Chapter 360: Chapter 277: Troops Surrounding the City Incident

"But what exactly is the ’Evil Core,’ and how do we get rid of it?"

Pan Hao grimaced. "Even if you’re an S-rank Investigator, you can’t just directly confront the people of Qingshi Town, can you?

"If you had the ability to deploy some tanks, you could probably crush those crazy witches, but obviously that’s not possible."

Lu Tianming gently tapped the ground, indeed, how to achieve this goal was a big problem.

"Right, what kind of technology can be used here?"

"Steam engines, internal combustion engines—they operate on combustion, nothing high-tech. But when it involves electric-powered items, there might be errors." Lu Tianming said, "Right now, it’s also impossible to bring tanks here, the Game doesn’t have that ability, you know?"

"It’s more anxious than us, if it could deploy resources on a large scale, it would have done so already."

He picked up an ancient Copper Coin and gently tossed it upward: "Although we don’t have the Skill of Divination, we can still try to turn bad luck into good."

Ding ding dang dang, the Copper Coin landed.

An extremely bad omen!

So bad that stepping outside means death upon death upon death.

Lu Tianming didn’t know what to say anymore, having been scared off completely, he dared not go outside.

After a moment’s contemplation, he picked up a bottle containing pus from ’Great Mother of Sores’ and a plan formed in his mind.

First, he took out a pus sore and soaked it in stream water.

Soon, the liquid in the glass bottle turned a pale yellow.

After taking out the pus sore, Lu Tianming tentatively tasted a mouthful of the yellow liquid.

"That’s disgusting."

His eyebrows and eyes furrowed together, he exclaimed, "It starts with a sour stench, like athlete’s foot, but then it turns into an orange flavor, how bizarre."

"However... the pervasive malice has disappeared..."

"When you’re exposed to the jianghu, you can’t avoid getting slashed. Consider it like drinking some radioactive water, no big deal. When Great Mother of Sores comes knocking, it’ll be all over anyway."

Li Qingshan understood Mr. 12’s intention and drank a bit of the contaminated source too.

Burp.

He belched satisfyingly.

"The effect on the mind really isn’t significant."

"So, what should we do next?"

"Let’s investigate the situation in Qingshi Town, no rush. You guys go ahead, I’ll lie down here for a while, contact me with the Conch Headphones if there’s anything." Lu Tianming handed them two communication Strange Objects resembling conchs.

Earlier, they had tested it, and the Conch Headphones could not operate across planes and contact the headquarters on Earth.

However, within the Mountain and Sea Realm, they could still communicate with each other, which was a decent communication tool.

"You’re an S-rank and we are supposed to fight to death while you just lie here?" Pan Hao’s eyes widened.

"Nonsense. I’ve only got one life, while you have countless lives, what good is being S-rank?" Old Lu shamelessly lay on the ground, with the ominous Gua Xiang, he couldn’t possibly go out.

"I’m having diarrhea and feeling faint, I’m too old, seriously can’t even walk."

"Right, you guys use ’Painted Skin’ to change your appearances before entering the town."

...

...

...

[Foreigner, you have stolen the power of ’Great Mother of Sores’ and deceived this land. Ambition wildly grows in your heart, and you swear to spread the light of the Righteous Path on this tainted land.]

[But before that, you need to soothe your leader, who seems to have eaten something bad and has to lie down here. Will you choose to persuade him or to comfort him?]

[Persuade him.]

[You try to persuade your leader to jointly undertake this monumental task, but you are scolded miserably. He says his hemorrhoids are acting up, and he’s bleeding, so he must lie down for a while.]

Old Wang was silent, envisioning the middle-aged S-rank uncle with a yellow complexion, clutching his bottom in pain, laying miserably on the ground.

"Fine, just lie down then."

[With no choice, you and Pan Hao hit the road again.]

[Qingshi Town remains desolate with little guard strength, making it easy for you to sneak in.]

[The streets were covered with medicine residue, and the deaths are increasing. The local deity, ’Evil Core’ – an Evil God – spreads terror and disease to harvest human Life Force. Meanwhile, the local witches, growing increasingly anxious, continue to worship the Evil God, trying to appease its anger.]

[You scoff internally, isn’t this behavior completely counterproductive?]

[Next, where do you plan to visit? The temple of ’Evil Core’; the old witch’s house; a noisy market; the pockmarked woman’s brothel; or just lie straight down on the ground.]

[(Custom) ...]

You can actually just lie down?!

Wang Hao couldn’t resist the temptation to "lie down."

Though he knew that choosing randomly would just squander a life, he couldn’t resist the curiosity to see what would happen if he picked this option.

[Foreigner, you were previously full of vigor, brimming with ambitions of slaying gods and immortals in your chest.]

[Suddenly, you lost your mind and, disheartened, lay down on the ground sick. You thought, you must be utterly struck down to be so defeated.]

[Pan Hao sees you looking delirious and frantically moves you to a nearby unoccupied house and gives you some water.]

[You lay sick on the ground, and heavily fell asleep... (You pass out)]

Then, the screen went black.
