Xue Beicheng was somewhat stunned, probably not expecting the child to say something like that. Everyone was speechless, looking at her wary expression. Did she think they would hold her responsible for the death of Cultists...?

Hmm, this girl has a pretty strong sense of the law.

Xu Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Lele appeared to be unharmed, and her tone and style were very much like Qin Lele's, so she probably wouldn't be harmed by Ruo Bao or anything.

But he was still puzzled. He had searched the basement thoroughly, so why hadn't he found anyone?

Qin Lele pointed to the floor. "I found a very large tomb down there, and it seems that some very important person is buried inside!"

"Before I killed those two Blood Worship Cultists, I heard them talking about ancient gods and resurrection... I didn't understand, so I asked them what was going on, and they actually laughed at me. So I wiped them out..."

"Uh... they did strike first!"

Her gaze darted around Xue Beicheng and the soldiers of the Ninth Division, and everyone was nearly driven crazy by the girl's scrutinizing eyes.

Our Ninth Division general was just asking casually, could you please stop looking at us with that scheming gaze? It makes us feel like we're being persecuted...

Xu Nan and Xue Beicheng a glance, both revealing solemn expressions.

If Qin Lele's words are true, then this so-called tomb may be hiding the true purpose of the Blood Worship Cultists.

Could it really be for the resurrection of the Ancient Seven Gods?

West Eden Ancient City is a group of ancient buildings near H City. Most of the existing buildings were renovated on the basis of the Xidian site. Archaeologists discovered traces of prehistoric human activity here and it has a lot of valuable treasures.

But even Xu Nan, a local, had never heard of tombs underground in West Eden Ancient City.

"It might be Plane Bubble." Xue Beicheng's mind worked quickly, and almost immediately came up with a very reliable deduction:

The Blood Worship Cultists had no motive to infiltrate Earth, not even for the resurrection of the Ancient Seven Gods; the only possibility was that the tomb of an ancient god, which had been floating in a hidden part of another world, had made contact with Earth in the form of Plane Bubble.

Only under such circumstances would they launch a large-scale operation to search for this tomb!

Because it was so important, they had to resort to self-sacrifice to cover their tracks.

Their real purpose was probably in that tomb!

In the short term, without more sources of intelligence, this was all Xu Nan could think of.

"We should go and see. If Lele is real, then the Special Ops Team force is probably just using a diversionary tactic."

Xu Nan pondered for a moment.

Xue Beicheng nodded, rubbed his temples, and said to Qin Lele in a friendly tone, "In a little while, you'll lead us to the entrance of that tomb and leave with my men... Although I'm not a member of the Thousand Rays Society, I still have the authority to order you to leave..."

"This kind of battlefield doesn't need you kids to risk yourselves before we die..."

Qin Lele pouted, her face clearly showing her displeasure, but Xue Beicheng still possessed a commanding presence as a general in front of others. Forced by his powerful aura, she had no choice but to nod.

Xu Nan couldn't help but mentally complain:

"I'm only nineteen! I'm still a child!"

As if guessing what he was thinking, Xue Beicheng glanced at him expressionlessly. "I've seen your detailed information. You'll be twenty years old after New Year's Day, no longer considered a child."

"Please come with me for a moment, I have something to discuss with you privately."

Are you a devil?!

Xu Nan was deeply hurt and followed Xue Beicheng to the next room with a resentful look on her face. But Xue Beicheng quickly closed the door!

He moved closer to Xu Nan could not imagine, and then whispered in his ear:

"Your friend... is suspicious!"

Xu Nan was so frightened that she felt dizzy. She thought Xue Beicheng was about to unleash his beastly nature, but she didn't expect to hear such a sentence.

He pondered for a moment, "What's wrong? I can't see anything wrong. It's exactly the same as usual."

Xue Beicheng put a finger to his lips, silently took out his phone, and opened a certain page.

The screen was clearly focused on the two corpses in the underground corridor, but at this moment, Xu Nan only saw one corpse!

"Where's the body?" Xu Nan was a little confused.

Xue Beicheng meaningfully, "They're here."

"We'll pretend to ask her to lead the way, and then find a few opportunities..."

However, before he could finish speaking, an emergency alarm suddenly sounded in the lobby outside!

Ninth Division of soldiers were attacked!

Xu Nan rushed out the door immediately, only to see "Qin Lele" easily grab a member of the Ninth Division by the neck and stuff him into a coffin!

"This is pointless, we've already been discovered..."

The other party said indifferently, "Earth's technology is really annoying. No matter how meticulous the plan is, it will be easily exposed when it encounters this thing called surveillance."

"I was originally planning to play a cat-and-mouse game with you guys, but now, forget it."

Then, she charged towards another member of the Ninth Division in a bizarre, low-lying manner.

It must be said that the professionals of the Ninth Division are also quite strong. Faced with Qin Lele's strange attack methods, the knife-wielding warrior quickly responded. He tried to restrict her range of movement with his weapon, but the next second, everyone in the hall suddenly felt a strong sense of muscle weakness!

Clang! Clang!

Not only did their weapons fall to the ground, but they themselves also stumbled and fell to the ground!

Only Xue Beicheng and Xu Nan were unaffected.

"It's a curse!"

Xu Nan glanced at the character card and raised an eyebrow.

Fortunately, he possessed the Initiate Sorcerer's specialty, "Immunity to All Diseases," which was enough to exempt him from most illnesses and curses!

Xue Beicheng's expression was very unpleasant. Although he had also exempted himself from the curse in some way, he looked like he was having a very hard time maintaining it.

"Huh?" The person disguised as Qin Lele turned around and looked at her with a hint of surprise. "You're immune to Divine Might?"

Divine Might my foot! Aren't these just fancy curses? Sorry, but these are the specialties of the Initiate Sorcerer, they're the best at dealing with fancy curses!

Without saying a word, Xu Nan countered with a combo of Evard's Black Tentacles and Legge's Five-Hit Combo!

Numerous dark tentacles entangled the man. The next second, three demonic hands, a demonic foot, and a magical fist suddenly appeared in the open hall!

Leg Air-Splitting Palm, Leg Heart-Snatching Claw, Leg Groin-Kicking Foot- Leg Tremor Palm, Legge Vajra Fist!

Caught off guard, the man was hit squarely by Xu Nan's five-hit combo!

At this moment, Xu Nan would not show any mercy. He forced himself to calm down. Even if this person was disguised as Qin Lele, it didn't mean anything. The Cultists' magic was unpredictable and ever-changing. He would take him down first!

At that moment, an awkward yet hilarious scene unfolded—

Just moments ago, Qin Lele seemed invincible, but now she was being brutally beaten to the ground by Legg's five-hit combo. Leg Tremor Palm and Legge Vajra Fist were the most exciting, and she was repeating the powerful attacking movements at high speed, even creating afterimages in the air!

Qin Lele's image was completely ruined after being exposed, and Xu Nan couldn't help but feel a little secretly pleased looking at the scene.

Not long after, "Qin Lele" was beaten out of her true form.

It was a huge rat, its cheeks bulging as if it were eating something! Its forelegs were crawling on the floor, making a sharp scraping sound.

Nightmare Rat

[Synopsis: A demigod's offspring, possibly a descendant of the evil god Emolan...]

The Appraisal Technique results surprised Xu Nan. Was this the true nature of Emolan, one of the Seven Gods who was quite famous in ancient times? Although this guy had the status of a demigod, his strength was completely inconsistent with what he had shown.

Even the spells of the Legge System cannot be exempted, so this demigod status is too weak, isn't it?

Just as Xu Nan was wondering what was going on, the Nightmare Rat angrily broke free from Evard's Black Tentacles and tried to attack Xu Nan in a rage. "I am a child of the gods, how dare you mortals blaspheme me..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was once again pinned to the ground and ravaged by Xu Nan's five consecutive attacks of Legion's quality.

After a good beating, even Nightmare Rat's front teeth were almost knocked out.

Xu Nan was also surprised. This might be the first demigod he had ever seen, and also the weakest one. He couldn't even be immune to ordinary spells. He was probably a high-quality fake demigod!

"I am..."

"Presumptuous..."

"Stop hitting me... Waaaaah... Why is my divine power..."

Nightmare Rat seemed somewhat unable to comprehend his current predicament. Despite his tenacious vitality, being pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by a mortal mage was truly pathetic!

He couldn't understand why he couldn't use his divine power, even though he was inspired by the believers and blessed by the bloodline of Emolan.

Xu Nan didn't understand either. He thought this guy had the same wicked sense of humor as him, pretending to be weak to take advantage of others. He didn't dare to save the person first, so he just kept beating him up.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A light meow rang out, and the treasure chest on Xu Nan's chest suddenly cracked open, from which jumped a clever Chalk Cat!

In that instant, the temperature in the entire hall dropped by more than ten degrees.

The enormous Nightmare Rat bristled the moment the Chalk Cat appeared. Its eyes were filled with intense fear. Driven by its will to survive, it managed to break free from Xu Nan's tentacle array and rush directly into the understory!

The Chalk Cat walked gracefully on the floor, and with each step, the floor froze into frost.

She followed the direction of the Nightmare Rat.

Xu Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at the members of the Ninth Division, only to find that they had fallen into a strange hibernation the moment the Chalk Cat appeared.

He gritted his teeth and followed.

At the end of the basement, a swirling vortex appeared out of nowhere.

Xu Nan followed the Chalk Cat across the vortex, and in the distance, they could still see the Nightmare Rat fleeing in panic.

The Chalk Cat waved its paw with a haughty air, and the Nightmare Rat suddenly ran backwards to the Chalk Cat. Under the Nightmare Rat's desperate gaze, the Chalk Cat swallowed it whole!

She even looked like she wanted more.

Xu Nan looked at her, somewhat bewildered.

Only then did he have the opportunity to take in the scenery around him.

This appears to be a place resembling a cemetery, with architectural styles leaning towards the ancient era of the Pro World; it certainly looks like Plane Bubble. Qin Lele, in her disguise, wasn't lying about this.

But what about the real Qin Lele? Where did she go?

What is the relationship between the Chalk Cat and the Nightmare Rat?

Why do I have this feeling of being caught in a huge conspiracy?

He looked at the Chalk Cat and pondered, "Meow meow meow?"

The Chalk Cat tilted its head, and mumbled, "I can speak human language."

Xu Nan: "..."

"Just now. I've only just regained a little bit of my memory... Hehe, it's been so long since I've tasted such delicious food... Such pure divine power..."

The Chalk Cat gracefully transformed into a stoic Ghoul Loli... Xu Nan keenly noticed that she was more adept at changing forms, and compared to before, she seemed to have grown somewhat; at least, her long hair no longer concealed an endless flat chest.

"May I know who you are?"

"Xu Nan asked. He was somewhat excited; after all, he'd raised this guy, right? It seemed like he was probably a god; he'd better get on his good side as soon as possible!"

"My name is Tiamat." The Ghoul Loli's voice was cold and clear, and her gaze towards Xu Nan was somewhat friendly. "And you?"

Xu Nan's smile vanished.

What code should I use?

...!
