Anywhere Express Company.

Inside the hall.

Chu He and others hid on one side, watching an unforgettable, bizarre spectacle.

Zhong Shenxiu, alone with an umbrella, seemed to be battling the entire building invisibly.

"There's no use, even if we can destroy the company, the moment we entered, our bodies were cursed... As soon as we violate the company's regulations, death will ensue immediately," Chu He silently thought to himself.

He felt the surrounding environment suddenly turn grim.

The countless lights in the hall flickered erratically, as if they were poorly connected.

Zhong Shenxiu touched his brow, feeling a sharp pain in his temples.

It was a death premonition alerting him!

On him, or rather on Gui Yi's body, there indeed existed the curse of the Anywhere Express Company!

At this moment, the entire building seemed to be cursing him!

"Hehe..."

Zhong Shenxiu sneered, raising his hand to release the catch of the black umbrella.

Bang!

The black umbrella opened, revealing a profound shadow that enveloped his entire body.

This cursed object was one of the most powerful among the cursed objects from the Clement Kingdom, of extremely high status.

Before, Zhong Shenxiu had not unlocked its seal, merely using the convenience brought by its high status.

But now, he was using the true power of this cursed object!

This shadow was an absolute defense that even the former him could not shake!

Enveloped by the shadow, Zhong Shenxiu sensed strands of an inexplicable substance being expelled from his original body.

That was the curse from Gui Yi's body.

Crackling!

Inside the hall, countless glasses shattered, as if a tornado had arisen.

The doors and windows slammed shut abruptly, plunging the surroundings into complete darkness.

In the darkness, countless pale arms seemed to reach out from the shadows, from the void, from the ground, grabbing at Zhong Shenxiu.

But they hadn't even gotten close before they were dissolved by the shadow beneath the black umbrella!

"Is that... Gui?"

"Countless Gui?"

Zong Sheng and others had completely lost the ability to move, feeling every inch of their bodies trembling.

Each of those palms could easily kill them countless times! Chasing them in tasks, leaving no way to heaven and no door to earth, only by betraying teammates and a bit of luck could they save their lives.

And now, the endless Gui could not disturb the figure holding the umbrella!

This scene was etched deeply into their hearts like a painting.

Zhong Shenxiu took a step forward, the umbrella tip lightly tracing.

Ahead, countless agonizing voices arose.

In an instant, a dozen phantoms shattered, wisps of ash falling down.

Behind them, on the walls of the hall, a profound crack suddenly appeared, like a crevice from Hell, exuding an ominous aura and flowing with illusory, cursed blood...

This 'Ominous Umbrella,' 'Umbrella of Destruction,' once its seal was released, the tip of the umbrella had the power to destroy anything it touched.

And its status was clearly higher than that of the building!

Even... much higher!

Next instant.

The darkness dissipated, countless figures and palms vanished into thin air.

The hall returned to normal, leaving only that huge crack and the figure of Zhong Shenxiu with his umbrella.

Drip drip!

In the deathly silent air, a text message alert sounded.

Zhong Shenxiu opened it and read with a somewhat strange expression:

[Dismissal Notice!]

[For severe violation of company regulations, this employee is hereby dismissed and will not be rehired!]

...

"What?"

Chu He widened his eyes, "That company, like a demon, it has backed down? It has retreated? How is that possible?"

"Big brother!"

Han Bingjie's eyes were brimming with hot tears, "Big brother, once brothers, always brothers, if you leave, remember to take me with you!"

Zong Sheng, along with Lin Xin and Murong Hong, were so agitated and jealous they nearly went insane.

They had been tormented by this nightmare for so long, and this was the first time they saw a real hope of leaving!

If possible, they would have already stepped forward, begging in every way, offering any price to have Zhong Shenxiu take them away too.

Unfortunately, they were so excited that they couldn't even speak.

"Chase me away?"

"The end of an armed wage claim is termination, you really are the epitome of a ruthless boss! Doesn't your company have a conscience?"

After reading the message, Zhong Shenxiu retorted, "I'm not leaving! I'll stick around here, not complete any tasks, nor let others complete theirs, they want me to leave, no way!"

He actually loved it here.

After all, the benefits were great, they provided food, accommodation, even money, and although there were no ladies with extremely pleasant voices, he could go out every now and then to study curious objects.

Where else could he go to make a living if he left here?

"You crappy company, dreaming of firing me!"

He took another step forward, with a dark reverse erosion surrounding the space.

The whole building seemed to tremble, struggle, and wail...

Under the numb gaze of Chu He and others, Zhong Shenxiu's phone rang again:

[Transfer notice!]

[Courier Gui Yi, outstanding in his job, is hereby transferred to be the doorman, also part-time security, with a monthly salary of one hundred thousand, excellent benefits!]

It proved that as long as you are strong enough, the company can disregard its image.

"This is good, but, they won't let me make deliveries anymore? Because I'm too strong and they fear that I would eliminate those anomalies one by one?"

Zhong Shenxiu stroked his chin, "I want staff housing! The best kind!"

Crackle!

On the first floor of the building, in the original reception hall, numerous floorboards moved back, a brand new room was created by an invisible force, and a nameplate hung on the door with the wonky words 'Doorman Room'.

Zhong Shenxiu grasped the doorknob, opened it to see the space inside was infinitely vast, resplendent as the Imperial Palace.

"Okay, I'll accept this compensation!"

"I didn't really want to deal with anomalies, having a place to cultivate peacefully is not bad."

He entered the doorman's room, closed the door, then closed the umbrella, cut open his palm, and smeared the blood on the umbrella surface.

Watching the blood quickly absorbed by the umbrella, he nodded to himself.

This was the method to seal the "Ominous Umbrella", and it had to be completed.

Otherwise, very terrifying adverse effects would appear.

The last time, that western strongman suffered from the adverse effects for not completing the seal, and while in such misfortune, was ambushed by Zhong Shenxiu, dying a very pitiful death.

...

Outside the doorman's room.

"Was... was I dreaming just now?"

Han Bingjie muttered blankly.

"A guard room as big as this appearing out of nowhere, could it be fake? Gui Yi, I'm your old buddy, we used to go on missions together..."

Zong Sheng immediately rushed forward, knocking and twisting the doorknob, trying to see Gui Yi once more, willing to cry and beg, he had to cling to those coattails...

Unfortunately, these attempts were futile, even with a cannon, he probably couldn't shake this luxurious guardroom in the slightest.

"This really... is like a fantasy!"

Chu He didn't try, instead, he walked to the wall, staring at a crack that seemed impossible to erase, muttering to himself.

The next second, a huge oil painting emerged, directly covering that scar.

The carpet extended, similarly covering the spots previously touched by the umbrella tip.

"This..."

Chu He stood there, stupefied.
