I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Inside the ancestral hall, the black coffin was shaking violently.

It seemed to foreshadow something ominous inside.

But eventually, under the watchful eyes of the three, the shaking coffin gradually subsided.

The dark, cold power that had been surging within the coffin was now being forcibly suppressed by the array that had appeared out of thin air around the ancestral hall.

Brilliant starlight condensed from the void, transforming into solid, metal-like chains that coiled upwards, forcefully pressing the sinister evil power back into the coffin, ultimately fading into silence.

Seeing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Big Dipper Formation is still in operation... The arrangements made by Senior Ran Xingjun are indeed reliable."

The man with the sword had a deep voice, and his face beneath the armor was as solemn as iron.

"Don't relax too soon."

The one-armed man coldly replied, "Just now, when the seal was almost complete, those old geezers in the coffin suddenly became even more agitated, as if they had been stimulated by something."

I have a feeling something's not right...maybe it's related to that old devil Chen Xuanli..."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the side of the ancestral hall.

There was a side hall with its doors wide open, and the interior was dark and unpredictable.

"Besides, all the 'things' in the adjacent locked rooms have escaped, and there's still a lot of cleanup to do."

His face grew increasingly pale.

"Especially that 'traffic light,' and that 'sanitation worker'..."

The man, covered in rotting mud, had a hoarse, cracked voice; with each word he spoke, a piece of rotten mud would fall from his face.

He looked at Zheng Feng, who resembled a general wielding a sword, his dark blue eyes filled with unease: "Director Zheng, in our current state... we simply cannot handle this."

After this incident, even I, this old-timer, will have to step down to the sidelines. I must immediately request assistance from headquarters!

Wearing armor, Zheng Feng gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white. He slowly nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on the few black coffins that had once again fallen silent.

"I will send out the distress signal immediately, but it will take some time for the experts from headquarters to arrive."

He raised his head, his eyes reflecting the lingering starlight within the ancestral hall.

"Before that, we must keep the formation running and completely suppress the field anomalies within the sinkhole. We cannot allow too many of the executives inside the sinkhole to be lost."

The man with the severed arm spat out the blood and foam from his mouth, bent down to pick up the severed arm from the ground, and pressed it against the wound.

As his blood surged, a blood-red phantom seemed to appear within his body, the granulation tissue at the fracture site wriggled, and the bones snapped back together.

"I'll go out and rescue a group of people first."

He shook his newly reattached arm and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

Footsteps tread over the mess on the ground, and the figure quickly disappears into the shadows of the corridor.

...

"...A tremendous change has indeed occurred in the sinkhole."

It seems the information our Salvation Society obtained from the Ghost Market was indeed correct.

Outside the ancient town's sinkhole, the rooftops of abandoned industrial buildings are visible in the distance.

A tall, slender figure in a trench coat emerged from the shadows; it was none other than Han, a messenger from the Salvation Society.

He stood on the edge of the building, gazing at the gate of the fortress across the street.

Two cars sped out from there, chasing after a bicycle.

"Excellent, an evil entity has escaped; this is a very good start!"

A cold smile slowly crept onto his lips.

"Chen Xuanli inside the old house... This corpse-raising man who slept in the sinkhole of the ancient town during the aristocratic era is not so easily suppressed."

He will definitely grow stronger and stronger as he is eroded by the extraordinary power of the sinkhole, and will eventually break through the seal...

His smile widened, but his eyes turned cold. "When the time comes, someone like him will definitely join our Salvation Society."

His gaze was fixed intently on the direction of the fortress.

"Many of the executives who went in this time will probably be killed or injured."

If that kid surnamed Xu really is carrying some kind of evil artifact... then this sinkhole anomaly might be exacerbated because of him.

"Judging from this... he'll probably die inside too, or be corrupted and possessed by the evil artifact?"

Despite thinking this, the man in the trench coat did not leave.

He wants to see the results with his own eyes.

If that kid surnamed Xu hadn't died, and had actually walked out of the sinkhole alive...

Then he had to confirm whether the kid had any evil artifacts or devices hidden inside him.

"If that inside man could create a better opportunity for me... perhaps..."

...

After half an hour.

Xu Lindong had already brought Gu Yi and Lei Chong back to the vicinity of the ancient town square.

Fortunately, he only encountered two zombies on the way, both of which he quickly dealt with.

Even though he couldn't use the power of the zombie sequence because Gu Yi was present.

With his current energy and spirit, he can easily deal with a zombie simply by skillfully controlling the fire in the stove.

The two arrived at a safe area without any serious incident.

Along the way, Xu Lindong noticed that the fog in the direction of the ancient house behind him was subtly changing, as if some kind of change was taking place in the sinkhole area.

He guessed that perhaps the guardians inside the old house had freed up their hands and were restoring stability to the area.

This put their minds at ease.

When they arrived at the square, the incense stick Lei Chong was holding in his mouth had almost burned out, leaving only a few scalding embers.

We must get out of here immediately!

There must be humanitarian-level doctors stationed inside the outer blockade fortress!

It can alleviate his agitation of supernatural matter...

Xu Lindong urged Lei Chong on, but his gaze swept around the surroundings.

Along the way, he didn't encounter any other executives.

He saw only signs of a fight along the way, but no one in sight, which struck him as odd.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard footsteps coming from not far ahead.

Three figures emerged from the mist. One of them, upon seeing Xu Lindong, immediately called out to him:

"My hair! Xu Lindong, you're still alive! That's wonderful!"

"What bullshit! Of course I'm alive!"

Xu Lindong frowned as he looked at the figure in the mist opposite him. He knew who it was just from that catchphrase.

Ding Jian, who had walked over, gave an awkward smile: "I didn't mean anything by it. We were all in danger before, and some of us have already lost our lives."

We barely escaped and were heading towards the entrance when we heard your footsteps, so we turned back.

"You're in danger too?"

Xu Lindong was taken aback; he hadn't seen Ding Jian and the others at the traffic light area.

"Yes, we encountered an evil entity. It was one of those old-fashioned bicycles, no one was riding it, it just kept running on the road... chasing us."

A young man next to him spoke quickly.

He even sniffed around like a dog while talking, seemingly a little restless.

Xu Lindong looked at the other two people and recognized them as two executive officers of the village head system.

The one speaking should be Miao Zhuang from Jiangcheng North District, and the other is an executive officer from another city.

These two were clearly familiar with Gu Yi, and had already greeted him.

"An empty bicycle? Chasing after you?"

Gu Yi's eyes widened after hearing this. "I've really seen all sorts of weird things today."

"Yes, that bicycle is really weird..."

Another bald executive from another city said with a grim face, "At first, the bicycle wasn't going very fast, but it kept chasing us faster and faster, and we couldn't outrun it at all."

Moreover, it can pass through walls and buildings at will. If it could only go straight and not turn, we would be dead already.

"Even so, once it catches up with you, it will run you over and kill you."

"A bicycle... that could kill you?" Xu Lindong raised an eyebrow.

These extraordinary individuals possess a spirit and energy far surpassing that of ordinary people.

Even if you are hit by a car traveling at 80 miles per hour, as long as you protect your head, you will most likely only be injured and not die, let alone a bicycle.

However, if it is an evil or strange entity, it cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

Ding Jian then added, "That's right, after the bicycle hits someone, it will also fall down on its own."

The person who was hit fell to the ground... and then remained motionless.

Then soon, an old woman sweeping the floor will emerge from the mist and clean up the body...

"What? You ran into the old lady sweeping the floor too?"

Gu Yi's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

Everyone was startled at the same time, then looked at Lei Chong, whom Gu Yi was holding in his arms, especially the three incense sticks in his mouth. They immediately showed fear and made some guesses...

...
