The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 123

The middle-aged woman tossed a key to Qing Li, marked with a crimson number “8”.

 

Eight players, and Qing Li was number 8.

 

It was self-explanatory.

 

She was going to be the first premium ingredient to be consumed.

 

It seemed she was being targeted.

 

But…

 

It’s not certain who will consume whom.

 

Qing Li, holding the key, sang a cheerful tune and left.

 

As other keys were distributed to players, each had a different expression, guessing what the blood-red, striking numbers on the keys meant.

 

Qing Li left the wooden cabin, the dark night enveloping everything, the cold winter wind biting at her face with an almost imperceptible scent of blood.

 

Rows of small cabins were nestled in dim lights, each marked with a number.

 

Following the number on her key, Qing Li found the corresponding cabin. As she opened the door, she looked around and noticed twenty similar cabins.

 

The window of cabin number nine next door was lit, and a small head peered out, its innocent, clear eyes sneakily watching Qing Li, full of curiosity about the new neighbor.

 

Qing Li frowned upon seeing the neighbor.

 

It was a child.

 

The little girl seemed to be only seven or eight years old, with a pure and naive gaze.

 

Seeing that Qing Li had noticed her, she smiled shyly and withdrew her head.

 

Qing Li retracted her gaze, inserted the key into the lock, and turned it.

 

The wooden door opened to a clean and fresh interior, fully furnished with even electrical appliances.

 

“To make premium ingredients comfortable, the farm really puts in the effort!” she thought.

 

But Qing Li soon sensed something was off.

 

A faint resentment was gathering under the bed…

 

She approached the bed, and with her slender, frail arms, effortlessly lifted the nearly hundred-pound bed.

 

Beneath the wooden bed were nail scratches and dried bloodstains, stark and alarming.

 

Qing Li’s fingertips glided over the scratches, following the trail of the marks.

 

She discovered a pattern.

 

These scratches seemed to form words.

 

“It’s just that there are so many scratch marks crisscrossing chaotically that it’s hard to make out the words on it.

 

“Escape…”

 

“Beasts…”

 

“We are food…”

 

“We must notify everyone to escape quickly…”

 

“I am Jin…”

 

“Chen…”

 

Qing Li’s fingers stopped, her gaze fixed tightly on the twisted scratch marks under the bed.

 

Jin Chen, could it be Manager Jin!

 

Qing Li gently put down the wooden bed and lay on it, a scene automatically appearing in her mind.

 

A skinny little boy, shivering under the wooden bed, repeatedly etched important information into the planks with his fingernails to warn others who would later live in this wooden house, until his fingers were bloody and blurred…

 

The next day.

 

The morning light was warm and bright, and the snow on the roof slightly melted.

 

Knocking on the door broke the silence of the early morning.

 

Qing Li rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door.

 

A young woman in a maid’s outfit smiled at her: “It’s time for breakfast!”

 

Her voice was gentle, looking at Qing Li with caring eyes like treating a child.

 

Qing Li, with disheveled hair, yawned lazily and said, “I want to sleep a bit longer, call me for lunch.”

 

However, before she finished speaking, the woman’s face suddenly darkened.

 

She glared at Qing Li fiercely: “No, you must eat breakfast.”

 

Her voice was sharp and harsh.

 

“What if I don’t want to eat!” Qing Li smiled provocatively.

 

“People living here must strictly follow the rules. If you’re disobedient, you’ll be dealt with.”

 

The woman’s gaze was cold, her expression sinister and fierce.

 

This was Breeding Farm No. 1, where each human was carefully selected as high-quality food. To ensure their meat quality, both diet and sleep had to be strictly regulated as per the farm’s rules.

 

“Oh, so how would you deal with me? Disembowel me, flay me, or boil me alive?”

 

Qing Li tilted her head, licking her small canine tooth with her tongue.

 

The woman’s pupils shook, seemingly not expecting the human in front of her to be insane.

 

She hurried away to report the matter.

 

If a madman was found among the high-grade ingredients, it would be disastrous if the customers found out!

 

After the woman left, Qing Li slowly got up, washed up, and walked out of the wooden house.

 

The sunlight was dazzling, her long eyelashes trembling, her delicate chin buried in her high collar, with two braids hanging in front of her chest.

 

Several children were playing carefree in the snow, their faces full of happy smiles.

 

“Sister, do you want to play with us?”

 

The little girl from wooden house No. 9 saw Qing Li coming out and ran over with a smiling face.

 

At this time, Su Yin and Mo Ting also walked towards Qing Li.

 

Qing Li said to the little girl, “Next time, kid.”

 

The little girl obediently nodded her head and then happily hopped away.

 

“What a carefree bunch,” Su Yin said, her red lips curling into a faint sneer. “Seeing this scene, I even doubt if this is really the horror world.”

 

Mo Ting looked at Qing Li and asked in a deep voice, “Did you find anything?”

 

They came to exchange information with Qing Li.

 

“This is a human breeding farm, specifically for raising humans to provide food for ghosts.

 

If I’m not wrong, there are seven levels here. We are probably at the first level, the number one breeding farm, which is specifically for cultivating high-quality food for the high-level ghosts in the horror world.

 

The second to sixth levels are unknown for now, and the seventh is the lowest level breeding farm, where humans are given up as food and transformed into monsters.”

 

Qing Li said all this in one breath, not hiding anything.

 

Mo Ting looked surprised, not expecting Qing Li to find out so much information in just one night.

 

“Chen Xing spent last night with that woman and got some information from her. She claims to be a top-level breeder. She revealed that every month on the 15th, adopters come here to pick a batch of humans to take away, but as for what happens to those who are taken away…”

 

Mo Ting didn’t need to say it; the outcome was obvious.

 

It’s already the 12th.

 

There are three more days!

 

However, Qing Li’s attention was caught by something else as her hair stood on end. She incredulously asked, “They really slept together?”

 

Seeing Qing Li’s surprised look, Su Yin laughed and said, “It’s also one of Chen Xing’s survival strategies. To survive, not just people, he’s even been with female ghosts.”

 

Qing Li looked admiringly…

 

If she had half the ability of Chen Xing, why worry about not defeating Chu Ci!

 

“If nothing goes wrong, I will soon be driven out of the number one breeding farm. They might kill me or send me to another breeding farm. You guys need to be careful.”

 

She deliberately angered two breeders, and the number one breeding farm could no longer contain her.

 

Qing Li took out a stack of Talismans from her pocket, defensive Talismans and evil-warding Talismans, attack Talismans like thunder and fire Talismans. She handed these to Su Yin, instructing, “Take these Talismans, and distribute them to the other players as well. The live stream selected us to come here to be eaten as high-quality food, so the items in the prop shop probably won’t work.”

 

Tears welled up in Su Yin’s beautiful eyes, moved by Qing Li’s generosity for the first time, she felt like crying.

 

Seeing Su Yin not moving, Qing Li frowned and urged, “What are you waiting for, hurry up and pay!”

 

Su Yin: “……”
