Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

Dead silence.

An eerie, deathly silence fell over the office for several seconds.

The only aromas in the air were the rich scents of food and coffee, which were tantalizingly tempting the stomachs of two people who had just weathered a storm.

"Gulu..."

A loud, untimely sound, like thunder, shattered the tranquility.

The source of the sound was Baili Pang's unruly belly.

His bewildered face, which seemed to scream "Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?", instantly turned bright red.

"Cough cough."

Lu Xuan finally put down his coffee cup, cleared his throat, and his mocking smile deepened:

"What's wrong, you two heroes who 'smuggled' yourselves across the border? Aren't you hungry after such a long and arduous journey?"

He pointed to the table laden with dishes, his tone as relaxed as if he were entertaining an old friend who had come from afar:

"Please don't be shy, have a seat. This is a celebration banquet specially prepared for you."

"A... a celebration banquet?"

Baili Pang's brain was still in a daze, and he subconsciously repeated a sentence.

What achievement are we celebrating?

Are we celebrating our successful, glorious, and captured victory?

"Old...Old Lu?"

Finally, Cao Yuan was the first to recover from the immense shock.

His sharp eyes were fixed on Lu Xuan, then glanced at Xie Yu, the acting warden who stood like a wooden stake behind Lu Xuan with an expressionless face, and at the unbelievably luxurious furnishings in the office.

An utterly absurd, yet seemingly the only reasonable guess, flashed through his mind like lightning.

"You..." Cao Yuan's voice was dry and incredulous, "You... took over this place?"

"Occupied?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan shook his head dramatically and corrected him in a serious tone:

"Old Cao, you're not saying that right. What do you mean by 'occupied'? That's too rude."

He snapped his fingers gracefully.

Xie Yu, who stood beside him like a statue, immediately stepped forward like the most professional waiter and pulled out two chairs.

"My name is..." Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said something that almost made Cao Yuan and Baili Pangpang kneel down on the spot, "At the enthusiastic invitation of the prison staff and inmates, I have temporarily taken over the daily management of the prison to contribute to the construction of a harmonious, civilized, and orderly new prison ecosystem."

"..."

Baili Pangpang's mouth opened even wider, so wide that it could almost fit a lion's head inside.

Cao Yuan's lips twitched uncontrollably.

God the hell is adding bricks and tiles!

You call this adding bricks and tiles?!

You probably tore down all the original bricks and tiles and then rebuilt them using enemy skulls, didn't you?

"Waaaaah!!!"

Just as Cao Yuan was still bewildered, Baili Pangpang, who was standing next to him, suddenly burst into a deafening wail without any warning!

His round body, like a deflated balloon, suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Lu Xuan's leg and instantly smearing snot and tears all over Lu Xuan's clean hospital gown trousers.

"Old Lu! My own brother!!"

The fat man cried so heartbreakingly that it moved everyone who heard it to tears.

"I thought... I thought I'd never see you again! Waaah... I... for you, I almost gave up my pure and innocent life that I'd kept for twenty years!"

He cried as he pointed behind him with his chubby hand, his face full of lingering fear and grievance.

"Do you know?! To get in here and save you, Lao Cao and I... we were prepared to 'sacrifice ourselves for righteousness'! I even thought about what to write in my will! I'll just write, 'I, Baili Pangpang, will go to great lengths for my brothers, for loyalty... I'm physically disabled but determined!'"

"puff--"

Lu Xuan almost spat out his coffee.

He looked down at the fat man clinging to his leg, crying like a 300-pound child, and felt both annoyed and amused.

"Alright, alright, stop howling."

Lu Xuan gave his big head a disdainful push. "You've got your snot all over me. Get up and eat!"

The fat man stopped crying abruptly upon hearing the word "eat".

He raised his chubby face, his eyes still wet with tears, sniffled, and asked pitifully:

"Is...is it really safe to eat? That...that roast duck..."

"They're all yours," Lu Xuan said helplessly.

"okay!"

Baili Pang - Pang is instantly fully revived!

He nimbly leaped up from the ground (though his movements were somewhat clumsy due to his size), and without even bothering to untie the handcuffs on his hands, he pounced directly on the dining table.

Upon seeing the glistening, fragrant roast duck, his eyes lit up instantly, shining like two 200-watt light bulbs!

"My duck! My darling! I'm here!"

He opened his mouth wide and took a bite without using his hands!

He tore off a large piece of crispy-skinned, tender duck meat, chewed it with his mouth full of oil, and his face showed an expression of bliss that made him feel like he was about to ascend to heaven.

Cao Yuan watched this scene and silently rubbed his forehead.

He felt that he must have been out of his mind to team up with this clown.

"Old Cao, please sit down too."

Lu Xuan waved to Cao Yuan, who was still standing.

Cao Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his mind, and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Unlike the fat man, he didn't wolf down his food. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of vegetables, and chewed slowly, his eyes never leaving Lu Xuan.

"Speak," Cao Yuan's voice regained its usual calm, "What exactly happened?"

Lu Xuan smiled but did not answer immediately.

He snapped his fingers again.

Xie Yu approached like a ghost, took out a specially made tool from a cabinet, and walked behind Fatty and Cao Yuan.

"Click."

"Click."

The shackles on their hands came off with a click.

Baili Pang-Pang instantly freed his hands, cheered, picked up the whole roast duck, and began to devour it.

Cao Yuan, on the other hand, flexed his wrists and looked at Lu Xuan with a more profound gaze.

The acting warden personally unlocked the door for them...

Lu Xuan's control over this place has reached an unbelievable level.

"The matter is... very simple."

Lu Xuan picked up his coffee and said slowly, "It's just like what you see here. When I first arrived, it was a bit...too noisy. So, I took action and quieted it down a bit."

He paused, then added, "A tiny bit."

Cao Yuan: “…”

He believed your ghost!

With your "tiny bit", you've probably given all the prisoners in the prison psychological trauma!

“That acting warden…” Cao Yuan’s gaze swept toward Xie Yu, who stood to the side like a puppet.

“Oh, him.” Lu-Xuan’s tone was as if he were talking about a trivial matter. “He was a bit disobedient, so I helped him ‘calm down.’ Now, he’s cooperating with my work.”

Cao Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He could certainly tell that Xie Yu's state was... definitely not as simple as "cooperation".

It's a kind of absolute control where the soul is emptied and the will is completely erased!

This Lu Xuan...

Just how terrifying is the power he possesses?!

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

“Master,” Xie Yu said emotionlessly, “dinner has been served.”

Outside the door, two kitchen helpers were standing there nervously, pushing a food cart.

When the door was opened, they saw the hellish, bloody scene in the office, and... the blue and white striped tattooed figure sitting leisurely in the warden's seat, drinking coffee. The two men were so frightened that they almost knelt on the ground!

"Send...send in...in..."

One of the helpers spoke in a trembling voice, his teeth chattering.

They pushed the food cart, heads down, eyes glued to their toes, barely daring to breathe, quickly placing the dishes from the cart onto the table, and then…

They scrambled out as if their lives depended on it!

Lu Xuan looked at the newly added dishes and nodded in satisfaction.

"Come on, Fatty, try this, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

Lu Xuan pointed to the steaming, fragrant dish, "It's freshly stewed, here to nourish you."

"Mmm...so delicious!"

The fat man, his mouth stuffed with duck meat, mumbled his response, his eyes already fixed on the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup.

Seeing this utterly absurd scene, Cao Yuan finally couldn't help but speak:

"Lu Xuan, why did you make such a big fuss and bring us in? What exactly do you want?"

He knew that Lu Xuan was not the kind of person who would be bored and just invite them to a meal.

Lu Xuan's smile finally faded a bit.

He put down his coffee cup, leaned forward slightly, and his gaze sharpened.

"because……"

His voice was low, carrying a hint of coldness, "Tonight, there will be a... very grand 'fireworks' show here."

"And I lack two people who can help me... light the fire."

Almost the instant he finished speaking!

The entire fasting place suddenly shook violently!

boom--! ! ! !

A muffled roar, as if from the depths of the earth, came from a certain direction of the prison!

Immediately afterwards, a sharp, piercing, blood-red alarm, signifying the highest level of crisis, resounded throughout the entire steel fortress!

"Warning! Warning! The energy reaction of the town's ruins monument in Area A... is rapidly decreasing!"

"Repeated! The energy reaction of the Town Ruins Monument in Area A is rapidly decreasing!"

"Warning! Unknown high-energy forbidden energy fluctuations detected! Inside the prison... the forbidden energy suppression... is failing!!!"

The piercing electronic warning sound, accompanied by violent vibrations, echoed wildly throughout the office.

The dishes on the table were shaking, and soup was splashing everywhere.

Baili Pang—the duck leg in his mouth fell out, and he looked terrified.

Cao Yuan suddenly stood up, clenched his fists which had just been freed, and his eyes were extremely serious!

The suppression of the forbidden ruins... has failed?!

this means……

This is a cage that holds countless vicious and vicious prisoners with all sorts of bizarre and forbidden abilities...

It's about to open!

A smile, almost devilishly expectant, slowly bloomed on Lu Xuan's face.

"Look."

He pointed out the window to the prison complex, which looked even more menacing under the red alarm lights.

"The show... is about to begin."
