Global wonders have descended, and only I possess the treasure-hunting radar.

[Rare Item: The Master's Handbook]

[Capability: Records the identity, responsibilities, and unusual rule changes of personnel within a certain range. If the target is within the rule field, its current limitations and risks can be briefly observed.]

This is suitable for analysis.

Wang Yan has no shortage of combat power, but he lacks something like this that allows him to read the instruction manual in advance.

Otherwise, every time you encounter a rule-based strange object, you'll have to risk your life to try it.

[Rare Item: Boiling Stone]

[Ability: When used, it can cause the air, water, or blood in a designated area to reach a high temperature and boil.]

It leans towards offense, has a small range, but a very strong burst damage.

Wang Yan nodded. It's quite useful; he won't have to boil water for instant noodles anymore.

[Strange Item: Sensing Glasses]

[Ability: Enhances anomaly perception, allowing the detection of residual fluctuations from low-level strange objects, traces of calamity activity, and hidden auras.]

This does not completely overlap with the system radar.

Radar is used to locate the strange object.

The glasses are for seeing the marks.

It's a great tool for investigating cases.

Not bad.

[Unique Item: Light Steel Shield]

[Ability: Deploys a light steel barrier that can withstand solid impacts and some artifact fluctuations. The barrier can move with the user, but its duration is limited.]

Defense-related.

Although Wang Yan prefers offense, the more defensive measures the better.

After all, you only have one life.

[Unusual Item: Colorful Rope]

[Ability: Can split into multiple strong, colorful ropes to bind, pull, or assist in moving targets.]

A strange, auxiliary object.

In some situations, it can actually play a good role.

Of course, in addition to these strange items, Wang Yan also found a lot of medicines, materials, special mineral powders, and some derivative products of these strange items.

He searched around the forum and roughly figured out its purpose.

Some can stabilize the pollution of strange objects.

Some can boost physical strength in a short period of time.

They're quite valuable to other people.

For Wang Yan, it was of limited use.

He plans to find a suitable way to sell it.

Exchange it for money if you can.

It would be even better if we could exchange it for rare items.

Wang Yan shut down the forum and comfortably leaned back on the bed.

This trip to Qingfeng Mountain has significantly increased my progress on the collection quest, and I even obtained my first S-grade rare item.

It was definitely worth the trip.

I just don't know when the next event like this will be.

Exhausted after a long day, Wang Yan closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

the other side.

The underground of the abandoned church in the west of the city.

In the cold, gloomy hall, eight auras of calamity gathered together.

Leading them was none other than the "Upside-Down Saint," who had previously escaped from Wang Yan's clutches.

Two figures stood beside him.

One is the Black Robe Calamity.

The other is the calamity of the eyeball.

On the other side were five beings exuding immense pressure.

At this moment, the [Upside-Down Saint] spoke with a smile on his lips.

"Welcome everyone to the Jiangdong City renovation project. Let's get to know each other first."

"I am the [Upside-Down Saint], an A-rank calamity, with abilities leaning towards support and relatively weak offensive power. I am the executor of this plan."

As he spoke, the "Upside-Down Saint" pointed to the Black-Robed Calamity and the Eyeball Calamity to the side.

"This is the [Ghost], an A-rank calamity. Its abilities lean towards concealment and teleportation, allowing it to move through shadows."

"This is the [Hundred Eyes], an A-level calamity. Its abilities are biased towards detection and monitoring, and it is our source of information."

After saying this, the "Upside-Down Saint" looked at the five Calamities opposite him, indicating that they could begin to introduce themselves.

A being resembling a thin child, carrying a white bone flute, spoke first.

It was one of the two A-level calamities contacted by the Black Robe Calamity.

"I am the Bone Flute Child, an A-rank Calamity. My abilities lean towards control; I can use the bone flute in my hand to control those who hear my voice or the Calamities that follow."

Another A-rank Calamity, with a bloated body and dragging a rusty butcher's knife, spoke in a simple and honest tone.

"I'm the [Meat Mountain Butcher]. My abilities are simple: I can tank, I can hack and slash, and my wounds heal extremely quickly. That's it!"

The remaining three are all S-rank Calamities.

The first one is named "Mirror Coffin Old Man".

It was holding a black mirror coffin standing upright, its face hidden in the shadow of the coffin.

Its ability is to seal off an area with a mirror coffin, and it can also briefly reveal a stand in the mirror.

The second one is named "Faceless Judge".

It wore a black and white official robe, had no facial features, and held a red pen in its hand.

It is one of the saints sent by the god believed by the Hanged Saints, and its ability is to judge the sins of its targets.

If convicted, the target will be injured.

The third one, named "Blood-Clad Nun," is also a saint sent by the god believed by the "Upside-Down Saints."

She wore a long robe soaked in blood, her hands clasped together, and a faceless statue around her neck.

Her ability is to heal calamities with blood chains and transfer the damage to the target.

After getting to know each other a bit.

The Upside-Down Saint continued speaking.

"The goal of the plan is very simple."

"Three days later, Jiangdong City will be transformed into a city belonging only to calamity."

[The Butcher of Meat] grinned.

"Kill all of humanity? That's something I'm good at!"

The Upside-Down Saint glanced at it.

"Kill those who wield weapons first, then destroy the Jiangdong Administration Bureau."

"Ordinary humans pose no threat to us and will become our food; there's no need to rush to kill them all."

The Bone Flute Child seemed quite interested in consuming humans, licking his bone flute.

"Yes, yes, yes! Just like the concept of sustainable development that humans talk about, we need to take good care of them."

"But why choose Jiangdong? Why not Qingshan City where I live?"

Upon hearing this, the Upside-Down Saint remained expressionless, as if he had anticipated this question.

"Because compared to Qingshan City, Jiangdong City is weaker! After the Jue Ming Peak incident, all Class A weapon handlers in Jiangdong City died."

"Right now, the highest-ranking ones are only a few B-level."

"And in your city of Qingshan, as far as I know, there are a total of four A-level weapon wielder squads."

Upon hearing this explanation, the S-rank calamity, the "Mirror Coffin Elder," revealed its face.

And it emitted an aged voice.

"What about support from nearby cities or the headquarters of the administration? How do you plan to respond?"

"Although Jiangdong City is not capable, the overall strength of humanity is not weak. If you don't have a reasonable solution, I'll leave immediately."

The Upside-Down Saint laughed.

"Of course, my God had already considered this. The goal of this plan is also what He expected. So when we start our operation, someone will hold back the humans who are coming to support us."

"Besides, with the three of you S-ranks here, unless an S-rank weapon wielder suddenly appears, what do we have to fear?"

"In addition, I have instructed [Hundred Eyes] to contact the calamities of Jiangdong City as much as possible, and they will act together when the operation begins."

"Although most of them are just underlings, that's enough to distribute the pressure."

"Of course, if you're still not comfortable with this, we have this too."

As he spoke, he took out nine miniature faceless statues.

As soon as the statue appeared, a powerful aura immediately filled the underground hall.

All attention was immediately drawn to the calamities.

The mirror coffin behind the old man trembled slightly.

The doubt on his face vanished instantly.

The faceless judge and the blood-clad nun both knelt on one knee and shouted.

"Greetings to my God."

As for the other Class A calamities, they don't even have the right to speak.

That aura was too strong.

Seal their throats so they can't even make a sound.

The calamities all fell silent.

【Upside-down Saints】Put away the faceless statue.

The sound then reappeared in the underground hall.

[The Butcher of Meat] asked in a low voice, "What was that just now?"

Upon hearing this, the Upside-Down Saint's eyes lit up with fanaticism.

"These are vessels given to me by my God, which can hold a portion of my God's power."

"And my god is the supreme SS-class calamity, an existence possessing a domain!"

Upon hearing this, all the A-level calamities gasped in shock.

SS-level calamity.

field.

When these two words are put together, they truly seem like divine beings to them.

The Upside-Down Saint continued, "The plan will officially begin in three days. During these three days, you must place the nine statues in the designated locations."

"Then, using the lower calamities as fuel, I will guide the power of my god to descend."

"At that time, Jiangdong City will be covered by my divine domain, and all weapon wielders within the domain will be suppressed."

"Your mission afterward is simple: kill all the weapon wielders within the territory, destroy the Jiangdong Administration Bureau, and welcome the arrival of my god!!!"

Upon hearing this, all the calamities became excited.

In their view, there was no possibility that the plan would fail.

The Upside-Down Saints, seeing that morale was high enough, let them leave.

"Conserve your energy and start the operation tomorrow."

Soon, only the [Upside-Down Saint], the [Faceless Judge], and the [Blood-Clad Nun] remained in the hall.

Only when there were no outsiders present did the Hanged Saint speak.

"There is another problem in Jiangdong City that requires your help."

The Faceless Judge turned his head and uttered only one word.

"explain."

The Hanging Saints replied with a solemn expression.

"A human being who is suspected of possessing two A-grade artifacts and is extremely powerful."

"He crushed me and Pale Mask, and even obtained Pale Mask's B-grade artifact."

The nun in blood-red clothes sounded somewhat surprised.

"A human being, simultaneously possessing two Grade A artifacts?"

"interesting."

They were genuinely surprised that such a genius existed in this small city of Jiangdong.

Able to master two A-grade rare items.

But they were not afraid.

Because for them, as long as it's not a human wielder who possesses an S-class artifact, it's acceptable.

The threat to them is negligible.

Moreover, there are two saints here.

They were confident they could deal with Wang Yan.

The Blood-Clad Nun said softly, "Hand that person over to us. God sent us here to resolve this unexpected situation."

The Upside-Down Saint nodded, a great weight lifted from his heart.
