Chapter 323 Bureau of Investigation: Two Gods of the Turbid World!

Chen Xin looked at the cat in Luo Da's hand and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

When entering the underworld, Chen Xin was more cautious. While hiding himself, he had his illusory body stay at the entrance of Sanshan Village.

Although the substitute paper-cutting has not yet advanced to the Yama level, the illusion ability of the Yin Si level is something that neither the cat used as a vessel nor Rhoda can see through.

Of course, if a god from the mortal world were to personally arrive, not even a paper-cutting at the level of the Underworld God, let alone a paper-cutting at the level of Yama, might be able to fool him.

Unfortunately, the gods of this turbid world cannot come.

The candle flame mark on his forehead dissipated, and three candle flames lit up on Chen Xin's body. Then, the candle flames flew away from Chen Xin's body, landed in his hand, and re-condensed into three ever-burning lamps.

Looking at the three ever-burning lamps, Chen Xin felt satisfied.

The Everlasting Lamp that was promoted from the Yin Marshal level to the Yama level has two additional affixes: [Melting Fire] and [Candle Eye].

The "Melting Fire" ability is the same as the "Eternal Lamp" that was previously transformed into flames and applied to Chen Xin's three flames. In this state, not only are the three flames strengthened, but the enemy also cannot eliminate the effect of the "Eternal Lamp" by destroying it.

The "candle eye" refers to the process of the three candles "opening their eyes" afterward.

The candle flame between Chen Xin's eyebrows is like a third eye on his body. It can see the interlayered space and also allow the candle flame to enter the interlayered space to burn away the ghosts and monsters in the designated space level.

But Chen Xin wasn't sure if this method would solve the problem of the black cat, so he used another method.

The candlestick was imprinted on the black cat's forehead.

The candle mark is a buff on Chen Xin, but it becomes something like a curse on Gui Chong.

The black cat has many faces, but the candle flame mark wasn't branded onto those faces, but onto the black cat's body itself.

If the main body has an extra candle flame mark on its forehead, how could the rest of its skin be normal?

So in the end, all of the black cat's faces, including its body, were burned away.

However, Chen Xin did not expect that the God of Chaos could still exist for a period of time even after the black cat's original body was gone.

If Chen Xin hadn't been using an illusionary body, he might have actually managed to put his face on the cat's face.

These thoughts flashed through Chen Xin's mind.

The God of Chaos is gone, the Black Cat is gone, but there is still one person.

Looking at Luo Da, Chen Xin smiled and said, "It seems your parents forgot to take you with them."

After Chen Xin finished speaking, he saw Luo Da, who was holding the black cat, stiffen for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Rhoda turn around and look at him.

"what are you laughing at."

Rhoda’s tone was icy and chilling, and he seemed to have no concern whatsoever for his current situation.

"Answer me, what are you laughing at!"

Chen Xin frowned, muttering to himself.

Could it be that the blow was too great and his mind went haywire?

Chen Xin looked at Luo Da and asked, "Are you a messenger of the gods?"

"Heh heh, ha ha... I'm laughing at your ignorance, you're going to die..."

Rhoda laughed wildly, hysterically.

Chen Xin felt unwell and immediately took up his mourning staff.

As the mourning staff was waved, wailing sounds rang out, and with the wailing, the illusion spell of the mourning staff was activated.

Chen Xin wasn't going to waste time chatting with the other person; using illusion magic would be faster.

"Are you a messenger of the gods?"

After asking the question, Rhoda's smile vanished, and he replied somewhat bewilderedly, "I am the guide of the divine messengers."

"A guide? Someone who specifically receives gods of the corrupt world?"

"Yes, if adults are to descend to the mortal world, they need to be guided and they need a vessel. These are all things that we guides do."

"You? How many guides are there?"

"Thirty-six of them are distributed across various cities in the Great Xia Dynasty. This way, we can react more quickly when the adults need to descend upon a city."

Chen Xin was taken aback.

How did you contact the God of Turbidity?

Rhoda shook his head.

"It wasn't us contacting the adults, it was the adults contacting us."

“When the adult needs to descend, we will prepare a container for the adult to use.”

Chen Xin's expression was rather unpleasant.

What is a container?

"Only by stuffing a sane and cunning black cat into its body will the cat become obedient, allowing the master to descend and receive his gifts after he leaves."

Chen Xin's face grew increasingly grim.

"You thirty-six guides share just one of these cats?"

Rhoda shook his head.

“There are different levels of guides. I am a low-level guide. There are also mid-level and high-level guides. In addition, there is a guide ambassador.”

"Different levels of guides possess different levels of vessels. My black cat can only create ghost-level spirits, and its capacity to contain adult power is limited. Intermediate-level guides' cats can create ferocious-level spirits, while advanced-level guides can create blood-disaster-level spirits. As for esteemed guides..."

"I've only heard that his vessel will soon be able to create a Dark Abyss-level Netherworld. As long as he can successfully create that Netherworld and store enough life force, he can allow one-tenth of the Master's power to exist eternally in the mortal world, without being limited by time!"

At this point, Rhoda's expression turned frenzied.

"At that time, the whole world will tremble at the arrival of the great man!"

After listening to Luo Da's explanation, Chen Xin suddenly asked a question.

"What does the cat that the ambassador received look like...?"

"I've only seen it once. It was a black cat with albino fur. It was a black cat, but its fur was pure white. It looked both holy and eerie."

"..."

Chen Xin looked at the white cat strolling towards the entrance of Sanshan Village and immediately wrapped himself in Tusu wine.

Target selected, Polling Bureau headquarters, launch!
Upon receiving the order, Chen Xin vanished from the spot along with the Tusu wine.

At this point, Chen Xin no longer cared about being exposed.

Now, only those guys at the Bureau of Polling might be able to save themselves.

As for how to explain his rescue, Chen Xin had already figured it out: it would be by the hand of the underworld.

He is a messenger from the underworld, a messenger being hunted down by ghosts!
As Chen Xin was thinking this, he arrived at the conference room on the eighteenth underground floor where the Underworld and the Bureau of Investigation had previously held their meeting.

At that moment, several people were still having a meeting in the conference room.

Seeing this, Chen Xin felt relieved and immediately shouted, "A ghost!"

After shouting, he was about to rush out of the conference room.

But after running only two steps, he realized something was wrong.

The people in the meeting room completely ignored him.

Or rather, they didn't hear him speak at all.

Chen Xin suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

The candlelight mark appeared between his brows, and he saw a double image of the conference room.

Those people having the meeting were in the first layer of double images, while he... was in the second layer.

The three ever-burning lamps only have the ability to see the interlayered space and send candlelight into it; they do not have the ability to allow people to enter the interlayered space.

How he got into the mezzanine space seems... quite obvious now.

Chen Xin turned his head and saw a white cat crouching on the table.

The white cat is on the third floor, which is why he didn't notice it earlier.

Just as he looked over, the white cat jumped off the table and went up to the second floor.

She walked towards him step by step.

Its speed was exactly the same as before in Sanshan Village.

Looking into the white cat's emotionless eyes, Chen Xin understood.

Before a cat kills a mouse, it will tease the mouse, releasing it repeatedly before catching it again.

At this moment, Chen Xin was like a mouse that had been released and thought it had escaped.

In fact, Chen Xin would have escaped if it weren't for the other thirty-five cats.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

As the white cat drew closer, the candlelight mark between Chen Xin's brows disappeared once more.

At the same time, a fiery red mark appeared on the forehead of the pure white cat, whose body was completely free of any other color.

This time, however, the flame on the candlestick burned very slowly.

The white cat had traveled halfway, but its face was missing only a small area, about two centimeters in diameter, between its eyebrows. Chen Xin sighed inwardly, recalled the Candlelight Seal, and summoned Chicken Brother to his side.

When Chicken Bro stood in front of him, Chen Xin covered his body with Tusu wine again.

When Chen Xin launched himself away, in the second layer of space, Brother Chicken used the full version of [Burning Night] for the first time.

Unfortunately, the white cat was completely unaffected and emerged from the sea of ​​fire.

This time, it was on the same level as Chicken Bro and did not use the mezzanine space to block the flames.

Nevertheless, Chicken Bro's flames, powerful enough to incinerate an entire Netherworld region, failed to leave a single mark on the white cat.

The white cat that emerged from the flames looked at the spot where Chen Xin had disappeared, took a step, and vanished from the same spot as well.

In the conference room.

Among the people in the meeting, one of them unconsciously loosened his collar.

"Is the air conditioner on the 18th floor broken? It's a bit stuffy."

……

In a farmhouse courtyard, an old man with a full head of white hair was sitting on a stool next to a small table in the yard, drinking tea.

The courtyard isn't large, but it has all the elements you'd expect from a rural courtyard.

For example, the vegetable garden, farm tools, the big yellow dog, the shrine, and the old woman walking out of that shrine which was less than 20 centimeters in size.

In the blink of an eye, the old woman went from the size of a shrine to the size of a normal person.

This bizarre scene did not cause the old man to hesitate in the slightest while drinking his tea.

After the old woman came out, she sat down opposite the old man.

"The master has left."

The old woman said.

Who is coming this time?

"space."

"It's this gentleman."

The old man smiled as he looked at the palm-sized teapot in his hand. After filling his own cup with tea, he poured the same cup for the old woman opposite him.

"Does the Space Master have any instructions?"

The old man asked.

"No, it's just..."

The old woman placed her hand on the teacup and frowned.

"However, I seemed to sense a hint of... annoyance from the adult..."

After the old woman finished speaking, she shook her head and drank the tea in her cup in one gulp.

"Maybe my eyesight is failing me."

The old woman's words made the old man laugh.

"It's not that their eyesight is failing. Although the adults are in a stable mood, there is more than one adult."

After the old man finished speaking, he poured the old woman another cup of tea.

The old woman nodded.

"Perhaps, these are things we can't fathom."

After the old woman finished speaking, she looked at the teapot in the old man's hand.

"What were you thinking back then, receiving a reward from the Space Lord and then using it on this teapot?"

The old man's smile widened, and he stroked the teapot with obvious affection.

“Everyone who follows an adult has their own pursuits, and I am no exception.”

"If you can't become an adult, then you can only borrow the help of an adult and enjoy the same freedom as an adult."

As the old man spoke, he poured himself another cup of tea.

The small teapot, barely the size of a palm, had already been filled with many cups, yet the tea seemed inexhaustible.

"I don't know where the master went. In the past, the master would take me with him."

The old woman murmured.

"Hehe, if you and I could guess what the master is thinking, if the master could act according to our wishes, then he wouldn't be a master."

The old man said this as he continued to sip his tea.

……

The headquarters of the Public Opinion Research Bureau, ten floors underground, is the Town Object Research Office.

When Chen Xin arrived here, he saw not only the various talismans created by the Bureau of Investigation, but also the various ghosts and spirits imprisoned through special means.

But now, neither humans nor ghosts have been able to detect Chen Xin's arrival.

Chen Xin sighed.

Through the candlelight, he could already see the double image of this location.

This time, he wasn't on the second floor, but on the third floor.

Turning his head, he saw that the white cat had appeared behind Chen Xin at some point, at the same distance as when he left. The white cat neither approached nor moved away.

All of this seems to be saying the same thing.

No matter where Chen Xin runs, he can't shake off that white cat.

But Chen Xin did not give up. In the blink of an eye, all the Candle Night Stone Towns in the Town Research Room were activated.

One by one, translucent roosters appeared from the town of Zhuyeshi, crowing incessantly in the room.

For a moment, the researchers in the Town Object Research Lab panicked. Some were on the phone, while others had already entered the room and stuffed the Candle Night Stone Town into a specially made box.

Suddenly, all the crowing roosters disappeared one by one.

Meanwhile, the head of the research department had received news that everything was normal in the Candlestone Towns in the research labs and other areas.

While the research department staff were pondering what was going on, Chen Xin had already left the research lab and gone to another location.

The location of Yunlongtian.

At this moment, Yunlong Tian was participating in a project seminar. Since becoming the so-called "Chosen One," he had a lot more work to do.

Projects that were previously off-limits to him are now gradually being opened to him.

This felt very strange to him.

Of course, he knew why.

He reached out and touched the talisman given to him by a messenger from the underworld, which was hanging from his waist.

Just then, he suddenly saw a crow in front of Fan Yaohui's table.

The crow attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.

Before Fan Yaohui could speak, the crow opened its mouth.

“There is a god of the turbid world in another dimension of this place. He comes from the organization of divine messengers.”

After saying that, the crow disappeared.

The meeting room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in chaos.

Fan Yaohui was the first to react. He rushed to the red, fire-bell-like object at the door and punched it.

A click sounded.

A blood-red stone sphere, half a meter in diameter, fell from the top of the conference room and was suspended in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, a buzzing sound rang out from inside the ball.

At one point, the ball lit up.

The blood-red stone sphere, however, emitted a white light.

The light enveloped the entire conference room, illuminating everyone's clothes, skin, flesh, and bones, including Fan Yaohui and Yun Longtian.

At first glance, the room was filled with human figures made of lines.

Despite the intense light, the vision of everyone in the conference room remained unaffected.

And so, in this vast expanse of white, they saw two plumes of black smoke appear in a certain spot in the conference room.

The black aura was of different sizes.

The larger one didn't move, but the smaller one was gradually approaching the larger mass of black mist.

A look of horror appeared in Fan Yaohui's eyes.

"Two turbid world gods!"
