A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

Ji Zuodao's expression changed instantly.

The initial relief of completing the task instantly transformed into a distorted expression that mixed shock, heartache, anger, and a hint of bewilderment.

"Holy shit!!!"

A heart-wrenching cry, now distorted.

There was almost no hesitation.

Between "cherishing the baby" and "avoiding danger," Ji Zuodao made the choice that best suited his personality through his actions.

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, or a dog that has spotted a bone, he darted forward, his eyes fixed on the relics rolling deeper into the eerie realm, muttering curses under his breath:

"Laozi's relic! Stop! Don't run away!"

With a flash, he disappeared into that eerie realm.

Decisive and efficient, without hesitation.

Dog Master sat squatting, watching Ji Zuodao's disappearing figure.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

The breath that had been held in his chest was slowly exhaled with this one.

With a sense of relief, yet also with a deeper sense of solemnity.

"Success or failure..."

"We'll see how this tremor goes today."

Dog Lord muttered to himself, then stood up, shook his fur, and his eyes regained their firmness and sharpness.

He followed closely behind Ji Zuodao and disappeared into that strange realm.

Within this realm, the world is bizarre and the rules are distorted.

As soon as Dog entered, he sensed that omnipresent, unsettling, and sinister power.

Sure enough, it was the same as the fragment he "saw".

This place is so evil because it can bring out all the dark thoughts in your heart, the filth buried deep inside, the fears and desires you might have forgotten...

Then, it transforms into a lively, energetic, and antagonistic inner demon that has a nose and eyes and is always going against you.

Ji Zuodao's inner demon, Ji Zhengdao, has emerged.

He was nonchalant and grinning, with his arm around Ji Zuodao's shoulder, looking like long-lost twin brothers, leaving Dog Master speechless.

Qiqi's inner demons also emerged. Two identical, exquisitely beautiful little girls held hands and played happily.

As Dog watched this scene, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He was a little dazed, a little self-deprecating, and a faint trace of envy that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

"If only back then..."

"That bald monk Faming, he can treat me like this too..."

Even if it's only half...

Dog shook his head, trying to shake off the inappropriate thought in his mind.

"fart!"

"What are you thinking! That bald monk only cares about his position and his path! Inner demons? They're nothing but filth that urgently needs to be eradicated!"

He refocused his attention and looked at the field.

Ji Zuodao and Ji Zhengdao, those two rascals, have already started causing trouble.

They seem to have discovered a loophole, or rather, a characteristic, in the rules of this domain.

Using that strange currency called the resurrection coin, they exploited a bug to obtain a large amount of pure blood energy.

Then, this blood and energy are used to feed and stimulate the growth of blood-winged black mosquitoes.

The mosquito army is expanding at an alarming rate.

At first, Dogman just watched.

But soon, a question popped into his mind.

"Was that really a vulnerability?"

"Or rather, do the rules of this bizarre realm really leave such obvious and easily exploitable bugs?"

Dog-Grandpa frowned, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The supernatural is a relatively new phenomenon that has emerged in recent years.

But Dog Master has also thought about these kinds of things.

He knew that rules were the core of the bizarre, the very thing that allowed it to survive and even constituted its existence.

Just like the load-bearing walls of a house, just like the skeleton of a person.

Rules are the most fundamental, rigorous, and least likely to go wrong thing in the mysterious.

"Resurrection Coins..."

Dog Lord's brain started working wildly, countless thoughts colliding and sparks flying.

"Currency...transactions..."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration, like lightning piercing the night sky, shattered the fog in his mind!

"I see!!"

Dog's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing quickened.

"The rule of this godforsaken place is essentially trading!!"

"One coin, one resurrection."

"And those two brats kept exploiting the bug to gain extra health..."

A look of enlightenment flashed in Dog's eyes.

"That's not an extra amount due to a bug! It's most likely just change!!"

"They paid a coin in exchange for resurrection."

"The domain rules respond to the transaction, completing the resurrection."

"But the cost or resources required for this resurrection process may be far less than the value of a single coin!"

"So, what about the extra part?"

"According to the principle of fairness in transactions, shouldn't change be given?!"

"And that extra, pure blood essence is the change!!"

"These two silly kids stumbled upon the most crucial rules of this field by accident!!"

"Given the current situation, it's estimated that even the strangeness of this area hasn't revealed its rules."

Having figured this out, Dog Master's gaze changed completely when he looked at Ji Zuodao and Ji Zhengdao's busy, hamster-like behavior of storing blood and nourishing the blood-winged black mosquitoes.

I went from watching "a reckless fool" to watching "a lucky guy who hit the jackpot".

"Damn... what luck..."

Dog couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

But then, an even bolder, crazier idea, one that made his heart pound, surged up uncontrollably!

"If the core rule of this field really is trading..."

"So, can I also make a deal with it?"

A plan quickly took shape in his mind.

……

The final battle erupted suddenly and fiercely.

The bizarre entity was enraged, causing its rules to go berserk, and the entire domain resembled a boiling oil pot.

Ji Zuodao ignited himself, transforming into a blood-red demon god, and fought fiercely against the bizarre and madman.

Ji Zhengdao, Qi Qi and her inner demon, along with the other investigators, are all fighting desperately.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

And this is exactly the opportunity that Dog Master has been waiting for.

He was like the darkest shadow, moving through the chaotic battlefield.

His goal was clear—those currencies.

His movements were as fast as a ghost and incredibly precise.

Every transaction inevitably takes away one or more cold metal coins.

In the end, Ji Zuodao, in a near-mutually devastating manner, severely wounded the Weird entity, while Ji Zhengdao devoured the Weird and seized power.

Dogman began the transaction, and he soon learned the price he would have to pay.

"At the cost of this currency, and most of my cultivation..."

"exchange……"

"The inner demon connection between me and Faming, originating from my spiritual realm and entangled for hundreds of years..."

"Sever all ties completely!!"

"Transaction complete."

A cold, mechanical, emotionless, yet incredibly powerful voice rang in Dog's ears.

next second.

Doggy felt that deep within his soul, there was an invisible thread that had existed since birth, connecting him and Faming, carrying resentment, dependence, entanglement, and pain.

"Click."

A crisp sound, like glass shattering or shattering shackles.

broken.

Clean and spotless, thoroughly and completely.

An indescribable sense of ease instantly swept over Dogman's entire body.

Centuries of shackles, centuries of shadows, vanished in this moment.

From then on, he was Fa'an, Dog Master, and the utterly despicable black dog of Ji Zuodao's family.

The only thing that's no longer Faming's inner demons is...
