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

Chapter 359 The Stolen Timeline

drop!
Sitting in the car, Xie Yan suddenly glanced at his phone. There, he saw a document sent by Ji Ran.

Upon opening it, Xie Yan raised an eyebrow. It was about the relationship between social justice, public sentiment, and travelers.

The content deals with social phenomena where good deeds are punished and bad deeds are punished, which anyone can see through today's new media.

But Ji Ran's final idea carried the sharp edge of Luan Ke's vision—[Extra-legal punishment, scraping the bone to remove poison].

He wanted the Special Operations Department to take the lead in seriously dealing with those malicious but not illegal acts.

Only in this way can the amplified emotions of new media be tempered and have a positive effect on the participants.

“Baseness should not be the passport of the base, nor should nobility be the epitaph of the noble.”

"If the reason why travelers are not allowed to interfere in the world is to protect the weak and put power in a cage, then if the rules of the world cannot protect the weak in the same way, the cage is just an empty shell."

Xie Yan looked at the last sentence quietly, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Ren Dongcheng's case.

……

Bang!
At that moment, the lord of the skeleton sat in the car, turned his head and immediately asked, "Lord, is it settled?"

"No."

The Skeleton General shook his head and said, "The other side isn't stupid. They guessed that we could find this place and let Ren Dongcheng leave."

"What remains here is a portion of the apostle's spiritual body left behind by his spirit pet; I have already killed it."

"Let's go to Dongcheng Square."

The Corpse Lord looked ahead and said, "I can sense that he's there."

"it is good."

The car started moving, and the skeleton looked at Xie Yan and asked, "Why hasn't Ren Dongcheng left yet?"

"strength."

The Skeleton King was merely describing the situation he encountered, but the Infinite Monkeys had already deduced the answer.

Xie Yan affirmed, "The elemental traces were left by that spirit pet. That apostle also used this to his advantage, using the spirit pet as a dimensional lowering medium to attract the pursuers."

"And most of the apostle's spiritual body left with Ren Dongcheng."

Xie Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Last night, Ren Dongcheng had his media company publish some interviews about the unfinished building, which sparked public opinion."

"At the same time, Hengyuan Group was also asked to compensate the residents of those unfinished buildings."

The Skeleton General nodded and said, "So, Ren Dongcheng fled for experience. Once he has accumulated enough experience, he will escape into the Spirit Realm."

"Yes."

squeak--

The car stopped. Dongcheng Square was very close to Tianshang Garden. At this moment, Xie Yan could see the man and girl in the steamed bun shop through the car window.

“That apostle has been exposed. He now needs a stable body.”

"Ren Dongcheng was actually infected by the flesh and blood pathogen when he first faked his death a few years ago. The reason he hasn't turned into a [consumption demon] is simply because that apostle is suppressing him."

"Right now, this Luan Ke is just a tool. Once his strength increases another level and he enters the Spirit Realm, he will be transformed into a [Consumption Demon], lose his humanity, and be completely controlled by the Apostles."

The Corpse Master nodded and said, "If that's the case, I roughly know why that apostle risked not leaving."

"Do you know what those apostles were doing when they came to Qing City back then?"

Xie Yan's eyes lit up. He had asked his grandfather this question before. But Xie Wu did not answer him. Even though his father had died at the hands of the Traveler and he possessed a rule-based deduction domain, he was still not authorized to learn this information.

"do not know."

The Skeleton General paused slightly and said, "The information about the Shenke Realm will soon be downgraded, so I'm telling you in advance."

"The apostles who came to Qing City back then were seven fully-formed apostles who descended to the capital. They were at least capable of infecting and disrupting the entire Lu Province."

But they didn't.

"They merely infected Qing City, almost through self-sacrifice, stealing a timeline of the present world."

"What will happen?"

Zha Hu's breathing became somewhat rapid.

"That timeline is 'future'."

The General said, "The Special Operations Department speculates that one day in the future, the present world may overlap with the Shenke World." "This is just speculation. Even now, we cannot extract the timeline of a world; we can only obtain the space of a part of the world."

"That is, the boundary mooring."

The Corpse General looked at the man in the shop not far away and said, "The then District Chief of the Eighth District, Red Maple General, deduced two important pieces of information through the behavior of the Great Disciple stealing the timeline and his research on a large number of Devourers."

"First, the Apostles possess the ability to settle accounts in real time in any world. When we travel through the heavens, we need to complete an entire mission before we can leave the world and enter the spirit realm to settle our accounts. But the Apostles can settle accounts in real time while traveling through the heavens, without having to leave."

"Secondly, the apostle's 'consumption demon' can be replicated."

"The reason why that apostle was willing to take the risk and wait for Ren Dongcheng to reap the experience and improve his strength is because the stronger Ren Dongcheng is, the stronger the 'consumption ghosts' that his spiritual body can create in the future will be."

"A consumptive ghost with the Luan Ke template, who has even crossed the Dragon Gate, would be the envy of even a Grand Disciple."

After speaking, the general simply gazed quietly out the window. Xie Yan didn't press further; he knew the general was telling him these things because Xie Yan was his soldier and because of his grandfather.

Otherwise, even if this intelligence is downgraded, it's not something I can access in a short time.

Xie Yan rubbed his head and asked, "Shall we make a move?"

"Do not."

The Skeleton General shook his head and said, "That apostle still has some spiritual entities outside, which I can detect now."

“A spiritual apostle can be revived as long as one of its spiritual entities exists.”

“I will kill all his external spiritual entities first, leaving only this one. He can’t escape.”

"clear."

Xie Yan nodded.

At this moment, the Skeleton King closed his eyes, and the shadow beneath his feet twisted rapidly, instantly disappearing into all directions and vanishing into the shadows of the buildings.

……

Bun shop.

Sunlight streamed through the oil-stained window, and Ren Dongcheng looked somewhat awkwardly at the girl in front of him.

The two of them ate five baskets of steamed buns, and Ren Dongcheng ate four baskets by himself.

He had originally planned to take the girl out for a hot meal, but after finishing, he realized he had no money.

His body was merely a coagulated form of dissolved blood, and his clothes were taken from his storage space. He had been defeated too quickly by that wandering swordsman last night, and his "corpse," along with his phone and other belongings, had been taken away.

"Um, I'll go..."

Just as Ren Dongcheng was about to use his transplantation ability to modify his boss's memories, Liu Yanyan stood up with a smile and said, "This meal is on me, Uncle. Thank you for celebrating my birthday yesterday!"

Before Ren Dongcheng could refuse, the little girl ran towards the counter.

Living alone for so long has made this elementary school girl far more mature than her peers, and she easily sensed Ren Dongcheng's slight unease.

Standing up, Ren Dongcheng watched as Liu Yanyan took out five-cent, one-yuan, and five-yuan notes from her pocket. The people queuing around them were making noise, and the morning light, blurred by grease, shone through the smoke onto the old banknotes.

Ren Dongcheng was momentarily dazed; he sensed something was amiss.

Why did I leave the unfinished building?
What about the white lizard?
"uncle."

At that moment, Liu Yanyan walked over, tilted her head back, and asked, "Can you take me to the amusement park?"

The girl's tone was tentative, as if afraid Ren Dongcheng would refuse, as she said, "I'll treat you! This is my New Year's money from my mom. I've been saving it up, waiting for her to treat me..."

"Walk."

Ren Dongcheng nodded and followed the girl out of the steamed bun shop.

He remembered that his white lizard had been instantly killed by that Luan Ke yesterday and hadn't revived yet. He had come out because the Special Operations Department had discovered something amiss with the body and would likely conduct another search.

The two got into a taxi and headed to the amusement park.

"Follow."

Xie Yan glanced at the life puppet, which had no shadow yet, and immediately spoke.

hum-

He stepped on the gas and caught up with the traffic.
