"Today’s harvest is enough, we can head back directly."

The officer revealed a cold smile, looking at those who had been escorted, thinking it was quite a nice task, easy and with decent pay.

"I’ve heard the Black Sea warfare is extremely unfavorable, millions have already died... Watch what you say, it’d be troublesome if you’re dispatched there."

He lowered his voice to remind the adjutant behind him.

The adjutant straightened his face after hearing and said, "Are we going to deploy some people over there too?"

The officer smiled without speaking, revealing a meaningful look, with inconspicuous scales emerging around his neck.

Afterward, he walked over and grabbed the middle-aged man’s shoulder, laughing as he said, "What’s your name? Or perhaps your code name?"

The middle-aged man remained calm, "Guo Fengyan."

The officer glared at this weak human, questioning, "What special item do you have that’s worth us specifically capturing you? Quite strange."

Guo Fengyan immediately thought of the Doomsday Game but still responded with a face full of confusion, "What item? Specifically what? I’m not sure either."

Instinctively, he felt he shouldn’t reveal too much information, as it would be bad for him regardless.

Information itself holds value, even if selling it, it should fetch a good price.

Once foreigners gained too much information, they might face severe consequences.

The officer shoved him to the ground with his heavy palm, kicking his abdomen viciously, "Playing dumb? Want to die? Killing you, so what."

Guo Fengyan leaned his head back and looked at him, still saying nothing, he could speak, but the words caught in his throat, filled with indignation.

There were still quite a few ordinary people in Donglin City, living under Wizards’ rule, but it’s not as bad as imagined.

Because the city’s monsters were largely cleared, their living conditions were better, with quite a few players blending in for survival.

If life can be better, being ruled by others, so what.

This was some people’s thought, although hard to say right or wrong, Guo Fengyan didn’t agree, gradually realizing the importance of certain things.

They were a world with permanent civilization, should not, and could not be so despicable.

"I know, sir, I know, I can tell you."

The young man with broken glasses suddenly stepped forward, shouted, with bloodshot eyes and a look full of eagerness.

"Oh, you know?"

The officer showed a warm intention and cold smile.

The young man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I know, I can tell you anything you want to know."

The officer glanced around and said, "Hmm, come over and tell me privately, so they won’t know what you said."

The officer took the young man aside.

······

Su Changxing came to the scene of Chu Caiming’s death, with silver-white bone spikes stuck in the ground, emitting a faint glow, chilling.

"Is this the scent of death? Quite extraordinary······"

He checked around but found nothing special, cleaned thoroughly, only some debris remained.

"If you had taken a step back, you wouldn’t have died here, what a pity."

Su Changxing took a deep breath, thinking about how Chenxi in Donglin City suffered great losses in this battle, which was significant for them, many elite players belonged to Chenxi.

[Obtained high-tier mysterious item, Butcher’s Eye (Rank B Crown, Middle Rank)]

A dark eyeball with crimson pupils appeared in his hand, crystallized like a gemstone.

[Butcher’s Eye: "Bloody Hand Butcher" Klein’s eye dug out in madness, carrying deep desire and abyss, capable of dragging one into the Abyss.]

Klein?

Su Changxing puzzled, if this was Klein’s eye, then who was he before, or maybe the real Klein was not dead?

He stared at the eyeball, breathing became urgent, intuitively feeling it belonged to him, sensing a thread of inherent connection, as if it was part of his body.

"What is going on?"

He felt a twinge of panic, seeing a part of himself yet remaining unfazed, holding the eyeball as rows of dark light radiated.

Timing Prediction······

Rows of light beams scattered across the sky, dazzling and warm, a figure hovering in mid-air, soft white wings stretching, golden shiny armor, slender silver straight sword raised high by both hands.

"I shall represent this world to judge you!"

The face beneath the armor stayed unseen, only a pair of holy, pure eyes revealed.

······

Waves of pain from the eye.

Su Changxing kneeled on the ground, blood streaming from his eye sockets, unsure what it meant, the reward from the Doomsday Game surprisingly related to Klein.

"No, no, something I don’t know happened to Klein, but before he should be ordinary, just a murderer with extraordinary power."

[Obtained ability, Blood Extraction]

[Blood Extraction (Rank C Crown, Upper Rank): Able to control the blood flow of oneself, also control others’ blood flow to some extent by touch.]

[Special Mental Enhancement, +1 Spirit]

[Special Mental Enhancement, +1 Spirit]

[Special Mental Enhancement, +1 Spirit]

······

[Spirit: 36]

Su Changxing felt his brain buzzing, as if the soul had become heavier, accompanying clear changes in the body.

The effect of special enhancement was even more dramatic than expected, a fixed attribute increase, but with his Spiritual Power breaking thirty, even a slight attribute meant a huge leap.

·····"

Those watchtowers were scattered across the wilderness, but they hardly affected him and he could easily avoid them.

Da da da~

The sound came from the front.

The clashing sounds of armor.

Hundreds of wizard world soldiers, with blue eagles emblazoned on their chests.

"Who are they?"

Su Changxing was puzzled. Logically, in this area between the two cities, it shouldn’t have such a large movement of soldiers.

"It seems they came from the direction of West Bridge."

He immediately hid himself, silently passing through the bushes, brushing past them.

But not long after he encountered another troop of soldiers, structured similarly, about a hundred people as well.

What do they want?

Su Changxing thought that these soldiers must have just been transferred from the wizard world; they were making a big move because the war with the Black Fog World should still be ongoing.

"Anyway, for the wizard world, winning the war is most important, and all their actions will revolve around the war..."

He had some guesses on what these wizards wanted to do, but without key information, it was hard to be sure.

Twelve o’clock.

Several bright beams rose in the distance, marking the portal to the Doomsday Shop, likely a player stronghold.

He arrived at a Doomsday Shop location—it was a dilapidated small town, dark at night, with many large "cockroaches" lying dead in the streets.

These "cockroaches" had structures similar to cockroaches, but were undoubtedly different species.

"Zhi zhi zhi~"

An "cockroach" with its head detached, but its life force was tenacious, its wings flapping struggling on the ground, orange-yellow blood spurting out.

Nearby, many similar "cockroaches" crawled out of the ruins or watched him from the shadows like a pack of wolves, showing signs of a team-conscious species.

"What? Do you have ideas about me?"

Su Changxing smiled, tossing the scythe in front of him, disappearing as a phantom in space.

Then came a fierce wind, slicing a cockroach into two, its shell smoothly severed, life silently fading.

The "cockroaches" were puzzled by what happened, why their companions were dying one by one, and started scattering like insects.

Golden light, like that of dusk, refracted in the surrounding space, naturally slowing the speed of "cockroaches".

While walking, Su Changxing shot them down with the Silent Spear, and within ten minutes, the ground was littered with monster corpses, and no other creatures dared approach.

This was like the jungle rule, where weaker beasts always evade the stronger ones.

Su Changxing was indeed the strongest monster there.

He continued toward the light, the place seeming like a dead city, with no survivors—only monsters inhabiting it.

"No one?"

Su Changxing reached near the Doomsday Shop but didn’t sense any other humans, only a few mutilated corpses on the ground being gnawed by some "cockroaches."

As they sensed movement, they fled.

The "cockroaches" weren’t very aggressive.

"A battle, was it the wizard world’s people?"

He checked the items in the Doomsday Shop, finding that many had been exchanged and most remaining things were of little use.

Is there someone?

He felt the weight of a gaze on his skin.

Su Changxing disappeared from his spot, reappearing in a nearby blue building room, aiming his gun at the forehead of a young man in a bulletproof vest.

"What are you doing here?" He scrutinized the person, speaking slowly.

The young man’s heart pounded, terror spreading across his face.

"I... I..."

The young man faltered, his lips trembling involuntarily.

Su Changxing realized his reaction, easing his aura and smiling slightly, saying, "I’m from the Security Bureau, just arrived here, and wanted to know what’s going on?"

Hearing this, the young man obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I thought you were one of those people from the Otherworld... Just now, our outpost was raided by Hound soldiers, most killed or captured."

Su Changxing put away his gun, asked, "Hmm? How did you survive, and still dare to come check?"

The young man stood up from the ground, saying, "We were out collecting supplies, luckily avoiding the disaster."

Su Changxing nodded, saying, "So, you have others? Where are they?"

"Well..."

Hesitation appeared on the young man’s face. He wasn’t stupid; the other person’s identity was suspicious. If harboring ill intent, revealing his companion’s whereabouts could lead to their downfall.

And this person was extremely frightening!

Indeed, that was his first impression, as if facing something terrifying, not a human.

"Not bad, maintaining vigilance." Su Changxing praised, patting his shoulder:

"Are you a player?"

The young man paused before replying, "No, my name is Ge Yunhua; originally from Lan’an Town, I joined Leader Guo after he arrived."

"Leader Guo?"

"Guo Fengyan."
