[Side Quest: Invitation from the Spirit King: This is an invitation from the owner of the 'Ghost Shop'. You can choose to accept or reject it, but the initiative of the invitation is not yours - no matter what you choose, please be mentally prepared.]

【…】

The cold wind in the deep alley where the Ghost Shop is located makes my back feel cold, and goose bumps climb from the bottom to the whole body almost instantly. The tall man's pupils are tightly locked and his face is stiff. He stares at the paradise system information interface that quickly appears in his sight, and finally understands why the 'painter' stopped here——

There is actually a 'real mission copy' here?

——And it’s a real-life copy that’s on par with the bronze level! ?

"Tsk, what a hassle!" The man suddenly became annoyed. Although he was also a bronze-level player, it was still a bit troublesome for him to clear a D-level mission copy independently.

What's more, there is a BOSS named 'Spirit King' hiding here, whose depth is unknown but it is obvious that he is very powerful.

but...

"Before I solve the dungeon, I'll solve you first, Painter!"

After pausing and being surprised, the tall man looked at the painter who was standing still in front of him with an irritated mood and spoke in a deep voice.

He walked forward slowly again!

The roars of hyenas suddenly echoed in the cold wind!

The muscles under his tightly wrapped clothes were bulging at the same time - the 'painter' standing in front glanced back and saw a huge 'dog' shadow crawling out from under the man's clothes and even skin, like a green sprout growing and spreading from the ground!

Wang Wang Wang!

The dog's barking suddenly became more obvious.

Amid the sound of snapping, the hyena that emerged from the tall man's body lay on all fours with its head raised - a weird human face appeared on top!

The painter's face suddenly darkened when he saw this!

"'Beast Tamer'...are you really planning to fight me in this dungeon?" She spoke in a deep voice, the girl's voice slightly suppressed and echoing in the wind: "Aren't you afraid of wasting too much energy on me and dying here later!?"

She said this in a warning and dissuading manner.

"Wasting too much energy? You think too highly of yourself, 'Painter'." The man called 'Beast Tamer' grinned with disdain: "It's just a daily job - if there is no need for you, you don't deserve to join our international super power base 'House of Evolution'."

"Not to mention, you only have a pen in your hand right now, but no paper!"

He kept walking forward while talking, and although he seemed calm and composed, he was irritated inside and knew that he had to hurry.

The copy is now open.

The door of the shop in front with a signboard of "Ghost Shop" was wide open. Although there seemed to be no movement, the animal trainer was still a little frightened when he thought that it might be full of "supernatural" things.

We must hurry up!

He took a deep breath.

Facing the animal trainer, the painter was retreating. Her tattered bachelor's robe was shaking and falling, and her outstretched hand was tightly holding the tip of the brush and trembling. The pretty face of the young girl looked quite solemn.

"damn it..."

The painter couldn't help but curse.

At this moment, the wind blowing in the alley seemed to become even colder.

At this moment, the storefronts extending out of the alley also made creaking sounds as if they were shaking.

The shadows covered the place like rolling clouds, and the towering outer walls of the two high-rise buildings became an insurmountable fortress. The sudden appearance of the 'real mission copy' undoubtedly disrupted the painter's original plan. She thought to herself that she was really unlucky, and she was only one step away from finding Mr. Li Re. She didn't know that the Guilai Store was opened by Li Re, so she naturally thought that she was just unlucky.

Even though the title of 'Spirit King', the owner of Guilai Store, is very similar to the title Li Re obtained in the super power world.

But one is a dungeon boss,

Obviously supernatural.

One is a player of the park.

No matter how you think about it, it can't be the same!

Yes.

'The Painter' breathes in and out.

Facing the approaching 'tamer', and also the 'dog god' with a human head gradually approaching in front of him, he tightly grasped the paintbrush in his hand!

She has already started preparing to fight to the death.

Now that she has come to this, there is certainly no way she will give up easily!

"I am at least a bronze player..."

Just like the beast trainer said.

She is not a psychic player, but a 'daily life' player, and she relies on the props that match her profession in her hands to fight - but now she only has a 'pen' but no 'paper', and the power she can exert is greatly reduced.

However, she still planned to give it a try.

At least I'm a bronze player.

Having gone through many paradise missions, even when she was in desperate situation, she would not give up looking for a glimmer of hope!

"Inugami, eat her!"

Just then!

At the command of the 'Beast Tamer', the human-headed vicious dog that crawled out of his body let out a roar in an instant, and the human head raised up, revealing a deep gap as if the skin was torn, and the exposed gums were sharp and cold, emitting a dazzling light in the dim light!

Teeth and claws, raised at the same time at the trainer's voice, pounced forward!

The painter picked up his brush.

The disheveled figure swayed in the oncoming bloody wind and stood still, his loose shoulder-length hair fluttered up, revealing a face full of determination!

Even if it means death,

I also want to tear a piece of flesh from this guy!

This is what the painter intended.

She fled all the way, even if she failed at the last moment - she didn't want the other party to win so easily!

At this moment, the 'Beast Tamer' suddenly calmed down. Looking at the petite girl who was about to collide with the hideous figure of the 'Inugami', a trace of pity suddenly appeared on his face.

"A useless struggle."

He whispered, "What a pity! I really wanted to leave you with an intact body - but now it seems that I can only let the dog god eat you and chew your memory carefully!"

"But you should feel honored too."

"After all - next, I will use your memory to retrieve the 'Holy Pen', gain the leader's appreciation, and rise to prominence from now on! It's only a matter of time before I become the most advanced evolver in the 'House of Evolution'!"

Such sounds came with the wind.

The cold fangs are already on top of your head!

The painter picked up her brush and swung it with determination! Even though this might really be a useless last-ditch struggle... Yes, she herself knew that her actions at this moment were meaningless, and the ink that had not fallen on the paper obviously could not play any role...

suddenly!

A faint green flame emerged from the tip of the girl's pen, like a vine that suddenly sprouted and grew out of the ground - the green shadow flew up and directly wrapped around the flying dog god, wrapping it tightly in the ferocious and vicious dog's astonishment, and completely ignited it!

Woof——!?

The vicious dog let out a shrill howl and froze in place - it was clearly fire, but it seemed to be frozen in mid-air.

The painter was stunned, staring blankly at the familiar fire.

The 'beast trainer's' expression changed instantly!

He looked at the tip of the brush in the painter's hand, which had already turned into a cluster of green flames.

He also watched the fire dripping from the tip of the pen spread on the ground like ink, and in an instant it covered the ground and submerged the walls, completely transforming everything within sight into a strange sea of ​​fire.

Amid the sound of burning fire.

It seemed as if something was coming from the front.

From behind the painter...

No.

Yes--

Behind myself!

The tamer's pupils narrowed and then narrowed again. He seemed to realize something, but it was too late - the green flame had flown to his body without him knowing when, and ignited his back. The crackling sound became more and more obvious in his ears. At this moment, what he could see when he glanced sideways was a figure rising from the flames that emerged and spread from his back!

It was as if he was the Demon King who pushed open the gate of hell and walked out.

Walking out of the 'door' - a figure rising from the green fire gently placed a hand on the man's back.

[Side Quest: The Spirit King's Invitation (Completed)]

Such information appears at the same time below the line of sight.

Mission accomplished.

But the 'tamer' was not happy at all!

after all...

"I told you there would be visitors today!"

The 'person' who appeared behind him said so.

She is tall and slender, but looks like a ghost, cold and scary!

Chapter 172: House of Evolution

It took less than a second from the time the paintbrush in the 'painter's' hand began to emit flames to the time the entire alley turned into a sea of ​​fire. A moment ago, the 'tamer' had a ferocious look on his face and wanted to order the 'inugami' to bite the painter. A moment later, the 'inugami' was engulfed in flames and froze in the air as if frozen by frost. The tamer himself also froze in place - feeling the bone-chilling cold coming from his back, he couldn't help swallowing!

There is no need to look back too much, and there is no need to make any unnecessary confirmations.

At this moment, he already understood——

The so-called 'Spiritual King' is right behind him!

Fear, panic - uncontrollable emotions kept surging in his chest, and the trainer's tall body couldn't help but tremble slightly!

But he still tried to stay calm.

Standing still...When facing the supernatural, observing and finding the patterns and mechanisms of the evil spirits' actions are common sense possessed by all veteran park players, and animal trainers are naturally not lacking in this.

just,

Compared to the beast tamer.

The painter on the other side was stunned for a moment, then he exclaimed in astonishment: "Mr. Li Re?"

Who is Li Re?

This time it was the trainer's turn to be stunned.

Judging from the tone of the 'painter'...it seems like he knows the person behind him?

Then in the next second, his already solemn expression suddenly changed drastically for the third time!

His expression changed drastically as he looked at the painter who suddenly looked up at him. From the painter's gorgeous brown pupils, he saw the swaying and blooming fire behind him, and also saw the figure standing in the fire - obviously, it was not a 'ghost', but a person!

"Player?"

The animal trainer thought of an extremely incredible possibility. He suddenly felt that the painter came to the provincial capital city this time not because Qu Shenyin was here, and he did not want to use Qu Shenyin's existence to make the organization afraid to act rashly.

If you think about it carefully, the time between the painter leaving the 'world of superpowers' and returning to reality, and his defection before being severely punished by the organization for failing to hand in the 'holy pen', was very short, barely less than half a day.

Half a day was not enough for her to find out the whereabouts of Qu Shenyin.

She came here, perhaps for the person who appeared behind her... He was not a ghost but a human, but he could activate the existence of 'reality copy'!

This kind of people.

Such existence...

“Is there such thing in China?”

The trainer's mood did not improve after he reacted, but became worse. If it was just a simple "supernatural", it might be difficult to deal with it, but it was not impossible to escape.

But people are different.
