The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 470: A Foreign Country (asking for monthly ticket)

At this time on the ground, everyone had already killed all the "two-headed babies" and "gray kids" monsters that came to die, and even the scene had been cleaned up.

Xie Xiaochan sat on a stone block, wiping the petroleum-like blood from the tip of the brush while constantly attacking Lu Bingwei next to her and chattering about something.

This made Lu Bingwei very annoyed, but she had no way to refuse. After all, even if Xie Xiaochan was harassing her, she was quite polite and called her "senior sister" in a very intimate manner.

As a well-known social terrorist on the Shengge network, Xie Xiaochan could somehow make some connections with everyone here even if she didn't know them, such as "the leader of the organization your senior sister's aunt belongs to visited Nuxu Palace last year. I met her once in the cafeteria, and she mentioned you many times."

In this team with quite complex composition, Xie Xiaochan has become the leader, and everyone even thinks that she talks more than "Haha Brother" Huoxing.

——Of course, this was mainly because the bad reputation of “Black Heart Rose” affected Yan Huoxing’s performance.

After hearing last night that another "Dragon Elephant" brother was unfortunately killed here, Yan Huoxing became much more taciturn. When he saw Xie Xiaochan, he subconsciously stayed away from her, as if he was avoiding the plague god.

At this time, seeing Xu Shu returning from the sewer, Xie Xiaochan's eyes fixed, and then she let go of Lu Bingwei. With the latter's almost "thank God" look, she moved closer to Xu Shu and whispered with concern: "Why did you take so long? Did you encounter any accidents?"

"No, they ran fast, and it took a while to catch them all." Xu Shu lied casually and tried to get away with it.

The bride was very concerned about me. She wanted to prevent me from being upset by letting her know that I had secretly bullied the cute little nurse... Although she might have already seen it...

Muttering this in his mind, Xu Shu took out the 25 crystals taken from the nurse and gave them to her for safekeeping. This would be distributed as public spoils later, although it was not much.

However, Xie Xiaochan frowned and suddenly caught a flaw: "That's not right. Just now I saw that it was you who took the initiative to drag them into the underground tunnel to duel, right?"

"Forehead……"

Why the hell are you paying attention to this?

Xu Shu frowned, thinking that he absolutely could not talk too much about this topic, otherwise there would be flaws.

Therefore, after a slight turn of his eyes, he chose not to answer Xie Xiaochan's question, but looked at Gu Pan not far away, pretending to be concerned and asked: "Jun Moxiao, why do you look exhausted? Did you secretly stay up late to masturbate last night?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked. Everyone looked at "Jun Moxiao" whose lips were white and eyes were black, with expressions of great confusion and shock.

What? An airplane? Strange, could it be that this guy just behaves in a special way and is more feminine, but is not actually a real woman, but... what is it? Nan Niang???
At this moment, except for Gu Yueming, the others, including Xie Xiaochan, who thought they had seen through her disguise, all began to have great doubts about their previous judgment.

"???"

Facing everyone's doubts, Gu Pan's pupils also dilated, his expression was even more confused and shocked than everyone else, and he looked at Xu Shu in disbelief.

God damn... you just spent the whole night masturbating! Damn! Looking at your guilty expression, you must have done something bad in the tunnel just now. How dare you use such a vicious trick to harm your master! You damned traitor, do you know how hard it was for me to debate with two ancient monsters last night? I did it all to protect you! ...

Gu Pan cursed in his heart and wished he could explode with Xu Shu on the spot so that everyone would be embarrassed together.

But in order to maintain her "Lord Grimm" persona, she could not refute or defend herself. She could only coldly put on an attitude of "I am an expert, I am too lazy to joke with you" and calmly asked, "How far is it to the destination?"

Ning Xin glanced at Gu Pan's back inconspicuously, pointed to a point on the map and said, "I've looked around just now, and now we are at this location. At the previous speed, we should be there in more than an hour."

"So fast?"

This question perked up everyone.

After a whole morning of traveling, which was said to be two or three hundred kilometers, it definitely felt like more than that, so everyone was still a little worried.

Hearing such good news at this moment naturally makes people feel a lot more relaxed.

Ning Xin glanced at the small brocade bag on Xie Xiaochan's waist, which seemed to be bulging but could never be filled, and thought for a moment before adding, "In fact, if we avoid all sources of danger, this time can be compressed to less than an hour, but in that case, we will lose some income. It depends on what you choose."

"It can be even faster?" The eyes of several people became brighter.

Everyone got together to discuss it, and finally decided to avoid the small fish and shrimp that came to their doorstep and to hurry on their way.

Ning Xin had no objection, and he immediately took the lead after getting everything ready. The others followed closely behind, maintaining a not-too-fast pace to avoid any abnormalities or people falling behind.

After walking for a while, we crossed several mountains and rivers and entered an area covered with thick fog, where visibility was less than three meters.

Gu Pan took the opportunity to sneak up to Xu Shu and gave him a stern look: "Hey, why did you drag me into the water just now? Were you... ahem, doing something to those monsters down there?"

"What?" Xu Shu pretended not to know.

“Don’t be stupid, okay?” Gu Pan made an OK sign with his left hand, and put his right index finger in, rubbing it back and forth.

"Fuck." Xu Shu almost spit out a mouthful of water. He said to Teacher, you are so perverted. This is Tai Chi Bahuang. How can you know so much? But in his heart, he thought, don't be so troublesome next time. Just point at my mermaid.

"Oh, don't I know you yet?"

Gu Pan, the veteran "paper-talking master", raised his chin complacently, then his eyes turned somewhat pitying as he whispered, "Ah, but I can understand. I've also discovered something recently. Perhaps this is the drawback of the Lishi path. Alas, it's really hard for you."

"Uh~" Xu Shu said to her and then fell silent.

Could it really be a psychological change caused by the curse?
At this moment, even Xu Shu himself began to believe the excuses he often used to cover up - he was not abnormal for bullying female ghosts, but the side effects of the "Li Shi" path were too bad!
[Or you should let her go. Taichujuan can't bear to see the blood flowing like a river. I'll introduce you to a better one next time.] Perhaps Gu Pan was too pure, even Taichujuan was silent at this time, and added in the subtitles.

Ten seconds later.

Seeing that Xu Shu remained silent for a long time, Gu Pan glanced down awkwardly, and after seeing clearly, he quickly retracted his gaze and sighed: "Forget it, teacher, I won't talk about this with you anymore. Have you used up the money I gave you before?"

Xu Shu was stunned: "What did you run out of? Money?"

"Hey, you don't have to be so shy. How can a student avoid talking to a teacher? Teacher, I haven't eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run..."

As Gu Pan was talking to himself, he stuffed a paper box that felt quite hard and was about half the size of a brick into Xu Shu's hand.

"? Not you, wait..."

"Anyway, be safe and protect yourself!"

Without waiting for Xu Shu to finish speaking, Gu Pan lowered his head in embarrassment and sped up, running to the front in a flash.

"Hiss, could this be..." Xu Shu was confused. He lowered his head and took a closer look with some guesses.

Wow! As expected, what Gu Pan sent was a brand new box that had not been opened!

"Speechless! Aren't you all sick? Xie Xiaochan also gave me this..." Xu Shu was speechless and after thinking about it, he decided to put the gift box away.

During this time, the mermaid seemed to notice something and looked up at Xu Shu, her eyes seeming to be expecting something.

"There's no place for you." Xu Shu refused mercilessly.

[This friendship is so twisted that it's a bit outrageous. It's too outrageous. 】

Taichu Juan silently provided evaluations to both Gu Pan and Xu Shu.

Nothing happened after that.

With the "butcher" as a radar, the route would detour from time to time and then return to the original track. During this period, no strange creatures were encountered that tried to attack them, making the Death Ridge ruins, which are known to be extremely dangerous, become extremely safe.

It’s so safe that it even seems a bit monotonous.

Finally, after nearly an hour's journey, we entered a town with a significantly different architectural style.

The buildings here were obviously completed after very careful planning. Circular corridors, overpasses, arch dams, etc. can be seen everywhere. They are connected to each other and seem to lead to all directions of the town, shining with extreme three-dimensional beauty.

Of course, this is when they are still complete.

More than 80% of what can be seen now are ruins. This kind of beauty has been greatly destroyed, which is particularly regrettable. However, as soon as she arrived here, Xie Xiaochan said excitedly: "Great! The entrance to the Challenger Duel Arena should be nearby!"

Everyone's spirits were lifted, but they did not become careless. Instead, they showed higher concentration and vigilance than before.

Ning Xin wanted to continue to be her guide without saying anything, but Xie Xiaochan stopped her at this time: "Fellow Daoist Ning, wait a minute, don't rush to the entrance. Hehe, this secret place is special. As I told you before, the trigger for entering the duel field can summon a monster to help in the battle."

"Yes." Everyone nodded like chicks pecking at rice and listened to her.

Xie Xiaochan laughed and said, "This monster cannot be summoned out of thin air. Instead, it must be found in this town. Some teams that didn't understand the situation have suffered losses. They ran directly into the secret realm without looking for helpers. The result was of course that they watched the countdown in the duel arena reset to zero, and ultimately worked in vain."

"what?"

"Is there such a thing?"

"What should I do?"

Several people were confused. It was obvious that they, like Xu Shu, did not know much about this rather niche "secret place within a secret place".

"So I said wait a minute. From the moment we entered this place, the trigger has actually taken effect. It will show us the way and help us find the target to assist us in the battle!" Xie Xiaochan confidently took out the half-broken handle of the sword, put it in her hand and let it spin.

Ding!Ding Ding!

As it began to spin, the broken blade continued to make metallic collision sounds as it passed an angle of more than seventy degrees to the south.

Xie Xiaochan immediately put it away: "I found it, follow me."

"It turns out that this trigger can also be used as a compass~"

Everyone suddenly realized and followed.

At this time, Xu Shu, who was still lagging behind, behaved as usual and did not attract the attention of his teammates.

However, in reality, at this moment, Xu Shu kept looking at the surrounding buildings, muttering to himself in surprise: "It turns out to be here! What a coincidence!"

From the moment he entered the ruins of the town, Xu Shu felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before.

Considering that the secret realm they were going to was related to the acquaintance "Qilixiang", and the trigger was also part of the corpse and weapons from "Oracle Bone", Xu Shu remembered that he (Arthur) had passed by here when he was fleeing, so he felt that the environment was familiar, and it was not a particularly strange thing.

But as he went deeper and deeper, he saw more and more building ruins. In front of one of the charred ruins, he saw a roughly recognizable broken stone tablet with the words "Raccoon City Hospital" on it. He finally confirmed that something was wrong. (Note 1)

This was not the place where he encountered the spell expert Oracle who tried to stop him, because he could still decipher the string of letters based on Arthur's memory, and it clearly said "Raccoon City Hospital"!
So this is the legendary birthplace of Arthur, the state of Florida where one can live but cannot not live, and the Raccoon City that was ultimately destroyed by a local sealed object riot?

"Hiss, this is strange... This place, when I was alive and dead, I was invincible all over the country, so I should be familiar with the map here."

"But why doesn't it match up?"

"Where is the Dark Mother Cathedral within a few hundred kilometers of Raccoon City?"

"It seems that some abnormalities have occurred in the ruins, so the terrain is inconsistent with the legend? Is the space distorted?"

Xu Shu was quite confused.

You have to know that in the world of [One Hundred Demons Night Parade] separated by a passage, although there are many strange monsters that you don’t recognize, the overall terrain is exactly the same as in the legend.

But this situation did not hold true on the other side of the strait, which was supposed to share the same worldview.

That's not right. The situation in Raccoon City seems to be the same as before. The collapsed ruins were the first elementary school I attended... ah, this is the second one... the third one...

[Oh, your brows slightly frowned, realizing that things are not simple. ]

[You are clearly revisiting an old place, but why do you feel that this place is both familiar and unfamiliar? It is really strange and puzzling. I guess there must be some very unspeakable secret here! ]

[Could it be that only the 'Death Ridge' was taken over as an extra, so I don't know, once I leave the influence of that church, I can enter the area I am familiar with? You think so, and your heart becomes more and more nervous. ]

"..."

Seeing that the Taichu Scroll did not provide any useful information, Xu Shu carefully followed everyone.

After searching for about a quarter of an hour, with the help of Xie Xiaochan's "Dragon-Dozing Ruler", they broke into a half-ruined high-end villa area. After searching for a while, they finally stopped in one of the villas that was relatively well preserved.

There was no one in the room, and the walls were even covered with various awards and many "family portraits".

In the photos, the woman is dressed maturely and quietly, looking knowledgeable, and her son is just learning to speak and looks cute. They look like a harmonious and loving family - unfortunately, this should be a single-parent family, as the father is not seen in any of the photos.

"It seems that our target should be in this house. Everyone, look for it carefully and don't act rashly. Don't hurt it." Xie Xiaochan looked at the half-broken magic sword "Cunzhi" that no longer made any sound, and said as a reminder.

"Understood!" Everyone immediately understood and began to look for honey passages, mechanisms, etc. in the house.

The corners of Xu Shu's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost couldn't hold it together.

"Oh my god, I've come back to my house after so many twists and turns... This house is surprisingly well preserved."

He is so familiar with this place!

This is where "Arthur" once lived!
The kid in the photo is himself, Arthur, a child version.

And that beautiful blonde woman is his cheap mother, a Level III agent of the Institute of Anomalous Biology, "Christina Chelsea"!
However, because Arthur was easily involved in various terrorist attacks since he was a child, Christina often moved with Arthur at that time.

Xu Shu still remembers that this was his hometown when he was less than three years old.

Um, so just one of home.

But it's not right...

How did the helper find his way to my house?

Wait, could it be Christina? No, she turned into an evil spirit with me, and was later taken away by Ksitigarbha, causing Arthur to lose his mother...

It seems that it is not her. Some monster must have used this place as a hideout. It is probably just a coincidence...

Xu Shu turned around. He was never good at decryption. Moreover, this place was the house where he used to live. He knew very well that there was no honey passage or secret room here.

If there is a monster here, which room should it be hiding in?
Xu Shu thought about it, activated his "spiritual perception", and began to search the house in his familiar way, from the toilet to the kitchen, from the first floor to the third floor...

I have to say, Christina is really rich. She lives alone with her kids in a big villa. She is worthy of being a researcher. But I couldn't find her after searching everywhere?

Xu Shu muttered to himself as he searched around but found nothing unusual. He began to suspect that there was something wrong with the magic sword "Cunzhi".

After all, it is only half of this size, and the possibility of failure is very high.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Xu Shu decided to see if others had any gains. He casually fiddled with the old photos on the wall and secretly put away a few of the more beautiful ones.

Just as he picked up the top photo, which showed Christina in a swimsuit holding Arthur at the beach, Gu Yueming, who had been following him for some reason, suddenly had dilated pupils and screamed, "Put it down... No, be careful and get out of the way!"

"?"

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, but before he could react, he saw that after the photo frame was picked up, the photo wall tilted and opened to reveal a dark entrance.

There is actually a secret room here!
A secret room that even Xu Shu never knew about!
"Woohoo!"

Amidst the terrifying roar of the evil beast, a bloody wind blew in his face, and sharp claws emerged from the secret room door without warning and pierced directly into Xu Shu's forehead!
