Didi Robbery, Everyone Aboard!

It was a terrifying pulling force that defied all physical laws.

Like an enormous invisible net of space, it instantly enveloped the dozen or so second-tier mercenaries charging ferociously toward him.

These mercenaries were desperadoes who lived with their tongues on the blade. At the sight of Su Bai, their greed and killing intent had long since exceeded the Midnight School Bus's 30% threshold.

[Core rule one: Forced Boarding, conditions met!]

"Holy shit! Why can't I move my body?!"

The mercenary at the front had his raised saber frozen in midair. To his horror, he discovered that not only could he no longer advance, but an irresistible force was dragging him backward!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-!

Under the horrified gazes of Poison Wolf and the kidnapped students.

The dozen or so second-tier mercenaries flew backward through the air like fallen leaves caught in a gale, flailing helplessly and screaming in agony before being shoved unerringly through the Midnight School Bus's open door!

Bang!

The door slammed shut.

Immediately afterward, the excited sounds of fourteen evil spirits reveling erupted from inside the bus.

The tearing of flesh, the crunching of bones, and the mercenaries' utterly despairing screams mingled into a symphony of hell within the enclosed bus.

The entire school bus rocked violently as dark red blood sprayed across the windows, dripping down through the gaps in the glass.

In less than a minute.

The screams stopped abruptly.

All that remained inside the bus were the sounds of chewing that made one's scalp crawl and the sickening stench of blood.

[Ding! The Midnight School Bus has successfully forced twelve second-tier False Gods aboard and devoured them!]

[The baleful energy inside the bus has reached its critical point! School bus armor hardness increased! The Divine Kingdom core has absorbed a large quantity of divine power essence!]

[Current stops: 3/3. This trip's mission has been successfully completed. The vehicle is charging and can begin its next round of passenger collection at any time.]

Listening to the system notifications in his mind, Su Bai whistled in satisfaction.

"This restocking efficiency feels even better than a Double Eleven shopping spree."

At the bottom of the mine, a deathly silence reigned.

The students who had thought they were doomed now stood with their mouths agape, staring blankly at the bus still dripping blood and the brightly smiling young man beside its door.

Su Bai? The Wasteland Divine Kingdom trash everyone at school knew about?

He... he had instantly killed twelve second-tier mercenaries in a single move?!

This had to be a fucking dream!

Poison Wolf, standing in the center of the formation, had gone from wild delight to barely concealed horror.

He stared fixedly at the school bus, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he sensed the terrifying resentment emanating from within, strong enough to make even his heart tremble.

"Rules... is this a rule-type horror story?!"

Poison Wolf finally understood.

Though he was a third-tier False God, he knew full well that rule-type horror stories were the most unreasonable existences in the world of deities. They didn't care about your tier, only whether you triggered their rules!

"No wonder Venomous Bee died at your hands. So you brat had something this taboo hidden in your Divine Kingdom!"

Poison Wolf looked at Su Bai through gritted teeth, a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

When facing a rule-type horror story, the wisest choice was to avoid contact and retreat immediately.

But he glanced at the diversion formation beneath his feet, which was nearly complete, then at Su Bai. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"So what if you have a rule-type horror story?! As long as I don't trigger your rules, what can a brat whose own body hasn't even reached the first tier do to me?!"

Poison Wolf abruptly formed hand seals, and his third-tier divine power erupted.

"Blood Shadow Wolf King! Come out!"

Awoo-!

With an earth-shaking howl, the phantom of a giant wolf over five meters long, its body ablaze with blood-red flames, leaped out from behind Poison Wolf.

This was Poison Wolf's trump-card follower, an early third-tier mutant blood wolf!

"Go! Tear that brat to pieces! Stay away from that bus!"

Pointing at Su Bai, Poison Wolf gave the order to kill.

The Blood Shadow Wolf King roared and became a streak of blood-red lightning, avoiding the front of the Midnight School Bus and lunging straight for Su Bai's throat from an extremely tricky angle at the side.

The third-tier exotic beast was too fast, so fast that the naked eye couldn't catch it.

On the cliff, Lin Que and Shen Yueli watched, their hearts leaping into their throats.

"Brother Bai, look out!"

However.

Facing the third-tier blood wolf lunging at him.

Su Bai not only failed to dodge, but curled his lip in disdain.

"Mister, did you think this bus was all I had?"

Su Bai stood where he was, not even taking his hands out of his pockets. He simply called softly in his mind.

Hongdou, this husky is too noisy. Loosen its bones for it.

Buzz-!!!

Just as the Blood Shadow Wolf King's sharp fangs were about to bite through Su Bai's neck.

A pitch-black abyss tore open without warning in the void behind him.

A flash of dazzling scarlet appeared before Su Bai in an instant, like lightning tearing through the night.

Hongdou!

Her scarlet wedding dress fluttered fiercely in the wind. Beneath her waist-length hair, her deathly pale, featureless face tilted slightly as she "looked" straight at the Blood Shadow Wolf King in midair.

[Core rule one: Death Gaze, conditions triggered!]

Though the Blood Shadow Wolf King was a third-tier exotic beast, it was still a living creature.

The instant it saw Hongdou, a flash of remarkably human fear appeared in its bloodthirsty eyes.

It instinctively tried to turn its head away from her gaze.

But it was too late.

Crack!

A sharp, teeth-grating report echoed through the mine.

The Blood Shadow Wolf King's enormous body went rigid in midair. Under the strangling force of Hongdou's invisible rule, its massive wolf head was forcibly twisted a full 180 degrees!

Spurt!

Scalding wolf blood gushed from its broken neck like a fountain.

Bang!

The early third-tier Blood Shadow Wolf King didn't even have time to scream before its enormous body crashed at Su Bai's feet. It twitched twice, then went completely still.

An instant kill!

Another instant kill!

This time, it wasn't a second-tier mercenary who had been killed instantly, but a genuine third-tier follower!

Pfft-!

His follower killed in an instant, Poison Wolf suffered severe backlash as its host. He spat out a great mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper, and stared in disbelief at the red-clad female ghost standing before Su Bai.

"Third tier... this is a third-tier rule too?!"

Poison Wolf completely broke down.

A high school student not only had a peak second-tier ghost bus that ate people, but was also hiding a female ghost capable of instantly killing a third-tier follower!

Who the fuck was robbing whom here?!

"Run! I have to run!"

Poison Wolf's mental defenses collapsed completely. Now he had only one thought in his head: to escape this monster wearing human skin!

Abandoning the diversion formation beneath his feet, he crushed a precious "directional spatial teleportation talisman," preparing to forcibly break through the secret realm's spatial barrier and escape.

Buzz!

A pillar of silvery-white spatial light enveloped Poison Wolf.

"Su Bai! Just you wait! The Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps will never let you off!" Poison Wolf roared venomously from within the pillar of light.

Watching Poison Wolf on the verge of teleporting away, Su Bai made no move to stop him. Instead, he smiled like an old fox.

"Mister, aren't you forgetting something?"

Su Bai snapped his fingers.

"The Thirteen Steps, see him off."

Rumble-!!!

Just as Poison Wolf was about to be teleported away.

The ground beneath his feet suddenly churned violently.

The once-flat bottom of the mine transformed in an instant into a dilapidated staircase, overgrown with moss and covered in bloodstains!

And Poison Wolf was standing right on the thirteenth step!

"No!!!"

Poison Wolf let out a desperate scream.

He discovered that the silvery-white pillar of spatial teleportation light shattered inch by inch like glass the moment it touched the thirteenth step!

The Thirteen Steps' absolute Spatial Labyrinth rule had directly crushed that low-level spatial teleportation talisman!

Buzz-!

Poison Wolf vanished into thin air from the bottom of the mine, along with the eerie staircase.

Forcibly dragged into that endlessly looping labyrinth of death, filled with bloody handprints.

Deathly silence returned to the mine.

Only Su Bai's lighthearted whistling echoed through the air.

"All right, robbery complete."

Su Bai walked over to the diversion formation that was still flashing with black light. Without hesitation, he kicked apart the high-tier bone pillars around its edge and tossed them straight into the Divine Kingdom rift.

"These formation materials are pretty good. I'll take them back to the Forbidden Hospital for renovations."

After doing all this, Su Bai turned to look at the students still kneeling on the ground, utterly dumbstruck.

He walked over and nudged the fat boy who had earlier claimed his dad was the richest man.

"Hey, wake up. You said you'd pay me, right?"

Su Bai pulled out his phone, brought up his payment QR code, and held it out with a smile.

"That'll be one million per person for saving your lives. Scan to pay; no credit."
