When life is threatened, when human life becomes a game in the mouths of the "upper class", when rule is far removed from rules and order... can you still maintain your rationality as a human being forever?

All things have a spirit. Humans and animals are just different kinds of creatures living together in the world. Putting aside the ridiculous sense of superiority that humans have, the so-called inferior people are no different from "goats" that can be disposed of and slaughtered at will. Your lives are the same as those of the goats waiting to be slaughtered, sacrifices in the eyes of the "superior people".

Humans will choose to rebel, goats will choose to wail. The lower-class crew members and goats merge together to form a new "weirdness." Don't they want to live? Don't they want to go back to their parents? Do they want to remain pitiful lambs on the sea, ready to be sacrificed and tortured at any time?

The "upper class" are reversed in a twisted, brutal prayer; the inversion of social status, the lost ship forever unable to return, the crew destined for a life-or-death struggle yet clinging to a sliver of hope... Was all this tragedy, unfolding amidst a torrential downpour of rain and thunder, meant to happen?

[The countdown to leaving the game is now starting: 10, 9, 8...]

As Yu Shijiu retreated, Feifei steadied him with force, making a "gurgling" sound in her throat—a sound Yu Shijiu was very familiar with, as it was the sound Feifei made when she was relaxed and happy.

Is Fatty so happy because they passed the level safely?

This thought briefly appeared in Yu Shijiu's mind for a few seconds before being overwhelmed by an even more intense pain deep within his brain.

"……Well."

Yu Shijiu groaned, and as the familiar scene around him began to distort, he vaguely saw the giant sheep's skin burst open, and countless sheep heads flew up on the twisted ship. The human heads that were originally in the giant sheep's throat tumbled down from mid-air, emitting sharp and mournful screams.

"I... I'll take my sister with me... Please... Please..."

Angkor's iconic fierce face showed a pleading expression, and his gradually growing neck and shoulders made a sticky writhing sound on the deck, like a fish helplessly and desperately thrashing about after being caught.

"..." This scene that made people's sanity drop wildly was seen by Yu Shijiu, who had a headache. His smiling expression paused, and he slowly frowned.

His question was actually a probing conversation with Akin, who was hidden within it—unfortunately, the giant sheep's reaction gave him the answer, but it wasn't very clear.

Based on past examples, the only conscious "person" on the ship should be Akin—after all, Akin is not a single person, but a collection of all the crew members who tried to survive.

Yes, including those goats that also want to survive.

But the fact that Angkor Wat could also be conscious... Yu Shijiu had thought about it at first, but after seeing Ah Jin, he abandoned the guess.

So now it's—"...Brother...I won't leave...I can't leave...I can't leave either..."

The woman's head, which was also beginning to grow a neck, shoulders, and arms, writhed laboriously on the deck, opening its mouth and weeping incessantly toward the location of Angkor.

"elder brother……"

Blood and tears streamed down Wu Huimin's face, her voice hoarse and strained from the slashed vocal cords, yet she continued to scream:

“I can’t go… I can’t go… I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have… I shouldn’t have gotten on… the ship…”

"..."

Wu Ge writhed in agony, ultimately helplessly watching Yu Shijiu's figure gradually disappear on the deck.

"...No...no...no...please...please—"

Wu Ge's voice abruptly stopped, and Yu Shijiu, who had been pleading, lost consciousness and completely fell into a vortex of darkness.

As her vision faded, Yu Shijiu saw all the heads that had fallen from the giant sheep's body gradually sprout new bodies and flesh, very slowly...

He also saw the giant sheep's shrunken skin begin to tremble, and Ah Jin's honest and simple face reappeared below the sheep's head—as if sensing that someone was watching him, "Ah Jin" stared blankly at the spot where Yu Shijiu had disappeared.

In the end, the newborn "Ah Jin" twitched spasmodically in his face, revealing a more eerie smile that was neither human nor female.

"..."

Yu Shijiu has logged off.

Including Fatty, who kept biting at the corner of his clothes.

----------

In the pitch-black bedroom with the lights off, the man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils remained as small as pinholes for a while before slowly returning to normal.

"..."

Lu Chusheng closed his eyes slightly. The discomfort of his soul and body merging again made his breathing a little rapid. It was like being forcibly pressed into his body, causing a throbbing pain that even made the nerves in his brain twitch with pain.

After lying in bed for about five minutes, Lu Chusheng sat up and looked down at the gray blanket covering him, feeling as if he had been in another world.

Just now, Lai Bao suddenly squeezed his soul out of the cat's body and returned it to his own body, while Lu Chusheng... Lu Chusheng was in so much pain that his nerves were trembling, and he only felt a little better now after returning to his own body.

Lu Chusheng sighed, pressed the bulging veins on his temples, slowly got out of bed, pushed open the bedroom door, and went to the living room to pour a glass of water.

Glug—Lu Chusheng, who had just taken two sips of water, glanced at the full-length mirror by the door and almost spat it out.

In the full-length mirror that came with the house, the tall, handsome man's brow twitched, and his pupils suddenly locked onto the two spots on the top of his head—on those two spots, there were two fluffy, yellow cat ears?!

Lu Chusheng, who suddenly gained four ears: "..."

Lu Chusheng reached out and touched his "cat ears" in a daze, touching them again and again in disbelief.

What's going on? It's been a long time since he mastered the body of the creature that grows cat ears... What went wrong this time...?

Could it be...

Recalling Lai Bao's excited act of squeezing himself out of his body, Lu Chusheng remained silent for a very long time, a rare occurrence.

When it had been so long that his fluffy cat ears on both sides of his head started twitching, Lu Chusheng took a deep breath and pinched his trembling brow hard.

Never mind, it should disappear in a bit.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang, and Lu Chusheng unconsciously clenched his fist.

A few seconds later, Lu Chusheng chose to go back to the bedroom to find his hat.
