I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 10 Bronze Shrine
This plot is even more outrageous than the ghost train scene in the game Myth Descends!
Even after being cleaned, am I still going to be subjected to a whip and candle set?
Lin Jiuge has such unique tastes.

A million-dollar cash check was right in front of him.

As long as Li Changgeng does as Lin Jiuge asks.

money is not a problem.

Maybe they'll even give you some extra so-called "nutrition allowance".

"Is this really how it has to be?" Li Changgeng was completely unprepared for this sudden happiness.

Although Lin Jiuge is an absolute beauty at KMS Games.

It seems rather uncivilized to start talking like this without having a deeper understanding.

"You want to resist?"

Lin Jiuge stared at Li Changgeng meaningfully.

"Fine, I'll put up with it!"

Li Changgeng swaggered into the bathroom. Anyway, it was only an hour or two. He closed his eyes, shouted a few times, and endured it. A true man can bend and stretch.

Moreover, it's all for the money. Even if it were something like this, if word got back to the people in the company, absolutely no one would believe that Lin Jiuge would be with him...

Working overtime late into the night and not showering for a week, Li Changgeng did indeed have a sour smell.

Wow...

The large floral umbrella sprayed out warm water with a fragrant, sticky aroma; it was surprisingly comforting.

As for the bathtub, let's forget about it.

Li Changgeng did not forget what Lin Jiuge said.

Wash yourself clean and wait for her.

So, is it while wearing clothes, or while taking off clothes?
Li Changgeng yawned, took a hot shower, and felt sleepy.

He dares not sleep now. What if he closes his eyes and the red countdown starts again, and he gets taken to the ghost train? He's naked now, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

Li Changgeng suddenly thought of a particular problem: if another countdown were to occur, could he bring some special "props," such as bombs or poison, to make things safer?

The red countdown may never happen again.

Another possibility is that it appears in a specific area, such as his home. Once he leaves a certain area of ​​his home, there will be no countdown, which is the so-called "boundary". Li Changgeng only has this guess.

To be honest, Li Changgeng really didn't want to go on that ghost train again. The rules of death of the skeleton grim reaper were something that his college junior, Xia Mengmeng, had accidentally broken through using the information that she was pregnant. He might have already died on the train.

To think you could defeat the Skeleton Reaper through violence is a pipe dream.

Yes, Xia Mengmeng, go to the hospital first to pay your sister's medical bills.

There should be enough time. Go back to Black Sea City University to find Xia Mengmeng and find out whether she went on that ghost train or not.

We need to figure out what's going on with this inexplicable countdown.

Next time, I might not be so lucky to come back alive from the Grim Reaper's scythe.

Who knows what might happen that's even more terrifying and horrifying?

bang bang bang...

Lin Jiuge frantically smashed the glass door of the bathroom.

"Li Changgeng, hurry up, are you done washing? A grown man dawdles like this."

Lin Jiuge sensed a special aura from Li Changgeng; to be precise, it wasn't the scent of a human.

The water in the bathroom was infused with a special elixir that could reveal the true form of Li Changgeng's aura.

Li Changgeng was the first person among all the employees of KMS Games to be mentally corrupted.

At present, Lin Jiuge only has doubts about Li Changgeng's condition.

"I'm done washing, Mr. Lin." Li Changgeng turned off the water valve, and through the rising steam, he could vaguely see the faceless man in yellow again, with dark tentacles holding up a bronze shrine engraved with his name.

This is getting weirder and weirder!

How can there be such a strange person?
To be more precise, it wasn't a person at all, but only a prototype of one.

Li Changgeng sensed that the man in yellow robes carried a mixture of boundless fear and a touch of sacred mission. His name was inscribed on the bronze shrine, and Li Changgeng dared not reach for the eerie shrine. The bronze shrine was peculiar, adorned with strangely shaped padlocks.

"Open it, open it!" These three words kept echoing in Li Changgeng's mind. The buzzing sound made him dizzy and his nose bled profusely.

bang bang bang! ! !
Lin Jiuge kicked the bathroom door hard with her foot.

"Li Changgeng, I'm warning you! Open the door right now! Don't you dare do anything lewd to the things in my bathroom! Turn off the bathroom light and open the door! Now!"

"It'll be ready soon." It was truly unbelievable. Li Changgeng washed the blood off his nose, wiped his body with a disposable bathrobe, and turned off the bathroom light. The room instantly went dark. Li Changgeng's vision blurred, and there was nothing in front of him. There was nothing there, and the yellow-robed shrine was gone.

White specks of light flickered, then red, followed by gold, then green...

It refers to the color of the flame produced by a burning candle.

The candlelight seemed to possess a special magic, making it impossible for Li Changgeng to open his eyes.

Lin Jiuge arranged the candles in their designated positions.

Li Changgeng's body appeared transparent, yet a hideous and terrifying shadow was reflected within it.

A stark white skull, a black robe, and a scythe surrounded by black, malevolent energy—it looked like a battle axe!

It's the Skeleton Reaper!
Li Changgeng must have obtained the divine seal of the Skeleton Death God.

In other words, Li Changgeng killed the powerful Skeleton Reaper? That's impossible!

Li Changgeng was just an ordinary person.

Should we report Li Changgeng's situation to the Zhanye Division?

Lin Jiuge decided to wait and see. The Night Slayers were a special night-walking organization that dealt with all the terrifying events that occurred after the eternal night, trying to make these bizarre occurrences seem reasonable.

It is safer during the day than at night now, but this is only the current situation.

The eternal night and the mist are merely appearances; the evils hidden beneath the cover of night will eventually be exposed to the world.

When the sun sets and never rises again, the whole world will be plunged into darkness and chaos, and the era of the gods will begin in earnest…

【Zhan Ye Si】is low-key and very mysterious, appearing and disappearing like a dragon.

The Night Slayers are currently facing a very difficult situation.

Rumors have it that the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits have descended upon Black Sea City.

Black Sea City is about to become a city of purgatory. With the current strength of the Night Slayer Division, it will be very difficult to deal with the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits.

When Li Changgeng woke up again, half an hour later, what came into view was not the beautiful Lin Jiuge, but the buck-toothed girl with a long donkey face and a big buck tooth in her mouth.

“After you came back from Lin Jiuge’s office, you fell asleep on your desk.”

The buck-toothed girl pressed her face close to Li Changgeng's, saying, "You smell nice."

Li Changgeng was startled by the buck-toothed girl and jumped up from his chair. His last memory was of the flickering firelight. He then lost consciousness and fainted. When he woke up again, he was fully dressed and back in his office.

Fortunately, the million-dollar check is still there.

It will be dark in two hours.

Li Changgeng couldn't worry about anything else; getting to the hospital was the priority.

Watching Li Changgeng's hurried figure, the buck-toothed girl pouted, "Damn, that's ridiculous."

The girl with buck teeth took out two small pills and swallowed them with warm water.

Li Changgeng boarded the subway to the hospital. When he arrived at the cashier's office of Heihai City Hospital, he gave his sister Li Ying's name.

"How much?" Li Changgeng thought he had misheard. The medical bills already amounted to more than 1.3 million yuan.

The toll collector in the white coat patiently explained, "Mr. Li, it's less than 1.31 million. Yesterday, Li Ying's condition worsened, and she underwent emergency medical treatment, which cost a lot of money."

Li Changgeng never expected that a million-dollar cash check wouldn't be enough to pay for his sister's medical expenses.

"You must be Li Changgeng?" The tall, thin young man had a gloomy look in his eyes, and his long bangs almost covered his eyes.

"My name is Lin Mo, and I am Li Ying's attending physician. Regarding your sister, I think we should talk about it privately."
