He started by brutally defeating the demon lady, and the passersby were terrified!

Shen!

Zhao Yunlong's face was extremely grim!

Just like the bottom of a pot.

The snake blood that was originally scattered all over the ground has now turned into a blood snake that has burrowed into Meng Yan's eyes!

"ah--"

Dark night.

A mournful cry echoed!

Meng Yan's eyes gleamed with a terrifying red light!

He grimaced for a moment, his muscles tense, veins bulging, and he stood frozen in place like a zombie, as if fighting against something.

"This, this... Director, what should we do!"

This scene nearly made Cheng Yun and Song Wei's eyes pop out two meters!

They dared not go forward!

Because this person has a terrible ailment!!

At the same time, I didn't know what to do.

"Wait a minute. Possession is a battle between two souls. If Meng Yan is successfully possessed, kill him on the spot and send him to the Lie Cemetery. I'll issue the order, and Old Chu will follow the procedures!"

Zhao Yunlong said with a stern face.

Although this kid hasn't joined their Bureau of Mysterious Cases Investigation yet, nor has he become an official special case assigner, his heroic performance today is worthy of being called a martyr.

Ultimately, it was their dereliction of duty, or their lack of experience with these rarely documented celestial demons.

I didn't know that this human-faced evil serpent could possess another body after being killed.

Let's take a look first.

Ultimately, possession is a battle between two souls. The question remains: will the human-faced evil serpent devour Meng Yan, or will Meng Yan devour the human-faced evil serpent?

If it's the former, then we must kill it without hesitation!

Zhao Yunlong secretly longed for the latter.

Because that way he could survive.

He even turned misfortune into good fortune, becoming a formidable general in the Demon Slayer Bureau!

However, he also knew that this hope was as slim as winning the lottery—almost impossible!

After all, how could a newly awakened being, who had just undergone body tempering, possibly contend with a terrifying being at the level of a Heavenly Demon?!

This is like sending an elementary school student to the global math Olympiad and competing with the world's top math geniuses, expecting them to win the championship—isn't that just wishful thinking?

"Found it. Historically, a demon slayer at the Guixu Realm was unfortunately infected by a blood snake after slaying the Human-Faced Evil Serpent. He eventually lost his mind and transformed into a snake, and was killed by a group of people... Therefore, the possession by the Human-Faced Evil Serpent is also called Death Echo!"

Chu Gang's words made the already somber atmosphere in the conference room even more somber.

The echo of death.

This feeling resonates in everyone's heart at this moment.

on site.

"I've entered, didn't expect that, did you! A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I'm still alive and well. Did you really think that I was someone you mortals could lay a finger on? This body is now mine!"

"That's great!"

"Hehehehehe—"

In Meng Yan's sea of ​​consciousness, an extremely disgusting, aged voice echoed.

It is a human-faced evil snake.

It went mad.

He's outrageous!

Yes, you came in, and you came in voluntarily.

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out, the sky darkened, and a giant tower slowly descended.

"What, what is this?!"

The suddenly grinning, human-faced evil serpent stared in terror at the descending black tower in the sky, for it felt itself being suppressed by a terrifying being, unable to move!

"Old man, this is your grave!"

In the blink of an eye, the human-faced evil serpent was already imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

[Successfully contained a forbidden sequence monster, the Human-Faced Evil Serpent.]

Meng Yan stared coldly at the other person.

He even wants to possess me!

You wish!

He had just found it extremely strange!

I've already chopped this thing into several pieces, so why isn't there a reward notification? It turns out I didn't kill it all!

What's even more amusing is that the other party actually crawled in on their own!

But what exactly does this forbidden sequence mean?

This thing didn't appear when we first subdued the ghost in the dry well.

Meng Yan looked puzzled.

That's enough.

Never mind that.

Let's see what rewards this human-faced evil serpent can yield!

[The current host can proceed with the refining process, which will take 30 minutes.]

soon.

The Demon-Suppressing Tower emitted a beam of light, and rows of golden characters appeared in front of Meng Yan.

"ah--"

As the refining process began, the human-faced evil serpent emitted a mournful cry.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! You bunch of fools from the Demon Slayer Division! Let me tell you, I am immortal! You cannot stop the course of history! Everything is about to happen! I will take my revenge on you and all your descendants!!"

At the same time, he stared directly at Meng Yan, uttering vicious words in a frenzy!

"You old bastard! I hate being threatened! Just you wait! No matter what you come from, I'll dig you out by the roots!"

Meng Yan said coldly.

Speaking of which, this monstrous snake has grown a face that looks eight-tenths like a human.

According to the Demon-Suppressing Tower, it takes ten thousand people to transform into one part of human form, and it becomes increasingly difficult as time goes on. I wonder how many people this demon has harmed. It seems that chopping it into ten pieces before refining it is too lenient. If I could control the refining process and burn it for seven days and seven nights before it dies, that would be much more satisfying!

He also discovered that the refining process took an extra thirty minutes.

There was no time option when refining the female ghost before.

Thirty minutes later.

[Successfully refined the forbidden sequence demon, the Human-Faced Evil Serpent, and obtained the demon-binding rope artifact.]

Meng Yan discovered that the disgusting human-faced evil snake had disappeared, and a rope-like structure, black in color with red lightning-like patterns, had appeared in the space of the Demon Suppression Tower.

He did know about the Immortal Binding Rope, which could be used to bind enemies, even immortals, but he didn't know how effective the Demon Binding Rope was.

Soon, a memory entered my mind.

[Demon-Binding Rope: Forged from a human-faced evil serpent (Yang), it targets Yin spirits below the Heavenly Demon Realm. At five meters, it restricts them for thirty seconds; at a thousand meters, one second. Against a single cultivator or demon, it restricts them for one second between two major realms, three seconds between one major realm, and thirty seconds between the same realm. The duration of the restriction depends on the distance and realm of the caster, as well as the realm and distance of the target.]

[Note: Those who use the Demon-Binding Rope must possess a relatively strong mental fortitude.]

It seems his digging up of the Shen family's old grave was worthwhile.

This demon-binding rope is incredibly powerful.

It can control the Yin spirits of the Heavenly Demon Realm within five meters for thirty seconds, and within a thousand meters for one second. It can control the Yin spirits of the Heavenly Demon Realm for one second against cultivators and demons, and three seconds against one major realm. It can control the Yin spirits of the same realm for a full thirty seconds.

Having this makes catching monsters much easier.

He couldn't wait to capture more demons and synthesize treasures in the Demon Suppression Tower.

As for having a strong mindset.

What does this mean?

Does that mean only those with strong willpower can use it?

For seventeen years, he has remained steadfast in his desire to awaken the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and his resolve has never wavered. No one is more determined than him!

However, they are like demons beforehand but saints afterward.

Having experienced two battles in a short period of time, he finally felt his mind clear as he breathed in his first breath of fresh air.

I'm about 60 kilometers away from home, including 20 kilometers of highway. It's almost 10 p.m. How am I supposed to get back to this ancient town all by myself?

How much would it cost to take a ride-hailing service home?

To be honest, as an orphan whose household registration is about to become his own, he has less than fifty yuan in his pocket. Although he is only in high school, he is already a veteran user in the part-time job group. His daily routine consists of trying to awaken his cheat ability and handing out flyers on the street on Saturdays and Sundays to earn money.

If his cheat ability fails to awaken today, he'll have to go to the pre-arranged location to hand out flyers tomorrow, and then go to the hospital.

Speaking of which... he remembered a sad piece of news: even if he successfully awakened, he would still have to hand out flyers.

TMD!

This fucking life!

Meng Yan couldn't help but mutter a complaint in his heart.

"Hello...you must be Meng Yan?"

Just at this time.

Meng Yan noticed that the man and woman, who were wearing black uniforms and had strange expressions, had come up in front of him.

However, for some reason, these two people seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance of two or three meters from me.

It's as if they are some kind of terrifying monster.
