I am a nuclear bomb.
[Pioneer] isn't it the same?
He's even a nuclear bomb that doesn't know when he'll explode!
Whether it's the mysteries surrounding the Pre-Qin and the First Emperor, or the doomsday-level Fierce Ghosts that will descend in the late stage of the second Supernatural Calamity.
Only by catching that [Pioneer] guy can you know, he's the shortcut to solving all problems!
"Come back early, I still owe you a meal." Director Long said, without looking back, as he walked into the Space passage.
There was no excessive sadness in the farewell, and no determination to die.
Just as Wu Liang said, they all have things they must do, it's just a different fate for each person.
A moment later, the Space passage disappeared.
Only Wu Liang was left standing alone, touching the Immortal Pill of Undying in his pocket, he took it out and tossed it casually with a smile: "Next, it's my turn!"
......
......
"What in the world? The Great Qin Army?"
"Is there something wrong with our official communication device? What's with this bizarre notification?"
"I don't know, I received the message too, hey, check out the city-wide broadcast!"
"..."
All the Official Awakened near the Capital City, holding their positions to fend off the attack of the Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts, were stunned.
The message they heard from the communication device was basically — a batch of reinforcements would assist them in fighting the Fierce Ghosts later, but the reinforcements were the Great Qin Army in Battle Armor wielding Bronze Weapons, and everyone was told not to panic when they saw them— they were allies.
Even the city's broadcast system kept echoing this notification to inform the public.
But this is so damn hard to understand!
What Great Qin Army? Are they filming a time-travel drama here? Are the reinforcements a bunch of cosplayers?
Is the power of the two-dimensional world so formidable now?
After hearing the information on the communication device, Ren Jian Country didn't have time to think more, still alertly scanning his surroundings, with his hands slightly raised, ready to use his Awakened Ability at any moment.
He was now within the influence range of two special Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts.
Located in a library in the Capital City.
Hidden here seemed to be a pair of twin sisters of Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts, with similar appearances and related abilities.
One of them could use blood to paint in books, and anyone who saw those paintings would fall as if lost in a daze.
The other could take out some kind of weapon or object from the paintings, and Ren Jian Country personally saw the latter pull out a blood-stained sword from a book.
Perhaps because of the twin Fierce Ghosts, or maybe they were actually just one ghost pretending, at least Ren Jian Country didn't see them opposing each other.
The number of victims in the library had now reached over ten, including an Official Awakened, and the remaining survivors were huddled behind Ren Jian Country, trembling for Shelter.
Hoo—
Due to the power outage caused by the supernatural event, the library was pitch dark, and with the numerous bookshelves taller than a person blocking the view, it was impossible to observe anything effectively with the naked eye.
Yet, there was a constant eerie whooshing sound swirling around Ren Jian Country.
He could sense that the Fierce Ghosts were trying to confuse him, but he had no choice but to close his eyes and rely only on hearing to sense their positions.
After all, you never know if they'll suddenly rush out from behind a shelf and slap a painting on your face, and not closing your eyes might mean losing your sanity.
Shasha—Shasha—
The sound on the right side became more obvious, indicating the Fierce Ghost was already quite close.
Suddenly, Ren Jian Country clasped his hands and swung them upward sharply!
But instead of defending against the anomaly on the right, the ceiling above his head collapsed with a crash!
"Hmph! You thought you could hide quietly above and fool me?" Ren Jian Country snorted coldly, condensing the fallen rubble into spikes and jabbing fiercely to the side.
Since the arrival of the second Supernatural Calamity, he felt his sensitivity to the surrounding environment had become exaggerated, and his original ability to control soil now allowed him to sense through it.
Even with his eyes closed, he had a thorough understanding of all the happenings inside the library!
Puchi—
The sound of spikes piercing through book pages was heard, evidently the Fierce Ghost was using a painting to shield against the attack.
Yet, the smile at the corners of Ren Jian Country's mouth didn't fade.
Because he knew very well the penetration power of the spikes he controlled with the rubble, mere books would be completely pierced through!
"Hiss!"
As expected, the next moment, a shrill scream of the Fierce Ghost echoed, piercingly sharp like an alarm.
But just as Ren Jian Country was about to capitalize on the advantage, a sudden and unexpected glass shattering sound came from behind him.
Clang—
This brought his entire action to a halt, his mind racing to figure out what was happening.
There should only be a few survivors behind him, right?
And to prevent a surprise attack from behind, he had even placed them in the corner; there should only be a wall behind them, right?
Shattering glass... glass...
Oh no!
Ren Jian Country instantly realized that besides the Fierce Ghost he had just attacked, the one that had been hiding had run outside the library!
She broke in through a window now!
Because there was no contact with the building during the entire process, Ren Jian Country didn't sense her ambush through the soil.
"Stop right there!"
Ren Jian Country shouted loudly, gathering more spikes from the remaining rubble beside him to shoot vigorously towards the broken window.
Yet at this moment, a notebook filled with paintings was thrown from the injured Fierce Ghost's side, flying to Ren Jian Country's face just as he moved.
In the next second, a mass of shields and armor fell out of the paintings out of thin air.
Clang clang clang—
Almost all the spikes hit these suddenly appearing armors.
Even though the spikes, specially condensed, could penetrate them, their speed and power were affected, not enough to reach and hit the Fierce Ghost who broke the window before she could reach the survivors!
Suddenly, Ren Jian Country, grinding his teeth and frantically waving his hands to activate his Awakened Ability, the survivors showed expressions of terror and despair, and the Fierce Ghost rushing with a blood-dripping Sharp Sword was grotesque.
If this scene could be frozen, it would surely be an extremely beautiful oil painting of remarkable splendor.
Alas, this beautiful oil painting would be engulfed by cruel bloodshed in the next moment.
At this critical juncture, the strange sound of shattering glass rang out again!
Clang—
Immediately thereafter, Ren Jian Country saw a scene he couldn't figure out even with racking his brains.
A tall steed neighed and burst through a third-story-high glass, bearing a man clad in ancient Battle Armor, wielding a weapon shimmering with a ghostly green light that looked like a long spear, with a peculiar hairstyle, bellowing "How dare you!"
The man charged in, striking the Red-clothed Fierce Ghost's Sharp Sword with remarkable spear technique, sending it flying!
Simultaneously, with a fluid reverse stab, he pierced right through the Red-clothed Fierce Ghost's chest, pinning the howling, indignant ghost firmly to the wall.
Watching as the Red-clothed Fierce Ghost's scream grew weaker, eventually turning into a piece of paper fluttering to the ground, this must have been the ghost's true form.
Ren Jian Country couldn't help but focus his gaze on the weapon resembling a long spear, initially judging it as Bronze, a type of ancient weapon long since phased out by history—beryllium.
Commonly found in ancient Warring States period, this flat-stemmed bronze beryllium was mainly popular in the Qin State at that time.
Ren Jian Country cherished this odd historical knowledge like a treasure, for before the supernatural resurgence, he had even planned to become a history teacher.
But now this knowledge left him at a loss.
Why did this person, looking like someone from ancient times, arrive on horseback to rescue them?
Suddenly, a fragment of the notification from the communication device flashed in Ren Jian Country's mind—
"In a moment the Great Qin Army will enter the city to assist!"
"Valiant Old Qin, joining together for the country's peril!"
