only heard the deafening sound of glass shattering behind him, followed by a torrential storm, rain, and flood pouring into the entire restaurant with a howl.

Covering everything.

In an instant, the false peace and joy were torn apart, so easily.

In the storm's sweep, everyone felt a tremor in their souls.

Then, the rain and viscous black flood rushed towards them.

The black mud mixed within it, shooting like bullets, instantly harvesting a large number of souls in a scream. Then, the sticky mud fell to the ground, and faint figures struggled to crawl out of it, like evil spirits from hell, grabbing everything around them inch by inch, trying to drag them into the seemingly bottomless black mud.

In an instant, countless strange figures emerged: hunters with bows and arrows, soldiers in armor, priests with grimaces and staffs, and even women resembling witches...

The gates of hell burst open.

The sins and souls imprisoned within Koschei's body flew out from his open mouth, hovering in the air, as if to engulf everything.

"This old ghost wants to self-destruct?"

Huai Shi was dumbfounded, "Is he crazy?!"

What is he thinking? There is a cause for every grievance, and if someone harms you, go find them! Why drag a whole ship of people down with you?

But there was no time to investigate all of that now.

What Koschei released were all the sublimators he had swallowed over the past thousand years, which can be said to be his inventory.

Apart from the terrifying rumors, Koschei was most famous for his manipulation of souls. Besides hiding his own soul elsewhere, he also liked to devour defeated enemies to transfer his aging and injuries.

Now that death was imminent, there was no need for these tricks to prolong his life. It was better to release them as a field-type AOE, with terrifying effects.

Those who could withstand his digestion and survive until now were either the dark descendants with great backgrounds or the famous heroes. None of them were easy to deal with. Under Koschei's influence, the source material left behind by this group had been completely soaked in darkness and had become insane.

At this moment, they were like wild dogs let loose, biting anyone they saw, instantly causing a bloodbath.

Fortunately, Koschei was truly too old now, so old that he could barely lift a knife. If it were in his prime, his terrifying level comparable to a fifth-stage sublimator could have swallowed the entire ship in an instant.

Considering that a starved camel is bigger than a horse, no one could say for sure how much strength this old ghost still had at the moment of his death.

To be safe, it was better to be prepared first!

While running frantically, Huai Shi hastily pulled out Lily's waist bag, not bothering to distinguish what was what, and grabbed the syringes that Lily had prepared inside. He stabbed them into his neck without even looking at the labels.

One injection after another, in just a few moments, his neck was almost riddled with holes.

Various miscellaneous potions mixed in his bloodstream, spreading rapidly, and in an instant, the terrifying medicinal power mixed with burning pain, turning his eyes bloodshot.

Finally, the weakness and powerlessness that had clung to his limbs were dispelled.

Lily stared at him in astonishment, "What are you doing?"

"Taking drugs!" Huai Shi's hands didn't stop, "Trust me, taking drugs at this time is definitely not wrong! No time to worry about side effects..."

Lily was stunned, "But those are blue sleeping pills!"Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, then he stuffed the blue cans back in and stubbornly defended himself, "As long as it's medicine, let's not worry about it."

Powerful stimulants, willpower awakeners, recombinant fusion proteins of cytokines, silver blood potions, powerful artificial blood plasma... a series of potions were injected into Huai Shi's neck without blinking his eyes. The purple blood vessels on his face became more prominent, and the blood vessels on his forehead throbbed crazily, almost about to burst.

In the midst of the chaos, Huai Shi's hand trembled and accidentally inserted half a tube of holy water. Instantly, his eyeballs bulged out, and he let out a scream as burning blood mist sprayed out of his mouth, almost purifying himself.

During this crazy drug use, Huai Shi could feel the toxins in his blood vessels rising, but he managed to get rid of the weakened state with this pile of drugs, restoring about 80% of his combat power.

His speed increased.

But just as they were trying to avoid the dark rain on the upper deck and hide in the cabin, they saw the originally closed door burst open, and black water gushed out from it, trapping them in the corridor.

A hideous face emerged from the dripping mud, vaguely recognizable as Koseche.

"Wait!" Huai Shi interrupted him before he could speak, raising his hand to explain, "Old man, we have no grudges in the past and no enmity in the present, why..."

"Lies!"

Koseche roared, his voice sweeping in like a storm. The terrifying dark wind corroded Huai Shi's face, and countless flesh and skin rapidly grew, looking extremely gruesome.

"I recognize you, you and that gigolo... Where is that gigolo?"

"It's not me, I'm not him, don't talk nonsense!"

Huai Shi quickly waved his hand, "Look at my dignified appearance, do I look like someone who is in the same league as that gigolo?"

"Haha, a vampire..."

In the black mud, countless voices burst out, whether it was a shrill laugh or a roar, "A killer of the Holy Spirit lineage... actually claiming to be innocent!"

In that instant, Huai Shi leaped up, took off the hand axe from his back, and jumped towards the distorted face in the black mud.

In mid-air, he smashed a bottle of holy water on the axe blade. As a result, the axe, soaked in holy water, emitted a brilliant light in the dark wind.

The axe blade whistled past.

Instantly shattering the twisted face in the black mud.

Since they were going to fight, there was no need for nonsense!

Looking at the bottom compartment behind the cabin door, which was surging with black mud and countless struggling figures, Huai Shi's eyes turned red with anger: it was a miscalculation not to kill Yin Yan earlier, the troublemaker!

Then, a tearing sound came from his ear.

Ai Qing said, "Yin Yan has left."

"What? So fast?" Huai Shi pulled Haila and fled in another direction, "Who did it?"

"I don't know. Theoretically, there is only one player left in this game, you. But I think... this might just be a smoke bomb released by the KP."

Looking at the empty table in front of her and the smiling KP, Ai Qing calmly asked, "Besides me, there is at least one more player, right?"

KP asked in return, "How do you know?"

"Otherwise, this game would be too boring, wouldn't it?"

Ai Qing looked around at the empty chairs, saying calmly, "From the beginning, you have kept us apart, haven't you? You can hide our communication from me more than once, why can't you help others hide their situation? Moreover, it was just a tearing sound.

Now it seems that not only in the game, but sometimes what we see on the poker table is probably an illusion."

KP raised an eyebrow seemingly pleased.

"I have to say, your guess is very correct. As a reward... let me think."

After pondering for a moment, KP snapped his fingers. Instantly, a black figure appeared in front of Ai Qing, but the outline and face were not clear, and it was not clear whether it was a man or a woman.

But there was no doubt that the person was smiling and facing Ai Qing.

"I didn't expect that in the end, the two investigators who were the first to surpass the game and perceive cognitive disorders would stay. It really surprised me."

"I'm starting to look forward to the final result."

KP chuckled softly, "But before that... you'd better think about how to survive this disaster."

In that instant, Huai Shi saw that the fire sprinkler heads on the ceiling burst open, and black mud gushed out from them.

As the mud landed, countless figures struggled out of it and blocked Huai Shi's path.

Roars and howls.

There was no safe place on the entire cruise ship.

"Is this really an old man who can't walk anymore?" Huai Shi stared in shock at the terrifying scale, "Clearly, he's almost dead, how can his life be so stubborn!"

"No."

Lily looked at the struggling black mud with pity and said softly, "Koseche is probably... already dead."

The terrifying darkness that enveloped the entire ship at this moment was just the remnants left by the demon king.
