Lord Shenxiu

Chapter 654: Self-Examination (Requesting Monthly Pass)


"Once the Ghost Immortal Reincarnation Skill reaches the third layer, there are benefits... that is, one can borrow power from their true form, various Divine Skills, slowly being restored..."

"Of course, this will certainly carry some contamination, but as long as one's rationality is sufficient, there is nothing to fear."

As for the sources of rationality value, naturally, one has to snatch it from those Guai.

"Hmm, the Gate of Wan has also opened, what a pity I can't go back right now."

"This world is still quite suitable for my cultivation."

Once the Ghost Immortal Reincarnation Skill is cultivated to the third layer, those Deceit Techniques are indispensable, and those are just the most ordinary Guai at that.

Zhong Shenxiu had yet to feast on a major Guai, which must be exceptionally delicious.

"Who knows how much rationality value harvested from major Guai could aid my cultivation? The further one goes with the Ghost Immortal Reincarnation Skill, the more difficult it becomes..."

"After the third layer, one can begin to collect some wishes or anchors, which is... to spread the respected name of Lord Shenxiu..."

"It feels faster than directly consuming Guai though."

"Hmm... when did I become such an overpowering and domineering person? How could I just consume Guai directly? I should figure out the methods Guai use to harvest and store rationality, and then scale it, group it, industrialize it... That is the fastest path to harvesting."

"I wonder if that Shepherd would hit me for this?"

"Considering I've been jumping around for so long without him coming out to smack me, either He's not in this world, or He's asleep... Well, all in all, it's quite exciting!"

Zhong Shenxiu reflected on his recent actions and was quite satisfied with them.

Then, he took out his phone and began to make a call.

"Mr. Gui Yi, hello, this is Angel."

On the other end, the call was quickly answered by Secretary Angel.

"Working so diligently in the middle of the night, Ms. Angel is really professional."

Zhong Shenxiu's lips curled into a slight smile as he began a friendly exchange with Angel.

Then he got to the point: "In the Foundation's records, is there any mention of a Guai that takes the form of a live streaming room..."

After describing the characteristics of the bizarre live streaming room, especially the mention of a group of hosts being controlled by it, Zhong Shenxiu heard Angel's breathing change on the other end: "No! Our Foundation has no record of this Guai... and it's dangerous! Based on Mr. Gui Yi's description, it could be on the level of a major Guai, please be extremely careful."

Major Guai level!

That represents absolute horror and despair.

For example... Deceit City!

And for another example, the biggest reliance of the Foundation, the power source of the Deceit Masters, is just a single major Guai.

In other words, the entire Foundation is nothing but a pitiful creature parasitized by a major Guai!

"I understand."

Zhong Shenxiu said a few more words, instructing Angel to gather information, then hung up the phone with a sigh.

The humans of this world are truly in despair...

"At a time like this, what's needed is for heroes of justice to make their appearance."

"The legend of the Exorcist Cab drivers will become a new urban tale, no, an urban hero!"

"It's quite reasonable for a gatekeeper to change careers and become a cab driver!"

"After the Guai here have been dealt with, it'll be time for a road trip..."

"Eh? My thoughts seem to still be quite erratic, I've clearly cultivated up to the third layer already... or is it... this is my true nature?"

Zhong Shenxiu seemed to think of something, stretched out his hands, and slowly, ever so slowly, covered his face...

...

Foundation.

Branch.

Inside a double dormitory room.

"Ah, so boring..."

Wan Xiaolou lay on the bed and complained, "For the sealed training, they even took away our cellphones... What about all my adorable little brothers and sisters..."

"It's the middle of the night, aren't you going to sleep?"

Next to her, Wen Wanqing turned over, irritated by the noise: "Tomorrow we have cross-country and firearms training... Remember, we've signed contracts to become interns at the Foundation. There's no backing out now."

"Of course I know..."

Wan Xiaolou's voice suddenly deepened.

Since that day they encountered the Gui Yi, they had been taken in by the Foundation as peripheral members, and they needed to go through training and an internship period before they could officially start working.

As for school?

At a time like this, go to school?

But the Foundation was quite conscientious in this regard, taking care of their paperwork so they wouldn't have any issues, even if they were absent the whole time, and they would automatically receive their graduation certificates when the time came.

In addition to that, Wan Xiaolou's father had been dealt with.

That very capable and wealthy tycoon had no say in this matter at all, which only made Wan Xiaolou realize the terrifying extent of the Foundation's reach.

Therefore, she was only complaining a bit; as for actually rebelling, she didn't dare.

Just then, a grating alarm sounded.

Red warning lights went on in the corridors and along the passageways one after another.

"Emergency assembly at night!"

Wan Xiaolou and Wen Wanqing were startled, then they quickly dressed and ran to gather in a large hall.

Inside the hall, fifty-six people, each with a capable demeanor, had already gathered into formations.

A man with a scar on his face, privately called Scar Brother by the trainees, wore a black T-shirt and looked at each person with a stern expression: "This assembly, you did well and deserve encouragement and praise... Pah! You think I'd say that? Let me tell you, you're not fit at all!"

"We are facing things completely beyond human comprehension, the ultimate terror!"

"I demand that you not only reach the passing line but also strive to do better, best even! Do you understand?"

By the end, Scar Brother's voice was even causing a pain in everyone's eardrum.

"Understood!"

Wen Wanqing and Wan Xiaolou could only shout at the top of their lungs.

"Even the administrative staff need training, because you never know when you'll encounter horror... The training you receive now is the hope of your future survival."

Scar Brother scolded them a few more sentences, then said, "There's also a routine inspection tonight; first, you need to fill out a questionnaire..."

'Strange, Scar Brother usually lectures us for at least half an hour...'

Wan Xiaolou found it odd in her mind, and upon seeing the questions on the questionnaire, her eyes widened even further.

"Question one, do you often watch live streams?"

"Question two, do you like watching supernatural adventure programs?"

...

Wen Wanqing and Wan Xiaolou exchanged glances, both with a grave look in their eyes.

The cultural lessons during this period had made them aware that Gui Yi were very terrifying, capable of hiding in any detail of life.

Combining this sudden self-examination by the Foundation, it seemed they could draw a chilling conclusion.

'Is there a Gui Yi hiding in a live stream?'

'It's too scary, too scary.'

'If it was just one broadcaster, it might be alright, but if it's something else, that's simply...'

Thinking about the speed of internet dissemination today, Wan Xiaolou couldn't help feeling desperate.

But in fact, her despair was quite superfluous.

This world is a vast pasture, and neither shepherds nor sheepdogs can significantly plunder the property of the pasture owner.

This is the safeguard that keeps human society from collapsing!
