"Who's there?"
Uchiha Yujin pulled out a kunai, eyes sharply scanning the surroundings!
But when he saw what was there, his blood ran cold!
Two figures stood on a thick tree trunk!
If any other Uchiha clan member saw one of their faces, they might have even greeted him warmly, "Ah, it's Lord Uchiha Itachi, thank you for your hard work!"
But this was Uchiha Yujin, who had already seen the whole story.
If there was only Itachi on one side, it would be one thing.
The other was wearing a mask, showing only one eye.
This was the crazy Uchiha Obito, the man who pretended to be a fool in front of others but secretly wanted to create a world controlled by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
These two had no feelings or sympathy for the Uchiha clan at all.
Obito was here to collect Sharingan for the Moon Eye Plan.
Itachi was here for the so-called peace of Konoha.
Anyway, the Uchiha clan carried an original sin—being Uchiha meant death!
"He saw us. Kill him." Itachi raised his shuriken.
"A worthless trash without a forehead protector. Kill him." Obito shrugged.
Pfft!
Before Uchiha Yujin could react to Itachi's attack, his body was already flying backward!
He didn't even have time to form a substitution jutsu hand seal.
He traced a tragic arc through the air.
His vision blurred.
The wind howled past his ears, and leaves rustled far away.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest—that fatal strike from Itachi's shuriken!
His body slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up dust.
His consciousness began to blur, but the shouts of Pirate Yujin and Marvel Yujin echoed clearly in his ears.
"Uchiha Yujin! Hold on! We still need you!" Pirate Yujin's voice was full of urgency and unwillingness.
"Brother, you can't just give up like this! We still have many things to do!" Marvel Yujin's voice was filled with despair.
Uchiha Yujin started to see illusions before his eyes.
He seemed to see himself successfully awakening the Sharingan, battling alongside Itachi and Obito.
He saw himself and Pirate Yujin breaking out of prison together.
He saw Marvel Yujin fighting Thanos in the Marvel world.
But all of this gradually faded away as his life slipped away.
He wanted to respond, wanted to tell them he wouldn't give up, but the blood foam in his mouth stopped him from making a sound.
His body grew cold, and his life force drained rapidly.
He felt his heartbeat weaken with each beat struggling against death.
"No... it can't end like this..." Uchiha Yujin shouted silently in his heart.
His fingers twitched slightly but lacked the strength to grab anything.
Obito and Itachi's figures disappeared into the forest.
They didn't look back, nor did they notice Uchiha Yujin's fading life force.
They were too lazy to deal with the body.
Their target was the entire Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Yujin was just a minor part of their plan.
Uchiha Yujin's consciousness blurred further.
He felt his soul beginning to leave his body.
He struggled to hold on to the last bit of clarity, but darkness surged like a tide and swallowed him completely.
Before his final awareness disappeared, he heard the cries and roars of Pirate Yujin and Marvel Yujin.
In another world, they seemed to sense his death.
Their hearts ached, their anger burned!
Uchiha Yujin's last words were silent: "Sorry, brothers, I did my best..."
Then, everything fell into silence.
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?"
Every time Yujin, the overworked corporate slave, thought back to these words, he hated himself for clicking the "yes" option.
If he hadn't clicked it, maybe he wouldn't have fallen into such a dead-end situation!
"This time, not many new players. Looks like the movie 'Grudge' isn't that hard. Let's just cut it short and get it over with. Easier that way."
"Ah!"
Screams echoed around him, but Yujin had already gone numb.
His eyes were gouged out, his limbs severed.
Like several others trapped in jars around him—the "survivors of the cycle space"—he had been turned into a human pig.
Every time they cleared a horror movie, these human pigs would return to the Lord God Space in a flash of white light.
Then, the survival rewards they earned were traded to three members of the breeding team: Da Qiang, Er Niu, and Meng Yao.
Because multiple human pigs combined their points to support these three, their individual strength was overwhelming.
Also, the trio controlled the number of cycle squad members, which allowed them to adjust the difficulty.
So this team's survival rate was very high. They almost always crushed horror movies.
Luckily!
Yujin, as one of the human pigs, was still "fortunate" not to have been abandoned due to difficulty control.
But living was no different from being dead.
Without hands, feet, or even eyes, his life was only temporary.
In this dangerous cycle world, every second counted to improve oneself.
He had already "smoothly" survived three horror movies, but the difficulty had multiplied many times.
If his calculation was correct, his life wouldn't last much longer.
'Fine, let's just say I died the moment I clicked yes.'
"Boom—"
The violent shaking tossed Yujin wildly inside the wine jar!
He felt the world spinning around him!
"Crack!"
The jar shattered!
The blaring horn of a car nearby made Yujin realize a very serious problem!
He had actually fallen out of the truck transporting human pigs!
"Qiang! We lost a pig!"
"Forget the pig! Damn it! Kayako is chasing us! Step on the gas! This thing is ruthless! Run first!"
A biting cold swept through Yujin's entire body!
In an instant, he felt like he had been thrown naked from a high cliff into a seventy-degree-below-zero Arctic abyss!
Cold!
So cold he felt like dying!
He shivered, trying to hug himself for warmth.
But where were his arms?
His hands had long been chopped off by the vicious woman named Meng Yao's small knife.
The piercing chill reached from his spiritual senses deep into his heart!
"Giggling~"
A strange sound echoed in his ears.
Having seen the horror movie "Grudge" before, Yujin quickly understood.
The movie's boss, Kayako, was standing right in front of him!
"Giggling!"
The sound coming from Kayako's throat made every hair on Yujin's body stand on end!
This was a chill that came from his very genes!
"Giggling…"
As the sound grew closer, the overworked Yujin suddenly felt a powerful surge of survival instinct from deep within!
"I'm not willing to give up!"
Those three damn bastards!
"I must see them dead!"
"I will repay them tenfold for everything they did to me!"
"I can't die."
"I won't die!"
"Just let me live a few more days."
"Please!"
"Damn you, God!"
"Buzz!"
At that moment!
Yujin suddenly realized he 'saw' something!
No!
It wasn't something his eyes saw.
It came from the deepest part of his soul — a spiritual power!
At the same time, countless memories flooded into his mind.
"Terror Infinity?!"
"Lord God Space?!"
In an instant, memories synchronized, and Yujin understood what was happening to him!
Gene lock.
1st Level.
Unlocked!!!
Meanwhile, outside Konoha Village, in the forest—
A leaf drifted down with the wind and landed beside Uchiha Yujin, who lay in a pool of blood.
His pinky finger twitched slightly.
