I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

"Yes."

The yamen runners who were personally recruited by Prefect Luo did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

After they responded in unison, they hurried forward to open the door of the government office.

As the bolt fell to the ground, the door creaked open.

The pitch-black scene outside the door immediately caught the eyes of everyone present.

See this scene.

No matter whether it was the six warriors including Zhou Heng, or ordinary mortals like Prefect Luo, everyone could not help but stand there in a daze, their hearts sinking.

You know, in order to avoid being targeted by the evil spirits that roam around at night, humans have always kept their lights on at night.

Therefore, under the illumination of countless lights, even if the area outside the government office is not as bright as day, it should at least not be pitch black.

But now, looking out through the open door, there is not a single light to be seen.

The open door of the mansion was like a bottomless black hole, as if it could swallow everything.

Obviously, there must be huge problems involved.

"You, go out and take a look at the situation outside."

Without much thought, Jiang Yan immediately pointed at a yamen runner beside him and gave an order.

Hear the words.

The face of the yamen runner who was pointed at turned as pale as paper in an instant, and he stepped back repeatedly in fear.

The pitch-black exterior of the government office clearly held great danger. How could a mere mortal like him dare to go out alone? This was simply a threat to his life.

So he quickly backed away and begged for mercy.

"My lord, I"

boom!

Before the bailiff could finish begging for mercy.

A hint of cruelty flashed in Jiang Yan's cold eyes, and then he quickly drew out the ghost-head sword from his waist and slashed it.

In an instant.

The alternating hot and cold blade light swept across the sky with unstoppable force, and the body of the yamen runner was instantly split into two pieces, falling heavily to the ground, causing a dull sound.

"Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed without mercy! You, go out and check the situation outside, then come back and report."

Jiang Yan sheathed his sword expressionlessly, then pointed at another yamen runner beside him and gave an order.

"I?"

The new unlucky guy who was pointed out suddenly came back to his senses from the shock of the previous unlucky guy being suddenly killed. His eyes widened, and emotions such as disbelief, horror, and despair appeared on his face one after another.

"It's you, go quickly, are you going to disobey orders too?"

Jiang Yan urged without any mercy, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and his big hand grabbed the hilt of the ghost-head sword tied at his waist again.

See this situation.

"I'm going! I'm going!"

The new unlucky guy shouted repeatedly in a trembling voice, and then ran towards the gate of the mansion with extremely uncoordinated hands and feet, crawling and rolling, for fear that if he was a little slower, he would be split into two.

After seeing the unlucky bailiff completely pass through the government gate and disappear in the pitch-black scene outside the gate.

Everyone present was silently mourning for the unfortunate guy in their hearts, while staring at the wide-open door nervously.

soon.

Only a breath or two had passed.

The unlucky yamen runner then passed through the gate again and returned to the government office.

See this.

Jiang Yan walked quickly and came close to him in a few steps. He pressed the hilt of the knife with his big hand and asked in a deep voice:

"What's going on outside?"

"Outside?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's aggressive question.

The bailiff was stunned for a moment, then he stared wide-eyed as he scanned the surrounding scene.

Finally, he said in a trembling voice with a look of astonishment on his face:

“Sir, I didn’t see what was happening outside.

No, no, I didn't go out at all.

That’s not right, I did go out, but I walked through the gate and came straight back here.”

"what?!"

After listening to the yamen runner's chaotic but barely understandable words.

Everyone present, whether it was Jiang Yan, Zhou Heng, Liu Shiqing and others, or Prefect Luo and others, could not help but cry out in surprise.

"Damn it, how could this happen!"

After being stunned, Jiang Yan cursed inwardly with an extremely ugly expression.

Then he suddenly turned around and looked at the crowd, gritting his teeth and pointing at several nearby yamen runners.

"You, you, you, and you, the four of you go out and give it a try."

"Ah! It's..."

The four yamen runners who were called were startled at first, and then hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Then, the four of them did not dare to delay even a moment, and walked quickly with their bodies trembling slightly, passing through the gate of the mansion where they could not see anything outside the door.

It also took about one or two breaths of time.

The four unlucky guys who were traveling together passed through the gate again and returned to the government office.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan hurried forward and asked:

"How's it going? Did you guys go outside?"

Hear the words.

The four of them shook their heads helplessly.

"Sir, we also returned here after passing through the mansion gate. We did not go outside."

"Damn it! It's over now!"

After receiving the same feedback, Jiang Yan couldn't help but curse inwardly again, his face looking terribly gloomy and ugly.

At the same time, Liu Shiqing and the other three, except Zhou Heng, instantly had sad expressions on their faces, with a hint of despair in their looks.

Seeing Jiang Yan and others showing such horrifying expressions one after another.

Prefect Luo no longer cared about any other impacts.

He quickly stepped forward and asked directly:

"Master Jiang, do you know what this is all about?"

Hear the words.

Jiang Yan was silent for a moment, then he sighed deeply and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, we should be trapped in the evil realm."

"Evil Realm?"

Magistrate Luo's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Yes, it must be the evil realm. Only the evil realm could cause such a situation."

Jiang Yan nodded affirmatively.

"The evil domain of the [evil] roaming within the government office should have enveloped the entire government office.

Apart from killing it, there is no other way for us to leave the government office and escape from its evil domain.

However, according to common sense, only those who have reached a higher level of [Evil] will have a very small probability of possessing an evil domain.

This shows that the [evil] that is now wandering around the government office is at least of a high level.

Just relying on us to kill the superior evil, this... sigh..."

I heard Jiang Yan's last sigh, which was slightly filled with despair.

Prefect Luo was completely overwhelmed. He could no longer maintain his dignity as a prefect and howled in despair:

"No──How could it be! How could it be! How could it be a superior evil!! Why am I so unlucky──"

Along with the collapse of Magistrate Luo's "leading by example".

The legal advisors, constables, and yamen runners present were no longer stable and began to wail in despair.

The upper-level [Evil] is a terrifying existence that can only be resisted by first-rate warriors who can collapse mountains and break rivers. They, the mortals, are trapped in the opponent's territory and cannot escape. How can they not feel sad?
