I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Chapter 182, Section 181: The Exposed Secret! The Mysterious Card Master! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Xu Lindong was completely stunned after hearing the midnight killer's explanation.

He then realized that the entire plan by which the evil society used that "powerful bicycle" to cause trouble had long been under the other party's control.

It was only because he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and disrupted the original arrangements that the scene appeared somewhat chaotic.

At the time, he even thought that the headquarters of the Department of the Supernatural was a makeshift operation and seemed somewhat caught off guard.

Little did they know, headquarters had already sent Consultant Xie to lie in ambush at the train station.

The midnight killer continued, "Now that I've said all that, you should understand."

"This is how we've always done things."

"But thanks to your quick action, you created a situation that looked like an accidental discovery, which prevented me from being exposed and allowed me to continue gaining their trust."

"My identity can be revealed, but only after a major matter has been resolved. Otherwise, revealing it prematurely would be counterproductive."

Xu Lindong slowly put down the scraper in his hand, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This official undercover agent is a real old fox, he's really got a deep hand on things.

Moreover, judging from what the other party said, even Xie Yun, the advisor, was only arranged by him through "hints" rather than being stated directly.

Doesn't this mean that this person's identity at headquarters is still a mystery?

No wonder Director Zheng said he was still investigating this mole.

"Don't be too wary of me."

The midnight thug said calmly, "Everyone has secrets. I have mine, and so do you."

We can be friends, the kind of friends who keep each other's secrets.

Xu Lindong felt a chill and said coldly, "What you're saying sounds just like those gay men in Tianfu City."

The midnight thug paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "What I mean is, for example, that you often use this broken chair to enter the path to the underworld, and for example—your identity as the 'King of Hell's Decree'."

This is your secret; I won't pry, nor will I tell anyone.

"However, from what I've observed, it seems that you've been inspired by my method of sealing the powerful clan's bicycle, and you've also learned to use special supernatural objects to seal away evil objects."

Making good use of tools is a good thing.

Even the most malevolent objects are only effective if used by the right person.

Xu Lindong blinked, realizing the other party had misunderstood, but he naturally wouldn't explain that these things were locked in the Tower of Babel. He put one hand in his pocket and said, "You're right. But you know so much about me, yet I know nothing about you. Shouldn't you reveal some of your identity information?"

""

"Hahaha----"

The midnight thug's laughter carried a hint of amusement. "I won't tell you any more, just like how I found you by myself, slowly figuring it out on my own."

You think you've hidden it well?

But all the extraordinary individuals in the entire Eastern District are on record.

Even if someone has been hiding for a long time, very few people can suddenly become active and demonstrate such strength in the last six months.

In the past two months, Tongyou Road has frequently appeared near the Shenyisi (a place in the Eastern District).

"If we investigate within this scope, it's easy to become a suspect."

The midnight thug said meaningfully, "After all, you've been the only one who's stood out in the last few months, even rising to become a Night Wanderer."

Xu Lindong remained silent for a moment, but he had to admit defeat in his heart.

Indeed, these clues alone are enough to pinpoint him.

The midnight thug continued, "Also, that faceless mask you're wearing, while it prevents the ghosts on the path to the underworld from directly locking onto your appearance, this state of 'unobservable' is itself very suspicious."

Fortunately, I know a fair bit about supernatural beings like the Department of the Supernatural, and I recognize this mask.

Even though I suspected it was you, I didn't tell anyone. That's my sincerity.

Xu Lindong narrowed his eyes in thought; the other party was indeed not lying.

If this person really wanted to harm him, the identity of the Yama King's Decree would have been exposed long ago, and the authorities would not have been able to investigate until now without any results.

Perhaps—the other person is on the same path as him.

Neither of them wanted their other identity to be revealed.

Just like this "Midnight Killer," he is also wanted by the federal government.

He was also certain that the other party could not possibly know his deeper secrets.

For example, the existence of the Tower of Babel and the Goddess Houtu.

When the Goddess Houtu sealed that evil bicycle, if there were other people lurking around, she would have noticed them immediately.

Even so, this person's identity still poses a potential threat to Xu Lindong.

His voice suddenly turned cold: "I will find you slowly. If you dare to reveal my true identity—"

The midnight thug laughed: "Don't worry, the small talk is over, right? Business is on our side."

"Your intelligence network seems to be of low quality, as you only managed to find out about this bar."

But there are only a few small fish here, no need to alert them—I'll take you to a place where we can catch big fish.

Xu Lindong frowned slightly.

The information he had only traced back to this bar.

The person in charge here is just a minor figure in the Kerman family, ranked tenth.

He originally planned to follow the clues to find the source.

It now appears that the midnight killer possessed far more in-depth intelligence than he did.

"Hurry up."

The midnight thug said in a deep voice, "The other party will soon realize that the evil object didn't kill you."

I don't have a second substitute puppet; these things are extremely precious.

He turned and left, his figure flashing as he appeared dozens of meters away.

Xu Lindong's eyes narrowed, and he immediately sped up to catch up.

..

Twenty minutes later.

Two figures appeared outside the walls of a large manor on the outskirts of the town.

Xu Lindong calmly turned his gaze to the manor. Through his ability to hear corpses, he could sense that there were many signs of life inside the manor.

But most of them are just ordinary people, and their physical condition is obviously very weak.

He even vaguely sensed that some kind of evil, supernatural energy fluctuation was surging beneath the manor, causing the Tower of Babel around his neck to stir.

The Midnight Fiend spoke up, "There should be two Sequence Seven superhumans hiding in this manor; they're two big fish."

That malevolent object that can create mushroom mycelium remotely and cause sudden death should be here.

He paused briefly, then looked at Xu Lindong: "Can you solve one of the Sequence Sevens? If so, it will make things much easier for me."

"I came here mainly to take away or destroy that evil object."

Xu Lindong was slightly startled.

His operation was specifically aimed at the other side, and he knew that the other side had two Sequence 7 superhumans in charge.

But he didn't expect that the two of them would be in the same place at the same time.

If that's the case, he certainly couldn't have taken it down by himself.

Unless you use a strange bicycle to ram them as soon as you meet them, or directly ask the Goddess Houtu to take action.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to handle two Sequence 7s on his own.

But now that the midnight thugs are around, perhaps—he won't need to use the evil bicycle.

With just the flat knife and his own abilities, he should be able to attempt to solve one of the Sequence 7 problems.

As for the other one...

He immediately replied, "Sure, I can handle one, you can have the other one."

"Can you pinpoint the exact location of that evil object?"

The Midnight Killer said calmly, "The exact location is uncertain. But I'm certain it's in the hands of one of the Sequence Sevens."

Xu Lindong was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "That makes sense."

"So it's all about luck," the midnight thug said, his tone unchanged. "If you run into someone who happens to have that thing, he might just use it on you. Be careful."

Xu Lindong looked up at him: "And what about you? What if he uses it on you? It seems you have a second scapegoat?"

"No, I'm not lying to you this time."

Midnight Killer shook his head: "But I suspect that thing is only effective against Sequence Six beings; its main targets are Transcendent beings of Sequence Seven and below."

That's why they set their sights on the list of prodigies.

After all, most of the geniuses on the list have not yet fully matured, and only the top thirteen have entered the sixth sequence.

Xu Lindong nodded slightly.

He turned his gaze to the depths of the manor and said in a deep voice, "Then let's make our move. I've already sensed one in the villa ahead. Leave that one to me."

"A clever kid."

The midnight thug smiled faintly, "I'll go take care of the one downstairs in the manor."

Beneath the manor, there clearly exists something far more evil and terrifying, as well as extraordinary beings.

Evil entities may be lurking there, making them even more difficult to deal with.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two exchanged a glance and their figures disappeared into the darkness at the same time.

Xu Lindong entered through the wall in his Night Wanderer state.

The midnight thugs simply vanished into the shadows with a flick of their wrists.

The two appear to be working together, but in reality, they are each wary of each other.

Xu Lindong was particularly wary of the other party.

In his memory, the only true expert in the sixth rank of the headquarters was Xie Yun, whose title was "Judge of a Hundred Ghosts".

The person in front of them was clearly not Xie Yun.

This person's origins are mysterious, and his actions are strange, so we should be careful.

However, it seems that the other party's goal is basically the same as his: to crack down on these scourges of the Federation and safeguard the interests of Xia Kingdom.

Since we share the same stance, it's fine to travel together for now.

Upon entering the manor, Xu Lindong did not hesitate; his body sank into the ground.

Land travel is what "mountains and rivers" are best at.

However, both "urban land" and "riverside land" possess this capability.

The manor is still within the town limits, and its underground location offers no obstacles.

He submerged into the soil, his presence immediately vanished, and his movements became even more stealthy.

Xu Lindong moved like a fish in water, quickly stealthily heading towards the giant villa in the center of the manor.

The villa is on the second floor of a manor.

Inside a spacious room with luxurious decor.

Field Kerman was choking a teenage girl with one hand, causing her eyes to roll back and making it difficult for her to breathe.

The long whip in her other hand lashed her youthful body like a torrential downpour.

The whip cracked as it struck, and patches of bright red swelling and bruising quickly appeared on the fair skin.

"Mmm~ Mmm!"

The girl sobbed painfully, but she suppressed her cries and dared not let out a sound.

Several young women were huddled in other corners of the room, trembling with fear, watching the scene unfold. No one dared to approach, and no one dared to flee.

After venting her twisted sadistic desires, the girl had completely lost consciousness.

Field released his grip, gave a cold laugh, and suddenly flipped his palm to cut out a card that glowed with an eerie light, then casually tossed it toward the girl's body.

The moment the card touched the skin, a grotesque, struggling soul was forcibly pulled from the body and quickly absorbed into the card.

The silhouette of a woman with a distorted face and a pained posture then appears on the card.

The body on the bed quickly lost its temperature and became completely cold.

The women who witnessed this scene were so frightened that they trembled violently and almost curled up into a ball.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my sweethearts."

Field turned around, a smirk on his face that he thought was elegant, and even bowed slightly in a pretentious manner.

"As long as you don't do anything wrong, I won't do anything to you."

After all—you beautiful young girls are a precious resource.

He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with a sickly light.

"I will only punish you when you make mistakes."

Until then—I will cherish you all and enjoy you all.

"After all, experiencing the emotional fluctuations of different people is a rare insight and enjoyment."

This will make my cards more complete, more realistic, and more powerful.

As he was speaking, he suddenly noticed a woman huddled in the shadows in the corner, her head bowed, showing no reaction to his words.

This unusual behavior immediately angered him.

"Catherine, can you hear me?!"

Field's voice suddenly turned cold: "Now lift your damn head up and crawl to me like a dog, at your master's beck and call."

Upon hearing this, the girl trembled slightly, but she didn't raise her head. Instead, she lowered her body and slowly crawled towards him.

"I said, lift your head up! You damn bitch!"

Field spoke slowly and deliberately, his anger growing, as he strode toward her, raising the whip in his hand.

Just as he got close.

The girl's back arched suddenly, and a dark, ghostly figure shot out from her body with a "whoosh," heading straight for Field's face!

Field's pupils contracted sharply.

He reacted extremely quickly, flicking his left hand downwards, and a blank card instantly unfolded.

The moment the card left my hand, it transformed into a semi-transparent, illusory shield, which stood perfectly in front of me.

The moment the ghostly figure collided with the shield, it was sucked in as if it were sinking into a quagmire.

The figure then rapidly shrank and twisted before being sealed inside the card.

"Clatter".

The card fell to the ground.

On the card, the blurry outline of a woman suddenly appeared; it was none other than the wandering ghost, Ah Piao.

"A wandering spirit? Who?!"

Field was startled and demanded an explanation.

The voice just fell.

A cold wind suddenly rose behind him, and a dark blue claw silently reached out, aiming straight for the back of his neck.

At the same time, a starving ghost with a bloated belly and a gaping maw appeared out of nowhere in front of us and lunged forward to bite us!

Two ghostly figures attacked from the front and the back!

It happened so fast that it appeared out of nowhere, as if it had appeared out of nowhere.

"Damn it!"

Field's eyes flashed with anger as a card slid out of his sleeve in an instant, gleaming brightly.

"laugh!"

The moment the headless demon claw grabbed his head, it pulled out a rough straw head.

At the same time, the starving ghost also bit off a clump of dry grass.

"Sizzle!"

The moment the scarecrow was torn to shreds, it transformed into a broken card, which fell to the ground with a thud.

Another figure appeared at the doorway.

It was Field.

At this point, he had taken off all his upper clothing, leaving only a pair of shorts.

He tried to pull the doorknob with all his might, but the door wouldn't budge.

"not good!"

Field's expression changed drastically, a strong sense of crisis gripping him like a thorn in his side.

He flipped his left hand quickly, and another card was about to be released.

laugh!

A sharp blade of light suddenly appeared, precisely slicing through his right arm.

My arm felt cold.

His severed arm, which was holding the card, fell to the ground, blood spurting out, and excruciating pain shot through him.

"ah!!"

Field screamed in agony, and as soon as the blood hit the ground, the floor beneath his feet suddenly softened and caved in!

At the same time, a pair of dark blue ghost claws burst from the ground, clamping tightly on his ankles, and a chilling death aura rapidly spread along his legs.

What shocked him even more, causing his pupils to shrink, was that a figure had silently emerged from the ground opposite him.

The man's figure was blurry, seemingly wearing an indistinct mask. His aura was elusive and difficult to pinpoint. Two scrapers in his hands gleamed coldly as he steadily approached him.

An extremely strong sense of threat suddenly exploded!

It's as if death is approaching!

"A warrant from the King of Hell!?"

The corresponding message immediately flashed into Field's mind.

He let out a scream of disbelief and terror.

His still-intact left hand suddenly pulled a scarlet card from his sleeve.

The moment the card appeared, it burst forth with a blinding crimson light, instantly enveloping his body.

Field seemed to melt into the red light, and the ghostly claws that had been gripping his ankles suddenly grasped nothing.

His body, trapped in the ground, simultaneously transformed into a burst of bloody light.

A flash of red light, and it was about to disappear completely from the room.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Haven't you been looking for me?"

A cold snort suddenly rang out.

The entire room was suddenly enveloped in a golden-red glow, the ceiling shrank downwards, and two ancient phantoms appeared on the surfaces of the doors and windows at the same time.

The left door god is Yu Lei, and the right door god is Shen Tu!

The whole room seemed to come alive; the walls, floors, doors, and windows began to fold and shift in a strange way, like a giant Rubik's Cube slowly turning.

This is the power of "urban land" taking effect!

However, the red light did not disappear. Instead, under Field's control, it condensed into a blood-red fork, changed direction, and stabbed at Xu Lindong, who was wielding two swords, at an astonishing speed!

A deadly threat is looming!

Xu Lindong's pupils contracted; the red cross came too fast, almost sealing off all room for evasion.

At this critical moment.

The phantom of Yu Lei on the door suddenly waved his hand.

A phantom reed rope shot out from the air and precisely wrapped around the red cross!

Almost simultaneously, the phantom of Shen Tu roared and swung his halberd fiercely.

A sharp, halberd-like shadow slammed into the fork!

The red cross suddenly stopped in mid-air.

It's now!

Xu Lindong's eyes sharpened, and he instantly crossed his short swords.

The mother vessel and the daughter vessel overlap at this moment.

Behind him, in the shadowy gray-brown evil domain, a third figure quietly emerged.

That's Eugene Kerman, holding the fertility device!

Three scrapers, three generations of descendants appearing together.

The power of the Mother Artifact was pushed to its peak at this moment.

Xu Lindong slashed down with his sword!

"call!"

The blade flashed like a blood-red thunderbolt, tearing through the air.

The red light that had condensed into a sharp fork in mid-air was instantly cut in two.

The last rays of light faded, leaving behind a broken, scarlet card that fell to the ground with a "thud".

"ah!!"

Field's figure suddenly fell from the red light, letting out a shrill scream.

One of his legs was severed at the root and slammed to the ground, dripping with blood.

The ground was instantly soaked in scalding blood.

He barely managed to support his body with one leg, but in that instant his face twisted like a demon, his eyes fixed on Xu Lindong who was right in front of him, and his left hand suddenly flipped over.

A pitch-black card suddenly appeared!

The moment the card appeared, Field's extraordinary energy surged to its peak.

It even made the surrounding air seem to freeze.

Xu Lindong's pupils suddenly contracted, a strong sense of crisis piercing his spine like an ice pick, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

This black card is extremely dangerous!

He had almost exhausted all his tricks at this moment, but he never expected that the card master in front of him, who was at the seventh rank, would still have such a trump card.

The opponent didn't fight him physically or with pure supernatural power, but instead used a variety of bizarre supernatural cards.

He himself was unable to kill the opponent quickly.

Now—it's his turn to be in danger!

The moment the black card was activated, it seemed to emit a black light.

The entire room, shrouded in black light, began to distort and collapse.

The walls, the floor, the ceiling, and the terrified girls huddled in the corner...

Everything seemed to be being pulled and flattened by an invisible force, rushing madly toward the floating black card.

On the surface of the card, a distorted reflection of the room began to appear simultaneously, revealing the figures of the girls.

It was as if this card, once played, would devour the entire house.

All life within it was completely sealed inside!

A deadly sense of oppression suddenly overwhelmed them like a tidal wave.
