Chapter 1: The King of the Abyss
"Great King of the Abyss, we celebrate your return under the high heavens!"
"You are the master of all things in heaven and earth, you are the sum of all hells and abysses, and you are the first ancient god who began from the root!"
"Your pious slave longs for your mercy ......"
In the gloomy and damp basement, only a few dim candles lit around.
In the ritual circle painted in blood, a group of fanatical, black-robed men knelt on the ground and prayed sincerely.
Suddenly, the candles fluttered without wind, the shadows of the lamps twisted and wriggled on the wall, and the black-robed people looked ecstatic, prostrate deeply on the ground, and shouted in unison:
"O great King of the Abyss, O Holy Lord of hosts...... Your glory will rise above the stars, sheltering the candles of all souls! ”
The air froze, and the flickering candle flame stood still, but the shadows on the walls still creeped until they filled every corner of the room.
The black-robed people could vaguely sense that some behemoth had descended from nothingness, but it just stretched out an inconspicuous tentacle and swam beside them, and a heavy sense of oppression squeezed from all directions.
There was no fear in them, and there was joy in their eyes.
They really summoned the eyes of the Root Old God!
And right in this moment.
The shadows that swam in the air suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Just as everyone was in a panic, the basement door was slowly opened, and the sunlight poured through the cracks, illuminating their pale faces.
Immediately after, a delicate and shy face poked out from behind the door.
"Excuse me, are you calling me?"
The young man who opened the door said embarrassedly.
……
……
Demon?
Of course, he Gu Jiancheng is not an evil god.
He is a full-fledged hunter, enjoying imperial allowances, and holding a hunter's license, he can enter and exit any jurisdiction in the territory without hindrance.
As a bounty hunter among hunters, his interest in capturing cultists has been focused on capturing cultists throughout the year.
According to the information provided by the insider, he found the den where the cultists were preparing for the ceremony.
However, what he did not expect was that this group of cultists obviously lacked basic professional qualities......
Forget about the lack of any decent sacrifices, even the summoning ceremony is actually painted with pig's blood!
It's really unprofessional, if the king of the abyss learns that the believers in this world are like this, I'm afraid he will die happily, after all, who doesn't like stupid believers?
Of course, with the qualities they show, there is no possibility of successful summoning at all.
Oh, take a pig's blood and want to summon that ancient god who is known as the root level, which can already be added to the top ten jokes of the year.
Of course, the more stupid these guys are, the higher Gu Jiancheng's performance will be, and the lower the risk.
He cleared his throat, released the [Wisdom Reduction Domain], and began to flicker:
"Lately fewer and fewer people have believed in me, so I have come to the world to see who is robbing me of my glory."
"I see your faith, and that's good, keep your zeal, and I need you to tell the world on my behalf that the time is near, and my kingdom is coming, and the world should repent."
"As the first believers I have met, you will be blessed by me, come, come to me, and I will give you the coordinates of the kingdom, and when you come near me, you will be my followers, by my side."
Looking at the black-robed people in the audience who were suspicious, Gu Jiancheng sighed.
It seems that it is a bit difficult to catch them all.
He lifted the long sleeve of his right arm, revealing the long black snake tattooed on it.
Everyone was shocked, and some people trembled and said, "This ...... Could this be the Demon Serpent of the Closed Loop of Eternal Day, my lord's most faithful pet beast? ”
Gu Jiancheng smiled faintly and said: "I forgive your ignorance and disobedience, the ignorance of the world is always innate, and my obligation is to guide you to regain the meaning of being born in the world." Although I have renounced the condensation of authority and incarnation to walk in the world, I still enjoy the person of the root, and I have retained an illusion of the kingdom of God, and you can ...... by touching this illusion."
"O Lord! Great Lord! Our slaves have finally received your mercy! ”
Before he could finish speaking, the black-robed people couldn't wait to grab the ground with their heads, and shouted in unison in hysterical cheers
Gu Jiancheng was overjoyed, this group of two hundred and five cultists was really easier to deceive than the last time!
Could it be that his [Wisdom Reduction Aura] has been quietly upgraded?
In the past, with the help of the power of the aura, he had to go through a lot of words to make this group of guys suspicious, and then lure them to take the initiative to enter his own realm of spirit, seize the opportunity to catch them all, and take them all and send them to the Hunter Guild in exchange for points.
If one accidentally dies, he will have to feel distressed for several minutes.
After all, the guild doesn't recognize the dead.
I didn't think that he hadn't said a few words today before he showed a sticker tattoo, and these guys actually kowtowed to him with a fanatical face.
It can be seen from this that the quality of the ancient gods and cultists is declining year by year, and this is the embodiment of the results of the comprehensive popularization of compulsory education, which fully proves that only the fish that have slipped through the net will engage in crooked ways!
Gu Jiancheng thought about it in his heart.
He had already thought of the title of the paper and was ready to publish it within the association in exchange for merit points.
Gradually, however, he became silent and noticed something strange.
Even if he really fell into his aura of wisdom reduction, he shouldn't ......
So crazy, right?
Looking at the black-robed people who were kowtowing desperately, and the flesh and blood were already blurred in front of their foreheads, Gu Jiancheng felt a chill in his heart.
You say, is there a possibility......
Slowly, slowly, he twisted his neck and looked back at his back.
The huge figure revealed a corner behind the crack in the space wall, and the cold and majestic golden snake eyes reflected his small figure, and the oppression from the depths of his soul fell from the sky.
Without waiting for Gu Jiancheng to hide his right arm, the huge ancient snake "drilled" out of the crack in that corner of the space, and what emerged from it at that moment was not an entity, but a great essence.
It entered Gu Jiancheng's right arm.
Gu Jiancheng was stunned for two seconds, the snake shadow on his arm snaked and moved, and his scarlet eyes flickered twice before they went out.
Rubbing his eyes, Gu Jiancheng and everyone in the audience looked at each other.
After a while, he asked tentatively, "Did you all see it just now?" ”
"Divine !!"
"O great King of the Abyss!"
"O God! Please save us who are lost! ”
Increasingly frenzied shouts echoed through the basement, and the black-robed people crawled humbly and frantically to kiss his shoes.
Gu Jiancheng panicked, took a few steps back, and when he stepped back, he saw the bronze mirror hanging on the right side, which was also part of the sacrificial ceremony.
In the bronze mirror, he hung his head on a spiral throne made of white bone and black stone, his body burned with pitch-black flames, and the ancient snake wrapped around his arm and slumbered......
The chill instantly spread throughout his body.
The image in the mirror is the posture of the king of the abyss that is widely spread!
The next moment, the "self" in the mirror raised his head.
It was a face that was exactly the same as Gu Jiancheng.
"Don't move! Squat down with your head in your hands! ”
"Hurry, hurry! Take them all! ”
The noisy voices and footsteps interrupted Gu Jiancheng's thoughts.
……
Outside the door.
The fat man, who has a ratio of almost one to one, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said that the weather has been heating up very fast recently.
The middle-aged man on the side looked puzzled: "My lord, isn't this okay?" The Mr. Gu inside is about to be promoted to a three-star hunter, and he is also a famous person, we will grab him from the mission target, and the Hunter Guild will not give up. ”
The fat man said viciously: "Lao Tzu is not afraid, what are you afraid of, Lao Tzu is robbing this bastard's task, so that this calf dares to abandon my sister from the beginning!" ”
The middle-aged man, that is, the head of the local security army, was stunned for a long time, and did not answer with a wry smile.
He can't afford to offend on both sides, one is a rising star of the East Antarctic Hunters Guild, and the other is a child of the Tianshui Zhao family, a child of a serious family.
Don't say it's him, I'm afraid that the city lord doesn't want to get involved.
The fat man said proudly: "Recently, these disciples have been hiding deeper than one another, Lao Tzu can't earn meritorious deeds if he wants to, and this bastard surnamed Gu really has meat to eat!" ”
"Let's go, go in and see the bastard's face!"
……
The gate was kicked open, and a group of local security officers rushed in.
The scene was momentarily chaotic.
The black-robed people stood up with hideous expressions, surrounded Gu Jiancheng, and shouted to protect the gods! Guardian Deity! These Imperial lackeys must not be allowed to harm the Honored God!
Gu Jiancheng, who was surrounded in the middle, had a green face.
Not only did the bastards of the Qi Security Army dare to come to steal business halfway, but the most important thing is that they are afraid!
His current situation is really wrong, he himself doesn't know if he is an evil god now, this has to be discovered and caught......
He wiped the sweat from the back of his neck, took advantage of the chaos in the field, and smashed the bronze mirror, and then calmed down.
With anger on his face, he strode forward, kicked the black-robed man in front of him, and yelled at the security army: "Fucking rob me of my business, think our Hunter Guild is easy to bully?!" What about your captain? Come out! ”
"Yo Yo Yo, who should I be, isn't this Gu Ye's voice?"
A familiar voice came from the door, and Gu Jiancheng looked at it when he heard it, but no one came in for a long time.
He suddenly remembered something, looked strange, and said with concern: "It turned out to be Qianjun, this door is a bit narrow, did you come in Qianjun?" Don't force it, but don't squeeze your bones. ”
"Boom!"
Someone kicked a big gap at the door, and the fat man reluctantly squeezed into the door, and said angrily: "The surname Gu, you try to mock me again!" ”
"Huh? What's the situation? ”
The fat man was suddenly stunned.
It is true that the scene in front of me is too chaotic and strange.
He can understand that the security forces are fighting with this group of cultists.
But why did this group of cultists surround the surnamed Gu in the middle, one by one?
The middle-aged security army captain on the side changed his face, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Gongzi, could it be that this Mr. Gu is the incarnation of the King of the Great Abyss?" ”
"Fool with no vision." The fat man rolled his eyes, almost laughing angrily, "This bastard also deserves to be the incarnation of the king of the evil gods?" He wants to have something to do with the king of evil gods, and Lao Tzu will take off his head and kick it for you! ”
"You go to the Hunters' Guild and ask yourself, just in the past year, how many believers in the Great Abyss have been captured by this bastard, if I am the Lord of the Great Abyss, I will pinch him to death if I catch him!"
He shouted loudly.
Gu Jiancheng: "......"
Middle-aged man: "......"
The fat man's eyes were full of envy: "Cheng, your chaotic realm has advanced again?" Nima's, although it's a waste field, can't stop you from rising to two levels a year!
The group of fools at school laughed at you back then, and I will help you scold them well when you go back this time. ”
Gu Jiancheng was taken aback, and immediately overjoyed, he was worried that there was no excuse, and the dead fat man was here to save the scene?
He naturally kicked the black-robed man who had fought bloodily and threw himself at his feet and shouted that he would retreat quickly, cleared his throat, and said reservedly:
"I have a little understanding, but it's not as good as Master Ji's back then."
The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched, this bastard really dared to compare, what kind of demeanor Ji Shi had back then, the Tianjiao of several surrounding empires combined was not enough for Ji Shi to fight alone, you are also worthy of your special mother, if it weren't for the sudden request for you......
The fat man smiled dryly: "Lao Wang has found a ruin, are you interested?" ”
Gu Jiancheng's eyes lit up, and he was about to agree, but he stopped abruptly, shook his head regretfully, and said, "I have some urgent matters to deal with after completing this task." ”
It's really urgent, he can't tell what happened to him now, and he urgently needs to go home to do various self-examination ceremonies to confirm his current condition.
The fat man was anxious instead: "Don't, the relics of the Third Age, you're not interested?" ”
Gu Jiancheng reluctantly refused: "Don't say it, I'm really in a hurry, and what do you mean by taking someone to rob me today?" The family heirloom Tianyi water recipe has come to fruition? Stiff wrists? ”
The fat man's smile was a little innocent, and he said with a scowl on his face: "I heard that Li Qianyu's little slut said that you were down, so I thought about helping you, but I was also a fellow brother from the weak water training camp back then." ”
Gu Jiancheng was moved: "Good brother, I will remember you for the rest of my life, then this group of cultists will trouble you to help me send it to the Hunters Guild to receive a reward." Be a brother, in my heart, I believe you can't be greedy for me. ”
The fat man smiled unnaturally and said, "That's for sure, brother is here!" You can rest assured. Leave it to me! ”
Gu Jiancheng kicked away the cultists in front of him and walked towards the gate.
The fat man didn't give up and said, "I really don't have time? There must be such a thing as time to squeeze in! ”
Gu Jiancheng rolled his eyes, ignored it, and strode away.
He was really tormented to stay here, and the voice of "Respect God" behind him was no different from a life talisman!
The fat man suddenly thought of something, and just wanted to call him when he went out, but found that the bastard had run away, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
"Running so fast?"
He muttered and turned his head, looking at the black-robed people who were still fighting and vowing to follow the gods, and plucked out his ears in confusion,
"The chaotic realm of the third stage is so strong? Everyone has run away, and the effect has not yet dispersed? No, I'll have to go to the door and burn the cold stove again......"
The middle-aged man on the side hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Gongzi, could it be that one really has something to do with Dayuan?" ”
Seeing that this thing was so unrelenting, the fat man pointed at this group of cultists and said earnestly: "What are they shouting?" ”
"God?" The middle-aged man hadn't reacted yet.
"You know it's a god!" The fat man kicked over violently, and the middle-aged man who kicked it hugged his head and ran away.
The fat man scolded in the back,
"His surname Gu will be the King of the Great Abyss, the King of the Evil God, the Lord of the Demon God?? What brains do you have? How dare you think about it! Those guys who are divisive and deceitful in the imperial capital don't dare to make it up like this! ”
"I'm going to open your eyes today, that surnamed Gu broke through the spirit level a year ago, and the realm of condensation is called the realm of chaos, and he is best at confusing people's five senses and confusing people's minds. Although he is the last rank of the ninth rank, he can't stand him two orders a year! ”
"Why do you think Lao Tzu suddenly changed his tune, not only helping him clean up the mess, but also inviting him to explore the ruins? It's not because this guy is developed! ”
