Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

……

Saving Danny was a piece of cake, and even that hotel wasn't a big deal.

If you take some time to go there, and even give some quests to a few outstanding players who are at level 5 in Black Iron, that should be enough.

However, that Pandora's box of mourning needs to be carefully considered.

After all, that thing is backed by Leviathan, one of the seven demon gods of hell.

This matter should be left to the Bureau of Mysteries; let them handle it. The Hell God is up to no good; they can't just stand by and watch. There's no reason for them to be so proactive.

However, Zhao Hao did not expect that Leviathan was not the only one making moves now.

All other entities began to take action.

Some extraordinary organizations that had previously disappeared into obscurity have suddenly reappeared and started causing trouble.

In a Los Angeles suburb, a girl in a wheelchair opened the door to a toy house, inside which was a piece of candy.

Open the candy wrapper; it says "boss" on it.

This was the third person she sacrificed: her ruthless boss.

She was paralyzed from the waist down due to a car accident, and her biggest wish is to be able to stand up again.

The candy house sensed her strong obsession, so the two made a contract: each day, one door would be opened and a human life would be sacrificed; a total of seven doors would be opened to grant her wish.

Her boss hired her only to scam subsidies, and fired her as soon as he got the money.

Now, he is dead.

In North Dakota, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy runs wildly through the forest, with shadowy figures and rustling sounds behind him, as if something is chasing him!

The boy, in his panic, stumbled and tripped over a vine. Then, something behind him caught up with him.

The boy turned around and froze in shock. It was a monster made of bones and dry branches.

The head was a broken skull of a horse or deer, topped with menacing antlers made of withered tree branches, and the body was made up of countless bones and twigs. Tall and terrifying!

However, the monster did not harm the boy; it simply watched him quietly.

In a village near the wilderness in northern Russia, young girls began to die, and a strange symbol was left at each crime scene.

An ancient legend has been brought up once again: the black knight who would kill seven maidens before the full moon...

In a small town called Headless Valley, someone witnessed a terrifying evil spirit riding a black horse without a head, carrying a priest's head and disappearing into the night.

In an old part of London, a female tech worker was found dead with her stomach slashed open. Police investigations revealed that her heart had been removed.

In Europa, an ancient elven prince awakens from the underworld. He opens the ruins, searching for clues in the ancient texts.

He seeks the legendary Golden Legion to restore the elves' former glory!

In the vast cornfield of the farm, the scarecrow begins to move.

A mysterious water monster has appeared under the bridge in the town.

In a remote pasture, a woman gave birth to a monster with the head of a goat and the body of a human...

The wheels of fate have accelerated once again!

Chapter 494 A Distant View of the Hotel and the Absolutely No Coming

The changes in the psychic sea and the shifts in the dreams of all beings indicate that a new wave of turmoil has arrived in the world.

The surface of the psionic sea is turbulent, with waves and whirlpools of all sizes in many places; there are more than two hundred that can be directly detected.

These are all at least Iron 5-star artifacts, or extraordinary events affecting more than 500 people.

Every day, the number of ordinary people who die due to various extraordinary events and beings is probably no more than one or two thousand!

Although the dispersal across the world is not yet so obvious, the gradual convergence of the inner and outer worlds is an undeniable fact.

The barriers between the two worlds are increasingly showing signs of breaches. Many extraordinary beings have appeared in the surface world, causing considerable chaos.

This is somewhat similar to the situation that occurred in Japan before, caused by the drift of spiritual veins, the decline of national fortune, and the instability of the national protective array. However, it is not as direct and drastic.

The wave from Japan was like pouring boiling water directly over a frog's head, while the current global environment is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

Just four days ago, a huge hole with a diameter of more than three kilometers appeared on the seabed off the coast of Louisiana.

Even with the Bureau of Mysteries mobilizing all its personnel, including most of the military and intelligence agencies, and deploying psionic equipment worth over two billion dollars, it was still 38 hours after the vulnerability appeared that it was finally sealed.

At that time, countless extraordinary creatures fled to the entire Modu Bay.

There are far more extraordinary creatures in the sea than on land.

Now that psionic energy has revived, the psionic energy concentration in the surface world is not much worse than that in the inner world. When faced with the oceans of the surface world, all kinds of extraordinary creatures at the bottom of the food chain, which are numerous in number, almost swarm out!

Just like a high-pressure water pipe bursting, black iron-level extraordinary creatures gushed into the surface world.

Some of them went to the deep sea, but most of them were found in coastal waters.

It spread upstream to the Florida coast and downstream directly out to sea from Mexico Bay, reaching Brazil and the Caribbean!

There's a beach amusement park in Florida that's been completely taken over by a huge group of tiger-toothed piranhas, turning it into a buffet.

According to the secret agents in black who later handled the situation, all sixty-odd people who went to deal with it vomited. The entire beach was covered in blood, and the seabed was littered with skeletons, devoid of any flesh or blood. The death toll exceeded 300!

The entire beach was filled with eerie winds and ghostly wails.

With the arrival of over a dozen large-scale psionic suppression devices and the support of two psionic elimination teams, the black-clad agents were finally able to capture the tiger-toothed piranhas in the sea using powerful psionic spells.

Even so, it's still uncertain whether they've caught them all.

It's quite normal for ten or eight to be left behind. You never know which unlucky swimmer or surfer might run into one.

The tiger-toothed piranha's sharp teeth can easily chew through steel, and it eats at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind phantom-like droppings.

The creatures in the oceans have virtually no rivals; they eat whatever they encounter, like turtles and sharks. This has almost led to the extinction of regional species.

Meanwhile, coastal cities in Louisiana are now patrolled daily by optical cloaking helicopters, and psionic detection radars and psionic annihilation anti-aircraft guns are prepared to defend against a type of supernatural manta ray.

This fish is three to four meters long and has a wingspan of three to four meters, resembling a mutated manta ray.

They can fly in the sky, invisible to ordinary people, and they don't affect ordinary people. But they have a skill for "fishing" from high altitudes. They can lower their tails by more than ten meters to lure ordinary people with high visual acuity to pull on them.

With just one pull, the person vanished in a flash. They'd never appear again, because they'd been eaten by the fish.

There are many similar cases. It is said that a dozen or twenty species of marine supernatural creatures have invaded from Texas to North Carolina, most of which are cannibalistic. A few have caused enormous damage to the food chain or the environment.

The Bureau of Mysteries was practically running around on the edge of their seats, using various cover-ups on the news and local radio to barely get through that most difficult period and keep the supernatural underworld from being exposed.

While it's inevitable that urban legends will be passed down orally among the people, at least they won't spread on a large scale with solid evidence.

There are reasons why the general public is not allowed to know the truth.

The first concern is that it might escalate into a mass incident, with strange phenomena or objects appearing.

Moreover, once a consensus is reached, everyone's spiritual vision may improve significantly.

Low-level spiritual vision is a form of protection for ordinary people; most supernatural events will not interfere with people with low-level spiritual vision.

Of course, it's not 100% certain. For example, in the Piranha Beach incident, if you were on the beach at the time and got caught up in it, your spiritual vision would naturally be enhanced.

Furthermore, as the concentration of psionic energy in the surface world increases, everyone's spiritual vision will inevitably increase gradually, so let's try to delay it as much as possible.

Besides that, I'm worried about the Amis people's traditional craftsmanship.

Once extraordinary information spreads widely, people will inevitably take their beloved large-caliber guns to the streets in a panic, and start venting their dissatisfaction and fear by buying them for free.

At that time, the destruction caused by humans was probably far greater than that caused by these supernatural beings.

Zhao Hao doesn't care about these things.

The Mysterious Bureau is now wary of him and rarely asks for his help. Zhao Hao naturally can't afford to be unwelcome.

However, he himself did not offer any help, but many players from the game "Fantasy Westward Journey" did.

This is a large-scale event that can be considered half a country's worth of activity. Players with both the ability and time have all joined in, each displaying their unique talents.

Of course, there are also those who are of average strength and not very good at hunting extraordinary creatures, but are very good at pyramid schemes, cough! I mean, promoting invitation codes and increasing the number of downline players.

Fighting and killing is too uncivilized. Let's do something more civilized. For example, in a city where people are in turmoil, let's select some promising talents and develop them into our downstream players.

He gained a path to the extraordinary, you gained a boost in psionic energy, and Zhao Hao gained more players – a win-win-win situation!

Zhao Hao has always been generous in rewarding such outstanding shills.

Characters like the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the three recent Admirals have all performed outstandingly in this operation, becoming role models for players.

They ranked high on the leaderboard and won a lot of great rewards, which made others envious!

This is the power of role models!

……

Zhao Hao has already arrived in the north, at the Yuanchao Hotel.

Since we've already promised Mrs. Wendy to help Danny out of his troubles, we should naturally see it through to the end.

Zhao Hao came straight to the root.

Before coming, Zhao Hao called Bresta to ask for information, since the place was originally the ancestral burial ground of the Native Americans, and they must know something.

Sure enough, according to Braesta, an evil spirit appeared there more than 800 years ago, before the psychic dormancy began.

The Native Americans at that time lost three shamans and one chief before they finally sealed the evil spirit.

To ensure that evil spirits could never see the light of day again, the Native Americans established a resting place for souls here, using the spirits of their ancestors to suppress evil spirits.

As everyone knows, what happened next was that they robbed someone's ancestral grave to build a hotel; only the White bandits of Angsa could pull off something like that.

With the Native American population dwindling, they no longer care about such distant matters.

Evil spirits? That's great! Let more die! We'll dance to entertain you!

By the time Zhao Hao arrived, it was already the end of November, and the mountains were already covered in snow.

This is already in the northern part of Amy, and the hotel is built in the mountains, where heavy snow closes off the mountain for three or four months of the year.

At this point, a winter manager is needed to manage the hotel.

Danny's father used to be a teacher, but he quit his job to start writing.

I thought this place was perfect for writing, no outsiders to bother me, I could just write away, how great would that be?

But as everyone knows, writing it is a dead end.
