Apocalypse Forecast

Ten seconds later, Huai Shi sat calmly in the doorway, extinguishing the fire in the stove and pulling his glittering sacrificial knife from the withered corpse.

Ai Qing walked in and marveled at Huai Shi's knife skills.

Huai Shi looked at the passage behind the doorway and casually asked, "Old Liu, what's hidden back there?"

"It should be their fasting circle..." Ai Qing said, but was startled when Huai Shi guessed it was her.

Huai Shi turned to look at her, "I just asked casually. There aren't many people I know who are as sly as you."

The two stared at each other for a while before Liu Dongli moved his gaze away.

"Who are you?" Huai Shi asked.

"As you can see, a prostitution," Liu Dongli shrugged, "also a fourth-class security officer of the Astronomy Society, among other things..."

"What?" Huai Shi was surprised.

"It's a double insurance policy that circumvents regulations," Liu Dongli explained.

"In sensitive areas, the Astronomy Society uses a dual supervision system. One supervisor intervenes in disputes while the other records the facts and conducts secret investigations when necessary... like the case of the Returned Clean People this time. On the one hand, I am Ai Qing's examiner, responsible for verifying whether she can use the power of a supervisor fairly. On the other hand, I am also a bodyguard and fighter. But to avoid deploying Sublimators directly and causing sensitive issues, we have to take a detour, you know?"

"So you've broken the rules?"

"More or less."

"In any case, when this is over, I'm really out. To avoid failing my year-end evaluation, you have to pretend you don't know anything. I've also reported that you were born with divine power but have no martial arts skills. Can we help each other out?"

"If I don't help, will I be silenced?"

"If you don't help, you'll have to return the gift I gave you..."

"I'll help, I'll help!" Huai Shi smiled, "We're like brothers, why do we need to be so formal... I'll give you two sets of Overlord later!"

"... "

Liu Dongli tried hard to resist the urge to kill this little bastard on the spot.

"By the way, did Ai Qing pass her exam?"

"She passed in her first year," Liu Dongli rolled his eyes behind his mask, "if it weren't for the involvement of the Abyssal Hell in the Dark City, I would have left long ago. Why do I have to suffer this punishment?"

"What's the Dark City?"

"Ask Ai Qing later! I've said enough."

Liu Dongli got up and opened the door with the key he found on the guard's clothes. He saw a pile of opened boxes stacked in the corner, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench.

It smelled like decay.After entering here, Huai Shi felt countless scattered source materials gathering towards him, and the bag he used to rob ashes became bulging.

The despair floating in the air almost suffocated him.

The records of death must have drifted out from here.

But to his surprise, there were no guards here at all.

"Why are there so few people?"

Liu Dongli looked around and said in a muffled voice, "It can only prove one thing, they are retreating... Regardless of the peripheral personnel outside, the real high-levels have probably fled, right?"

As he spoke, he walked to the deepest part of the room.

It was like a square.

The abyss sediment floated in the air, emitting a deadly poison that ordinary people could hardly resist.

The ground was engraved with incomprehensible patterns, like a sacrificial scene, even the sacrificial knife in Huai Shi's arms began to tremble excitedly.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

Huai Shi stepped into it, and besides the high platform in the center of the room covered in bloodstains, there were only huge mirrors around. Each one was the size of a mall entrance, standing upright in the huge square, with a complex and intricate appearance.

But although they were clearly mirrors, they did not reflect the figures of the two people, which looked extremely eerie.

"This is the Fasting Circle."

Liu Dongli's voice could not be heard with any emotion, "The purified people use it to raise the border species in the realm. Have you seen those mirrors? They are actually cages blessed after the ceremony, leading to individual hells called Mirror Realms."

They bring the border species back from hell through the mirrors, raise them in the Mirror Realms, and ultimately obtain obedient predators through blood and flesh feeding. Now, all the cages are empty."

Bang!

A shadow curled up in the corner seemed to kick something over. Sensing their gaze, he turned around and stumbled to escape, but was pressed down by Huai Shi.

"Spare me! Spare me!"

The fat man lay on the ground, trembling, "I don't know anything! Really! I'm just in charge of burning the boiler! I don't know anything... "

He had several gold chains of different styles hanging around his neck, bracelets with various gold or jade stones on his arms, and even his ten fingers were full of various rings.

But although he was covered in various jewels, even his shoes looked like high-end handicrafts, he still looked like a thief, and couldn't match the expensive jewelry on his body.

Being pressed down by Huai Shi, he trembled, and even emitted a stinky smell under him, having already urinated.

"I really don't know anything, I can only burn the boiler, their actions have nothing to do with me. I also want to live, spare me, spare me..."

Huai Shi frowned, preparing to ask questions, but noticed that Liu Dongli patted his shoulder and pointed forward.

There was a small door there.

"Don't...don't touch my family..."

The fat man widened his eyes and struggled desperately, "If you have anything, come at me, come at me! They are innocent, don't touch my wife and daughter, please, please..."

Liu Dongli didn't say anything, he stepped forward and kicked the door open.

Revealing a narrow space behind it.The first thing that catches the eye is a huge boiler, flames dancing inside, thick smoke rising up the chimney, making it unbearable hot.

But inside the open furnace, besides the carbon and coal that have turned red, there are several lumps of charred limbs that are almost burned to ashes.

When Huai Shi's gaze moved away, he saw luxury goods, luxury goods, luxury goods...

All kinds of luxury goods almost filled every corner.

Expensive suits cut open as bed sheets, brand-name bags stuffed with pots and pans, expensive watches, necklaces, bracelets hanging on the wall, stacked wallets...

Only in the corner was a dirty bed, with an inflatable doll covered in tape lying on it, and two Barbie dolls next to it, dressed up exquisitely and cutely.

The fat man screamed, struggling hard, broke free from Huai Shi's pull, stood up, and crawled onto the bed with his hands and feet, holding the inflatable doll and the dolls in his arms, crying and begging for mercy.

Huai Shi wanted to ask something, but he couldn't say a word.

Only Liu Dongli walked up, rolled up his sleeves, pulled up the fat man, asked him repeatedly, even using his own abilities. After a long time, he let go of the fat man in frustration and threw him on the ground.

"It's useless, he's already insane."

Liu Dongli lit a cigarette irritably, "Damn it, nothing good comes out of dealing with these lunatics."

"Then let's go, isn't there another fork in the road?"

Huai Shi couldn't take it anymore, turned around and wanted to leave... but he accidentally saw the fat man's finger, to be precise, the index finger of his right hand.

Then he froze in place.

Liu Dongli, who was walking in front, noticed that he didn't follow, turned around puzzledly, "Let's go, what's wrong?"

"You... go ahead first."

Huai Shi was silent for a long time, "I have something to do, I'll catch up with you later."

Liu Dongli looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was thinking, wanted to ask, but when he saw the boy's pupils, he couldn't ask.

He had never seen such a calm expression on Huai Shi's face before.

A calmness that made people uncomfortable.

It was like something terrifying was hidden behind that outer shell.

"I'll be at the door."

Liu Dongli turned around and left.

In silence, Huai Shi listened to his footsteps fading away, walked into the incinerator, and gently closed the door.

"That ring..."

He looked down at the fat man's index finger, looked at the platinum ring embedded with broken diamonds, "Where did you get that ring?"

"I don't know what you're talking about..." The crazy man looked at him in confusion, subconsciously hiding his right hand behind him, dodging backward, "I found it, I found everything!"

Bang!

His head hit the wall, squeezed his inflatable wife, his fat face almost deformed, twisted into a strange shape.

"I'm asking you--"

Huai Shi lowered his head, looked into his eyes, and asked word by word, "Where did you get that ring from?"

In the violent collision, the crazy man screamed incoherently, "I don't know, I don't know anything... I'm just a boiler burner, spare me... spare me..."

Huai Shi closed his eyes.

His palm covered the crazy man's mouth.When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with bloodshot madness. Immediately after, the pitch-black ashes of disaster emerged from his palm and poured into his body.

For the last time, he bent down and stared at the madman's face, "Where did you get the ring?"

The man's eyes widened, tears streaming down his face. He opened his mouth to scream but could not make a sound until Huai Shi picked up his two "daughters" that had fallen to the ground, crushing them one by one.

Right before his eyes.

"I don't know! I really don't know!"

The man finally broke down, sobbing loudly, "Why did you kill them? Why? I was just honestly working on the furnace! Those things, those things... they all said they were useless... I just wanted... just wanted to give them some gifts..."

Huai Shi released his hand.

The madman pounced on him like a lunatic, trying to strangle his neck, but was kicked away by Huai Shi. In the end, he curled up in the corner, holding the wreckage of the dolls, desperately sobbing.

"I'm sorry."

Huai Shi lowered his eyes, walked over, grabbed his hand, and brutally pulled off the ring. He turned around and left.

The door closed behind him.

"Are you alright?"

Liu Dongli, who was smoking in the corner, asked.

"Very good," Huai Shi looked at the ring in his palm and put it in his pocket.

He said, "Couldn't be better."

Boom!

In that instant, a violent explosion suddenly came from the upper floor, shaking the ground and the mountains. Countless fragments peeled off from the dome and fell, crushing the empty mirror into pieces.
