"Mo Xie? Good name … "
Chung Shen-soo smiled and grabbed at the air.
A brand-new black notebook appeared, and he casually lit it up, turning it into a huge red scroll.
"Young girl, are you willing to sign a contract with me and become an Arcane Trickster?"
He asked in all seriousness.
"Arcane Trickster? Can I get rid of those evil spirits after becoming an Arcane Trickster? "Mo Xie looked at the monk's corpse and asked seriously.
"You can't kill them completely, but you can try to seal and expel them."
Chung Shen-soo answered.
In fact, she didn't have much of a choice.
If she didn't become an Arcane Trickster, this village would be abandoned. A large group of people would flee and most would starve to death.
She was a little girl, so the chances of her dying were higher.
"Then, I accept!"
The little girl took the scroll calmly.
"There are some of my research and records on Arcane Trickster on it … At the same time, sign your name with your blood, and you can become an Arcane Trickster."
Chung Shen-soo smiled and his figure gradually became illusory.
Only the little girl was left, holding the scroll that was about her height. Her eyes were slightly dazed, and she immediately knelt down.
She treated Chung Shen-soo as some kind of god …
…
In the depths of a different dimension.
The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle began to fall.
If it was in the real world, this wouldn't be much. But here, it was fatal.
Because what was falling from the sky was a blood-red rain!
In an ancient floating city.
Every door was tightly shut, and no passersby dared to move around outside.
This was a world that was born because of a curse. Everyone faced the threat of Arcane Tricksters. They constantly went through all kinds of trials, just to compete for the final qualified "vessel"!
Thus, the appearance of Arcane Tricksters was common knowledge here!
Occasionally, there would be large-scale Arcane Tricksters that would choose many people to go through bloody and cruel trials.
Sometimes, all would be wiped out, and sometimes only one or two people would survive.
And every sixty years, there would be an extremely terrifying final trial. Only the winners of each trial could participate. The result was the same as always, complete annihilation.
This kind of blood rain was very common in Lin Gu City, and it represented a Arcane Trickster!
The range of the opponent's Ghost Hits Wall was extremely large, often able to envelop an entire city at once.
Then, Specter would appear in the blood rain and kill anyone who touched the blood rain!
The pitter-patter of rain fell on the corner of the street, gathered in the gaps between the eaves, and flowed down slowly.
Holding the black umbrella, Chung Shen-soo strolled leisurely in the rain of blood. "That's strange … The outside world is ancient, and so is this world … Is this a reflection of the real world, so any technological progress and development, as well as the changes in people's living habits, will appear here through the sea of subconscious?"
He walked around and roughly understood the rules of operation here.
As for the King of Mysteries?
He had even transformed into thousands of strange creatures and was in a state of split sleep.
"If I take action now, I can easily wipe him out, but the cost of the space-time backlash is a little too great …"
After rebooting such a long time, Chung Shen-soo also understood the operating rules.
Generally speaking, it was just a small matter that could be changed. However, if he wanted to change the bigger picture, he would have to be prepared that history would change beyond recognition and he would have to bear all of the consequences.
Even with his current strength of the Dharmakaya level, it seemed that he could not bear such a drastic change.
"In short, if I kill the King of Mysteries now, I might not be able to return to the 'future'. I can only stay in this space-time and slowly wait for history to advance to that moment …
"Or perhaps, I need to leave enough power and incarnation to play the role of the King of Mysteries and assume his historical role? Only then can I calm the space-time backlash and return to the future. Then, I realize that the King of Mysteries is still me … I feel that doing this has a lot of hidden dangers, and I might really become schizophrenic … "
"No, I have to think of a more clever way …"
He thought for a moment, and immediately a giant Eight Trigrams appeared behind him, and he began to calculate.
The divination of the Supreme Dragon Tiger Sect was also the best in the world.
Moreover, he already knew most of the history, and the development of this small world was incomparably clear to him.
After an unknown period of time, Chung Shen-soo had a thought and stepped into the void.
When he reappeared, he was already in another corner of the city.
"My husband!"
A mournful cry sounded from the street.
Chung Shen-soo walked over and saw a man standing outside a house.
He looked flustered as he looked at the bloody mark on his body.
It was proof that he had been stained by the blood rain, and it represented the fate of being cursed.
No matter where he ran, he would be caught by the Sly and killed!
"This person … probably didn't pay attention when the blood rain fell and got a little stained. How unlucky …"
Nearby, some windows were opened, and many prying eyes were staring at this scene.
Chung Shen-soo could even read a lot of thoughts from their eyes.
The man's expression was one of panic as he looked into the house where his wife, who was pregnant, was.
At this moment, his wife was holding a kitchen knife, and she was trembling as she stared at the man.
"Ah Jia, what are you waiting for? Quick! "
Next to him, a white-haired father shouted, "Killing him now is better than letting the Sly kill him! Once he is killed by the Sly, he will become a part of the blood rain and even come back to claim his life … "
Once the marked person was killed by the Sly, he would become the Sly's slave and return home on the first seven nights to claim the lives of his loved ones.
Only by committing the crime of murdering one's family could this cycle end.
There was no reason why. The Sly just liked to play this trick to torture people's rationality.
Even the gazes around him were urging him to hurry up.
"I … I can't do it …"
With a clang, the kitchen knife in the woman's hand fell to the ground, and she cried bitterly.
"If you don't do it, I'll do it."
The old man's expression became fierce. He picked up the kitchen knife and took a step forward.
"Father …" the man called out. The old man's eyes were also red, and he squatted on the ground. "What a sin, the Sifang family has also suffered …"
He thought that he had a lot of experience in dealing with the Sly, otherwise, he would not have lived to this age. He also taught his son step by step and avoided many dangers.
However, accidents always came when one was not expecting it.
"Sir, can I have a word with you …"
At this moment, Chung Shen-soo walked over with a black umbrella.
The old man and the others were all stunned.
The blood rain in the sky was hazy, and when it fell three feet away from the black umbrella, it was bounced off. Not even a corner of the man's clothes was wet.
"Lord Exorcist! You are the Lord Exorcist, right? "
The old man hurriedly kowtowed in the house. "That's great … My son can be saved."
'It seems that this inner world has developed a system of borrowing supernatural powers earlier than the outside world …'
Chung Shen-soo thought to himself as he closed the umbrella and entered the house with the man.
