It's time to become an evil god.

Bai Ge pondered for a moment, then resolutely stepped over the threshold, stepped in, then jumped back in, stepped in again, and jumped out again, repeating this several times while saying in a particularly sarcastic tone, "I jumped in, I came out again, hey, I came in again, hey, I came out again, if you're so capable, jump out and hit me."

"Be careful, little one."

Although Xi Zeliang was already used to Bai Ge's amazing actions, he still kindly reminded him, "It would be troublesome if there were any traps."

Bai Ge turned around and gave him an OK sign. "Don't worry, I'm the kind of man who can spread his wings like a roc in the face of death."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wen Liang and Xi Zeliang, who were looking at Bai Ge, both changed their expressions drastically.

Behind Bai Ge, a pale woman's head slowly emerged from the eerie darkness of the abyss.

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

The cold, bluish-green dead hand had somehow grabbed Bai Ge's ankle. Not only that, but another hand had also suddenly appeared and grabbed his shoulder. He could feel fingers wriggling on the back of his head, as if something was reaching out to touch the back of his head.

A chilling, eerie coldness swept over Bai Ge, sending shivers down his spine. Pale white fingers began to emerge from Bai Ge's entire body—from his cuffs and trouser legs to even his eye sockets, mouth, and deep throat—gripping his cheeks tightly.

"Everyone be careful!"

Bai Ge used his last bit of strength to remind his teammates, "This guy... is definitely the Thousand-Hand Guanyin."

Thousand-Hand Guanyin?

Nishizawa Ryo was terrified and looked uneasy. Although the Special Affairs Bureau's think tank team had analyzed the previously conducted dungeon missions and concluded that they were highly likely to encounter the legendary creatures later in the team mission game.

However, they are only level 5, and the game would never send them on a mission that would just lead to their deaths.

Nishizawa Ryo clenched his fist, realizing he still had one last trump card to save him from the legendary creature: the electronic restriction was lifted.

The revolutionary system modified by the Special Affairs Bureau can unleash the full potential of the mechanical heart, even forcibly creating a terrifying five-headed steel dragon in the absence of any metal material in the surrounding environment.

Xi Zeliang gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you sure the Nuo God is the Thousand-Hand Guanyin?"

"It can't be wrong!"

Bai Ge's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, and he said with certainty, "I saw this kind of method on a bus before. The Thousand-Hand Guanyin used sign language to start a verbal battle with a deaf-mute old man, making the old man so angry that he couldn't speak."

Before even Xi Zeliang and Wen Liang could react, Bai Ge disappeared into the darkness of the palace.

From the darkness came the sound of chains rattling and clanging, as if something was imprisoned deep within the underworld.

This was the first time Nishizawa Ryo had ever seen a player hunter who could spout nonsense with a straight face even when facing death.

Wen Liang asked urgently, "What should we do now?"

"I……"

pat, pat.

Slight footsteps sounded behind them, as if someone was coming up the steps. Xi Zeliang and Wen Liang turned around, and Professor Zhong, whom they had met briefly in the village, inexplicably appeared behind them.

Xi Zeliang and Wen Liang both showed wary expressions. As survivors who had survived the bloody and brutal killing instance, it was self-evident what kind of person this seemingly harmless Professor Zhong was.

However, the professor simply put his hands behind his back, with a disdainful expression, a stark contrast to his previous kind and humble demeanor. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the one among you who posed the greatest threat to me was dealt with by the Nuo God first, otherwise I would have had a real hard time dealing with him."

The White Brothers... pose the greatest threat to him?

Nishizawa Ryo asked warily, "Who exactly are you?"

"Sorry, I'm also a player hunter."

Professor Zhong pushed up his glasses, revealing a sly expression. "Didn't the dungeon quest tell you there was only one hunter team?"

Nishizawa Ryo was stunned for a moment, then thought to himself, "Oh no."

Previously, because the damage from teammates was blocked, I assumed that this was a mission completed through teamwork. I never expected that there was a hidden side story about who is the undercover agent!

"Fortunately, we followed you all the way here, and with the help of that wedding dress ghost, we were able to find out some information about the three of you players. This masked lady can not only use the katana at her waist, but also shatter anything she touches. As for you, you create magnetic fields to modify the surrounding metal objects."

Professor Zhong, who had been carefully hiding his identity, finally revealed his ID.

[Undying Skeleton - Bell Puppet LV6]

"And my ability is to transform the legion of the undead."

He waved his hand, and suddenly pairs of pale, ashen hands emerged from the calm River Styx. Corpses that had been submerged in the water for thousands of years climbed ashore and slowly walked toward the location of the Hanging Palace of the Underworld.

The water splashed open, and a huge monster slowly crawled out of the water and onto the shore. Its head had three faces with different expressions: a calm expression with a compassionate but emotionless look, a stiff and eerie smile like a dead man, and a ferocious and angry expression like a Vajra subduing demon.

"The three-headed Tibetan mentioned by the villagers?"

Nishizawa Ryo quickly realized what was going on and said angrily, "So it was you who was causing trouble all along!"

"That's right, including the nameless female corpse in the mortuary, it was all my arrangement."

Professor Zhong, feeling confident of victory, decided to reveal everything: "Since you're all going to the underworld soon anyway, I'll let you die knowing why. My mission is to stop you from killing the evil god and to obtain the [Ancient God's Umbilical Cord]."

Ancient God's Umbilical Cord?

Xi Zeliang seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned pale.

"Judging from his performance on the long-distance bus, your teammate should be a hunter who mainly focuses on the spirit system, and he happens to be the one who counters my abilities."

Professor Zhong kept his eyes fixed on Xize Liang, adopting a condescending attitude, and said, "I've eaten more salt than you two have eaten rice. Without teammates, you two think you can compete with me based on your physical damage output... Holy crap."

Suddenly, Professor Zhong slipped, lost his balance, and tumbled down the stairs, landing on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.

Both Xi Zeliang and Wen Liang were stunned. What was going on now?

The sharp-eyed Wen Liang immediately noticed that a banana peel had appeared out of nowhere on the steps that Professor Zhong had just stepped on.

"Strange, how come there's a banana peel here?"

Professor Zhong nearly broke his old bones. With a bruised and swollen face, he stood up and angrily cursed, "Which inconsiderate bastard threw banana peels on the steps!"

"You damn old bastard, you survived until the final round, but you finally couldn't resist showing your true colors."

A familiar voice came from the direction of the River Styx. The three looked over and saw Bai Ge emerge from the water and slowly walk up.

Behind him, a little girl with animal ears peeked out furtively, sticking out her tongue and making a face at Professor Zhong.

"Brother Bai?"

Xi Zeliang and Wen Liang's eyes lit up, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy may talk a lot of nonsense, but he's surprisingly reliable.

Bai Ge wiped the water stains off his face and said coldly, "I was wondering why I always seemed to run into you at just the right time, and why you always gave us hints when we were completely confused. From that moment on, I began to suspect that you had ulterior motives."

Professor Zhong said with a horrified expression, "How could you not be dead? I clearly saw you being killed by the Nuo God!"

"Yes, he was indeed killed."

Bai Ge shrugged, pulled a fishhook from under his fingernails, and said helplessly, "But the underworld has been deporting illegal immigrants recently. Since I can't provide a death certificate, I've been forced to be resurrected."

Chapter Thirty-Five: Let's go together, Mechagodzilla!

Professor Zhong noticed a thin fishing line extending from Bai Ge's body into the eerie underworld. He instantly understood and said, his face pale, "Could it be that the one before was a substitute, and the real you has been hiding underwater in the River Styx disguised as a corpse?"

"You got it right."

Bai Ge then made a V-sign at Xize Liang and Wen Liang, saying, "See? Aren't I amazing at acting? I brought a dead person to life with my rich and vivid facial expressions!"

Professor Zhong rubbed his bruised cheek. He sensed that this guy seemed a little off, and tentatively asked, "Aren't you scared?"

Bai Ge sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? I once dressed up as a Taoist priest from Maoshan to exorcise evil spirits in a watch shop and took away several Rolex Submariners."

He silently took a deep breath, pulled a small medicine bottle from his pocket, and popped a pill into his mouth before calming down. He felt like he was in a pressure cooker with the guy opposite him, with the possibility of his blood pressure bursting at any moment.

After calming down, Professor Zhong asked kindly, "You've been on Earth for so long, haven't you ever thought about going home?"

Clang.

The creature inside the Underworld Palace seemed to be startled by the commotion outside, slowly emerging from the darkness, revealing a dead face. The fishing line was still wrapped around the Nuo God's body. The monster in the dark depths of the Underworld Palace suddenly yanked, throwing Bai Ge up and causing him to land heavily at the entrance of the Underworld Palace.

The situation was urgent, so Wen Liang hurriedly said, "You two go in and deal with the Nuo God. Leave the zombies and this old man outside to me."

After thinking for a moment, Xi Zeliang nodded and said, "Be careful, this old guy is hard to deal with."

"Do not worry."

Wen Liang rarely removes his white mask, revealing a fair and serene face.

She gripped the hilt of the Longfin Serpent sword, assuming a slashing stance.

"Hehehe, you think you can stop me with just a broken sword and that Ashina-style swordsmanship? Fine, today I'll show you what corpse control is all about."

Professor Zhong completely disregarded her opponent. In a one-on-one fight, she might not be her match, but the corpses accumulated in a water vein over thousands of years would definitely wear her down!

He waved his finger, his eyes filled with disdain, and said, "All of you, attack! Kill her!"

Faced with the horde of zombie monsters surging forward like a raging torrent, a maniacal smile suddenly appeared on Wen Liang's cold face, as if she had shed some pretense. Instead of drawing her sword, she took out a blue pill, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it.

[P.S.: Red Bull Extreme Sports, your death will be beyond imagination!]

Do you know why the founder of the Ashina-style swordsmanship is called the Sword Saint?

A cold glint flashed in Wen Liang's eyes, "Because everyone who saw him with a gun is dead."

【Ashina Style Secret Technique: Close-Combat Cannon】

Wen Liang threw the black knife in his hand to the ground, took out a Gatling gun from his inventory, and pulled the trigger. Instantly, muzzle flashes and blood and flesh splattered throughout the cave. The undead that charged up fell like harvested leeks, turning into countless pieces. Even the tall and ferocious three-headed monster was riddled with blood and collapsed with a thud.

The woman, who had originally looked somewhat frail, now had a ferocious grin on her face, and she managed to withstand the terrifying recoil thanks to the muscle-enhancing drug.

In that instant, Professor Zhong's terrified eyes seemed to reflect the image of the compassionate Bodhisattva Namo Gatling.

Professor Zhong quickly hid behind a heavy granite block, clutching his head tightly, and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Hey, buddy, no fully automatic lights allowed indoors!"

The only response it received was an even more terrifying hail of bullets and flying debris!

This isn't a Gatling gun, this rate of fire is more like a close-in weapon system!

Bai Ge gripped the fishing line tightly, wrapped it around the stone pillar of the Underworld Palace, and forced a smile. "Don't worry about me. This is a long-line fishing technique. It should work on ghosts too."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Ge was flung out of the air, swaying left and right like a kite. Even Xi Zeliang couldn't stand it anymore, "Seriously, are you playing the fish or is the fish playing you?"

Nishizawa Ryo threw a flare into the depths of the dark palace, a blinding flash illuminating the pitch-black environment. The humanoid behemoth, chained and bound, had countless arms that resembled thick hair covering its body, emitting a strong stench of decay, like the corpse of an immortal giant.
