Those who reincarnate must die.

As the black flames rose, he returned to Sky City and checked the time. As before, exactly one hour had passed.

The messages Le Xinyi had sent earlier were still there. He glanced at them and immediately went back to meet up with Le Xinyi and Ye Peng to make some preparations.

"Hmm?" Seeing Zhang Lang's expression, Le Xinyi frowned. "You just went on a mission?"

Zhang Lang was slightly taken aback: "How did you figure that out?"

Le Xinyi smiled slightly and pointed to Zhang Lang's clothes: "They were still very neat this morning, but now there are many more signs of wear and tear and dirt..." As she spoke, she leaned closer: "Tell me, how many points did you get this time? Did you draw seven or eight prizes again?"

"No, the mission failed..." Zhang Lang answered honestly.

"Failed?" Yue Xinyi was stunned. "How is that possible? With your abilities, how could you fail at a task?"

"It won't happen again next time..." Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes.

"You don't need to promise me..." Yue Xinyi said with a smile, "Would you like to change into something else?"

Zhang Lang waved his hand: "No need!" He then took off his coat and handed it to Le Xinyi: "Just hold this for me for a bit..."

"Huh?" Le Xinyi subconsciously took it and found that the wear and tear on it was slowly healing... It's a self-repairing device? Then why do I have to hold it?

Le Xinyi shook her head and took out a coat from her handbag: "You should change into this. It's best to be covered up when attending a gathering."

As they were talking, Ye Peng walked over: "How's the packing going? Time to go!"

"Let's go now." Le Xinyi ran over and whispered, "What did you and Third Uncle say?"

"I told him we were going to take our classmates to check out the bars here..." Ye Peng laughed, "Uncle didn't suspect a thing!"

They weren't exactly lying; they did go to a bar at first, looking no different from other young people out partying. But they definitely weren't there to drown their sorrows; their real destination was a hotel across the street!

The gathering took place in the hotel's underground parking garage. The organizers seemed to have some connection to the hotel; starting at 9 PM tonight, they sealed off the three underground levels, turned off all surveillance cameras, and only those showing electronic invitations were allowed entry!

The three of them deliberately wore loose-fitting clothes to conceal their figures, and they also wore hoods and masks.

"Do we have to hide ourselves like this at gatherings?" Zhang Lang looked at the oversized trench coat he was wearing, which was a cloak-like garment that Le Xinyi had prepared for him in advance.

"Generally speaking!" Le Xinyi laughed. "After all, real life is very important to any reincarnator, and everyone is very careful to protect their identity in reality... Of course, I've also seen people who show themselves without any disguise; those are either newbies or experts who are extremely confident in their abilities!"

The three chatted casually in the bar, drinking one drink for several hours, until finally it was past midnight.

The three of them got up, casually pushed open the door and left, put on masks, crossed the street in the night, arrived at the hotel across the street, entered the elevator, and pressed the button for the third basement floor.

At the elevator entrance on the third basement level, masked people scanned a QR code to check the invitation. After the three confirmed their identities, they entered the empty parking garage and found that more than a dozen people had already arrived.

These people, like them, wore relatively loose clothing to conceal their faces. Some were in groups of three or five, chatting quietly; some sat alone in a corner, fiddling with folding knives; and others sat cross-legged against the wall, heads bowed, as if asleep.

The place was spacious, and the three of them found an empty spot to wait. The ground was cold, and there were no chairs or stools, but the reincarnators weren't that delicate; they stood or sat, completely unconcerned.

Soon, more people arrived, and the once empty gathering place began to liven up.

Most of these people were wearing masks or similar items. Zhang Lang tried activating his "Illuminating Eyes" and concentrating his attention. He was able to see through most of their masks, revealing their true faces. However, there were still some whose masks seemed to be made of a special material, making them impossible to see through.

After all, he's definitely not the only one among the Reincarnators with X-ray vision. These experienced Reincarnators would probably put some effort into their disguises, using heavy metals like lead, silver, and gold to make masks that can resist X-ray scanning to a considerable extent... at least enough to defend against Zhang Lang's piercing eyes.

Before long, a tall man wearing a tiger mask walked over, accompanied by several followers wearing wolf heads. Zhang Lang recognized one of them; he was the same man who had just checked their invitations, with the same build and clothing!

"He's the organizer of the gathering; everyone calls him Mr. Tiger!" Yue Xinyi whispered. "The profile picture in the group chat is also this tiger head mask, exactly the same!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiger announced, "Time's up. I've sealed off all the elevators and stairwells. Anyone who hasn't arrived is considered to have forfeited! Let's begin this gathering!"

Mr. Tiger didn't raise his voice intentionally or use any special pronunciation techniques; his tone was just like casual conversation. Yet, he was able to drown out the noisy crowd and deliver his voice to everyone's ears, even echoing throughout the underground parking garage...

To achieve such effortless control, without any apparent use of qigong or similar energy enhancements, and relying solely on his voice without any related modifications, his vocal cords and breathing abilities must be extremely strong, with exceptionally high fire and earth attributes! Zhang Lang estimated it to be at least over a hundred points!

A hero? Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes. A hero even more powerful than Grace and Santos, whom he had encountered before!

"Before the rally begins, I need to explain the reason for the last-minute change of plans!"

Mr. Tiger's eyes, hidden behind his mask, swept over the thirty or forty people present: "A friend of mine had an item with supernatural powers stolen. This thing is possessed by a terrifying evil spirit, and if it's not controlled, it could cause terrible consequences!"

As he spoke, Mr. Hu's staff distributed a document to everyone present, which contained a photo and description of the item.

"Please burn this information immediately after reading it!" Mr. Tiger said. "I believe that with your water-elemental abilities, remembering this information shouldn't be difficult for you!"

While it's more convenient to share this information in a group chat, it's best to avoid leaving any traces when dealing with supernatural items. Making a request in person and using paper documents is definitely a safer method.

"Now, on behalf of my friends, I'm issuing a reward to you all!" Mr. Tiger said. "Find what's on this and hand it over to me, and you'll receive a reward of 500 points. Providing reliable clues will also earn you 100 points! If the transaction amount is reached, it will be converted into cash at market price and paid out."

As they were talking, the documents were handed to Zhang Lang. Upon seeing them, his pupils contracted slightly.

Schnasen Bone Ring!

It was the very thing Ye Fei brought back that day!

When Mr. Hu described it just now, Zhang Lang had a vague suspicion, and now it has been confirmed.

"Besides being possessed by evil spirits, what other harm does this thing cause?" asked a tall, hooded reincarnator.

"Nothing has been found yet..." Mr. Tiger replied, "Supernatural items may have other effects depending on the holder's constitution, which has not yet been verified. However, based on the information recorded, the abilities of evil spirits are quite threatening. It is not recommended for reincarnators without supernatural abilities to come into direct contact with them."

"Can we guarantee that this thing is still in Sky City?" another petite woman asked, her voice seemingly altered by a voice changer.

"It's basically confirmed..." Mr. Tiger nodded, "We've deployed reincarnators with psychic abilities to guard the airport... and we haven't found any signs of evil spirits among the passengers leaving Sky City!"

Although the Space City has a considerable throughput, it only has one spaceport. According to the information, possessing the ring will attract evil spirits, which is a very noticeable feature for a reincarnator with the ability to see ghosts. It should be true.

Seeing that no one asked any more questions, Mr. Tiger snapped his fingers, and all the documents were burned to ashes.

Let's move on to the next topic.
