Jiang Yu's movements were not hidden.

Jiang Yu's gaze did not hide.

He stared straight at her, his palms resting on the hammer.

However, as he expected, Zhan Lan's first thing was to look around.

"I found no hostile creatures, this underworld is safe. Jiang Yu, what did you find? She naturally entered a state of combat readiness, and the psychic network was mounted undefended, just as it had been when they had fought side by side.

Jiang Yu took a silent breath.

His perception swept around him, and there was an obvious heterogeneous texture on Cheng Xiao and Zhu Wen. And Zero Point and Mu Gang, who were obviously resurrected by Zhu Wen, were a little uneasy, but they were completely out of the situation.

There is no abnormality in them.

The biggest characteristic of them is that compared to Zhan Lan and the others, even if the strength they have has improved compared to before parting, they are too weak.

- Have you redeemed an S-rank boost...... How did you still come up with this kind of setting?

- Is it because I'm exposed to deeper secrets, and the chain reaction that has been set off? Still is...... Something else?

There was one person who was not abnormal.

There is a person whose presence has always remained small.

He should have known something, but for some reason he didn't say a word.

…… It's good that there's a reason.

"There are some cases." Jiang Yu's hand was removed from the warhammer, and his sanity told him that it was best not to let Kasumi show up now. It's better not to talk about some key topics. "Stay calm, I'll take care of the situation first."

“…… Well. The heterogeneous texture on Zhan Lan's body increased a little more, but she meekly agreed. Just standing where you are. The pale gold's 'Heavenly Rules' extended outward from Jiang Yu's feet, covering an area of tens of meters that was used as a point of conversation, and his heart eased some tension slightly.

"Zhang Jie, is it convenient to explain?"

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Jie's lips. "Convenience has always been convenient...... But are you sure? ”

"Right here, right now?" - His tone was like an ominous omen.

"If you have a way to send us straight back, under the Lord God's Light Orb. That's fine for another occasion. But now, I feel like it's just right here. ”

The corners of Cheng Xiao's mouth twitched, but he remained silent.

Zhan Lan's fingers subconsciously slid towards his storage props, and then, a storage bag fell silently to the ground.

Jiang Yu: "............"

Bad omens are on the rise.

"I've prepared a rebirth ankh for you, and for you." Zhan Lan's gaze slowly turned to him, and a white light silently lit up under her eyes. "I should have given them to you now, or at least I should have taken them with me, shouldn't I? But why ......?"

Her face contorted slightly, as if she was about to cry. But it turned into indifference at a speed visible to the naked eye, and expressions and emotions faded sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhu Wen took a step towards her gently. Behind the newborn Lord of Destiny emerges a serpent-like whirling crest. It was a serpent with twelve links, and its body glowed faintly with silver.

Silver Serpent.

It obviously doesn't belong to the same category as the one in the world of death, but there must be some kind of connection—Zhu Wen's form is rapidly transforming in Jiang Yu's perception, as if something is about to emerge from under her skin, and it is tightly suppressed under the shell by the 'Heavenly Rules'.

She opened her mouth and didn't speak. There was a silver light floating in the depths of his eyes, but it was intertwined with a white light similar to Zhan Lan's strength.

Maybe Zhan Lan was controlling her, or maybe Zhan Lan was trying to suppress the runaway bloodline and power in her body.

But no matter what the truth was, she was now standing beside Zhan Lan and didn't say a word.

A phantom appeared on Jiang Yu's mind side - he saw himself brazenly attack, using the 'Heavenly Rules' to forcibly suppress the heterogeneous changes in several people and try to correct the treatment. However, in the next moment, the blazing glow of silver and white burst out in an uncontrollable manner. Tear apart the earth and cleanse the underworld. Turning into a blazing light of destruction, the outer world washed and distorted, countless earth fires surged and countless meteorites fell, and the whole world fell in an instant.

This may be a prophecy, but it can also be a threat, a warning.

Destroying the world is not a trivial matter that can be fooled by a haha. Especially, in the current environment.

Jiang Yu's eyes shifted to Zhang Jie again.

"I don't know what's going on, but after you left, Team Middle-earth seems to have changed." A wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Jie's mouth. "At first, the atmosphere was only a little tense, but in order to resurrect you, Zheng Zhe and others, it is normal to have a little urgency. But since we came into the world, things have taken a turn for the worse. ”

He took a light breath.

"The newcomers are dead...... Die of your own stupidity, but also of the indulgence of the veteran...... Even bootstrapping. They were supposed to huddle together and hide in a low-key manner until they faced the test of fate. But the oversized amount of protection on their bodies has made them unimportant. ”

Killing a newcomer to the team will deduct 1,000 bonus points, which is not much, but it is proof. And Jiang Yu's perception had already swept over every reincarnation watch present at this moment, and knew that no one had such a beacon on their reincarnation credentials.

"It's just a natural obsolescence." Zhan Lan stared at him, her eyes dark, but she said expressionlessly. "We've done our best to them, and they need to at least be able to prove that they can do it."

It's a bit sharp, but it's not incomprehensible...... If what she did was exactly the same as what she said.

“…… You stand in the shoes of a person in high positions and look down on them. "Jiang Yu knows that she didn't, and she won't say false things." You assess their value and then dispose of them as you please, you don't deliberately want to kill them, but you deliberately put them in a position that is more prone to mistakes. ”

"I don't deny it." In the depths of Zhan Lan's eyes, more pure white light appeared. "We have relied on sweat and blood to get to this point, and we have overcome many hardships. And this is the proof that we are even more noble, and they want to be side by side with us, at least a certain amount of weight. ”

"Your mind is dangerous." Jiang Yu's fingers flicked lightly. "As a reincarnation, it is in line with the needs of the Lord God to be on the friendly side as much as possible. Arrogance is not a sign of strength, but a sign of defeat. ”

"Is this your judgment as the captain?" Zhan Lan asked softly. "If it is, I'll comply."

"Comply, not correct?"

"You are the strongest in the team, Jiang Yu. Your nobility is above everyone else, and if you make a decision, then others should obey it. For it is natural for the strong to dominate the weak. The weak are expected to be obedient and obedient, just as the world is to us. ”

"Like the world is relative to us?"

"Yes, I've hacked into most of the key nodes of this world. Zhu Wen cooperated with me to adjust their fate. Now this entire world of A Chinese Ghost Story is at our mercy. The only old demon of Montenegro who has the ability to struggle has been erased, and the centipede spirit that is the template of the main story is already a dry bone in the grave-

- As a place for the resurrection node, we should maintain sufficient control of the world. Before completing the main story, we should ensure effective control over this side of the world and establish a solid absolute order. And in this way, we can ensure that the gates of the Dead City are in working order at all times. ”

"............" Jiang Yu closed his eyes.

"Finally, where did you learn this?"

"A long time ago." Zhan Lan paused. "When I was a child, I heard stories about Heavenly Court, and when I grew up, I understood the truth. The strong dominate the weak, and the weak obey the strong. This is the essence of order. And now that we have reached this point, perhaps one day, we can also form our own Heavenly Court. ”

"If you don't succeed in forming it, then it doesn't hurt to join the more powerful Heavenly Court...... Is it? Jiang Yu didn't expect an answer, because he had just said that it was the last question. He reopened his eyes and looked at Zhan Lan's gaze, full of nostalgia and sadness.

"I thought we would meet again in a different atmosphere. The other is better, more comfortable, more ...... Under the atmosphere of longing. But now...... Zhu Wen, you're on her side, aren't you? ”

Zhu Wen didn't answer, just looked at him quietly. He didn't know if there was a girl screaming for help in those eyes, but it had come to this point, and it was no longer possible to use a steady and slow method.

"Cheng Xiao?"

"I don't agree with her." Cheng Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly. "But I believe in balance. Although I can't balance it when I'm standing on this side, I owe Zhan Lan a great favor that I must repay. ”

“…… In this way? ”

"In this way."

"Zhang Jie." Jiang Yu gripped the handle of the war hammer for the second time. "You haven't told me why you didn't do anything."

"She's already taken that step." Zhang Jie raised his hand, as if surrendering. "The Lord God has determined that she is qualified to compete for captaincy. And I have to finish my last job...... I can't give you the captaincy directly. And until the captaincy is over, I can't do anything superfluous. ”

“…… Looks like you don't need to obey me, Zhan Lan. ”

"Indeed, the judgment of the Lord God is more authoritative." Zhan Lan nodded. "Then, Jiang Yu, I'm going to fight with you. If I win, I will purge the land of all living creatures and eradicate the possibility of civilization revival. In this way, the resurrection node here will be completely useful to me. ”

"You really owe education."

"Try to educate me, Jiang—"

The voice did not fall.

The tide of pitch-black flames suddenly erupted, accompanied by a familiar voice and the blazing fury contained therein!

"Get out of Zhan Lan's body! Monster! ”
