It's over, it's all over!

It's over, it's all over!

A faint shimmer flashed across his body.

Tang Luo consumed a portion of Merit power to cleanse the bloodstains from his clothes.

As for his hat, it had a new hole in it, so he simply discarded it.

It would be much easier to just buy a new one later.

If his bald head wasn't still a bit too eye-catching, Tang Luo wouldn't have bothered wearing a hat in the first place.

Not in any rush to press the elevator's upward button, Tang Luo loosened his grip and dropped the two bullets he had caught.

There was another one that Count Thorndike had missed due to the recoil, which had embedded itself into the wall.

He walked to the other side of the table.

Tang Luo looked at the black revolver that Count Thorndike had just been using.

This gun had successfully piqued his interest.

Bending down, he picked up the black revolver, and information naturally surfaced in Tang Luo's mind.

Just like the mission information that had appeared before—

Omen

A revolver of unknown origin; the golden patterns carved into the gun body symbolize the meaning of "Omen."

Its previous owners all seem to have met with unnatural deaths.

Attached Skills:

1. Blood Vitality Bullet.

Consumes the user's blood vitality to form temporary blood bullets; no reloading required.

2. Ending Storm.

Fires 6,000 bullets in one minute, enough to shred everything in front of it.

Cooldown: 10 hours, no consumption, no recoil.

----Hold it, and you hold death.

"Interesting."

Tang Luo chuckled, rummaged through Count Thorndike's corpse, and removed the specialized holster for the revolver named Omen.

After stowing Omen away and taking another look around the room, Tang Luo walked back into the elevator.

The elevator began to rise slowly, and a few bullets and shell casings rolled onto the floor, making a clinking sound.

After a while, the underground room returned to silence.

He chose not to fight his way out.

Tang Luo once again used the Merit Jade Lotus to conceal his figure and left the manor.

The Merit power gained from this trip wasn't particularly high.

But compared to what he had consumed, it was still a significant surplus.

Tang Luo was no miser.

Consuming Merit power to heal wounds was not a process that could be completed in an instant.

During this period, Tang Luo would not hoard his Merit power and use it solely for healing.

When it was time to use it, he certainly wouldn't be stingy.

"Smack!"

Li Liang slapped his own face, the crisp sound causing both Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian to look at him.

"There are mosquitoes; didn't you guys get bitten?" Li Liang asked.

Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian shook their heads in unison.

Unlike the real world, the time in this mission world could already be considered winter.

Even though there was no heavy snowfall, the weather was quite cold.

Where would mosquitoes come from?

"I guess my blood is just tastier; I've attracted mosquitoes since I was a kid," Li Liang said, sounding rather miserable.

"It's done."

Just then, a voice drifted over, causing Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian to immediately raise their guns before lowering them again.

Master Xuanzang had returned.

"Master, did you kill Count Thorndike?" Looking at Tang Luo, who was perfectly clean and differed from when he left only by the absence of his hat, Chu Chongtian couldn't help but ask.

"Mm."

Tang Luo nodded, "It just so happened that he invited other members of the organization, so I rounded them all up in one go."

Zhou Zhenguo looked toward the direction of the manor.

It remained a scene of peace and tranquility, with singing and dancing still in full swing.

It did not look like it had just experienced a massacre.

"I also obtained something."

Tang Luo lifted his coat, took out Omen, and lightly handed it to Zhou Zhenguo.

Zhou Zhenguo instinctively took it, then his "mighty frame shuddered," and shuddered again.

He was almost struck out on the third strike.

"This gun is really cool."

Chu Chongtian shone his flashlight, saw the appearance of Omen clearly, and sighed with genuine admiration.

"It's not just a matter of being cool; this is equipment."

Zhou Zhenguo said.

"Equipment?" Chu Chongtian was a bit puzzled, then recalled, "Is this what you meant by the benefits obtained during a mission, aside from the rewards after completing it—that it's equipment?"

Zhou Zhenguo said: "No, the benefits obtained in a mission world are diverse, and equipment is just one of them. The rewards received after completing a mission are not entirely skills either; there is a certain possibility of obtaining equipment as well."

"Is it any different from an ordinary gun?" Chu Chongtian asked.

Zhou Zhenguo looked at Tang Luo, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he handed Omen to Chu Chongtian.

He was deeply confused inside.

He suspected that Master Xuanzang must be a veteran who played the pig to eat the tiger.

Given the other party's strength, it was definitely the case.

However, he truly seemed to know nothing about the God and Demon Game.

Even if one were playing the pig to eat the tiger, would they just carelessly hand over a piece of equipment to someone else after obtaining it?

He had the look of "you help me explain this."

It was abnormal!

That was not how one faked it.

Even if it were for show, it would fall into the category of trying to look cool and ending up looking like an idiot.

Could it be that in the real world, there still exist transcendent beings who are not God and Demon Walkers?

"So amazing!"

While Zhou Zhenguo was thinking, Chu Chongtian, who was holding Omen, exclaimed.

Turning the revolver in his hands, his surprised expression was like that of a little boy seeing his favorite toy.

Mixed in was an undisguised regret.

Because this toy was not his.

"This is equipment."

Zhou Zhenguo explained, thinking that no matter what, following Master Xuanzang's lead would certainly not be wrong, "It is different from the guns we get. It is truly special, something that can be brought out of a mission world and used in the next mission world."

Zhou Zhenguo had previously used a dagger as an example.

But the dagger he used as an example could not actually be brought out of the mission world.

Just like weapons from the real world, they could not be brought into the mission world either.

Before entering a mission, being fully armed was basically useless.

Because one would be stripped "clean," with only the most basic items retained.

Basically, one would only have a complete set of clothes and shoes.

Last time, Zhou Zhenguo stuffed a nail clipper into his pocket, and it didn't make it in.

Likewise, upon leaving a mission world, even if you had a ton of gold on your head.

After returning to the real world, you would still be empty-handed.

Only equipment and a small number of items could be carried freely.

The idea of buying low and selling high to become a profiteer and walking the path to riches did not exist.

It was very simple to distinguish whether an item was equipment.

After contacting it for some time, or holding it in your hand (for small items), if it were equipment, relevant information would appear.

If there was no relevant information.

Even if it looked cool or was easy to use, or could split an entire continent with one strike, it did not fall into the category of equipment.

Zhou Zhenguo knew about equipment and had seen it with his own eyes.

But this was the first time he had truly come into contact with equipment.

Chu Chongtian took one last look at the revolver, then reluctantly handed it back to Tang Luo.

"Do all pieces of equipment have attached skills?" Tang Luo asked as he put Omen away.

"I suppose so," Zhou Zhenguo said. "Actually, I only knew about them and had seen them before, but this is my first time truly coming into contact with one."

Because equipment would display its information, no one would easily hand over their own gear to someone else.

"Hmm," Tang Luo nodded.

"Rest assured, Master Xuanzang, we definitely won't leak this information," Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian both vowed solemnly.

Perhaps this was a test.

If they could prove themselves to be trustworthy people with tight lips, they would surely be able to cling to his coattails in the future.

"It's fine."

Tang Luo did not care at all about letting the two of them know the detailed information of Omen.

For Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian, this Omen was undoubtedly a piece of equipment they craved.

But for Tang Luo, it was not that important.

It was merely icing on the cake.

If one were to think in a darker vein:

In the future, if Tang Luo encountered an enemy who had obtained information about Omen's skills from these two, that enemy would be on high alert against it, only to be punched to death by Tang Luo anyway.

That would also be an "interesting" turn of events.

Li Liang, on the other side, did not crowd over, listening silently as if he were learning.

With the matter resolved, the four of them walked slowly toward the small town.

There was only one road, with rather dense grass and trees on both sides.

However, they did not encroach upon the road; after all, it was an important thoroughfare connecting the small town to the outside world.

It was also the connecting road between Count Thorndike's manor and the town.

It certainly had to be well-maintained.

They walked for over half an hour.

The night breeze carried a bit of noisy commotion, which seemed to be coming from the direction of the manor.

Has it only been discovered now? Zhou Zhenguo thought to himself.

Since Master Xuanzang said he had wiped out the "organization" in one fell swoop, that meant at least five or six people had died tonight.

Only by having those key members die along with Count Thorndike, leaving behind only a few real small-fry, could it be considered a clean sweep.

Returning to the inn, the night was already quite deep, approaching midnight.

The inn was the same one they had stayed at on the first night, the one where Bi Wanhui had gone missing.

Jack the Ripper possessed the ability to possess others.

Truth be told, it made no difference which inn they stayed at.

Old John's disappearance had made the innkeeper somewhat fearful, and he treated Tang Luo and the others with a fawning attitude.

To a certain extent, this was favorable for Tang Luo and his group's actions.

As for the several rooms they had originally occupied, Tang Luo had them changed to the largest and most luxurious room in the inn.

It could accommodate all four of them, preventing Jack the Ripper from picking them off one by one.

The next day.

Zhou Zhenguo's brows were locked in a frown as he puffed away on a cigarette.

He looked exactly like a middle-aged, balding uncle who had reached the limit of his misery: the kind who gets scolded by a boss ten years his junior at the office, only to go home and hear his wife complain that the neighbor, Old Wang, took his whole family to the Maldives, while his high school daughter returns home late at night to announce she has a boyfriend who just got out of prison, whom everyone calls Brother Long, and who has a lot of "face."

Beside him, Chu Chongtian asked Zhou Zhenguo for a cigarette, then proceeded to choke himself half to death.

"If you don't know how to smoke, don't. It's not a good thing; I had already quit," Zhou Zhenguo said.

"Second-hand is worse than first-hand."

Chu Chongtian said, "Uncle Zhou, how did things end up like this?"

The two were currently in the inn's lobby.

The front door was wide open, and they could see the crowds of people outside.

Come to think of it, this was the first time everyone had seen so many people gathered on the streets.

From the moment they emerged from the tomb until now, the small town had always felt cold and desolate.

Aside from last night's banquet, this was the liveliest moment Tang Luo and the others had witnessed during their time here.

Fragments of the crowd's discussions drifted into their ears from time to time.

"They're all dead..."

"It's like a slaughterhouse; nine out of every ten Scotland Yard inspectors who went there were vomiting."

"It's over, everything is over!"
