This actor is full of tricks.

As the crimson hue in the night sky gradually faded, the chaos in Quming County subsided. People stared at the sky with suspicion, still reeling from the panic they had just experienced.

"The crimson color has disappeared!"

"It's not just blood red, look, there's no ashes left either. What happened?"

The people of Quming County lived in the ashes for nearly a year. Now that the ashes have completely disappeared, they are puzzled and a little unaccustomed to it.

"Did that kid win?" The old man parked his pickup truck on the side of the road, looked up at the sky, and thought that Lin Jue had most likely won, otherwise Xue Ye wouldn't have disappeared so inexplicably.

Thinking of this, he raised the megaphone and shouted outside, "What are you all doing sticking your heads out here again? Don't you know that curiosity can kill you? Go to bed right now!"

When Lin Jue returned to Quming with Lie Zeng, they saw a group of ghosts wandering the streets with wary expressions, like patrolling guards.

"Boss!" The monsters stopped abruptly upon seeing Lin Jue, their expressions respectful and filled with awe.

They all knew that Lin Jue had gone to deal with an extremely vicious beast, and now that Lin Jue had returned unharmed, it meant that the extremely vicious beast was dead.

Does this mean that their leader's strength has surpassed that of the most vicious and evil?
Thinking of this, the expressions on the faces of the group of strange people suddenly became proud. They straightened their backs, raised their heads, and secretly rejoiced that they had not followed the wrong person.

"Dr. Zhou," Fu Yu limped over, "Is everything resolved?"

"It's resolved. Let's rest tonight and go home tomorrow. Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. When we get home, I'll go into the mist and grab something so the chef can make hot pot for everyone." Lin Jue clapped his hands. Although this group of monsters was relatively weak and didn't participate in the battle, they still played a crucial role.

Qu Ning County is now peaceful, without any disturbances or the smell of blood in the air. This indicates that while he was fighting Jinmie, the group of monsters were doing their best to maintain order in Qu Ning County and protect the safety of the residents, preventing any monsters from taking advantage of the chaos to eat people.

"Thank you, boss!" The group of monsters exclaimed excitedly in unison, making the surrounding residents want to look but dare not. After all, that was the leader of a group of monsters, and who knew what kind of terrifying thing it was.

"Alright, alright, I've always told you not to act like gangsters." Lin Jue told Fu Yu to put away all the ghosts and looked at the old man in the pickup truck.

The old man seemed to think that Lin Jue was still angry with him for acting on his own initiative, and he looked like he wanted to speak but didn't dare to.

"Tsk, sir, are you still embarrassed?" Lin Jue broke the silence first: "Hurry up and return the stolen car to its owner."

His tone was natural, as if nothing had happened.

"How is that stealing? It's just sitting there on the roadside, not in use. I'm just making the most of it." Seeing that Lin Jue wasn't going to dwell on what happened before, the old man's expression relaxed. He started arguing with Lin Jue as before, and then pointed his thumb at the back of the truck: "Grandpa will take you for a ride?"

"Alright, I have other things to do. You can go around by yourself. Go straight from here and turn right to get onto the national highway. Go and see if you can overtake Da Yun on the curves."

Lin Jue exchanged a few words with the old man and then sneaked off toward Ya Ya's house.

In the darkness, Wang Qingya stood quietly under the dim lights of the residential area, holding the cat spirit in her arms, with Xueying, who looked like a street thug and was slightly larger, squatting beside her.

There were still some bloodstains on the ground not far away, indicating that a battle had taken place. "Are Ya Ya and her family safe?" Lin Jue walked over and asked in a low voice.

“A ghost came by just now and scared the child quite a bit, but we've dealt with it,” Wang Qingya replied softly.

Lin Jue stared at the slightly deformed gate of Ya Ya's house, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Qing Ya, I'm sorry to trouble you these past two days. You can stay here for now, and I'll come back to pick you up in a few days."

Ya Ya's family is basically just her and her paralyzed father. They have almost no ability to resist the strange creatures. Any E-level strange creature would be in danger of losing its life. Therefore, Lin Jue plans to arrange for Wang Qingya to hide in the vicinity for the time being to protect Ya Ya.

He was even considering whether to bring Ya Ya's family to Sanjiang later, so that it would be closer to Yangtao Street.

"And what about me, boss?" Blood Shadow asked.

Lin Jue thought for a moment and said, "You can go with Qingya. You two can clean up the strange creatures hiding in Quming later, and you can also recover your strength."

The cultists have been wiped out, and the benevolent father has also been dealt with. Even if there are still some strange creatures hiding in Quming County, they shouldn't be too strong. With Wang Qingya's B-level strength, she can easily handle them.

After giving all the instructions, Lin Jue went up to the building next door, lay down on the sofa, and started to doze off.

Previously, the script about the benevolent father had been a taut string in his heart, keeping him on edge. Now that the matter had been properly resolved, he relaxed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Jue quietly left Quming. By the time he got back to Sanjiang by car, it was almost noon. He first went back to Yangtao Street to put all the strange things back in their original places, and then asked Huahualulu and the others to go to the nearby supermarket to buy ingredients, preparing to treat his strange creatures to a good meal.

Just as the hot pot was boiling at the dozen or so large round tables, an uninvited guest barged into Yangtao Street.

When Lin Jue saw Xiao Lin coldly surveying his surroundings, he paused in his hot pot, stuffed the meat from his chopsticks into the mouth of the old man next to him, and hurriedly went to greet him.

He wasn't surprised that Xiao Lin knew about Yangtao Street, since King Yama must have gotten the information from him. What intrigued him was why Xiao Lin had come looking for him at this time.

Xiao Lin replied expressionlessly, "Didn't you say you were going to treat me to dinner? I have to go back to the provincial capital for a meeting tonight, so I don't have time. I thought you should be back by now, so I came to check on you."

"Was it King Chixiao who sent you to come and take a look?" Lin Jue asked in return. With Xiao Lin's aloof personality, how could she possibly come to him on her own initiative? The excuse of having a meal was completely out of character for her. So after a little thought, Lin Jue guessed that it must have been King Chixiao who instructed her.

That king has his eye on me, he'll definitely send people to inspect Yangtao Street.

"Yes," Xiao Lin readily admitted. "But even without the Crimson Sky King's orders, can't I come for a meal?"

Lin Jue was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "If a director like you can come to my place for a meal, do you think I'd let you go hungry?"

"Hey you! All that colorful stuff, go get another stool and a set of chopsticks and a bowl!" (End of Chapter)
