The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 216 Xu Shu: Want to trick me? Impossible, absolutely impossible! (Seeking monthly votes)
Tsk, I didn't expect that Gu Pan, who looks like a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could secretly turn the upgraded drive into a bad omen.

The upgraded drive has a built-in cleaning function, so doesn't that mean she can wash one less piece of underwear than other women?
What a perverted woman.

No wonder she likes to dress up as a man!
Xu Shu spit on her harshly.

He stood for a moment through the tent curtain, admiring the "3" that was shaking into a clear shape due to the intense exercise for about ten minutes. Then he calmly wiped his mouth and left, starting to wash his face and brush his teeth.

On winter mornings, washing your face with cold water is the quickest way to calm yourself down and challenge your mood.

Then he looked to the east, toward the clouds in the sky that were gradually turning red.

[The sun rises, all things revive, welcome back to Taichu Scroll, great master]

[Number of times remaining to open today: 3/3]

"Finally refreshed..."

Xu Shu's lips curled up slightly and his gaze turned to the north.

It's time to find out what the two bodies of Suki Herrera are up to!
He gathered his spirit and concentrated his will, penetrating into the half-opened Taichu scroll in the void and forcefully stretched out the remaining part.

I was immediately surrounded by fog, and a flashing light began to flash before my eyes:

[Detecting current status...]

【Inspection completed.】

[You are in a bad situation now. You are at an abandoned lighthouse (8, 3) on the northeastern border of D15B19. You are surrounded by a group of cultists with severed fingers. Among them, there are twelve extraordinary people, eleven of whom are first-level extraordinary people, and only one is a second-level extraordinary person. They all belong to the same career path: psychic.]

"Psychic?"

Xu Shu touched his chin.

He had a vague impression that "psychics" belonged to the supernatural way of dealing with so-called "ghosts and the dead".

Unlike the ghost-catching professions like Taoist priests, the "Psychic" is relatively gentle at the first level, and its skills are like "divination" and "clairvoyance", which are auxiliary abilities.

When they reach the second stage, they will undergo a qualitative change and become "Necromancers", possessing offensive skills such as 'Undead Control' and 'Soul Fire Detonation'.

It is a profession that makes a huge difference during the first and second stages.

After all this time, it turns out that these nuns, who look a bit stupid and unlucky, are really holding "will-o'-the-wisp" in their hands?
Xu Shu burst out laughing, but what surprised him the most was that the head maid was actually a second-level transcendent!
To be honest, this "Necromancer" was someone I had encountered before I broke through, but the pressure from his aura and the sense of danger he brought was so small that it could be ignored.

To the extent that Xu Shu had always believed that they were only at the first level, and his defense against them was more out of the caution of a lion attacking a rabbit, rather than being wary of their strength.

But unexpectedly, it was still a second-level one.

This second level is a bit lackluster...

Xu Shu pushed open the door and saw the nuns who were already standing in a neat row, holding soul fire lanterns, and the head maid who was a second-level 'necromancer' and looked very unpresentable.

At this moment, his mind suddenly became clear, and he immediately figured out a problem and discovered that he had made a misunderstanding.

All along, Xu Shu always felt that he had a great advantage when facing first-level enemies, but if the enemy was second-level, he would have to run away.

This was actually an illusion, because the only second-tier being he had ever fought face-to-face was a "level 36" Tzeentch's Chosen, Majtel.

However, Xu Shu forgot that those who can possess purple-level curse seals or curse crystals/erosion crystals are extremely rare.

In fact, for the same second-level enemy, the relatively common one is the green curse seal, so her level is 14 of the first level + several levels of the second level.

If he had just broken through, then his total level would only be 15.

This level is several levels lower than Xu Shu's first-level curse.

I almost forgot that I have become so powerful!

Thinking of this, Xu Shu suddenly became enlightened and felt full of confidence.

[Now you are eighteen years old, Xu Shu, with a level 21, second-order iron armor. You stand at the door, clenching your fists. You have a better understanding of your own strength, and you can't help but feel full of confidence. You think that although the world is big, there is no place you can't go. ]

[Very good, very good. Only by maintaining this arrogant and complacent attitude can you enjoy a faster and faster life.]

[You didn't say any more nonsense, and sorted out the equipment you were going to bring, especially the 'Corpse Valley Bug', making sure that no important items were forgotten.]

[You did not bring Gu Yueming and Gu Pan with you this time, but instead gathered a group of nuns who were not nuns, and started today's journey. By the way, you asked the head maid what her name was. Her name was Mary Hillanai, a very common name.]

[You know where Su Ji has appeared before. Today's target is Osmanthus Garden, her hometown in the northern wilderness. You will return to your hometown, to Su Ji's side, to take off her clothes, and to weigh her.]

[The journey was relatively peaceful until you got close to your destination, when you actually encountered a few "man-gods" basking in the sun. ]

[A man and a woman were caught by them and violently assaulted and insulted.]

[“How dare you commit adultery in broad daylight? You simply don’t take me seriously!”]

[You acted decisively and killed this group of perverted and cruel "Man-Man". With your power of the second level, you were unstoppable. You harvested five erosion crystals, all of which were first level, four white and one green.]

[The two people who escaped death thanked you profusely. You learned some things from them. It turned out that there was a cave belonging to the "Man-Man" nearby. They got the news and formed a group of six to attack it. However, they were too greedy and did not stop after conquering the first cave, but continued to go deeper.]

[Finally, they unfortunately encountered a larger group of 'Man-Man' last night, and were besieged and almost wiped out. Only two people escaped, and the rest were all killed. ]

[After telling you everything, they supported each other and left. You looked at the trembling and disheartened figure of the girl, and a layer of haze covered your heart. You knew that in places you couldn't see, there were countless cases of human beings being tortured and humiliated, even the extraordinary people were no exception. The situation of human beings is far from being comfortable, so your determination to become stronger has become stronger. ] [Within two hours, you successfully arrived at your old home in Jiangnan, Osmanthus Garden again. ]

[You are extremely cautious when you revisit the old place. You go directly to the place where you killed the group of "man-gods" before. You find that there is not much blood left here, and the bodies of those monsters have been eaten clean by something unknown. ]

[You are fully alert and move forward again, crossing over the leaning and collapsed buildings, and come to the thatched hut that you have reached before in your journey but have not been to in reality. You see the body of a man hanging on the wall, and see the colorful fingers stuck in his throat, but they are all broken; you see a dead woman with broken fingers in the thatched hut.]

[“Strange, was she killed?” You were a little confused, so you asked the nun group behind you: “Is this person your sister?”]

[“No.”, “I don’t know her. I don’t know who she is.”, “I haven’t seen her, Lord Xu.”]

[The nuns answered you in unison, but the answers left you feeling extremely confused.]

"You don't know him? This shouldn't be the case..."

Xu Shu touched his chin and suddenly felt suspicious.

Although two days had passed, he still remembered it very clearly.

At that time, the first person to extend him the "invitation from the owner of Storm Villa" was the woman living in the thatched cottage in the wasteland of the community.

At the same time, her fingers were cut off and inserted into the 'Spider', and she claimed that "If I fail to complete the task, I will also be made into a spider."

In the Storm Manor in the wasteland, the nuns also called Sotost "Master Spider". They all had broken fingers, while Sotost had long fingers.

According to common sense, all of this should be inferred that this woman in the community outside should be the one sent by Suki from Storm Villa within the border to find me.

But it would be fine if the other nuns didn’t recognize her, but why didn’t the head maid Mary recognize her either?
[You are suspicious and puzzled. Mary suddenly reminds you: "Look, sir, there is a treasure chest here. I think there must be something fishy."]

[Under the wooden bed where the woman died, there was indeed a locked wooden box that had never appeared before. It looked dark and very old. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was an 'iron treasure chest'.]

[You looked at Mary deeply, and instead of doing it yourself, you instructed her to open it.]

[Mary did not refuse and chanted a spell for a while. You felt something strange flowing in the air. You were a little surprised. You originally thought that she would just smash it violently, but now it seems that is not the case.]

[After thinking for a moment, you activated the ability "Spiritual Perception" and entered the state of clairvoyance. Now you can see things that you cannot see normally.]

[You saw that under Mary's call, the dead woman on the ground began to glow with an invisible fluorescent light, which then flowed outward like layers of hourglasses, and finally gathered into something that looked like a human figure.]

[Mary gave her an order, and the figure nodded obediently. Then it floated up and floated to the door. It lifted a loose wooden board on the ground, found the key inside, and returned to successfully open the iron lock on the treasure chest.]

[After doing all this, the figure seemed to have exhausted all his strength and disappeared into the wind.]

[“Directly summon the dead on the spot through the dead body? Is this the ability of a necromancer?” You thought to yourself, and saw Mary come forward and open the treasure chest. There was nothing valuable inside, but some clothes.]

[At the bottom of the clothes, there is a book with tiny handwriting on it: "Diary of a Traveling Witch"]

[I opened it and saw that it was a basically blank book. Only the first few pages had a few dates recorded on it, such as 'February 18, 2th year of the new calendar. It was still sunny. I had dinner alone and returned to the cabin. No one was with me. I had no idea about the advancement and I was about to give up. When could I become a transcendent?' I couldn't hold on for a page like this.]

[“My Lord, it seems that there is nothing important.” Mary replied to you somewhat awkwardly. In addition to the diary, she also checked the clothes, which were also very ordinary.]

[You think these things are not worth locking up. Suddenly, your eyes fall on the iron lock and you feel that it has some cracks. You pry it off in front of everyone and find that it can be opened. There is a rolled-up paper hidden inside the iron lock. When you unfold it, you see a different world. It is suddenly a painting.]

[The painting shows a place that looks like a laboratory. Various modern experimental equipment is placed in a disorderly manner, as if no one has sorted them out for a long time. The two largest of them are medical devices that look like MRI chambers. There are two women with curvy, slender and plump figures lying on their own couches. Their heads are inside the space capsule-like equipment and cannot be seen clearly.]

[“Hey, could this be Suki Herrera? One of them has an octopus head and the other has a human head. They were separated through such an experiment?” You recalled the information you got from Suki last night, thinking.]

[However, this information doesn't seem to be useful for the time being. You wait here for a while. Strangely, Octopus Head Su didn't come to your house to cause trouble like he did last time.]

[If the enemy doesn't come, it seems that you can only look for it, but this ruin is so huge, and I don't know if Octopus Head Su is still here. Looking for it blindly is like looking for a needle in a haystack. ]

【Fortunately, this apparently doesn’t bother you. 】

[You took out the mysterious demon book, the so-called "Demon Research Manual" of the Donggu Research Society, and began to chant "Ancestors, please show up soon", while imitating the sound of animals chewing.]

【“?” The nuns all looked at you with question marks on their faces, looking confused. It was obvious that they didn’t know what you were doing. 】

[But you know exactly what you are doing. This book can be used to summon the clone of Octopus Head Su. You have experienced it yourself.]

[Within ten minutes, a strong wind suddenly blew at the scene, and then the Demon Book opened automatically, quickly turning to page 187, on which was a portrait of a tall ghost nun with a hood covering her face.]

[You didn't deliberately avoid the nuns around you, so they all saw this scene. All the nuns close to you gasped at the same time, and you heard someone exclaimed in a low voice: "How could it be the portrait of the master?"]

[This is also true for head maid Mary. The shock in her pupils is real.]

[It seems that they don't know that Suki Herrera is special? You have some guesses based on this.]

[After a while, a hooded nun's head popped out from the book.]

[She shook her head, and her tentacles twisted and squirmed on the edge of her hat. Her two tiny octopus eyes looked around, and she saw a group of nuns who looked similar to her, and saw Xu Shu who was looking at her with a smile.]

[“Hello, ma’am. Yes, it’s me again.” Xu Shu greeted her but did not take any action directly.]

[Octopus Head Su did not make a move. She just looked at Xu Shu and spoke in human language, saying with disgust: "Damn blasphemer, he actually got together with that bitch who betrayed God! You want to be on top with just three corpse bodies? Dream on! Do you really think that you can compete with me with a small corpse worm?"]

[“Wait, don’t rush to scold me, explain it clearly.” Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and found that there was something fishy going on.]
