geb!geb!

The man who just sold you licorice and twisters realizes your threat to the ritual. His body begins to undergo a terrible transformation, and so does everyone else around him.

They shed their skins, exposing their bio-robotic bodies. Even their sizes start to change—the fat ones become fatter, and the skinny ones get even slimmer.

They change as you start charging, and now you find yourselves amidst a confrontation.

Many of them are significantly damaged by you, but they still manage to block you from the few that remain in human form, who are still keeping the ritual running.

A dark mist begins to appear. It still needs a catalyst to display its true form, which the cultists are about to provide.

You are not going to succeed!

I don't have a clear shot!

Take this then—

Ayla swings her scythe hard, tossing it toward the ritual.

The scythe spins over everyone, flying directly into the dark mist—

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

After absorbing the unexpected catalyst, the mist begins to take shape.

Your trivial damage cannot stop the God...! Our lord will arrive soon!

The chaotic mist forms a shell, which then turns into skin and flesh.

And then, something arrives—

——

——

Everyone

——

Everyone has their eyes wide open, staring at it.

It has a square shape with three layers, emitting a strange smell. It is—

A bacon sandwich.

...

...

...Pff.

You had a point, but Purple Peony wasn't simply a weapon. She is a piece of art that I put my soul in, you know?

So it's completely normal for it to turn into my favorite bacon sandwich, don't you think?

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA—

Starting from the shop owner, all the ritual participants that are still standing start to scream.

Just like always, they then turn into ashes.

But no metal plate can be found this time.

Hey, can I talk to the designer? There's no consistency in player experience!

Narration

Your performance was way too good, even the narrator was rendered speechless. He has almost forgotten the one and only purpose—

There is no metal plate, because I'd like to tell you the good news myself. You have proven yourselves and do not need a letter of invitation.

Instead, the last test will be available whenever you are ready, students.

Keep up the good performance, and Director Toro will be satisfied. The winner from you will take over his legacy.

After the narration, you find an ordinary wooden door in front of you.

Narration

You have plenty of time to prepare before entering the final door.

I see. I know what this is all about!

This must be the final exam of Camp Inferno. The only problem is... No students were ever able to pass all the tests. That's why Camp Inferno got discontinued...

Director Toro never got to retire after that. He had been working on films until he passed away during the shooting of "Final Escape 2"...
