Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

"Can prestige put food on the table? What Lolo values ​​are the crystals in their pockets and the experience packs that can be exchanged for fear points."

Jiang Luo casually pulled out a strawberry lollipop from the pocket of her pleated skirt, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth. Two strands of hair sticking up and down on her white hair twitched as she walked.

"We've got the stuff, there's no need for us to keep blowing in the cold wind in this godforsaken place that's all mud."

Lin Xiao dragged his battered body covered in stitches at the back of the line, his pale eyes darting around before he asked for directions in a hoarse voice.

"Jiang Luo, where do we go next?"

As a mysterious being taken in by Jiang Luo and brought back to Red Moon Castle, Lin Xiao's memories are still stuck in the past.

She had no idea what would happen in the days to come.

But she knew that following Jiang Luo was the way to go.

It’s right.

"No rush, there's a big liar in white waiting for Lolo to settle accounts with him outside. Once we get out of this wretched place, Burial Canyon, Lolo will take you home."

Jiang Luo reached into her small pocket and touched the heavy, dark blue ancient crystal. A hint of malice and cunning immediately crept onto her smile.

"Since that guy Shen Wandi wants to use us as pawns, Luo Luo would be doing a disservice to her invincible and supreme status if she didn't dismantle his church and sell it for scrap metal."

Holding a thick black investigation notebook, Yun Yi quickly caught up and expressed his concerns.

"My lord, the fact that the human Shen Wandi was able to establish a church in a place like Burial Canyon, where strange things abound, means that he must have some extraordinary trump cards up his sleeve."

"If he were simple, Lolo wouldn't even want to hang out with him."

Jiang Luo kicked aside a piece of broken skull blocking his path with his foot, which was clad in black leather shoes, and led the high-ranking, bizarre team behind him directly onto the wasteland path leading away from the vortex of death.

"Shadow and Big Bear have been camped out in their backyard all day. Let's go over there now and take them all out at once."

……

At the same time.

Deep in the Valley of Mass Graves.

The great hall of the Church of Burning Heaven, built of ancient megaliths, was filled with a pungent smell of burning flesh and blood.

Hundreds of human believers, clad in black robes and covered in large and small bluish fleshy growths, knelt on the cold stone floor, chanting in unison prayers that sounded incoherent.

Shadow was wrapped in a large, tattered black robe, which completely covered his thin body and the worn-out S-class teddy bear in his arms.

He stood in the shadow of a thick, load-bearing pillar in the far corner of the main hall, his dark eyes, so unlike those of ordinary humans, coldly staring at the steps above.

A cult leader's deputy, dressed in a gray robe, stood on a high platform surrounded by corpse oil candles, raising his hands high and splashing blood-smelling talismanic water onto the fanatical humans below.

"The great cult leader has found the key to breaking the laws of despair in this world. As long as we offer our souls and blood to the gods, everyone can return to a real world free of these strange phenomena!"

Upon hearing these words, the believers below became as if possessed, frantically banging their heads against the hard stone floor, even as their foreheads bled.

"They've lost their minds."

Shadow lowered his head and whispered something to the dirty teddy bear in his arms in a voice only he could hear.

The teddy bear's red, button-made eyes gleamed slightly in the shadows, and a few dull, sawing teeth sounds emanated from its furry belly.

"Mom said we should stay here and keep a good watch, and then cause trouble for these bad guys when she comes."

The shadowy little hand pinched the patched ears of the teddy bear twice, while the black shadow that no one noticed at its feet was silently spreading into the depths of the ground along the cracks in the floor tiles.

After being enhanced by the power of Jiangluo Abyss, his ability to control shadows allowed him to easily penetrate seemingly solid stone floors and isolation formations.

As the shadows that spread down the ground touched the third underground level, the little hand hidden in the sleeve of the shadow couldn't help but tighten slightly.

Beneath his shadow's perception, dozens of large bronze cages, cast in black blood, were neatly arranged.

Each iron cage contained a high-ranking, eerie lord whose aura had weakened, and some of them were even old monsters from the canyon whose strength had reached SS level.

The primal power within those strange creatures was being completely drained by the array beneath the iron cage, flowing directly through the dense network of blood-red pipes underground towards the tightly sealed door to the innermost chamber of the main hall.

"It turns out the person in white was stealing food from other evil spirits."

Shadow rested his chin on the teddy bear's head, and immediately recalled the words Jiang Luo had previously told him.

"If Mom saw that so many delicious things had been stolen, she would be so angry that she would smash the whole floor."

The gray-robed lieutenant standing on the high platform was still waving his arms vigorously, spitting as he described the illusion of leaving the bizarre world to the group of thoroughly brainwashed believers below.

"In just one more night, the Master's Transcendence Array will be completely perfected. At that time, all the strange monsters that do not belong to our world will become nourishment for the array!"

Upon hearing this, the hundreds of believers kneeling below immediately let out beast-like howls, and several believers with extremely large tumors on their bodies even began to frantically tear at their arms.

Looking at the group of madmen around him who could no longer be considered normal humans, Shadow secretly reached into his pocket for the jade spatial anchor that could communicate one-way with Jiang Luo.

He had just poured a sliver of shadow power into the jade when a dull thud came from the tightly closed back door of the main hall.

The once noisy prayers in the hall seemed to be suddenly cut off by something cold, and everyone lowered their heads to the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Shen Wandi, dressed in a clean, pure white casual outfit, slowly walked out of the back door, with a small patch of thick, black blood still on his wrist that hadn't been completely wiped clean.

Shen Wandi raised his hand to interrupt the deputy who was about to step forward to pay his respects, and slowly swept his gaze over the hundreds of black-robed figures kneeling below.

"The commotion over at the Death Vortex has ended."

Shen Wandi's voice sounded very soft and gentle, but the content of his voice made the shadow standing in the corner pull the teddy bear in his hand even tighter into his arms.

"That little girl with the aura of the abyss is indeed quite capable; she actually managed to walk out of that pile of dead bodies."

Shen Wandi walked to the very edge of the platform, took out a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket, and slowly wiped away the strange filth remaining between his fingers.

"But she's probably walking towards us smugly right now, thinking she can trade the remaining stone for my things."

The long-robed lieutenant bent down and approached Shen Wandi, his voice filled with barely concealed greed and caution.

"Master, should we open the last few gates of the great formation now, and then close in once that white-haired little monster steps into the front yard?"

"No rush. Being able to devour a newly emerged Abyss Overlord is far more useful than those dozens of old-era trash imprisoned underground."

Shen Wandi casually tossed the dirty white handkerchief into the nearby brazier of corpse oil, watching as the flames roared up two feet.

"However, before we could greet that young Red Moon Lord, it seems a rather disobedient little mouse has entered our house."

The moment those words were spoken, the air around the thick, load-bearing pillar in the corner of the hall seemed to have been sucked out, becoming incredibly heavy.

Shen Wandi's eyes, which had originally looked peaceful and gentle, slowly turned around, and his gaze fell without error on the deepest part of the shadow hidden in the dark.

"Little kid hugging your teddy bear, everyone else's morning lessons are over, aren't you going to come out from behind the pillar and kowtow to the gods?"
