In front of the government office.
Corpses were neatly arranged on the ground.
The district magistrate's corpse had been pieced together, cleaned up, and placed at the very beginning.
Several officials were examining the corpses one by one.
"Most of them were killed in a single strike, clean and direct" one of them said.
"I've investigated, the one who did it was a patrol officer. He was only one person, but he blew up the government office and killed so many people, how cruel" another person said.
"But he also did it because of what the district magistrate did" another person added.
The officials fell silent.
For the past few years, the district magistrate had never reported the destruction of the surrounding villages.
They thought that everything was normal, but after a detailed investigation, they found that the Elemental seal that was given out was secretly kept by the district magistrate and not distributed to the various villages.
And now, quite a few of those villages no longer exist.
With that in mind, the officials all turned to look at the district magistrate's corpse.
A coroner sighed and said: "A single slash to cut a person in half, what a fast slash, what fierce Blade qi …"
"You're wrong" one of the officials replied.
"Sir, may I ask where this humble servant was wrong?" the other respectfully asked.
The official didn't say anything.
— — -he was originally an expert in cold weapons, as well as a Saint's Chosen who hid in the world. Even though he temporarily lost his strength, his knowledge and experience far surpassed that of normal people.
He reached out his finger and lightly stroked the cut on the district magistrate's corpse.
This was indeed a cut made by a slash.
But it wasn't Blade qi.
His original weapon … most likely wasn't a Blade …
This was a suspicious point.
There was another suspicious point — — -
While the district magistrate was in office, he didn't choose any capable people, nor did he manage the political affairs of the people. He only randomly chose a few scoundrels to fill in the numbers, as if he didn't care about anything at all.
If one were to speculate with a bit of malicious intent, they could come to another conclusion.
The district magistrate originally wanted to destroy all the villages.
Why did he do that?
The official appeared hesitant.
He silently hid his hand inside his sleeve, formed a hand seal, but didn't activate it yet.
— — -after the Samsara was rebooted, everyone originally lost their original strength, but as time passed, mages were gradually able to use a few spells.
This was the blessing of the Samsara itself.
After all, Mages did not have any close-range combat abilities. If they did not reserve any of their strength, they might not be able to survive in the current stage.
— — -however, there are strict limitations to magic, so you can't just use it whenever you want.
Many spells needed a long time to recover their magic power after being used once.
The official looked at the County Magistrate's corpse and wanted to know the whole story.
He gritted his teeth and activated his spell.
— Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, appear!
He lowered his head with his back facing the crowd. Suddenly, a golden light flashed in his eyes as he avoided everyone's gaze.
The official stared at the county magistrate's corpse for a few breaths, and the golden light in his eyes gradually disappeared.
He revealed a look of relief and muttered in a low voice, "… It's the Chosen One of the Beast King Road. He is indeed a beast in clothes. He doesn't care about the suffering of our human world at all. He is exactly the same as those bastards from the Heaven Realm …"
The official's heart was filled with anger, he simply stood up, turned around and went to fetch the horse.
"Sir, where are you going?" The others asked in a hurry.
"Go back," the official said.
"What do we do about the situation here?" A subordinate asked.
The official scoffed and replied: "With this official's strength, I wouldn't be able to kill all of them at once like that person did"
The subordinates were surprised.
Even the sir isn't a match for him?
"Then — — then what do we do?" the subordinate stammered.
"Report to the higher-ups and have them send more Combatants" the official casually replied.
Everyone exchanged glances.
This trip would take up a lot of time, after reporting to the higher-ups, the higher-ups would issue a new order, and then select more Combatants who are truly proficient in killing. That would take a very long time.
By that time, that person would have already escaped without a trace.
The official got on his horse and loudly ordered: "Leave some people to watch over the corpse, the rest of you, come back with me"
Since the superior had already said so, who would dare to resist?
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone had no choice but to respond.
…
Three days later.
Night.
Gu Qing Shan sat in front of the campfire, once again observing the wound on her arm.
The arrow had already been taken out, the wound had already scabbed over, but the pain on her arm had only gotten worse.
Gu Qing Shan breathed in deeply, took out some dry rations with one hand, then slowly ate them together with a bottle of spring water.
He had always been a very picky eater, but if the situation was dangerous and he only had dry rations with him, he wouldn't be picky.
"Strange …"
While eating, Gu Qing Shan appeared confused.
Logically speaking, since the District Magistrate had sent out the SOS signal, the pursuers should have arrived very quickly.
But three days had passed.
Not even a single person had caught up.
At first, Gu Qing Shan specifically looked for mountain paths to walk on, but after two days, when the pursuers still hadn't shown up, he switched to an open field.
— — -still no one had caught up.
He even had the courage to light a campfire now.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then casually poked the campfire to make it burn a bit more fiercely.
After killing that District Magistrate, her memories finally returned.
The situation at the time was especially dire, so to bring everyone into the Reality Gate, she had to make everyone fall asleep.
— — -even now, everyone who had connected to the [Order] were still in slumber.
When will everyone wake up?
Gu Qing Shan thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a solution, so he took out the dark orchid.
"How about I call someone else out …"
He muttered and activated [Beckoning Moon].
A red streak of light descended from the void of space in front of him, manifesting as a gate of light.
A man with a bare upper body appeared.
He wore a pair of white pants, his feet were bare, with a pair of long bone-spiked wings on his back.
Ye Fei Li.
"Ahahaha … I'm so tired from sleeping, I can finally come out and stretch my bones a bit!"
He laughed maniacally, flew for a while in the sky before landing and bumping fists with Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "I also hope that all of you can come out and help, but right now, I don't even have a basic understanding of the situation"
Ye Fei Li noticed the wound on his arm and asked with interest: "I've heard about what happened earlier from lady Black Sea — — how did you get hurt? Who could've hurt you? "
Gu Qing Shan then explained what happened and asked: "Why aren't you wearing anything at all?"
"It can't be helped, I was in the Temporal Oasis at the time and was changing my clothes in my room" while explaining, Ye Fei Li took out a can of cola from his pocket.
He took a few sips and said: "So your powers were sealed, I can act as your henchman"
Gu Qing Shan reminded him: "In this world, you can only use a single ability, all other powers are sealed"
Ye Fei Li was shocked and hurriedly said: "It's over"
"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I used my ability to fly as soon as I came out" Ye Fei Li complained.
"…" Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
Ye Fei Li is a World Destroyer, any one of her abilities would've been a great help to me against those monsters.
But he's already used his ability to fly.
"Hah, how about I go back now so you can summon someone else?" Ye Fei Li said apologetically.
"It's no use, I can only summon someone else after 24 hours" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He thought for a bit, then said: "The ability to fly isn't completely useless, I've been going to various villages and towns these past few days to release the Seal, but the Seal can only temporarily suppress the Five Elements, it can't completely eliminate the hidden dangers"
"So?" Ye Fei Li asked.
"I've asked the villagers, I know a few monsters that can't fly, we can go and challenge those that can't" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Alright, that's easy, I'll just carry you and fly" Ye Fei Li replied.
Gu Qing Shan went silent, then couldn't help but look at Ye Fei Li.
This brat isn't wearing a shirt, he's going to carry me and fly while naked?
Ye Fei Li didn't notice anything wrong and excitedly said: "We can fly as we please, as long as we fight against those monsters that can't fly, we'll be invincible, this is called a BUG in the game"
Gu Qing Shan hesitated.
Is this really alright?
A naked man carrying me while fighting?
What would happen to my reputation if word of this gets out?
But time waits for no one.
I'm already a bit late, if I stay any longer, someone else will probably get even more ahead of me.
— — I still don't know how to obtain Merit.
I need to hurry up.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and asked: "How's your flying speed?"
"Not at all!" Ye Fei Li replied.
He spread his skeletal wings and flew through the sky like a blurred image, so fast that he couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
Gu Qing Shan calmed down a bit and decided: "Alright, we'll first fly to a village in the South-East direction, it's not too far away, we should be able to reach it very quickly"
"Let's go!" Ye Fei Li said.
A few moments later.
Under the night sky.
A bare-chested man was carrying another man wearing a suit of soft armor, staggering as they flew forward.
"Hey, Gu Qing Shan"
"What is it?"
"Actually, the two of us can create a team and give ourselves a name"
A name?
If a name is recognized by all living beings in this world, it would have a unique power.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit tempted, but hesitantly said: "… I have a headache coming up with a name, let's just forget about it"
"I have an idea" Ye Fei Li said.
"Hm? What should we call it? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"You don't even have time to date, while I'm single-minded — — so we're both good men, aren't we?"
"That's true, so what should we call it?"
"The Original Pure Love group" Ye Fei Li replied.
Gu Qing Shan froze.
Originally, carrying a man while flying was already enough to make one's imagination run wild, but with such a name, even if they become famous later on, it wouldn't be good if anyone asked about it.
"… Fine, I'll think about it" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Have you thought of one yet?" Ye Fei Li asked. "Give me 3 years" Gu Qing Shan cautiously replied.
…
10 minutes later.
The Original Pure Love group was flying above a mountain.
The two of them looked down at the same time.
Gu Qing Shan reminded him: "Be careful, this guy can't fly, but it's still a bit powerful for us right now"
"It's fine, I can fly" Ye Fei Li confidently replied.
A few hundred meters below them, a giant lizard the size of a hill opened its eyes.
As the lizard silently listened to their conversation, a hint of ridicule could be seen in its cruel eyes.
It suddenly puffed up its mouth and breathed out a dark green fog towards the sky.
The fog rose to the sky, quickly spreading towards the two of them.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan saw the green fog, she knew that it wasn't good.
Now that both of their powers were sealed, one could only fly, the other could only fight in close combat, if they were to get hit by the poisonous fog, they would most likely die here.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said: "Hurry hurry hurry hurry run! That fog is poisonous! "
"What the fuck! What the fuck! This monster is playing tricks! "
Ye Fei Li shouted and hurriedly carried Gu Qing Shan towards the sky.
