Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Upon hearing the voice of the Shepherd Terrill Stray, the magician McGeek's eyes flashed with panic and surprise. The other party's strength was even greater than he had imagined!

Incredibly, at this very last moment, he bypassed those superhumans who were causing him trouble and found himself.

Escape is impossible, and a fight won't win. The only option now is one last desperate attempt.

I'm betting that the shepherd Terrill Stray won't risk his life for the organization's mission to hunt him down!

The spiritual energy in the magic circle, which was originally flowing towards the black king chess piece in the magician's hand, suddenly changed direction and flowed into the strange mirror that served as the medium of the magic circle!

In an instant, space began to distort!

"Damn it, McGeek, you're really bold."

The voice of the Shepherd Terriel Stray was somewhat exasperated, but the gray mist rapidly contracted, and the figure that had appeared in the gray mist disappeared along with the gray mist.

Meanwhile, the spatial distortion centered on the strange mirror continued to expand. At this point, the magic circle was no longer under the control of the magician McGeek; he could no longer control it.

As expected, the shepherd Terrill Stray was frightened away and dared not be drawn into the unknown realm with him, and McGeek's plan succeeded. But McGeek himself was also in grave danger of being drawn into the realm; it was a gamble.

Just then, the group searching for the magician McGeek on the ground suddenly realized something was wrong. They immediately took off running!

However, the spatial distortion spread too quickly. It expanded rapidly as soon as it appeared, causing everyone to feel dizzy and the earth to be turned upside down.

When things calmed down, everyone discovered that Zhao Hao and the mysterious Mariana from the Bureau of Mystery were gone...

Chapter 143 The Mysterious Demon Town

After the earthquake shook the mountains and even caused space to twist and turn, Zhao Hao could no longer distinguish east from west.

When he regained consciousness, he was already in an unfamiliar place.

The battle had previously taken place a dozen miles outside the Liberty City market, on the edge of a forest, in a plain. But now, the place he was in had become a very strange wasteland.

The land was grayish-black, loose and decaying. The listless weeds on the ground huddled together in clumps, barely clinging to life, and in many places, the gray soil was exposed.

Further away, you can see one or two crooked, twisted trees. You can't tell what kind they are, but just looking at their shape is unpleasant.

The sky was gray, and although there was light, the sun was not visible, making it difficult to tell what time it was.

Zhao Hao quickly checked his condition and found he wasn't seriously injured. Xiao Ruan was still with him, and Wang Cai was in the shadows, but Ju Zuo wasn't nearby.

Damn, it runs faster than me! But it's okay, I can summon it if I really need to.

All around Zhao Hao was the still unconscious Mariana.

At the last moment, this woman grabbed Zhao Hao's belt tightly; otherwise, who knows where she would have been thrown now.

The two high-tech daggers were still lying beside her.

Zhao Hao remembered that when Marilena wielded those two daggers that could unleash trembling blade energy, she could easily tear through the enemy's armor and defenses; they were incredibly sharp.

When I picked it up and held it in my hand, there was no reaction no matter how much psionic energy I poured into it.

Just then, Marilena's voice came from behind: "Don't try it. This dagger has a fingerprint psionic lock. It can only be activated when both the fingerprint and the psionic energy match."

Damn! The researchers at the Secret Service are so stingy!

Zhao Hao turned around and smiled, "I was just curious and wanted to try it out. I had no other intentions."

Marina sat on the ground, her beautiful long hair cascading loosely over her shoulders. She hadn't expected that while she was still unconscious, Zhao Hao would go and check the two daggers first. Was her psionic energy ineffective against him?

"Let's talk about other ideas later. We're in big trouble right now! If I'm not mistaken, this should be a haunted realm..."

Zhao Hao was startled. "A ghostly realm? How did we get in?"

He still vividly remembered his previous experience in the cave in the well. He had no experience at the time and was wandering around like a headless fly, almost falling in.

Thinking back to that indescribable, unknown entity he saw in his dream, who knows what fate awaited Zhao Hao if he had been trapped in that well-like world?

No wonder he gets scared when the topic of eerie realms comes up.

Marina struggled to her feet, the intense pain causing her face to contort. Zhao Hao quickly helped her up.

Marilena's expression remained unchanged, but she was certain that Zhao Hao was not affected by her psychic powers.

She said, "How did we get in? I don't know what the rules were, but I guess the magician McGeek used the grand spectacle of the double-edged sword to forcibly activate the key to the eerie realm. It caused such a commotion that it dragged us all in..."

This guess is correct. At that time, the magician was about to complete his process of advancing to the Black King when he was found by the more cunning and powerful Shepherd of the Dead, Teril. In order to save his own life, he simply chose to "die together with the enemy." Using the magic circle and the super phenomenon of inner and outer unity, he forcibly activated the Mirror of the Demonic Mind, opening the door to the realm of the uncanny.

Even if the Shepherd of the Dead was a Bronze-level transcendent being, he wouldn't rashly get involved in an unknown and dangerous situation. So he made the decision to run away immediately.

The magician is drawn into the bizarre situation, attempting to survive. Zhao Hao and Marina, however, are less fortunate.

They weren't the closest to that underground space; in fact, they were quite far away. But space is something that a small distance can't stop.

……

The magician's creation of a unified inner and outer world was resolved a day later by the Red Gate and the extraordinary beings of the Evangelical Congregation. Both sides deployed six Bronze-level beings and brought out several powerful extraordinary artifacts, which finally separated the "stuck" inner and outer worlds a day later.

Even if they separate, it won't be without any impact.

In fact, for a long time afterward, the Free City in the surface world will be very close to the inner world, and the probability of temporary passages like the one that ran over the Butcher Beast will increase significantly.

In the Free City of the surface world, the sky was strange for more than a day. During the day, there were many oddly shaped and colorful clouds, and sometimes the light and shadow effects would create many mirages in the other world.

And at night it's even more amazing. Ordinary people can't tell what's wrong with the night sky, but many astronomy enthusiasts will find that the stars in the sky are completely different when they observe the stars!

However, thanks to explanations from experienced American experts and reports in various reality shows and newspapers, people quickly accepted that the abnormal interaction of sunspots with the atmosphere caused visual illusions...

In the words of the expert who made the explanation in private: I don't even know what I'm saying!

Zhao Hao and Marilena have gone missing. Their friends and their superior, Colt, naturally couldn't ignore it. Together, dozens of people analyzed and organized the area where the magician used to be located, trying to find out where the two had gone.

Just then, a subway train disappeared silently at midnight.

An hour later, when the staff discovered that the subway train was delayed, they were surprised to find that they could not contact the train.

After two hours of work, they finally sent people to trace the subway line and confirmed that the entire subway train had indeed disappeared underground.

According to surveillance footage, although there are very few people on the subway at midnight, each train has more than a dozen carriages, and including the driver, there are at least eighteen people.

All eighteen people disappeared on the same subway train.

Those eighteen people are a minor issue, but a whole subway train is incredibly expensive!

Although this subway train has been in operation for almost twenty years, it represents a tremendous amount of wealth. Now, that wealth has vanished!

The subway company immediately objected!

When Colt received the news of the disappearance, he was completely bewildered.

He had already foreseen that the Bureau of Mysteries would be even busier after this collaboration, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly and so intensely!

An entire subway train has vanished?

How the hell am I supposed to explain this? The most important thing is how to give the higher-ups an explanation!

America is a capitalist country, and capital is the master of this country.

To put it bluntly, even if one or two people die, it's not a big deal as long as you don't make a big fuss. But if you damage the interests of those big families and conglomerates, then things will get very serious.

For example, right now.

Colt not only couldn't give an explanation, but he also couldn't guarantee that such a thing would never happen again.

The subway had to be temporarily closed. The director of the Bureau of Mysteries, that chubby white man, personally called Colt and gave him a firm order: this matter must be resolved perfectly.

In the bizarre situation where Zhao Hao and Marilena were, a subway train suddenly rushed out from the edge of the forest, plowed a deep trench in the gray-black wilderness, and finally collapsed on the ground.

The eighteen people on the train had no idea what was happening. The train shook violently and they thought the subway had derailed.

Several people immediately fell and suffered head injuries, and one unlucky guy even broke his neck.

At this point, only one day had passed since Zhao Hao and Marilena arrived in this strange realm.

They had just finished a chase and a fight, and figured out the basic situation of this strange place, when they heard that humans had appeared outside the town.

At this moment, Zhao Hao activated the Ghost Skin Card, and with the human skin mask of Michael Max on his face, he appeared as a semi-transparent ghost with a strange mask.

Marilena, on the other hand, used a black cat-shaped pendant to transform into a catwoman with two cat ears on her head and a cat tail behind her!

The reason they disguised themselves in their current form is because the town they live in is called Heart Demon Town, where there are no humans.

Or rather, humans are like livestock and raw materials, beings hunted by all the monster inhabitants.

They had just been chased a few hours earlier and decided to disguise themselves.

It was thanks to the fact that both of them had "aliases" that they could move around here as humans, which would have made it impossible for them to move an inch.

At that moment, news emerged from the monster that humans had appeared outside the town. Many strangely shaped residents rushed over excitedly; they were their prey.

Now that they are trapped in a bizarre situation and have finally discovered the presence of humans, Zhao Hao and Marina naturally want to go and see for themselves...

Chapter 144 Monster Hunter

Oliver is a wrestler, the kind of sport where the main activity is fighting and performing on stage.

However, things haven't been going well for the past six months, and his club hasn't held any performances for a long time. His income has plummeted.

The economy is in a bad state right now, and even Oliver, a high-paid wrestler, is finding it hard to make ends meet.

To settle his various bank bills, he had to find another way out and, through a friend, found an underground wrestling venue.

These underground wrestling shows are naturally unregulated; aside from the lack of permits and licenses, they often involve some outrageous behavior.

For example, if the audience is too enthusiastic, the wrestlers will suffer. They often end up with bruises and swelling after a performance. If they're unlucky, they might even suffer serious injuries. And because of the gambling aspect, they often fix matches.

Although wrestling is already a performance, the organizers still want it to be fake and bloody, often adding some very outrageous and dangerous moves.

Life is tough, but what can we do?

Having wrestled in underground venues for three months, Oliver has managed to avoid any injuries by utilizing his robust physique, superb acting skills, and seasoned experience.

However, he also decided to quit; continuing like this would inevitably lead to serious injuries. He'd make a quick buck and then leave.

As a result, after his final performance, he boarded the subway and disappeared into the underground railway.

His extensive wrestling experience made him instinctively protect himself when the subway derailed, and then he found himself and his companions in an unfamiliar place. A place that looked very unfriendly.

A group of people on the subway, supporting each other, crawled out of the subway car, which lay sprawled in the wilderness, still shaken. They stared blankly at the desolate and cold surroundings.
