Absolute Gate

Chapter 31 The Gods Are Really Dogs
The following day, they met the mad vampire in a private room at the bar.

He was dressed casually, tall and burly, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, and swaggered into the doorway of Wu Zhong and the others' private room.

Of course, he didn't recognize Wujinxia. Standing outside the door, he counted to the side, repeatedly confirming which private room was to the right after entering.

"Stop counting." Endless Summer grabbed a bottle and threw it at his face, the air whistling through the air!
The man swiftly sidestepped and caught it in mid-air.

"Boom!"

With a flick of his thumb, he flipped the bottle cap off and downed the entire bottle in one gulp.

"New skin? Not bad, it's way cooler than you in real life."

The man came in, closed the door behind him, plopped down next to Endless Summer, and placed the empty bottle of liquor in the center of the table.

"Looks relaxed, huh? What kind of trouble did you get into? And you can still drink?"

Wu Jinxia chuckled: "If you help me, I won't panic."

He pointed at Wu Zhong: "Let me introduce you, this is my brother, Xiao Wu."

"Xiao Wu, call him Master Luo."

Wu Zhong hurriedly addressed him as Master Luo and poured him a drink.

Master Luo immediately stopped them: "Wait! You're Wu Dong?"

Wu Zhong was astonished. Wu... Dong? Only half of his name was left?

He then realized that the 985 university might have been hiding his real name.

Wu Jinxia frowned: "He is indeed Wu Dong. What's wrong? Do you know him?"

Master Luo looked at Wu Zhong with great interest: "This is the first time I've met him, but I've already heard of him."

"This young Wu can command ghosts and gods, he broke through the Lushan base, caused chaos at the Five Old Peaks, and even Lu Guangqi was defeated by him..."

"Everyone in the industry is saying that a super rookie has emerged, and he's been nicknamed 'Master of Gods and Demons'."

Wu Jinxia was stunned, Yang Chunsha was dumbfounded, and Wu Zhongjiu spilled his wine.

What the hell? He can command ghosts and gods? He's being hunted by ghosts and gods! He's completely defying the natural order!

Endless Summer asked blankly, "When did this happen?"

Master Luo raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it just about the 18th?"

"You were captured alive by Lu Guangqi, but you managed to escape thanks to this young Wu who summoned ghosts and gods, severely injuring Lu Guangqi?"

"Otherwise, do you think you can defeat Lu Guangqi and escape from him?"

Wu Jinxia's lips twitched; of course, he couldn't beat Lu Guangqi.

But it would be very easy for him to run away.

It was clearly him who helped Wu Zhong escape. It's normal for people in the circle not to know the truth, but how did it get spread like this?
"Did 985 say that?" Endless Summer narrowed her eyes slightly.

Master Luo shook his head: "How could those guys expose their own shortcomings? The news has been blocked, and they haven't mentioned a word about the Lushan incident."

"But as you know, the information about Lushan on the platform is being copied very frequently."

"After you were the first to upload the intelligence and escape unscathed, many mercenaries couldn't resist and flocked up the mountain."

"Some of them were arrested, while others successfully smuggled out intelligence. 985 was also in a state of chaos and couldn't prevent it. In the end, the deeds of this newcomer were exposed."

Wu was speechless. What the hell was this exposure?

Isn't this pure fabrication?
"Uploading intelligence doesn't require evidence?"

Master Luo picked up a bottle of wine and examined him: "How can there be no evidence? The ghosts and gods said it themselves, someone secretly recorded Lu Guangqi's conversation with that person."

"Who was that again? Xia Heng, the dragon-headed monster you mentioned in the intelligence you uploaded... tug tug tug..."

Master Luo immediately downed a bottle of wine.

Endless Summer said with a stern face: "Divine Planner."

Master Luo arranged the wine bottles neatly: "That's right, Ji Meng, it seems like the people from 985 are negotiating something with them, and then Ji Meng mentioned Xiao Wu's deeds in a few words, respectfully referring to him as 'Master'."

Wu Zhong's eyes widened. It wasn't a mercenary, but a ghost or god speaking directly? And calling him Master?

Are the ghosts and spirits crazy? Are they acting like drama queens too?

Master Luo continued, "Only now do people in the circle understand what the ghost and god mark you mentioned three days ago meant. It turns out that the Lushan ghost and god was summoned by him. Although it is still very weak now, it is growing stronger every day... It has been temporarily classified as a Delta-level calamity."

"As the owner of this catastrophic artifact, Xiao Wu is now widely recognized as having enormous potential, with the ultimate goal of wiping out all of humanity!"

Wu Zhong's eyes widened in disbelief. What did he mean by "exterminating all of humanity"?

Is that him? How come he doesn't know about someone as awesome as him?
He immediately looked at Wujinxia: "Brother Xia, have you already spread the word about the ghost and god mark?"

Endless Summer nodded.

The two of them had already discussed their public statements while they were outside the funeral home.

That is, Wu Zhong's calamity is a mark of ghosts and gods, which is used to cover up the characteristics of the 'gate'.

Later, when Endless Summer was using the skin-changing set in the teleportation event, she had already announced the matter of the Ghost God Mark on the platform, which made Wu a member of the circle.

Wu Jinxia's expression was strange: "The ghost and god mark I was talking about doesn't mean that."

Of course, that's not what he meant. Wu Zhong knew that the ghost and god mark he made up wasn't random; it was based on his experience of being chased by ghosts and gods.

Unexpectedly, people didn't believe him and thought he could command ghosts and gods.

Master Luo laughed and said, "You're not being honest, Lao Xia. We'll find out what the effects of the Ghost and God Mark are once we verify it."

"It is said that the mark of the ghost and the god is just like your ghost tattoo. It will be automatically inherited when the previous host is killed."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong immediately tensed up.

Endless Summer said calmly, "What? Old Luo, do you want to verify?"

"Hehe." Luo Yi chuckled, took out a cigarette and lit the next one with the cigarette he had already finished smoking.

Then he extinguished the cigarette butt, placed it in the ashtray, and seamlessly lit a second one.

"What do you mean by verification? What does it have to do with me? Xia Heng, I'm just reminding you to be careful."

"Now the focus of attention in the industry on this disaster has shifted to Xiao Wu. Besides 985, many mercenaries are also looking for you, wanting to kill Xiao Wu."

Wu Zhong's face turned grim: "Then what should we do?"

Endless Summer patted him: "No rush..."

"Not in a hurry?" Wu Zhong was a little confused: "Do I have to wash my feet first again?"

Endless Summer chuckled: "Let's not talk about this here, let's go somewhere else to drink."

……

They did not wash their feet, but returned to their apartment.

In just a five-minute walk, Luo Yi smoked three cigarettes, including one in the elevator.

A couple complained and righteously criticized him.

Luo Yi exhaled a puff of smoke, pulled out a wad of cash, and stuffed it into the elevator. Then the elevator fell silent.

Upon entering the living room, Luo Yi leaned back on the sofa and said, "Bring the wine!"

"I only came because you said you'd drink with me, so hurry up."

Wu Jinxia, ​​or rather, Xia Heng rolled his eyes at him, took out two large buckets of chilled white beer from the refrigerator and placed them on the table.

"It's not a good wine."

Luo Yi chuckled and took a sip: "It doesn't matter, as long as it's wine."

"Last time I was doing a task at a university, I couldn't find any alcohol, so I just took apart the alcohol lamp that they used in their chemistry lab and drank three bottles of it."

Wu was speechless. This was a true drunkard.

Luo Yi glanced at him, having already finished his drink.

"Don't just stand there, if you're going to sit here like this, I'm leaving."

He was helped to save them by Xia Heng doing him a favor.

Wu was still hoping that he would become a member of the Mad Blood Clan, so he immediately downed a glass of wine.

Yang Chunsha went up to him and offered his services: "Master Luo, I'll drink with you."

Luo Yi was surprised: "Beautiful lady, you can speak Chinese?" Yang Chunsha looked like a foreigner, and since she hadn't said a word the whole time, Luo Yi had assumed she was a foreigner.

“This body of mine is also skin,” Yang Chunsha explained.

Then he took out his phone: "Bro, I'll order you some snacks to go with your drinks. What do you want to eat?"

Luo Yi lit another cigarette with the butt, then immediately lit another one: "No need, I'll just smoke it to go with my drinks."

"..." Wu Zhong and Yang Chunsha were both greatly shocked.

Smoking while drinking? Pure, fucking pure.

They began to realize that this guy really did have a mental illness.

And he's really physically strong and resilient.

"Xiao Wu was someone you got out of 985, so what about this woman?" Luo Yi asked while smoking.

Xia Heng said calmly, "The local mercenaries accepted my mission and brought me out of Xunyang City."

"She saw me teleport; I can't let her get away with this."

Yangchun Sand Pupil Earthquake.

Luo Yi patted her shoulder with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, he's just kidding you."

"I was the last one to discover his teleportation secret, and now we're buddies."

Yang Chunsha asked with a mournful face, "Did you also take the poison pill?"

Luo Yi tilted his head: "Xia Heng, are you scaring the kids again?"

Xia Heng said coldly, "I'm not bluffing, it really is poisonous."

Luo Yi didn't take it seriously and picked up his wine glass: "Come on, don't believe him! Drink alcohol, this guy's poison can be cured by drinking alcohol, I'll eat it like peanuts."

After a few drinks, everyone except Luo Yi, who was smoking one cigarette after another, started to feel the effects of the alcohol on their stomachs.

After drinking two cups, Wu Zhong couldn't help but say, "Master Luo, the mark of the ghost and the god is not something that can command ghosts and gods... It is actually a mark that is hunted by ghosts and gods. Killing me will only inherit my trait of attracting ghosts and gods to hunt me down."

Luo Yi glanced at him sideways: "Little brat, trying to lie to me? You're still too green."

"Next time you make up lies, don't try so hard. Tell the truth more often."

Wu was speechless. He was an old hand at this. He had indeed made up some lies, but he hadn't expected to be seen through at a glance. However, he really didn't have the ability to command ghosts and gods.

He looked to Xia Heng for help.

Xia Heng said in a deep voice, "What Ji Meng said may not all be the truth."

"Are people in the industry really that easily fooled?"

Luo Yi chuckled and said, "Believe it or not, it's just that kind of thing, isn't it?"

"Whenever a new calamity appears, isn't intelligence gathering always a process of guessing, probing, and trial and error?"

"No matter what the characteristics of the ghost and god mark are, once we find you, we can find out."

Xia Heng asked, "So right now, there are still many mercenaries looking for us... Who are they?"

Luo Yi shrugged: "I don't know the specifics, since we can't see who accepted the mission."

"Besides the group you killed, I guess there were also some mercenary groups involved."

Wu Zhong was stunned: "The group of people we killed?"

Luo Yi exhaled a smoke ring: "Hey, what's up, little brother? You haven't even escaped the sphere of influence of 985 yet, and you're already offending all the enlightened families?"

Wu Zhong was bewildered: "How did I offend you? What are you talking about?"

Luo Yi lit another cigarette: "Hehe, just the day before yesterday, a group of mercenaries were spying on you, but they were attacked by ghosts and gods on the river."

"Three dead and two injured. The one who did it was the Day Wanderer, wasn't he acting on your orders?"

"Of the three who died, one was from the 'Ruan family' and two were from the 'Tijuana family'."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong gasped.

"It's none of my business. I don't know anything about the people who killed the Day Wanderer God."

Luo Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't know? So you just gave the order for the Day Wanderer to find and kill anyone in the vicinity who has ill intentions towards you, but you don't know who died?"

Wu Zhong's face contorted in pain: "No... I can't command ghosts and gods. This was killed by the Day-Roaming God himself."

Luo Yi poured him a drink: "You're really quick to deny it. Go ahead and talk to the Tijuana family."

Wu wanted to say more.

Xia Heng waved his hand and said, "Alright, no need to say anything more."

"No matter what the truth is, you can't escape responsibility for this."

"The Day Wanderer has already offended you. No matter what you say, you can't avoid the mercenaries coming to cause you trouble."

Wu's blood rushed to his head, and his blood pressure soared.

Although he didn't know the specific origins of these two families, he knew about the Awakened Family, which was a group of people who became Awakened by recognizing their parents and thus formed a powerful force.

Did the day-roaming spirits attack them? Kill three? Seriously injure two?

Or was it on his orders?

This is a complete setup! Defamation!

The ghosts and spirits are deliberately using his name to commit murder, frame others, and stir up hatred for him everywhere.

"This is nonsense! It's made out of nothing! It's pure imagination! It's fabricated facts! It's utter rubbish! It's spreading rumors!"

Luo Yi looked at him with interest: "Oh? You really don't have the ability to command ghosts and gods?"

Wu Zhong sincerely replied, "I really didn't."

Luo Yi took a big gulp of wine and put down his glass: "Who knows?"

"What good are the gods to me? They won't listen to me." Wu Zhong spread his hands, indicating that he would not summon ghosts or gods.

Luo Yi smiled but remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Xia Heng said quietly, "You'll know when the enemy comes looking for you."

Wu Zhong's pupils trembled.

He realized that the Day Wanderer would indeed help him, confirming this fact and helping him until his death!
Xia Heng explained, "The ghosts and gods know I'm here, and with their current strength, it will be difficult for them to kill you."

"So they changed their strategy and used someone else to do their dirty work!"

“They have offended people everywhere for you and spread the word that you can command spirits.”

"As long as you are alive, everything that ghosts and gods do represents your will."

Wu Zhong wanted to say something.

Xia Heng waved his hand to interrupt: "You want to defend yourself? That's going to be difficult."

"In the eyes of mercenaries, when the information that 'killing you will allow you to inherit the mark of the gods' spreads out... there is only one way to verify it."

Wu gritted his teeth. He understood that in the realm of calamities, there was always a lot of information, both true and false.

Don't people rely on guesswork and speculation based on some facts, and then verify their findings?

Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you try it.

That is: actually kill him and see if he can inherit the mark of the ghost god!

Moreover, this matter is very attractive.

First, Wu Zhong is a newcomer, a new holder of a calamity-inducing artifact.

Secondly, the demonic mark has enormous potential! It can command demons, and these demons are growing stronger every day!
Third, unfortunately, ghosts and spirits are currently in a period of weakness, and are still very weak.

What happens to a newcomer who possesses a high-potential but weak calamity artifact?
Not to mention, the Day Wanderer also killed several mercenaries, which made him even more guilty of blood debts!
Dirty! Really dirty! Shady! Really shady!
"A bunch of gods, how can they be so despicable?"

"Fuck your mother!"
