I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 20 The Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals

The mysterious organization, Zhan Ye Si, has been established for many years. Its members are all individuals with extraordinary abilities. Before the arrival of Eternal Night, Zhan Ye Si had been secretly cooperating with the Police Department to handle various strange incidents.

Werewolves rampage and devour people in bars at midnight, evil spirits possess and take over bodies, and man-eating monsters roam the city. The Night Slayer Division is usually responsible for killing these bizarre monsters, while the Police Department is responsible for handling the aftermath. In public reports, these terrifying things are cleverly avoided.

Originally, things were relatively peaceful. Although there were these evil creatures and monsters in the brightly lit city, their numbers were not large, and the Night Slayer Division could handle them. However, after the fog engulfed the city, the eerie and terrifying things increased, and the Night Slayer Division was overwhelmed and stretched thin. Therefore, they implemented a "curfew" to reduce human activity when night fell, thereby reducing the probability of evil events.

"It's not too late to observe for a while longer!"

"Whether it's good or evil is still uncertain; what if it's to our advantage?"

"The Eternal Night has become longer again. If the Evil God descends in the next phase, our current strength will be insufficient to deal with the Thirteen Coffins of the Evil Spirit. We have no chance of defeating the Evil God."

Lin Jiuge did not want to give up on Li Changgeng, even though the appearance of a divine mark on a mortal body was almost a bad omen, indicating the body of an evil god, and an evil god was an existence even more terrifying than the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits.

The greatest enemy of the Night Slayer Corps is the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits. As the eternal night grows longer and the temperature drops significantly, the final outcome will be that the entire world will turn into darkness, the temperature will plummet, winter will arrive, and the eternal night and cold will gradually devour everything.

"So, you're betting that kid named Li Changgeng is an ancient god? Not an evil god?" Zhan Ye Si Ming Wang frowned. He was the leader of Zhan Ye Si and the fifth-generation successor of Zhan Ye Si with a divine status. Lin Jiuge's failure to obey his orders and even her rebellious intentions made him very unhappy.

If a mortal body bears a divine mark, it almost certainly means that this person cannot be one of the ten pillars of the Ten Heavenly Stems; they are a god descended. The struggle between the ancient gods and the evil gods has lasted for thousands of years, and with the arrival of this eternal night, they are bound to fight to the death to determine who prevails.

"Lord Hades, I'm not entirely sure, but I always feel that Li Changgeng is a very mysterious person, so mysterious that I can't see through him at all." Lin Jiuge has been a member of the Night Slayer Division for ten years, but she has never seen what the Night Slayer Division's leader, Lord Hades, looks like. She only feels that he hasn't changed his clothes or his posture over the years, and he always has his back to everyone in the Night Slayer Division.

"Continue." Hades knew that Lin Jiuge's words had a hidden meaning. The Ten Pillar Gods were the best candidates to deal with the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits. As for the Ancient Gods, they were rare and hard to come by. The world of this monster city could fall apart at any time, and most people living in big cities were completely unaware of this.

"After leaving KMS Company, Li Changgeng went to Black Sea City Hospital to see his sister Li Ying. Lin Mo from the hospital reported to me that Li Changgeng saw our cat-headed man but did not react strongly. He also saw his sister Li Ying and disagreed with conducting the experiment."

"After leaving the hospital, Li Changgeng went to Black Sea City University to see Xia Mengmeng. We didn't expect that the nightmare of the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits would appear. The raging fire almost burned down the Buddhist hall, and all the cat-headed people died. After that, we didn't observe anything, and Xia Mengmeng and Li Changgeng disappeared."

Lin Jiuge paused for a moment, then continued, "We used an array from the Thirty-Six Arts of the Heavenly Gang to create a barrier between the Buddhist Academy of Black Sea City University and the outside world. This will ensure that others cannot see or hear it, and will not be affected or harmed. The police and security personnel have already gone to the scene and are handling the situation. They have announced that the fire at the Buddhist Academy caused the explosion and collapse damage."

The last time the Buddhist academy caught fire, it was because the White Snake's beast soul awakened. Xia Mengmeng happened to be chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall. As a result, by a twist of fate, Xia Mengmeng and the White Snake, human and snake souls merged and became one. Xia Mengmeng gained the ability to control fire. Memories deep in her soul told her about the Ten Heavenly Stems Pillar Gods. She is the Fire Pillar God.

The Night Slayer Division wanted to formally recruit Xia Mengmeng, but she refused. Even a pillar god needs to cultivate and train, otherwise he could be killed at any time. Once she joined the Night Slayer Division, it would mean that her identity as the Fire Pillar God would be completely exposed.

Snap...Snap!

Zhan Ye Si Ming Wang clapped his hands, "I didn't expect it to be so exciting. Last time, when the White Snake caused a ruckus at the Buddhist Academy, she used the excuse of an accidental fire. This time, it's still an accidental fire. It's too far-fetched. Tell the police that someone planted a bomb in the Buddhist academy's hall. That would be more convincing. We must find Xia Mengmeng."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lin Jiuge was still very wary of Hades, who possessed divine status and was among the gods. "Furthermore, the Nightmare of the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits was severely injured and left, indicating that a powerful figure intervened. Xia Mengmeng's disappearance must be connected to this mysterious expert."

Zhan Ye Si Ming Wang's gray eyebrows twitched rapidly. "What did this person use to defeat the fetal nightmare?" Lin Jiu Ge recalled: "Sword techniques, Moonlight Slash, Cross Full Moon Slash."

Hades stroked his long white goatee, his voice hoarse, "To be able to severely injure the Fetal Nightmare, one must possess considerable strength. To cross the barrier to rescue someone without fear of being exposed, this person is a friend, not an enemy. Find this person. Lin Jiuge, as the Dark Night Inspector, are you capable of defeating the Fetal Nightmare?"

"No," Lin Jiuge said softly, looking down.

"How's the game development going?" Hades asked with concern.

Lin Jiuge had always had this question. She originally thought that the existence of KMS Games was to cover up the organization Zhan Ye Si. "It's still going on, it's almost done. Is your idea of ​​finding the Ten Pillar Gods through the game reliable?"

"These are orders from above, just do as they say. I won't punish you today, do you know what you did wrong?" Hades' hoarse voice was filled with endless killing intent.

“I shouldn’t have given Li Changgeng a 100 million yuan bonus,” Lin Jiuge said respectfully.

"It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Remember, by cutting off Li Changgeng's source of income, he will have no choice but to agree to our special treatment services in Li Ying's special care ward."

"Li Ying's special treatment can be administered secretly by the hospital without Li Changgeng's knowledge. Is it necessary for Li Changgeng to agree?"

"This is also the intention of the higher-ups. Li Changgeng's parents are both mythology archaeologists, so they should be given the necessary respect and consideration."

"I understand, Hades. As for Li Changgeng, should he continue taking his medicine?"

"Everyone at KMS Games, except you, has been taking medication. They can't stop taking it; they have to."

"With so many kinds of drugs, I have a feeling that he might harm Li Changgeng. I'm sure he's not an evil god!"

"You're still worried that those with divine seals will be harmed by drugs? Jiuge, you're oversimplifying things. Do evil gods only do bad things and never do good? Are all ancient gods righteous and incapable of evil deeds? Continue your cultivation and accelerate the game's development. This is also what the higher-ups want. If there's nothing else, you may leave!"

Lin Jiuge left Zhanye Division and took the elevator directly back to the game company. She still didn't know who Hades was referring to when he said "above".

Li Changgeng slowly opened his eyes, completely losing his sense of time and not knowing how long he had slept.

"what time is it?"

Yes, the familiar red countdown timer is back!
