Chapter 98: The Desperate Debt Collectors Take a Rush, the Evil God's Resurrection Ritual...
Zhou Fangdong paced anxiously in the basement, while Yingmei, unaware of what had happened, followed him around like a chick with a chick-like behavior.
Zhou Fangdong was thinking about how to rescue Hu Feng.
Although Hu Feng has the key to room 207, and no matter what ghosts, monsters, or supernatural curses he encounters, the debt-collecting ghosts will protect him, the cultists of the Bone Inheritance Society are all human.
The New Star Resort is the territory of the Bone Inheritance Society. After discovering that the supernatural items were ineffective against Hu Feng, those wicked cultists will definitely resort to physical attacks.
Two fists can't fight four hands, and Zhou Fangdong was really afraid that Hu Feng would die from being ganged up on by those bald men.
Since there's no main god instance at the New Star Resort, he can't use the instance's live broadcast function to check Hu Feng's current situation.
The special attention list will not broadcast the tenant's actions unless the tenant's life is in danger... When Zhao Dawei was tortured like that by those two cultists in room 103, the system did not notify him.
Zhou Fangdong is really worried about Hu Feng's situation.
If the tenants were asked to go and help, it would take them some time to get to the New Star Resort, even if they took the ghost bus, it would still take at least half an hour.
Moreover, there was no main god instance there, so the room ghosts could not directly invade it. Zhou Fangdong was also worried that other tenants would encounter danger after going there.
If Xiao Xiaoyu were to go and attract the main god's dungeon to descend, not to mention that the little girl had just experienced a dungeon yesterday, there is an even more serious problem—Xiao Xiaoyu now has a particularly terrifying flag on her shoulders: she can reunite with her parents who have been separated for ten years tomorrow.
The idea that "after rescuing Hu Feng, I can reunite with my parents" is just as terrifying as "I'll retire from crime after this job" and "I'll go back to my hometown to get married after this battle."
Xiao Xiaoyu now felt to him like an old general on a theatrical stage, covered in flags. Zhou Fangdong dared not let her out at this time.
The fastest way now is to use the Stand ability to put on the Oni Tenant's body and teleport there directly, but the Oni Tenant's power will be weakened during the day...
Thinking of this, Zhou Fangdong suddenly slapped his forehead, and Yingmei followed suit and slapped her head as well.
That's getting a bit nitpicky. The Stand function has limitations, but [Disguised Evil God Descends] doesn't have day or night restrictions.
Moreover, after he swallowed the giant slime from that processing plant last night, he no longer needs to possess a cultist when using Descent of the Gods.
Since the New Star Resort is the territory of those cultists, there must be rituals related to evil gods there...
Zhou Fangdong opened the [Evil God Disguise] interface and used the [Ritual Inquiry] function to check it.
Sure enough, there were ritual dots, so I could teleport there.
Seeing this, Zhou Fangdong teleported directly to the second floor, found his slime body in the hidden room, and prepared to use this body to help Hu Feng at the New Star Resort.
While Zhou Fangdong was worried about Hu Feng, Hu Feng was having a great time.
He was like a walking god of plague. As long as the abacus sounded wherever he passed, the cultists who encountered him would suddenly become particularly unlucky. After being beaten by Hu Feng, they lost their lives accidentally.
Even if a few cult members don't trigger the abacus, they will still die as long as they attack Hu Feng, and they will die on the spot.
—Because whether you attack Hu Feng with supernatural objects or with physical means, as long as you touch Hu Feng, it will trigger the debt collector's murder condition.
Attacking Hu Feng is like taking money from a debt collector.
Although the debt collector cannot fulfill Hu Feng's wish or make him owe a life debt for the time being, the debt collector believes that one day it will understand what Hu Feng's chaotic mind is thinking.
For the debt collectors, Hu Feng is like a fixed-term deposit account that hasn't yet reached its withdrawal date.
Harming Hu Feng before he incurs a life debt is tantamount to depleting the debt collector's reserves, which is no different from stealing his money in person.
Therefore, the debt collector can kill the cultists who harm Hu Feng just like killing ghosts that have invaded the room.
Hu Feng, having the misfortune of running into several groups of cult members during his infiltration, watched them die in all sorts of bizarre ways and began to savor the experience.
He stroked his thick beard, his expression somber, and said, "I understand now. So I am the Kami of the New World." As he spoke, he patted the abacus tied to his waist. "And you, my brother, you are my death abacus!"
"It's a pity that Ryuk is still in his apartment room and didn't come with us."
While he was rambling incoherently, another group of bald men suddenly appeared.
Because Hu Feng infiltrated so openly, although all the cultists he encountered died, one or two who survived a little longer pressed the alarm button.
Looking at the cult members carrying weapons, Hu Feng suddenly turned around, spread his arms wide, and struck a pose resembling a roc spreading its wings:
"Ah~ Can anyone else do this! Come on! Attack me! Let the storm rage on!"
The abacus on Hu Feng's waist made a sound again. One of the cultists seemed to have suddenly suffered cerebellar atrophy. He tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground. As he fell, he instinctively tried to grab something. As he waved his hands, his hand slipped, and the knife in his hand flew out and stabbed into the waist of one of the cultists in front of him.
After falling, he struggled to get up. While trying to stand up, he accidentally grabbed the trouser leg of the person in front of him.
The two unfortunate cult members in front of him, one clutching his waist and the other tripping over his pants, both fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, three cult members in the group fell.
Because of these three who fell to the ground, the rest of the team fell to the ground in all sorts of bizarre ways, like dominoes. Since they were all holding weapons, most of them were killed or injured.
The target they were trying to capture didn't even make a move; it remained in its strange, outstretched-wing pose, waiting for them.
The surviving cult members also realized something was wrong and dared not approach recklessly again.
But they didn't dare to move, while Hu Feng did.
Hu Feng yelled "Demacia!" and swung his fist at the nearest cult member.
The cultist lost a tooth, but stubbornly endured it without retaliating.
He and his companion exchanged a glance, and at the same time pulled out a rope made of what looked like flimsy white paper from their waists, intending to tie Hu Feng up first.
Although the cultist wisely refrained from retaliating, Hu Feng's fist was injured by his teeth.
Even though it was just a minor cut with some blood seeping out, it still triggered the debt collector's conditions for killing.
In room 207 of the Liwan Apartment, the debt collector adjusted his round-framed glasses and looked eastward. Countless invisible chains extended from his body, and his pale face was stretched to the corners of his mouth almost to his ears.
When the bald man, whose teeth had been knocked out by Hu Feng, suddenly clutched his chest and died without warning, everyone else panicked.
When faced with a life-or-death situation and their own lives were truly threatened, the cult members disregarded orders from above and their so-called great cause of reviving the gods. They knelt down and begged for mercy, telling Hu Feng not to come near them.
Hu Feng completely ignored their pleas for mercy, and punched another cultist in the face, muttering incoherently, "Haoyougen! Take another Rising Dragon Fist! What's the use of begging? You won't even call me father!"
A punch to the left, a punch to the right.
"Study hard, kid! This is the skill of a professional debt collector! Please address me as Master!"
When Zhou Fangdong, controlling the slime's body, appeared at the New Star Resort, he was surprised to find that there were far fewer cultists there than he had imagined.
This is the preparation location for the Fusu ceremony. The location of the blessing ceremony he teleported to is the hot spring pavilion in the very center of the resort... Logically speaking, there should be many people guarding such a central area.
Could it be that they all went out to catch Hu Feng?
Thinking of this, Zhou Fangdong became even more worried.
He used his physical body to look at the [Linjiang City Map] to determine Hu Feng's location, and then manipulated the slime's body to wriggle towards Hu Feng.
A giant black slime, occupying half of the hot spring spa, was slowly wriggling. Its size was so enormous that it was impossible to tell which direction it was crawling.
The evil god clones that were devoured yesterday have not yet been digested and cannot be condensed into human form.
As the crickets continued to pupate, Zhou Fangdong felt that this method was far too inefficient.
So he aimed at the two tall trees closest to him, stretched out two tentacles and wrapped them around the trunks, then pulled back forcefully, launching himself out like a slingshot.

When the unrest broke out at the New Star Resort, a middle-aged man in a melon-shaped hat with his hands behind his back stood on the roof of an unfinished building not far from the underground cave in the eastern suburbs.
The two perfectly crafted evil god clones he created disappeared one after another. His divided soul could not be restored, and his face remained inhumanly swirling, unable to be restored.
The middle-aged man was contemplating whether to take a gamble and initiate the remaining revival rituals.
The Bone Inheritance Society currently lacks any means to counterbalance the Supreme God; the gap between humans and 'gods' is indeed still too vast…
The main god has now completely broken ties with them, and yesterday sent down two instances in succession to destroy their revival ceremony in Fengrao Village in the northern suburbs.
In its demonstrations, it even deployed a copy of a shopping mall in the city center, taking away many church leaders who remained there.
While the main god was causing chaos, the evil god's clones were becoming increasingly uncontrollable... The middle-aged man looked towards the underground cavern.
Last night, the evil god's clone inexplicably went berserk, destroying the entire processing plant and devouring all the factory workers; even the overseer couldn't escape.
The factory had intended to have the foreman bring over supernatural tools to help design a trap targeting the main god, but shortly after the order was given, something went wrong at the factory.
In just one day, not only was the restoration ceremony in the northern suburbs disrupted, but an important processing plant was also lost.
I don't know when it started, but the church's development seemed to have suddenly fallen into a quagmire, and all sorts of bad luck seemed to have come at once.
Just as the middle-aged man was questioning the meaning of life, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and a young man with hair ran to the top floor and shouted at the man in the melon-shaped hat:
"Your Excellency! Something terrible has happened! A SpongeBob SquarePants has infiltrated Nova Resort!"
The middle-aged man didn't turn around or scold him; he simply asked indifferently, "Are you drunk?"
“I didn’t… Please check the security footage.” With that, the young man quickly walked behind the middle-aged man and handed him a tablet.
The middle-aged man did not turn around; he stared at the screen on the tablet and fell silent.
It really is SpongeBob SquarePants.
In the surveillance footage, Hu Feng, who was already caught up in the excitement of the fight, took off his SpongeBob SquarePants vest and tied it around his neck like a cape.
In the surveillance screenshot, he is turning around quickly.
As he moved, the wind blew up his 'cape,' and the SpongeBob SquarePants print covered his face, making his grinning yellow square stare directly at the person outside the surveillance video, with an indescribable sense of mockery.
"High Priest, not only this strange madman, but also an evil god clone has appeared out of nowhere at the resort. That clone is out of control and is frantically devouring all the followers and supernatural items, including the evil god core that was left there to prepare for the resurrection ceremony."
"Another clone has gone out of control? This is happening far too often..." The middle-aged man's voice was hoarse, as if he had made up his mind. "Never mind the Nova Resort matter. Send the word that all blood sacrifice rituals should be started, and the remaining three resurrection rituals should also be prepared to start."
"Ah? High Priest, now...? But the revival ceremonies in the north and east haven't been held yet..."
"We can't wait any longer, or it will be too late," the middle-aged man interrupted forcefully. "After the blood sacrifice ritual, find all the records of the main god's copy."
"Now we are in a state of mortal enmity with the Supreme God. Since we don't have enough offerings, let's borrow the Supreme God's invading power to help the God descend into this world."
“We urgently need a way to deal with the main god, we can’t worry about anything else now.” The middle-aged man sneered. “A god who descends in full is naturally the best, but a fragmented one will also work.”
"After I have dealt with the main god, I will personally apologize to the god."

After controlling the slime body to deal with the Nova Resort incident, Zhou Fangdong's mental energy dropped by more than half.
He rubbed his temples vigorously and used 750 ghost coins to replenish his lost mental energy.
Because both the brass pendant and the sandalwood bracelet have the effect of boosting mental power, his mental power bar is now more than twice as long as his health bar, and it would take 1,500 ghost coins to fully replenish it.
After his headache disappeared, Zhou Fangdong breathed a sigh of relief and manipulated the slime body hidden in the room, making it spit out the cultist corpses and supernatural artifacts inside.
Eating too much junk food will cause indigestion. When you have time, throw the scraps into the garbage station and the whole pieces into the ghost market funeral clothes shop to sell as human skin.
A single cultist's human skin is worth 300 ghost coins; selling them all would be a considerable income.
After handing over the core of the evil god's clone that he had casually retrieved to the system and having it build the purification device on the third floor, Zhou Fangdong took out his phone and called Hong Zhong.
Hu Feng is still at the New Star Resort. His slime body can only bring inanimate objects back to the apartment, not him.
Fortunately, when Zhou Fangdong was looking at the [Linjiang City Map], he discovered that Hong Zhong was driving Lu Mingbian towards the apartment.
To prevent Hu Feng from running off to another place, he called Hong Zhong and asked him to take a detour and bring Hu Feng back as well.
