The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 48: Burst!

Sheep Head Dean and Pig Head Man were standing in a desolate room.

The entire floor was covered with a large number of patterns.

"The blood from the well is enough now," Pig Head Man said in a muffled voice in front of the other, surprisingly tinged with a hint of fear, "According to the ancient tome, the ritual should take place tonight..."

The Dean's voice was ancient, "What about those two..."

Pig Head Man shivered slightly, his eyes shifting as he looked toward the closed door, "I don't know; the game should be almost up."

He couldn't help but curse, "Those fools better not have gotten so carried away that they forgot how important today is."

Dean's eyes lifted slightly, pupils filled with emotionless murk and dead silence. His voice, hoarse like insects gnawing at tree roots: "Go check."

"Yes."

With his tall, rugged body, Pig Head Man dragged his heavy steps outside.

He had just pushed open the door.

His brows suddenly furrowed as he saw a pair of rabbit ears and a figure much shorter than himself standing at the door.

"It's you..."

Pig Head Man's brows furrowed deeply, "Why are you here?"

Wasn't this guy supposed to be in the office?

And why do I see only him, and not the scorpion?

Su Qi fluttered his innocent eyes, "It's like this, I heard that if someone wins first place in all three games on game day, the dean gives a reward personally."

Pig Head Man squinted his eyes, his voice raspy, "Did you win the other two events as well?"

"Barely made it."

Killed them, that counts as a win, right?

Pig Head Man exhaled roughly from his nostrils, "Right, it's not hard to win with the thing I gave you."

"So, can I go in?" Su Qi looked into the darkness.

"You cannot..."

Pig Head Man blocked his view, his expression gradually turning cold.

"What about my reward..."

"You seem to have misunderstood something..."

Su Qi's eyes narrowed sharply as Pig Head Man reached out his hand, but he didn't resist immediately.

Pig Head Man grabbed Su Qi by the neck, his eyes fierce:

"Only what we choose to give you can be called a reward, and you fools aren't entitled to demand it! Understand?"

"..."

Su Qi seemed to be choked, struggling to speak in intermittent, labored breaths, "I thought... at least... you were different from the others, with some kindness..."

Pig Head Man squinted his eyes and let out a few raspy laughs:

"Kid, you're thinking too much. Kindness is something I absolutely do not have."

"Moreover,"

The darkness made Pig Head Man's face even more gruesome and terrifying.

"Tonight is the last day of the game day, and everyone must die."

"It's just that since you appreciated my cooking, I gave you a chance to live a little longer."

But by then, Su Qi could no longer speak, seemingly suffocated, his hands slowly dropping.

He squinted his eyes and then reached toward the bulging pocket of Su Qi, ready to take back his belongings.

But as soon as he touched it, he felt his fingers pricked by something!

Pig Head Man's fingers instantly felt numb.

What was that?

At the same time.

Su Qi's previously drooping hands, unbeknownst to when, had drawn out two spikes, stabbing fiercely and precisely from below right into Pig Head Man's crotch!

The terrifying penetration pain! Instantly, Pig Head Man's eyes filled with blood as he let out a thunderous, agonizing scream.

"Ah!!"

In pain, he flung Su Qi away!

Su Qi let go of the spikes, flew through the air, and landed ten meters away, stabilizing his stance and looking at Pig Head Man: "Such tremendous strength, but luckily, I don't play fair."

But that wasn't the end!

Others who had been lurking around pounced, using the old method to pull out sharp weapons and directly stab Pig Head Man!

"Thud! Ssst!"

Various sharp cold blades entered the thick fat, but then they could go no further!

Everyone's expression changed.

And Pig Head Man, finally recovering from the pain, roared, sweeping broadly with a massive grip and a burst of brute strength!

Everyone holding a weapon was stunned into dropping it by the immense force!

"You're courting death!"

Pig Head Man's eyes blazing red, he pulled a sharp iron rod from his body and then swept it across with great force and weight!

Close by, everyone was swept away!

"..."

Watching this scene, Su Qi couldn't help but think, "A modern-day warrior!"

However.

This was still part of the plan; he hadn't expected those people to actually kill Pig Head Man, just to complete their mission.

At that moment, Pig Head Man's face suddenly turned pale, his legs giving out, and he knelt on the ground!

Its pupils constricted, "Is this... poison?"

It quickly realized that the poison came from all the weapons just now, and... the only possible source could be that scorpion.

That meant...

Pig Head Man's face had already turned cold, an eerie murderous intent emerging in his gaze,

"You... really want to die!"

"I've heard such talk, us orphans have endured long enough; now death or a great plan—both lead to death. Waiting for death, can we perish as a nation?"

Pig Head Man couldn't understand, roared trying to stand up, but felt half of his body numb, unable to move.

Su Qi's voice came through, "It seems this poison hardly affects you, but now that you can't move, that's enough."

Although he was speaking, he had already moved into action!

Holding an axe that was disproportionately large for his form, he charged at Pig Head Man at an extremely fast pace!

"You wretched little thing!" Pig Head Man's eyes were split with rage.

He hadn't expected Su Qi to be able to swing such a large axe, and with such speed too! And he couldn't move now! He couldn't dodge at all!

For this, Su Qi had even activated "Return Spring," making everything around him extremely slow during Bullet Time!

Everything was exceedingly swift, catching his opponent off guard.

Though Pig Head Man was stronger than the other two, he ultimately wasn't enough; Su Qi could take him down without even using a skill.

But at that moment,

"!"

Su Qi's body felt as if it had been swept by a cold wind, his whole body plunging into an ice cave!

His eyes widened, a sense of extreme danger approaching like a tiger from the darkness behind the door!

Not good...

At the height of his composure, under the effect of Bullet Time, he forcibly stopped his axe!

The next moment,

"Puff!"

A sharp knife had suddenly penetrated Pig Head Man's chest and without any pause, as if a bullet, it rapidly moved towards Su Qi!

Su Qi, fixing his gaze on its trajectory, quickly dodged to the side with the assistance of Bullet Time!

"Crack!"

The dagger plunged directly into the ground.

Su Qi's gaze intensified.

Had he chopped down just now, his own body and Pig Head Man's would have been skewered by that long knife.

He turned around, his expression cold and piercing as he stared into the darkness.

"Dean..." Pig Head Man's face was pale; disbelief took hold of him, but the next moment his expression dimmed, and he lowered his head.

Croc Brother trembled, "Are you even sparing your own people?"

"But with this, only one enemy is left!" Snake Head Man exclaimed excitedly.

Yet Su Qi suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet and step back.

An old and hoarse voice slowly arose from the darkness,

"Old age feels somewhat surprised and gratified that you have finally grown up, knowing how to revolt."

Su Qi wanted to speak.

A few game days could change the population of an orphanage; using such a tone watching you grow up hardly seems appropriate.

The Old Director coughed a few times, appearing extremely weak,

"I established this orphanage ten years ago."

"Using it as a center, I began to collect the desperate blood of fear, numbness, and unwillingness; I was really helpless because... I'm about to die."

He slowly stepped forward, his figure revealing under the moonlight.

This was an extremely old man, his skin almost sagging off, covered in various grotesque spots, his face was horrific, one of his eyes had gone blind, and his face looked like the bark of a rotting tree, visibly aging and at least one foot already in the coffin.

"Why not just die then, might have even got a tombstone from the kids ten years earlier." Su Qi assessed his opponent's strength; that one dagger had already proven that this old man was not simple.

Now he understood why Pig Head Man's soup had so many medicinal herbs, all for this old man, but he never really cared about him.

The Old Director's murky gaze fixed on Su Qi, showing changes, an odd emotion, somewhat greedy, slowly returned to calm, he hoarsely said, "But... I don't want to die, every night, seeing your tender bodies, my heart craves for all your flesh and blood, transferring it to me."

Su Qi calmly said, "I can understand that, looking at other people's account balances, I feel the same, but... as a being, you've gone too far into abnormality."

The Old Director, sagging skin, moved his dry lips, "You are too young and cannot understand the terror of death and the things the old must still do, but it's not important..."

"Everything is finally complete."

At this moment, he stepped on a pattern on the ground.

And beneath his feet!

Lines extended from inside the room to the outside, continuously connecting to a well's mouth and then sinking down!

A massive amount of blood began to boil!

At an astonishing speed, it started flowing towards him!

His old, dying body was transforming step by step! The weak heart, too, was slowly but powerfully beating!

His voice seemed to change along with it, becoming more forceful and more intimidating, a sound of terror echoed in everyone's ears, "Now, old age... will make you all a part of me!"

The horns on the Sheep Head... had patterns flashing.

At this moment.

Su Qi moved; he had seen enough, was this old Dean trying to use this ritual to live another five hundred years? And there was a somewhat familiar aura on the Sheep Head? It reminded him of unpleasant memories.

In any case, definitely not a good thing!

This evil ritual and even this Sheep Head old man must be related to the Evil God-invoking it would end everything!

And this was a restricted instance, although the surrounding individuals were said to be abnormal, they were all within the range of ordinary people, and this old guy couldn't be too strong.

Moreover, "Thunderbolt," a devastating skill, was already prepared!

"You might not have seen this before, but I just want to say..." Su Qi didn't hesitate, kicked hard on the ground, his body swiftly rising, directly attacking the Old Director.

"Old Director! Get ready for Bursting Coins!"
