Chapter 057 Three Sentences Fill the World-weary Villain with Hope (Twenty-Two)
Xingfu Community was originally a village in the old days. It was built with a structure of a house in the middle and a field in the outside. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on two sides. There was also a low hill at the east end of the village which was the ancestral tomb of the villagers. Although it was small, it had everything it needed.
With the advent of the new era, villages and hills were flattened, replanned, and built into happy communities.
The main part of the community is the original mountain village. Due to its large area, another part was inevitably built on the original grave hill.
However, after Ancheng was completed, the green mountains and clear waters around the community became suburban beauty, and all the graves on the grave hill were moved to the suburban cemetery, so the original residents of the community did not care.
But after the evil god chose this place to build its lair, everything changed.
"Boom—"
Dull thunder rolled in and heavy rain came suddenly.
The wind was surging and the clouds were rolling, lightning flashed between the clouds, and occasionally struck down in pieces, silently but earth-shatteringly. This scene, which seemed as if the sky was shattering, was so frightening to ordinary people.
——Like a deliberate threat.
Chen Yunli got out of the car holding an umbrella. Raindrops as big as beans hit the umbrella densely. It seemed that this was the only sound left between heaven and earth, drowning out the movement in the distance.
His eyes cut through the rain and saw a line of yellow cordon outside the community gate.
Outside the line is a normal human world, inside the line is covered in blood and thick fog that seems to be frozen.
Ming Shaotu's voice struggled through the rain, "The vast majority of our personnel are stationed around the seal, helping to suppress the Evil God's escaping aura. A small number are stationed on the periphery, resisting the demon hunters who have become his minions."
"This layer of fog is the outer battlefield. The seal is behind the fog. Mr. Chen, where do you want to stay?"
Chen Yunli tilted his head slightly, locked eyes with Ming Shaotu, and said with a smile, "I'm not very skilled, so I'd better leave those monster hunters to professionals. The location of the sealed object is my battlefield."
"Okay." Ming Shaotu had already anticipated his answer. "Yue Xun and I will deal with the monster hunters on the periphery. Mr. Chen will handle the internal affairs. By the way, this is for you."
As he spoke, he handed a brooch to Chen Yunli.
"This is the exclusive mark of the combat personnel of the Spirit Division. When your colleagues guarding the seal see the brooch, they will know that you are a support member."
Chen Yunli nodded and let Ming Shaotu hold the umbrella for him temporarily. After pinning the brooch on his left chest, he took the umbrella back and took a step forward.
"See you later."
The thick fog remained motionless in the storm, but as soon as Chen Yunli stepped into it, it began to churn violently like boiling water.
The fog was the only barrier separating the main battlefield from the outer battlefield, and any fluctuation immediately attracted the attention of everyone behind the fog.
Although it can be said that there are "many" people, in fact, there is only one person who is really awake, and he is just a spent force. He relies on willpower to stay conscious and wait for reinforcements to come and take over his work.
His name is Fang Ye, and he is the deputy director of the Jianling Operations Department.
Fang also knelt on one knee, supporting his shaky body with the gun in his right hand. His eyes were dazed and his pupils had turned pale.
The seal was still running at full speed, but too much of the evil god's power had leaked out, and it was extremely difficult for the seal to suppress it within the thick fog barrier. It had no spare power to protect Fang Ye and others.
The "maintenance personnel" brought in by Suo Xingfang completed their task perfectly before they collapsed - repairing the previous damage to the seal and giving it enough power to support it for a period of time. The power of the evil god has not yet spread beyond the Happy Community, and their contribution is great.
As for being eroded by the power of the evil god and deformed into indescribable monsters, that was a small price they had expected and did not care about.
Since they have chosen this profession, they are fully prepared for their own ending.
"I can't fall... I can't fall... The reinforcements haven't arrived yet... The new goalkeeper hasn't arrived yet..."
Fang lowered his head and muttered to himself. Dozens of smaller mouths grew densely above and below his protruding lips. Two tongues were coiled between his inhumanly sharp teeth, and as they moved, they made overlapping and empty mumbling sounds. If an ordinary person heard it, he would probably be severely mentally polluted and die of madness on the spot.
But he was unaware of this and just kept repeating a few sentences, as if before the change, he had formed them into a mental imprint with great willpower, which could not be erased even by the power of the evil god.
Fang had long lost the concept of time, space and even all physics. After an unknown amount of time, the countless pairs of ears from the top of his head to the soles of his feet suddenly moved at the same time, looking behind him and accurately capturing the sound of footsteps coming from the thick fog.
It suddenly opened the eye in the middle of its face, and the moment it turned its head, its rotten eyelid and eyeball were thrown to the ground with a "snap". Maggots crawled everywhere, and the stench was overflowing. However, it did not affect its "seeing" of the figure that was gradually approaching and becoming clearer and clearer...
And the shining brooch on his chest.
Here they come, reinforcements are coming...
As the breath in his chest eased, Fang loosened his grip on the gun and fell straight to the side.
Before collapsing, it used all its strength to utter its final words: "Guard... the Seal!"
Before he could finish his words, he fell into a warm embrace.
Chen Yunli threw away his umbrella and caught the man's falling body. He put his arms around his waist and back. He staggered half a step due to the force and then squatted down to hold him up steadily.
The man had no wounds on his body, but he had a high fever, as if caused by inflammation.
Chen Yunli checked his temperature, breathing, and heartbeat. Fortunately, aside from the former, the latter two were normal. However, a prolonged high fever could be life-threatening. The support team wouldn't arrive until tonight, so he had to hurry.
After carefully putting the man down, he stood up and looked around. There were people lying all over the ground. He patiently observed them one by one, making sure that they all looked like normal human beings in his eyes. Then he shifted his gaze to the seal.
The seal of the Happy Community is not an object, but the Happy Community itself. More precisely, it is the ruins left after its destruction.
The boss who designed the seal was quite creative. Since the evil gods wanted to occupy the Happy Community and turn it into their lair, he used the entire community as the carrier of the seal and injected the corpses and flesh of their kind into it in front of them. This not only blocked their tentacles from spreading to the inner city, but also mocked them severely. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
It has to be said that although humans and evil gods are naturally hostile to each other, and humans have many ruthless people who want to protect themselves, the person who came up with the idea of using the evil god's corpse to suppress the evil god is definitely the best among them, a living devil that cannot be seen in the world.
Chen Yunli took a deep breath, and the slightly cold air with a smell of rust filled his lungs. He was clear-minded, and his sharp gaze was cast at the green mountains and clear waters behind the seal that once surrounded the old mountain village, and the graves of the deceased who were sleeping there.
—Mountains are broken in half, rivers dry up, fertile soil is reduced to scorched earth, and the once solemn cemeteries are now only broken tombstones and broken stones.
Chen Yunli didn't know what the evil god's lair looked like in the eyes of others, nor did he need to know, because what he saw was the truth.
"A few Yellow Mountains, a few ravines, a few broken monuments... Are you the nest of the evil god, or the evil god himself?"
As the dust cloud reached his sight, space suddenly began to waver and distort as if scorched by intense heat. It was as if something was struggling beneath this invisible barrier, unwilling to be "assimilated" into the world he saw.
His mind shifted, and his eyelids drooped slightly. The next second, thunder roared from the distant wilderness. Silver-blue lightning flashed like a rift in space, fixed in mid-air and rapidly spreading in all directions before collapsing with a bang.
This was the first time that something broke away from the reality that Chen Yunli saw and brought the "true nature" of the world into his vision.
The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of thick, curved horns. The tips of the horns slammed heavily into the broken "space", revealing a head that was so huge that it was beyond human vision. It was shaped like a giant octopus, with countless tentacles coiled underneath. As soon as it regained its freedom, it twisted and rolled in the air like a filthy, disgusting cloud.
Behind Him was a pale skeleton, incomparably long, bulging like a mountain, lying like a river, and curled up like a sea of bones. The joints collided and squirmed, making layers of sticky knocking sounds.
A humanoid figure emerged from behind the skeleton, with wings on its back and a twisted body. There was only a black outline, like a shadow in the sun, but the black dirt covering its entire body was continuously dripping down with its movements. Thick black blood gathered at its feet, and it was baring its fangs and claws like a living creature.
They each occupy a corner of the dust cloud away from sight, corresponding to the barren mountain, the river ditch, and the broken monument.
Ancient, vast, and indescribable.
Mental pollution roared in, hitting Chen Yunli's five senses and brain nerves. If he were an ordinary person, he would be deformed into a hideous piece of flesh in an instant, then melt into a pool of dirty blood, and finally evaporate into nothingness under the gaze of these ancient beings.
But he is not.
Fortunately he is not.
Chen Yunli felt that these three evil gods looked disgusting, and a strong sense of disgust arose spontaneously. The idea of completely wiping them out quickly formed in his mind.
They are different from the evil gods in the library, the post station, and even the Rope Lane. The former obey Chen Yunli's "gaze" and become a safe reality, while the latter stay safely in the cage forged by Chen Yunli.
They also brought trauma to the world, but it was not intolerable.
Being able to suppress them means being able to tolerate them temporarily, and we can consider how to turn them into helpers for mankind.
As for these three, he could not tolerate them living for even one more second.
Then die.
Thinking of this, Chen Yunli's eyes lit up, and he saw the white light shining from under his feet again.
There were two intersecting streams of light, with the intersection being at the point where he landed, extending or shrinking with his thoughts.
A mighty wind blew through the sky. He was too lazy to say a single word to the three evil gods. He raised his hand and stretched it forward.
"Go ahead."
Before he finished speaking, the seal shone brightly, and a desolate and eternal white light spread and rose, and in an instant it turned into a vast ocean, with wind and thunder rushing and raging waves howling.
Chen Yunli stood on the highest wave and was carried to the front of the evil god by the current. His body seemed to become huge and boundless. Even the huge evil god could only barely match him.
But compared with the sea beneath his feet, this huge thing is like a grain of corn, small, fragile and vulnerable.
Then Chen Yunli suddenly realized that it was not him who had grown bigger, but the three evil gods who had grown smaller.
“﹉:=//-_!//”
The evil gods trembled violently, and overlapping whispers filled the entire world in an instant, indescribably hoarse and harsh, with undisguised panic in them.
Chen Yunli didn't understand and frowned. Then he saw them turn around and run. Their bodies broke through the space and rushed out tens of thousands of miles in an instant, as if they wanted to tear the starry sky apart and return to the dead universe.
"Want to run?" Chen Yunli smiled, "You're really embarrassing me, the evil god."
Without him making any movement, the vast ocean beneath his feet suddenly surged and heaved, raising a huge wave in the distance that was as high as the sky, which whipped the fleeing evil god back and carried him back to him.
Trapped within the waves, the evil gods uttered terrified sounds in a voice incomprehensible to humans. Chen Yunli suspected they were questioning his identity or begging for mercy, but it didn't matter.
As he walked along, he saw too many people lying in the thick fog and on the ruins. Although he could not see them, he could imagine what they would become and what their fate would be as they were deeply corroded by the evil god's aura.
They were lucky, because this time, with Chen Yunli by their side, they were able to save their lives, and their mutations and injuries could be fully recovered. But those who had sacrificed before had truly died, and their deaths were not peaceful, and they were extremely painful.
Xingfu Community is the most dangerous nest of evil gods, and the largest number of members of the Spirit Seeing Department have fallen here.
Destroying this place was just the beginning, a test for Chen Yunli. Once he was certain he possessed the power to destroy the evil god, he would clear out the remaining nests one by one, including the temporarily sealed Hemp Rope Lane.
Return peace to the people of Ancheng and let the ancestors rest in peace.
"You weren't like this when you were encroaching on the human world, bewitching monster hunters, and harming my own people. I still prefer the way you looked when you just broke through my sight. It makes killing you easier that way."
Chen Yunli curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a cold smile.
"But it doesn't matter. You all have to die anyway."
"Since you like the Happy Community, let this be your grave."
…
"system."
"Auditor, I'm here."
"Can I kill three evil gods in one go?"
"Given the auditors' resources, it's best to do them one at a time, with three days of recovery time between each one."
"I don't have that kind of patience. Is there any other way?"
"this……"
"It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. I have a plan. Doesn't the contract I signed before joining the company have the boss's signature?"
"……Yes."
"Is the divine power contained in the Supreme God's true name enough to destroy the three evil gods?"
“…”
In the deafening silence of the system, Chen Yunli took out his labor contract and unfolded it, shook the wrinkled A4 paper, and turned the last page to the three evil gods.
"Thank you, Boss, for giving me strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three evil gods, with a total of more than one hundred pairs of eyes, revealed the same huge fear.
An incomparably powerful force, one that made it impossible to resist and only wanted to worship, broke through time and space and came—
Just to fulfill the wishes of our employees.
