The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

"I do have a backup plan." Chen Guan turned to him, his gaze meeting Long Ao's in the absolute darkness. "However, I need your help."

"Speak!" Long Ao's spirits lifted. Chen Guan's composure made him subconsciously choose to trust him. Although it was pitch black all around, he felt that Chen Guan must be radiating light at this moment.

Long Ao's thoughts were simple and unpretentious: "I'm just glad I can help."

Chen Guan raised his hand and pointed in a direction that led to the outskirts of the city, far from the city center.

"My method can only target the core of the ritual, which is the Queen's Casino, but the scope of this ritual covers the entire city. The commoners in those peripheral areas are the first batch of sacrifices, and I am overwhelmed with their needs."

"The main force of the Great Wall will be stuck in the center of the city and they can't get through. I need someone to go to the residential areas that are first affected and do your best to evacuate and protect them."

"Buy me some time."

Every word of these words struck Long Ao's heart like a heavy blow.

He looked at Chen Guan, this classmate, whose image in his mind was elevated to an unprecedented level at this moment. He even forgot to think about how Chen Guan, a student, would want to solve such a disaster.

Perhaps he had already gotten used to Chen Guan's omnipotence.

Sacrifice the small to save the big, keep the overall situation in mind.

While everyone else was focused on the eye of the storm, he was still thinking about the most inconspicuous victims.

He himself had been so focused on rushing into the casino and fighting Blood Butcher that he hadn't thought about the civilians who needed the most protection.

A feeling of guilt welled up inside me.

He felt ashamed of his own lack of such a concern for the world.

"I understand." Long Ao nodded emphatically, straightening his back. The remaining dragon energy within him resurfaced, this time with an unwavering determination: "Leave it to me! You... be careful."

Having said that, he didn't hesitate any longer. Dragging his body, which was about 70-80% recovered, he calibrated his bearings, turned, and rushed into the dark passage leading to the surface. His heavy footsteps quickly faded into the distance.

One has to envy Long Ao's physique; his recovery speed is truly top-notch. Even after his account was banned, he remained just as strong.

[Tears welling up, Brother Coffin truly cares about each and every one of us.]

[Ao Ge was also clearly assigned a role to protect civilians; this is how the main characters should be—they're all good kids.]

[Long Ye, for the sake of the bigger picture, placed Chen Guan in danger. It's a bold guess that Chen Guan actually knew all along, but he came voluntarily, just like now, to protect more talented people.]

[Upstairs, please stop talking. It's making me uncomfortable to watch this so late at night.]

Chen Guan watched Long Ao's disappearing figure, then glanced at the comments section, and the heaviness on his face vanished instantly.

The comments section is overthinking it, and Long Ao is probably overthinking it too.

He just needed a reason to get rid of this hot-blooded idiot with a head full of justice. He didn't want him to know what happened next. Fortunately, the suburbs were far enough that even if Long Ao worked himself to death, he wouldn't be able to get there.

"Bar"

He called out in his heart.

A languid voice resounded directly in his mental world: "Yo, still alive. How's the spectacle that's swept the entire city?"

"This is just a low-level demon?" Chen Guan went straight to the point. He didn't believe that such a large-scale operation could be caused by just an ordinary little demon.

Even among demons, there are differences.

"Of course... no." Baal's tone was full of glee, as if he were enjoying a good show: "That so-called cult leader won the lottery. He disturbed the obsession of... well, an old geezer who should have died a long time ago."

"The ritual of blood slaughter unexpectedly became the coordinate for this obsession to descend, so this is no longer a simple summoning ritual."

Baal's voice carried a hint of amusement: "This is a feast of fighting for the remnants of divinity. That cult leader wants to devour that obsession to complete his own ascension. Oh, he has no idea what kind of being he has awakened."

Chen Guan's heart skipped a beat.

The obsession of an ancient demon god?

Residues of godhead?

Instead of showing fear, Chen Guan's eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

He wouldn't even look at ordinary demons.

But the obsession of an ancient demon god is like a super supplement tailor-made for his sleeping body.

This world has been home to many demons and gods, some of whom survived like Baal, while others naturally perished.

Even a centipede with a hundred legs does not die easily; even a dead demon god will always leave something behind, just like the lingering resentment summoned by Blood Slaughter.

I, Chen Guan, am determined to eat all this food!

Barr chuckled and began to encourage, "The chef has already prepared the dishes, so we need a proper diner, don't we? Your echo can perfectly record this exciting moment."

"I will go."

Without further delay, Chen carried the coffin and left the subway station through another passage.

His figure moved swiftly through the city, perfectly avoiding all patrolling officials and scanning drones in the sky.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at an abandoned office building opposite the Queen's Casino, which was no more than 100 meters away from the casino.

Chen Guan climbed onto the rooftop, lifted the lid of the rooftop water tank, and carefully removed the black coffin from his back, gently placing it at the bottom of the tank.

An illusion was cast, and in the mind's perception, the water tank became one with its surroundings.

After doing all this, Chen Guan walked to the edge of the rooftop.

Below, the Queen's Casino is brightly lit, its lavish neon lights outlining its sinister silhouette.

Countless luxury cars were parked at the entrance, while the well-dressed gamblers were completely unaware of the impending doom, continuing their hedonistic lifestyle inside.

In Chen Guan's eyes, that place was the end of the blood-red torrent, a huge vortex that was frantically devouring the entire city.

A cold look appeared on his face.

He leaped into the air, his body tracing a silent path through the air, like a black feather, and floated lightly into the shadows of the casino's back alley.

The diners are now formally seated.

Chen Guan moved silently through the casino's intricate staff passageways. His powerful mental strength allowed him to evade all the guards in advance.

His goal was clear: the top level, the core of the ceremony.

Just as he stepped onto the last flight of stairs leading to the top floor, a familiar female voice rang in his mind without warning.

"You're bolder than I imagined."

"Need any help, prospective member?"
