Jiang Qiao could only silently say, "Awesome."
Supernatural Revival did not only have ghosts.
It also had Hell Fairy Tales.
Even princes would weep upon seeing such a little princess.
Let her crawl.
[Day Thirty-One. Little Monk chanted Amitabha while using his alms bowl to smash a Ghost Chicken to death. That night, you ate chicken together.] [Day Thirty-Two. You arrived in Lin City and found ragged ghosts wandering everywhere like beggars. You found a small town that had been converted into a Shelter Camp. You discovered that Lin City's Shelter Camp did not have many people, yet Evolvers swaggered in and out freely. You settled the Ghost Infant and the cat outside, then entered the camp with Little Monk. With your ability to control lightning, you received a warm welcome from the camp administrator. During your conversation, you learned that the administrator was named Ma Baoguo. Before Supernatural Revival, he had been a village chief and martial arts enthusiast. Because the casualties had been severe and they lacked manpower, the higher-ups had asked him to temporarily take on management duties while awaiting the military's takeover. You asked about the Evolvers. He told you that the matter had to be viewed from two sides; not all Evolvers were bad people. You gave him a warning. When he refused to listen, you gave up. He said that without the Evolvers' help, the Shelter Camp could not have saved so many people.] [Day Thirty-Three. Dense explosions suddenly rang out from Lin City's Shelter Camp. You stood atop a mountain not far from the camp and saw raging flames rise within the city, while cries and wails filled the air. The Evolvers had completed their preparations and launched an attack from within and without.] [Day Thirty-Four. You heard Vicious Ghosts howling and smelled rot spreading through the air. You witnessed soaring resentment transform into terrified human faces across the sky. You recognized Xiao Wang from the barbecue stall and Sister Hong from the butcher shop at night. You also saw Ma Baoguo's resentful face. You used Stealth to enter the town and saw dense fingers carpeting the ground as Bone Trees burst from the earth. The entire camp had become the Evolvers' orchard.]
"So that was it."
Jiang Qiao suddenly understood.
During the previous simulations, he had received news that Lin City had been breached by Evolvers.
But he had not known the details.
He had never expected that this journey would allow him to witness the entire process firsthand.
Lin City was not large, so it did not have many Awakened.
The Evolvers had deliberately shown goodwill in the early stages, deceiving the administrators into trusting them.
Ma Baoguo had never imagined that the Evolvers were merely competing with Vicious Ghosts for food when they saved people.
Once the survivors had gathered in sufficient numbers, they directly turned everyone into fertilizer for Bone Trees.
[Day Thirty-Five. You encountered a five-man Evolver squad. You commanded over a hundred Ghost Infants to ambush them. You found a "New Humans" business card on them.] [...] [Day Thirty-Eight. You encountered an Evolver team again on mountain paths. They carried a coffin, inside which sat a pale old man. Your Dual Pupils suddenly began to throb, and you sensed that there was something in the vehicle extremely important to them. You commanded the Ghost Infants to ambush them. During the fierce battle, you discovered that the old man was terrifyingly powerful. Who knew how many people he had eaten? He was actually able to contend with you. In the end, you killed him, but you were injured as well. You found a purple "New Humans" identification card on him, bearing the words "North District Deputy Manager." Aside from that, you found a golden box. When you opened it, there was a blood-red Vermillion Fruit inside. You sensed the hunger of your Dual Pupils. You swallowed the fruit. Your Dual Pupils fell into deep sleep, and you sensed them transforming toward the Third Tier. However, the box carried a curse, and you had been locked onto.] [Day Thirty-Nine. You encountered Evolvers again. You used Stealth to kill them in return, but were unfortunately poisoned.] [Day Forty. You found a way to detoxify yourself. With Little Monk's consecration, you suppressed the poison's spread. But you had no time to search for materials and prepare medicine, because a constant stream of Evolvers came looking for you.] [Day Forty-One. More than half of your Ghost Infants were lost, and four powerful enemies besieged you. You shook the dice and rolled a 6. Your Lightning Thunder Fist broke through to the Fifth Tier! An incomplete Thunder Spirit appeared within your body! Your connection to lightning deepened. The Black Cat and Little Monk risked injury to hold back one person. You fought a bloody battle despite your injuries, severely wounding one and killing two. You fought your way out of the encirclement and began to flee.] [Day Forty-Two. A coffin suddenly descended from the sky. Though you sent it flying with a punch despite your grave injuries, you collapsed and could not rise again. Your injuries were too severe. A strange woman with three mouths crawled out of the coffin. She killed the Black Cat and Sanzang. Powerless, you shook the Fate Dice again. Five points! You sensed a change in the Dual Pupils that had long been in deep sleep. Something was about to awaken. The woman seemed to notice that something was wrong as well, and her expression changed dramatically. She vanished into thin air and instantly appeared before you. You died. Before your death, you heard someone call her Manager.]
[This Weird Simulation has ended.] [The host survived for a total of forty-two days. Cooldown time: 84 minutes.] [Congratulations, host. This simulation has granted the talent "Stalker" (S), which will automatically be used in the next simulation.]
"Whew—"
Letting out a breath, Jiang Qiao lay on the bed with his eyes closed for quite a while.
This simulation was no longer limited to the small corner of Bin City, so it had revealed an enormous amount of information.
Animals carrying Ghost Qi.
Flesh tumors growing on highways.
The strange Snow White.
The Lin City Shelter Camp, where everyone had suffered a Blood Sacrifice.
And the "New Humans"!
Jiang Qiao had initially thought they were just an ordinary Folk Organization.
He had not expected them to be so powerful, with so many strong members!
Especially that final woman. Even if she was not Fifth Tier, she had to be close.
And she was some North District Manager.
That was terrifying information.
Since there was a North District, there were likely South District, East District, and West District as well.
There was more than one powerhouse like her.
And since there were districts, what was above the districts?
There were most likely even more terrifying powerhouses!
Looking at this organizational structure, Jiang Qiao now seriously doubted that they had only emerged after Supernatural Revival.
How could they gather Evolvers and establish such a massive organization in merely a few dozen days?
"I have to find out more about them."
"They're a bigger problem than Vicious Ghosts."
Jiang Qiao frowned and raised this group's threat level to the highest rank.
"Good thing I have the Simulator."
After exhaling, Jiang Qiao began taking stock of this simulation's gains.
His Dual Pupils, for which he had never been able to find an upgrade method, had finally gained a direction.
It seemed that simply absorbing Ghost Qi would not work.
The Dual Pupils needed to consume certain things, such as the Vermillion Fruit obtained this time.
But where did such things come from?
Could they have been cultivated too?
The Mad Scientist talent had failed to analyze the Vermillion Fruit, which showed that this thing was of quite a high level.
That made sense. If its level had not been high, it would not have been packaged in a cursed box.
Besides the Dual Pupils, Lightning Thunder Fist had also risen to the Fifth Tier with the Fate Dice's help.
And after reaching the Fifth Tier, it had actually formed an incomplete Thunder Spirit within his body!
Thunder Spirits were lifeforms born within lightning, naturally capable of controlling electricity.
It was said that the earliest Thunder God of ancient times had transformed from a Thunder Spirit.
Fifth Tier!
Jiang Qiao silently repeated it in his heart.
Perhaps after reaching the Fifth Tier, he would be qualified to test his strength against Braided Girl.
