Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

"If we can make contact, let's send these three to infiltrate Chuguang City."

Upon hearing this, the attendant beside him quickly advised, "Your Excellency, these three people have unknown origins. What if they are saints sent by various forces within the righteous Church?"

"If they are saints, then they are even more powerful," Wanmozhan exclaimed. "They dare to come to the Death Headquarters to court death."

“I wrote to each of them with the match video and asked, and all the factions of the Vatican denied it, saying ‘Your family’s saints,’ ‘No, your family’, ‘backlash.’”

Piercing Justice: "Don't worry, this match video is their criminal record. If they can do something like this, their entire family will be barred from taking the civil service exam for three generations."

"In short," Wanmozhan instructed his men, "you go and contact these three and have them go to Chuguang City as spies."

"However, that's just a backup plan that will never be used."

The Demon Slayer, the Piercing Duke, and the Lich King exchanged a knowing smile—this was the unspoken understanding between ruthless individuals. They coldly declared, "Because this time, we will take action ourselves!"

"I'll show you what the most professional undercover agent is like."

How ruthless could a mere kid from Chuguang City, or Lu Ming's family, possibly be?

“Ryan Lumin, let me see your way to death.”

Chapter 128 Who is the real curse?

"Ryan Lumin, could you come here for a moment?"

"I have something to tell you."

"Five hundred years ago, we destroyed Dawn City and spread the Ash Death Curse within its walls."

"My name is the Lich King, and these two are the Impaler and the Demon Slayer. We are undercover agents who have infiltrated the City of Light, with the goal of destroying all of humanity."

“But we don’t need to do that now, Ryan. As long as you’re willing to come with us, we won’t spread the Ash Death Curse.”

Ryan blinked, looking slightly bewildered.

Since yesterday, wave after wave of soldiers have come to join him.

Without discussing any conditions, Ryan simply showed them around the infrastructure of Chuguang City, and they all signed the contract without hesitation.

It must be the benevolent and peaceful corporate culture of Chuguang City that deeply moved these strangers.

The people of this land without light are so simple and honest.

Ryan was happy to hire useful workers.

As a result, they stopped performing today. As soon as the door opened, they saw three refugees with their hoods off.

Ryan's vision went black, and then he saw a lich, a vampire, and a nice girl jump out, opening her mouth and saying that she was an undercover agent sent by Graydead City.

"Since you're all undercover agents..." Even Ryan couldn't keep up with the thought process of the people of the Dark Territory, "then why reveal your identities?"

You guys could at least put on an act, right?

Just like the previous groups, at least put on a symbolic performance, right?

If you don't put on an act, how can this process proceed? How can I collect your evil deeds? Wouldn't I, Ryan Luming, really become a traitor to the cursed one?

They don't understand any rules at all.

Although he was born into poverty, Ryan still had principles!

"This is the way we death deacons go when we go undercover and meet our demise."

Wanmozhan proudly declared, "An undercover agent should reveal their identity at the outset."

Ryan's doubts vanished instantly, and he understood immediately. So these three were from the Cult of Death. No wonder.

That's fine.

They all believe in death.

"So, are you coming with us, or would you prefer we stay and work for you?"

The Lich King threatened menacingly, "This is the wisdom of choosing death."

"If all three Death Deacons arrive at the same time, the 'Curse of Ash Death' will spread."

"On the first day, all your subjects will turn pale; on the second day, all your subjects will become mentally twisted; on the third day, they will all commit suicide!"

It will only exist for three days before the city is massacred.

Upon hearing the lich's threat, Ryan's pupils dilated violently several times, and he staggered back a few steps, his whole body trembling.

"You mean we should do nothing and wait until the third day, and my people will just die on their own, without anyone else even lifting a finger?"

"certainly..."

The piercing prince glanced at Ryan disdainfully; a noble child is a noble child after all, he couldn't even hold on this long.

"So, you're scared... right?"

But then he saw Ryan excitedly grasp his hand, his pale silver eyes sparkling with genuine joy, every word spoken from the bottom of his heart:

"My lords, you are truly the timely rain of Chuguang City."

"Come in, please."

Ryan eagerly led the way, prompting Henry to open the city gate: "Please take this invisible bridge. I will guide the three of you. This way, there are more people here."

Something's not right with this script, is it?

The Lich King was dumbfounded. According to the conventions of traditional novels, it shouldn't have been, "You traitors, if you want to kill someone, come at me alone, don't make things difficult for my people."

When we got to Ryan, why was it that they said, "Go this way, there are more people here"?

Knowing they were undercover agents, they still led them into the city.

Which side is the faulty one?

Seeing that the Lich King's threat had failed, Wanmozhan thought to himself that this Lion was indeed skilled, but it was all just for show. He looked impressive, but in reality, this noble child was probably going to have a mental breakdown.

"Don't blame me for not warning you."

The Demon Slayer displayed his ferocity: "I have more than one curse in my belly."

At this moment, he transformed into a beautiful girl who could bring ruin to the country and its people.

"Then you go first." Ryan respectfully moved the Demon Slayer to the front of the line.

"You bastard..." Wanmo Zhan roared, "Do you even have any humanity?!"

"Oh."

Piercing Duke chuckled coldly, revealing sharp teeth at the corner of his mouth. This ruthless man had all his teeth pulled out, and his gums were full of toothpicks. "Aren't you afraid that I'll suck blood all over the city as soon as I enter?"

The so-called "Chuguang City" is just his Honey Blood Ice City.

“Then you go first.” Ryan quickly pulled Piercing Gong to the center position as well. These guys each had their own special skills, and Ryan was almost too busy to keep up.

"So you're not coming with us?"

The Lich King couldn't take it anymore and interrupted Llane.

Ryan found it strange, "Didn't the three of you agree to come for the job and spread the gray curse all over the city?"

An incredulous look appeared on his face. "What? You want to back out?"

Damn it, even the Demon Slayer couldn't stand such an insult.

He wanted to see if Ryan was just feigning composure to stall for time, or if he was truly such a genius.

What exactly is their ability to cause three consecutive groups of death cultists to defect?

“Fine, then I’ll apply,” Wanmozhan said. “Bring me your contract and follow your procedures.”

"According to procedure, didn't you say so?"

Ryan replied matter-of-factly, “Then let’s talk about my compensation as one of the three bosses.”

“Just give me a monthly salary of thirty gold coins each, and I can accept loans.”

As soon as Ryan opened his mouth, the Piercing Lord was filled with respect. Who is the vampire, you or me?

Most importantly, Ryan's attitude was so matter-of-fact and self-evident.

But the intelligence said that this guy was a descendant of Lu Ming's family, so the Piercing Duke was relieved.

Their doubts vanished instantly, and they were relieved to realize that Ryan was from the Lu Ming family. No wonder.

That's fine.

Lu Mingsheng's.

The Lu family had already squeezed all the profits out of Wuguang territory a thousand years ago.

Once they'd drained all the blood, the family immigrated overseas.

As deacons of the Cult of Death, they certainly didn't lack thirty gold coins. They handed over the money readily and wanted to see what other tricks this guy had up his sleeve.

"If we follow the proper procedures, we don't accept just anyone."

Ryan said, "You have to pass our test first."

The summer sun was dazzling, and so was the boy's smile. He smiled and said, "The test is very simple—"

"It's just spending a day with my people."

The gates of Chuguang City slowly opened, the scorching heat of midsummer rising up, the air thick and distorted, and everything inside the city was similarly chaotic and distorted due to the high temperature.

They finally saw the people of Chuguang City.

Even the most knowledgeable lich couldn't help but mutter to himself, "They are...."

"The One Without Light?"

The Lightless Ones from the Primal Curse [Azure Silver Eclipse].

The lich mentally calculated the seniority.

They are the deacons of the Ash Death Curse, which is the third-generation bloodline of the Death Curse. The Azure Silver Eclipse is the origin of the Death Curse. In terms of seniority, they are five generations younger.

Gray City, City of First Light...

Which side is the real headquarters of the curse?

Chapter 129 Why are you wearing a headband to show off?

[Azure Silver Apostle, Lord of First Light City, Ryan Luming, issues daily quest]

[Mission: Lead new recruits on a one-day tour of Chuguang City]

[Reward: Ryan Lumin's favorability +1]

"Oh, another batch of new people."

The players spotted the three newcomers from afar, but they weren't surprised; this was the fourth wave of immigrants to arrive in recent days.

The reward is +1 favorability.

At first, players were eager to do these kinds of quests, but who knew that Ryan's favorability rating was like a bottomless pit.

They tried more than ten times but still couldn't unlock this guy's special interactions. It was so boring that most normal players gave up.

Only members of the milk powder fandom still persist in posting various daily updates.

"I'll take it!"

"Don't try to take it from me."

"I'm free, I'm free."

Ryan greatly underestimated the tolerance of these types of players; they even praised Eden's high level of realism.

After all, chasing after celebrities in real life is much more demanding and tedious than grinding daily tasks in games.

I have to be online day and night; ranking up is like grinding through mobs.

Buying merchandise is like pulling from a gacha pool; consuming in-game currency is like farming for specific stats.

The heads of the various restaurants are essentially the heads of the various labor unions.

When an idol posts an update and the comments section immediately fills up, it means they're about to team up and start a new adventure.

Despite all that effort, I still can't unlock the special CG.
