Chapter 624: Come With Me, I’ll Introduce You To Someone Fun

Even before one of his feet touched the floor, Lin Sanjiu felt a gust of wind. Not far from her, two of the corpses that were near the coffins immediately sensed that something was wrong. They turned and ran to one of the side windows of the morgue. Unfortunately, the morgue wasn’t an actual wooden building. The two corpses allided with the window frame consecutively. Even though there was nothing visible blocking their way, they were unable to reach out to the window.

In fact, if those two corpses hadn’t slammed into that window, Lin Sanjiu wouldn’t have realized that the windows were merely decorations.

“My goodness,” the person who had just stepped through the door remarked before covering his mouth. “Are both of you hurt? Will this affect your performance in the Olympics later?”

The two corpses hunched as they slid down the window sill. They couldn’t stand straight even after some time. Obviously, they had bumped into the window with quite some force. Hearing the man’s remark, the skinnier corpse staggered backward. Meanwhile, the other larger corpse nodded his head hurriedly and stepped back as he smiled at the person at the door. “It doesn’t hurt. It won’t affect us... I’ll definitely give my all in the competition.”

Zeus snorted lightly as a smile appeared on his face.

He was dressed in a flowing white chiton and half his chest was exposed. His ribbed muscles and firm skin almost had a radiant glow. Additionally, he looked like a way larger model of a normal person.

Right now, he looked like an adult who had squeezed into a kid’s playhouse. As he was too tall, the back of his head reached the ceiling. Every step he took, his hair would scrape against the wood, releasing a susurration into the air. After she had had enough time observing him, Lin Sanjiu quickly lowered her gaze.

She was not afraid of being noticed by Zeus. It was just that she did not want to spend too much time looking at his face.

Her not wanting to look at Zeus’s face wasn’t because he was ugly or whatsoever. In fact, Zeus’s appearance was flawless. On his head of thick beige-colored curly hair, he had a pair of large, piercing eyes and a hooked nose. Each of his features was finely sculptured, and it would not be too far-fetched to call him the masterpiece of God.

Lin Sanjiu was not the only one who avoided Zeus’s face.

All the corpses were staring at Zeus vigilantly, but none of them looked at his face. Like Lin Sanjiu, all of them just took a glance at his face and immediately averted their gaze.

“Why is everybody so quiet?”

Zeus scanned the morgue with his two enormous eyes that seemed like they would fall off and slide into the adjacent socket at any moment.

“Why do you all look so sulky? Aren’t you feeling happy to meet your beloved god?” Zeus gave a resentful sigh. “Didn’t you all join the competition to see me?”

Clap, clap, clap, clap....

The larger corpse who attempted to flee just now clapped his hands with all his might, startling the rest of the corpses that stood around him. Lin Sanjiu stole a glance at him. She saw that huge droplets of sweat were oozing from his large forehead. His face turned even paler, and he now looked even more like a dead man.

“We are happy! Of course, we are very happy!” the fat corpse applauded and exclaimed with great merriment. He even made a deep bow before continuing enthusiastically, “We just couldn’t react in time, as we never expected that we would meet the highest god here. It’s like a dream come true!”

While the fat corpse captured everybody’s attention, Lin Sanjiu seized the chance to slowly inch towards the back.

A lovely smile, or so he thought, spread across Zeus’s face, giving people a peek at his row of pearly white teeth. Aside from the layers of skin that clumped on his cheeks, he looked no different from a dashing young man.

“Great, great.” He cleared his throat and held his chiton, as it was slipping down from his shoulders. His glowing bronze skin created a stark contrast against his flowing white chiton. Without a doubt, he looked as fit as an ancient Greek god, though that was only the case if one did not take his face into consideration.

“My children, I showed myself before you today because I heard a prayer. There is someone amongst you calling for me.”

The few corpses looked at each other. Dumbfounded expressions dawned onto their faces.

Lin Sanjiu stopped moving abruptly under the corpses’ steely gazes. The grand prize and Soulsqn, who was holding the birdcage, were standing behind her. Their muscles were pulled taut.

“SPEAK! How long are you guys going to stay quiet like that?! Don’t you guys want to know who that person is?” Zeus shouted all of a sudden, his sickly-sweet tone grating against their ears. “Jeez, what a bunch of blockheads.”

The corpses were so startled that they became frozen stiff. They remained silent, and all of them clenched their hands tightly. Apparently, they were holding some kind of Special Items. The fat corpse clapped his hands once more and exclaimed, “Oh, you have misunderstood us, lord of all. It would be incredibly rude of us to cut you off, so we kept our mouths shut. Can you please tell us now?”

“Hmm, you are right,” Zeus said as he looked softly at the fat corpse. He lifted his arm, causing the fat corpse to take two steps back as he raised his guard. However, it seemed that it was completely uncalled for, as Zeus simply raised his arm. Slowly, ever so slowly, Zeus motioned his finger gracefully across the room, his finger jumping from one corpse to another until it stopped at Lin Sanjiu.

“It’s you, my dear child.” His eyes shone brightly as he spread his arms open. “I heard your prayers, so I came to you. Do you feel happy to see me?”

In that instance, Lin Sanjiu’s blood turned cold. Everybody was looking at her, searing her with their suspicious stares. She allowed her gaze to travel around before stopping on Zeus’s neck. “What... What do you mean?”

“Last night, when you were talking with your friends, you expressed your desire to get first place and meet the highest god. I was really moved by your statement. You know, it’s hard to find a person who has a strong belief in God nowadays. Hence, to meet my most devoted child, I tracked you down.” A wide grin blossomed on Zeus’s face once more, pushing more of his skin onto his cheeks. “Well, now that I’m standing in front of you, what have you got for me?”

‘I have nothing for you!’

Lin Sanjiu’s brain was a muddled mush. Her mind was full of a medley of profanities, and she could not think straight. Then, one particular thought suddenly came in and cast her other thoughts away. She turned around and looked at the morgue owner’s corpse.

‘If we hadn’t stayed in this hotel, then he might not...’

Lin Sanjiu instantly felt a pang of guilt. She had to take a few deep breaths to push the feeling away and calm herself down.

“Erm... Sorry to interrupt, but I remember that the sole requirement to meet the highest god is to be the winner of the most games in a zone?”

A familiar voice erupted from behind her, snapping Lin Sanjiu back to reality. She jerked her head back and realized it was Ji Shanqing who asked the question. Just as she was going to quiet him down, the grand prize threw another question at Zeus, “So why have you come to my sister now? So far, she has only joined one competition, and she did not even get the first prize.”

With a smile plastered on his face, Zeus squinted his eyes and answered, “Because she believes in God.”

Since Zeus had responded to his question, despite the answer being irrelevant to what he asked, Ji Shanqing could not help but say, “I mean, there must be more than one person who wishes to win the game, right? So why have you come to my sister in particular?”

“Indeed, I hear lots of prayers saying that they want to win the game,” Zeus flipped his head of brown hair and continued to talk in his effeminate voice, “Well, honestly, I did not come for her particularly. The reason I appeared before you all is that I’m going to gather every person who wishes to meet the highest god and fly you all to a new arena where the real winner will be decided. Only then will he or she receive my grace.”

Lin Sanjiu and the grand prize exchanged a glance. Both of them could see the surprised expression on each other’s faces.

“Now I get it!” Ji Shanqing gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and his eyes glowed as he finally saw the light. “No wonder why the wall would not give us any more information aside from telling us that the person who won the most games would be given a chance to meet the highest god... I have been suspicious of this all along! So that’s the whole story!”

Turning his head, the grand prize shoved his scar-laden face at Lin Sanjiu as he explained nervously, “There are so many things going on on this planet. Every day, there are a lot of people going in and out of the Olympics, participating in the games or taking a break from them. Without fixing a time limit, it’s virtually impossible to keep track of who has collected the most wins. However, if we single out every person who wishes to win the game and bring them to a new arena for a rematch, this problem would be solved!”

As Ji Shanqing was explaining to Lin Sanjiu, he kept sending signals to her. Lin Sanjiu looked confused for a moment, but then suddenly the penny dropped. Right now, the precedence over the situation did not belong to her. With Ji Shanqing and Soulsqn at her side, things would get extremely bad if she were to clash with Zeus right now.

Although looking at Zeus’s face was the last thing she wanted, Lin Sanjiu still raised her head and asked in a soft voice, “In other words, you are going to gather all those who want to win the game, right?”

Tapping his cheek with his finger, Zeus nodded.

“I have a friend,” Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath, and the words rolled off her tongue smoothly, “He wants to win the game and meet the highest god as well. Let these people go. After I take the morgue owner’s corpse, I will bring you to my friend.”
