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

"What is a statue? And what are you doing?"

The old man in the mirror coffin shuddered.

What plans, what saints, none of them are more important than my own life.

Without the slightest hesitation, he replied, "The idol is a vessel of the power of the god worshipped by the Upside-Down Saints. That god is also an existence with a domain, just like you, sir."

"Once all nine statues are activated, they will turn Jiangdong City into a sacrificial site."

"At that time, that god's domain will cover the entire city first."

"Everyone in every realm will be bound by the rules, slowly becoming believers in that god, and sacrifices for the god's descent..."

Just as the old man in the mirror coffin was about to speak again, his body suddenly stiffened.

The fear vanished from his face.

Instead, there is a strange calm and devotion that makes people feel uneasy just by looking at it.

Slowly raise your head.

The old man in the mirror coffin had eyes that were originally cloudy, but now they were as still as a deep well.

Looking at Wang Yan.

There was no anger, no fear.

It was as if she was memorizing his face.

It also exuded an aura that made even Wang Yan feel somewhat fearful.

Wang Yan frowned, immediately sensing that something was wrong.

Immediately pull the trigger of your [Shockshot Hunting Rifle] and retreat quickly.

boom!

A deafening roar erupted.

But at the same moment the gunshot rang out.

The body of the "Mirror Coffin Old Man" also burst open from the inside.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere.

It was completely lifeless.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yan dispersed his domain.

The mirror coffin space shattered with a crash as the four black mirrors disappeared.

Those annoying people in the mirror also vanished without a trace in an instant.

The streets outside reappeared.

The black mirror coffin returned to its normal size and landed on the ground with a thud.

Lin Youyou rushed out of the mirror mist.

She had several wounds on her body and her face was pale, but she could still stand.

"Wang Yan, are you alright?"

Wang Yan shook his head.

"fine."

Lin Youyou looked at the pieces of flesh on the ground, then at the black mirror coffin.

"What just happened? What was that red phantom? It was terrifying. I only sensed it for a moment, and I felt like I was going to die."

Wang Yan offered no explanation.

Based on what the other party said, Wang Yan deduced...

Lin Youyou's attention was probably mostly on the person in the mirror just now.

Furthermore, since he deliberately narrowed down the area, he probably didn't see the complete "Stage of All Beings".

However, just in case, he still took out the [Lying Memory Pocket Watch].

It erased the other person's memory of seeing that red phantom.

Then Wang Yan bent down and picked up the [Mirror Coffin] from the ground.

Add to favorites directly.

[Unclaimed Grade A artifact detected: Mirror Coffin]

[Preservation conditions: Illuminate the inner wall of the mirror coffin with a steady handheld light source for 2 minutes]

I saw this simple collection condition.

Without hesitation, Wang Yan took out his phone and turned on the flash.

Two minutes later.

[The conditions for adding to favorites have been met. Do you wish to add it to favorites?]

[Successfully added to favorites.]

[Task: Collect 50 rare items (27/50)]

The notification flashed by, but Wang Yan's expression did not relax.

That power to silence someone from afar was definitely not something an ordinary calamity could accomplish.

One can break into his domain and control a calamity without being restricted by the domain.

This suggests that the person behind the scenes at least possesses a domain of influence.

And he should be even stronger than he is now.

"An SS-class calamity? This is troublesome."

Wang Yan looked up into the distance and whispered.

Lin Youyou woke up.

Seeing Wang Yan standing there in a daze, muttering something under his breath, he was somewhat puzzled.

"Wang Yan? What's the trouble?"

"Um?"

Lin Youyou's words reminded Wang Yan.

Yes.

According to the [Old Man in the Mirror Coffin], the mastermind behind the scenes needs to cover Jiangdong City with their domain before they can descend through some kind of sacrificial ritual.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find the statue mentioned by the [Mirror Coffin Old Man].

If we can prevent the enemy's arrival by destroying the idol, that would be best.

If not, then we must consider how to disrupt the sacrificial ritual.

Otherwise, if they do nothing and the mastermind behind it all comes down, no one in Jiangdong City will be able to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan looked in the direction from which the old man in the mirror coffin had come, and his speech quickened.

"Quickly, find out if there's a statue of a deity nearby."

Lin Youyou was taken aback.

"A statue?"

Wang Yan said, "We don't know the size or appearance of the statue, but there must be something strange about its surroundings."

"If we can't find it, something terrible is going to happen in Jiangdong City."

Seeing that his tone was off, Lin Youyou immediately stopped asking any further questions.

"clear."

Wang Yan raised his hand and activated the clone ability of the [Pale Sword].

One after another, pale clones emerged from beside him.

In just a few seconds, Wang Yan's clones appeared everywhere—at street corners, on rooftops, and in alleyways.

These clones immediately dispersed in the direction where the [Mirror Coffin Old Man] had just appeared.

Lin Youyou's eyelids twitched at the sight.

"You've already acquired the second wondrous artifact?"

She suddenly realized that she had been too conservative in her assessment of Wang Yan's strength.

However, the situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to ask any further questions.

He took a deep breath and summoned the [Perception Doll] to begin the search.

Ten minutes passed.

Wang Yan's clone failed to find the statue.

There were no streets, rooftops, abandoned shops, or underground parking garages.

The statue was not a strange object; its location could not be detected by the system's radar.

Wang Yan also put on the B-grade artifact he had previously obtained, the [Perception Glasses], but still came up empty-handed.

Just then, Lin Youyou's voice came through the earphone.

"Wang Yan, come over here. I think I've found it, but the situation at the scene is very complicated."

Wang Yan didn't waste any words.

"Location."

Lin Youyou immediately gave the coordinates.

Wang Yan immediately switched places with the nearest clone and rushed into an abandoned underground warehouse.

A minute later, he saw the complicated scene Lin Youyou had described.

Lin Youyou stood in front of the door, her face grim.

She pointed inside.

"See for yourself."

Wang Yan walked inside.

In the center of the warehouse, dozens of calamity-stricken corpses knelt on the ground.

They were dead, and there was no sign of any strange activity on their bodies.

Some have physical disabilities, some have crooked heads, and some have large holes in their chests.

But at this moment, they all remained in a kneeling posture.

At the very front of the kneeling corpse was a statue no bigger than a fist.

The idol has no face.

It has only a smooth head, with its hands folded in front of its chest.

"She seems to have recovered a little," Lin Youyou said as she approached.

"These corpses are alive; they can talk."

The voice just fell.

The calamity-inducing corpses all opened their mouths at the same time.

A dry sound was squeezed out of their throats.

"Faceless Lord, Nameless God, please take away our broken bodies and grant us new life."

"Those with faces are sacrifices, those without faces are the people; may all the faces in the city belong to your hands."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was very synchronized.

The neatness was frightening.

Lin Youyou's face turned even paler upon hearing this.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Wang Yan did not answer.

He had already raised his [Sound-Ringing Hunting Rifle] and fired two shots at the faceless statue.

But the instant the bullet was fired, all the calamity corpses stood up at the same time.

Wang Yan shot and blasted a whole area apart with two shots.

Grayish-black mist spewed from the blasted corpses of the calamity, drifting towards the location of the statue.

Wang Yan was about to fire a finishing shot.

The other intact corpses of the Calamity moved.

They stuck their fingers into their faces.

Then tear it apart fiercely.

One by one, their faces were torn off.

His face was torn off.

But no blood came out of the wound.

Instead, a strange gray-black mist appeared.

The gray-black mist moved very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was all poured into the faceless statue.

Then the statue trembled slightly, and a powerful force erupted from it.
