From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 283 The Beginning of the Curse

"Is your goal the Supreme God?"

Li Chengqian gently rubbed his temples, a helpless look on his face. "What made you have such a bold idea? To take the main god as your target? How can you take the main god as your target? I'm just like you, I just want to survive in this strange world."

“Just like us, you can tell from this sentence that you distinguish yourself from us.” Chu Xuan looked at Li Chengqian deeply and said, “You are very confident, especially in this world, which is particularly obvious. If you are not lying to us and trying to kill us all, then you really can restrain Jia Yezi with just a name.”

"What's wrong with this?"

"There's a big problem. If you really have that ability, why don't you kill Jia Yezi yourself instead of going through all these troubles and making us deal with her? Don't talk about training us. In the Main God Space, there are plenty of opportunities and time to train. It won't make a difference if we do it a little longer."

"Then tell me, what is my purpose?"

"You're hiding yourself, but not from us, you're hiding yourself from the Supreme God. You don't want to stand out in front of the Supreme God, so you've pushed us to the front lines so we can 'normally' complete the story missions," Chu Xuan said. "Another piece of evidence is that this Ju-on world mission is a 20-person difficulty mission, almost a guaranteed death mission. That's why the reward points are so high. You had the ability to grab the most rewards in a short time but chose to give them up. Doesn't that explain everything?"

“You have a rich imagination,” Li Chengqian said. “I am actually a very selfless person. I received a good education from a young age and have high moral character. I like to help others and sacrifice myself for others. Moreover, I have a very strong sense of responsibility. Since I am your captain, I am responsible for each and every one of you. Wouldn’t you admire me even more if I said that?”

Chu Xuan remained calm and silent for a moment before saying, "You taught us a unique cultivation method that doesn't even exist in the Main God Space—enhancing impact power—helped us unlock our genetic locks, guided us in creating humans, and even provided backup for us in the mission space. Clearly, you're trying to build the team you envision. Admittedly, if we create such a team, our chances of survival in the Main God Space will greatly increase. However, with your strength, you don't need such a team simply to complete the missions in the Main God Space. You have other purposes."

"If you lack emotional intelligence, make up for it with IQ. Chu Xuan, has no one ever told you that silence is golden?" Li Chengqian sighed softly. "If you keep going like this, you won't live long."

"At least for now, you have no intention of killing me."

“If my killing intent can be sensed by someone of your level, I should just find a block of tofu and kill myself.” Li Chengqian shook his head. “Go back. Jia Yezi’s offensive is about to begin. They are not strong enough and need your strength.”

Chu Xuan gave him a deep look, said nothing more, and left with Arno.

Office building

Zheng Zha and the others had already tidied up their rooms. Anyway, this was a nursing home, and even if it were an office building, there were plenty of rooms available. They weren't going to live here permanently. After tidying up, they were about to return to the lobby to gather when they suddenly heard a scream.

"Zhan Lan?" Zheng Zha's expression changed, and he immediately rushed to Zhan Lan's room, only to find it empty as expected.

Zhan Lan has disappeared!
Zheng Zha's face turned ashen. He abruptly turned to look at Zhao Yingkong, who was coming out from next door, and asked, "Where's Zhan Lan?"

Zhao Ying raised an eyebrow. "I don't know."

"How could you not know? You live right next door to her!" Zheng Zha almost roared.

Zhao Yingkong's expression immediately turned cold, her sharp gaze fixed on Zheng Zha. "I am not her nanny, and her whereabouts are none of my business."

"you……"

At this moment, Zhang Jie, Lingdian, and Bawang also arrived. Seeing the two fighting like bulls, they quickly stepped forward and pulled them apart.

“Zheng Zha, calm down. Zhao Yingkong is right. This matter should have nothing to do with her.”

“But she’s right here…” Zheng Zha was about to say something more when the communicator suddenly vibrated. “Zhan Lan? Where are you? Why didn’t you tell us you left? Everyone is worried about you, Zhan Lan…”

Zheng Zha's anxious voice echoed in the corridor.

Through the communicator came Zhan Lan's sobbing voice, "I think I'm in a hotel room, but I don't know where. I'm so scared, Zheng Zha, the amulet I brought is burning..."

"Hotel room? I don't know where it is?" Zheng Zha immediately became anxious.

"What happened?" At this moment, Chu Xuan walked over with Arno. When he saw the chaotic scene, his expression changed.

"Zhan Lan is missing. They say she's in a hotel room and is being attacked by a vengeful ghost." Zhang Jie knew that Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan were now at odds and was afraid that something else might happen. Before Zheng Zha could speak, he explained the situation to Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan frowned slightly. "Is her communicator still there?"

"Yes, they are in contact with us."

"It's good that she's here. The communicator has a location tracking feature, so it's easy to find her. But she's always been here, so why is she at a hotel? Could it be a trap?"

"Chu Xuan, what the hell do you mean?" Zheng Zha was like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. Upon hearing Chu Xuan's words, he immediately jumped up.

"Alright, alright, calm down." Zhang Jie felt like he had a headache.

Where's the captain? Where did the captain go? Don't we have a captain?

Where did it go?!

"Stop arguing, Zheng Zha. You don't want anything to happen to Zhan Lan, do you? If we waste any more time here, Zhan Lan could really be in danger." Zhang Jie pulled Zheng Zha aside and then said to Chu Xuan, "Let's check where Zhan Lan is right now. We're all on the same team; we can't just stand by and watch her die, can we?"

Chu Xuan nodded, probably not wanting to argue with Zheng Zha, that troublemaker, so he took out his computer from Arno's backpack and, after some operation, confirmed Zhan Lan's location.

"It's in a hotel called the Sunshine Hotel, in a small town at the foot of the mountain, not far from here, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Zha rushed out without saying a word.

"Hey, you're being too impulsive." Zhang Jie looked at the impetuous Zheng Zha and couldn't help but call out, "I'll go with you, so we can all look out for each other."

"You guys stay here. The captain must have his reasons for choosing this place. I'll handle Zhan Lan's situation." Zheng Zha's voice came from afar.

"That kid is too reckless!" Zhang Jie said helplessly, watching Zheng Zha's disappearing figure. "But, is it really too dangerous to let him go alone?"

“I’ll go take a look too. The captain has already told us about Jia Yezi’s attack methods, and with so many spirit bullets and Zheng Zha’s strength, blocking the second and third waves of attacks shouldn’t be a problem.” Zero walked over carrying a sniper rifle and looked at Chu Xuan, saying, “I think this is a test the captain has given us. What do you think?”

Chu Xuan nodded. "You're right. He needs valuable team members."
