After entering the Hidden Door, Huo Shan was greeted by a mezzanine space that was only a dozen centimeters wide and less than a meter high.

This is a Small Dark Room that Huo Shan specially prepared for himself after moving into this apartment.

Since its completion, the Small Dark Room has not been used even once by Huo Shan.

The dark room was extremely small, only big enough for him and his teddy bear to hide in.

But precisely because of this, the Small Dark Room was difficult to discover. Now that he had entered it, Huo Shan felt a little relieved and extremely grateful for his decision to build the Small Dark Room.

Then Huo Shan turned on his phone and quickly sent a message to Song Xu, urging his followers to come and protect him.

"Damn it, if we were in the city, they would have arrived very quickly."

"This time, they just so happens to be in the suburbs..."

Just then, Huo Shan's body stiffened slightly; he heard some noise coming from inside the apartment.

Has anyone come in?

Then it seemed like someone was rummaging through the room.

Huo Shan quickly peered out through a crack left in the mezzanine and saw a stranger rummaging through the room.

"A neighbor taking advantage of the situation?"

"Is someone... still looking for me?"

After sending the message to Song Xu, Huo Shan quickly silenced his phone and then dared not make any unnecessary movements. Like a real doll, he lay quietly in the mezzanine without making a sound.

Meanwhile, inside Huo Shan's apartment room.

Zhang Yu was transforming into a stranger, wearing a hooded jacket, and quickly searching the room.

But the room was so cluttered and cluttered that Zhang Yu felt it would be impossible to search it all in less than a few hours.

Fu Ji said, "He must be hiding in this room."

"But each Evil God can manifest in different forms; it could be a toy, a stationery item, a pen, a glove, a necklace..."

"It's too late to search them one by one now."

"Smash it! Smash everything in the room as fast as you can, you'll definitely find him!"

Zhang Yu's body suddenly erupted with layers of Formless Cloud Gang.

However, in order to conceal his attack characteristics, he activated the Great Sun Qi Sea before activating the Formless Cloud Gang.

As the light was absorbed, the Formless Cloud Gang that Zhang Yu spewed out turned pitch black, like rolling dark clouds, and bombarded everything in front of him.

A series of smashing sounds rang out.

However, this commotion was quite common in the old apartment building, which was full of people. It was mixed in with the noise from arguments, music, and videos on other floors and didn't attract much attention.

Inside the mezzanine, Huo Shan peered through the cracks at the scene of things being smashed and destroyed outside, and his heart tightened.

He knew that if it were a neighbor taking advantage of his misfortune, they wouldn't come to his house and vandalize it.

The act of smashing things sent a chill down his spine. "So they really came looking for me?"

The thought of all the electronic products, game consoles, computers, figurines, models, etc. that he had bought being constantly smashed made Huo Shan feel as if his heart was bleeding.

"Damn it... they've vandalized my house?"

"You're bullying Evil God and don't dare call the police, huh?!"

"Just you wait!"

Huo Shan hurriedly pressed his phone, urging Song Xu and the others to come quickly to his rescue.

Not long ago.

Inside Unfinished Building in the suburbs.

After using the flying sword to investigate, no abnormalities were found.

Song Xu and five other believers entered from different parts of the Unfinished Building.

There's nothing there.

One of the believers frowned and said, "Is the intelligence correct? Or is the timing wrong?"

Song Xu frowned and said, "Something feels off. Let's get out of here."

Just as Song Xu and his group of six were leaving the Unfinished Building, a beam of light suddenly shone on them.

The two security guards looked at them and said, "You six! What are you doing here? Stealing things in the middle of the night, huh?"

"Do you know this is company property?"

Song Xu glanced at the security guard's Wanli Group uniform and thought to himself, "Does this building belong to Wanli Group? Someone's watching over this Unfinished Building? They arrived way too fast!"

Thinking of this, Song Xu's bad premonition grew stronger.

As for beating up the security guard in front of you? Just rush out?

Song Xu and his group of six dared not do such a thing, after all, these security guards represented the company behind them and had cameras connected to the internet at all times.

In the eyes of the six followers of the Evil God, these two security guards were far more dangerous and troublesome than the other Evil God.

After all, when fighting another Evil God, even if they were covered in blood, neither side dared to call the police; they just kept fighting in silence.

If they were to assault the security guards in front of them, they would likely face a lawsuit from the company no matter what.

Among Song Xu's group of six, there were two food delivery believers and one courier believer. Upon seeing the security guard, they immediately felt weak and powerless, not daring to fight, and kept their heads down, looking as if they didn't even dare to talk back.

Song Xu sighed inwardly, knowing they were acting out of professional habit, and could only step forward and say, "We didn't steal anything. You two can check if you don't believe us."

The security guard, brandishing a stun gun, said, "We received a report that someone is stealing building materials here. You'll all need to come with me to register your information."

The construction site follower pulled out a bottle of Dao Heart Buffer and handed it over with a grin. "Brothers, we accidentally wandered in while jogging at night, we really didn't take anything..."

The security guard slapped his hand away and shouted angrily, "Who's your boss? Come with me to register!"

The six followers of the Evil God dared not speak out in anger, and could only try to explain in a polite and patient manner.

The lead security guard became increasingly arrogant. Despite the fact that there were six of them, he had an entire company behind him, and these six people who looked like paupers were no match for him.

With his decades of experience as a security guard, these guys looked like deliverymen, food delivery workers, and construction workers, so it was only natural for him to subdue them. Just as the two sides were entangled, Song Xu touched his phone, which had been vibrating several times, and finally took it out to look at it. Then his expression suddenly changed, and he thought to himself, "Huo Shan been reported?"

"Pirated Cultivation Method?"

"Is someone looking for Huo Shan?"

Recalling today's experience, it was as if a lightning bolt had exploded in Song Xu's mind, followed by a surge of intense anger.

"The Evil God are fighting amongst themselves, and they're even resorting to reporting each other?! And even going to the police?!"

"The opposing Evil God is too unruly!"

Song Xu glared at the two security guards in front of him, knowing he couldn't be dragged out here any longer.

The other five believers nearby sensed the change in Song Xu's demeanor and all looked at him.

The six people exchanged glances, and their demeanor changed abruptly.

If they were timid and hesitant when facing the security guards just now, they suddenly stood up straight.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

"We can't delay any longer, so there's only one option..."

Song Xu suddenly dodged, blocking the other party's camera with one hand and extending the other hand in front of the other party. "Brother, it's not like the company is doing well, it's not like you are doing well, please make an exception."

The security guard's attitude softened immediately when he saw the several thousand yuan that the other party stuffed into his face.

Song Xu sneered inwardly, "Hmph, just two mere company security guards. I only had to explain things to you because I didn't want to spend the money."

"I'm in a hurry right now, why bother explaining!"

Just as Song Xu and his group were entangled with the security guards...

Bai Zhenzhen was watching the footage transmitted from the monitoring software on her phone.

Ever since Song Xu and the other five entered the Unfinished Building, Bai Zhenzhen has been constantly watching the surveillance footage.

She thought to herself, "Luckily, the security camera I installed yesterday still works, but it wasn't cheap."

Considering battery life, network connectivity, and image quality, the surveillance cameras, batteries, and network cards that Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu hid in the Unfinished Building cost them several thousand yuan.

However, it was indeed worth the price. Bai Zhenzhen recognized Song Xu's identity immediately upon seeing his appearance.

"It's him!"

More than half a year ago, when Bai Zhenzhen was investigating the leader of the Poor People Alliance, she had identified several suspected individuals from White Dragon High School.

Song Xu was one of them, and Bai Zhenzhen still has his photos and information on her phone.

Are they leaving?

Bai Zhenzhen breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw the security guards greet Song Xu and his group of six.

"Wanli Group's response was very swift, they arrived so quickly?"

It was Bai Zhenzhen who made the phone call, reporting that someone was suspected of stealing steel bars from the Unfinished Building, which attracted the attention of Wanli Group's security guards.

However, Bai Zhenzhen knew that these two security guards were just guys who could be dealt with for a few thousand or ten thousand at most, so she immediately sent a message to remind Zhang Yu.

Bai Zhenzhen: They're about to leave the Unfinished Building; you need to speed things up.

Bai Zhenzhen: I recognized one of them as Song Xu. I'll send you his information.

A moment later, when Bai Zhenzhen looked at the surveillance footage again, Song Xu and the other six had successfully shaken off the security guards and left the Unfinished Building.

However, Bai Zhenzhen wasn't too worried.

She opened her navigation app and looked at the route from the Unfinished Building to the Evil God Apartment. The road was already a deep crimson.

"Hehe, this timing and location weren't something Yu Zi and I randomly decided on."

"It's rush hour right now, and the roads here are congested."

"Shouldn't we be able to delay them a little longer?"

Inside the apartment room.

Looking at the message Bai Zhenzhen sent, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is she coming back?"

He glanced at Song Xu's file, then looked up at the various pieces of furniture he had smashed, his brows furrowing.

"How come there's so much stuff in this lousy place?"

Zhang Yu looked at the various messy items: clothes that looked like they were for pets, massage pillows, rows of sneakers, detergent, figurines, models...

"It's practically a garbage dump."

Meanwhile, peering through the gaps from the mezzanine, Huo Shan watched Zhang Yu smash things for another ten minutes or so. A pang of heartache mixed with immense relief struck him. "Who the hell said I bought things haphazardly? If I hadn't bought so much stuff, how could it have dragged on for so long?"

Seeing that Zhang Yu had smashed so much stuff but still hadn't found the Evil God, Fu Ji reminded him, "Something doesn't feel right."

"Could there be some kind of secret room or mezzanine in this run-down apartment?"

Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "Are we going to smash up the wall?"

Fu Ji said, "Breaking down the wall will attract too much attention; the neighbors might call the property management."

Just then, Zhang Yu's phone vibrated, receiving a message from Bai Zhenzhen.

Zhang Yu knew that Bai Zhenzhen had been keeping watch for him in the alley downstairs while watching the surveillance footage of the Unfinished Building. The message she sent must be very important, so he immediately picked up his phone to check it.

Bai Zhenzhen: They're here!

Bai Zhenzhen: Retreat quickly!

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened. "So fast?!"

Bai Zhenzhen: Hurry! They're too fast! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late.

Looking at the pile of garbage in front of him, Zhang Yu snorted coldly, seemingly filled with intense resentment, and left the room.
