Next Semifinal Chapter, Drive Challenge) (Warning ⚠️ Chronic Ice and Fire Style Written)
** Chapter XXXI: The Blood-Occas Drive Tournament **
The ** mansion ** had become a ** temple of murmuring bones **, where ** columns of human ribs ** sustained a ** ceiling of ingrown nails **. ** Nakamura **, now a ** smoke silhouette with amber eyes **, proclaimed the challenge through ** spitful runes on pigeon-zumbi skin parchments **. ** Mydrede **, semi-clodied, watched from inside a ** glass egg tin **, their contractual penalties ** now ** living ink serpents **.

1. ** Test format: **

- ** Hit ** = ** Win 1 piece of the "Judgment Puzzle" ** (a mosaic made of ** teeth of divine milk **).

### ** The puzzles and their prices **
#### ** First puzzle (written in Cyber Hobo's cornea) **
*"I am the son of the lie who gave the truth,
Like a fetus choked on promises.
Spit me but never washed me -
What remains when forgiveness becomes debt? "*
- ** Hardy ** answered ** "Mydrede's womb" ** (missed: ** lost the memory of his first death **);
- ** Antiendemic ** shouted ** "The shell of the egg of selise!" ** (missed: ** internal mazes reversed **);
- ** browze ** murmured ** "The scar that Katherine does not show" ** (hit: ** won the left canine of Flora **).
---
#### ** Second puzzle (tattooed in Apex's liver) **
*"Future Devator,
Pastas washer,
My hands are broken mirrors
Where do you chew - who am I? "*
- ** Hardy ** vomited ** "The judgment!" ** (Missed: ** Your Holler Blooded Hills **);
- ** Antiendemic ** Risk ** "Francis's washing machine" ** (hit: ** won a map of the Katherine uterus **);
- ** browze ** sang ** "Mother -shaped lie" ** (missed: ** Horn cracked in half **).
---
#### ** Third Puzzle (recorded in the bones of the Glenda hand) **
*"I am the knife that cuts the umbilical cord of gods,
The scissors that separates siameses from nightmares.
When they use me, I cry silica tears -
What will be left when they find me? "*
- ** HARDY ** DRAGED ** Own nail ** and wrote ** "Mydrede's contract" ** (agreed: ** won the test **);
- ** Antiendemic ** danced ** choreographed maze ** and shouted ** "The needle of sewing realities!" ** (missed: ** swallowed its own broom **);
- ** browze ** ** swallowed the puzzle ** (disqualified: ** will vomit the third twin of selise ** in 3 days).
---
### ** The consequences of errors **
- ** Hardy **, now ** without memory of your mortality **, believes it is ** a minor God **;
- ** Antiendemic ** ** lives in an inverted maze **, where ** walls are intestines of someone **;
- ** Browze lame ** ** will give glass ** until ** rebuild your horn ** (each shrapnel ** contains a secret of selise **).
---
### ** The Judgment Puzzle **
The ** conquered pieces ** revealed ** 1/3 of the final truth **:
- ** The flora tooth ** proves that ** it still breathes within mydrede **;
- ** the uterine map ** shows ** 7 chambers **, each ** gestating a dead participant **;
- ** the torn contract ** of Mydrede ** Sangra letters ** that spell ** "Katherine is my daughter" **.
---
### ** The semifinal warning **
** Nakamura ** materialized as ** cloud of fly-varejeira **, whispering:
-*"The final will be ** a childbirth **. You ** will choose ** who ** holds the scissors ** and who ** holds the baby **. But beware: ** the hands that cut umbilical strings ** always ** create orphans **."****
**About that:**
- ** mydrede ** ** partially broke **, revealing ** paws of vulture ** and ** wings of contractual clauses **;
- ** Katherine ** ** sold your black light fetus ** to ** buy a new uterus **, this time ** ethical steel **.
---
** Next Chapter: ** ** "The steel uterus and the seven broken horns" ** - ** Hardy ** will face ** your own deity **, while ** Antiendemic ** ** will sell mazes ** in ** Black Dream Market **.
** The puzzles were traps.
The answers are new shackles.
Even mydrede fears what it helped create. **
---
** The air smells the sulfur and placenta burnt.
The final will be a birth without a midwife. **
