“Yes.” Cha Yizhou readily admitted, his hands in his pockets as he looked at the illuminated crimson array: “This array is a large-scale illusion array that reflects the moon, creating the illusion of a blood moon night.”
"And then?" Tang Hongshan stared at him and pressed for an answer.
“On the night of the blood moon, the frenzied activity of demons, monsters, and the undead will increase threefold,” Cha Yizhou said. “Only then will they show themselves, because they need to feed on this night to control their bodies.”
"Then why are they all heading towards the south of the city?" Tang Hongshan asked, frowning, sensing that something was amiss.
Cha Yizhou smiled and said, "Because here, there is something that will attract them."
"What is that?"
"The Apostle of the White Death."
Tang Hongshan's expression changed.
Cha Yizhou explained, "The dead are naturally drawn to the Grim Reaper, but if the Grim Reaper himself is not powerful enough and his power cannot subdue the dead, the dead will try to rebel and kill the Grim Reaper. In that case, they will be completely free and will not have to worry about being taken back to the world of the dead."
"At the same time, if they can consume the soul of the Grim Reaper, it will greatly enhance their cultivation level."
Now, Tang Hongshan understood completely.
"You fucking!"
Tang Hongshan suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and glared at him angrily: "You used my people as bait?!"
Cha Yizhou was pulled back by him, but he wasn't in a hurry. He said softly, "He is a night watchman. He should bear the risk of protecting the city and driving away monsters."
Tang Hongshan's eyes reddened: "You!"
"Are you crazy! The south side of the city is full of bustling areas. Besides those low-level, non-combat-capable superhumans from Yecheng University, there are also many ordinary people! You've brought so many undead monsters here. Have you thought about the consequences?!"
"Of course I've thought about it." Cha Yizhou maintained his calm and collected expression and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, think about it yourself."
"If we use normal methods, how long would it take you Night Watchmen to wipe out all those undead? A week? A month? Or even longer?"
"If some of those undead have the ability to possess the living, such as spirit-devouring monsters, then you may never find them. They may blend into our race and never be discovered, and then continue to reproduce and evolve into even more terrifying monsters, devouring the souls of more people."
"By then, there will be even more casualties, and even if we use the Blood Night Array, we won't be able to lure them out anymore."
"......"
Tang Hongshan gritted his teeth; he wished he could punch this stinky Taoist priest in the face!
"Even so, before you use this formation, you should at least notify us so we can evacuate the people in the vicinity! And at least let our night watchmen be prepared!"
Cha Yizhou said calmly, "Those undead creatures are not ordinary undead. Unlike human undead skeleton warriors who have no self-awareness, they were mythical creatures with demonic or even divine bloodlines in their previous lives. Even after becoming undead, they still retain considerable intelligence."
"If your Night Watch had prepared an ambush here in advance and evacuated the crowd, do you think those undead monsters would still have appeared?"
"If you calm down and think about it carefully, you will understand that my approach is the one that prioritizes the overall situation, minimizes the harm, and is the most efficient."
"..." Tang Hongshan was so angry that his veins were bulging, but he had nothing to say.
"Beep beep!"
The system's incoming call tone sounded again.
"Team Leader Tang! All those undead creatures have entered the south of the city! I'm sending you the radar map now!"
Tang Hongshan turned to look at the system panel.
A city map appeared on the panel, covered with at least several hundred tiny red dots.
Each small red dot represents an undead monster, and they are moving rapidly, all surrounding Yecheng University!
I'll settle the score with you later!
Tang Hongshan abruptly released Cha Yizhou and immediately made a phone call: "Hey, Lin Nai, Yu Xi, Xiao Chuan, can you hear me?"
Lin Nai, Lin Yuxi, and Jiang Zhou had just reunited when they received a call from Tang Hongshan.
"Team Leader Tang, we can hear you." Lin Yuxi said happily, "I was just about to call you to tell you that we have completed the mission and those spirit-devouring monsters have been dealt with."
"Let's not talk about that now!" Tang Hongshan said, "You all need to get out of there quickly, a lot of undead creatures are heading your way!"
Just as Lin Nai was about to say something, a violent beastly roar suddenly rang out.
"Awoo!"
A gigantic skeletal wolf, as big as a truck, appeared on the roof of the dormitory, howling at the sky.
The students in the open space at the bottom of the dormitory building were all dumbfounded.
"What...what's going on?"
"Is this also a special effect?"
Lin Yuxi's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and she shouted at the students who were still standing there dumbfounded, "Special effects my ass! Those are real undead bone wolves! Run if you don't want to be eaten!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Skeleton Wolf leaped down from the roof of the dormitory building.
A huge shadow loomed over the group of students at the bottom of the dormitory building...
"Ahhh!!"
Only then did the students realize that this wasn't a special effect, and they fled in terror, tumbling and crawling.
boom--!
The skeletal wolf crashed down, kicking up a cloud of dust, and instantly crushed the two boys who hadn't had time to escape into a bloody pulp!
Like a crushed tomato, it sprays and splashes in all directions.
The roar was earth-shattering!
Lin Nai quickly dodged into a corner, thus avoiding being trampled to death by the skeleton wolf.
Then he used the Gray Eyes to see through the layers of gray smoke and dust, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Yuxi and Jiang Zhou were both safe for the time being.
After the skeleton wolf jumped down, it turned its head and looked around for something.
Finally, its scarlet, savage eyes locked onto Linnaeus!
"roar!"
It opened its massive jaws, raised its huge wolf claws, and swung them down!
Lin Nai's heart tightened, and she dodged the attack.
"boom!"
"Boom..."
A stone pillar at the base of the dormitory building was easily broken like a crispy ice cream cone.
The walls collapsed, and the floors broke apart!
Linnaeus used his agility to maneuver around him.
"Lock!"
At that moment, a clear and melodious shout rang out.
It's ginger porridge.
Several talismans flew out and landed at the four corners around the skeleton wolf.
Then, a thick black iron chain emerged from these talismans and bound the limbs of the giant skeletal wolf!
The skeleton wolf struggled several times but couldn't break free.
At this moment, a dozen more pink bubbles floated over and surrounded the skeleton wolf.
"break!"
This time it's Lin Yuxi's voice.
boom--!
The bubble exploded, and pink flames engulfed the skeleton wolf!
