Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

In the crowd, Hong Jun hid in a safe place, quietly watching the villagers being killed by the undead, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

Although he didn't know why the spirits that usually appeared at night were now lurking during the day, he was only concerned about his own safety.

Suddenly, a faint rumble of thunder sounded, so faint that it seemed only he could hear it; no one else could hear it at all.

In an instant, a figure appeared before his eyes, and the next second, he felt a sharp pain in his throat and abdomen, and blood flowed uncontrollably from his mouth.

Hong Jun's pupils contracted, and he stared in shock at the figure in front of him. Then he stiffly lowered his head and looked at the hand that had pierced his abdomen in a daze, with scarlet blood flowing out of the hole.

He tried to shout, but the words wouldn't come out, as if his vocal cords had been destroyed.

Looking at Hong Jun's blank and fearful expression, Mo Xie curled up a cold smile, her eyes full of sarcasm and disdain, and leaned close to his ear, speaking coldly.

"You don't need to think about why I killed you. Go to hell and repent with this question in mind."

Then, he slowly pulled out his bloodied hand and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Hong Jun, on the other hand, completely lost his strength and fell straight to the ground, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes still open!

Because he was hiding at the back of the group, and because Mo Xie had cast a mind-based spell, no one noticed that an extra person had died, nor did they discover who the murderer was.

Even if someone later discovers Hong Jun's death, looking at the wound on his abdomen, they would definitely think that he was killed by a ghost, so how could they suspect that it was done by someone?

After Fang Gu was killed by Mo Xie, the undead naturally disappeared. In addition, Mo Fan and the others remained vigilant at all times. Only a few villagers died at the beginning, and there were no further casualties.

Once the crisis was over, everyone looked shaken, shocked as to why the undead had suddenly attacked them.

Mo Xie told Xie Sang to organize the villagers to rest on the spot, then turned around and pulled Zhang Xiaohou away into the distance. Mo Fan and He Yu followed closely behind.

After walking a little further away, he fixed his gaze on Zhang Xiaohou and said.

“Xiao Hou, stop pretending. I’ve already taken care of the Black Vatican members hiding in Huacun. Now tell me what happened.”

Upon hearing this, the others' expressions changed, and they all looked at Zhang Xiaohou in astonishment.

Zhang Xiaohou, who had been looking blank, paused for a moment, a helpless smile appearing on his face, and said.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Brother Xie. I was indeed pretending to be stupid."

"Xiao Hou, you're alright! You scared me to death!"

He Yuqiao was somewhat moved, and she hugged Zhang Xiaohou tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoluo lowered her eyes and felt a sense of loss, but she knew that He Yu was Zhang Xiaohou's real girlfriend.

Zhang Xiaohou comforted He Yu, then looked up at Mo Xie and the other two, unable to control his emotions, and said in a slightly choked voice.

"Brother Xie, the moment you appeared in Huacun, I almost couldn't hide anymore. I really didn't expect you all to come, really..."

"Nonsense, we're good brothers, how could we just stand by and watch someone die? We want to see them alive or dead!"

Mo Fan patted Zhang Xiaohou on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaohou nodded, composed himself, cleared his thoughts, and slowly explained.

"That night, we were chased by the axe-wielding corpses. The others were either hacked to death or fell into the suddenly appearing Abyss of Fiends. I could have escaped directly, but near the Abyss of Fiends... people from the Black Church appeared!"

"I never expected that the Black Church would appear on this night of one unexpected event after another, especially around the Abyss of Evil. I wanted to see what was going on, but I was discovered. They outnumbered me, so I had no choice but to run away frantically, sustaining serious injuries in the process..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie understood immediately. He had given Zhang Xiaohou quite a few magical tools and improved his strength, so logically he shouldn't be unable to deal with the Axe Corpse General. If there was an attack from the Black Church, then it would make sense.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohou looked at Su Xiaoluo gratefully and said with a smile, "I don't know how I escaped to Huacun. I was very, very badly injured at the time, and I was on the verge of death. Fortunately, Xiaoluo saved me, and that's how I survived."

"I did lose my memory for a period of time because I suffered a severe head injury at that time. I only slowly recovered after Xiao Luo treated my injuries."

Hearing these words, Su Xiaoluo's pretty face flushed slightly, and she became embarrassed.

Zhang Xiaohou was pinched on the waist by He Yu, and seeing her unfriendly gaze, he returned to the main topic.

"I admit that I've been faking amnesia, even pretending to be unintelligent, for one purpose only... to protect myself!"

"Because I was nearly poisoned to death during my recovery, I realized that there were accomplices of the Black Vatican in China who wanted to kill me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a wave of fear washed over them, their eyes revealing a hint of terror.

The one who reacted the most was Su Xiaoluo. She was personally responsible for Zhang Xiaohou's daily medication, and it was terrifying that she was poisoned without her noticing!

"This...I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't notice at all..."

"You don't need to apologize. This is not your fault at all. It's the Black Vatican that's so vicious."

Zhang Xiaohou shook his head at Su Xiaoluo, understanding that it wasn't her fault.

"Those beasts from the Black Vatican!"

Xu Zhaoting clenched his fists, his body trembled slightly, his eyes were full of anger, and he said through gritted teeth.

"So I continued to pretend to have amnesia, because if the Black Vatican found out that I had seen them in the Abyss of Evil, they would definitely send someone to get rid of me. So in order to protect myself, I had to make myself into an idiot."

“I’ve been looking for that Black Vatican infiltrator, but I didn’t expect you to come. I dare not expose myself. If I show even the slightest sign of having memories, this person will immediately notify the Black Vatican’s higher-ups, and then we will all be silenced!”

"Brother Xie, you said you've already taken down that Black Vatican member, is that true?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their curious gaze to Mo Xie.

Mo Xie nodded and told the truth.

"Yes, that Hong Jun was from the Black Vatican. I've already killed him, otherwise I wouldn't be here looking for you."

"Hong Jun?!"

Su Xiaoluo was shocked. She hadn't expected Hong Jun to join such an evil organization. People's hearts are truly unpredictable.

Mo Xie looked at Zhang Xiaohou, narrowed her eyes, and asked in a heavy tone.

"Xiao Hou, I know you've been given the amnesia worm, but I still want to ask you, do you remember anything you learned that night, or any names you heard?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohou fell into deep thought, but the next second his expression turned extremely painful. He was covered in cold sweat, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his veins seemed to be about to burst from his skin.

"Young...Young Marquis..."

Seeing Zhang Xiaohou in such agony, everyone's hearts ached, and they couldn't help but speak out in concern.

Mo Xie remained silent, simply watching Zhang Xiaohou intently, looking ready to strike at any moment.

Finally, Zhang Xiaohou, in great pain, seemed to have found a clue. His bloodshot eyes widened, he gritted his teeth, and roared out a name.

"Nine...Nine Infants!!!" (End of Chapter)
