Chapter 314 The Joker's Hat Trick, Strange Space
Looking at the talisman money and the clown box, Chen Xin chose to look at the talisman money first.

He was still very eager to know the memories of the leader of the Skull God Cult.

Chen Xin placed the talisman containing the seal of the Skull God Cult leader under his pillow, and soon entered the memory recall of the Skull God Cult leader.

When Chen Xin opened his eyes again, there was satisfaction in them.

Chen Xin obtained a lot of useful information from the memories of the leader of the Skull God Cult.

For example, the positions of other gurus in the Skull God Cult.

To Chen Xin's surprise, in addition to the information he had previously obtained about the Skull God Cult's master on the Thai-Myanmar border, he also obtained information about the Skull God Cult's master in Japan.

It must be said that although the Skull God Cult is not as large as organizations like the Divine Messenger or Ghost Slave, its idea of ​​looking towards the world is still quite good.

If things really don't work out in Great Xia, they can seamlessly transfer to Thailand, Myanmar, or Japan.

Unfortunately, the cult leader is gone.

Chen Xin memorized the faces of those masters, as well as some important locations of the Skull God Cult within the Great Xia territory.

These are all things that can upgrade an information sorter's level, so don't miss them.

Besides information about the Skull God Cult itself, Chen Xin also received some unexpected surprises.

Information about the underworld!
The leader of the Skull God Cult had a unique understanding of the Yin and Netherworld, and this uniqueness deepened after he became neither human nor ghost, stepped into the half-step Black Abyss, and used the Black Abyss body to perceive the Yin and Netherworld region.

This understanding happens to include the 'information' that Chen Xin obtained when he repaired the cracks.

A ghost of the Black Abyss level can sense the 'saturation' level of the Yin-Yang region.

When the saturation level is too high, if there are cracks in the area, those substances, namely the Yin and Yang Qi and Yin Qi, will be output to the outside world through the cracks.

Without cracks, excessive yin energy and yin qi will begin to look for weak points to squeeze out, and then create cracks.

This information seems to be innate knowledge of Black Abyss-level ghosts. If the leader of the Skull God Cult hadn't transformed into Black Abyss, it would have been impossible for him to know this information.

In addition, after transforming into the Black Abyss, the leader of the Skull God Cult confirmed some of his previous speculations.

That guess is about the God of the Chaotic World!

The leader of the Skull God Cult originally aimed to become a god of the turbid world, so he sought out a lot of information about gods of the turbid world.

Unfortunately, the information about the God of Chaos was too advanced for him to explore on his own, and he only learned bits and pieces from the Bureau of Investigation.

After entering the Black Abyss, the leader of the Skull God Cult integrated and filtered the information he had previously obtained based on the extra information in his mind, and then came to a guess.

The God of Turbidity is very likely the Black Abyss!
That's right, the God of Turbidity is the Black Abyss, but a special kind of Black Abyss!

The leader of the Skull God Cult failed to condense the Ghost Realm possessed by the Black Abyss, but during the condensation process, he sensed the connection between the Ghost Realm and the current Yin-Yang region.

Based on the information about the Ghost Realm, the Skull God Cult speculates that perhaps after the Black Abyss's strength increases to a certain level, the Yin-Yang region where the Black Abyss is located may transform into the Ghost Realm of the Black Abyss!

By then, Black Abyss might be called the God of the Turbid World.

As for what kind of being the God of Turbidity is and what He can do, the leader of the Skull God Cult combined his own understanding and imagination to form his own concept.

First, when the God of the Turbid World transforms a dark and gloomy area into his own ghost realm, he can escape the darkness and enter an unknown space.

This unknown space is most likely located between Yin and Yang, that is, in the darkness within the crack.

Whether human or ghost, when entering the rift, they all pass through that darkness, but they cannot linger or touch it.

But a god of the turbid world should be able to do it.

According to the leader of the Skull God Cult, the God of Turbidity may very well be living in that darkness!

As for what was happening in that darkness, and how the God of the Turbid World affected the mortal world, the leader of the Skull God Cult couldn't guess, because he had absolutely no clue.

Unless, he has entered that darkness!
"pity……"

Chen Xin opened his eyes, somewhat sighing.

But it was just a sigh.

If the leader of the Skull God Cult were to become the God of Chaos, Chen Xin would have no way to obtain his head, nor would he be able to learn this information.

Shaking his head, Chen Xin flung the head of the Skull God Cult leader out of the talisman, then used his mourning staff to seal the evil spirits inside the head within the paper.

Immediately, Chen Xin obtained a congenital Yin object head, and the Sorrow Staff gained two new abilities: [Ghost Skull] and a [Three-Headed] illusion.

After the Staff of Sorrow triggers [Ghost Skull], you can control a designated ghost to transform into a head and be controlled by the Staff of Sorrow.

After seeing the information about the [Ghost Skull], Chen Xin had already imagined the scene of his head flying around when the Staff of Mourning was shaken.

"If he had this ability during the qualifying rounds, my uncle would probably be more like a villain than a righteous person."

Chen Xin chuckled.

As for the "Three Heads" illusion technique, it will cause a target with a head to grow two heads in the illusion.

The three heads each have their own thoughts. If the target's head cannot resist the temptation of the other two heads, it will become nothing more than a walking corpse.

These two abilities are quite good; if given the opportunity, Chen Xin could give them a try.

This is the Staff of Mourning, and there's also that sinister object transformed from the head of the Skull God Cult leader.

This head has an even more bizarre ability: it can replace heads!

It's possible to replace a person's head in a bizarre way, without killing them!
This is similar to the case of the skull-swapping corpse of a cult member that Chen Xin had seen in the basement before.

In addition, the grotesque head of the leader of the Skull God Cult can also be replaced with a human head.

Of course, the consciousness is still the original owner of the body, not the consciousness of the leader of the Skull God Cult.

Looking at the head of the leader of the Skull God Cult, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh.

This guy who turned from a human into a ghost seems to be more like a ghost than a real ghost!
Chen Xin placed the head in the warehouse of the underworld in Sanshan Village. He didn't intend to use it, nor did he know what use it could have.

It could be placed in the underworld messenger's exchange window as a reward or exchange item.

Chen Xin thought to himself.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with letting underworld officials use such a thing.

If used correctly, it will be correct; if used incorrectly, it will be incorrect.

Just like how the Myriad Souls Banner is called the Myriad Souls Banner in the hands of the demonic path, but is called the Human Emperor Banner in the hands of the righteous path.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xin used the mourning staff to manipulate the clown box.

The Staff of Mourning gains two more abilities: [Circus] and [Circus Stage].

【Circus】is the circus act that the clown can perform, including all the circus acts he has performed on stage before, such as catching rabbits from inside hats, creating balloons out of thin air, riding a unicycle, and so on.

As for the [Circus Stage], it creates a stage illusion, drawing the target into the illusion to experience the illusion that Wei Tianrong and the others had experienced before, and to watch the clown performance.

If you believe your arm is broken while in the illusion, you will lose control of your arm after you come out.

Similarly, the head falling off and the person dying instantly is a form of murder similar to hypnosis, but with a more eerie twist.

Chen Xin had little interest in the circus stage, but was very interested in another circus skill.

He took out his staff and used the Hat Trick ability from the [Circus] skill set.

Immediately, a black top hat appeared in Chen Xin's hand.

After looking at the hat, Chen Xin reached inside.

"what?"

Chen Xin found that his hands seemed to touch many things, things that were like sand and water, which he could not grasp but could feel.

"these things……"

Chen Xin looked at the various furnishings in the room.

As his gaze fell upon a cup on the table, his hand, hidden in his hat, suddenly grasped something harder than anything he had just touched.

He withdrew his hand, and the thing was taken out.

At the same time, a black aura enveloped the cup on his table.

The black mist quickly disappeared, and the cup vanished without a trace.

In Chen Xin's hand, which he had just taken out of his hat, was a cup.

"Telekinesis?"

Chen Xin's eyes widened.

Before obtaining Tusu wine, Chen Xin had to ask Huang Ying and the others to do things for him, but now he can get them directly.
Chen Xin didn't believe it and reached out again, taking the pen from the table.

Not only can you take it out, you can also put it back!

He became interested and turned his gaze to the chair.

Reach out.

I didn't get it this time.

"Is it too big?"

Chen Xin conducted several more tests.

Basically, he can get anything as long as it's big enough to be taken out of the hat.

But talismans are an exception!
Neither the Candle Night Stone Town, nor the Suppressing Money, nor the Mourning Staff can be taken away.

But setting that aside, even if it's something from the underworld, this hat can still produce it, which makes Chen Xin very interested in this 'hat trick'.

It wasn't the ability itself that interested him, but the principle behind it! Chen Xin summoned the Raven Prophet, who detached a raven feather, which transformed into a raven and burrowed into his hat.

Immediately, Chen Xin's consciousness was projected onto the crow.

All I could see was darkness, with absolutely no sense of direction.

As Chen Xin's thoughts moved, the blurry shapes of various things appeared in the darkness, glowing faintly.

After discovering this pattern, Chen Xin began to control his thoughts.

Soon, Chen Xin saw his slightly glowing room model. With a thought, the room model turned into black mist and dissipated. When it reappeared, it had become the piece of land under the big banyan tree in Sanshan Village. With another thought, the black mist dispersed and re-condensed, becoming the Information Processing Department of the Public Opinion Investigation Bureau.

What is this black mist?

Chen Xin suddenly had this idea.

And just after his thought came to mind, everything inside the hat disappeared.

Suddenly, Chen Xin felt as if the crow had passed through something.

Then his eyes lit up.

Chen Xin saw himself!

I saw myself holding a mourning staff and a hat, with my eyes closed.

Suddenly, Chen Xin opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the crow should be.

But there was nothing there.

The perspective shifts, and the crow is still there, watching Chen Xin as he looks around.

This scene illustrates that the crow was seeing a live feed.

With a question in mind, Chen Xin let the crow land on his shoulder.

The crow actually 'stood' on my shoulder.

In reality, however, Chen Xin still didn't perceive anything.

It was a strange feeling. The fact that the crow could stand on Chen Xin's shoulder meant that the crow could touch Chen Xin.

But Chen Xin couldn't see or touch it, as if he were in different levels of the same space, or perhaps in the same location in different times and spaces, or a projection?
Chen Xin didn't know how to express this feeling.

So he decided to continue controlling the crow, looking around that space to see if he could find anything.

But once it moved within ten meters of Chen Xin's location, the crow seemed to have been erased and disappeared.

At the same time, Chen Xin's head also throbbed with pain.

Chen Xin was very familiar with this feeling; it was the same feeling he had when the consciousness attached to the paper-cut body was destroyed after the paper-cut body took effect.

In other words, the wisp of consciousness that Chen Xin projected onto the crow was destroyed.

It was destroyed before Chen Xin could react.

After a while, Chen Xin looked at the hat again.

The inside of the hat was still pitch black, but the feeling was different from before.

The hat seemed to hold endless secrets, tempting Chen Xin to explore.

This thought was so strong that Chen Xin immediately used his mourning staff to dispel the hat.

Feeling his emotions calm down, Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Are you kidding me? He's never even been to Sanshan Village in person, how could he risk his life to explore this thing?

However, after removing the hat, Chen Xin suddenly thought of something.

Was that scene just now, that darkness, and the same place that the leader of the Skull God Cult speculated about the location of the Turbid World God...?

Chen Xin was puzzled; he couldn't prove whether what he thought was true or false.

However, the Joker is merely a Blood Calamity-level demon, still a Black Abyss away from becoming a World God.

If it were really that powerful, how could it have been swallowed up by the leader of the Skull God Cult?
Chen Xin thought it probably wasn't.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Don't use the hat trick unnecessarily. It's not like we don't have the ability to telekinesis."

Chen Xin thought to himself.

Whether it is or not, there won't be a problem if you don't use it!

We'll explore what's inside the hat when we're more confident.

After what had just happened, Chen Xin was no longer in the mood to test the other circus acts of the mourning staff. He turned around and picked up the clown box.

Compared to the eeriness of the circus, the abilities of the clown box, this sinister object, are somewhat easier to understand.

Chen Xin grabbed the clown head with the spring on the box, about to try it out, when he suddenly stopped.

Then Huang Ying took the box to Sanshan Village for the illusionary body to test.

When Huang Ying channeled Yin energy into the clown box, the clown box transformed into a fluid like water, enveloping Chen Xin's illusory form within it.

Before long, a clown the same height as Chen Xin appeared in Sanshan Village.

Chen Xin tried to move the illusionary body and found that in addition to the change in appearance, the body's coordination and speed had also increased a lot, and it could even perform some actions that defied common sense.

For example, climbing a tree by stepping on the trunk, standing upside down on the roof, or stepping on the treetop but only slightly bending the treetop.

It seems that some irrationalities have become reasonable in the case of the clown Chen Xin.

But apart from that, it has no other abilities.

If Chen Xin, the clown, were to hold the Staff of Mourning at this moment, he would be a complete clown.

The illusion pinched its red nose and ripped the clown box off its body.

"This thing is quite fun, let's add it to the exchange list for the underworld messengers."

Chen Xin smiled and had his illusion body throw the clown box into the warehouse.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was a text message from the bureau chief.

"Don't forget the mission!"

Chen Xin glanced at the time; it was 12 o'clock, two hours until 2 o'clock.

However, the coffee shop is not close by; it might take an hour to get there. There's nothing wrong with leaving now.

After replying to the bureau chief that he had received the message, Chen Xin glanced at his clothes.

It's not very dirty, you can wear it.

He immediately left the room with his satchel on his back.

……

An hour later, Chen Xin sat down at First Encounter Cafe and ordered a glass of juice.

"Are you Chen Xin?"

Suddenly, a voice came.

Chen Xin looked up, stood up, and said with a smile:
"It's me, you must be Yao Lingling."

The stylishly dressed and somewhat attractive Yao Lingling sat down in front of Chen Xin.

"To make a long story short, I'm open to dating, but there's one condition."

"I need to go abroad and settle overseas. If you want to date me, you have to come up with 500,000 yuan to improve my life."

"If you agree, then proceed; if you disagree, then pretend you never saw it."

Looking at the task target in front of him, Chen Xin felt that his achievement of completing the task 100% was about to be shattered.

Still calling it a 'pleasant date'?
Will this date turn out well?

Chen Xin thought about it and decided to chat for a bit; maybe things would turn out better after all.

"Well, money isn't a problem, but I do have a question."

Yao Lingling's eyes lit up.

"Tell me, as long as it's not excessive, I'll agree."

Chen Xin thought for a moment, then looked into Yao Lingling's eyes.

"I want to know, you've gone abroad... what am I supposed to do then?"

"You? You also want to settle abroad?"

Chen Xin's face turned green. So this was a long-distance relationship?

This task is better left undone!

……

P.S.: I'm taking a break today, so here's only one update. I need to sort out the rest of the plot.

The monthly votes should reach 4500, so let's say 4500 votes. That's 2 extra chapters, for a total of 37 extra chapters. 19 chapters have been paid, and 18 chapters are still owed.

Thank you everyone for your monthly votes! The rule of adding an extra chapter for every 500 monthly votes is still in effect; any unfinished chapters will continue next month.
