Sitting in the bank’s VIP room, the utterly bored Lin Hao could only watch the log continuously update.
Saving someone who’s gone mad from work really is quite an effort.
Now Lin Hao had been waiting in the VIP room for half an hour, and only one "Corpse Dog" had been organized.
According to this organizing method, as Lin Hao understood it, it should correspond to the Three Souls and Seven Spirits.
Not counting the time spent at work after possession, organizing the Three Souls and Seven Spirits at a minimum takes at least 5 hours?
This really is the first time encountering such a lengthy process.
Lin Hao wanted to see which poor office worker had gone mad from work like this, so when leaving River Debris City, he could post a warning online!
Releasing the Divine Thought, Lin Hao relied on his vague sense of Black Impermanence, and the Divine Thought gradually converged towards a place.
This is...
Isn’t this the City Management Team?
Lin Hao’s Divine Thought could feel the Black Impermanence Avatar from afar was right here, but the closer he got, the less clear the sensation became.
From a distance, it was there.
Closer, where did it go?
Lin Hao’s Divine Thought went back and forth several times, but he just couldn’t directly lock onto the location of the Black Impermanence Avatar.
This made Lin Hao’s Divine Thought hover over the City Management Team. Under Divine Thought sensing, many Extraordinary were busy, though things seemed a bit chaotic. However, if observed for just a moment, it could be seen that there were obvious groups, like a three-person team:
A muscular man, tossing half-naked people one by one towards the reservoir in front of him, while in the air, these people scratched their bodies incessantly. Some people’s particular parts, already exposed, were tearing off flesh...
While these people were "gliding" in the air on a low level, an old lady, sitting on a small stool knitting a ball of yarn, would puncture with each stitch, causing a person’s flesh to grow wriggling yarn beneath.
These yarns that grew from the flesh crawled over people’s entire bodies almost instantly, compressing their flesh into doll-like entities as small as a hand, although losing human shape, they still ripped themselves apart wildly, yarn flying chaotically.
But as the dolls fell one by one with inertia into the reservoir.
By the reservoir, someone kept drinking water, sipping while walking around, kicking back the dolls crawling by the reservoir one by one into the water. Inside the reservoir, the dolls floundered, but their yarn bodies absorbed water and gradually sank...
After nearly filling the reservoir with dolls, the person drinking water by the reservoir shouted loudly:
"Don’t look indecently!"
Then, undisturbed, he took off his shorts, whistled:
"Whish~~"
Within the reservoir, as urine seeped in, faint cold air began to emanate, soon freezing the entire reservoir.
Once entirely frozen, the self-harming dolls immobile in the reservoir became naturally stiff.
"Don’t just give me water, mix a bit of that Ke Chen City’s milk tea in my water.
If you don’t mix a bit of milk tea, I’ll piss blood!"
Lin Hao: ...
This ability sure is peculiar; it doesn’t seem very convenient to go to the bathroom.
Within the City Management Team, there are many teams like this. Extraordinaries are using different powers to calm the already incoherent people, preventing them from harming themselves further. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Though chaotic, there is a sense of order belonging to itself.
The only assistance Lin Hao could offer was pressing the bell in the VIP room...
"Sir, may I help you with anything? The cash amount you want to withdraw is rather large, and cash is being counted and packed. Please bear with us for a moment."
"No worries, I understand. You just need to handle the cash withdrawal quickly. Could you send a runner for me in the meantime? I need to deliver this bag to the City Management Team to find someone named Xiyu to sign for it."
As he spoke, Lin Hao handed the cultural bag in his hand to the staff in front of him.
This was one of Lin Hao’s Storage Bags, fully packed with milk tea powder packs.
The amount in there, according to Lin Hao’s evaluation, should be enough for everyone in the River Debris City Management Team, with excess even if used as meals.
Once delivered, Lin Hao would remotely manipulate using the Divine Thought to empty the milk tea powder packs, ensuring everyone in the City Management Team could replenish their Extraordinary Power.
The staff didn’t ask any further questions, taking the cultural bag and quickly leaving the room.
When the staff closed the door, Lin Hao saw new content beside the [organizing...] in the log.
[Office worker doesn’t want to organize their mental state]
[Black Impermanence Avatar states that body and mind in harmony is the basis of Cultivation, considering one whole]
[Office worker doesn’t want to Cultivate]
[Office worker starts to resist]
[Black Impermanence Avatar begins persuading]
[Office worker refuses to be persuaded]
[Black Impermanence Avatar tries everything to persuade]
[Office worker insists on resisting, stating Black Impermanence Avatar doesn’t understand them at all]
[Black Impermanence Avatar sees office worker’s emotions are too agitated, highly unfavorable to the mental state organizing process, takes a few steps back, and removes his hat]
Lin Hao looking at this log was full of confusion.
Why does the Oriental deity of his previous life take off his tall hat?
Is he bowing like a Western gentleman? Does Black Impermanence know this?
But Lin Hao’s confusion was quickly answered by the log.
[Office worker, seeing Black Impermanence Avatar retreating, seems slightly calmed]
[Black Impermanence Avatar takes a running start, grabs the hat in his hand, and forcefully buckles it down]
[Office worker’s excited emotions completely calm, appearing very serene]
[Peace indeed reigns under heaven]
[Mental state organizing continues... organizing...]
This Black Impermanence Avatar is so reckless?
But Lin Hao didn’t have time to criticize the Black Impermanence Avatar, because, as the log updated, his Divine Thought detected the Black Impermanence Avatar’s power.
Underground!
Go down!
Swish~
Lin Hao’s Divine Thought delved below ground, feeling certain resistance, after all, it was the territory of the City Management Team with some containment objects blocking detection.
But this was not a big issue for Lin Hao, a slight effort of will pushed further in.
Soon, Lin Hao’s Divine Thought brushed past the [Budget Consultant], going even deeper.
This place seems more hidden than where the [Budget Consultant] was placed.
In the next second.
Lin Hao’s Divine Thought entered a secret chamber.
The chamber’s walls were lined with various screens, each running a different independent game.
These games varied from horror to competition, life-simulation, racing, role-playing...
The person controlling these games lay quietly in the central nutrition pod.
As soon as Lin Hao’s Divine Thought entered the chamber, all game screens paused.
Then, the screens flickered, and a pair of eyes appeared on all of them.
A stern voice emanated from the speakers:
"Who are you!"
"Who let you in here!"
"Get out!"
Lin Hao’s Divine Thought fluctuated; it was the first time his Divine Thought had been so clearly detected.
"I can sense the taste of your soul. I don’t care what method you use to conceal your tracks, you have three seconds."
"If you don’t come out, don’t blame me for destroying your soul!"
"3!"
Above the person’s head in the pod, three illusory, demonic flowers appeared.
Leaves drop as flowers bloom.
"2!"
Floating dead leaves fell into the void, stirring ripples.
Amid the ripples, there seemed to be a peculiar scene of oil boiling.
[Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao sensed the aura of the Fire Pit Hell]
[Fire Pit Hell, zone of evil and licentiousness]
"1!"
A surge of fiery air shot from the ripples, embedding into the roots of the three Deathblossom Lilies...
"Since you won’t come out, don’t blame me for your death!"
"Break!"
The person in the pod shouted lowly.
An intangible and amorphous wave oscillated within the chamber, mixing with the fiery air swept from the ripples.
[Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao got tainted by the Karmic Fire of Fire Pit Hell...]
