Chapter 625
All the corpses in the morgue were skeptical when Zeus said they were dismissed . Everybody remained standing stock-still until Zeus stepped aside from the door and the sunlight showered into the morgue . Then, the corpses became restless . They exchanged glances but did not move .
These posthumans were, by no means, cowards . In fact, they were brave .
After all, Zeus was still inside the morgue . With his neck bending almost 90 degrees when standing and his two unnaturally large eyes that seemed to be able to pierce through one’s soul, a normal person who had not seen the tragedies in the apocalypse would have already gone crazy .
Maintaining his head in a horizontal position, his mouth stretched into a gleeful grin . He watched the corpses with great merriment as if he was anticipating who would be the first one to walk across the doorway . After staring at each other for some time, there was a female corpse who could not stand his steely gaze anymore . She bit the bullet and hollered out to the other corpses in a low voice, “Let’s get out of here in a group . ”
All the corpses, save for Lin Sanjiu’s group, looked at each other and nodded in unison . They then charged at their top speed towards the door .
However, it seemed like their worries were totally uncalled for . Zeus did not even bat an eyelid and just stood there . Expressions of shock were written all over the group of corpses’ faces as they reached the door . They did not know why Zeus would let them off so easily, but they did not plan to find out . Soon, their figures got smaller and smaller on the horizon until they went totally out of sight .
Lin Sanjiu averted her gaze away from the door and began looking around the morgue .
The fat corpse was trembling, and his face was livid with fear . However, he did not follow the group .
“Why are you still here?” Zeus asked with a smile as he flexed his fingers and picked up his chiton .
“I… I’m too excited to see you, so I couldn’t walk,” the fat corpse answered as he bowed unctuously, “It’s okay . You can leave first . Don’t mind me . I’ll leave after you . ”
Lin Sanjiu and the grand prize looked at each other upon hearing what the fat corpse said . Although Zeus was scary and strange, he was not the only thing that was odd in the Olympics . They wondered why the fat corpse would admit that he was too scared to move . Besides, he was among the first ones to run when Zeus showed up . Soulsqn jolted up and shouted, “Bullsh*t! You are going to take this morgue, aren’t you? What can you possibly achieve by taking this crap?”
The fat corpse was stunned . He shook his hand repeatedly and recoiled a few steps . “No, you have misunderstood me… I don’t want to make this morgue my own . ”
“That’s good then . ” Zeus suddenly sighed . Flexing his fingers, he patted his chest . “This is because this morgue is mine . ”
The fat corpse fell quiet . He looked around, then in the next second, his body turned into a blur as he darted out of the doorway .
Zeus turned his long neck around, his brown hair scraping across the ceiling . He bent his neck at a 90-degree angle as he saw the fat corpse out of the front door .
When he turned his head back to Lin Sanjiu, he found her walking towards the corpse of the morgue owner . Her body froze the moment she met his glance .
“What are you doing, dear?” Zeus asked, his voice thick with affection .
“I’m going to bury him,” Lin Sanjiu replied coldly .
“I can give you permission to do that, but don’t do any other thing,” Zeus said as he inspected the interior of the morgue with his two bizarrely large eyes . The grand prize had been shielding the birdcage with his body, and upon seeing Zeus’s action, he inched towards Lin Sanjiu together with Soulsqn .

With a frown, Lin Sanjiu crouched down .
When her gaze and her palm touched the corpse of the morgue owner, the doubt and surprise that just rose in her heart dissipated . The morgue owner did not know what the cause of his death was even after he had died . There was a muddled expression on his purple-tinged face, and his eyes were half-closed in a slumbrous manner .
Lin Sanjiu closed his eyes with her palm . The moment the morgue owner’s eyes were closed, he disappeared into thin air .
“I’m such a benevolent god . I’ve given you all you wanted!” Zeus clapped his hands and sighed . “Let’s get moving . ”
Then, they followed Zeus out from the morgue . The sky was foggy and the sunlight in the morning was dim as it shone coldly down on them .
The atmosphere in the resting zone had taken a nosedive . It was chilly, and Lin Sanjiu could barely see anybody around . It was a stark contrast from the lively and merry night .
It was getting late . Not only had all the umbrellas returned to the ground, but most of the posthumans in the resting zone were also gone, leaving only a few scattered groups of people in the distance . Presumably, they were not going to join or watch any games today .
‘No wonder no one realizes that Zeus is here,’ Lin Sanjiu thought inwardly .
“Wait for me here . I’m going to keep this morgue,” Zeus said . Then, without waiting for Lin Sanjiu’s reply, he turned back to the morgue . Only then did Lin Sanjiu see the full length of his neck . It was massive at almost ten or so centimeters long . She stared at his back, and a wild thought suddenly appeared in her mind . She opened her palm and activated A Twinkle In The Sky .

Then, she felt a cold sensation spread across her arm . She turned around to find that a person holding her arm . It was her grand prize . The second they met each other glances, the grand prize shook his head . Although he did not utter any syllable, Lin Sanjiu got his signal through his eyes . Some of her rational returned as she took a deep breath . She lowered her hand and deactivated A Twinkle In The Sky .
“Yo, where’s your friend? What’s his name?” Walking towards them after he had kept the morgue, Zeus asked in a saccharine voice, “Are you sure your friend is here? You cannot lie to the highest god . You do know that, don’t you?”
“His name is Puppeteer,” Lin Sanjiu answered, “Don’t worry . We’ve agreed with each other to check the competition rules together today . ” She just needed to hold it out a little longer until she was reunited with Puppeteer .
Zeus cast a sidelong glance at her and giggled as if he had heard some kind of joke . Dumbfounded by Zeus’s reaction, Lin Sanjiu asked, “What’s so funny about that?” However, Zeus did not reply instantly . He kept laughing for a long while before craning his neck and replying, “Nothing . I’m just not sure if you’re able to find your friend or not . ”
Lin Sanjiu looked at her grand prize . She had a bad feeling about this . Without wasting any second, she grabbed the flesh worm and bolted straight towards the direction they came in last night .
Zeus followed after them . The rhythm of his bare feet hitting the ground caused Lin Sanjiu’s heart to sink even further down .
The umbrella where they had rested under last night had disappeared . There was no sign of Puppeteer and his crowd of puppets either .
The three of them searched frantically around the area, their footsteps echoing clearly in the resting zone . There were fewer people in the resting zone . Some of them were lying on the ground while the others were leaning against the wall, but all of them were not Puppeteer .
Lin Sanjiu’s forehead was wet with sweat . She felt cold after being assaulted by the wind .

‘Could he have already gone out to the arena?’ LinSanjiu thought to herself, but she denied the thought the second it appeared in her mind . She froze, her blood turning cold .
In the next second, she turned her body around and lunged at Zeus like an arrow leaving its string .
“Sis!” the grand prize shouted panickly .
“What have you done to Puppeteer?” Lin Sanjiu’s eyes had turned bloodshot . She roared as she activated A Twinkle In The Sky, and threw herself straight at the tall figure at the back . Mrs . Manas immediately activated her Defense Forcefield, causing her body to glow . However, before she could reach Zeus, she suddenly came to an abrupt stop .
Something was not right, but it was too late . Zeus tilted his head and offered three of them an eerie grin .
His cheeks folded up as the grin grew larger . Zeus raised his arm and beckoned with his finger . “Well, since you cannot find your friend, let’s go then . ”
His words seemed to carry some kind of force . Before his sentence was dissipated by the wind, the trio could not help falling to the ground . The cobbled ground was flat, but they could not stop rolling forward as if they were sliding down a slope .
“If you guys continue to resist me, I’m going to be very angry . And when I’m angry, bad things are going to happen . You guys don’t want anything bad to happen, do you?”
Zeus lowered his head, narrowing his two oddly large eyes as he continued to smile . “Alrighty then . Let’s depart to the new arena . ”
Lin Sanjiu bit her lower lip until it turned white . She had to use every ounce of strength to prevent her body from making any involuntary retaliation . Zeus grabbed her by her collar and lifted her into the air .
