Throwing a steel coil at supersonic speed with one hand, you let me travel through the heavens!

Either the "future self" has never encountered a cult of deification.

Either Yang Xi published some apocalyptic information on an anonymous website, leading to an increase in survivors, or he founded the so-called Steel Scroll Cult, resulting in the emergence of a Deification Cult on the "opposite side".

He instinctively wanted to wake Yang Xi and ask her if she knew anything about the Divine Transformation Sect, but seeing that the girl was sleeping soundly, he hesitated for two seconds and gave up on waking her.

"Forget it, we have three days anyway, and it's almost dawn, let's talk about it in the morning."

Wei Qingzhou closed his eyes, forcing himself to take a short nap.

early morning.

When Yang Xi woke up, she found herself clinging to Wei Qingzhou's arm like a koala. Her cheeks flushed instantly, turning red all the way to her ears.

"Did you sleep well?"

While resting, Wei Qingzhou keenly noticed that the girl had woken up.

"Um...that..."

She quickly sat up straight, frantically tidying herself up as she asked, "Are your arms sore?"

"good."

Wei Qingzhou shook his head in reply.

In fact, his left arm was completely numb.

"That's good then."

"Ah... I'll still give you... a massage... since you've been using it as a pillow all night."

With a flushed face, Yang Xi began massaging Wei Qingzhou's arm without saying a word.

Wei Qingzhou didn't refuse, enjoying the girl's massage, and casually asked, "Do you know about the Divine Cult?"

"A religion of deification?"

Yang Xi thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Never heard of it."

Never heard of it?

Wei Qingzhou's heart sank slightly.

This means that the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; we know nothing about the enemy and have no intelligence whatsoever.

We don't know how many enemies there are, what weapons they use, or even whether they are human!

Is this force a purely human organization, or is there evil mixed in with it?

"Since the name contains the word 'cult,' it's likely something created by humans, but in the Cthulhu Apocalypse, anything can happen," Wei Qingzhou secretly speculated.

"The most important thing is that we don't know where the enemy's main base is, so we can't take the initiative to attack and can only defend passively. It's too frustrating."

"Furthermore, judging from the mission details, this doesn't seem like an encounter battle. The other side clearly knows something about the Steel Scroll Cult and harbors extremely strong hostility, indicating that there might still be a traitor within the cult!"

This is a bit tricky.

or……

润？

"Yang Xi!"

He suddenly stood up, stretched his left arm which was gradually regaining sensation, and said to the girl, "Announcing the prophecy again, tell the followers that evil spirits will attack in three days, and instruct everyone to set up defenses at the main entrances and exits of the villa area and strengthen vigilance."

"In addition, select a few believers you absolutely trust and have them pay close attention to the reactions of others, and report any unusual activity to you immediately."

"Remember, don't make a big fuss; just keep an eye on things discreetly."

Yang Xi nodded and did as instructed without the slightest hesitation.

An hour later.

All the believers gathered again on the lawn in front of the detached villa.

Yang Xi stood at the main entrance and announced the new prophecy to the public.

"The saintess has performed another miracle!"

"Long live the Holy Maiden! Long live the Cult Leader!"

"An evil spirit is attacking in three days. What should we do? Should we abandon the villa area and move to another location?"

"Where to move to? The streets are full of evil spirits and demons, where is there any pure land left?"

"Didn't you listen to Her Majesty's orders? We need to set up defenses and prepare to hold out to the death."

"Defend our homeland! Defend our homeland!"

The congregation chanted in unison, with fervor and devotion.

The second floor of the villa.

A boy stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, using two fingers to separate the slats of the blinds, looking down at the reactions of everyone on the lawn.

"No 'abnormal' behavior means there's no mole? Or... is he hiding deeper than I thought!" Wei Qingzhou frowned, then smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter, I have a second trick up my sleeve."

He withdrew his gaze, opened the mission panel, and silently observed the mission details.

……

On the other side, there's Bacheng University Town.

The girl, who was sitting on the rooftop swinging her legs, stretched out her hand again, and a drill-shaped flagellate worm crawled up to her.

After receiving the information with her eyes closed, she couldn't help but sneer: "I didn't expect that after so many days, the useless saintess would make a prediction again, and it's quite accurate."

She held the drill flagellate between her fingertips and casually kneaded it like playdough.

"But she actually called us evil spirits? Hah, how ridiculous! We are the new humans chosen by the gods, the survivors of natural selection, while they are the heretics who reject divine grace!"

The drill-shaped flagellate worm squeaked as she squeezed it.

The girl loosened her grip, letting the object crawl back into her ear. A sinister smile crept across her face. "Fine, you predicted three days from now, huh? I'll disregard your prediction. I'll wipe you all out in two days, a day early, to catch you completely off guard!"

On the university campus playground, numerous evil spirits and malevolent entities seemed to sense their master's emotional changes, raising their heads and emitting howling cries.

……

Villa area.

Two hours later, Wei Qingzhou, who had been staring at the mission panel, changed his expression.

The "three days later" in the mission details has been changed to "two days later"!

He raised an eyebrow.

Things have definitely changed!

This means there must be a mole within the Steel Scroll Cult!

He immediately instructed Yang Xi to gather the followers together, count their numbers, and check them one by one to see if anyone had secretly slipped away after announcing the prophecy or had any unusual behavior.

After verifying the information, Yang Xi returned and shook his head: "No one is missing, and there's no unusual behavior."

Wei Qingzhou took a coin out of his pocket and twirled it as he pondered.

"No believers left the villa area to inform the enemy, but the enemy still found out about the prophecy and changed the attack time from three days to two days."

"Moreover, two hours have passed since Yang Xi announced the prophecy, which means that the other party only learned about the news two hours later."

"A cell phone is out of the question; there's no signal since the apocalypse. Walkie-talkies have too short an effective range, and other wireless devices are also impossible—after all, what wireless device would take two hours to transmit a message?"

"An evil thing!"

He quickly pieced together all the clues and then locked onto the answer: "The other party can control inconspicuous small evil creatures to infiltrate the villa area and eavesdrop on intelligence!"

Humans or evil spirits capable of controlling evil entities?

This conclusion made Wei Qingzhou's heart sink.

"We need to drag the enemy out from the shadows."

Wei Qingzhou pondered for a moment, then turned to the girl beside him and said, "Yang Xi, could you please announce another piece of news in front of everyone?"

He leaned close to Yang Xi's ear and whispered a few words.

Yang Xi smiled slightly, stepped onto the lawn, and loudly proclaimed, "The leader has ordered me to deliver a message to a certain rat hiding in a dark corner!"

"The leader said—I know you can hear me, and I know you changed the attack time from three days later to two days later! You call yourselves a deified cult, claiming to be followers of God, are you just a bunch of cowards who only know how to hide in dark corners and eavesdrop, too afraid to even show your faces?"

Yang Xi paused, then her voice suddenly rose, her tone filled with provocation and pride:

"What kind of skill is hiding? Come out and fight me one-on-one!!"
