Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 804 The Two Missing Persons

The exact number of floors in the Mystery Building is still unknown, but in reality, the tallest floor in the Blessed Land is twenty floors.

After reaching the twentieth floor, even if there were still floors above, Wu Xian did not intend to continue harvesting Nightmare Coins in this way.

Apart from the first floor, there are only four groups of four-story buildings, as well as the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth floors as independent floors.

Therefore, this pie needs to meet the needs of at least three floors and at least one hundred original residents.

Fortunately, Wu Xian could customize the thickness of the pie when making the pie picture; otherwise, it really wouldn't have been enough for those hundred or so hungry aborigines to eat.

Although it's called customizable, the thickest it can get is only the same thickness as the pancake I gave to that smoking and drinking weirdo.

The pancake was divided into three pieces, one of which was to be thrown to the fourth floor.

Looking at the steaming, fragrant flatbread, Lingji swallowed hard, her eyes glazed over. Reaching for the flatbread, she said in a slightly coquettish tone:

"What a great pancake! There's still so much left. It's such a waste to give it all to those vicious scumbags. Why don't you leave a couple for your dear teammates to try?"

Wan Jue held the blood-stained axe, his head slightly raised, appearing as a cold-blooded killer, but his eyes kept drifting downwards.

Faced with his teammates' expectations, Wu Xian slapped Ling Ji's hand away.

"You absolutely must not eat this. The cake drawn by the 'Drawing a Cake to Satisfy Hunger' technique has fillings that I decided. So, to make the plan go smoothly, I added something extra to the filling."

"To make them unable to resist, to torment each other over the cake, I added a 'food-attracting agent' to the cake, the kind that's extremely potent. Evil spirits won't be affected, but humans..."

Although Wu Xian's explanation was somewhat vague, everyone could more or less guess what the appetite stimulant was, and therefore immediately abandoned the pie as if it were nothing.

The four men threw the large pancake to the fourth floor, then carried the two pancakes upstairs.

As you climb further up, the scenery of the Mystery Tower becomes somewhat unfamiliar.

The fog outside the window was getting thinner and thinner, but the fog inside the building was getting thicker and thicker. This fog was like a death countdown, urging the family members to act quickly.

Wu Xian's mood worsened as he went up the floor.

Because the two people he most wanted to find, Du'e and Hawke, had both vanished without a trace, leaving not even a hint of their existence.

On the fourteenth floor, they encountered Yun Tianchu.

Compared to when they parted last time, Yun Tianchu looked shockingly haggard. His yellow Taoist robe was tattered, his face was withered and pale, and he moved even more slowly than Wu Xian, who was carrying the Red Tongue Demon. His eyes were also somewhat unfocused.

After he reunited with the others, he didn't explain his current situation in much detail, and continued to explore the upper floors together.

Their journey upwards is not always linear.

Every time day turns into night, someone has to go down to check if any new rent collectors have emerged on the lower floors, in order to prevent the rent collectors from "killing" the indigenous people they regard as "seedlings".

When they arrived on the 18th floor, there was no longer any fog outside the window.

A pale sun hung in the cloudless sky, with thick fog below, like clouds, obscuring everything on the ground.

It was as if the group had not climbed a tall building, but rather ascended a mountain that pierced through the clouds!

Everyone, including Wu Xian, paused at the window for a short while.

Since entering this blessed land, they have been in a very oppressive environment, either inside buildings or surrounded by fog.

Seeing the vast sky brought some relief to my suppressed feelings.

This wasn't the first time Wu Xian had seen the sky, so he was thinking about other things.

"Sure enough, just like in the dream and in reality, once you reach a certain height, there is no more fog. It is very likely that the area where the fog exists is the area where the power of the fog giant is greatest."

The last three floors were also uninhabited, and their dilapidated state added to the desolation. Finally, the five members of the family reached the twentieth floor.

The twentieth floor was in ruins, with large sections of the ceiling broken, and in some places, you could see the pale sun just by looking up.

The mystery building only has twenty floors; this is the highest one!

They found a relatively intact room, sat down around a round table, and temporarily stopped their actions.

After a period of silence, Wu Xian spoke first.

"At the beginning of my third dream, I set three goals for myself."

"First, we need to figure out the floor mechanism of the mystery building so that we can reach any floor smoothly."

"Second, gather supplies to prepare for the final battle."

"Third, rejoin your teammates."

"My first goal is accomplished, and the second is underway; I just need to wait a while to reap the rewards. But the third goal..."

As he spoke, Wu Xian's expression darkened, and his voice became slightly hoarse.

"We have walked all twenty floors, but we have not encountered Du'e and Hawke."

"Hawk was targeted by the Mist Giant because he saw something forbidden. That thing is an evil spirit on the verge of extinction, so it's not surprising that anything could happen if it targets you."

"When Du E entered the dream for the second time, she encountered an irresistible and special evil spirit. None of the people present cooperated with her during the second dream, and she did not enter the dream a third time."

"Under these circumstances, neither of them has a high probability of survival."

"There's no point in continuing the search. So let's assume these two are dead and hold our final meeting!"

At this point, Wu Xian was in a bad mood.

It was as if a dark cloud was floating in his heart, ready to rain at any moment.

Wu Xian has experienced so many blessed lands, and there are many people who have explored blessed lands with him, but most of them are just friends who get meals together.

In reality, the only people who could truly be considered friends were Du E and Shi Ji...

When he entered the blessed land, he never took the initiative to team up with others. This choice was actually very detrimental to the survival of the dependents in the blessed land. He was somewhat stubborn and could even be called foolish.

But many of those who make similar choices share the same thoughts.

I don't want to watch my friend die.

People die in blessed lands. Those who are attached to the land are not capable of protecting others. If they frequently explore blessed lands with friends, they will eventually witness their friends die.

Wu Xian didn't like this.

Therefore, he felt very upset at that moment.

Just as the strategic meeting was about to begin, everyone suddenly heard a voice.

"Wait a minute, please include me in the meeting!"

It was Hawke's voice, but everyone could only hear it and not see him, so they wanted to stand up and look for him.

Hawke hurriedly said:
"Please don't get up! That thing is still looking for me. It's not very sensitive to sound, but its eyesight is excellent. I'm not sure if it can see the twentieth floor. Let's be careful... If it finds out my approximate location, we're doomed!"
