“There are all sorts of people there, so nothing strange is surprising.”

"I don't understand why the Dark Gate would interfere with the three major families of Jincheng."

"I don't understand what the real purpose behind it is."

"We were just an ordinary little squad in their organization."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised.

It's important to know that the strength of the Demon Armor is not to be underestimated; he is definitely a top-tier expert.

Even Jiang Chen dared not underestimate him.

But now the other party told him that he was just an ordinary squad leader in the organization.

This really surprised Jiang Chen.

How many secrets does this world still hold that we don't know about?

However, Jiang Chen could also glean some clues from the other party's words.

The Dark Portal originates from the Dead Lands, which are difficult to find, or rather, it is just a general term.

The desolate lands are likely scattered throughout the world, originating from every corner.

They possess advanced technology and weaponry, and have remained undetected by any country to this day.

Or rather, even if a country notices it, it won't make it public.

In short, its level of secrecy is extremely high.

This time, the Dark Gate seems to be targeting not only the three major families, but also the entire Jin City, intending to use a small city in the Dragon Kingdom as a testing ground.

That's all Jiang Chen can think of for now; this is just a preliminary speculation.

The Dark Gate possesses technology and power in various aspects, so why would they target Jincheng?

Why interfere in the affairs between the three major families? These are all unsolved mysteries.

"Yes, this information is very valuable, and everything is within my expectations."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"In that case, let's continue with the Land of the Dead."

"I'm very curious about how it's actually made up."

Jiang Chen nodded and continued to ask curiously.

But the demon armor didn't rush to answer; instead, it looked intently at Jiang Chen.

"This information is extremely valuable; I want 20 million if you don't agree."

"I will not reveal any information about the Dead Lands."

"Now I have answered your first question and shown my sincerity."

"So, where is your sincerity?"

Jiang Chen nodded, thinking to himself that the other party was indeed cautious.

"There is a gate on the far left under your feet."

"Take a look for yourselves."

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Mo Kai did not make any move, but instead gave a wink to his subordinates.

The subordinate immediately understood and went to the place Jiang Chen had indicated.

This place looks ordinary; it's just a regular floor.

The subordinate tapped lightly and found that it was hollow underneath.

He quickly pulled open the floorboards, and the scene before him made him gasp for breath.

The neatly arranged banknotes are piled up here; upon closer inspection, there are at least twenty million.

This is no small amount; the three of them alone could barely take this much money with them.

"This is only a part; we'll see what happens after our information transaction is completed."

"I will transfer the remaining money to you regularly, so you don't need to worry about that."

"Since I have a way to contact you."

"Of course you won't be shortchanged, and you don't need to worry about me breaking my promise."

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, they fell silent.

However, at this moment, they had no other choice, since the other party had already shown some sincerity.

This money is enough for them for now.

Mo Kai was always a straightforward person. He nodded and ordered his men to move the money.

Afterwards, he continued to talk to Jiang Chen about the Desolate Land.

"The land of death is not a specific place."

"It's because it's more like a belief; many people have the concept of a desolate place in their hearts."

"Most of these people have been brainwashed."

"Moreover, such people exist in any place and in any country, regardless of region."

“They all know the faith of the land of death.”

"Therefore, it can be said that the Land of the Dead actually encompasses our entire planet."

Jiang Chen was completely confused and didn't understand what this guy was talking about, but he did get a general idea of ​​what he was getting at.

That is, the Dead Land is not located in a specific region as one might imagine, but rather is a belief.

To put it bluntly, those who believe in the Land of the Dead are religious believers; they have all been brainwashed, so they have no doubt about it.

Of course, this also includes the demon in armor before us; he is also a follower of the Dead Lands.

Does this so-called faith actually contain any concrete information or concepts?

Jiang Chen asked the question that concerned him most.

"Of course. They've been promoting a theory about the Dead Lands."

"That is the theory of the Kingdom of Heaven."

They believe that everyone is born guilty.

"If you want to atone for your sins, you must believe in this theory from the moment you are born."

"You must keep atoning for your sins so that you can go to heaven and the Pure Land after you die."

"Moreover, every believer at the time of their death."

“The bishops will purify their souls.”

After hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded, feeling that it didn't seem like a big deal.

After all, many organizations and beliefs abroad believe that humans are born with sin and suffering, and Jiang Chen had heard about this before.

It doesn't seem like there's anything special about it.

Most importantly, since the Demon Armor has already revealed these things...

This actually confirms a saying.

That is, the Demon Armor clearly understands what this so-called faith is, and whether it is useful.

"Whether you believe in this kind of thing or not is entirely up to the individual."

"Because the land of the dead cannot be convinced by a single theory."

"But they have factual basis, that is, so-called evidence."

"That's why I'm being so honest with you."

"It's because the desolate land itself isn't mandatory."

"Whether you believe it or not, it's there."

"Only those mysterious organizations would put these theories into practice."

"And I firmly believe it."

Seemingly noticing Jiang Chen's confusion, the demonic armor continued to explain.

This time, Jiang Chen truly understood; it was no longer as obscure and difficult to comprehend as before.

Most believers accept these theories.

It's not just because of brainwashing, but because of these organizations and forces.

They seem to have ample evidence to prove it.

Everyone is born sinful.

Therefore, within the area they control.

They strictly control people's thoughts and force them to believe in these doctrines.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and shook his head.

I never imagined that such bizarre things existed in the world, but thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

If the Land of the Dead truly existed, Jiang Chen couldn't possibly be unaware of it. After all, he was a long-time user of the dark web.

There is almost no information in this world that he doesn't know.

"This is the basic situation as far as I know."

"In our organization, I'm actually just a squad leader."

"We haven't had much access to anything, and most importantly, not even now."

"I don't even know the name of our organization."

The demon armor seemed somewhat helpless, but that was indeed the case.

Their organization is very secretive, which shows how powerful they are.

Each person who contacts them will not reveal their true identity.

Sometimes, the other party will subtly convey information to them using only a string of code.

Without them noticing.

This organization doesn't seem to want anyone to know the purpose of their existence.

Or perhaps they are very well hidden and don't want to attract anyone's attention.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: they are plotting something.

This is a major plan.

And now, they are about to implement this plan.

"I don't care who they are, as long as they dare to invade the Dragon Kingdom."

"I will make sure they never return."

"Since they have already implemented their plan in the Dragon Kingdom."

"Then they must have made full preparations."

What good is a powerful organization? It's just that its military strength is greater.

Furthermore, strong technological capabilities are also crucial, and Jiang Chen happens to possess both.

No matter how fantastical the magic armor made things sound, in Jiang Chen's eyes, it was nothing more than that.

"Actually, there's something I went through a lot of trouble to get my hands on."

"This matter is probably related to the secrets of the entire Dead Land."

Suddenly, the demon armor pondered for a moment, then looked at Jiang Chen with a solemn expression.

He was undecided for a moment whether or not he should say it.

"With me here, what are you afraid of? Just tell me, and I guarantee you won't be in any danger."

"After saying that, he took the money and flew away."

Jiang Chen's words reassured the other party.

The demonic armor nodded and said:
"It seems that there exists a strange creature in our world."

“They are not living beings, yet they control the entire desolate land.”

"It also commands a large number of people from all over the world."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately frowned.

This is indeed important intelligence.

He quickly pressed for an answer: "What exactly is this monster?"

"Its name is Queen Lilith!"

"He's the leader of the entire Dead Land!"

"This monster doesn't look human; it's completely different from us."

"But I don't know exactly what it looks like."

Demon Armor sighed softly and shook his head.

It was only after going through countless hardships that he was able to find out the other person's name.

To think I could see him in person is simply a pipe dream.

In an instant, Jiang Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and his gaze toward the demonic armor instantly became wary.

This sudden change left Mo Kai somewhat bewildered. He glanced at Jiang Chen with a puzzled look: "What's wrong? Do I have words on my face?"

"boom!"

Before anyone could react, Jiang Chen's face was splattered with blood. At that moment, he didn't even understand what had happened; he only heard a dull thud.

The blood contained traces of brain matter, making it look particularly disgusting.

But Jiang Chen had no time to pay attention to any of that.

That's right, Demon Armor is dead. Just as he uttered those last words, his head suddenly exploded. Even if Jiang Chen reacted in time, he wouldn't be able to defend himself.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

The two henchmen had just carried the money out of the basement when they were horrified to see a headless corpse lying in front of Jiang Chen, whose face was covered in blood and looked gruesome.

"You...you broke your promise and actually killed our captain!"

The two were completely stunned. They really shouldn't have trusted Jiang Chen; this guy was definitely up to no good.

“I didn’t kill him. He must have had a bomb in his brain.”

"Moreover, this bomb will detonate if certain sensitive words are heard."

"Although I don't know the specifics of what happened."

"But I advise you not to say anything now. I've already got all the information I wanted to know."

"Take this money and get out of here quickly."

Jiang Chen was too lazy to explain further and said in a flat tone.

"It's Queen Lilith! It's Queen Lilith's curse! We've offended her!"

"We can't escape, we're all going to die!"

The threat of death completely threw the two henchmen into a panic, making it impossible for them to remain calm. One of them, upon thinking of something terrible, instantly broke down.

Just as Jiang Chen had predicted, this was a bomb triggered by language.

The moment the man finished saying "Queen Lilith," his head turned green instantly, and then exploded again just two seconds later.

"Ah! I don't want to die! Someone save me! I don't want to die!"

The other subordinate was immediately stunned and stood there at a loss, muttering to himself. He was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and bowels, clearly terrified.

Jiang Chen was too lazy to bother with him anymore.

"As I said, this is a time bomb triggered by language."

"If you don't want to die, shut up and don't say anything. Take the money and leave now."

Jiang Chen said calmly, then wiped the blood from his face, slowly returned to his car, and began to ponder the strange events that had just occurred.

As the magic armor just mentioned, Lilith is not human, but a monster with strange powers. The fact that someone exploded and died after uttering her name seems to confirm this; she does indeed possess some kind of power.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"It's just a charade, nothing more than a verbal bomb."

"If I really wanted to, I could build something even more advanced than this."

"There can't possibly be any monsters in this world. It seems that this desolate place is indeed hiding a lot of secrets."

"You've even learned to play tricks now. Just wait, I'll expose the mastermind behind this sooner or later."

What had just happened seemed terrifying, but Jiang Chen had weathered countless storms and witnessed too many life-or-death situations, so he was no longer bothered by it. He guessed that these people had probably undergone some kind of ritual when they joined the organization, and it was at that time that these bombs were implanted in their brains.

Jiang Chen simply didn't have the energy to worry about so many people.

Moreover, he was truly powerless to do anything about it.

After all, the deal is already finalized.

Let them bear the consequences of their own lives.

However, Jiang Chen still managed to glean some crucial information.

Although this information was very vague, he still had a general understanding of it.

That so-called desolate place is full of mystery.

But this mystery is not without clues.

Take Queen Ye Linglong for example.

From what the demon armor just said, you can tell she's a monster.

But even the Demon Armor didn't know exactly what kind of monster it was.

From this, Jiang Chen could tell that this was nothing more than a trick to deceive people.

There are no demons or monsters in this world; you've probably watched too many TV dramas. (End of Chapter)
