This is the time of the day when the sun is at its brightest. Although it is not yet midsummer, the sun in April is already somewhat scorching.

The sun lingers in this small village, illuminating the pedestrians so much that they can hardly open their eyes. Wooden houses that have not yet been completely saturated with modern atmosphere are scattered on both sides, and one can vaguely glimpse the past pastoral and leisurely life.

Time has left some last bit of mercy on this place, so that people here live longer and have more experience.

But today, some unfamiliar guests came to this leisurely and elegant village.

There were two tall men. One wore a tight grey suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He always had a gentle smile on his face, which gave him a soft and elegant bookish vibe. The other was relatively taller, with a black suit that covered his muscles, but one could still vaguely see his explosive body hidden beneath his clothes.

These mysterious-looking guests usually appear not in this village, let alone in nearby towns. Not many people have ever seen such guests.

When they arrived at the village, the first thing they wanted was to ask the village chief to help lead the way and give them a tour of the village.

"We are from the United Chamber of Commerce. Aren't organic vegetables very popular recently? So we plan to find a good piece of land to grow some pure natural and pollution-free products and sell them to those rich people in the future."

The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses smiled and said, "After investigation, we chose this location. This is a great thing. If it can be done, the economy of our village will definitely increase significantly."

Listening to the man's words, the village chief subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

However, soon his eyes met the man's.

When seeing the pair of eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses, an invisible and strong thought emerged in the village's mind - that is, what this man said seemed to make sense.

If this is done, the village will probably really be given a new look.

Soon, the village chief, who was originally very resistant, immediately changed his tone: "I understand. Since this is a good thing that will benefit our villagers, I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

"How about this, you guys go out and look around, and see which piece of land you want to take. As long as there's no one there, you can choose whatever you want!"

As he said this, the village chief patted his chest, indicating that he would definitely do what he said.

The man chuckled after getting the answer he wanted.

"Then I'd like to thank you in advance," he said. "Please find a young man who is familiar with the history of the village to lead us."

"When we choose a piece of land, we also look at the Feng Shui. If someone has died on this piece of land before, then we will definitely not choose it."

Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately said, "Okay, I'll let my son go with you! He grew up here and loves running around! If he comes, he will definitely know which areas are taboo and which areas are okay!"

As he said this, the village chief stood up from his chair and said he would go and call his son.

After the village chief left, the man with gold-rimmed glasses sat upright on a rattan chair, took out a pack of soft and delicate cigarettes from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

The man in a black suit next to him understood what he meant and immediately took out his lighter to light the cigarette for the man with gold-rimmed glasses.

As he nodded, he smiled at the man with gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Your Excellency's magic is becoming more and more sophisticated. Just a glance can give a hint, or even change a person's point of view."

Hearing this, the man with gold-rimmed glasses chuckled and said, "Human psychology is easy to understand."

He smoked a cigarette and blew a smoke ring from between his teeth: "Greed, jealousy, admiration for power, irritability, there is no species in this world with richer emotions than humans. There is no prey more delicious than them."

“Every time I absorb emotions from those people, I feel genuine joy. They create so many possibilities and beautiful things, but they are the ones who are most likely to destroy those things with their own hands. This contradiction and complexity makes me deeply immersed in it.”

After sighing for a while, the man with gold-rimmed glasses glanced at the person next to him: "Where's Lan Kong? How is he doing now?"

Hearing this, the man in black suit looked embarrassed.

"Lord Lankong... he still hasn't woken up," the man in the black suit said, "We have tried our best to treat him, but sir, you know, the body structure of the gods is not similar to ours..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head in fear and his tone was full of apology.

Looking at the man in black suit and gold-rimmed glasses, he smiled and stretched out his hand.

He patted the head of the man in the black suit and said softly, "Of course I know. As human beings, it is normal that you cannot understand the sacred body with your shallow knowledge."

"I will not blame you for these little things, because I clearly understand that each of you joined the Religion of God with the most ardent sincerity and the purest faith. You are the people who believe in God. Even though the God you believe in is not me, I am a brother and sister to them, and I will not be stingy with my embrace to those honest and trustworthy believers."

He gently hugged the man in the black suit and said in a gentle voice: "This is the calamity destined for the Blue Sky Lord, and you are the believer who held His robe on the road to the calamity. You stood beside the Blue Sky Lord and shed tears for the calamity He suffered, which means that you are the most sincere believer, and no one can do better than you.

"It's just because you are in that position. This is destiny, and it's the reward given by the gods for your loyalty."

Listening to the words of the man with gold-rimmed glasses, the man in the black suit raised his head and said in a choked voice: "Master Qingguang..."

Patting his shoulder, in the blind spot where the man in black suit couldn't see, Qingguang's eyes were sharp and dark.

"Lan Kong is such a loser," he thought to himself, "according to the original plan, we should have defeated that scholar, or killed Xiao Qing and Xun Mo, or captured Qi Guang."

Unexpectedly, all of the guy's limbs were removed, and even his eyes were poked out. When he came back, he looked like a dead dog.

As expected, he was a young general from a small country who was destroyed by the "Genji". He deserved that his entire family be killed and the people be massacred!

It would be strange if such a waste didn't cause the destruction of the country and the family! If it weren't for the fact that the other guys were busy with other things and he didn't have many people to use, why would he need to do it himself now? Deep malice flashed in his eyes, and after a moment, Qingguang withdrew his hand.

He looked at the man in the black suit and said softly, "This mission is very critical. It is necessary for the 'Grand Memorial Ceremony' three months later, so we must keep it secret."

"Just keep going, because my eyes are always behind you. As long as you move forward, the other eight gods will be with you."

The man nodded vigorously after receiving the response.

He had already made preparations before coming.

We must find the corpse hidden in this village!
