Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Lin Dong raced through the carriage as bloody words reading "kill" kept appearing on the windows on either side!
Only then did Lin Dong realize.
The word "kill" they had first seen in Carriage 15, and all those they had seen afterward, were manifestations of the Heavenly Will!
The instance would not tolerate intruders!
They had to be eliminated completely!
Those it wanted to "kill" were the Demon-Worshipping Cult Followers!
Carriage 4.
Lin Dong stood at the carriage door and glanced at his mission progress: [11/13]
Most of the followers the Demon-Worshipping Cult had sent this time were level 8-10.
The gap in strength was enormous.
On top of that, Lin Dong stayed hidden in the darkness and held the initiative completely. Even when his opponents were prepared, he could still kill them easily!
Two left!
Once he eliminated those two, everything would be over.
Click!
A cold gleam shone in Lin Dong's eyes as he resolutely opened the door to Carriage 4.
Whoosh!
The moment the door opened, what greeted Lin Dong was not an attack, but blood!
Blood surged toward him like a tsunami!
In mere moments!
The blood rose past Lin Dong's shins to his knees!
Lin Dong stared into Carriage 4, his expression dark.
Red!
A sea of crimson!
There was no color anywhere in the carriage except red!
The middle of the carriage had been converted into a Blood Sacrifice Altar. A pregnant woman lay on its surface, which bore Evil Inscriptions, her limbs bound.
Beside the pregnant woman knelt a mysterious man dressed entirely in black robes.
He kept muttering something, and with every utterance, the pregnant woman's belly trembled violently.
Lin Dong looked closely and discovered that her belly had already turned a pale bluish white. It looked as fragile as water-soaked paper!
And beneath her belly were rows upon rows of towering buildings!
They stood there silently, as though the slightest poke would bring them straight before Lin Dong's eyes!
Manifestation!
Lin Dong's expression instantly darkened.
He had never expected that someone could actually manifest an instance in reality!
If every instance could be manifested in reality, this world would probably... be doomed!
"Those lunatics!"
Lin Dong cursed through gritted teeth.
"You're finally here!"
Just then, a mysterious man in black robes abruptly appeared before Lin Dong. His robes bore one more star than ordinary black robes. "Do you know..."
Bam!
Lin Dong wasted no words. He drove a furious punch straight into the man's face!
Splat!
The man immediately spat blood and flew backward.
"Damn you!"
The mysterious man roared, "Have you got no..."
Lin Dong wasted no words and followed up with another punch. Tiger Demon Might erupted instantly!
Fucking idiot!
Watched too many movies, have you? You're trying to destroy the fucking world. Who has time to trade lines with you? I'll kill you first, you bastard!
Having landed his first blow, Lin Dong gave him no chance to recover. His fists rained down like a storm!
One blow after another!
[Ding! You have killed an intruder. Progress +1!]
Only after the system confirmed the kill did Lin Dong unclench his blood-dripping fists.
Who that mysterious man was or what he had wanted to say did not interest Lin Dong in the slightest.
His gaze remained fixed on the kneeling man as he said through gritted teeth:
"Looks like Zhou Gong's intel was wrong. Number Seven's intel was wrong too."
"The highest-level leader this time definitely wasn't that level 18 Martial Master just now. It must be you, Number Two!"
The mysterious man, who had been kneeling before the altar and chanting scriptures all this time, stopped moving his hands when Lin Dong exposed his code name.
"Since you've already guessed my identity, you should also have guessed that the instance's Heavenly Will is suppressing me. I'm at my weakest right now."
The mysterious Number Two's voice drifted eerily through the air. "Why not take this chance to kill me?"
"You certainly didn't waste this many words on Number One just now."
"I was confident I could kill him. Naturally, there was no need to waste words."
Lin Dong stared coldly at Number Two.
"I see."
Number Two chuckled. "Then I suppose I should thank you for thinking so highly of me."
"Don't mention it. I'll beat you to death in the end!"
Lin Dong focused and gathered his strength, swiftly studying Number Two as he tried to pinpoint whatever was making him uneasy.
"Stop looking."
Number Two smiled faintly, as though greeting an old friend. "The instance's Heavenly Will really is suppressing me right now. I can't divert my attention. The moment I leave, the Heavenly Will will annihilate me."
"So right now, I have one and only one way to stay alive!"
"If you can defeat him, you won't have to do anything else. I'll kill myself."
"Hm?!"
Wariness flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. He did not believe for a second that a demonic cult leader would give up resisting so easily.
If he gave up that easily, this carriage would not be full of blood!
"I don't blame you for not believing me."
Number Two smiled faintly, then his tone suddenly turned solemn and earnest. "My dearest friend, my beloved brother, my comrade through life and death, please help me one more time!"
"Tang San!"
"Huh?!"
Until then, Number Two's demeanor had made Lin Dong deadly serious. His fists were clenched, his nerves taut as he watched his surroundings warily.
Then Tang San's name came out, and the entire mood collapsed!
"Tang San?!"
Lin Dong looked at Number Two in disbelief. "You can summon Tang San?!"
"Do you think our God-Worshipping Cult is a demonic cult?"
Number Two suddenly burst into proud laughter. "Do you think affinity is only used to redeem rewards from a Child of Destiny?"
"Why do you think the college entrance exams favor students with higher affinity every year?"
"What do you think is the greatest difference between a Martial Master and a Warrior General?"
Number Two asked one question after another, his voice rising each time, opening up an entirely different world for Lin Dong!
At most, Lin Dong had heard of people receiving a Child of Destiny's Legacy Inheritance. He had never heard of anyone manifesting a Child of Destiny!
Yet just as countless thoughts raced through Lin Dong's mind!
Wisps of blue smoke began rising from Number Two's head, changing shape with deliberate purpose.
Almost in the blink of an eye!
The blue smoke took on a human form. His body was hazy, as though he might dissipate at any moment, but his face was relatively clear, his features and expression visible.
"Tang San!"
Seeing the human figure in midair, Number Two cried out excitedly, his tone almost pleading. "My friend, help me kill him!"
Blue Tang San hung in the air, frozen for several seconds before slowly turning his head toward Lin Dong!
Lin Dong noticed that although he turned his head, his eyes were utterly empty, without a trace of life, like a puppet's.
Click!
Just as that thought occurred to Lin Dong, Blue Tang San pulled a hidden weapon from somewhere in midair!
"Storm-Pear Blossom Needles?!"
Lin Dong had never imagined that Tang San, whose very body was so insubstantial, could produce such a solid hidden weapon!
He knew that thing all too well!
After all, just over ten minutes ago, he had used the Storm-Pear Blossom Needles to harvest a batch of experience.
Click!
Hearing the mechanism engage, Lin Dong's pupils contracted. "Holy shit! It really is Tang San?!"
