"This is f * cking terrible."
In the abandoned subway hall, there were corpses everywhere. The people who had been holding a fanatical ceremony here were now dead, along with the mutants from the border.
In the middle of the huge sacrificial ceremony, the man in a suit wearing a Poly mask sighed unhappily.
After looking at the specifications of the sacrificial offering and the symbol on the altar again and again, he finally came to an unpleasant conclusion. "Are you kidding me? It's actually the Nine Phoenix?"
According to the records of the Astronomy Association, the Nine Phoenix belonged to the fourth stage of the sacred mark in Dongxia's pedigree. However, this did not mean that it was only slightly more advanced than the sacred marks of Feng and Er 'Lai.
On the contrary, the difference between the fourth and the third stage was like heaven and earth.
Once they reached the third stage, the ether level, the fragile internal organs of the sublimator would begin to transform into the legendary creature represented by the sacred mark. It was like the legendary hero who was given dragon's blood, the child of a ghost, or the projection of an angel in the human world.
However, the fourth stage, Xing An, was a complete body.
In other words, they could completely transcend from the fragile body of a human and transform into the sacred object represented by the sacred mark. Some of the outstanding ones even had divinity and were regarded as demigods with divine blood flowing in their veins.
The symbol of the Nine Phoenix now appeared in the sacrificial ceremony of the people who had been purified. This could only mean one thing — behind the chaos in Xin Hai, there was a sublimator who had reached the fourth stage.
A genuine monster.
Although the path that the Social Security Bureau had grasped did not involve the branch of the Nine Phoenix, and even this advancement path was incomplete. There was only the third stage, Ubuo Bird.
However, as a ferocious beast known as the Ghost Chariot, the Nine Phoenix had been rumored to eat human souls since ancient times. Therefore, it was not surprising that it was favored by the rancher.
In fact, Yoo Dong-ri's own advancement path also included this branch. After all, Halcyon was also a sacred mark with great versatility, so he naturally knew something about it.
Then, what was the Nine Phoenix planning to do here?
Or rather, what could it do?
If it wanted to cause trouble, there was no doubt that it could do it. It was simply too easy for a fourth-stage sublimator to cause trouble in the present realm.
However, the question was, was there any meaning to it?
Even if he wanted to divert the attention of the Social Security Bureau, a Stage Four Nine Phoenix was not qualified. It was meaningless to fight alone, and it was not cost-effective. It was better to gather forces and create a big news story.
But obviously, after the Pure People had been operating in Xin Hai for so long under the alias of the Savior Society, they were not there purely to hunt for food.
It was too troublesome.
This kind of thing could be done easily in a small country that was in the middle of a civil war. Why did they have to come all the way to Dongxia?
In that case, his goal was obvious. Or rather, it was always obvious.
— Shanghai.
After the last border catastrophe, the Purified People's obsession with Shanghai had increased day by day. It was obvious that there was something in Shanghai that was very important to them.
Therefore, the entrance had to be opened.
But why?
The main characters in such a major event would at least be Tier 5 Sublimators, and there might even be natural enemies that would interfere. All sorts of destructive elements would be involved.
No matter how strong a Fourth Stage Sublimator was, they could only wave their flags and shout in the face of such a situation.
You're just a Nine Phoenix. What do you have to deserve this?
Unless …
"Advancement?"
Yoo Dong-ri finally reacted. He looked at the strange sacrificial ground in front of him and speculated about the huge mystic ritual that was currently shrouding Xin Hai. After obtaining the main axis, the originally complicated fog seemed to have dissipated in an instant.
It became logical.
Yoo Dong-ri hurriedly dug out the subway blueprint that he had originally planned from the work area of the subway station and looked at the perfect ring on it.
Then, he dipped his hands in the blood on the ground and kept making marks.
In the end, the blood on the entire ring crisscrossed, perfectly weaving two overlapping emblems.
One was the symbol of the Nine Phoenix.
The other was the symbol of breeding and transformation.
As expected, he was advancing!
The purpose of this ritual was very clear.
Through the proliferation of the mirror realm, the entire Xin Hai's underground railway line was covered. Using the correspondence between the reflection and the main body, it cleverly bypassed the suppression of the Great Mystic Ritual Zarathustra.
And the cost of interfering with the reflection was much lower than the cost of interfering with the main body. Through this method, the depth of the reflection was deepened, creating a hellish area, and then covering the main body.
The Present Realm was still the Present Realm, but it was enough to perform the advancement ritual that could only be performed in the depths of hell.
It was a wonderful idea!
And through the advancement of the same origin, the moment the advancement was completed, it would resonate with the origin and create a direct passage for the rancher, thus achieving the purpose of opening a path to Demonic City.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
If one wanted to become a legend, one had to create a legend first, just like if one wanted to become a god, they had to create miracles first.
With one move, he could complete two miracles of the Abyss. With one of them advancing and the other becoming his own resource, his future achievements would definitely be limitless, right?
When he thought of this, Yoo Dong-ri suddenly heard the sharp sound of glass shattering.
Just as he raised his head in shock, he saw that behind the shattered glass, the name of the platform was actually beginning to twist and change. In the end, it became the name of a subway station that he did not recognize at all.
Pudong Avenue?
Very quickly, he understood. Could it be the name of a place in Demonic City? In other words, the current Mirror Realm actually used the correspondence of three reflections?
This final task was becoming more and more troublesome at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He pulled at his wig with a headache and lowered his head to look at the watch that still did not change at all. The signal bar on the side was clearly full, which meant that all of this was under the surveillance of the astronomical society.
But there was still no response from the higher-ups.
There were a few possibilities.
The first was that the higher-ups already knew about it but could not provide any help. You were abandoned as a friend and could only wait for death in peace.
The second was a more hopeful guess — this matter was not a big deal in the eyes of the higher-ups. With the current preparations in Xin Hai, it could be solved.
So, he could do it without worry.
No matter which one it was, he was afraid that he would not be able to get any help from the higher-ups.
"A bunch of bastards. They are not of any use at the crucial moment!"
He cursed irritably and wandered around the subway station that was littered with corpses to think. After a long time, he stopped, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed the number of the detective.
"Who is it?" The detective on the other end was listless. "Is it the astronomical society? Have the people who came to pick me up finally arrived? "
"In your dreams. I haven't even run yet, and you want to run away alone?" Yoo Dong-ri was furious.
"You're still alive?"
The detective was shocked. "I thought you would be sacrificed …"
"You better shut your Crow's mouth!" Yoo Dong-ri was getting angrier. "Okay, let's not talk nonsense. You're the local operator of yesterday's delivery, right?"
The detective did not say anything. It seemed like he was thinking about how to shirk his responsibility. Yoo Dong-ri snorted and asked with a glimmer of hope, "I heard yesterday's delivery service is the highest level. They can even deliver the things you buy to you before you buy them. Is that true?"
"…"
The detective on the other end of the phone was still silent. After a long time, he said with a dry voice, "Five minutes ago, I received a notice from the general manager of yesterday's delivery service in Jinling … He said that the item ordered by a customer has been delivered to the local destination. He asked me to remind the customer to check the receipt. This service fee will be calculated according to the highest standard and will be paid in full by the Jinling Social Security Bureau …"
Yoo Dong-ri was stunned. "What the hell?"
Before he finished his sentence, his phone rang. A text message popped up. "The delivery service provided to you this time has ended. Please reply to the text message later to comment on this service. If you are satisfied, please …"
There was no need to continue the call.
Yoo Dong-ri hung up the phone in shock. He slowly turned around and looked around. There was no storage cabinet. Finally, his eyes fell on the huge altar made of solid wood in the center of the layers of corpses.
Unbelievable.
After a long time, he picked up a steel bar from the ground and walked around the altar that was engraved with layers of gorgeous patterns. He couldn't see any cracks. When he used all his strength to break through the outer layer of the wooden board and pried open the altar, he saw a huge iron box covered in dust in the middle of the altar.
When did this happen?
This altar had been here for who knows how long. How did they open the altar and then close it back up the same way after the items went in?
Or, from the beginning, when the altar was built, yesterday's delivery service stuffed this thing inside?
He couldn't figure it out at all.
But the logo of yesterday's delivery service proved the identity of this delivery service without a doubt.
I take back my words. Those bastards at the top are still useful occasionally. At least they can pay the bills.
He struggled to break the lock on the outside and opened the heavy and huge iron box.
Looking at the densely packed alchemy explosives, a happy smile appeared on his face.
This operation was in the bag.
.
.
"Help! Help! "
In the continuous gunshots, Shen Yue shrank in the corner. He closed his eyes and kept pulling the trigger, but the result was that he couldn't hit the target at all.
"Shut up, trash! You're so annoying!"
Ai Qing angrily reprimanded. She skillfully reloaded the submachine gun in her hand and then pulled the trigger at the group of Corrosives. "Aren't you a rank 3 Ascendant?! Why are you letting a cripple like me fight? Hurry up and attack! "
"But I don't know how to fight at all!" Shen Yue shrunk his head and timidly replied, "I only know how to play healer … Jin Mu is the one fighting! I only need to be responsible for healing … "
"Trash!"
Ai Qing no longer held any hope for this cowardly fellow. She gritted her teeth and removed the last grenade from his vest. She tossed it into the midst of the swarm of Corrosives. Following a loud explosion, a thick, black blood spread out. The stench was pungent.
But the remaining dozen or so wild dogs seemed to have been aroused and became more and more excited. This time, they became more cautious, cautiously keeping a distance and carefully wandering around, looking for an opportunity.
They were like hyenas preparing to hunt, extremely cunning.
The flashlight in Shen Yue's hand had already begun to flicker.
It was difficult to work in the gradually increasing concentration of Abyss sediment …
It wasn't just the flashlight that was being corroded.
Ai Qing's face paled, and she panted violently, but her expression was still calm. She looked at the hungry monsters coldly, her fingers slowly tapping the body of the gun.
Until that moment, the light was completely extinguished.
In the darkness, the scarlet eyes of the dozen or so patrol shuttles suddenly glowed with excitement, and surrounded her amidst hissing sounds!
Ai Qing pulled the trigger.
And in the midst of the noise, a roar suddenly rang out.
"Ai Qing, don't be afraid, I'm coming to save you!!!"
In the next instant, the flashlight lit up again, and the burning Huai Shi broke through the wall.
Then, he froze in place.
What happened?
