Chapter 1031: 1029: Unknown Shadows
After placing the sleeping Lene on the sofa, Aunt i imdiately sniffed the air for any strange odors, her initial excitent quickly replaced by unease.
"That guy was here?"
"Yes, Lao Da was here~ But he wasn’t looking for you, Aunt i."
Aunt i also showed a rare flustered expression, revealing her fear of that presence, indicating that despite both being disasters, there was a significant difference.
"What did he want from you? Is it about the private eting?"
"No~ We just ca to buy dumplings from you, no eting, just a task assigned to . After all, as a newly appointed disaster, I have no external manifestations yet, so they want to test my ability."
"God Killer?"
"Don’t know yet, but they said a secret group is reverse invading us over here and asked
to deal with it.
Aunt i, you want to co? Together we’ll be more efficient~"
"The embryonic form of the palace has just been set up, I need at least a month at ho to recuperate, no ti to play with you... Besides, with you two, even the Supre God is no match."
"What a pity, I thought we could travel together~ Since everything is going smoothly, can you deliver the goods, Aunt i?"
Aunt i didn’t respond verbally, instead she stepped forward.
Splash! A torrent of foul blood and filth poured onto the ground, as if purging specific waste from the body, or like opening a secret passageway to the depths within.
This sight made Yi Chen quite uncomfortable, and he glanced away.
When the pile of filth on the ground reached half a ter high, a third hand unexpectedly extended from her skirt, the palm clutching a dumpling resembling a red jade.
Seeing this, William imdiately took out a prepared storage box, knelt on one knee, and caught it steadily.
A gentle halo filled the room,
this scene seed to be receiving divine favor.
The life force and malice released from this dumpling alone even shrouded the entire food street with a blood-like film, awakening the deepest evil within them.
When the dumpling was separated from Aunt i’s body, she appeared slightly weak.
"Thank you, Aunt i, go rest now! I’ll clean up before I leave."
"Mm."
William helped Aunt i back to her room, then used the Power of the Abyss to absorb all the filth on the ground.
Yi Chen, anwhile, had already carried the unconscious Lene back to the hotel ahead of ti, knowing no one would disturb them there, making recovery much quicker. ????????????S
With ti being tight, William rushed to the hotel right away.
He held a docunt in his hand, which was the task assigned by the First Disaster.
In the lobby
The docunt spread out on the table, clearly highlighting the region of the mysterious group on the plane, still far from the deepest [City of Evil], but a relatively deep location nonetheless.
Any group able to reach such a depth without exposure is definitely not simple.
William also wore a worried face, unable to ascertain what kind of group would suddenly delve to such a degree.
If dealing with the Supre God would be troubleso, matters worsen with a few Plague Masters added to the mix.
"A task delivered personally by Lao Da~ If not handled well, my hard-earned disaster identity could be affected... Really~ I thought the stage was all set, and now I have holes knocked in it.
Let Lene have a good rest;
let’s set out now."
"You’re not resting?" Yi Chen could tell William’s fatigue was not feigned.
"We only have three days, no ti to rest~ I’ll eat instant noodles on the road and use fragnted ti for half-sleep.
But..."
As William’s gaze was about to glance towards the manager behind the counter, the other imdiately spoke, "I’m busy." .
"Alright then, Mr. Yi, let’s go."
William stood up but had only taken two steps when he stumbled and fell to the ground.
However, Yi Chen, present, offered no reaction, slowly sipping tea and casting an eye at the unmoving William on the ground, inclined to believe it was an act.
The manager was the sa, not even glancing, focused solely on recording the accounts.
Yet a full half-hour passed, and William remained motionless on the ground, his breath alarmingly thin as Yi Chen could sense it.
Yi Chen knew well that William couldn’t endure loneliness, lying on the ground so long should have driven him into madness, sothing indeed seed wrong.
Just as he stood up, reaching out to help William,
Plop!
A glob of sticky saliva landed on Yi Chen’s shoulder as the supported William slowly opened his eyes.
"Ah~ Oh! I fell asleep... Did my brain’s automatic compulsory sleep mode kick in due to fatigue? So comfortable, it’s been a long ti since I slept so free of worries.
By the way, I hope I didn’t delay too long?"
Yi Chen moved away in disdain and cleaned the thick phlegm off his shoulder.
"Half an hour."
"Oh no~ wasted another half-hour, we need to set off imdiately!"
As the two were about to exit the hotel, the elevator opened, and a familiar voice erged, "Where are you going?"
"Oh? Lene, you’re awake too? Co on, co on, we’re heading out for so fun."
William did not mind bringing Lene along,
and he could sense that Lene underwent so subtle changes after interacting with Aunt i.
This ti, leaving the [City of Evil], they no longer needed to sneak around, as William, being a disaster, enjoyed high-level privileges, including "Plane Movent."
With the entire lower plane invaded by malice, everything was like being soaked in a malicious swamp.
Unlike the gods who establish teleportation gates across worlds,
the highest disasters could achieve seamless traversal through the malice filling the gaps between planes, which is why the manager could previously transport the hotel to a world near the Main Material Plane, compelling Yi Chen to check-in.
Yet when William drew the transmission array, attempting to link with the destination world, it failed repeatedly.
"The world is sealed? Who’s so formidable~ This ans we’ll have to reach it from the nearest world."
They took the Abyss Transmission through the abdon to the adjacent world, and through the most primitive plane transcendence, they finally reached the world suspected to be occupied by the mysterious group, after several hours.
"What is this?"
The world before them had 2/3 enshrouded in shadow, with even the most basic hues erased.
Even a world maliciously invaded wouldn’t result in this.
It gave the feeling that once the shadow engulfed the entire world, the world could be erased from planes.
To ensure safety, the three temporarily landed in an area not yet covered by shadow, descending onto the street of a large city.
The entire street was cold and quiet, imbued with an air of foreboding panic, utterly unlike any malicious world they had visited before.
As Yi Chen prepared to casually grab soone for information, a poster fluttered by on the wind,
though only glimpsed, Yi Chen suddenly widened his eyes.
"...Circus."
