Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Han Yuan dared not keep the demon god waiting, so he waited early. When he saw the demon god again, his heart turned cold.
It's still the same face and figure as "Quyin," but no one would ever associate it with the Quyin of the past.
Just standing there quietly, the surrounding space seemed to distort, and the aura of collapse, destruction, decay, and darkness was bound within the skin.
"Has it been found?"
A smile graced His fair, almost translucent face, with the corners of his rosy lips slightly upturned, revealing the joy in his heart.
"I have successfully completed my mission."
Han Yuan did not follow the instructions of certain people to sell lawsuits or anything like that. He was joking; his life was his own.
"In the past six months, the tentacles of an evil god have already reached Shanghai. Although its real headquarters is far away, this evil god is the closest to you."
As Han Yuan spoke, his eyes were filled with complex emotions and a sense of embarrassment. Even one of the world's most powerful cities could not stop the invasion of the evil god, and humanity was helpless. Now, they could only turn to another, even more evil and wicked god for help.
Let him keep his feelings from getting complicated.
The useless emotion lingered for a moment before being suppressed, and he continued:
"This evil god's codename is Grotesque!"
"The Bizarre was summoned to descend six months ago, and upon its arrival, it dragged a city of 700,000 people into its domain, making it the cornerstone of its existence in this world."
Han Yuan's voice grew increasingly low. Everyone knew that the chances of those 700,000 people surviving were slim. In this world, the sorrow of losing one's comrade is almost inevitable.
"Did the monstrous evil god descend and only affect one city? What did humanity do?"
The monster, who kept saying it wanted to integrate into humanity, seemed like a mistaken actor, asking questions with excitement and curiosity instead of pity.
"What else could we do? We sacrificed a large number of people and managed to inflict serious injuries when He first arrived, but that couldn't stop the city from falling. In the end, we set up an array around that area to barely delay the fall."
Han Yuan said with a somewhat dejected expression.
Each time an evil god descends, it's like cutting humanity in the back of a knife. It doesn't kill, but it weakens humanity more and more.
One after another, promising extraordinary individuals, either for the greater good or out of necessity, attempted to stop the evil god, only to perish in despair.
They slowly but surely cut the flesh with a soft knife, waiting until humanity could no longer hold on, at which point they would be overwhelmed and devoured.
Ling Xiao boasted to the system in his mind:
"Look, without me as your savior, this world is doomed to collapse."
Yes, yes, you're like the new Ultraman Tiga, saving Earth from a monster invasion, offering a weak and listless cheer.
Should we play a song about a miracle happening again?
A new storm has arrived...
At this moment, Ling Xiao was filled with an unfamiliar sense of mission and justice.
Unaware of the danger, Han continued to diligently perform his duties.
"The name 'Evil God' comes from the fact that its attack methods are very similar to some of our urban legends: bizarre, terrifying, almost unsolvable, and with a wide range of impact."
"Explain it more clearly."
The hungry demon urged them on.
"For example, a bizarre phenomenon that has spread to Shanghai is the deliveryman phenomenon. If someone hears a deliveryman knocking on the door after 7 p.m.
Once the family opens the door without warning, the delivery driver will hand them a meal and then ask for money—money that is their lifeline.
"Genuine money to buy your life."
Han Yuan trembled, his eyes filled with fear:
"Moreover, even if we manage to kill this deliveryman, two even stronger deliverymen will come to collect their debts in a few days. This time, we'll take the lives of both neighbors as well!"
Ling Xiao calmly added:
"So there's no solution. Even if you kill them once or twice, you'll eventually be unable to deal with them as they get stronger, and the number of deaths will multiply."
“That’s right, so if someone is sure they’ve encountered a delivery driver weirdo, even if he survives, we… will still kill him.”
"It's so sad."
Ling Xiao said something that sounded like a sigh, and the system nodded in agreement. It was just too damn bad.
Han Yuan closed her eyes in anguish, trying to calm herself down.
"The evil god's stronghold has been hidden and is difficult to find, but perhaps we can follow the clues by looking at the bizarre food delivery workers in Shanghai."
"After all, all the bizarre things come from that evil god."
The demon god agreed with Han Yuan's conjecture, and Han Yuan had also made all the necessary arrangements:
"Coincidentally, there is a survivor who has encountered the bizarre behavior of delivery drivers. He has already killed five delivery drivers, and the next one will be tonight."
"Hmm?" He made a cute, puzzled sound.
"How could you allow him to kill so many times?"
The system gave a disdainful look, wondering if it had just been spouting empty rhetoric and trying to evoke emotions.
"Because of Yun Han, the female sword immortal you met last time. She participated in the battle of the descent of the bizarre evil god and survived, but many of her relatives and friends died in this battle."
"So she always wanted to find a way to completely get rid of the bizarre evil god, and this survivor got her support."
Moreover, this person lived in the mountains with almost no neighbors, so the higher-ups tacitly approved it.
Han Yuan gave a long explanation, and added some more, such as how this survivor, although originally an ordinary person, had the courage to kill the deliveryman.
Moreover, he possesses extraordinary talent and a resolute and steady character. His cultivation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds.
"...He always does things unexpectedly, maybe he can actually solve the problem of the deliveryman's weirdness."
Han Yuan said it as if he were joking.
He exchanged a glance with the host and gasped.
"Living in the mountains, a mortal's rise to power, favored by a female sword immortal, possessing extraordinary talent and a resolute character, with the potential to solve the bizarre threat to the city... Isn't this the protagonist template?"
Ling Xiao also said:
"I don't know if it's a Crystal Palace story or a single female lead story. Anyway, if Yun Han hadn't been sacrificed to the heavens, she definitely would have been a leading lady."
