Chapter 77 Breaking the Game
The next day, everyone packed their luggage before dawn.
It was called luggage, but in fact it was just an off-road vehicle and dry food that were contributed by the Yulang City Special Management Bureau and were more suitable for driving in the Gobi Desert.
As for people, the Yulang City Special Management Bureau really doesn't plan to send out a single person.
"Wei Xingchang!? What do you mean? We're here to clean up your mess, and none of you came with us!?"
Zhang Wenlin was so angry that he started cursing at the gate of Yulang Special Management Bureau early in the morning.
Director Wei stayed in his room and didn't dare to go out. He just asked someone to tell Zhang Wenlin and others that he had caught a cold last night and would not see them off.
"Forget it, Chief Zhang. Director Wei isn't a combatant anyway. He won't be able to help much even if he goes."
Li Muhan advised, Zhang Wenlin sighed deeply, and finally got into the car with a cold snort.
Yulong City is about half a day's drive from Yumen Pass, and we can arrive there around noon today.
But even before they approached Yumen Pass, Hati and Xia Yue could clearly feel the huge dark clouds covering the sky.
"If we really want to fight, we should be no less powerful than them, right?"
Li Muhan saw that everyone looked solemn and couldn't help but ask.
"This matter may not be resolved in the most direct way."
It was Hati who answered Li Muhan. Her face remained calm, but her brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the Yumen Pass shrouded in dark clouds.
After leaving Yulang City, the wind and sand of the Gobi Desert immediately made the few people feel the northwestern style.
Even the cell phone signal became intermittent.
Xia Yue, who was originally playing Candy Crush on her mobile phone, suddenly sighed with some dissatisfaction. When Li Muhan asked her what was going on, she handed the phone to Li Muhan.
"It's broken."
Li Muhan took the phone and saw that it indeed could not be turned on.
Later, Zhang Wenlin told Li Muhan that it was because of the magnets in the wind and sand that the phone could hardly function normally.
Fortunately, the driver Lin Ze assigned to them was very capable. Even in such sandy weather, he could drive the car to the destination accurately.
Finally, at 11 o'clock in the morning, the car stopped in front of the tall and magnificent Yumen Pass city gate.
It is said that this was once an ancient battlefield, where famous generals from various dynasties of China fought against foreign invasions. While leaving behind many beautiful stories, they also buried countless corpses under the yellow sand.
As soon as he got off the car, Li Muhan could feel a terrible pressure that made it almost impossible for him to raise his head.
"It is indeed so."
Zhang Wenlin frowned and said.
"After more than ten years, all the evil spirits killed by the ghost general have turned into evil spirits. This matter has become complicated."
"Why is it so complicated? Can't we just use brute force to drive away the ghost general?"
Li Muhan asked.
Hati shook his head.
"In our nation's mythology, there's a paradise only accessible to warriors who died heroically in battle. It's called Valhalla. This tower now appears to be a Valhalla, but it doesn't gather warriors, but the souls of those who died at the hands of warriors. The Ghost General is its sole guardian. Once the Ghost General leaves, the demonic spirits here will immediately engulf all surrounding lands, including Yulong City."
"How come this ghost general only cares about killing and not burying?"
Li Muhan said unhappily.
Since we can't use tough measures, we must find a solution.
Just then, an off-road vehicle drove up from behind.
Li Muhan and others thought it was a tourist and were about to go up to persuade him to change the route when they saw that the person getting out of the car was Wei Xingchang.
Although he was very scared at this time, he was still fully armed and rushed over.
"Sorry, everyone, I forgot to tell you something."
Wei Xingchang said timidly.
"If you wish to enter Yumen Pass, you must dismantle the barrier we have set up. Once the barrier is broken, all the evil spirits and wronged souls will swarm out. Even the power of the ghost generals will not be able to confine them all."
"Fuck! Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Li Muhan was a little angry this time.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid if I tell you... you'll be scared."
When Li Muhan thought of the thousands of evil spirits and wronged souls, he remembered what the nightmare had made him encounter in the tower.
And now it will only be more difficult, because those that Nightmare collected at that time were the souls of innocent people who died in vain.
And in this Yumen Pass, in the ancient battlefield, there exist the wronged souls of ancient soldiers who are full of murderous intent.
"You come now, do you have any solution?"
Zhang Wenlin looked at Wei Xingchang coldly.
"...No, after opening the seal, we can only leave people outside and inside Yumen Pass to prevent evil spirits from invading, while the others deal with the ghost generals."
After hearing Wei Xingchang's words, everyone fell silent.
At this time, Wei Xingchang suddenly took out a pistol.
"Don't worry, everyone. I, Wei Xingchang, am no pushover. I'll stay here. Those evil spirits have a natural hatred for the people from the Yulang City Special Management Bureau. We are the ones who have detained them here, so I'll..."
"Little Moon and I will come."
Hati interrupted Wei Xingchang.
Xia Yue said "Hmm?" and turned to look at Hati.
"Why do you want me to go with you? You can do it on your own.
"Those are ancient war spirits, and there are so many of them. Of us here, perhaps only you and I have the ability to stop them. And I alone can't guarantee that no evil spirits will sneak in, so you guard the inside of the gate, and I'll guard the outside. How about that?"
"...I don't want to listen to you."
Xia Yue turned her head away angrily.
Finally, Li Muhan rubbed Xia Yue's hair and said.
"Okay, she's the captain now, so just listen to her. I'll buy you something delicious when we get back."
"...get a super-sized sundae with a fruit boat."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Wei Xingchang looked at the two girls blankly and asked.
"You, you two, can you?"
Zhang Wenlin snorted coldly.
"Ten thousand of you combined wouldn't be enough to match a finger of these two."
But after saying this, he slowed down his tone.
"But you're still willing to stand up, Wei Xingchang. It seems you're not hopeless."
"...After all, my senior brother sacrificed himself to protect our entire Yulang City. If I don't stand up at this time, wouldn't I be worse than pigs and dogs?"
So after the division of labor was clear.
Wei Xingchang took out a talisman.
"Are you ready, everyone? Once I activate the barrier, you must quickly enter the ancient building above the Yumen Pass wall. The evil spirits and wronged souls will then be released. Ladies, are you sure you're okay with this?"
"Stop talking so much, hurry up."
Xia Yue, who was originally going to cooperate with Hati, was already very unhappy. Now seeing that the other party was procrastinating, she immediately became furious.
"Okay, okay."
Wei Xingchang silently chanted a spell.
Then they saw a barrier gradually appearing around Yumen Pass.
"break!"
Wei Xingchang gave a final loud shout, and the talisman began to burn. As the talisman burned out, the barrier covering Yumen Pass gradually began to shatter.
Finally, accompanied by a shrill howl, countless wronged souls and evil spirits began to rush out from the city wall of Yumen Pass.
"It's up to you! Xia Yue, Hati!"
Li Muhan looked at the two of them and said.
Hati twisted his neck, looking relaxed and comfortable.
"I haven't had a serious fight in a long time."
Then her body suddenly began to swell and turned into a giant white wolf.
"I won't let any evil spirit pass."
Xia Yue also transformed into a vampire.
"Realm, Scarlet Hunt."
"The realm is cold and snowy."
"Unfold."
The two spoke almost in unison. At the same time, the yellow sand was replaced by snow and the sun was replaced by the bright red moonlight.
The white wolf that Hati transformed into let out a long howl towards the sky, then suddenly leaped over the city wall and arrived at the main gate of Yumen Pass.
"What are you waiting for? Come on up."
Xia Yue glared at Zhang Wenlin and the others, and then took a fighting stance.
"Let's go, Chief Zhang, Chief Wei, let's solve this problem quickly."
Li Muhan urged, and then took the lead and rushed to the city wall.
They climbed up the city wall almost in one breath, and Li Muhan directly used his body to knock open the door of the ancient building.
With a loud bang, the wooden door was violently slammed open, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making it almost impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
Along with this gloomy wind came countless wailing and crying.
All the voices were begging for mercy, praying to the ghost general to let them go. Li Muhan knew that these voices were the evil spirits transformed from the evil spirits that were killed.
Because they were too close to the city wall, they couldn't leave even if the seal was lifted now.
And the huge figure of the ghost general also appeared in front of everyone.
He was wearing black and gold armor, and his face under the helmet was pitch black, completely devoid of any facial features. He exuded a green ghostly aura from his entire body.
A long black knife was placed beside him against the wall.
In front of him was a huge chess table, and each chess piece was almost the size of a fist.
The ghost general didn't care about the people who broke in at all. All his roars were directed in one direction, which was the dried-up skeleton sitting right in front of him.
"That's my senior brother, Director Xie Chengtian..."
Wei Xingchang said with a choked voice.
For some reason, after seeing Xie Chengtian's dry bones, Li Muhan felt a surge of sadness in his heart.
This director possesses astonishing talent, but is unable to display it due to physical reasons. However, even when he was demoted to a small special management bureau like Yulang City, he still gave his all, even at the cost of his life, to defend it all.
Li Muhan also silently made up his mind to make sure this game of chess has a perfect ending.
"Didn't it notice us?"
Seeing that the ghost general had no reaction to the entry of the crowd, the driver asked with some confusion.
Zhang Wenlin frowned at this time. After all, the underworld and ghosts were not his forte. If the Supernatural Management Department was here, things would be much easier.
"wrong."
Li Muhan walked up to the ghost general, knocked on his armor, then looked up and spoke to several people.
"Its soul isn't here."
