Chapter 503 The Path of Hungry Ghosts

……

Shinichi Kudo and Vermouth are still searching the room for any clues about the Hungry Ghost Path.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from the ceiling, and the two of them immediately stopped what they were doing.

ka ka ka-

"what sound?"

The room suddenly began to tremble slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Shinichi Kudo and Vermouth tensed up and arrived at Qi Ming's side almost at the same time.

They might curse in their hearts, but if something really happened, only Qi Ming could protect them.

Before long, the floor in the four corners of the room sank down, and then several holes slowly emerged.

puff--

With a soft sound, a large amount of white smoke billowed out from the holes, quickly filling the entire room.

The smoke filled the air, blurring people's vision.

"Cough cough... Huh?"

Shinichi Kudo coughed twice as a conditioned reflex, and it was only after coughing that he realized that the mysterious smoke being released didn't seem to have a particularly pungent smell.

On the contrary, the gas even smells like air freshener, with a faint fragrance.

"If it's not tear gas, what are they trying to do?"

Although Vermouth didn't notice anything unusual about the fog, the judge shouldn't have done such a futile task.

She covered her mouth and nose tightly, but a lot of smoke still managed to get into her body through the gaps.

A dozen seconds later, the smoke dissipated, and Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo released their hands from their mouths and noses.

They touched their bodies but didn't seem to find anything wrong.

However, the moment this thought crossed their minds, their legs went weak and they collapsed to their knees.

Just moments ago, Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo were each gently holding onto Qi Ming's sleeves.

As they knelt down, the two unconsciously grabbed Qi Ming's waistband with both hands.

It's a bit like they're going to pull Qi Ming's pants down.

The two looked up in confusion, and their eyes met Qi Ming's.

Qi Ming was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Change to another batch. I don't like men or older men."

"..."

Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo's lips twitched uncontrollably.

The two quickly let go of each other and tried to stand up by supporting themselves with their hands on the floor.

However, just as they were trying to get up, they suddenly found that their bodies seemed to have lost their strength, were extremely weak, and could not muster any strength at all.

Their arms twitched violently as if they had been electrocuted. This time, instead of kneeling, they leaned forward involuntarily and fell face-first to the ground.

A sharp pain shot through him as his chin hit the ground, and Shinichi Kudo frowned deeply.

This feeling is not just as simple as weakness...

My stomach started rumbling, and a strong feeling of hunger surged through me like a tide.

The attack was so overwhelming that he couldn't control himself and just wanted to eat right away.

What's wrong? Could it be the problem with that smoke from earlier?

At the same time, Vermouth also felt the same way.

Her stomach was growling incessantly, and she was also overwhelmed by an unbearable feeling of hunger.

Seeing the two of them acting this way, Qi Ming didn't say anything more to tease them.

The prompt appeared before his eyes the moment the smoke rose.

[Entered a state of extreme hunger, lasting 30 minutes]

This is yet another bizarre prop I've never seen before.

I always feel like my mechanics are stuffed into their equipment and items, but they also seem to get some unique items that I don't have.

Perhaps calling it a toy would be more appropriate.

zizi——

A crackling sound rang out, followed by Emiya Masayoshi's voice.

"...You have all been judged in the hell realm, and the heat of the flames has surely given you both physical and spiritual rebirth."

"Now you all need to undergo the judgment of the hungry ghost realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft click, and a hidden compartment in the ceiling suddenly opened.

Whoosh whoosh—

Immediately afterwards, bread, hamburgers, potato chips, and other foods poured down from the hidden compartment like rain.

Food kept falling from the hidden compartment and piling up on the floor. Over time, the speed and amount of food falling gradually slowed down, eventually forming a small mountain on the ground.

"Oh, this arrangement is good. We burned off a lot of calories and now everyone has gained them back."

Qi Ming scanned the food, and although he said that, he had already discovered the strangeness of this mountain of food.

Almost all of them are poisonous.

Although Qi Ming took the drug immediately to remove the abnormal state, Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo did not.

They lay on the ground, staring at the pile of food in front of them, their eyes shining.

If they weren't still rational, they would have already crawled over to eat in the shadows.

“There is a mountain of food piled up in front of you, and I believe you have also noticed the keypad door in the room.”

"To open this door, you need six numbers. I wrote these numbers on six slips of paper and hid them inside six different kinds of food."

"You may enjoy these things as you please, but I must remind you that apart from those six specific foods, all the rest are poisonous."

"The trial now begins."

"..."

If it weren't for Vermouth shutting down his live stream, Qi Ming would have complained to his viewers about the design again.

However, wouldn't it be better for them to just break the food apart and look for the password slip?

Knowing it's poisonous, why would you eat it? Isn't that just asking for death?

Qi Ming rolled his eyes at the surveillance camera on the ceiling.

"Kids, this challenge is up to you. Go get me the password... Huh?"

Qi Ming, who thought the level was extremely easy, even considered having Shinichi Kudo and Vermouth break all the food apart.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were now staring blankly at the food, their mouths watering uncontrollably.

If I really had to describe it...

The two of them look like they have mental disabilities right now.

"What are you two doing? Didn't you eat before you left today? Do you want to eat anything poisonous?"

However, Qi Ming then remembered that the two of them still seemed to be hungry.

...That was a miscalculation. He shouldn't have been so quick. He also wanted to see what it was like to be extremely hungry.
