"A messenger of ghosts and gods?" Du Jun murmured softly.
Sihai rubbed his forehead. "Does this mean that the 'gods' in the city need humans to serve them?"
"Maybe it's just for a treat; pure emotional energy is a feast!" Ono scoffed.
Cheng Shuang lowered her eyes slightly, tugged at the hems of Du Jun and Si Hai's clothes, and whispered a name—Qing Lang.
The two men immediately lost their relaxed expressions. Sihai turned to Ono and the other two and suggested, "I don't think the ghost is very strong. Why don't we split up? We have a personal grudge against someone that we need to settle."
"Let's discuss it." The three huddled together, whispered a few words, and finally gave Sihai an apologetic look. "Alright, we'll go into the city first. Farewell!"
“By the way, can we trade you two firearms and the corresponding bullets?” Yamei suddenly had a bright idea. She took out an inconspicuous button-like electronic device. “I’ll trade you this—the AI tracker.”
Ono and the police officer were slightly taken aback. Although they felt a little regretful, they did not stop them. They had many gadgets on hand, most of which were not very powerful. It would be ideal if they could exchange them for something more substantial.
Sihai didn't take the button, but instead asked Yami, "How do I do it?"
They certainly don't lack firearms. Back in the Resident Evil world, Cheng Shuang emptied two or three weapon shops in just a few months, not to mention Du Lanshan, who has been there for over a decade. However, firearms are sometimes less effective against homeless people than cards. So far, they haven't consumed many, and it would be good if they could be used for trade.
Ya Mei, understanding their meaning, immediately realized that they didn't reject her suggestion, and happily began to demonstrate how to use the button. "Enter keywords into the button, preferably names, ages, heights, and other information, the more detailed the better. As long as it's in the same world, it can find its way." A virtual screen shot out from the button, and she selected a vampire's measurements and other information, entered them, and then gestured to Si Hai to have the vampire hide further away.
After the vampire flew away, she pressed the button, and two transparent wings emerged from the button. It soared into the air, circled once in the void, and then landed back in Yamei's palm.
A moment later, the button popped up a virtual screen again, displaying: The target's location is fifty miles due east.
Si Hai looked at Cheng Shuang with a questioning gaze. The young girl suppressed her eagerness and slowly nodded.
The deal was struck, and the three of them didn't linger. Since they had chosen to go their separate ways, they naturally wouldn't deliberately try to get close to them and find out who their enemy was; that would be too tactless and annoying.
Seeing that the three of them entered the city without any hindrance, Cheng Shuang activated the button, marking Qing Lang's name and height, and adding a wolf demon race.
Although Ryusuke, as a tamed demon, guards Du Jun's side, Du Jun's current appearance is still the same as Ryusuke's. However, the two have very different temperaments, and their most distinctive heterochromatic eyes have disappeared. Therefore, they are not considered to be the same person.
So Cheng Shuang wanted to take a gamble, what if Qing Lang was still a wolf demon?
The button hovered in the air for quite a while, flying east and west like a busy little bee. After a long time, it finally landed back.
It gave two answers: one was the wolf demon village a thousand miles away, and the other was right in the city.
"Let's go into the city," Cheng Shuang decided without hesitation.
There is only one Realm of Gods. Since Qinglang is the maintainer and the twenty-four-hour deadline given by the Gate of Reincarnation is approaching, it is unlikely that he would go to such a far place.
Even though Cheng Shuang was determined to seek revenge on Qing Lang, she did not overlook the scene after stepping into the city gate: men and women dressed in hospital gowns knelt blankly on the inner wall of the city wall, neatly circling the wall once.
These men and women were all very old, some so frail that they appeared to be kneeling or crooked, and could die at any moment.
Their direction of worship was towards the city. Looking into the distance, the city was empty, with only an astonishingly large star standing in the center.
Before long, two people in hospital gowns slowly arrived, dragged the dying old man outside the city, and threw him on the ground like trash.
After that... Cheng Shuang closed her eyes, and the little demons that came from all directions devoured the old man. During this brief but painful process, the old man's eyes remained wide open, as if he were an empty shell without a soul.
The two people dragging the man in his hospital gowns walked back into the city with ease, completely oblivious to the horrific and bloody scene outside.
"Messengers of demons and gods..." Si Hai sneered, "They're just slaves chosen by those wanderers who use the title of Onmyoji! They devour human souls early on, leaving only obedient shells."
Cheng Shuang pulled him along, following behind the two people in hospital gowns, with Du Jun close behind.
The answer given by the smart tracker was the city center. They would catch Qinglang sooner or later, but it was safer to do it sooner. Cheng Shuang didn't want to keep this bad guy around, so that he could still have a chance to return to the rest station and enjoy the treatment of a human being.
In their haste, the three of them used running socks and managed to throw the two hospital gowns far away, until gradually, other maintainers appeared, including Ono and the other two.
They didn't greet each other; they were going to seek revenge, not for anything else, so why drag others into it?
Having lost two companions, Qinglang settled the number of ghosts and monsters early and entered the city. He thought that once inside, he would receive a prompt to leave, but to his surprise, the Gate of Reincarnation did not react at all.
Only then did he realize that the gate of reincarnation would not open until the very last second of the 24 hours.
His long, slanted phoenix eyes held a sinister light. The thought that this challenge had come to nothing made him want to wipe out that brat and her companions.
