Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

The moment the phone was hung up, the last trace of warmth in Lu Ruici's eyes froze, replaced by an unfathomable coldness.

Without any hesitation, she turned around and spoke to the young man beside her who was wiping a peculiarly shaped dagger out of boredom.

The young man's movements came to an abrupt halt, and his peach blossom eyes, which always held a hint of cynicism, narrowed slightly.

He blew away the nonexistent dust on the blade and grinned, "Is there a big job coming up?"

"Shut up and get in the car." Lu Ruici's voice was calm.

Half an hour later, a completely black van, modified like an armored behemoth, tore through the city's evening rush hour.

Under the astonished gazes of countless drivers, it rushed towards the coastline of Ningchang County like a black lightning.

The setting sun was at its peak, dyeing the entire sky and sea into a gorgeous orange-red.

The golden light shining on the beach should be a romantic moment that makes tourists linger.

However, at this moment, this famous scenic spot known as "Sunset Lover's Beach" is shrouded in an extremely inharmonious and tense atmosphere.

Dozens of operatives wearing black combat uniforms and armed with live ammunition are rapidly setting up a long yellow cordon along the coastline.

The movements were quick and decisive, without any delay.

They had serious expressions and eyes as sharp as eagles, and they rudely drove away the tourists who were still reluctant to leave the beach.

"Dear tourists, the area ahead is temporarily blocked. There is an urgent task. Please leave immediately!"

"Please cooperate with our work, retreat immediately, and do not stay here!"

The sound of the loudspeaker was cold and harsh, breaking the harmony of waves and laughter.

Tourists complained, but after seeing the black guns on the waists and the cold eyes of the operatives,

He shut his mouth wisely and was reluctantly driven away from this place of trouble.

Speculations and rumors arose among the crowd. Some said they had discovered an unexploded wartime mine.

Some people rumored that some important person was going to hold a private party here, and the atmosphere became increasingly mysterious and weird.

Right in the middle of this artificially created vacuum zone, the black monster van did a beautiful tailspin and stopped steadily.

The dust kicked up by the wheels had not yet completely settled when the car door was suddenly pulled open.

The first thing that caught my eye was two figures wearing dark red cloaks.

Lu Ruici got out of the car first, the sea breeze blowing the hem of her cloak.

With the sound of rustling birds' wings, that cold and beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of sacred halo in the afterglow of the setting sun, but it also revealed a cold feeling that kept strangers away.

Zhou Dao, who followed closely behind, seemed much more casual. He jumped out of the car.

He stretched himself and glanced at the forcibly cleared beach, marveling at it.

A team leader in charge of security immediately ran forward and was about to speak to stop them.

But when he saw the mysterious emblem embroidered with gold thread on their cloaks, his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly stood at attention and saluted, his voice trembling with excitement: "Sir!"

Lu Ruici nodded slightly and took out a metal token from his arms. The token reflected a cold luster in the setting sun.

The team leader only took a glance, then quickly looked away as if he had been burned by an iron, and stepped aside more respectfully to make way.

"The blockade extends another 500 meters. No one is allowed to spy here in any way."

Lu Ruici's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable commanding tone.

"Yes!" Without any hesitation, the team leader immediately turned around and gave new instructions via the walkie-talkie.

Zhou Dao followed Lu Ruici, easily crossed the cordon and stepped onto the soft sand.

He looked around. The once bustling beach was now only filled with the sounds of wind and waves.

An oppressive feeling of impending storm permeated the air.

He finally put away his nonchalant look and asked in a low voice, "Rui Ci, what's going on?"

"Such a big deal, isn't it just to receive a batch of 'goods'? Do we need to mobilize the entire special operations team to clear the area?"

Lu Ruici did not answer immediately. She walked to the shore and looked at the sparkling sea, as if waiting for something.

The sea breeze blew her long hair, making it flutter along with her dark red cloak.

"This is not my order," she finally spoke, her voice a little vague in the sea breeze.

"It was an order from Commander Zuo himself."

"Commander Zuo?" Zhou Dao's pupils suddenly shrank.

That name seemed to carry a tremendous force, completely erasing the ease on his face.

Commander Zuo, the mainstay of the Eastern Theater Command, will not easily use his authority for trivial matters.

Once he personally gives the order, it means that the seriousness of the matter has gone beyond the normal scope.

"What exactly is the cargo?" Zhou Dao asked, his tone more serious than ever.

"I don't know either,"

Lu Ruici shook his head.

"All I know is that Commander Zuo emphasized three times on the phone, 'at any cost.'"

"and……"

She paused, turned her head, looked at Zhou Dao, and said word by word: "Master Chen is on his way."

"what?!"

If the name "Commander Zuo" only shocked Zhou Dao,

Then the three words "Master Chen" made him feel a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

His body even stiffened uncontrollably for a moment.

Master Chen!

That legendary existence!

A mysterious figure who even Commander Zuo has to treat with courtesy!

It is said that the last time he took action was in the "War of Gods" three years ago that almost involved the entire South Asia.

No one has seen him since then.

Now, for this batch of mysterious "goods", he actually has to come to this small Ningchang County in person?

Zhou Dao's Adam's apple rolled up and down and he swallowed hard.

He suddenly remembered something, and his expression became even uglier:

"Here...if I remember correctly, this coast of Ningchang County."

"In the past three years, there have been three cases of missing tourists. All of them were classified as Grade A cold cases, with no trace of the person or body found."

"The local branch investigated for a long time but found no clues, so the case was ultimately dropped..."

His words seemed to make the temperature of the air around them drop a few degrees.

Is there some kind of terrifying connection between the three strange disappearances and today's mysterious "cargo"?

"Let's not wait any longer, let's go in and investigate the situation first!"

Zhou Dao's eyes became sharp, and his hand was already on the dagger at his waist.

Unknown dangers are the most tiring. He would rather take the initiative than wait here passively.

"Stop." Lu Ruici's voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible majesty.

"The order is, wait."

She turned around and looked directly into Zhou Dao's anxious eyes.

He said calmly, "No one is allowed to act rashly before Master Chen arrives. This is an iron rule."

Zhou Dao's movements froze.

He looked at Lu Ruici's determined eyes and knew that she was not joking.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and moved his hand away from the hilt of the knife.

He understood that what made Lu Ruici emphasize so much, even using the word "iron law",

This means that the danger ahead may be far beyond their imagination, and even the two of them together may not be able to deal with it.

Time passed by minute by minute, the last ray of sunset was about to sink into the sea level, and the sky began to darken rapidly.

On the beach, there was dead silence except for the sound of wind and waves.

At this moment, an extremely strange scene appeared.

On the distant horizon, there were no ships or lights, but the outline of a carriage suddenly emerged.

The carriage was completely black, as if it was condensed from the deepest night, and its shape was simple and gorgeous.

What's even more horrifying is that the cart isn't pulled by a horse.

But two warhorses made of pure shadow, they tread in the void,

Without making any sound, it rushed towards the coast at an incredible speed.

Ghost carriage!

All the members of the operation team present, including Lu Ruici and Zhou Dao, subconsciously held their breath the moment they saw the carriage.

The carriage stopped silently on the beach, and the shadow warhorse turned into two balls of black mist and slowly dissipated.

The car door opened quietly and a figure walked out.

He was also wearing an ancient black robe, and his figure was not tall.

He was even a little thin, with an ancient bronze mask on his face, so his features could not be seen clearly.

He just stood there quietly, and an invisible pressure spread out like a tide, making the air around him seem to solidify.

"Master." Lu Ruici and Zhou Dao bowed at the same time, their tone extremely respectful.

The man called Master Chen nodded slightly, looking past them.

It was thrown into the sea, which became deeper and more treacherous as night fell.

His voice was hoarse and low, like the sound of an ancient bell, carrying the resonance of time.

"How's it going?"

Lu Ruici stepped forward and reported concisely: "The target has not appeared yet."

"We have followed your instructions and cleared all outsiders within a kilometer radius."

Master Chen didn't ask any more questions. He just glanced at the two of them calmly and said in his hoarse voice, "Get in the car."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked back to the ghost carriage that exuded an ominous aura.

Lu Ruici and Zhou Dao did not dare to delay at all and followed immediately.

Lu Ruici took the lead and stepped onto the shaft of the cart neatly.

Zhou Dao followed closely behind, and just as he stepped one foot on the pedal of the carriage, his eyes inadvertently swept across the external structure of the carriage.

The black car body glowed with a new luster in the night.

Whether it is the texture of the wood or the metal edging, everything is flawless, as if it had just been completed by a craftsman without a trace of dust.

A thought flashed through his mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage that was completely black and shimmering with runes slid in front of everyone like a ghost.

Zhou Dao exclaimed, "Wow!" and couldn't help but reach out and touch the cool, jade-like car body: "Boss, when did we get a new car?"

"This texture, this streamline, it's simply a work of art!"

In the driver's seat, Lu Ruici, who was in charge of controlling the rune array, glanced at him expressionlessly.

He said coldly: "The old one was broken in the last 'God War'."

"Gods... a war of gods?"

Zhou Dao's smile froze on his face. He was just a newcomer who had just joined.

When I heard this word, I felt a chill running from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head. I scratched my head in embarrassment.

"That...how fierce a battle would that be?"

Master Chen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes were as deep as the universe, as if hiding the birth and death of stars. His tone was calm.

But with unquestionable dominance, he said: "Don't worry, with these guys who are hiding their heads and showing their tails now, they are not qualified to recreate such a scene."

With just one sentence, the tense atmosphere in the car was instantly swept away, replaced by an absolute sense of security.

The last bit of uneasiness in Zhou Dao's heart was also soothed. He smiled and got into the carriage.

He exclaimed again: "Oh my god! Is this roof... a 360-degree panoramic sunroof?!"

The roof of the car was not a solid object, but a dazzling energy shield.

The night sky outside is projected clearly, and even the dimmest stars are clearly visible.

"Shut up, bumpkin."

Lu Ruici's voice came from the front, with a hint of disgust, but it also cleverly resolved Zhou Dao's recklessness.

The rune carriage sped silently through the night, its speed far exceeding that of ordinary means of transportation.

However, half an hour later, Lu Ruici's voice sounded again.

This time, he was a little confused. "Strange... According to the coordinates, we should have reached that coastal fishing village."

Zhou Dao looked out of the window. Apart from the endless coastline and dark reefs, there was no trace of a fishing village.

"Could it be that the address was wrong?"

"Impossible," Zuo Qing on the side immediately denied it.

"These coordinates were sent by the other party using a special encryption method. They can't be wrong."

The mystery deepened instantly. A place that should have existed had vanished into thin air.

"parking."

Master Chen's low voice suddenly sounded.

The carriage stopped at the sound.

He opened the car door and walked down slowly. The cold sea breeze blew his simple clothes.

But it couldn't blow away the profound and majestic aura he exuded.

He didn't look at the ground, nor at the sea, but... raised his head and stared at the sky.

Puzzled, everyone got out of the car and looked up at the night sky. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and everything seemed normal.

"Look,"

Master Chen stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky.

"From the angle we're standing at now, the moon... is red."

When everyone heard this, they adjusted their perspectives.

When their sight completely coincided with the direction Master Chen pointed, their pupils suddenly contracted!

The originally bright moon was covered with a strange blood-red color in their eyes.

It was like an evil eye, coldly watching the world from the sky.

At this moment, Zuo Qing's cell phone vibrated rapidly.

He answered the phone, listened quickly, and his expression became more serious.

After hanging up the phone, he suddenly looked up and looked at Master Chen:

"Master, I understand now! The fishing village didn't disappear, but was 'hidden' by a powerful illusion!"

"The reason we can't see it is because... we came on the wrong date!"

Sleight of hand? Date?

An even greater mystery looms in everyone's mind.

If we want to find that batch of "goods", it seems that the key is no longer space, but time.

However, none of them knew that at this moment, in another forgotten corner of time and space,

Two completely different souls are being slowly pushed towards this intersection of destiny by an invisible force.
