All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 357 Apostles
Walking down the street in the early morning, Ji Ran mentally marked several residential areas.

He visited several news stories in the mountain city that were similar to the girl's experience, even those that received little attention.

As a member of the Special Operations Department, he could directly ask Ning Yan to retrieve the files for him. He wouldn't be misled by the video; he could see the truth.

There are far too many cases like this.

Before the advent of new media, many shady stories remained hidden in obscurity. But now, through the window of video, even those filled with falsehood and pretense, one can indeed see those scoundrels more clearly.

If Ji Ran simply wanted to break through the Dao of Cause and Effect, he could have wasted 34 points. But that would be meaningless, as Causal Points are precious. If he could break through smoothly and sever the causal link, he would only need a very small number of Causal Points to reverse a tragedy.

Walking down the street, Ji Ran contacted Shuanghua Honggun, who spent his days hanging out at the martial arts arena in Jia Chen District.

Now, he's even working with Tengu MC, cleaning up the newly rented shops in Jia Chen District every day, and then going to the training grounds to practice afterward.

Rinna Hoshiyama is a woman of action; she has already sent three Level 1 Walkers to help out at the store. She has also sent a store manager who runs a supermarket in the real world, and a Level 2 Advisor.

The group's harvest on Yingzhou Immortal Island was truly abundant.

Although, due to the rules of the world, the traveler's spirituality and vital energy will be drained by the immortal island upon death, their battle equipment is all genuine treasure.

At the same time, jade gold and genetically modified seeds, as global specialties, possess a high degree of scarcity and powerful effects.

With the addition of various modified organs from the Yin-Yang Meat Shop, my little shop, which hasn't even opened for business yet, already has a huge stock of goods.

Ji Ran didn't manage it much, only requiring that the jade gold, gene seeds, and life tools all be temporarily left behind.

To modify the Kunwu Jade-Cutting Knife, I need refining materials. Jade Gold, which has been an important currency on Yingzhou Immortal Island for two thousand years, is essentially a mineral formed from the mixture of immortal energy from Jade Mountain and the earth.

Although Ji Ran was not yet sure what advantages it would bring to the weapon, there was only one reason why Ji Ran had already decided to use it to reforge Kunwu and make it into a great horizontal sword—Jade Gold, which was not affected by the immortal magic.

On the fairy island of Yingzhou, no matter how many times Xu Fu traveled back in time, the jade gold remained the same, passed down through generations.

After Zhi Ge took a taxi, Ji Ran also understood something.

The strongest in the third tier not only possess superior professional skills, but can also directly suppress the spiritual power of those below them.

However, high-level energy and items can exempt one from this suppression. If Jade Gold can achieve this effect, even without any other special properties, it's still worthwhile.

……

After finishing her conversation with Shuanghua Honggun, Ji Ran looked around at the streets and alleys brimming with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. Red lanterns hung from the branches, and the entrance to the residential area was decorated with bright red ornaments.

Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve.

Ji Ran wanted that girl, and countless others like her, to have a good New Year. Of course, to achieve this, a change was needed.

The world has changed.

The records from the Special Operations Department show that the number of pilgrims has been gradually increasing. This is related to the infiltration of the spiritual realm, as well as the increasingly extreme emotions of people in the real world.

If the Special Operations Department can use its influence to address social problems caused by injustice and unfairness, perhaps the impact can be felt in the traveler community.

With the secret service stepping into the limelight, a completely new era has begun. This era, therefore, should not be the same as before. It needs change, it needs rectification, and it needs to eliminate its ills.

If more and more people become traitors, then what society needs are orderly traitors, not madmen twisted by extreme emotions.

Back home, Ji Ran went into the study.

He opened his computer document and placed the jade pillow beside him. Before entering his dream state, he planned to write a report for the Special Operations Department.

……

Yashan Base.

A black sedan, its entire body reflecting an unusual metallic sheen, sped out of the gate.

The driver was Zha Hu, who was wearing a white shirt and a black woolen cloak.

In the back seat, Xie Yan, dressed in a sharp suit, took out a handkerchief to wipe the plastic seal of the file folder before silently opening it.

"Now, I have sent a message to the Skeleton General."

"He will send a 'life puppet' through the spirit realm. Once it arrives in the mountain city, go to the spirit realm to find the general and bring the life puppet out. This operation will be commanded by the general."

"Yes."

Zha Hu agreed.

Last night, Lu Zaiye escorted the body back to the Yashan base, and Xie Yan and the others worked through the night to confirm it. Using the Infinite Monkey's abilities, after collecting the last "button," Xie Yan discovered the truth.

Zhang Hanyu is a member of the Shenke world, or rather, a puppet. His feigned death and erasing Ren Dongcheng's traces were both for the purpose of escaping.

After the secret investigation was discovered, Zhang Han's task was to cut off all leads with his death.

Now, the puppet is Ren Dongcheng.

Wow.

As Xie Yan flipped through the files, a rare glint of excitement flickered in his eyes. The people of the Shenke Realm were making a move. When the Special Operations Department publicly revealed the existence of the Secret Department, he knew that the people of the Shenke Realm couldn't sit still. Investigating the Secret Department was something they had to do. And now, he had caught one of the [Apostles] by the nose.

【The Traveler's Pursuit Files X1043】

Pursuer: Zhang Hanyu.

One person faked their death twice using the same method.

Xie Yan frowned slightly as he looked at the subsequent explanation of Ren Dongcheng's crimes.

After a long while, Xie Yan sighed softly and put the file away.

"Fried Hu".

"Boss."

Xie Yan looked at the rushing scenery outside the window and said, "This time, only you can know the truth."

"In the Realm of Chenke, information about the [Apostles] and the [Consumption Demon] is still top secret and can only be accessed by the Lord."

"This time, as a former frontline secret agent in Qing City, you can assist and have some right to know."

Zha Hu's eyes flickered.

Xie Yan's voice continued, "Didn't you want to know before why, even though Qing City killed all the [Apostles] and burned all the [Consumption Demons], there were still Apostles hiding?"

"Now I can tell you that in Qing City that time, all the apostles were exterminated, with no one surviving."

"But there were apostles in the present world before the Qing City incident."

"They have a very deep connection with the present world. They have lived on the same land as us since ancient times. The only difference is that the apostles do not die naturally and belong to the immortal species."

“Thousands of years ago, they were expelled from the world, and only a very few remained.”

"This event is recorded in the Book of Documents, Lü Xing, as 'severing the connection between heaven and earth'."

Xie Yan paused slightly and said, "However, twenty years ago, the appearance of the Traveler reached a point where the dissipation of spiritual power and causality allowed them to find it again."

Zha Hu's gaze was low, and the faces of his teammates from twenty years ago seemed to flash before his eyes.

His knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel. "Then let's drive them away again!" he said.

"can."

Xie Yan looked out the window and didn't speak again. That's all he knew about Zha Hu.

but……

If Jia Sheng does not descend, there is nothing to offer in return.

Calamities and misfortunes come one after another, their anger seemingly endless.

Those apostles, once called "shamans," were said to be able to communicate with the gods. Could it be that simple?
Because of his ability to manipulate extreme rules like the "Infinite Monkey," he can obtain some of the information that needs to be deduced. However, the true information about the "Chenke Realm" has always been accessible only to the two marshals and the five district chiefs.

However, based on his understanding of his grandfather, Xie Yan, after witnessing the various arrangements made for the Demon Realm during the past few days of Xie Wu's rampage of cause and effect, and through the deductions of the Infinite Monkey, discovered that the existence of the Demon Realm was not, as everyone thought, a backyard for improving the traveler.

Instead, it was more like a bridgehead for waging war.

It also applies to the suppression of reality.

Xie Yan understood that this was done by the old man, but the previous suppression of the traveler was sufficient and would not restrict him, a powerful figure.

As for the Demon Realm, is a second-tier world even worthy of mention?

This is more like... a way to restrict certain unknown entities from entering the real world.

The Secret Department has always been secretly researching the Apostles, so why is it being made public by the department in charge of the Demon Realm?
The infinite monkey's extended thinking led Xie Yan to a terrifying answer.

This answer, after the actual apostles began to operate, he felt not only delighted that the rats had shown themselves, but also a strong sense of unease.

call.

Xie Yan closed his eyes, trying to stop thinking about it. If that was true, he should be focusing on quickly breaking through to the third tier! Otherwise, it would be pointless.

The car emitted a deep roar and sped up, transforming into a wild beast on the highway leading to the mountain city.
