Excessive ferocity due to caution

Old tree, dusky crow.

The dead tree was still as it had been when it arrived, baring its fangs and claws, with a bizarre shape.

But the smell of rust was no longer in the air.

The thick fog also disappeared.

The car drove slowly along the road, neither too fast nor too slow.

Warehouse Ghost operated the steering wheel with one hand and handed Zhao Yi a tattered document with the other.

"It was found in a hidden dark room somewhere underground in the steel factory."

Zhao Yi picked up the document and flipped through it. Besides many symbols he couldn't understand at all, he also found some thought-provoking personal notes at the end of the document...

...

Do the legendary children of gods really exist?

Can it truly bring hope to this world...?

As the experiment progressed, everyone's enthusiasm only increased, becoming more and more fervent and even frenzied...

Someone as clear-headed as me seems like an oddity among them!

And for some reason, lately my colleagues have been looking at me strangely... it's kind of creepy.

[I hope... I'm just overthinking it!]

Seven years ago, the church gave us the blueprints and assigned us one last task.

Since then, we have received no further information about the church, nor any new instructions...

It seems... we've been abandoned.

...

"The Son of God...the Church..."

Zhao Yi's gaze was deep as he pieced together the information he had previously found in his mind.

"Is it the Church of the Skull?"

"Was all their previous experiments for this 'Child of God'?"

Zhao Yi didn't know what the Child of God was.

But it feels really weird...

As everyone knows,

Satan cannot manifest in a church, and God will never rise from his grave.

Something summoned from such a cruel and insane foundation... could never be a warm-hearted man bathed in light.

That's a really interesting clue.

Zhao Yi closed the book and tossed it into his inventory.

Warehouse Ghost turned off the rap playing in the car and glanced somewhat awkwardly at Zhao Yi in the rearview mirror.

"By the way... last time you mentioned you were going to Zili Village?"

Zhao Yi slightly raised her head:

"Yes, that's right."

"A friend's daughter lives there, but he can't leave, so I have to go and help look for her."

The warehouse ghost was silent for a moment, then rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette.

"Can you do me a favor?"

Zhao Yi's heart skipped a beat.

The mission has begun.

"you say."

The warehouse ghost took a deep breath and slowly said:

"I have a very important statue of a deity that I left in Zili Village. If you're going there, could you please help me find it?"

The night wind blew in rapidly through the car window, and it was quite cold.

Zhao Yi was quite curious:

"Have you been to Zili Village before?"

The spark held between the warehouse ghost's fingertips trembled precariously in the darkness.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, and in the swirling smoke, he seemed to see some memories of the past.

I have lingering fears.

"...Back then, I hadn't been unsealed yet, and my consciousness was rather hazy. At that time, the station in Moye Village was still under construction. Some people transported me to Moye Village. Since there was no railway, they could only walk through the village via small paths..."

"Something strange happened when we passed through Zili Village..."

"The people who escorted me suffered heavy casualties and paid an extremely heavy price to escape from Zili Village!"

"That village...it's too eerie."

"There used to be a special statue in the box on my chest. I accidentally lost it in the village when I was escaping the strange creature."

As the warehouse ghost spoke, his eyes glazed over.

The cigarette had burned down to its fingers, but it seemed oblivious.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi asked:

"What does that statue look like?"

The warehouse ghost recalled the events carefully, a look of piety appearing on his face.

"...Its body is extremely robust and muscular, with muscles that exude an indescribable sense of power. Its body is covered with beautiful, totem-like tattoos. Because no one has ever seen its face clearly, it has no facial features. Its most distinctive feature is..."

"It's that statue...it has eight demonic arms!"

Zhao Yi listened to the warehouse ghost's account with a strange expression on his face.

Ok……

This description seems so familiar!

After thinking for half a second, Zhao Yi suddenly realized.

Isn't that just me?

The Darkest Personality was reborn in the battle with Blitzcrank, breaking through its previous limitations and growing eight arms!

Damn it... which bastard actually sculpted himself into a god statue?

They carved it, but they didn't even give it a proper face!

Damn it, a handsome guy like me has no other advantages besides being handsome. This stupid sculptor actually overlooked his greatest strength.

Zhao Yi, in a fit of vanity, had already mentally blacklisted this damned sculptor.

"We need to find this sculptor...hang him up and beat him up!"

Zhao Yi thought this seriously to himself.

However, he did not tell the warehouse ghost, but simply agreed that he would do his best to help it find the statue.

Moreover, Zhao Yi knew in his heart that the statue might not actually be a representation of him, since its darkest personality had only recently evolved into an eight-armed form.

This means that if the statue is not related to his lost memories, then it means that there is another being in this world with eight arms!

The warehouse ghost was extremely grateful and carried Zhao Yi back to Guxuan Town.

Instead of going straight back to the guild headquarters to rest and organize the spoils, Zhao Yi went to the airport first.

The workers were still drinking beer.

Upon seeing Zhao Yi, their expressions became more serious.

"I've taken care of things at the steel mill, and your apprentice is still alive."

Zhao Yi sat down on a pile of bricks opposite the old foreman.

The latter put down his beer bottle, stood up, and said to Zhao Yi:

"Thank you so much for your help."

"Although my apprentice is simple-minded and foolish, he is kind-hearted and pure-hearted. I'm counting on him to inherit my mantle in this lifetime..."

"As for the airport, we can start construction tomorrow. We're working day and night, so it shouldn't take long."

"It can take anywhere from three to five days to a month."

Because you rescued Xiao Ling, the apprentice of the old foreman Marlowe, Marlowe's favorability towards you has increased to "like".

When the system message arrived, Zhao Yi was not surprised.

He had Chen Fei deliberately keep an eye on Xiao Ling in order to gain Marlowe's favor.

"Okay, keep up the good work."

"Oh right... I remember there should be a captain and an airplane here, right?"

Zhao Yi casually inquired, and the world mission clearly stated that there was an airplane here.

But he came twice and didn't see it.

Marlow gulped down two mouthfuls of beer, then burped:

"Captain Wang Xuezhong is probably out drinking at the 'Wilderness Bar' again..."

"It's always like this."

"I used to come back and visit every week or two."

"But I haven't seen it in the last two months... I wonder where it's been gallivanting off to..."

P.S.: Thank you to the two amazing gifts from Shu Mou.

Let me emphasize again, please don't spend money on gifts; just give something free.

The author is usually very busy and rarely checks the gift rankings, so there's no time to express gratitude!

Thank you to everyone who has supported NightCrazy all this time, thank you for your companionship!

I'll write 5000 words today, take a rest tonight, and fight again tomorrow. We're about to start the Zili Village dungeon, so I'll write a detailed outline tomorrow morning!

Good night!!!
