As the sun dipped below the horizon, its golden rays bathed the entire city.
Unfortunately, it was an empty, dead city, and no one appreciated the beautiful sunset.
Xia Tianqiong stood in the middle of a street, her brows furrowed.
Even if the King of Ghosts is coming, he is not afraid, but the human world is about to be swallowed up by the Ghost Realm, and the vast majority of humans will perish prematurely because of him.
Thinking about this makes me feel a little heavy-hearted.
People who have experienced an apocalypse should be cold-hearted and selfish enough.
But when the fate of all humanity rests on the shoulders of one person, no matter how indifferent or selfish one may be, it is difficult to remain calm.
“Master, a fierce monster has come to the human world about ten miles to the left, and about nine miles to the right front, more than a dozen strange creatures have entered, mostly wild and fierce monsters.”
The old woman in the funeral clothes' voice suddenly rang in my head.
Xia Tianqiong withdrew his thoughts, said nothing, and with a thought, released all the strange creatures he had just contracted, letting them go and catch other strange creatures.
This time, the harvest was quite fruitful. In addition to one cunning general, there were two fierce cunning creatures, six vicious cunning creatures, fifteen evil cunning creatures, more than thirty fierce cunning creatures, and more than five hundred wild cunning creatures.
The boy with glasses is a student ghost. His ghost domain has a magical characteristic: it can turn humans into students. If they are not eaten by other ghosts, they will eventually be affected by the ghost domain and have a certain chance of becoming a ghost themselves.
The teachers and students inside were originally human, but they were transformed into monsters within its eerie realm.
The more than one thousand human students who are still alive are the survivors of this city. If it weren't for Xia Tianqiong, they would have become monsters sooner or later.
The city originally had more than three million people, but after entering the Ghost Realm, the vast majority of them were killed by various rules.
Most of the survivors were originally high school students; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to remember their high school knowledge.
They went to capture a group of strange contracted monsters and returned quickly, having forced all the captured monsters to sign contracts.
Xia Tianqiong looked at the sky; the sun had already set, and night was gradually falling.
As he was about to leave, looking at the empty city, he suddenly thought of something and immediately released a group of contracted ghosts, as well as several thousand more from the chessboard world.
Everything in this city is unclaimed, which is perfect for developing his little world.
It's a city with over three million people, after all. With grain depots, oil depots, and various shopping malls and warehouses, it must have a large amount of supplies.
Furthermore, the equipment, machinery, materials, and so on in those factories can all be collected and used to build various factories directly in the chessboard world in the future.
Xia Tianqiong pointed ahead and said to the crowd and the demons, "Go and empty this city. Take everything that is useful."
At a single command, hundreds of monsters and thousands of humans sprang into action simultaneously.
This certainly can't be completed in a short time, so we can only stay here for two days for now.
The collected resources are all piled up together and then stored in the mirror space or the chessboard world.
Xia Tianqiong handed over all the work to his subordinates and prepared to find a place to rest.
Just then, a large cloud of gray mist suddenly appeared at the intersection ahead, emitting a faint golden light.
Upon closer inspection, isn't this the Wujian Restaurant?
How did it happen to appear right in front of me?
As the restaurant appeared, the token in his pocket also gave a notification.
I haven't seen the Ghost Bride for over two years, and I really miss her. It's also time for the red veil to be recharged.
Xia Tianqiong gave instructions to his men to continue collecting supplies, and then hurriedly entered the Wujian Restaurant.
...
At this moment, an emergency meeting is being held in the headquarters office in the capital.
Director Zhang's expression was unusually serious. After everyone had arrived, he slowly spoke, "Everyone, Elder Huo just sensed that the world has suddenly changed, with countless new passages connecting to the Ghost Realm."
Some of them can enter the realm of the spirits, and some passages are even accessible to the spirit king, thus allowing them to arrive in our human world ahead of schedule.
Everyone was shocked by these words.
If it's just a ghost general coming to the human world, it won't threaten the capital. But if a ghost king comes, then it's dangerous. After all, the capital only has Elder Huo as a ghost king, and he's not the kind of ghost king who's good at fighting.
Someone asked, "How could the world suddenly change so much? Could it be that variable that caused it again?"
In an instant, all eyes turned to Director Zhang.
Director Zhang sighed slightly, glanced at Old Huo beside him, and then slowly nodded, "It should be him. Only he can influence this world."
The expressions on the faces of everyone present were not very good.
Suddenly someone angrily said, "Back when the strange phenomena hadn't started to descend on a large scale, Old Huo divined that the human world could hold out for five years before social order collapsed, and then struggle for decades before humanity might perish."
But ever since that variable appeared, that timeline has been moving forward. In less than three years, we've already entered the apocalypse, and now the Demon King is about to appear. Perhaps in just a few years, humanity will be completely wiped off this world.
As soon as this person finished speaking, someone else immediately chimed in, "I disagreed with leaving him alone from the start. Since he's a variable, we should have eliminated him sooner rather than later. Now look what's happened, let's all perish together with him!"
"Hasn't his 'Sealing the Deception' chessboard already evolved into a real world? Let's ask him for it; at least we can preserve some of humanity's flame within it. Such an important thing can't be left in his hands any longer."
"Yes, I agree with the proposal."
"Isn't that a bad idea? What if it causes even bigger trouble?"
Inside the meeting room, the group gradually began to argue.
Some people complained about Xia Tianqiong, some held opposing views, and others remained silent.
