[You are dead, this journey is over, settlement in progress...]

[Number of times opened today: 1/3]

-

Wow!

Life fades away, and the evil spirits go away.

As the journey ended, Xu Shu returned to the present. The scenes in front of him shattered like a mirror, revealing Xiaoya's delicate and lovely little face, the deep entrance path below, and the ruins-like "ruins park" around it.

There was still surprise on his face.

I’ve been in Penglai District for so long, but this is the first time I’ve encountered a madman from the Abyss Cult in the wasteland.

Moreover, he had very bad luck when he encountered one, and was directly involved in the other party’s sacrificial ritual and died on the spot!

"Are the ruins in Penglai District so dangerous?"

"It seems like I can't just run around here anymore. I have to be careful!"

"By the way, what do the people of the Cult of Nurgle want to do by offering sacrifices here?"

"The wasteland in Penglai District is not like the lawless area in D8B3 District. Every town here has a garrison team affiliated with Baiyujing. They will definitely not be able to leave after the sacrifice. Even if they kill the garrison afterwards, it will be impossible to hide the news."

"Unless... unless the director behind Yuzufang was bribed by the evil cult and betrayed the human race? It's not impossible! It seems that there are a lot of bad apples among these directors!"

"But, after the evil god failed in his attack on the third-class security zone, he not only did not want to find a soft persimmon to squeeze, but became more radical and directly pointed his spearhead at the more difficult first-class security zone???"

"Are you crazy?"

Xu Shu's eyes widened, his thoughts racing.

Now that he saw the cultists performing sacrifices, he thought that they must be trying to invade the Star Tower. After all, he had personally experienced the invasion of the evil god that led to the fall of the Star Tower in Area D8B3, so he was a bit afraid of the ropes.

It stands to reason that, according to normal people's thinking, since it is so difficult to take over a third-class security zone, then the next step is definitely to turn your attention to other third-class security zones with weaker guards, right?

In fact, the Human Astronomical Society also considered this. It has recently deployed defenses in the third-class security zone and even added an extra demigod-level garrison to some particularly vulnerable areas to prevent accidents from happening again.

However, Xu Shu took into account that these bad guys were not normal people, so he had to consider the worst case scenario.

After all, he is a cultist. He only needs to make a slight move, and even if he tries his best, he won't be able to achieve his incredible thinking process.

"If it's really the Abyss Esoteric Cult invading and planning to attack Penglai District, I have to report this to Sister Yaoyao immediately!"

"Of course, before that, we need to find out what secrets this place hides."

"The other party has the means of sacrifice. I was killed in seconds without any resistance. Although I was killed because of the sacrifice, who knows who is hiding behind them this time? Maybe there are demigod-level secret followers here. We can't be careless."

"Haha, when it comes to risking one's life to gather intelligence, even the great masters on the Heavenly Ranking may not be as professional as me. Reliable!"

Thinking of this, Xu Shu placed the strange "honey" he had just obtained at the end of the prop column with a little disgust - although this thing looked clear and transparent, some strange descriptions made him couldn't help but recall some not-so-good memories.

At this time, Xiaoya saw that he suddenly became serious, and asked quietly beside him: "What did Brother Xu Shu say? Did you find any problems?"

"Whoo~"

Xu Shu exhaled lightly and said casually: "It's okay, let's do it!"

"Eh? Oh~ Don't underestimate the enemy!" Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xu Shu a few times, and reminded in a low voice.

"hehe."

Xu Shu sneered.

Just voodoo and a puppet, what is that?
It's just a weak chicken that can be defeated with a wave of the hand, everything is under our control!
He didn't say much, but calculated the time and entered the underground palace on time.

As Xu Shu went deeper, the fire tongs guards, the apocalypse killing array of the Red Emperor Army, the beautiful and tender Jones Paladin, and the "Quincy"'s plan to sacrifice their companions...

He perfectly followed the process he had experienced in the previous round of expeditions, allowing everything to happen again, and finally defeated Voodoo.

The whole process lasted less than half an hour before the battle was over. Not only was Xu Shu unharmed, he also seized two cursed tools from the five paladins.

"No... Impossible... How could you... escape the Extinction?"

Voodoo was left with only a head, his eyes flashing red, and he obviously couldn't accept all this. He asked in anger and shock.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shu sneered.

I have predicted all the ambushes you can set;
Since you can’t set up an ambush or launch a counterattack before your death, I still need to predict it in advance.

Be forewarned and take advantage!
This is the journey mode!
Should I tell you that this group of paladins has died at my hands for the third time?

My hands are numb from killing. But then again, that Jones is actually quite plump, with a great figure, and a completely different style from the opposite sex in the East Continent... It's a pity that she is an enemy.

As long as she was an enemy, no matter how charming she was, it was impossible for Xu Shu to have any thoughts of sympathy for her.

He has always been most obedient to the advice of his ancestors.

Cutting down the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows!
"You're a piece of trash. I have nothing to say to you. You don't deserve to listen. If you want to self-destruct, do it quickly instead of dragging your feet. However..." Xu Shu grabbed Voodoo's head and looked at him.

"But what?" Voodoo couldn't help but ask.

Xu Shu said: "But if you are brave enough, tell me your real location and we can fight in real life."

"..." Voodoo was stunned for a moment by Xu Shu's words.

His two mechanical eyelids drooped, and he did not answer, but secretly flashed red light and jumped.

"Oh, you cowardly rat." Xu Shu smiled contemptuously, and golden light burst out from his body, protecting every corner including his crotch.

Three-dimensional defense with no blind spots in all directions - Jingwei filling the sea!
There was a loud bang and the voodoo head bomb exploded in his palm.

Most of the impact was absorbed by Xu Shu's palms, but the aftermath was still too much for the underground palace to bear, and lime fell from the ceiling.

Seeing that he could not still protect this "cultural relic", Xu Shu spread his hands helplessly, turned around and took Xiaoya and Voodoo, the two virtual cores behind the scenes, and left the underground palace.

The moment he walked out of the underground palace, Xu Shu's body stiffened a little, and he heard layers of unreal prayers in his ears.

The prayers were either pleading or crying or cursing, but the specific content could not be heard clearly. Only the chill brought by the close proximity of the ghosts came over like a wave.

"Learning without thinking is death, and death without learning is danger!"

Xu Shu silently recited a local protective spell, immediately cutting off the gaze of these "evil spirits".

However, one could still faintly hear them sobbing and telling their stories.

Xu Shu sighed a little: "Oh, I didn't expect that the people here are also miserable. The whole town died in the monster attack. This is rare in Penglai District."

He did not feel too sad about the passing of time. There were too many tragedies in the world, happening anytime and anywhere, and one of them was about to happen right now.

The dead are gone, but those who have not been sent may have hope of being saved.

Xu Shu's eyes were determined, and he quickly left Prince Jing's mansion and entered the forest under the watchful eyes of the incomplete ghosts who surrounded him like a mosaic.

After a while, he found a secluded corner, turned on the upgrade drive, and contacted Xiaoya.

After the spoils were divided among the ten, Xu Shu promised to send the virtual number core to her after returning to the city.

After explaining these things, Xu Shu changed the subject and said, "But, maybe you need to do me a favor first."

Xiaoya was confused: "What help?"

"I don't have time to explain it to you now. I'll tell you later."

Xu Shu hung up the phone. Seeing that it was already half past eight, he once again concentrated all his willpower and poured it into the Taichu Scroll, stretching it open fiercely:

[Detecting the current status...][Detection completed.]

[Your situation is not good. You just executed a group of Saviors and learned that there are evil acts of esoteric sacrifice in the Zuyufang in the wasteland.]

【Today, right now! 】

[You are a good man who is eager to help others. You know that the enemies of the cult are extremely dangerous, but you still decide to go there.]

[Interesting, interesting! Have you forgotten how you died before? You are so righteous, Taichujuan can't help but compose a poem for you——

[I traveled a long way to the world to see a feast, and a pile of feces brought me great beauty. I rushed a thousand miles to deliver blood, and it was hard to retreat when the time came. Even if my intestines were pierced and my stomach was rotten, my heart was as hard as iron! ]

[There is no doubt that you are the real "savior" at this moment! ]

[You climbed over mountains and crossed ridges, and came to Zuyufang, a street full of foot bath shops, and carefully observed the luxurious hotel "Jinfeng Bath House" where an accident had occurred. ]

[Thinking back to the sticky juice and the stench that hit your nose, you can’t even look at the word “Golden Wind”.]

[Damn it, other people at most send pictures and animations in text, why can you send out taste directly in text! ]

[After a thorough inspection, you did not find anything unusual about this restaurant from the outside world.]

[You calculated the time and began to take stock: the last round of sacrifice officially started at around one o'clock, but you entered the hotel to consume at around twelve o'clock. You did not sense any abnormality during this process, so there is a high probability that the sacrificial ceremony and the arrangement of the altar were completed earlier; and the altar that can cover the entire restaurant must have been carved at least half a day in advance.]

[So - it's so early now, it's very likely that their magic circle is not yet complete! ]

[Very good, you seem to have thought of something, but also seem to have thought of nothing. You are indeed the master of amazing wisdom! ]

[As soon as you think of this, you stop hesitating and enter the hotel from the top of the building next door, crossing the gap of several dozen meters like a flying man.]

[After searching around, you have a fairly complete understanding of the suspected abnormalities in the hotel at the moment:——]

[The kitchen staff is working hard to prepare lunch ingredients. They actually kill the live pig themselves.

[The lobby manager is dancing with the waiter, claiming it is to improve their spirits;
[A female resident on the fourth floor yelled to call the police because her husband was missing; on the eighth floor, her husband was enjoying a mandarin duck bubble bath that cost 38888 yuan;
[There was an old man in a wheelchair on the 12th floor who was dying, but his assistant did not call a doctor, but instead called a pair of cute little girls;

[Other than that, everything seems normal, nothing special. You didn't find any followers of the Cult of Nurgle directly in the hotel.]

[It seems that the problem lies mostly among these people. They have traitors in the cult.]

[Oh, by the way, it’s worth mentioning that there was a blonde on the 16th floor who lazily got up. She crawled out of the bed, wearing a bikini. Her body was extremely hot, with all the right curves. The deep V-neck was big enough for a small goldfish, and her straight and smooth long legs were enough to squeeze you to death. It was really too hot…]

"Oh, Hong Yan?" Xu Shu was leaning on the window, his expression suddenly froze.

"Fuck, Xu Shu?" The blonde girl also widened her eyes in shock.

The yellow-haired girl in front of him was none other than Hong Yan, a gangster friend of Xu Shu, who had now become a second-level "assassin".

The two had just communicated not long ago. At that time, Hong Yan was quite enthusiastic. On the one hand, she scolded him for why his strength improved as fast as her sister on the human list, and on the other hand, she wanted to invite Xu Shu to have dinner together. She was truly an example of saying no but being honest with her body.

I never thought that we would meet again in such a vast wasteland just two or three days later.

Moreover, if I hadn't met her on the journey just now, she would either have died early or left early.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu looked at Hong Yan's proud curves and couldn't help but sighed: "The world is so big... Oh no, the world is so small."

"Yes, what a coincidence... Ahhhhh!" Hong Yan's face turned red with anger, and she hurriedly put on her tight jeans and leather jacket.

Little did he know that she was wearing a bikini-like pajama set, and Xu Shu didn't feel anything.

Beauty is nothing but a skeleton, just like the weeds on the roadside, which will wither away with the passage of time. I have just raped her three times and I feel nothing.

On the contrary, her hurried dressing action revealed her slim waist and curvy hips, which made her look more charming and arousing.

"Won't you invite me in and sit down?" His Adam's apple rolled involuntarily, and he looked away with a slightly dry mouth. He didn't look at Hong Yan in front of him, but went downstairs to the Seven Star Entertainment Club.

[It's quite interesting. You'd better just want to go in and sit there, not do it. ]

[Hong Yan accepted your request to enter, opened the window, and let you in from outside.]

[You just saw each other naked. It would be quite awkward between ordinary men and women, but you are fine.]

[On the one hand, because you both have open-minded personalities, on the other hand, you have a life-and-death friendship, and thirdly, it is not the first time that she has been caught by your frankness, so the conversation quickly became smooth.]

[“Why are you here? You’re in a very dangerous situation. Here…” You take the initiative to speak, explaining your purpose, and the atmosphere gradually becomes lively.]

[After some communication, you learned that after Genglouzi was killed by you, Hong Yan quickly learned the news and no longer had any burden. She immediately launched the back-up plan she had been planning for half a month and took over several towns under Genglouzi's name in one fell swoop and presented them to the family. Her contribution was not small.]

[Now that she has received rewards from the clan, her strength has greatly increased, and she is searching for and hunting down several wanted criminals here.]

[“You are chasing a wanted criminal, so why do you wear so little to sleep?” You are extremely surprised. ]

[“Don’t, don’t say that… People from the underworld don’t mind small matters!” Hong Yan blushed at what you said, and stammered in response.]

[After a while, she asked you: "You said there is a group of crazy people from the secret sect hiding here? Have you found them?"]

[You shook your head: "We are looking for them, but we haven't confirmed who they are. They want to sacrifice everyone in this building to the evil god. We have to find them as soon as possible, otherwise everyone will be in danger."]

[“Is there such a thing? I’ll help you!” Hong Yan immediately expressed his opinion and casually mentioned, “By the way, do you still remember what happened in Xinglongzhuang? Don’t worry about it next. Haha, you may not believe it, but the director behind them is even more revealing. He was killed by a mysterious person yesterday.”]

[“Oh… That’s really unexpected.” You sighed in a serious manner, without revealing that you were the murderer.]

[“Speaking of which, the man who killed Genglouzi has some connection with me.” Hong Yan was a chatterbox, unable to hold back.]

[“What happened? Tell me in detail.” You asked curiously. ]

[Hong Yan looked around and whispered to you: "I've told you this secret, so don't tell anyone."]

【“Of course!” You nodded. 】

[Hong Yan trusts you very much, and immediately said: "This man is called Yu Mingluan. My eldest brother died at his hands! However, I was just born at that time, and I don’t know the details. I only know that this man was eventually expelled from Penglai. I didn’t expect that he would dare to come back and join the notorious Extermination Society."]

[“What? There’s such a thing! I’m so curious, tell me in detail.” You widened your eyes in shock. Damn, great acting.]

[Hong Yan said slowly: "You are not from Penglai, so you may not know that although the Deactivation Society is known as the Death Cultivator Alliance, it is too radical and notorious. It has always been a handle for living cultivators to attack dead cultivators. I heard that my elder brother, whom I had never met before, was killed because of a similar thing and took a wrong path.

"But a family is a family after all. I came here today because I have some relationship with him. I accepted a bounty mission within the family and am tracking the whereabouts of several wanted criminals from the Resurrection Society. According to intelligence, this group of people from the Resurrection Society have just arrived in Penglai not long ago, and they are Yu Mingluan's men."

[“By the way, Yu Mingluan looks like this. If you meet him, you must be careful. Although you are a master on the Human Ranking, this man, codenamed ‘Tiger’ in the Extermination Society, is the executioner of this organization. He may not be weaker than you. Don’t underestimate him.”]

[You took the wanted poster that Hong Yan handed over, and it really showed the appearance of Yu Mingluan (the bearded version). Your pupils suddenly trembled, and you were even more shocked: "Fuck, there is such a thing!"]

[This shock is real, because you don’t even know when you joined the Extermination Society, and you even have subordinates in the Extermination Society, and you don’t even know that you have become the executioner of the Extermination Society, “Yin Hu”. ]

【“I am obviously the Conqueror King Yu Mingluan, how did I become the Extermination Society’s Yu Mingluan? Slander, this is pure slander! God have mercy on me, I just killed the Extermination Society’s ‘Chen Long’ a while ago, how could I be a member of the Extermination Society?!
[“The damn inactivation association has taken so much advantage of me, and they haven’t paid me a cent!” You are madly proving yourself in your heart, feeling extremely wronged, but you can’t say it out loud. ]

[You wanted to ask further about the past love-hate relationship, but Hong Yan said:
[“Okay, Brother Xu, you have to pay attention to the seriousness of the matter. Now is not the time for us to chat! We have to hurry up and evacuate the people in the hotel to prevent the cultists from harming innocent people!”]

[“???” You were speechless after being criticized by her, but you still felt like something was wrong. ]

[However, what Hong Yan said is indeed correct. You decided to ask her further about these inexplicably dirty waters later.]

【The most urgent task is to evacuate the masses/expose the cult. 】

[This is a difficult question of choosing between two options. Your choice is...]

[“Of course I choose all of them!” You smiled coldly and said to the yellow-haired man, “Sister Hong Yan, please go make some noise and evacuate the people! I’ll go find the whereabouts of these secret believers!”]

[Hong Yan nodded: "Okay, I will try to be careful, but this will inevitably alert the enemy, and the enemy may hide."]

[“It’s okay. You should be careful too.” You laughed and didn’t explain. After telling Hong Yan something, you watched him leave. You turned into a pool of flowing blood and continued patrolling along the wall.]

[You are confident and not afraid of the cultists escaping. Hong Yan is worried because she does not understand the esoteric religion at all.]

[And you know very well that these lunatics have been plotting for a long time and will never be willing to give up the mission easily.]

[You start searching based on your previous exploration, and your first target is the kitchen.]

[Would a normal hotel kill live pigs? This is obviously unreasonable. Do you suspect that there are secret believers hiding in those live pigs? ]
