Xu Nan fell into deep thought.

Of course, he was already aware of how shameless the Quest Card was, but what surprised him was that this task was far too easy for him.

Tiamat currently mentally unstable, and with Xu Nan's powerful eloquence, deceiving a young girl would be a piece of cake.

Although the reward of Shame Points and skill points is relatively small, it is still a free mission.

Does Lost Paradise Lost's system sometimes give you easy questions?

Xu Nan accepted the task without hesitation and began to coax her gently. On one hand, he kept implying that he and Qin Lele were just ordinary friends, and that as a guardian, he would naturally prefer Susie. On the other hand, he gave her a feeling of being aloof, as if to say, "If you keep being jealous, Daddy will be unhappy." In short, he did exactly what was written in the "scumbag manual."

In truth, Xu Nan had no interest in Tiamat in that way, but since the Quest Card was wishful thinking, Xu Nan had no choice but to reluctantly use his powerful Bluff skills to bend Tiamat's values.

"So that's how it is... The Guardian was actually doing this for my own good. He really went to great lengths."

Tears welled up in Susie's grey-green eyes, and her moved expression made Xu Nan's conscience ache slightly.

Ugh, this is such a hassle. As Infant God, Tiamat is exempt from the [Touch of Idiocy], otherwise Xu Nan wouldn't have wasted his breath.

Fortunately, he succeeded in the end, and the mission was completed easily. Tiamat also obediently began searching for Qin Lele's whereabouts for Xu Nan.

After Xu Nan provided a photo of Qin Lele, Tiamat, through his own divinity, confirmed one thing.

Qin Lele is not dead yet; she is in this cemetery world.

"I can sense it... it seems to be over there!"

Susie pointed cheerfully in one direction.

Xu Nan nodded, and the two quickly began their journey.

At the end of the road stood an ancient castle exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

The castle was built on a protruding mountain, surrounded by thick fog. What Xu Nan found strange was that although there were cemeteries and coffins all around, there were no undead spirits present.

It was as if a mysterious force was restraining the actions of these undead.

"Could they have actually infiltrated Emolan's lair?"

Xu Nan trembled slightly. "Why is Qin Lele such a troublesome child? Could it be that she was captured by an evil god to be his wife?"

He glanced at Susie and felt a little more confident. No matter what kind of evil god it was, this was Earth, and as Initiate Sorcerer, he was naturally obligated to slay demons and monsters. What was there to fear?

With courage in his hands, Xu Nan made a decisive decision:

"Come on, Susie, you go first, and I'll cover the rear. I'm worried about danger behind us... Be good."

The ghoul girl was pushed forward, completely bewildered.

The journey through the mountains went relatively smoothly. Susie's faint divine power suppressed the evil creatures lurking in the darkness, and Xu Nan observed some menacing monsters more than once using Infrared Vision.

But once their gaze settled on the ghoul girl, they quickly left.

The two successfully reached the mountainside, where the castle entrance was located.

Unexpectedly, Xu Nan actually saw an old acquaintance here!

Rumble!

A thick bolt of lightning pierced through the dark clouds and struck the earth. A man dressed in red looked at them all with a strange smile on his face!

Lightning tore his body apart, exposing his naked body. To everyone's surprise, they didn't see any genitals...

"Damn it, he's asexual? That's an eyesore."

Even Zhang Jian couldn't help but complain.

Jiang Yuanchi frowned. "My lightning doesn't seem to have any effect on him."

Zheng Xie gripped the dagger tightly, his eyelids twitching. He glanced at the Kangaroo beneath him; the kangaroo had begun to feign death, meaning the enemy was terrifying.

Liu Erdao was trying to Diplomacy with the asexual person:

"Old Zhao, you grew up in a scientific society, what's wrong with your brain to go and worship some Ancient Seven Gods?"

"Don't let the evil god brainwash you anymore. I believe you can regain your will!"

"This is your body, not something anyone else can easily control!"

Xu Nan rubbed his eyes and confirmed that the red-clothed Blood Worship Cultists in front of him was Teacher Zhao he had seen at the pyramid scheme den before.

His name seems to be Zhao Jinquan.

According to Liu Erdao, this guy was Liu Erdao's old informant. He was arrested for running a pyramid scheme, but Liu Erdao got him released.

This person appears to be a high priest of the Blood Worship Cultists. Liu Erdao guesses that he didn't really intend to persuade Zhao Jinquan to reform; he was probably just testing the waters.

"Are you going to tell me next that all my companions are dead and I should stop struggling?"

Zhao Jinquan didn't care at all about being naked. His face was filled with an indescribable mocking smile, "Yes, those good-for-nothings are all dead, but my goal has been achieved."

"I'm sorry, I'm no longer myself, I am... God!"

In an instant, a terrifying power exploded from the castle's bridge, and everyone felt as if they had been violently hammered in the chest and knocked to the ground!

Xu Nan observed that the Special Ops Team members were all here. It seemed that they had chased the Blood Worship Cultists here. Although he didn't know what had happened, it seemed that Zhao Jinquan should be the last one.

Of course, it's also the most difficult one to deal with!

Xu Nan did not fall down, not because Susie blocked the power for him, but because the treasure chest on his chest automatically absorbed the power!

This silver-white treasure chest is indeed no ordinary object!

Xu Nan dared not be careless. He figured that Zhao Jinquan must have discovered him as well, and there was no point in continuing to hide. So he walked out of the fog and tried to reunite with the Special Ops Team.

However, at this time, Zhao Jinquan's body began to undergo a disgusting change.

His chest and head were torn apart by some mysterious force, revealing empty flesh and blood, without any organs.

His body had been hollowed out, leaving only a skin and a piece of writhing flesh!

The piece of flesh kept writhing, making a sound like a baby crying. Everyone who heard this sound had a splitting headache.

The members of the Special Ops Team are all skilled fighters, and they have demonstrated remarkable combat prowess when fighting monsters from another world; however, when it comes to the level of evil gods, they seem to fall short.

Xu Nan was about to do something when he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that Susie was in pain, her whole body went limp, and her divine radiance flickered uncertainly, like a candle in the wind, which might be extinguished at any moment!

"Hehehe..."

A voice that was neither male nor female rang out. "It was really not easy to find you. First, I had to calculate the information about your guardian, Cheng Song, from the Yu Tuo Sang incident. Then I had to deduce his Earth identity and make sure that this matter was handled in a logical way so that it would not attract the attention of the Earth Star Spirit and the Pro Gods... Fortunately, I did it."

"Those ignorant gods simply cannot comprehend the vision of you and me. You risked coming to Earth to break through, and as an old friend, I am truly happy for you to have accomplished such a transformation... my dear Susie ..."

Soon, the skin was sewn back together, and the flesh seemed to have completely fused with Zhao Jinquan.

Strange patterns appeared on his face; Xu Nan had seen those patterns on the Nightmare Rat!

"How does my offspring taste?" Zhao Jinquan walked over with a smile. "It wasn't easy to invite you."

Xu Nan tried to struggle, but was instantly suppressed by a powerful divine force.

This time, even the treasure chest on his chest couldn't help him withstand this divine power.

Xu Nan was somewhat incredulous. Was this guy really Emolan? This didn't make sense; the theory of the Ancient Seven Gods couldn't possibly allow him to descend!

At this moment, the rest of the Special Ops Team also noticed Xu Nan and Susie, and their faces were somewhat surprised. Jiang Yuanchi even gave Xu Nan several winks to ask what was going on, but unfortunately Xu Nan had no way to answer.

His heart was pounding, and an unprecedented sense of powerlessness welled up within him... A second-tier Initiate Sorcerer had absolutely no power to fight back when facing a creature from the realm of gods!

He could only watch helplessly as Zhao Jinquan walked up to Susie.

Two candles appeared in his hand as if by magic, one long and one short, both burning with flames the size of soybeans.

"Oh right, I almost forgot to introduce..."

Zhao Jinquan smiled and said to the Special Ops Team members, "Actually, you all got involved by accident. The only person I really wanted to invite to my cemetery was Mr. Cheng Song."

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

Xu Nan's heart skipped a beat.

Zhao Jinquan suspended two candles in mid-air. "I'm sorry, Susie, I admire your courage; although I don't have the same courage as you, I have enough patience. Thank you for the transformation you've completed. Now, what you may have in the future..."

"It's mine now."

"First, I will terminate your Guardian Contract with Mr. Cheng Song. Then I will establish Guardian Contract with him."

"Secondly, we will replace our life candle."

"There will be no third... I will steal your new life. As an old friend, I don't think you'll mind, will you?"

Zhao Jinquan's smile grew increasingly sinister. He placed his hand on Susie's forehead, and in that instant, Xu Nan felt an unprecedented surge of anger welling up inside her.

It's probably some weird idea like, "This is my Susie, you're not allowed to touch her."

On Susie's forehead, the Guardian Contract was faintly visible. Zhao Jinquan laughed triumphantly, and finally, he called out that name:

"... In the name of Emolan, I hereby terminate your contract with Cheng Song!"

A powerful, malevolent force surged through the air.

However, the contract flickered, but nothing happened.

Zhao Jinquan was taken aback. He frowned, probably thinking he had mispronounced the incantation, so he read it aloud again:

"In the name of the ancient god Emolan, I hereby dissolve the contract between you and Cheng Song!"

There was still no movement.

Zhao Jinquan looked somewhat comical, and the members of the Special Ops Team watched him silently, as if they were looking at a fool.

At this moment, Xu Nan really wanted to complain:

"What does your search for Cheng Song have to do with me, Xu Nan?"

Zhao Jinquan was completely baffled and stared intently at Xu Nan, making Xu Nan feel uneasy.

"You're not Cheng Song?"

He seemed to realize something.

However, at this moment, two hands suddenly appeared from the void, reached out to the two candles, and forcefully extinguished the flickering flames!

...!
