It's time to become an evil god.

He shook his head, refusing the cup of water offered for washing feet, saying, "I'm sorry, brides in our area don't drink alcohol at weddings."

"What else would you drink if not alcohol?"

Bai Ge said seriously, "Drink paraquat."

Bai Ge tightly gripped the small metal ball in his hand. It wasn't as sturdy as he had imagined. With a squeeze, it shattered with a snap, and a tingling electric sensation spread from his palm throughout his body.

【Name: Electronic Emergency Call Device】

[Quality: Single-use item]

[Special Effect: Can summon steel-derived illusions in one go]

[Note: What's wrong? Try to struggle a little longer.]

Suddenly, the calm water began to tremble. The pale arms floating on the surface seemed to sense danger and sank into the water, disappearing without a trace. The once stagnant River of the Underworld was stirred up, instantly surging with monstrous waves. The coffin, like a lone boat, tossed and turned, and the wine cup in the bride's hand clattered into the River of the Underworld, vanishing without a trace.

Even the tentacles wriggling on the distant building sensed the threat and began to feel uneasy. A bright ray of light tore through the dark world and began to ripple on the still, undisturbed surface of Bai Ge's sleep, as if something was about to emerge from it.

A pair of illusory steel wings, crackling with pale electricity, slowly rose from the water, standing like a towering wall illuminating the darkness. Then, the steel wings slowly unfolded, the light piercing through the darkness, and a three-headed steel dragon appeared before them, letting out a terrifying roar that changed the very color of the heavens and earth.

The moment the metal wings unfolded, towering waves surged, and rays of light pierced through the dense darkness above.

Even the red-clad ghost bride asked uneasily, "You, what exactly are you?"

"You don't even know it? It's obviously an old guy who's not from the 90s."

Bai Ge explained in a serious tone, "This thing is clearly MetalGreymon from Digimon."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shockwave of lightning flashed from the mouth of the three-headed steel dragon.

Three beams of light, filled with death and destruction, shot out from the mouth of the steel-toothed dragon, instantly engulfing the bridal sedan chair in the annihilating white light. The destructive shockwaves struck the writhing tentacles in the distance.

The illusion of the steel dragon lasted for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating. However, the entire River Styx was churning with scorching heat and billowing blood, as if the ghosts hiding in the water had also met with misfortune.

The large red sedan chair, struck by the destructive shockwave, was shattered in half, with dark red blood continuously seeping from it.

The curtains of the bridal sedan chair were torn to shreds, and the red veil was burned, revealing a face filled with resentment and anger.

The ghost bride sat in the bridal sedan chair, staring intently at Bai Ge, yet dared not approach. Her hideous and terrifying pale face resembled that of an evil spirit from the underworld, her face filled with resentment and hatred, as if she wanted to remember him forever.

A moment later, the paper figure lifted the tattered red sedan chair and slowly retreated. The eerie sounds of gongs, drums, and suonas rang out again, like funeral music.

The ghost bride's sedan chair transformed into a large vermilion coffin, the lid of which was slowly closing. Beneath the eerie vermilion coffin, the face of a deathly pale woman with wide, resentful eyes was coldly watching Bai Ge outside through the gap in the coffin lid for the last time.

With a snap.

The vermilion coffin was completely sealed, and the surrounding mist grew thicker and thicker until it finally engulfed the eerie coffin.

A blinding light flashed by, and countless bizarre and fantastical images flashed before Bai Ge's eyes like a revolving lantern.

The beheaded girl in white walked towards the depths of the vast Han River. Tentacles, hidden in the black mist, and wooden boats rowing towards the depths of the Seventy-Two Maidens Mountain disappeared into the misty mountains.

Finally, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the coffin.

Xi Zeliang and Wen Liang rushed over immediately to check the situation.

"Are you OK?"

Xi Zeliang quickly asked, "Fortunately, the electronic emergency call device can sense you even if your consciousness is stripped away and you are trapped in some strange place, and pull you back."

"I……"

Bai Ge swayed as he stood up, sorted through his jumbled memories, and his expression instantly changed.

Xi Zeliang helped Bai Ge out of the coffin, but Bai Ge grabbed his hand and said in a serious tone, "Go find the village chief and that bespectacled man. They definitely know the secret about the Nuo God's Suspended Palace!"

"Ok?"

Before Xi Zeliang and Wen Liang could speak, Bai Ge gave a detailed account of his experience, which resembled walking into the underworld.

After listening, Wen Liang fell into deep thought. "In that case, it seems that the people from Li's Mining Group aren't here to explore the mineral vein at all, but have other motives. But we have no evidence, and if they don't tell us..."

You can rest assured about that.

Bai Ge stood up and walked quickly towards the exit of the mortuary. He turned his head and said with a smile, "I'm the kind of man who has watched the entire series of Geng's torture device making videos on Bilibili."

Chapter Thirty-One: The Nuo God, a Monster

The village of Laohuai was far from peaceful tonight. The discovery of three headless corpses that had drifted ashore on a boat had become the talk of the village.

Moreover, the villagers heard that three ferocious water monkeys had also come ashore, and curiosity drove more and more people to the riverbank.

In many villages, children were left at home by their parents, warned not to go out, and especially not to go to the riverbank.

The entire Laohuai Village suddenly fell silent. Enveloped in the deep darkness of the night and the shadowy, towering mountains, a chilling atmosphere permeated the air. Combined with the eerie feeling of the sparsely populated, deep forest, the village became exceptionally tranquil and silent.

Under the quiet moonlight, one could occasionally hear the barking of dogs and the howling of owls in the distance.

Suddenly, all the barking stopped.

It was as if all the village dogs were so frightened that they hid and dared not utter a sound.

Several cars with out-of-town license plates were parked on the village's basketball court. The village chief's house next door was brightly lit, and a body covered with a white sheet was placed in the main hall. A commotion came from the courtyard. Several villagers with grief-stricken expressions surrounded the village chief and a young man in a suit. Even the village committee members came.

The young man in the suit frowned and impatiently held up a few fingers, instantly silencing the previously noisy villagers. The others nearby, seeing the exorbitant compensation figure, were filled with envy, wishing their own sons had been killed instead.

"Secretary Lü."

The village chief bowed and scraped, adopting a fawning posture, showing no sign of grief over his son's recent death. A glint of greed flashed in his eyes as he whispered, "The complex waterway leading into the underground palace of the Seventy-Two Goddesses Mountain has been explored."

"Ah."

Secretary Lü nodded, flipping through the book in his hand, and said, "No rush. The terrain inside the Suspended Palace is complex, the water flow is rapid, the situation is unclear, and there are many undercurrents and whirlpools. In addition, there are a large number of floating corpses that have accumulated inside over the years, so it is easy to encounter ghost walls inside. Boss Li has already hired a professional team to handle it. Tomorrow, we will go in according to the waterway map we retrieved from the corpses."

boom.

A huge black figure crashed through the wall, flashed past, and rushed directly into the village chief's yard, slamming into the wall.

After the dust settled, everyone could see that only half of the black SUV that had been parked outside was exposed, while the other half was completely submerged in the living room.

The gate was kicked open, and the three people who had left the village earlier returned and stood in front of him.

Secretary Lü, dressed in a suit and tie, gritted his teeth in hatred. He had been watching the three men's movements ever since they left the village, but he hadn't made things difficult for them since they chose to leave. Secretary Lü asked coldly, "It's you again. Who exactly are you people?"

"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you."

Secretary Lü adjusted his glasses and, with a serious expression, began to play the straight man, "Since you're Team Rocket, there's no need for further pleasantries. Since you won't reveal your identities, then I'll..."

"Ahhhhhh! It's come back to life! It's come back to life!"

A sharp, terrified wail came from behind them. Secretary Lü and the village chief turned around abruptly and saw that the headless corpse covered with a white cloth had somehow gotten up from the mat.

Xi Zeliang raised his hand, and ripples appeared in the surrounding air.

[Skill Name: Steel Modification]

[Type: Manufacturing]

[Special Effects: Able to control metal objects around themselves, and even create artificial mechanical creatures with metal bodies]

[Consumes 10% of own battery]

[Note: Once this skill is activated, it will immediately send the opponent to meet the martial arts candidate appointed by the Emperor in the 31st year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign.]

The SUV, which had crashed into the wall, was pulled, disassembled, and dismantled into countless metal parts by a mysterious force. These metal parts were then visibly glued to the headless corpse, and a crude chainsaw fan, pieced together from the stainless steel frame of the car body, was forcibly installed on its chest, occupying its entire upper body. A small engine was also strapped to its back. Except for its two legs, its upper body had been forcibly transformed into a steel machine monster, resembling a mechanical army created by Frankenstein.

The exhaust pipe overhead roared, and the sharp chainsaw blades began to spin. The bulky monster walked step by step to the door, motionless. The chainsaw blades, capable of shredding everything, spun continuously, yet gave off a strong sense of oppression.

"I've blocked the door for you."

Ryo Nishizawa said, "Pretend you didn't see anything from now on, no matter what you do."

Bai Ge nodded and went outside to push out a strange reclining trolley.

However, the cart's head is connected to a fixed bucket, and it's covered with a bunch of electronic devices, giving it a creepy feel reminiscent of props from the movie "Saw".

"This is called an automatic upside-down hair washing machine. It's a hair washing tool that I improved based on the invention of Geng, the Minister of Justice on Bilibili."

Bai Ge specially brought an inflatable female Guiva from the house of Old Man Wang, a single man next door, to demonstrate.

"First, secure the person to the platform, then press the lifting device. The platform will automatically tilt and insert your head upside down into the fixed bucket of water. After filling the bucket with water to submerge your head, turn the rotating device at the bottom..."

With a loud crack, half of the inflatable female avatar's head was sliced ​​off by the sharp blades spinning in the water, and she instantly shriveled up.

Village Chief & Secretary Lü: (〃?A?)('?д?`)

Bai Ge scratched his head and quickly explained, "But there's no Kansai. These are all normal malfunctions of the shampoo machines. Which of you two would like to go first? You can rest assured that Mr. Wang Duoyu, the richest man in China, has stated that he has invested in this project."

This is utterly absurd! Have you ever seen someone shave half their head off while washing their hair? This thing looks like one of the Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Qing Dynasty! Who but the Eastern Depot would invest in this project?

At that moment, even Wen Liang and Xi Zeliang, who were standing to the side, glanced at Bai Ge again, feeling that this guy might be a disciple who had received the true teachings of Jigsaw.

"Oh, right."

Bai Ge countered, "I remember Secretary Lü saying earlier that we wouldn't reveal our identities, so what are you planning to do? If you're not satisfied, I have a deadly treadmill here for you to consider?"

"No need, I would never betray my boss."

Secretary Lü's lips twitched. He took a deep breath, loosened his tie, adopted a death-defying attitude, forced a smile, and said with unwavering resolve, "But I can tell all the information to the three of you without reservation."

"..."

He considered for a moment and slowly said, "Someone has asked our boss, Li Xianfu, to help find the Nuo God Immortal Shell hidden in the Seventy-Two Niangniang Mountains. I heard them say that the Nuo God Immortal Shell is real and has remained in an immortal state deep within the earth's veins for thousands of years."

“The Nuo god is not an inanimate object, but a monster.”

Chapter Thirty-Two: Do ​​you have any last words to say?

"An immortal monster?"

The three of them couldn't help but think of the title of the third stage mission: Slaying the Evil God. Could it be that the final mission was for them to kill this Nuo God who had turned into a monster? Wouldn't that make Bai Wugou Niangniang just an unnecessary plot device?

This isn't in the river.

Bai Ge noticed the complicated look in Xi Zeliang's eyes. He shook his head firmly and said, "No, Lady Bai Wugou must be hiding the script or some key information, but we don't have enough information right now. We have to enter the inner palace of Lady Bai's Mountain to find out the answer."

Secretary Lü dared not conceal anything and obediently handed over the water route map. After receiving the detailed map, the three nodded and prepared to enter the suspended palace hidden in the deep mountain canyon.

Secretary Lü and the village chief exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped a disaster. Finally, they didn't have to lie on that terrifying torture device to be tortured.

The village chief touched his bald head with a sense of relief. If he had been tied up, his skull would have been shaved off.
