Death League 101: I'm Dead In 10 Minutes!-Chapter 81: “Midnight Hunting Spree (55): Human Sacrifice”
Smarter veterans obviously chose skulls that looked more like a woman’s skull, but they couldn’t be sure whether the guardian spirit was a woman or it just appeared so because it possessed a woman.
"Otomen Lover" smiled at the veterans’ question and blinked,
"Well, I can tell the real skull is among you guys, but I’m so sorry to say that those with fake skulls...will not have a good end~ "
The veterans’ nerves instantly became taut.
What does this mean?? Will they die if they have the fake skull??
The spirit’s words were so malicious that even stupid ones could tell that she wanted the veterans to fight each other.
But could the veterans ignore the possibility of a "bad ending" ?
Although they didn’t know yet which skull was the real one...
A decisive veteran immediately used his skill and attacked the veteran not far from him.
BANG!
"You! You bastard!" The attacked veteran reacted fast and dodged the sudden attack, but this was the signal for others to start attacking each other.
"Shut up and just hand over the skull!"
"You guys are crazy! You don’t even know which skull is real!"
"Damn, stupid! Even if you guys grab all the skulls, with so many fakes, you will still die!"
That last sentence suddenly brought ideas to sly veterans with deep thoughts.
Right, why would they need to grab the skull just to risk it all?
Why not...
Choose a sacrifice like before and let the person hold all the skulls, waiting to die?
Even if the real skull was there too and the sacrifice might get a reward, what’s the use if they died?
Some veterans who knew each other immediately gave subtle signals and soon, they started to group up to choose their sacrifice.
The other veterans immediately caught the change in the air and they desperately thrived to be a part of the big group, not the sacrifice!
In this kind of moment, people would naturally think of Leinster and their eyes would drift toward his place.
But when Leinster glanced at them casually while swinging his long chains...
Even the cruelest veterans didn’t dare to stare too long.
Eventually, the veterans who were tough nuts to crack started to target the poor newcomers.
This time, they chose a helpless girl, a newcomer whose ability was almost useless.
Before the girl could even scream, someone knocked her out and brought her in front of "Otomen Lover" with piles of skulls dumped on top of the girl’s body.
"There you go. This girl is the one who holds the skulls. Tell us which skull is the real one."
"Sure, dear customers~ "
"Otomen Lover" still had the same polite smile on her face as she waved her hand.
Swoosh.
A charred, brittle and fragile skull floated out of the pile, landing smoothly on "Otomen Lover" hand.
"This is my skull~" The guardian spirit stroked the charred skull with a hint of melancholy in her voice but then, her voice suddenly changed 180°.
"The other skulls are not mine. Poor girl, you will not have a good end."
The unconscious girl only felt a sharp pain and she truly fell unconscious forever, not knowing that her head was separated from her body and soon, all the skulls merged with her head, forming a grotesque art— Human Head Blooming Flowers.
The gigantic "flower" disappeared and somewhere in the hall, a huge display box popped up, along with the freshly created "art" stored inside.
The veterans and the newcomers who survived the ordeal all held back their urge to puke.
This guardian spirit is really not normal!!
Jung Ryeo took a deep breath and finally spoke,
"We have found your skull. What else do we need? My— companion already gathered several body parts."
It’s time to summon the guardian spirit!
The guardian spirit inside Otomen Lover smiled even brighter than before as she clapped,
"Good, good! Please lay down all the body parts that you mentioned. I’ll see if you lack anything else!"
"Wait— what about us? We also gathered some body parts!"
The others didn’t want to be left behind and they too, tried to place their own collectibles together with Jung Ryeo and Leinster’s stuff.
"Sure, everyone, just place it in front of me. We don’t know whether it’s mine or not, anyway~ "
Ba-thump.
Everyone’s heart dropped to their stomachs.
Is it another "real or fake" game?!
Will they need to select another sacrifice just to pick all the real body parts??
Everyone broke into a cold sweat but they still took out the body parts they purchased and placed them all at the empty place in front of "Otomen Lover".
Leinster finally walked away from his place and stood next to the ghost mother and Jung Ryeo.
They all took out the body parts and put them together with the others.
From this distance, one could see a small hill of body parts from heads, eyes, tongues, limbs, torso, even inner organs mixed together.
The visual was so disturbing that Leinster almost puked on the spot.
Naturally, he also got a surge of Fear Mania and the feeling of disgust.
Slurp. All accepted!
Once the group emptied their belongings, "Otomen Lover" smiled as she pointed at everyone who placed the body parts, including Leinster.
"Alright, dear customer. Each of you will receive a reward if you get the right part but if it’s not my part..."
"Hmm, you will get a really, really, bad, ending."
Damn. This bitch is using the same tactic again!!
"Oh, right, because there are so many body parts, there must be at least ten owners, right? It can’t be just one!"
Fuck.
The number of "sacrifice" increased from just one to a whopping ten.
The veterans who had killed so many monsters and watched fellow humans die had never been so stressed before.
Ten whole sacrifices!
This bitch really wants to kill them off one by one!
She won’t let them go!
The veterans started to think rapidly.
If they wanted to target newcomers there were already less than ten newcomers— including the crazy Lucien and the supernova Jung Ryeo.
Unless...they included Leinster and Jung Ryeo in the list of sacrifice.
The veterans’ eyes, especially those who had tried to kill Leinster before, instantly lit up with a crazed light.
Kill— Kill!
