Chapter 59 - 108,116 (1)

Holy crap!

What the hell is this thing?

It's not a vengeful ghost.

It's not a ghost story.

What is that?

Is this a scene that often appears in movies?

And the supernatural world is indeed very supernatural.

There are tombstones from a hundred years ago, as well as bones that have turned into fossils.

Jiang Qiao suddenly felt something.

Is the timeline of this world messed up?

...

[On the fifty-second day, you discovered a village in the wasteland.]

The village was full of living people!

All the search team members were stunned.

Because in their minds, the supernatural world only contains vengeful ghosts!

Your arrival has put the village on high alert.

A bell rang.

You smell a faint scent of incense ash in the air.

A semi-transparent substance rises from the village, arousing your suspicion.

Because you sensed that this was a fifth-tier power!

[Day 53. Through friendly negotiations by the search team, you have established initial trust with the villagers.]

Because the two sides do not speak the same language, they can only communicate through pictures and gestures.

You've discovered that quite a few people in the search team are excellent artists!

You around the village and discover that all the sneak villagers are actually ordinary people!

The power you saw yesterday came from the ancestral hall in the center of the village.

You sneaked inside and found it filled with countless memorial tablets.

You don't recognize the characters on these memorial tablets, but they seem to resemble talismans.

...

Jiang Qiao was watching the screen and taking notes when...

Outside the hotel.

A black sedan was parked on the side of the road.

A man in a suit got out of the car, adjusted his glasses, and said casually, "I don't actually recommend coming to find this newcomer."

"He has already attracted the attention of the authorities. Under the current circumstances, it is not appropriate for us to openly confront the authorities."

"Bang--"

A loud slam of the door rang out.

A gaunt man dressed entirely in black emerged from the passenger seat.

Hearing the refined man's words, he grinned, revealing a cruel smile.

"It's just a little mouse, don't worry about it."

"Besides, the beggar asked us to take that river bridge back instead of killing it outright. That's already very merciful."

The refined man stopped in his tracks after hearing what Kuroko said.

He frowned and said, "Hei Zi, you are also a dual Awakener, you should understand this newcomer's potential."

"Once he chooses to join the government, he will definitely be protected with all his might."

Kuroko narrowed his eyes, a dangerous aura appearing on his face.

Are you teaching me how to do things?

"Or are you planning to betray the evil beggar?"

"I don't care, but with the skinner's life hanging in the balance, you're suggesting we back down? Guess what the beggar is thinking?"

Hei Zi looked at the refined man and a malicious smile appeared on his lips.

The refined man smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Soon, the two entered the hotel.

The officials guarding the perimeter ignored them, as if they hadn't seen them at all.

The two took the elevator and quickly arrived at the third floor.

As they entered the corridor, they attracted the attention of two Awakened Ones.

Who are you?

One of the young men, in his early twenties, asked warily, his right hand unconsciously reaching for his waist.

"We are Jiang Qiao's friends, and we need to talk to him about something."

The refined man still wore a warm smile, making people unable to put their guard down.

"I'll ask around for you."

8Ьоок. COM

The official Awakened One took out his phone, intending to contact his superior.

However, at this very moment...

Kuroko's eyes suddenly turned gold.

He looked into the eyes of the two awakened ones.

The other person froze instantly and then blankly stepped aside.

"No need for that."

"We can go there ourselves."

Hei Zi chuckled and walked straight to Jiang Qiao's room.

...

[On the fifty-fourth day, you left the village and set off again.]

You discover that there aren't as many vengeful ghosts in the supernatural world as you imagined.

Along your journey, you've only encountered a few scattered individuals, and none of them were particularly strong.

This makes you very confused.

[On the fifty-fifth day, you pass by a pond and suddenly see a monk standing on the water, giving you a strange smile.]

You find that it carries vitality and life force, and judge it to be a strange creature.

After the monk mysteriously spotted you, he emerged from the water and tried to follow you.

Your punches are like thunder, and will-o'-the-wisps flicker.

It was successfully reduced to ashes.

Only then did you realize that its strength had actually reached the fourth tier!

[Day 56. You found a row of vending machines by the roadside.]

The display case contained incense, candles, paper money, and blank portraits of the deceased.

You threw in some Xia Kingdom coins, but there was no reaction.

Nothing fell out, and your money wasn't refunded.

You're very angry about this!

So you unleashed a powerful punch, smashing it into scrap metal.

The goods inside were scattered all over the floor.

You put them all into the ghost skin bag.

[...]

[On the sixtieth day, you discovered another village inhabited by living people.]

The population here is significantly higher than that of the previous village.

So they were very curious about your arrival.

The village chief came out leaning on his cane and started babbling on and on, but you couldn't understand a word he was saying.

So the search team members communicated with them again using drawings.

[Day 61. You became interested in the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.]

This tree is enormous; its root system even covers an area of two miles around the entire village.

This is absolutely shocking!

You sensed the strength of a peak fifth-tier being emanating from it!

[Day 62. You are sleeping. Suddenly you sense something entering the room.]

You open your eyes and see a leaf on the table.

The leaves were covered with crooked scratches, but a few could still be made out: Leave here, danger!

You gathered the leaves and went straight to the big locust tree at the village entrance.

You tried to communicate with it, but to no avail.

[On the sixty-third day, you left the village and continued your journey, eventually arriving at a strange forest.]

The expedition team stopped and sketched the surrounding environment.

They believed the expedition had yielded fruitful results and there was no need to risk going further.

"It's that leaf again."

Jiang Qiao just wanted to curse the designer's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Are you trying to be your mother's riddle teller?

If you have something to say, just say it directly.

Sending a leaf looks like a hammer!

Just as Jiang Qiao was ranting and raving, his door was suddenly kicked open!

"Bang"

The loud noise startled Jiang Qiao, who immediately stood up and looked towards the door.

At that moment, two evolved beings swaggered into the house.

"You must be Jiang Qiao? Come with us."

Hei Zi chuckled, a fierce glint in his eyes.

Jiang Qiao frowned as he looked at the two people in front of him.

Where did this club come from?

They're not very capable, but they're quite arrogant.

He kicked the door open when he entered.

This is not a good habit.

"Coal Ball, didn't your mother teach you to knock before entering the house?"

Are you an orphan?

Jiang Qiao asked with a curious look.

Upon hearing this, Hei Zi's arrogant smile gradually disappeared.

Instead, a strong sense of murderous intent lingered.

He said in a sinister tone, "Kid, cut out your tongue and apologize to me, and I'll pretend this never happened."

"Otherwise..."

I'll fucking scare you!

Jiang Qiao suddenly shouted angrily.

His arms were quickly covered with strange cyan runes, and in a flash, he was slammed into the black piece!

Overestimating yourself!

Seeing Jiang Qiao take the initiative to attack, Hei Zi's eyes revealed disdain and mockery.

"Now even if I beat you to death or cripple you, the beggar will have nothing to say."

Immediately, he raised his hand to intercept Jiang Qiao's hand.

He was ready; once he grabbed the other person's hand, he twisted it off.

Let him know what the consequences are for offending a senior!

However...

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Hei Zi was sent flying by Jiang Qiao's punch, crashing through three layers of walls before falling heavily to the ground.

The fourth-tier invincible body, coupled with the "critical hit" bonus, is simply beyond what the third-tier peak Kuroko can stand.

The refined-looking man who hadn't made a move was terrified.

Is this some kind of newbie?

You're kidding me!

Thinking to himself, the refined man quickly took off his gloves and lunged at Jiang Qiao.

But before he could get close, he was knocked over by a golden keyboard that crackled with lightning.

On the other side, Kuroko slowly crawled up from the ruins.

"Cough cough..."

After coughing a few times, Hei Zi, his face covered in blood, raised his head and looked at Jiang Qiao in the living room.

A fierce aura crept up his brow.

You asked for it!

In an instant, a golden light appeared in Kuroko's eyes.

At the same time, Jiang Qiao also heard a "thump thump thump" sound, like a heart beating.

And his own heart was beating in sync with the sound of that heartbeat.

It seems there's some kind of connection between them!

However, this feeling quickly disappeared, because Kuroko was lying on the ground covered in blood, and the attack was interrupted.

"This...how is this possible?"

He stared at Jiang Qiao in horror.

His curse on Jiang Qiao failed because of the existence of the "Overlord Body".

But regardless of success or failure, he himself suffered from the rebound damage of the "reverse damage storm".

At this time, multiple internal organs are ruptured and bled.

"hehe."

Jiang Qiao raised the golden keyboard once again.

It slammed fiercely at the black ball!

"Ah!" With a piercing pain, Kuroko let out a scream.

But the next moment, he could no longer call out.

To his surprise, his vision shifted, and he seemed to be rolling around.

"How...how is this possible?"

The man in the suit lay on the ground, staring at everything in shock.

He didn't expect that Kuroko's ability would be so easily broken by the opponent.

This is a well-known secondary evolutionist in the industry.

You have more than two abilities!

The man in the suit looked up at Jiang Qiao, his face turning pale.

"So what?"

⑧boOk.com

Jiang Qiao shrugged and picked up the keyboard again.

...

[Day 64. The expedition team decided to return.]

They believe that safety should be the primary concern in every exploration of the paranormal world.

Explore step by step, making sure to thoroughly investigate the surrounding area.

You think that makes a lot of sense.

[On the sixty-fifth day, on your way back, you hear a car horn behind you.]

You turn around and see a bus driving across the wasteland!

The bus looked brand new and clean, completely out of place in this eerie world.

You look through the car window and see that there are quite a few people sitting inside.

Men, women, young and old are all included.

You thought it wasn't a good thing, so you led the expedition team back, trying to get far away from it.

[On the sixty-sixth day, you returned to the Big Locust Tree Village.]

At that moment, the bus we had encountered earlier was parked at the village entrance.

Several elderly villagers waved behind them, boarded the car, and seemed to be preparing for a long trip.

However, what you see in the eyes of the other villagers is fear!

[...]

Day 70. After several days of unremitting efforts.

The expedition team communicated with the other party through drawings and finally managed to figure out some information about the local area.

The exact date of the village's establishment is unknown.

Even the oldest person in the village can't explain the village's origins.

From the moment they were born, the outside world was already a wasteland.

With the protection of the big locust tree at the village entrance, villagers are safe as long as they do not leave the village within a mile.

According to some information passed down from generation to generation.

At the edge of the wasteland, there may exist human cities where people live in wealth and peace, free from the torment of vengeful ghosts.

This attracted many people to go and search for it.

Unfortunately, no one has returned to this day.

So we don't know whether they succeeded or not.

The expedition team inquired about the bus.

The village chief tells you that thing comes through the village every so often to take away the dying people in the village.

But they didn't know where the bus was headed.

[Day 71. You have left the village and are preparing to return home.]

However, you suddenly suggest that we stay and observe the village from the surrounding area.

The expedition team agreed to your suggestion.

[...]

[Day 75. After several days of observation, you have not found anything amiss.]

The supernatural world is a dark, black-and-white place with no distinction between day and night.

However, the villagers still maintain a very regular daily routine.

They planted some strange but edible plants around the village, and there were also several wells in the village.

It is entirely possible to be self-sufficient.

This is a closed-off little world, where you live your life behind closed doors.

[Day 76. You are woken up from your sleep.]

The expedition team was in complete chaos, everyone staring in shock into the distance.

You discover that the village with the big locust tree at its entrance has vanished into thin air.

All that remains are some collapsed ruins.

Send two members of the inspection team to check the situation.

They found piles of bones in the village, some of which showed signs of being gnawed by teeth.

This place looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

You ordered that observation continue for a few more days.

[On the seventy-seventh day, you discover that the abandoned village has returned to its normal state.]

The villagers were either doing farm work, chatting, or laughing and playing around.

He didn't seem depressed or desperate because of living in a supernatural world.

[...]

[On the ninetieth day, after careful observation, you discovered that the village becomes deserted for one day out of every fifteen days.]

[Day Ninety-One. You officially embark on your journey home.]

Not long after leaving Huai Shu Village, you encountered a funeral procession on the road.

A group of vengeful ghosts dressed in white mourning clothes carried a black coffin, playing suona horns along the way, until they finally disappeared below the horizon.

⑧Ьооk. com

A woman playing the flute wandering in the wilderness.

A brand new bus.

A village that suddenly became a deserted village.

A ghost funeral procession.

As Jiang Qiao recounted the situations encountered during the simulation, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

He always thought that entering the supernatural world would involve fighting against heaven and earth and all kinds of battles.

Surprisingly, I haven't actually done anything to it so far.

Instead, they witnessed many incomprehensible paranormal phenomena.

During his time in Huai Shu Village, he received a warning that he should leave immediately because the village was dangerous.

In retrospect, this reminder was correct.

That village does indeed have serious problems.

"I wonder which little rascal is tipping me off."

Jiang Qiao murdered something.

"Could it be that big locust tree?"

Apart from the village that can transform.

The final "ghost funeral procession" was also quite extraordinary.

He recalled encountering a "ghost wedding" on the thirty-fifth day after the supernatural resurgence!

I feel there must be some connection between the two.

After all, it's a one-stop shop for weddings and funerals.

Unfortunately, the final destination of the "ghost wedding" is a bottomless cave in the real world that is also very good at sucking blood.

Therefore, it is difficult to explore it effectively.

...

Haicheng.

Bailong Building.

"Why haven't we heard anything from Kuroko and Ghost Hand yet?"

The beggar asked, frowning.

"They've probably been detained by someone, hehehehehehe."

On the opposite sofa, a woman dressed in extremely revealing clothing casually propped her legs up on the table, seemingly unconcerned about being spied on.

Her codename is "Red Spider".

The power comes from the vengeful ghost clinging to his back.

This vengeful ghost is like a jealous husband. Every time someone peeks at "Red Spider," it becomes extremely angry and attacks and kills the voyeur!

With this vengeful ghost, "Red Spider's" strength is now comparable to the peak of the third tier!

Upon hearing the woman's words, the beggar instinctively shook his head.

That's impossible.

"Kuroko's strength has reached the peak of the third tier, and he is also a dual-evolver. How could he possibly be detained?"

"Besides, that refined scoundrel went along too; we can't all be detained, can we?"

Although "Ghost Hand" usually keeps a low profile, how could he be a weakling who has become a member of the Beggar Clan?

With the two of them working together, even if they encounter someone they can't defeat, they won't be left without a chance to escape.

"However, this matter is indeed somewhat unusual."

"Send some people to investigate that hotel, but don't alert them."

"Do not send evolved beings there either."

...

[On the ninety-second day, you returned to the first village, but did not enter it rashly.]

Because you plan to observe for a while before making a decision.

[...]

[Day 100. After several days of observation, you discover that the village has not become an abandoned village.]

[Day 101. The expedition team once again engaged in friendly exchanges with the villagers.]

[...]

[Day 103. You notice that the villagers often put dry straw and black stones into the ancestral hall.]

After observation.

You discover that this is a method for creating paranormal items.

It's just rather rough.

You believe that after further processing, they can be turned into supernatural weapons!

After speaking with the expedition team, you suggested that next time you could bring some daily necessities to trade with them.

[Day 104. You are preparing to leave.]

A thick fog suddenly appeared outside the village.

The villagers warned you not to leave the village unnecessarily on foggy days.

8вОок. com

You stand at the village entrance and observe.

Something seemed to be moving constantly within the fog.

It also made a rustling sound, like an iron chain being dragged on the ground.

You interacted with the people in the village.

They tell you that, according to tradition, whenever fog descends, it signifies a great disaster has occurred somewhere.

Those things in the mist are said to be dead people being escorted by ghostly soldiers!

But no one dared to venture into the fog to explore.

[...]

[Day 109. You have successfully returned to the real world.]

The authorities attach great importance to this exploration and the intelligence it has uncovered.

The inspection team immediately began to coordinate with relevant departments.

You were invited to a secret meeting with a special department administrator that lasted two hours.

Day 110. In the early morning, you suddenly feel something moving around in the living room.

You get up and go to check.

They discovered that more than a dozen dead bodies were hanging from the living room ceiling.

These people had only been dead for a short time; their legs were still trembling slightly.

You are puzzled by this.

But that doesn't stop you from calling the special departments to come over.

[Day 111. You sense that something strange and unsettling is happening in the capital.]

You don't intend to stay in the local area and participate in their fighting.

You plan to wait until they've finished fighting before making your appearance.

That night, you secretly left the capital in stealth mode.

[Day 112. You suddenly encounter a "hellish fairy tale" on the highway outside the capital.]

They were also surprised to see you.

I recognized him in his eyes; he was the one I wanted to kill!

You had a conflict!

You've discovered that Snow White is just one step away from the seventh level.

[Day 113. After a day of bloody battle, you severely damaged them, but you yourself were also seriously injured.]

[Day 114. You are attacked by a group of awakened beings.]

Holding the keyboard, you smashed that confident, fourth-tier leader to death.

But something is very wrong with these awakened ones.

They showed no signs of disarray even after their leader died.

Still charging towards you fearlessly!

[Day 115. You bathed in blood, slaying all the Awakened, and prayed for your recovery.]

You found an identity inscription on them: a prayer meeting!

Just as you were about to leave, you saw a purple cloud drifting across the distant sky.

You sensed something was wrong with it.

So he opened his double pupils, wanting to take a look.

The next moment.

Your eye has popped out.

You are dead.

...

[The eerie simulation has ended]

[The host has survived for a total of 115 days, with a cooldown period of 230 minutes.]

[Congratulations, host! You have gained the talent "Wish" in this simulation. It will be automatically used in the next simulation.]

...

"Whoa—"

After Jiang Qiao finished recording the important information, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

During this simulation, he basically treated it like a trip, wandering around and seeing everything.

And the final death was even more surreal.

One look and you're dead!

He suddenly remembered the seven-colored light deep within Hualong Mountain.

The two look very similar.

The only difference is that anyone can see the seven-colored light, and anyone who sees it will die.

But for ordinary people, seeing this purple cloud is harmless.

Only someone like Jiang Qiao, who possesses the ability to see and perceive reality, could become a victim.

"Grass!"

8BOK. COM

"The capital city is indeed not simple."

Jiang Qiao poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

The northward journey of "Hell Fairy Tale" was likely summoned by an organization called "Light".

Does this mean there's a conflict between the authorities and them?

And that purple cloud.

It's very similar to that thing on Hualong Mountain.

However, Jiang Qiao did not absorb any ghost energy and died immediately.

That's outrageous!

"To uncover the secrets, the sixth rank is not enough."

"One must reach at least the peak of the seventh rank to be fearless against any enemy in the real world!"

I glanced at the cooldown time, which was over three hours.

Jiang Qiao got up, tidied himself up, and prepared to attend the gathering hosted by Zhu Yuandong.

He originally thought that after so many things had happened, he and the "new humans" had become enemies.

Little did he know that Zhu Yuandong had just called and was still inviting him to the party.

During the phone call, Jiang Qiao realized that the other party was unaware that he had already killed someone.

They all thought the three guys were just being held in custody.

Zhu Yuandong frankly told Jiang Qiao that even though he was an official, he hoped to consider joining their organization.

Jiang Qiao thought about it carefully.

An awakened individual capable of defeating three top masters: "Skinner," "Blackie," and "Ghost Hand."

It's normal for them to be sought after and courted by all sides.

In particular, the person behind Zhu Yuandong has a very bad relationship with the beggar.

This made them even more concerned about the river bridge.

As for the potential dangers?

Anyway, they won't let you into the inner circle right away.

Let's get people into the organization first.

They'll find ways to put you in a difficult position, leaving you no choice but to stick with them.

"hehe."

Jiang Qiao gave a cold laugh.

This group of people probably intends to use me as a tool.

"It's okay, in my eyes you are all tools, not people."

...

White Horse Club.

Jiang Qiao activated his "stealth" mode and quietly set up several "blood sacrifice" formations nearby.

The key to the formation was a group of "new human" awakened individuals who were secretly killed that afternoon.

He discovered that although the organization was founded by evolved individuals, it actually had quite a few awakened individuals.

After preparations are complete.

He returned to the main gate, removed his disguise, and swaggered inside.

I checked the time; it was 6 PM.

The party is about to officially begin, and there are hardly any ordinary people to be seen in the entire club.

Even standing outside the door, you can feel an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

Jiang Qiao showed the invitation, and the security guard immediately said respectfully, "Mr. Jiang, please come in. Mr. Zhu will be here shortly."

"Um."

Jiang Qiao chuckled softly and slowly walked inside.

This gathering mainly consisted of members of the "New Humans" North District and individuals with special abilities who were closely related to them.

Jiang Qiao only recently learned that the so-called Northern District actually consists of five cities in the northern part of the Xia Kingdom.

They are Bincheng, Lincheng, Yangcheng, Ancheng, and Mucheng.

The entire North District has one chief steward, three deputy chief stewards, twenty-four deacons, and thousands of people with special abilities.

They are extremely powerful.

"Wow, this newcomer is so young? I heard he's a dual awakener."

"I don't know if he's a dual Awakener. But it's absolutely true that he suppressed the Blackie under the Beggar's command this afternoon."

"That's awesome?"

"It seems the beggar is also sending people over tonight."

"Hehe, this is going to be interesting."

"..."

As soon as Jiang Qiao entered, he attracted a lot of attention, and many people began to whisper among themselves.

His actions that afternoon caused a great sensation within the entire "New Humans" community.

The more senior members all understand the bloodshed and cruelty that the name "Kuroko" represents!

He not only enjoys wiping out entire families at the drop of a hat.

Furthermore, they enjoy controlling the behavior of others, causing mothers to kill their sons and sons to kill their fathers.

To find pleasure in the painful infighting of others!

But this freakish guy is actually a dual-evolver at the peak of the third tier!

This level of skill puts them in the top tier of the entire industry!

No one dares to provoke them.

But now, the "haters" have been suppressed by a newcomer!

So everyone is speculating about the extent of this young man named Jiang Qiao's strength.

(8) book.com

...

Jiang Qiao ignored their gazes and comments.

He wandered to a corner of the banquet hall and leisurely began drinking his favorite soda.

The grand formation has been set up.

The entire club is just a bunch of dead people.

I don't care what they say.

Just as he took out his phone, ready to read a novel for a while...

Suddenly a soft, alluring voice came from behind:

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

"I heard that you defeated all the villains under the Beggar's command. Truly, a hero emerges from among the young."

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Qiao instinctively turned around.

He noticed a beautiful woman in a cheongsam standing behind him.

Who are you?

Jiang Qiao's eyes involuntarily swept over the other person's rabbit, and he gasped.

The real culprit!

However, he then raised an eyebrow slightly.

The hater must be that good-for-nothing who's as hard as coal, right?

Is it very famous?

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yu Shasha, and I am a deacon in the North District."

The woman smiled charmingly.

"Depend on!"

Jiang Qiao looked at the other person's rabbit again, his expression somewhat strange.

I'm in the simulator...

This woman seems to be an undercover agent for the government, right?

"Hmm? Mr. Jiang, what's wrong?"

Do I have flowers on me?

Seeing Jiang Qiao's gaze, Yu Shasha smiled and said.

She was unaware that Jiang Qiao had reached a temporary cooperation agreement with the authorities.

After all, she was just an undercover agent, not the department head.

However, she knew that Jiang Qiao had been in contact with the officials in the afternoon, which is why she came over to try to get to know them.

She was also very curious about this powerful Awakened One.

If this person could join the government, it would certainly be of great help to the deteriorating situation.

"It's nothing, I just have a great figure and I couldn't help but glance at it a few more times."

Jiang Qiao said something casually, then looked openly at Yu Shasha.

"Thanks."

Yu Shasha smiled sweetly.

But inwardly he cursed, "What a lewd bastard!"

Just as she was about to find a topic to talk about with Jiang Qiao.

Suddenly, a bald man led a group of people straight over.

The bald man first stared at Yu Shasha with a lecherous look, then licked his lips.

The sight of that gave Yu Shasha goosebumps, and she instinctively hugged her chest.

Hehehe.

With a sinister smile, the bald man looked at Jiang Qiao again and asked with ill intent:

"Brother Jiang, is it appropriate for someone like you, an official, to attend a gathering of new humans?"

The bald man's voice wasn't loud, but it eerily carried throughout the entire venue.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

All was quiet, and everyone's attention was drawn to this.

"Hey, that's... Deputy Chief Steward Gao Yi?"

Someone recognized the bald man and made a surprised sound.

"Hey, it really is! Wasn't he always in Yangcheng? And I heard he has a terrible relationship with President Zhu, so why would he come to this gathering?"

"I heard that Gao Yi was trained by the Evil Beggar Lord."

"Someone in the know said in a low voice."

"hiss--"

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and they showed excited expressions.

"This is going to be good!"

© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.

This is going to be good!"

Whether they are Evolvers or Awakeners, many of them are just troublemakers.

In their hearts, they couldn't be happier for Jiang Qiao and Gao Yi to fight!

Many people started stirring up trouble.

"No way, no way, he can't actually be an official, can he?"

"Yeah, yeah, the authorities just shut down so many of our businesses, and they still dare to send people to this gathering?"

"Even if you're an expert, you can't be this arrogant, can you?"

Some people hypocritically said:

"I don't think that's possible. Why don't we have him prove he's not an official?"

Everyone looked on with amusement, as if they were watching a good show.

⒏ЬσoK. соm

Jiang Qiao completely ignored the others.

He looked at the bald man with amusement, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Is your name Gao Yi?

He had just heard someone mention the bald man's name.

This reminded him of the young woman named Bai Jie he had met in Yangcheng.

He had previously thought that Gao Yi would look similar to a character in a novel from before he transmigrated.

To my surprise, he turned out to be completely bald!

And it's damn shiny!

"That's right, I am Gao Yi. May I ask what official position Brother Jiang holds?"

The bald man said with a smile.

Jiang Qiao nodded, his smile growing even brighter: "Has anyone ever told you a piece of advice?"

"Oh?"

What did you say?

Gao Yi asked with a smile.

"Your head looks like a light bulb from afar, but a head up close. If you count the strands of hair carefully, you'll find there's no hair at all."

After saying that, Jiang Qiao slapped Gao Yi on the head.

"Smack!"

A crisp sound rang out.

The previously noisy and bustling meeting room suddenly fell silent.

Utter silence!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Jiang Qiao's hand.

This scene was beyond their expectations.

Holy crap!

Should we take direct action?

In their view, Gao Yi had a good grasp of the situation, neither provoking Jiang Qiao too much nor making Jiang Qiao lose face.

In this situation.

Most people might deny it.

They might scoff at it.

There might be some anger.

Perhaps they'll retaliate.

Some people even admitted outright that they wouldn't play with you at all.

But no one expected that Jiang Qiao would choose to take action in public.

Moreover, he slapped Gao Yi, the deputy general manager of the North District, with such an insulting gesture!

It's like asking someone on the street, "What are you looking at?"

As a result, the other party pulled out a butcher's knife and slashed you twice!

"hehe."

Jiang Qiao nonchalantly withdrew his hand and took out a napkin to wipe it.

Afterwards, he stuffed the napkin into Gao Yi's pocket.

At this moment, the warm smile that had been on Gao Yi's face was gone.

His face flushed slightly, and he looked extremely angry.

However, he dared not make any rash moves.

Although Jiang Qiao was smiling, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Gao Yi understood perfectly.

This person can even suppress haters.

One may not necessarily be the opponent.

And the so-called deputy general manager of the North District is even less likely to make the other party wary!

After all, Jiang Qiao dared to offend even a wicked beggar.

He originally came here on orders from above to test Jiang Qiao's character, not to actually fight him.

Now that we've discovered the other person is crazy.

That's enough.

There's no need to dwell on this any longer.

Thinking about this...

He didn't say anything more.

He nodded to Jiang Qiao and prepared to leave.

But after taking only two steps, a sinister voice came from behind.

"Who let you leave?"

Jiang Qiao's tone was icy.

"They come up to me, spout a few words, and then turn around and leave."

"Do you think I'm a dumping ground?"

Gao Yi's expression changed slightly. He stopped and squinted, asking, "So what do you want to do?"

As he spoke, the group of people behind him became alert and involuntarily reached for their waists.

The atmosphere inside the arena immediately became tense, as if swords were about to be drawn.

Seeing this, Yu Shasha, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but feel nervous.

Jiang Qiao is powerful, and he's not aligned with the "Newtypes." Although she's unsure of his connection to the authorities, Yu Shasha decides to make contact anyway.

If the other party is indeed an official, then of course everyone is happy.

If not, then try to gradually get the other party closer to the official side, or even to join the official side.

"I'll step in to help once they start."

After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Shasha made a decision in her heart.

After all, this gathering was initiated by Zhu Yuandong, and she was one of Zhu Yuandong's subordinates.

It's no secret that Zhu Yuandong and Vice President Cui behind him wanted to win over Jiang Qiao.

In this situation, there's not much of a problem with her taking action.

They won't expose themselves.

8bοоК. сОm

...

What do I want to do?

"I want to arrest you and put you in the company of Hei Zi and his gang."

Jiang Qiao smiled faintly and pulled out a keyboard disguised as a guzheng from his waist.

At this point, Zhu Yuandong, the organizer of the gathering, still hadn't shown up.

If nothing unexpected happens, this farce was simply written and directed by the "new humans".

Since that's the case, let's play!

When Gao Yi saw the talismans appearing on the "guzheng" in Jiang Qiao's hand, he was immediately shocked.

He knew things couldn't end well!

Since that's the case.

Then strike first!

"Let's do it!"

With a low shout, he suddenly made his move, grabbing directly at Jiang Qiao!

In his hands, a giant blue net rapidly expanded and covered the river bridge!

This is his ability: Ghost Net!

Once trapped in this giant blue net, neither humans nor ghosts can move.

It's an extremely terrifying control ability!

At the same time, he pulled out an old-fashioned revolver with his left hand.

In an instant!

A strong, nauseating stench of blood assaulted the senses.

This gun is called "Blood Flower".

It was once soaked in a pool of blood in the supernatural world!

However, before Gao Yi could make his next move...

"Clap clap clap!"

A sudden clatter of keyboard clicks rang out.

Virtual keyboards bearing the "sealing talisman" instantly surrounded Gao Yi and his group!

At the same time, Jiang Qiao rushed forward in a flash, and his fist, wrapped in cyan runes, suddenly slammed out!

Jiang Qiao knew.

These evolved beings may appear normal, but they are all actually mentally ill.

They backed down simply because they felt they couldn't win.

But since the feud has already been formed, there's no need to wait until the next meeting to settle it!

In any case, no one is going to leave this venue tonight!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"..."

A tremendous sound resounded throughout the entire venue.

The whole scene was in complete chaos.

Everyone stared in shock at Jiang Qiao, who was dominating Gao Yi and his group in the arena!

seeing is believing!

Although there have been rumors that Jiang Qiao is extremely powerful and that even his critics have been suppressed.

But that was just hearsay.

Now I've witnessed firsthand the strength that Jiangqiao has demonstrated.

It shattered everyone's worldview!

Damn it!

That's incredibly brutal!

...

The third floor of the club.

The third floor of the club.

A woman with three mouths stood in front of the monitor screen, watching the farce unfold downstairs.

Behind him stood Zhu Yuandong and a woman wearing a lip ring.

If you look closely, the woman's lip ring is still moving.

It's a small snake!

"He couldn't possibly be a Taoist priest, could he?" Zhu Yuandong said, frowning.

"That so-called Celestial Master's abilities are fire magic and lightning magic. But this Jiang Qiao uses a strange keyboard and physical techniques."

"Completely unrelated."

The woman with the lip ring next to him smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Several individuals with all three abilities have been discovered overseas."

"Four abilities are not necessarily impossible!"

Her voice was beautiful, like the song of a nightingale.

But upon closer inspection, you'll find that her mouth isn't open at all!

Zhu Yuandong looked somewhat shocked upon hearing the woman's words.

"Four...four kinds of abilities?"

"Yes, I suspect he has four abilities."

The woman looked at the monitor screen.

At this point, Jiang Qiao had completely overwhelmed Gao Yi, leaving him utterly helpless.

"Old Zhu, you've always been in charge of the company's business, so there are many things you're not familiar with."

"You can check the latest files later."

The North District Chief Steward, who had been standing at the front without speaking, suddenly said:

"Gao Yi is no match for him; we can't test his strength."

The snake woman said disdainfully, "Anyway, he was one of the beggar's men, so what if he's dead?"

"This guy's used to having it easy; does he really think he can be tested by a strong person so easily?"

"

⒏вOOK. сοм

Inside the venue.

A barrage of keyboards rained down on Gao Yi and his companions.

Every time Jiang Qiao threw a punch, the air vibrated!

The "Tongtianlu" and "Ancient Key Immortal" are not high-level, but when they are combined, they achieve a leap!

In particular, the talisman used was a "sealing talisman" that Jiang Qiao had improved!

Even Gao Yi, who was close to the peak of the third rank, still experienced intermittent interruptions in the flow of ghost energy within his body.

The ordinary evolved beings around Gao Yi fared even worse.

Faced with the densely packed keyboard, it was completely sealed off, unable to move.

Only Gao Yi remained in the arena, struggling desperately.

"ah--!"

A scream.

Gao Yi's head was hit by Jiang Qiao's punch, and a large piece of it was shattered!

Fresh blood gushed out.

but.

Because he was possessed by a vengeful spirit, he was only seriously injured and collapsed under such a deadly attack.

Not only that, he also tried to struggle to get up.

But then Jiang Qiao stepped on his chest.

"Come on, little bald guy, am I awesome or not?"

"And you guys, are there any righteous brothers who would like to step forward and let me get to know them?"

His arrogant words filled the room, but the entire venue remained silent.

Everyone stood frozen in place.

No one dared to step forward.

Yu Shasha, who was standing behind Jiang Qiao, was also shocked.

Jiang Qiao's strength was a huge shock to him.

One person can suppress a group of evolved beings, making them unable to lift their heads!

This scene stirred up a storm in her heart.

She planned to find an excuse to go out in a little while.

Report what happened today!

...

When Jiang Qiao was dominating the club.

Officials were also holding a meeting at this time.

An office was filled with the bigwigs of Haicheng.

Haicheng's top leader had a stern and murderous look on his face.

"The new humans have been identified as the Kb organization, and the primary task now is to take down their top leaders."

"Tell me about the arrangements."

No sooner had the number one brother finished speaking than...

A middle-aged man stood up and reported with a serious expression:

"All preparations have now been completed."

"It has been confirmed that Wu Difeng is at Tengfei Building."

"The beggar Fan Yang is at Bailong Building."

"Liu Jing, a chain smoker, is at the Zhihua Club."

"..."

"Given their danger, we are prepared to use heavy firepower directly."

"Furthermore, breaking news. The Celestial Master has suppressed Gao Yi, the deputy chief of the North District of the New Humans, at the White Horse Club."

"Currently, an Awakened squad has been deployed outside the club and is ready to attack at any time. Yu Shasha and Sun Xiang from the intelligence team can also become inside agents at any time."

The middle-aged man finished his concise report.

The top dog in Haicheng nodded, a murderous glint in his eyes.

"This time, the higher-ups have gone all out, sending half of the awakened individuals they just recruited from all over the country."

"Therefore, the mission absolutely cannot fail!"

"After this operation is over, could you help me arrange a meeting with that Taoist master? I'd like to speak with him in person."

...

Tengfei Building.

As a company whose main business is the internet, Tengfei Group is one of the few companies that allows employees to leave work on time.

I start work at 9:30 every morning.

I get off work at 5 p.m.

Take a two-hour break at noon.

Not only is the work easy, but the salary is also the highest in the industry!

Many employees feel like they're not there to work, but to retire.

All the employees who left after 7 p.m. were there to get a free dinner.

8boOk.COM

Those who left after 9 o'clock went to work out in the gym on the eighth floor of the company building.

In short, leaving get off work late has nothing to do with working overtime.

but.

As paranormal events become more frequent, many urban legends have become everyday occurrences, and fewer people are willing to stay out at night.

Most employees chose to go home immediately after get off work.

They would close the doors and windows, draw the curtains, and turn on all the lights before dark.

Then, holding their phones, they searched for the latest paranormal information on WeChat Moments, online forums, and social media platforms.

certainly.

A tall tree will inevitably have withered branches, and a large group of people will surely have some idiots!

Even in this tense atmosphere, there are still some self-proclaimed brave individuals who scoff at paranormal events.

They didn't disbelieve, but rather dismissed it.

After all, so far, the casualty data of all paranormal events have been under control, and at least no large-scale casualty incidents have occurred in Haicheng.

Du Fan, who recently joined the group, is one of them.

He was in his thirties and had just switched jobs from another internet company.

Having previously worked long hours and considered the company his home, he found it difficult to adapt to the rapid pace of the company's growth.

So I voluntarily stay at the company for an extra two or three hours every night.

Du Fan was in a bad mood today because he overheard some colleagues talking about how the company building was haunted.

This made him very unhappy.

"Where do so many ghosts come from? In all my life, apart from the internet, I've never seen what a ghost looks like."

"Spreading misinformation and exaggerating the facts."

Du Fan did not doubt the existence of paranormal events, after all, the authorities had already endorsed them.

However, he remained skeptical of the overwhelming rumors circulating online.

They believe most of them are just trying to ride the wave or are simply being suspicious.

"Never mind, let's go eat first."

After tidying up the documents in his hand, he opened the office door and prepared to go to the restaurant for dinner.

The corridor was quiet.

Except for a very few colleagues, most people have already gone home after get off work.

He swiped his card and entered the elevator with practiced ease, preparing to go to the thirteenth floor.

"Beep beep beep"

Just as the elevator doors were closing, Du Fan received a message on his phone.

"Old Du, why can't I get through to you on the phone? Are you still at Tengfei? Get out of there right now, it's haunted!"

"What the hell? This is ridiculous. Why are you acting so strangely? I'm at the company right now, and I haven't seen a ghost." Du Fan replied to his friend.

I checked the time; my friend sent the message at 5:30 PM.

It's already seven o'clock.

Soon, another message came from my friend.

"What the hell? You're still at the company? Are you kidding me! The Tengfei Building is completely dark, the power's out. There's police tape cordoning off the area. This is no joke!"

"baffling."

Du Fan glanced at the bright elevator lights and found it somewhat amusing.

Too lazy to reply to messages anymore.

"Ding-dong!"

Just then, we arrived at the thirteenth floor.

Du Yong subconsciously took a step to get out of the elevator.

However, he soon stopped in his tracks.

Because it was pitch black outside the elevator.

What's going on?

Du Fan stared blankly outside, somewhat dazed.

Suddenly, he remembered that his friend had texted him saying that the Tengfei Building was experiencing a power outage.

My heart skipped a beat.

He picked up his phone to call a friend.

But then I found that my phone had no signal.

Not only that, all the messages from my friends that I just saw have disappeared.

The messages he sent himself also showed "failed to send"!

"What...what's going on?"

A sense of dread washed over him.

And just then...

A sinister, aged voice came from the elevator behind me.

"Young man, are you going out or not?"

Upon hearing the question, Du Fan turned his head 180 degrees and said apologetically to the old man behind him:

"Feel sorry."

It has been confirmed that everyone inside the building has disappeared."

A long cordon was set up outside the Tengfei Building.

More than fifty specially modified vehicles were parked on the roadside, and rows of heavily armed combat personnel vigilantly looked around.

Near the building, Ma Jun, who was in charge of special affairs, listened to his subordinates' report with a solemn expression.

They took action immediately after the meeting.

However, when the special operations team entered the building, they discovered that all the employees of Tengfei Group had disappeared.

The entire building was empty.

The computer was on, the files were open, and there was even a freshly brewed, steaming cup of coffee.

But there was no one there!

Everyone seemed to have vanished into thin air.

At 5:30, the building's power system suddenly went out for unknown reasons.

This was not done by the authorities.

"Let's double-check whether the surrounding residents have been evacuated."

"Prepare the explosives."

Ma Jun looked at the building in front of him.

Since we can't find a direction, let's use the simplest and most direct method!

...

White Horse Club.

"Clap clap clap..."

Jiang Qiao then knocked Gao Yi and his men unconscious.

A woman wearing a mask walked out clapping her hands, followed by Zhu Yuandong and a woman wearing a lip ring.

"As expected of the Celestial Master, Gao Yi is utterly powerless against you."

"Even among the Newtypes, your strength ranks among the top five!"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Rou, and I am the head of the North District of the New Humans."

"Welcome, Celestial Master, to the White Horse Club."

hiss--!

Celestial Master?

This title came out.

The once quiet venue suddenly erupted into an uproar.

No one present, whether evolved or awakened, expected that attending a gathering today would lead to so much trouble.

Especially the evolved beings, at this moment, looked at Jiang Qiao with a mixture of fear and hatred.

The Haicheng Research Institute is not only studying how to turn ordinary people into evolvers.

They are also researching how to improve the physical condition of evolved individuals.

Because the evolved beings' abilities originate from vengeful spirits, and vengeful spirits are more likely to influence a person's mental consciousness than the supernatural.

Once the power is used beyond a certain limit, the consciousness is completely corrupted by the vengeful spirit.

So whether it's a person, a ghost, or even yourself, will all be left in question.

Jiang Qiao killing Gao Yi was no big deal to them.

But destroying the research institute would make us enemies!

"You guys are pretty amazing; you confirmed my identity in just one day."

Jiang Qiao said with a smile, without denying it.

Given the current situation, there's no need to deny it.

Qin Rou was not surprised by Jiang Qiao's reaction. She said softly:

"Our president just called and would like to invite the Celestial Master to the Tengfei Building for a discussion."

Although it was an invitation, Qin Rou took a few steps forward, and Jiang Qiao immediately sensed a strange aura emanating from her.

"Please come with us to the Tengfei Building, Master."

The woman with the lip ring suddenly made a move.

Instantly, strange auras rose from the Evolvers and Awakeners in the venue, and they looked at Jiang Qiao with murderous intent.

"Oh ho, are you planning to force me to come?"

Jiang Qiao chuckled softly.

Even when surrounded by a hundred people with special abilities, he remained calm and composed.

This scene caused Yu Shasha's beautiful eyes to ripple with emotion.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time tonight."

Jiang Qiao glanced at the screen in front of him.

He gave a simulation when he arrived at the venue.

Because some interesting talents were used, the cooldown time is only two hours.

It's almost over now.

"In that case, I'll have to offend you."

In an instant, all the "new humans" seemed to receive some kind of command, and amidst the chaos, they quickly formed combat teams!

Jiang Qiao was somewhat surprised to see this.

This so-called North District Manager is quite capable.

A group of seemingly disorganized individuals were able to quickly assemble and form a coordinated team!

That's impressive.

8воК.cОм

"It seems that no important figures from the new humans will be coming."

Jiang Qiao looked around with some regret.

As Qin Rou looked puzzled, she instantly activated the "Blood Sacrifice" formation!

A wisp of pale red mist rose up!

Instantly, everyone in the room felt a terrifying burning sensation, as if they had been immersed in a pool of sulfuric acid.

Screams echoed throughout the room.

The entire venue turned into a living hell!

"This is... a sacrifice!"

Qin Rou's expression changed.

Although Jiang Qiao has completely altered this formation, some core elements remain unchanged.

Therefore, Qin Rou, who knew many secrets, immediately recognized him!

Jiang Qiao didn't answer; instead, his body crackled with electricity as he charged towards Qin Rou and the other two!

"Didn't you say I was a Taoist master?"

"Then I'll show you the Celestial Master's skills!"

"Boom!"

A terrifying flash of lightning erupted!

With the added benefits of "critical hit" and "armor penetration", the fourth-tier "Lightning Thunder Fist" has reached an unbelievable level of power!

Zhu Yuandong, who was blocking the way, was blasted into a charred corpse by a single punch!

Without even a reaction, he perished on the spot.

The woman with the lip ring next to Zhu Yuandong's face changed drastically, and the small snake on her lips suddenly flashed with a white light.

Suddenly.

Jiang Qiao found himself back five seconds earlier.

"Time reset?"

He looked at the woman with the lip ring with some surprise.

The woman with the lip ring was also staring at Jiang Qiao in shock!

"He possesses...more than four abilities..."

She grabbed Qin Rou's hand and tried to leave.

"Run! This person is terrifying!"

"I saw seven or eight abilities in him!"

However, it was too late.

Jiang Qiao stealthily disappeared from everyone's sight.

The next moment, he appeared beside Qin Rou.

He remembered that this woman with three mouths had killed him during the simulation!

Qin Rou opened her three mouths at the same time, and three forked scarlet tongues came out, wrapping around Jiang Qiao.

At the same time, she flashed away from where she stood.

Jiang Qiao's punch missed, and his body was bound by tongue.

"snort!"

With a cold laugh, a surge of vibrant green flames instantly engulfed his entire body!

The tongue made a sizzling sound, then turned into charred charcoal and fell to the ground.

Qin Rou let out a soft groan, clearly indicating that she had suffered some injuries.

Jiang Qiao stealthily disappeared from everyone's sight once again, causing many people's attacks to miss.

At this moment, the great formation had completely submerged the venue.

A continuous flow of vital energy and ghostly energy flowed into Jiang Qiao's body, helping him to continuously improve his strength.

He then appeared and disappeared without warning, killing everyone who tried to escape.

Qin Rou and the woman with the lip ring were the main targets of their care!

Qin Rou, who was fierce in the simulation, was powerless against Jiang Qiao in reality!

If the woman with the lip ring hadn't used her time-reset ability several times, she would have perished long ago.

But it's not easy for women with lip rings either.

At this point, the body had become extremely weak.

It's like he has a serious illness.

Her strength has only just entered the third level.

Facing the river bridge, not only is the reset time too short, but the load is also too heavy.

She was already finding it difficult to continue.

Jiang Qiao, however, grew stronger with each battle, constantly launching sneak attacks on the group.

People were dying one after another within the great formation.

Jiangqiao's strength began to increase rapidly!

Not only that.

Standing in the corner, Yu Shasha was holding a clay pot, inside which was a seed that was sprouting rapidly.

Vermilion Fruit!

One of the main purposes of this trip.

It has almost completed half of its growth!

I underestimated you.

Qin Rou lay in a pool of blood, her life already on the countdown.

"I originally thought that even if you have four abilities, with hundreds of people forming an array and Little Red's ouroboros, killing you would be no problem at all."

She glanced at the small snake coiled in Jiang Qiao's hand and the woman with the torn lip ring, and a look of despair appeared on her face.

"I never imagined you had eight abilities!"

"You're a monster like you, nowhere else on the entire planet Earth."

Jiang Qiao listened silently without replying.

He can't exactly tell Qin Rou that you only told half of it, can he?

In fact, he was unable to answer at this moment, because a large stream of consciousness was constantly washing over his mind.

He had to do his best to suppress the confusion and dizziness in his heart.

As his consciousness was being swept away, his strength was also rapidly increasing.

"Critical Strike" has been upgraded to Tier 4!

The critical hit chance reaches 60%!

"Breakthrough" has been upgraded to the fourth level!

The armor penetration rate reaches 80%!

"Strange Tales Chef" has been upgraded to the fourth tier!

"Stalker" has been upgraded to Tier 4!

Frankenstein's monster has been upgraded to the fourth tier!

...

In addition to the previous three talents: "Lightning Fist", "Unrivaled", and "White Bone Fire".

Jiang Qiao already has eight talents that have reached the fourth level!

This strength is enough to rival a fifth-tier expert!

All other talents, except for "Double Pupils" and "Wish", have also been upgraded to the third tier!

What a great find!

However, Jiang Qiao also discovered that this formation could only help him reach the fourth level, which was already its limit.

Going any further is virtually impossible.

Because going from fourth to fifth order requires not only quantity, but also quality!

There were nearly a thousand people present, the vast majority of whom were at the first or second tier of strength.

It cannot support a fifth-order advancement!

Even the peak of the fourth tier is not enough.

"But it's okay!"

"I still have Dragon Transformation Mountain to grind experience points!"

His strength has reached the fourth level, which means he can now safely travel to Hualong Mountain.

Moreover, his fourth-tier status is comparable to that of a fifth-tier opponent!

Besides the improvement in his strength, Jiang Qiao's biggest gain was obtaining the ouroboros from the woman with the lip ring.

This snake can reset time in the vicinity!

This is absolutely outrageous.

Jiang Qiao stroked the icy-cold snake in his hand, eager to study it carefully.

He had no time to listen to Qin Rou's rambling on the ground.

After the dizziness subsided slightly.

He went straight over and stomped on her head until it was smashed.

...

Corner of the hall.

A skeleton lay quietly.

Beside it was a small earthenware pot containing a brightly blooming flower, and at the heart of the flower, a luscious fruit shimmered with light.

This is a vermilion fruit!

As long as you eat it, you can evolve "double pupils" to the third stage!

Jiang Qiao didn't hesitate, picked it up and threw it into his mouth.

The next moment, a hot sensation rose from my stomach and surged into my eyes.

His "double pupils" are beginning to break through!

It just takes a while, maybe ten days or twenty days.

But it's okay, he can wait!

Moreover, there is a Corpse Fragrance Flower waiting for him on Hualong Mountain.

During the last simulation, he discovered through research that the two things did not necessarily need to be eaten together.

You can achieve the same effect by taking them separately!

In the end, Jiang Qiao cleared away the traces of the large array in this area.

He possesses the secret of the blood sacrifice formation, which is not suitable for disclosure at the moment.

⑧ьOOk. сOm

...

Jiang Qiao activated stealth and left the club.

He ignored the official Awakened Ones who rushed in.

At this point, the simulator's cooldown period has ended.

Looking at the time, this is probably the last one before the supernatural resurgence.

He started the simulation as he headed towards the Tengfei Building.

[The eerie simulation begins]

[Currently available talents for fusion: "Social Ability", "Dual Guns", "Steel Wrapped in Intestine", "Life Substitution Technique"...]

[Social Superpower Syndrome (SS): You are a natural social butterfly. You are not timid, not shy, not afraid of others' opinions, and not afraid of being ridiculed, because everyone who laughs at you is now in the crematorium.]

[Dual Pistols (SS): Facing the vengeful ghost, you assume a dual-pistol stance and smile confidently: Dual pistols will tell you the answer!]

[SSR (Large Intestine Wrapped in Small Intestine): Large intestine wrapped in small intestine, life is unpredictable. After meeting you, even ghosts feel like they've become unlucky ghosts.]

[Substitute Life Technique (SSR): You can create a strange doll from a vengeful ghost to take your place. This isn't a simple transfer of damage; it's a life for a life!]

However, the vengeful spirit used as a substitute cannot be at least one rank lower than the user's own. For example, at least a rank four vengeful spirit is needed to create the substitute puppet.

? ? ?

Holy crap!

Two SS and two SSR?

Is the system going crazy?

Is it because this is the last simulation before the recovery that they're giving us a big gift?

I can't possibly accept this...

Jiang Qiao decisively chose the "life-substitute technique"!

That large intestine wrapped in small intestine always reminded him of braised pork intestines.

That's so lame!

[Talent selection complete—]

[Fourth-tier fixed talents: "Lightning Fist" (S), "Super Armor" (A), "Bone Fire" (S), "Critical Hit" (SS), "Armor Penetration" (SS), "Strange Chef" (S), "Stalker" (S), "Frankenstein's Monster" (SSR)]

[slightly...]

...

[Talent selection complete—]

[Simulation begins——]

Day One. The supernatural resurges, terror descends. You use "Possession" to merge several vengeful spirits into your body, and make a wish, exchanging the spirits for a six on the dice of fate!

You roll the dice and get a six!

Your luck has been blessed; you've found a severely injured Tier 3 vengeful ghost outdoors.

You turned it into a substitute for death.

You feel a blood-related bond with the doll.

On the way back, you repeat the process again.

The dice have turned into a six again!

You used "possession" to fuse with the "Ouroboros" from Xiao Hong.

The immense mental shock nearly caused your consciousness to collapse.

In your chaotic and frantic, aimless running, you entered the North District.

You've encountered a rule-based ghost story.

It can erase a person's consciousness.

You triggered it unintentionally, but it was "Ouroboros" whose consciousness was erased.

You have successfully gained the ability to "restart time".

However, the effect lasts for a maximum of fifteen seconds, with an impact radius of three meters.

Good heavens!

I was like, wow!

Is this some kind of crazy tactic?

Using "possession" to merge with vengeful spirits as the price for "making a wish".

Then use "Make a Wish" to trigger the maximum luck value of "Fate Dice"!

Damn it.

It's about getting a big win with a small investment!

This whole setup resulted in the ability to "reset time".

Awesome!

The next day, you took the initiative to contact the authorities and discussed your trip to the capital.

They give you a warm welcome.

Although the official forces suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Haicheng, they successfully crippled the "New Humans" with your intelligence assistance, which greatly increased the official's goodwill towards you.

You bluntly stated that you wanted to use the official wooden door to enter the supernatural world.

The officials were surprised, but still agreed to your request.

They stated that even official expeditions had only explored the area once, and everyone who went in disappeared.

Day 3. You prepare to travel to Ancheng to find Yang Lulu.

Along the way, with repeated strokes of luck, you found several third-tier vengeful ghosts.

You successfully turned them into "scapegoats".

You currently have six puppets!

To celebrate, you catch a female ghost at night and give her plastic surgery.

Judging from your performance, the surgery was very successful.

...

"Holy crap!"

"Can you please stop being Ning Caichen?"

For the first time, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but complain about this behavior.

Peat.

In the past, we had to become sworn brothers in order to improve our strength.

Now that we're so powerful, why are we still resorting to these old tricks?

Is this kind of thing addictive?

This is absolutely fucking awful!

Day 4. You encounter a group of strange paper figures.

These paper figures, each holding a portrait of a deceased person, lined up in two rows and paraded along the highway.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they'd all lost family members.

But if you consider that the paper figures are all orphans, their behavior must be quite remarkable.

So you unleashed a meteor shower on them from hundreds of meters away!

Amidst the ashes scattered on the ground, you find a portrait that has not been destroyed.

This is a family photo, showing three generations of people, but none of them have eyes.

[...]

On the seventh day, you arrived in Ancheng.

The Ancheng administrator, who had already received the news, led the entire management team out of the city to welcome you.

Your strength has shaken the entire Xia Kingdom.

They believe you are an extremely rare individual, even globally!

[Day 8. The official team has successfully located Yang Lulu for you.]

Because of your early warning, her family successfully escaped a disaster.

She herself lived a very good life in Ancheng because of her status as an Awakened.

Yang Lulu both admires and is grateful to you.

When you asked her for a favor, she agreed without hesitation.

Upon learning of Yang Lulu's relationship with you, the authorities immediately placed her under close monitoring and protection.

[...]

Day 12. You successfully arrived at Hualong Mountain with Yang Lulu.

You found a mass grave, picked the "corpse fragrance flower" from a coffin, and swallowed it without hesitation.

You've noticed that the breakthrough speed for "double pupils" has increased!

It's estimated that we can officially enter the third stage in three days!

[Day Thirteen. A massive swarm of mutated insects attacks, but you remain completely calm.]

You turned most of the insects to ashes.

They kept some of the better-looking ones, such as centipedes and scorpions, and made them into an insect feast to reward Yang Lulu.

With a tearful expression, she achieved a sublimation of her strength!

Day Fourteen. Early morning. You took Yang Lulu into the deepest part of Hualong Mountain.

You carefully observe the surrounding plants, but you cannot find any dead trees.

You are puzzled by this.

It's suspected that the light may not have appeared yet.

Day 15. You wander around Hualong Mountain but find nothing.

That night, your "double pupils" successfully broke through to the third stage!

You have opened up your own ghost realm.

It has three attributes!

Besides "corrosion" and "stagnation".

You discover that "time reset" has also been incorporated into the "double pupil" ghost realm.

Your sphere of influence has increased dramatically!

[Day sixteen. You still have gained nothing; you haven't found even a trace of that light.]

Day 17. Early morning. As you once again ventured deep into Hualong Mountain, a seven-colored glow suddenly appeared in the distance.

It is so dazzling and beautiful.

As it rises, a surging, ghostly aura enters your body through the principle of "everyone who sees it gets a share."

But you were also seen by those eyes within the seven-colored light.

You're going too deep.

There was simply no time to dodge.

One of your "scapegoats" was instantly shattered.

You turn and run away.

Another "substitute doll" was destroyed.

I hadn't run more than a few steps.

Your third "scapegoat" has also been shattered to pieces.

The fourth one.

The fifth one.

When you are preparing to face your sixth death.

Suddenly, it disappeared from the spot.

You reached the maximum distance Yang Lulu could pull people from, and she quickly moved you away.

You lost five lives, but you survived.

You think it's absolutely worth it!

Because you're so close to the central area, the ghostly energy you've absorbed is as vast and immense as an ocean!

Your "Lightning Thunder Fist" has reached the sixth level!

Your "Overlord Body" has reached the sixth level!

Your "Critical Strike" has reached level six!

Your "Breakthrough" has reached level six!

All other talents, except for "Double Pupils" and "Wish," have reached level five!

Holy crap!

"Is it that exciting?"

Jiang Qiao stared in shock at the information on the screen.

In the past, when he went to Hualong Mountain, he always hovered around the critical point affected by the radiant light, so he could only break through to the sixth level with the "Lightning Thunder Fist".

This time, four different talents actually reached the sixth rank!

Is this what they mean by high risk, high reward?

After all, this power boost cost me five lives!

If Yang Lulu hadn't pulled him away at the crucial moment...

He's definitely going to die!

However, this simulation also taught him that the colorful glow of Hualong Mountain first appeared in the early morning of the seventeenth day.

In addition, eating "Corpse Fragrance Flower" and "Vermilion Fruit" separately can actually speed up the upgrade of "Double Pupils"!

This must be written down.

...

Day 18. You lead Yang Lulu back.

On the way, you encountered a group of mutated animals.

They have pigs, cows, and even big tigers.

You open the Ghost Realm and use the "Slow" effect to immobilize them.

Then, wielding the "evil spirit cleaver," he removed some of their parts.

In the evening, you cooked a table full of delicious dishes, which helped Yang Lulu improve her cooking skills once again.

At this moment, she successfully broke through to the second level by relying on just two meals!

Her maximum pulling distance has increased to 400 meters!

Moreover, it can not only pull people, but also pull vengeful ghosts to any location within 400 meters!

You had her try it.

They successfully threw a vengeful ghost into the river.

[...]

[Day 21. You and Yang Lulu returned to Ancheng.]

As your strength breaks through to the sixth rank.

The "substitute doll" created using a third-tier vengeful ghost has lost its function.

You used Frankenstein's abilities to modify the doll, making it barely usable by others.

However, the effect decreased significantly.

Instead of replacing life, it can only transfer damage.

The difference between the two is that...

To replace life is to replace death with life.

However, if the damage transfer exceeds the doll's tolerance limit, the doll itself will still be injured.

You gave it to Yang Lulu as a thank you.
