The Great Body of Hegemony, a professional instigator of dark turmoil.

Warden Zhao Xin felt like the sky had fallen.

First, four prisoners mysteriously disappeared.

Then, on the second night, Li Qing, the head of the first prison ward, also disappeared.

It was the second day at work when no one saw Li Qing, and they couldn't get through to her on the phone.

Zhao Xin ordered his men to search everywhere, but they couldn't find a trace of him.

Quickly pull up the surveillance footage and check it carefully.

It was discovered that Li Qing returned to his office in the middle of the night and never came out again.

But there was no one in the office.

The door was still locked from the inside, and there were no signs of it being picked or pried open.

The problem is that there are no security cameras in Li Qing's office.

So nobody knew what was happening in the office.

This sent a chill down Zhao Xin's spine, because there were no security cameras in his office.

To be precise, in this prison, anyone who reaches the rank of captain and has a private office...

There are no security cameras in the office.

The purpose, of course, is to protect privacy and make it easier for him to do some less-than-compliant things.

For example, Li Qing instructed Leopard and others to find an opportunity to attack Lei Gang.

Under the guise of criticism and education, Xu Bao was summoned to the office to confess in person.

Therefore, a large-scale search was launched throughout the prison that day.

However, this was of no use.

It's simply impossible to find any useful clues.

Lei Gang was very careful in his work, and he kept everything very clean from beginning to end.

After all, his current strength is still weak, and he can't withstand the various powerful weapons of this world.

Therefore, he needs to keep a low profile...

The prison was in chaos, and all the guards were on high alert.

The series of disappearances put them under a lot of pressure.

They are worried about being held accountable for this, and they are also worried that they will become the next person to disappear.

Regan, however, remained obedient and did whatever he was supposed to do all day.

While the prison guards were busy searching for clues.

In the large infusion room of the infirmary, Lei Gang sat in a corner, his eyes fixed on the television on the wall.

The television was broadcasting the news: "Our reporter is reporting live from Shuntian City in the Eastern Administrative District, where the annual film and television industry gala is being held. Stars are gathered on the red carpet; who will win the Best Actor and Best Actress awards this year?"

As he spoke, the image on the television screen changed.

The camera was focused on a long red carpet.

Those so-called big stars are walking the red carpet one by one.

Lei Gang looked at the images displayed on the television.

Security personnel lined both sides of the red carpet, while enthusiastic fans screamed and cheered.

Many people always want to break through the cordon and rush onto the red carpet to see their so-called idols.

A handsome male celebrity just walked by, causing countless female fans to scream.

They couldn't wait to break through the cordon and get up close and personal with their idols.

Watching the frenzied atmosphere on television, seeing those somewhat manic faces.

Lei Gang felt that this mortal world was too abnormal!

Next to walk the red carpet was a woman who appeared to have high cheekbones and a somewhat thin face.

More importantly, the woman had an ugly braid that looked like a pig's tail, and she was carrying a birdcage in her hand.

Is this what they call performance art in this world?

Lei Gang instinctively felt a little uncomfortable.

However, his expression remained unchanged as he continued to watch the television screen silently.

From the original owner's memories, Lei Gang learned that this world in the Dharma-ending Age was following a path primarily based on technology.

Various high-powered weapons are still quite formidable.

He felt that he needed to break through to the Immortal Third Realm and Sever the Dao to have any chance of surviving the bombardment of those powerful weapons.

So now he can only play it safe and develop his strength.

Cultivators with lower cultivation levels have no right to be reckless when facing those advanced and sophisticated weapons.

He has been checking the news on time every day for the past few days.

I just want to learn more about this world.

In his previous life, he was exceptionally talented and came from a family of cultivators. He was taken in as a disciple by a master when he was young.

He had never been involved in worldly affairs.

Now, although everything is starting over, there is a chance for a fresh start.

In the early stages, however, they could only struggle and fend for themselves in the mundane world.

Therefore, he had to try his best to understand the various rules and unspoken rules of the mortal world.

For example, the so-called film and television awards ceremonies currently being broadcast on television, Lei Gang believes, are a kind of underlying rule of systematic design.

He discovered that the entertainment industry in this world was very developed, including the film and television industry, as well as short video platforms, AI-generated TV series, and so on.

All sorts of so-called celebrities and internet personalities permeate every corner of life.

Even many business owners try their best to build their personal brand and become influential and charismatic figures online.

It's commonplace for fans of various celebrities to tear each other apart online.

Even the real-life interactions between fans of different celebrities happen every now and then.

Lei Gang felt that the rules of this world were too abnormal.

As an orphan, the original owner of this body had no choice but to give up the path of going to university.

Without education or skills, the only option left is to work on construction sites carrying bricks.

The original owner had a special physique and was very intelligent. He learned everything very quickly and became a small contractor in less than two years.

More than a year ago, he took on a relatively large project, responsible for wiring and installing electrical cabinets, switches and sockets in more than 10 high-rise buildings in a residential area, some of which are fifty or sixty stories high.

Everything was fine while I was working, but I never got paid after the job was done.

The boss's WeChat Moments are filled with lavish lifestyles, from checking in at upscale restaurants to traveling to famous tourist attractions.

He travels in luxury cars, is accompanied by beautiful women, and lives a life of unparalleled elegance.

However, when Lei Gang asked him for the project funds he had advanced, he couldn't get through to him nine times out of ten.

Sending messages on messaging apps is like throwing a stone into the sea; there's absolutely no response.

After finally getting through on the phone, the boss said, "Don't rush, brother. In a couple of days, when I have some money on hand, I'll definitely give it to you."

"I've been in this industry for so many years and I've never defaulted on a payment. Don't let my carefree demeanor fool you; I'm always out entertaining the client, the supervisor, and the relevant department heads. Otherwise, I wouldn't get paid!"

And so it was delayed again and again, until almost the New Year.

Lei Gang and his men went directly to the boss's house, declaring they wouldn't leave until they got their money.

The boss immediately changed his attitude, saying that this was trespassing and that he would call the police to deal with Lei Gang and his group.

The landlady even hurled insults at them, saying that this was malicious demand for unpaid wages.

What's even more outrageous is that the proprietress wasn't afraid of them at all.

In front of them, she washed her feet in a basin of water, and then splashed the water on Lei Gang.

The boss, meanwhile, took the opportunity to push Lei Gang while dragging a mop, trying to force him out of the house.

Lei Gang had reached his limit at that time.

He just wants his hard-earned money back, why should he suffer this humiliation?

It truly was a case of anger rising from the heart and evil thoughts taking root in the mind.

Amidst his companion's angry shouts, he grabbed the boss and gave him a brutal beating.

He broke two of the boss's ribs on the spot.

Just then, the news broadcast finished.

Lei Gang took a small stool and sat down in the sun at the entrance of the infirmary.

After sunbathing, go do whatever you need to do.

It was only when night fell and all was quiet that this happened.

Lei Gang then activated the Myriad Soul Banner and quietly entered the warden's bedroom, taking Zhao Xin inside as well.

After forcibly reading Zhao Xin's memories.

I did gain some understanding of those interest groups.

For example, the Zhao family behind Zhao Xin, and the Wang family who previously asked him for favors.

They are all deeply hidden interest groups.

More importantly, he learned from Zhao Xin's memories that the Zhao family's ancestor was also a cultivator.

Hehe, things are getting more and more interesting.

Zhao Xin is a member of the Zhao family who lacks the talent for cultivating immortality. He practices mortal martial arts, but his internal energy has improved quite a bit.

After the Myriad Souls Banner devoured and digested Zhao Xin.

The power of the Myriad Souls Banner has increased, and some of its energy has been fed back to Lei Gang.

This also increased Lei Gang's divine power slightly.

Now he was even more eager for the Wang and Zhao families to come to the prison to investigate the series of disappearances.

That way he can have more blood to eat and use to improve his strength!

As a result, whatever you wished for came true.

The Wang family arrived the morning after Zhao Xin went missing.

Some of them were significantly stronger than Zhao Xin.

Isn't this exactly the kind of cultivation resource that's been delivered right to our doorstep?
