Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

The leave application for Jiang Zhengyi was approved without any surprises, so Qi Xie can now use the [Ghost Sword] to make a copy.

However, the reason Jiang Zhengyi was brought back with him was because the people from the Weird Special Operations Bureau said that Jiang Zhengyi's strength would be greatly reduced without the Ghost Sword after hearing that Qi Xie wanted to borrow it.

In addition, the Black Saint Guild had just ambushed Jiang Zhengyi, so Qi Xie was asked to bring Jiang Zhengyi along to prevent the Black Saint Guild from retaliating and launching a sneak attack while Jiang Zhengyi lost the Ghost Sword, since the Anxia Provincial Bureau was severely understaffed.

The words say so.

But Qi Xie knew very well that this was just an excuse!

When it came to borrowing the Ghost Sword, Jiang Zhengyi, being a simple-minded kid, readily agreed without hesitation.

But the people in the Weird Special Operations Bureau are all incredibly shrewd!

A weapon of this caliber, like the Ghost Sword, isn't something you can just borrow so easily.

Especially the person on the other end, who not only had experience playing honey traps with weirdos.

He even threatened Li Song to force him to buy goods at a discount.

There have even been outrageous incidents like selling Dior for cash!

In their view, the words of such a seemingly mentally unstable person were not very credible.

Therefore, they insisted on having Jiang Zhengyi accompany them for only one purpose: to keep an eye on things so that Qi Xie wouldn't cause any trouble and get swallowed up by the Ghost Sword.

"You treat me like a thief? Do you think I'm such a morally bankrupt person...?"

Qi Xie sighed helplessly.

At the same time, he began to think about whether he should give the inferior product created by [Imagination] to Jiang Zhengyi and secretly keep the genuine product for himself if the effect of [Imagination] was not good.

While pondering, he stroked his chin and glanced to the side.

Jiang Zhengyi was also looking at him, blinking his eyes brightly, revealing a sense of integrity while also carrying undisguised trust.

"Forget it, I'd feel so inhuman..."

Qi Xie coughed lightly and casually pointed to an empty guest room other than his own bedroom, saying:

"Go inside and wait for me. Don't come out until I let you out."

His "daydreams" are still at level C.

The Ghost Sword is clearly a second-level sealed artifact corresponding to the B-rank level.

To replicate the [Ghost Sword], you must first offer a sacrifice to the evil god and upgrade [Imagination].

"Okay!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Zhengyi randomly picked a guest room, entered, and closed the door.

Qi Xie did not rush to summon the evil god. Instead, he first closed the French windows and then turned off the living room chandelier, letting darkness envelop the entire living room and also swallowing his shadow.

Conversely, this is equivalent to his shadow merging into the darkness.

Om-!

Countless blood-red vertical eyes opened in the darkness, turning this natural, pure darkness into the master's domain and completely sealing off the living room.

"Sound and sight are blocked, and the sealing of [Qiying's Gaze] can also conceal my aura... This should be enough. Even if there is only one wall between us, Jiang Zhengyi will not be able to detect it. Even if he comes out, he will not be able to detect anything unusual before he breaks through my shadow."

Qi Xie pondered, tearing his fingertip apart to carve tentacles and a blood-red vertical eye surrounded by shadows on a deliberately left area of ​​the floor not covered by the blood-red vertical eye, while chanting the name of the revered one:

"Great Lord..."

As the lengthy prayer ended, darkness, like liquid, welled up from the pattern.

Qi Xie listened intently for a moment, and after confirming that Jiang Zhengyi was still in the room and had not noticed anything unusual, he was completely relieved.

At this moment, the eerie, slippery, grayish-white tentacles emerged from the shadows, and blood-red vertical eyes, imbued with madness and malice, surfaced from the tentacles and from the liquid shadows.

"My Lord."

Qi Xie lowered his head slightly:

"Your devout retinue begs for your grace, praying for an even more powerful [Daydreaming]. What offerings are needed to please you...?"

Based on Qi Xie's estimation of the evil god's current appetite, the sacrifice required to upgrade [Daydreaming] to B-rank would definitely exceed that of a dangerous-rank monster.

Although I only used one dangerous-level Midnight Student Ghost to redeem [Shadow's Gaze].

But as reason prevailed, the evil god's appetite grew ever larger.

"That's why I don't want to feed Him too much, to hasten His recovery..."

Qi Xie lowered his head and sighed silently.

But there was no way around it. The speed at which the strange forces were invading reality was accelerating, and the sense of crisis brought about by Li Chenggong's diary made him have an urgent desire to increase his power.

The only thing that reassured him was that he had gained a great deal this time, enough to support the great Lord.

Just as he was thinking.

The blood-red vertical eye that emerged from the shadows and tentacles spun around twice before suddenly looking at Qi Xie and scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"Sacrifice...the final...hunted...offering..."

"Um?"

Qi Xie was slightly taken aback at first.

According to the evil god, He seems to only need one prey?

This was something he hadn't expected.

While pondering, Qi Xie manipulated shadow tentacles to move a blackened refrigerator out of the shadows.

Inside is the last ferocious and bizarre creature he hunted in the "Ghost House" instance, the "Flesh Nightmare," which is skilled at attacking using projected flesh and blood behemoths.

Because this thing was fried to pieces and mixed with a refrigerator full of beef, Qi Xie simply moved the refrigerator back.

Anyway, evil gods don't have any dietary restrictions.

If you can gnaw on floor tiles, what's wrong with taking a couple of bites of the refrigerator?

The blood-red vertical eyes on the gray-white tentacles stared at the blackened, blasted refrigerator and suddenly froze in place, as if their brains had crashed.

After a long while, He slowly turned to Qi Xie.

A soft whisper sounded in my ear:

"That's not it……"

That's not it?

Qi Xie frowned slightly.

He was quite certain that this was the last truly bizarre thing he had ever hunted.

But what if the evil god wasn't talking about that?

The range of prey is probably no longer limited to the bizarre.

His latest prey should be that "Red-Eyed Demon".

The old man was riding a complete, eerie black phantom that was far more dangerous than a typical ferocious creature.

If we're really going to rank them, this old man, along with the black phantom inside his body, could be considered a little over one and a half dangerous and bizarre creatures.

This is in line with Qi Xie's expectations.

but……

"Cannibalism..."

Qi Xie murmured something softly.

He has always been reluctant to feed humans to evil gods, which is based on his understanding as a human being.

Of course, this, combined with his flexible moral bottom line, forms the standard of judgment: whether someone is human or not is up to me.

But this is the second time, apart from the time with Jia Yu, that the evil god has actively sought to eat people.

That time, Jia Yu fed the evil god two mantis legs, which caused the evil god's recovery progress to jump a lot and he became intelligent.

This time, with his rationality restored, the evil god actively chose his prey for the second time.

"really……"

Qi Xie said in a low voice:

"A pig that has gained intelligence will eat people..."
