This entry is suspicious.

Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

With a lifespan of three hundred years, one can fly through the air, with one's divine sense covering tens of kilometers. One's primordial spirit can leave the body, traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening. The essence of life has completely transcended the mortal realm; one can survive even with only the head remaining. Even if the physical body perishes, the primordial spirit can endure for a long time.

Such a person is considered a living god in the eyes of ordinary people.

The strongest cultivator Zhou Ran had ever met was Wei Si, the leader of the third response team, who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and possessed the strength to kill a level-two strange being.

Li Feng is also at the Foundation Establishment stage and is a retired soldier king from the Anti-Terrorism Department.

The Counter-Terrorism Department... is a department of the Sky Ring Federation specifically for dealing with demonic forces, on par with the Response Bureau, and every member of it is an elite among elites.

As the captain of a certain unit, Li Feng's strength is self-evident, and his status is even higher than Wei Si's.

His ability to run a private agency dealing with the supernatural suggests he has extensive experience in handling such incidents, coupled with the thought-provoking term "Mastering the Supernatural"...

Li Feng might be even stronger than Wei Si.

If Wei Si can kill a level two supernatural being, Li Feng certainly can too.

But even such a powerful figure has a blood-red inscription hanging above his head.

What does this mean?

This means that during this hotel trip, Li Feng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, has a chance of surviving that is not much higher than that of cannon fodder!

This also means that the horror of this bizarre event far exceeds everyone's imagination!

Zhou Ran's face was ashen. She turned to Su Meilin and asked, "Is there a mirror?"

Su Meilin took a mirror out of her handbag and looked at him strangely: "What do you need a mirror for?"

"Let me admire my handsome face one last time before I die."

As Zhou Ran spoke nonsensically, his heart sank deeper and deeper into despair. In the mirror, a line of scarlet words, as red as blood, floated above his head.

—Death is imminent!

"The mirror is for you. Look at yourself in it before you die." Su Meilin paused. "Are you sure you don't want to experience sex?"

"I'm not in the mood."

Zhou Ran was speechless. It was a situation where life or death was imminent, so how could he possibly be in the mood to do this?

Dao Ge led the three men to Li Feng, completely devoid of his usual arrogance. He was all smiles and spoke with utmost deference: "Brother Feng, I've brought the men. These are the three of them."

Li Feng glanced at the three of them casually and said coldly, "Two students and a prostitute, are you trying to fool me? Immature people only make things worse in strange events."

"We wouldn't dare fool you!" Brother Dao quickly pulled Zhou Ran forward and patted him hard on the shoulder. "This kid's been through some weird things, he's experienced!"

"Yeah?"

Li Feng stared at Zhou Ran, exerting pressure subtly.

"It's true."

Zhou Ran knew that he had to demonstrate his value in order not to be treated as cannon fodder to be discarded at will.

"You said it yourself, so let me test you."

Li Feng pointed to the Pearl Hotel in the distance: "I'm at the Foundation Establishment stage, why do I need to gather so many people to deal with this strange phenomenon?"

Zhou Ran followed his finger and noticed that the Pearl Hotel was brightly lit, but the lights in some areas flickered as if there was a malfunction, like the faint breathing of a dying person.

Power outage? Equipment malfunction? Unlikely; such a top-tier luxury hotel is unlikely to experience widespread malfunctions.

Therefore, it can only be the work of some strange force.

After a moment's thought, he replied, "The Foundation Establishment Realm possesses the power to annihilate the strange. The safest approach is to lock onto the target with divine sense and then kill it with ranged attacks. Even if it causes some losses, it is far safer than a head-on confrontation."

But if I'm not mistaken, this strange creature is quite special; it has the ability to interfere with other things. Neither the divine sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator nor mechanical constructs like drones can get close to it, so you have to enter the hotel yourself.

The bizarre abilities are incredibly diverse, some even possessing rule-level killing power. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could be caught off guard and perish. That's why you need to gather manpower and use human lives to test the strange abilities.

As soon as he finished speaking, many busy members of the agency cast surprised glances at him. Li Feng was also quite surprised that a high school student could be so calm in observing and analyzing the environment under immense pressure, and that he also had a lot of knowledge about the supernatural.

"Interesting. What's your name?" Li Feng asked.

"Zhou Ran".

"You possess a rare talent, and I can give you a chance. Mu Feng, give him a knife."

A young man next to him responded and pulled a battle knife from the equipment box, handing it to Zhou Ran.

The scabbard is made of matte black metal and feels quite heavy, weighing at least twenty pounds.

Zhou Ran gripped the hilt of the knife and slowly pulled it out.

The moment the blade was drawn, a chilling, silvery-white light burst forth as if it were a tangible substance. The light seemed to carry a sharp edge, piercing the eyes and exuding a murderous aura.

"This is a high-frequency battle blade. It needs to be infused with qi and blood to activate. When activating it, don't touch the blade randomly, don't swing it around, and don't point it at your own people," Mu Feng instructed.

Zhou Ran examined the battle knife in his hand with surprise. He knew a bit about this type of weapon because he often surfed the internet, but this was the first time he had seen it in real life.

High-frequency vibrating knives were invented during the technological age. The principle is to make the blade vibrate at an ultra-high frequency to tear apart the target. Almost anything becomes as thin as paper in front of it. At that time, this type of weapon was mostly used for industrial cutting and special operations.

Later, with the rise of the Immortal Path, researchers incorporated its advanced technology into the original technical framework, resulting in a dramatic increase in practicality and lethality.

The high-frequency battle blade is now equipped with a spiritual energy circulation matrix, which allows even cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm to unleash true energy for combat. Furthermore, the attributes of true energy can be adjusted by replacing the chip and circulation matrix.

Zhou Ran quickly mastered how to use it after a short try.

"Go wait there."

Mu Feng pointed to a spot not far away where several people were gathered. They were all cannon fodder who had been forcibly recruited, but unlike the others, these cannon fodder had some value.

Zhou Ran looked at the crowd and felt a chill run down his spine. These people were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and there were two of them who needed to be paid special attention to.

The first one was a thirty-year-old man, wearing a wrinkled plaid shirt, with greasy hair plastered to his forehead, sunken eyes, and sparse stubble covering his chin.

He squatted on the ground, holding a can of beer in his hand, taking a sip, then spacing out for a while, like a walking corpse that wasn't quite dead yet.

[Cui Jin], [Qi Refining Level 1], [Starting a Business with a Loan], [Being Set Up], [Girlfriend Cheating], [Despondent and World-weary], [Depression], [Self-Destructive Tendencies]... [Imminent Death (Red)]

This is a hapless guy who started a business with a loan but was tricked and went bankrupt, and his girlfriend even cheated on him. He has the cultivation level of the first stage of Qi Refining and has self-destructive tendencies.

This mindset is a high-risk factor in bizarre events; if it explodes, the consequences are unimaginable.

The second one is even more heavyweight.

A 22-year-old young man, wearing a black hoodie and a hood, revealing only a pale face and an unusually calm pair of eyes, with a mechanical prosthetic in his left hand.

[Fang Beichen], [Fourth Level of Qi Refining], [Cyborg], [Underground Fighter], [Family Members Died Tragically Before His Eyes], [Obsession], [Antisocial], [Calm Madness], [Demonic Path Departed], [Possessing Demonic Powers]... [Death Imminent (Red)]

This guy is a heretic!
