The scarlet screens broadcasting worldwide light up
A billion people witness the bizarre survival game set up by a “god”: a handless student on night duty in a corridor at midnight, a bloody figure repeatedly hanging itself in a hospital, a forest keeper harvesting lives in the dense fog... The chosen players must either tear the anomalies apart or be torn apart by them, with their deaths broadcast live from beginning to end.
Lin Yuntian, reborn, awakens the talent [Insulting Your Opponent] from the start.
[Rating: F-. Suggestion: Try insulting an ant to death.]
The audience laughs, calling him the first one to get himself killed, while his teammates mock him as someone only good for cheering others on.
Then a hideous anomaly lunges at him. He adjusts his nonexistent glasses and speaks with polished courtesy: “Did you pick that patchwork face out of a garbage dump? You’re uglier than a three-year-old when you cry. Being alive wastes Yin energy, and dying would pollute the underworld. No wonder they skinned you and hung you here!”
[The anomaly “Twisted Nurse” suffers a mental breakdown and self-destructs!]
The audience and his teammates are left utterly stunned.
No one knows he is using the memories from his previous life to plan each step: avoiding traps, spotting weaknesses, and predicting the “god’s” moves. With Su Qing, a levelheaded doctor, and Wang Peng, a hotheaded bruiser, he fights his way from a midnight school to a time-loop train. The title “Mouth of the Gods” is etched into the bones of every anomaly and player.
When he points at the “god’s” emissary, each word strikes home: “Does your master’s scar still hurt? Have you forgotten what it felt like to be strapped to that lab table?”
Only then does the world understand that this gentle man has a madness buried beneath his eyes, a madness born of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He insults vengeful ghosts to death, verbally demolishes lords, and even drags the “god’s” long-buried painful past into the open.
He never wanted mere survival. He wants to tear this sick game apart, forcing the “god” and humanity to either be reborn in the truth or perish together.
