I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 13 The Thirteen Coffins of the Evil Spirit

"I came to find you because I wanted to ask you something very strange. I'll get straight to the point: did you take the sea train to Black Sea City? You bought a ticket for carriage number 4, which should have been a standing ticket without a specific seat number."

Looking at Xia Mengmeng's crimson vertical pupils, which were as cold as a venomous snake, Li Changgeng seriously doubted that he had come to a fake Black Sea City University or a fake Buddhist temple.

Xia Mengmeng was definitely a cheerful, cute, and talkative girl, completely different from how she is now.

Is it possible that after the red countdown number turns into a green countdown number, he returns to reality, but reality itself is still in the game, or in a dream?

It's like a dream within a dream, or a dream within a virtual game.

The entire Black Sea City University was filled with terror and eeriness.

Perhaps it was because it was getting dark and the fog was very thick.

Upon meeting Xia Mengmeng, Li Changgeng's questions about the ghost train at sea, which had been brought to him by the countdown, not only remained unanswered but also left him even more confused.

To my recollection, I haven't heard of any fire at Blacksea City University.

If what Xia Mengmeng said is true, and so many people died, with the internet and media so developed now, it's not like we wouldn't hear about it at all.

"I haven't left the school in a long time; to be precise, I haven't even stepped out of this Buddhist hall." Xia Mengmeng lit three incense sticks and prayed very devoutly. Tonight, she would face a death trial.

“I didn’t expect you to come at this time. It’s already completely dark. You should stay here; it’s not safe outside.”

"Have you heard of the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits? They are evil gods, and they are coming soon! Unfortunately, the Ten Heavenly Stems and Ten Pillars of Gods have not yet arrived. The coming of Eternal Night is directly related to the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits."

Li Changgeng's head was buzzing.

What are these thirteen coffins of evil spirits?

This is almost identical to what the chainsaw killer wearing a white wolf head mask said on the ghost train at sea, even the tone is the same.

"Mythological Administration Bureau, ever heard of it?" That's what the Saw Demon said back then.

After listening to Xia Mengmeng's words, Li Changgeng became convinced that he had indeed been taken into the game "Mythical Descent" by the red countdown numbers while he was in the room.

However, Xia Mengmeng's current mental state seems somewhat abnormal to Li Changgeng; it's too unusual.

"What is the relationship between the Ten Pillar Gods and the Mythology Administration Bureau?" In order to find out the truth, Li Changgeng could only go along with Xia Mengmeng's words, "And what is the relationship between Shang Zhang and Zhu Yong?"

"The previous chapter contains the ancient god names of the ten Heavenly Stems. Geng, one of the ten pillar gods, governs the art of thunder, the Thunder Pillar!"

"Zhu Yong is the name of an ancient deity among the ten Heavenly Stems. Wu, one of the ten pillar gods, is in charge of talismanic arts and talismanic pillars!"

Xia Mengmeng coughed dryly, her face growing increasingly grim. "They are all the Ten Pillar Gods of the Ten Heavenly Stems. Only they can completely kill the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits, as well as the evil gods. Otherwise, humanity would become sacrifices to the evil gods! I've never heard of the Mythology Administration Bureau, but there is a mysterious night-walking organization called the Night Slayer Division."

Li Changgeng has not yet completely broken free from the concepts of the Mythological Administration Bureau, the Ten Heavenly Stems, and the Ten Pillar Gods. Now, the Night Slayer Division and the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits have also emerged.

It's true that this world is crazy right now.

Has it really gotten this crazy?
Li Changgeng swallowed hard. He always felt a chill down his spine when he went to the Buddhist temple at night. "What the hell is the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits? It sounds really powerful."

Li Changgeng naturally didn't quite believe what Xia Mengmeng said, and just treated it as chatting with someone who wasn't quite mentally stable.

Otherwise, it's hard to imagine a lone man and woman, so passionately in love, just staring at each other until dawn the next day.

Xia Mengmeng's story sounds quite appealing. At least, summarizing, refining, and reprocessing the story before incorporating it into the game design would greatly benefit the overall game design.

“The Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits are the representatives of the Evil Moon God. More than half of the people who disappeared in Black Sea City were eaten by them.” Xia Mengmeng stared at the sealed west door of the Buddhist hall and heard the faint sound of chains rubbing together.

"Then what should we do? How can humans be a match for an evil god?" Li Changgeng sometimes felt that his mental state wasn't quite normal, but it seems everyone is in the same boat. Xia Mengmeng's entire personality has changed; she's become even more deranged. However, this is similar to the behavior of many people after the Eternal Night; everyone has gone mad...

Xia Mengmeng glared at Li Changgeng with resentment, as if she wanted to devour him whole. "Even ants try to survive, so shouldn't we humans resist? Did humans create gods, or did gods create humans?"

Li Changgeng was a little startled by Xia Mengmeng's expression. It was just a casual question; did she have to be so serious and frightening?

Rumble…

It appears to be a giant boulder rolling down from the mountaintop.

The sound was deafening.

The entire Buddhist hall began to shake.

A putrid, foul odor filled the air as a dark coffin descended from the sky.

A mist mixed with hurricane blew in...

earthquake?
Li Changgeng felt panicked and dizzy. The last time he heard such a sound and had this physical reaction was when an earthquake struck.

Kaka!

Boom boom boom...

One by one, the chains on the west gate of the Buddhist temple snapped, and the locks on the chains burst open, sending sparks flying.

With a loud bang, a huge hole exploded in the west gate.

"Hehe! Only babies who haven't drunk the Meng Po soup are worthy to be my puppets in the womb nightmare. Pure evil spirits are sharper than sword blades!"

The fetal nightmare was dressed in maternity clothes, her large belly bound by rusty chains. She was over three meters tall, her distorted features oozing blood, and she was extremely ugly. In her hand was a black leather whip.

"She is coming!"

"The Nightmare of the Embryo, one of the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits!"

Xia Mengmeng walked straight toward the nightmare, and with each step she took, the flames from her eyes rose and burned rhythmically in the air. "Hide behind the Buddha statue, don't come out no matter what you see, and don't make a sound."

Li Changgeng knew his own capabilities. This monster was the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits, a pregnant woman with a belly as big as an ox. If a man were to endure humiliation and live in this situation, wouldn't he be a cowardly piece of trash?
Li Changgeng hid behind the Buddha statue, not to escape, but to find a weapon.

If he had known that coming to see Xia Mengmeng would lead to such a terrifying experience, he would never have come.

I wanted to find the answer to the question, but instead I found even more questions.

Flames spread across Xia Mengmeng's body, but the flames seemed unable to harm her.

"Nightmare of the womb, you've finally arrived! Today, you'll never return." Xia Mengmeng flicked her right index finger at the Buddha statue, and a flaming longsword appeared suspended in mid-air.

"White Snake, you have a thousand years of cultivation, yet you dare not confront me head-on. You borrow another's body and soul. You really are a coward. Do you think you're safe just because you're hiding in the Buddhist hall?"

The nightmare was grinning, the corners of its mouth widening and stretching down its chin to its neck, and then to its abdomen.

With a pinch of her fingers, the chains on her stomach snapped.

"I advise you to surrender now to avoid suffering. Hand over your snake heart and gall to help me ascend to godhood!"

"Tch! You're not pretty, but you think big!" Xia Mengmeng's fire knife was burning with flames. "I'll make you the first wronged soul to die in the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits."

The abdomen of the nightmare split open, and three blood-covered, lively infant evil spirits, swinging their severed umbilical cords, jumped out of the nightmare's belly.

The nightmare stared at Li Changgeng's location and chuckled eerily, its gaping mouth letting out a whistling sound, making its laughter even more terrifying, "Children, kill this little wench for your mother!"

"There's a handsome young man over there!"

Li Changgeng was terrified and stunned. His legs felt like lead, and he was rooted to the spot, his mind going blank...
