I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Chapter 104, Section 103: Pleasing the Ghost Commander? (Bonus Chapter for Fourth Monthly Tickets)

Houtu Niangniang seemed unconcerned about Xu Lindong's probing, simply replying, "To resolve the killing patterns of evil spirits, we must first understand the source of their power in order to analyze the patterns."

"So, do you know what evil entities are?"

Xu Lindong replied, "Evil objects generally refer to powerful evil gods, demons, or items formed from strong resentment in the sinkhole."

They generally contain extremely terrible negative power, which is both powerful and dangerous, and is usually accompanied by a curse.

To use such an evil object, one must first suppress it or perform a special ritual, otherwise it is easy to suffer a backlash.

When you're out in the open, if you encounter an evil entity that hasn't been suppressed, you'll be trapped in the field of its negative energy.

"That's right, but there's one thing you missed."

Houtu Niangniang continued, "Besides evil spirits, there are also divine spirits and supernatural beings."

"Mythical objects are items that come from the former gods, immortals, or reflections and remnants of deities from other realms."

These items typically contain powerful positive divine energy, which can aid in cultivation, defense, or purification; however, their use comes with numerous limitations and costs.

"Supernatural objects originate from the spirituality accumulated in nature or civilization, and are naturally formed items."

The specific effects depend on the user's compatibility and require specific conditions to activate; sometimes, side effects may also occur.

""

Xu Lindong was somewhat puzzled.

Why did the other person suddenly bring up two other items?

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the Goddess Houtu came again: "Once divine and supernatural objects are infected by the power of the sinkhole, they will also become evil objects."

This is the impact of the "changes in the world".

"A dramatic shift in the world?"

Xu Lindong was taken aback. "Even divine and supernatural objects—can turn into evil ones?"

He suddenly realized: "Does Your Majesty mean that the car with hazard lights was originally a divine or supernatural object transformed?"

What exactly was this "world-shaking upheaval"?

Houtu Niangniang was very patient and explained, "The invasion of the sinkhole was itself a change in the world, and this power came from evil gods from other worlds."

"This matter has both advantages and disadvantages."

The benefit is that the power of the evil god in the sinkhole will stimulate the local dormant deities, causing them to begin reflecting their own power and gradually awaken.

"The downside is that the power of evil gods can also corrupt this place, turning some divine or supernatural objects into evil ones."

.

"Because the fundamental purpose of the invasion by the evil gods is to devour our native gods."

Some weaker gods from the outer realms have already been devoured; their already incomplete sequences are now even more fragmented.

"If even the gods are like this, then the divine beings formed from the reflection of their power are naturally even less likely to escape it."

"So that's how it is—"

Xu Lindong suddenly felt that some things he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear: "Behind the sinkhole is an evil god from another world, and the evil god's target is our native god."

Although he had learned in his university textbooks that the sinkhole invasion was caused by an evil god inside.

But the textbook doesn't explain in detail what the evil god's main motivation is—whether it's for the world's resources, living beings, territory, or something else.

Only now, after hearing what Houtu Niangniang said, did he understand that the evil gods were actually eyeing the power of the righteous gods and deities.

However, he still couldn't quite understand it.

Why are the gods here still asleep?

What are they waiting for?

He was about to ask this question when Houtu Niangniang spoke first: "The knife you locked in the tower, and that chariot, originally came from the same authentic divine object, which was a reflection of the power of an authentic ghost general."

Later, that magical object shattered under the impact of the evil god's power.

The Ghost General's power was transformed into evil energy, which spread and infiltrated different objects, turning them into various evil and strange components.

But ultimately, their power comes from the same source.

Xu Lindong immediately grasped the key point: "So, the killing patterns of cars with hazard lights and straight-edged razors are the same?"

"No. Different items lead to different patterns of murder."

Houtu Niangniang said calmly, "But the rules for deciphering them are the same."

Xu Lindong pressed further, "What pattern?"

Empress Houtu, "Their power comes from the Ghost General, therefore you must please him!"

"What?"

Xu Lindong was completely dumbfounded, and the more he asked, the more confused he became.

How is he going to please the Ghost Commander?

He didn't even know which corner the Ghost General was sleeping in.

Moreover, I had no prior knowledge in this area.

He is usually upright and unyielding, and rarely flatters or tries to please anyone.

How can this be considered empty flattery?

"Your Majesty, could you please be more direct?"

Xu Lindong asked another question.

However, no further sound came from the top of the tower.

Houtu Niangniang seemed to have said enough and was too lazy to pay any more attention to him.

Xu Lindong couldn't help but let his mind wander.

He had never met the Ghost General, but he frequently encountered the First-Rank Empress Houtu.

Although compared to the true underworld ghost masters, the existence of Sequence One is not enough, just as the Kitchen God cannot be compared to the Kitchen God.

Undoubtedly, Sequence One is the closest to being a god or deity.

Is the Goddess Houtu asking him to please her?

"What a load of nonsense."

Xu Lindong didn't want to think about it anymore.

Even if what Houtu Niangniang said is true, it would be difficult for someone as proud and unyielding as him to please others.

He immediately exited the Tower of Babel, returned to reality, took out the recorder, and began reporting Lu Qian's location and current situation.

Saving lives is the priority; there can be no further delay!

Shortly after the news spread, his extraordinary cell phone vibrated.

"So fast?"

Xu Lindong picked up his phone and glanced at it.

It was an unfamiliar number.

The person who can directly make a call to this specially made phone must be someone from within the Department of the Supernatural.

And the fact that you were able to get his number so quickly suggests he must be a leader.

Without hesitation, he answered the call immediately.

A crisp, clear female voice came through the receiver: "Xu Lindong? You've found Lu Qian's location?"

"Yes, I've already sent the approximate location to the dashcam. May I ask who you are?"

"I am Long Ling, the Director of the Western District Division."

"So it's Chief Long!"

Xu Lindong was filled with awe.

He had heard of the female director's reputation for beauty, but he was unaware of her specific strength and career path.

The female voice on the other end continued, "Right now, Director Zheng is unavailable, and Director Cai and Lu Qian are trapped in that car with its hazard lights flashing."

I'm heading in that direction and need your help.

She paused for a moment, then asked, "You should have already advanced to Rank Nine, right?"

"Yes, I have become a door god." But what help can this evil creature possibly provide?

I heard from the captain earlier that my actions seemed a bit rash, but luckily, the Kitchen God intervened.

Xu Lindong spoke cautiously.

This is not an excuse, but rather a matter of personal safety.

After all, the other party was a superior, and he had to cooperate according to procedure.

Secondly, this matter also concerns the safety of Lu Qian, the team leader.

However, he also needed a clear solution; he absolutely did not want to experience what happened in Yuanheng again.

Long Ling said, "Don't worry, your strength isn't enough yet, I won't let you take any risks easily. The main thing is that I need you to help me confirm the exact location."

You should know that once an evil domain is formed, the location of that area becomes very vague.

Once inside, unless one uses extraordinary power to forcibly suppress the evil domain, they won't even be able to distinguish between east, west, south, and north.

The location you provided is only a general area; it's impossible to pinpoint the exact location of the car with its hazard lights flashing.

And you can use the threads of your mind to pinpoint Lu Qian's exact location —

"I understand." Xu Lindong nodded.

This means asking him to lead the way and point out directions, not asking him to directly confront cars with hazard lights flashing, which he doesn't have the ability to do anyway.

Long Ling continued, "Okay, then you start moving towards the direction of the car with the hazard lights on. We'll meet up on the outskirts of the Evil Domain."

"Wait, Chief Long."

"Is there anything else?"

Xu Lindong asked, "I heard Captain Lu say that only by using supernatural power to suppress that car can everyone be taken away."

"Excuse me, Director Long, what rank are you currently in?"

"Sequence Seven: The Impermanent Ghost Official"

Long Ling replied, "I still have a Sequence Seven supernatural artifact. Do you think that's enough?"

The ghost officials are divided into two paths: the Impermanent Ghost Official and the Underworld Ghost Official. The former is good at fighting, while the latter is good at controlling the field and commanding underworld soldiers.

Xu Lindong thought about it carefully and concluded that the Zeiss man was most likely also a Sequence 7.

This Director Long is carrying a supernatural object of the same category.

Although the information states that the Double Flash Car is a Sequence Six Evil Object, the combined supernatural power of the group should be enough to suppress it.

"Any more questions?" Long Ling asked. "If not, let's set off as soon as possible."

"good!"

Xu Lindong immediately stood up, shouldered his shield and scythe, mounted his superb motorcycle, and locked onto Lu Qian's location.

boom!!

The extraordinary motorcycle sped through the fog field like lightning, showing no fear of zombies or wandering spirits, except for evil creatures.

Therefore, in less than twenty minutes, he had already rushed to the outer edge of the evil domain where the car with flashing lights was hidden.

This is an old street in an ancient town shrouded in thick fog, not far from the ancestral hall and sinkhole of the ancient town.

As soon as he entered the neighborhood, Xu Lindong instinctively sensed a powerful evil force brewing deep within it.

The deeper part is the territory of the evil realm.

"despair!"

He braked the superbike, his black combat boots slamming on the ground.

The eye of the gate!

A ring of golden-red extraordinary power exploded from the soles of his feet, spreading outwards in a circular pattern.

Within a 300-meter radius, he could clearly sense any place with a doorway.

At this moment, each door seemed to become his eyes, like sentinels guarding his vision, allowing him to see the general situation around him.

total darkness.

It was still a deep black shrouded in mist.

The further away you go, the darker it becomes.

After exceeding two hundred meters, the power he had spread out began to dissipate rapidly.

Clearly, that was already the realm of evil.

Xu Lindong did not see any trace of the car with its hazard lights flashing.

This means the car is still deeper inside.

Just then, the gate more than 200 meters away suddenly lost contact.

Immediately afterwards, the one more than 100 meters away also disappeared instantly.

His "gateway" is rapidly disappearing...
