There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 277, The Queen's Invitation
The dormitory window is an old steel window with a rusty frame.

Lu Yue glanced at the time and confirmed that he still had some time before he had to go on patrol. He put away his phone, walked slowly to the window and looked out. The cemetery in the distance seemed like a claustrophobic hell forgotten by reality, so quiet that it was heart-wrenching.

Then he closed the window and locked it, ready to continue browsing the posts.

However, the moment he turned around, the window handle that was originally locked suddenly twisted on its own, making a creaking sound that made his teeth ache.

Bang!
The glass window was suddenly pushed open and the cold wind blew in like a sharp blade.

At the same time, the silence in the cemetery was broken.

There was a strange knock on the door suddenly.

dong dong dong... dong dong dong...

The sound was dull and powerful, echoing in the night sky.

Lu Yue's eyes flashed, he walked to the door and pushed it open.

There was no one outside the door, only a deserted atmosphere.

"How dare you show off your little trick of scaring people with ghosts in front of me?"

Looking around, Lu Yue finally caught a black shadow exactly the same as the one in the death video in a dark corner in the distance where the street lights could not reach.

At the same time, the newly built street lights outside the dormitory began to flicker.

These street lights were added because of an accident that occurred to a night patrol officer some time ago. They only surround the dormitory area, while the cemetery in the distance is still pitch black. Folk legends believe that the dead in the underworld need to find a home, and if there are street lights in front of the cemetery to illuminate the way ahead, it will interfere with the dead's search and affect their reincarnation.

Therefore, there are generally no street lights in cemeteries in order to ensure the peace of the cemetery.

However, this move unexpectedly became a weapon for ghosts to scare people.

A dark shadow in the distance was looming under the flickering lights and slowly approaching.

"It's not even my workday yet, and you're so anxious to die?!!!"

"I'll help you!!!"

Lu Yue formed seals with his hands instantly.

The golden handprint drew a brilliant track in the air and hit the black shadow.

The black shadow's clothes were torn, revealing a mottled skeleton.

It is somewhat similar to the spliced ​​skeleton that Lu Yue had encountered in Guhe Village before.

But one is a corpse in the water, and the other is a corpse on land.

Without any nonsense, Lu Yue stomped his feet and rushed forward.

Boom boom boom!
Nirvana's heart was beating and surging, and Lu Yue's whole body was hot, as if the sun was scorching in the sky. Wherever he passed, the coldness around him was dispelled, and the air was gradually distorted by the high temperature.

In the blink of an eye, he approached the opponent and punched him hard.

There was a loud bang.

All kinds of bones from the skeleton flew everywhere and scattered on the ground.

"With this kind of strength, you still dare to come out and harm others?"

"Who is the person behind you?"

Lu Yue's whole body was burning hot and his eyes were as sharp as torches.

The broken skeleton was put together again.

But this time it obviously already knew Lu Yue's strength.

He began to flee desperately into the distance.

"I have killed countless skeletons like you."

"Can you run away today?!!!"

In the Furukawa Village incident, it was Xiaohong's will-o'-the-wisp that forcibly pieced together the skeleton.

So who is behind this incident?

Lu Yue became interested and chased after it relentlessly. Before he knew it, he had reached a village near the cemetery. At this time, the skeleton's aura suddenly became unpredictable.

Just as Lu Yue was frowning, a scream suddenly came from a house in front.

So he followed suit and unexpectedly saw Uncle Zhao.

"Uncle Zhao, why are you here?"

At this time, Uncle Zhao looked frightened. He pointed to the window and kept muttering words like "skeleton".

After learning more about the situation, Lu Yue found out that Uncle Zhao lived here. Just now, when Uncle Zhao got up at night, he suddenly saw a skeleton passing by the window and running in the other direction. He was almost scared to death.

At this time, Uncle Zhao also reacted and asked Lu Yue why he was here.

Lu Yue said seriously, "Uncle Zhao, to be honest, I am actually a barefoot doctor. Just now someone called and said he was sick and needed a doctor."

Uncle Zhao looked confused.

He couldn't understand why a doctor would work in a cemetery.

"I've been in the village. It's the middle of the night. If someone in the village is sick, they'll turn on the lights. It's pitch black here. Someone must have called the wrong number."

"Oh, it turned out to be a wrong number."

Lu Yue looked disappointed, and then continued, "By the way, Uncle Zhao, you told me that you had cancer during the day. I have actually been thinking about it. I just looked through the ancestral medical books and found a solution to cancer. I will treat you."

Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhao bluntly said that he had seen a Chinese doctor but the disease could not be cured.

Lu Yue shook his head repeatedly.

"Uncle Zhao, there are differences between Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. My lineage specializes in treating various difficult and complicated diseases. In fact, curing cancer is very simple. All you need to do is kill the host."

Without waiting for Uncle Zhao to react, Lu Yue quickly formed seals with his hands.

A golden palm strike directly slammed Uncle Zhao against the wall.

Then Lu Yue stared at the other person with cold eyes.

"Should I continue to call you Uncle Zhao or the Bone Collector?"

At this time, Uncle Zhao slowly got up from the ground, changed his previous frightened look, and said after a pause: "Young man, how did you find me?"

"So many patrolmen have died in the cemetery. You said you were only on the day shift so nothing happened. This is too much of a coincidence. And just now, I was tracking a skeleton, and it happened to be running towards you. You happened to be up at night, and you happened to see the skeleton running in the other direction..."

"There are not so many coincidences in this world. Some are just man-made."

"But I'm curious, how did you disguise yourself as an ordinary old man?"

At first, Lu Yue did not suspect the other party. Although he did not conduct a comprehensive investigation on Uncle Zhao when they first met during the day, with his current strength, he could find clues even if the extraordinary people below the seventh level of the Divine Hidden Realm just appeared in his field of vision.

But during the day he clearly sensed that the other party was just an old man who was about to die, and did not have the energy fluctuations of a supernatural being, until just now when he used the Nine-Character Mantra to subdue demons and exorcise evil spirits seal that had no effect on ordinary people to test him.

After trying it, the other party did react.

This is a supernatural being whose methods tend to be ghost-like.

It is most likely the bone collector mentioned in the post.

"Young man, I warned you during the day to leave but you refused. Now you come to me on your own accord. Well... I hope you won't be so curious in your next life."

Uncle Zhao, or the bone collector, smiled sinisterly.

Immediately afterwards, a grim and terrifying skeleton walked out from the darkness, and the moment it touched the bone collector's skin, it began to strangely penetrate into him.

Eventually, the skeleton and the flesh completely merged into one.

The bone collector suddenly burst out with the aura of a supernatural being.

Lu Yue raised his eyebrows and was secretly amazed.

The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. This ability is truly eye-opening.

The bone collector used special bones to splice together and continuously absorbed bone souls to create this strange skeleton skeleton. When used externally, it is no different from an ordinary ghost. When used internally, it can be transformed into a supernatural being.

“Young man, you are too conceited. If you had taken action when the skeleton was merging with me just now, you might still have a chance. But now, the skeleton has merged with me perfectly. Let me show you my strength that is comparable to the seventh level of the Shenzang realm!” The bone collector suddenly attacked, shattering the air with one punch.

With the blessing of special bones, the whole person is as hard as steel.

Snapped!
Lu Yue caught it easily with one hand.

The bone collector was horrified.

"Compared to the Seventh Heaven of the Godly Treasures, that means you haven't reached the Seventh Heaven of the Godly Treasures yet?"

"I didn't interrupt your fusion. I just wanted to see what other tricks you have."

"In the end, is this all you have?"

"With your strength, why are you pretending in front of me?!!!"

Lu Yue had an indifferent expression. He exerted force with his right hand. With a click, the bones in the bone collector's body shattered instantly. Then he gave a light shake, and the bone collector's body was thrown away and smashed through the wall, causing brick chips to fly everywhere.

"You...how come you are so powerful?!"

The bone collector grimaced in pain and looked at Lu Yue in disbelief.

"It's not that I'm too strong, it's that you're too weak!"

Faced with Lu Yue's murderous words, the bone collector gritted his teeth and suddenly turned around to flee the scene, while Lu Yue was calm and unhurried. He performed the Wind God Sealing Heaven Kick, and his whole body was as agile as the wind, his figure erratic, and he followed closely.

Seeing that Lu Yue was elusive, like a dog-skin plaster, the fleeing bone collector shouted in fear: "Young man, we have no hatred in the past and no grudges in the present, why are you chasing me?!!!"

Lu Yue said calmly, "You are right. I have no grudge against you. But I came to the cemetery this time mainly to find a woman. You should have seen her."

Upon hearing this, the bone collector's heart sank.

Could this be the reinforcements for that woman?
The bone collector asked tentatively: "What is your relationship with that woman?"

Sensing the trepidation in the other party's tone, Lu Yue's thoughts raced as he said, "That woman is from the official Demon Suppression Division and killed my brother. This time I found out that she appeared here, so I came here to avenge my brother."

Upon hearing that it was an enemy, the bone collector immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly stopped running and saw Lu Yue appear in front of him without even taking a breath. He hurriedly said, "Wait, listen to me, we are all in the same boat. That woman ruined my plan and I have lured her to a place where she will definitely die. I have avenged you."

Lu Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "Her ability is illusion. Can you ensure that it is foolproof?"

The bone collector smiled evilly and said, "Your illusion ability is indeed special, but in that place, even a dragon would have to coil up."

"Where?" Lu Yue asked.

"The territory of a lady." The bone collector replied.

Hearing the word "Empress", Lu Yue couldn't help but frown.

Seeing that Lu Yue did not take action immediately, the bone collector breathed a sigh of relief again, and then said: "My friend, I see that you are so strong at such a young age. I think you must be a hidden genius in a certain city. Let's make peace today. I can take you to participate in the Queen's selection event. This is a great opportunity!"

Soon, Lu Yue learned some information from the bone collector.

The other party is not a local, but from another city.

The main reason I came to Zhoucheng this time was because I received the invitation letter sent out by the Empress.

He arrived in Zhoucheng in advance and accidentally discovered this Feng Shui treasure land.

Just as no dog can resist chewing a bone.

For the bone collector, the corpses and bone souls in this Feng Shui treasure land are an irresistible temptation. Only with the corpses can the strength of the skeleton be improved.

Only with the bone soul can he become one with the skeleton.

Originally, there was no branch of the Demon Suppression Bureau in Zhoucheng, so it was not a big deal for him to use his ability to extract bone souls. However, he did not expect that Captain Zhong of the Demon Suppression Bureau in Taicheng Town suddenly appeared and defeated his skeleton that night.

In order to avoid being targeted by the authorities, he designed a plan to lure Captain Zhong to the site where the Empress was holding the conference, intending to use the Empress's power to get rid of the other party.

I have to say that the other party's tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife is quite good.

During this period, Lu Yue also learned the details of this selection conference.

I heard that as long as you pass the test, it means you have the qualifications to become a god, and you can also get some great opportunities. In addition, there are rumors on the Internet that there will be a great catastrophe in the near future, and no extraordinary person will be able to avoid it.

But there is a way to avoid it as long as you are selected this time.

It's the real-life version of the end of the world, and I urgently need a ticket to Noah's Ark.

Therefore, many people who received the invitation letters went to Zhoucheng secretly.

Lu Yue asked: "Can someone like me who doesn't have an invitation letter get in?"

Bone Collector: "It's not a big problem. These invitations are anonymous. There are many extraordinary people hiding in Zhoucheng during this period. We can work together to get you one."

Lu Yue: "No problem. By the way, what does the invitation letter look like?"

The bone collector's expression suddenly changed, and he squeezed out words with difficulty from between his teeth and said, "Are you trying to steal my share?"

Lu Yue shook his head, stretched out his hand and said seriously: "I'll just take a look."

Forced by the current situation, the bone collector took out an invitation letter from his arms.

Lu Yue took it and examined it carefully, and found that the address was a private manor, and there was a strange evil energy fluctuation on the invitation letter.

He did not rush to eliminate it, but rather took it into his pocket.

"Since we are friends, please lend me your copy temporarily..."

Bone Collector: “…”

"Okay, but you have to promise to grab one for me."

"Of course, no problem. By the way, since you have lent me this invitation, it wouldn't be too much for me to lend you another thing, right?"

Upon hearing this, the bone collector took two steps back and said hesitantly, "Are you trying to borrow my head?"

"Do you think I look like that kind of person?"

"Not like."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yue suddenly drew out the bronze axe and chopped towards the bone collector. The bone collector was caught off guard and was instantly pierced through the body by the axe blade and fell to the ground.

"You can't judge people well."

Only then did Lu Yue finish his last sentence.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of prompt sounds rang in Lu Yue’s mind.

A total of fifty-eight strands.

So much source energy?
Lu Yue was overjoyed, but after thinking about it for a while he understood. After all, the skeleton inside the other party was a bone ghost, so it was not surprising that he could produce the source energy of a complete ghost.

After dealing with the scene, Lu Yue left quietly.

The time marked on the invitation was exactly tomorrow, so he decided to go to the private manor to find out what was going on. One reason was to find Captain Zhong, and the other was that he also wanted to find out the real purpose of the organization holding this conference.

However, going deep into the enemy's lair is fraught with danger.

Before that, you must be fully prepared.

After the last trip to the ruins of the God of Longevity, Peng Zu taught him a special method of communication before leaving. It was similar to sending a telegram. It could contact the other party by consuming lifespan, and the specific amount of lifespan consumed was proportional to the spatial distance.

However, the minimum lifespan is one year per character.

"Lu Wei returns quickly"

For a long time, no one responded.

Lu Yue frowned and sent it again.

"Zhang Yaling is in danger"

Soon... Lu Yue received a reply in his mind.

Lu Yue: “…”
