Su Changxing suddenly opened his eyes and saw a zombie in the darkness not far away. His pupils contracted sharply, and his state of deep sleep ended abruptly. Intense pain surged through his body, causing him to stiffen and fall forward.

His mind was still exceptionally clear, and he thought to himself, this is bad. This was completely unexpected for him. According to his estimation, the state of deep sleep could have lasted another two or three minutes without problem.

This sudden accident almost cut off all his paths to survival. The Mysterious Shop had refreshed this time not with auxiliary tools like flash grenades, but with a type of healing ointment.

He could foresee that in such a severely injured condition, it was virtually impossible to shake off these Hunters.

Although filled with despair.

Su Changxing still struggled to his feet, trembling hands loading bullets into the magazine one by one, as unfrozen blood slid down his forehead, blurring his vision.

To survive was his Faith, and also his greatest Faith.

He turned his head back, reflecting on the events of the past few days, realizing he had involved himself too much. In fact, he only needed to take care of himself.

After becoming an Extraordinary, he wouldn't be infected and turned into a zombie.

He only needed to hide in one place and wait quietly for the Doomsday Game to end. There was no need to save Chen Ling and others, nor to kill the "Tailor."

Surviving here might not be such a difficult thing, it was just he himself had complicated the matter.

Su Changxing looked back and saw more than a dozen Hunters had caught up, a hint of pain finally showing on his usually calm face.

A somewhat inexplicable pain, perhaps merely expressing regret for life.

Su Changxing leaned against a utility pole, clocking his pistol, holding it with both hands, aiming at the nearest Hunter, and pulling the trigger.

"Click~"

"Click~"

The pistol jammed.

He looked at the pistol in his hand and fell silent. Sure enough, there was some presence watching him in secret, seemingly manipulating everything around.

Many things today seemed very deliberate, starting from when he left the settlement. He had killed many people, but it was as if they were destined to die in the first place.

Like a ceremony.

A strange thought flashed through Su Changxing's mind, the task was called Hunt to Rule. Now, the outcome was certain. The king was definitely not these Hunters he killed, but the existence behind them.

The Hunters all looked towards this monster without making a move, surrounding Su Changxing, seemingly knowing he had lost the ability to resist.

Su Changxing saw the Hunters in front of him part ways, and an old man walked out from behind. His hair was partly gray, slightly aging, but his body appeared robust, standing straight.

The old man's eyes were dark and profound, his face full of smiles, "Young man from the Otherworld, you are really remarkable, to persist for so long, beyond expectation, truly a world favored."

A world favored?

Su Changxing put down his pistol, leaning against the utility pole, scrutinizing the old man before him as the information from "True Knowledge" flashed quickly.

[Human (Extraordinary): Interferer Tier Nine (Extreme Rank), Healthy, Comfortable. An extremely terrifying position, he can make reasonable things unreasonable and unreasonable things reasonable, not strong in combat, and very difficult to advance]

[He is undergoing some unknown change]

[He is becoming stronger]

······

Su Changxing was stupefied, finding it unscientific, that a Tier Nine could possess such a bug-like position, completely on a different level from ordinary positions, more like a Tier Eight position.

Moreover, this person was actually human and not a half-twisted human, indicating that the old man before him had not been influenced by the giant hand.

He broke free from the High Tier influence, a hardly imaginable feat.

However, the opponent might not be as strong as he imagined, having never shown up from start to finish, if strong, why not just kill him outright?

Facing death.

Su Changxing's expression relaxed instead, lowering his head slightly, a look of indifference as he said:

"So what's the point of spending such a huge price to kill me, just because I killed your boss? Ha, you guys are quite loyal."

The old man's aura changed by the moment, the sphere in his hand rolling faster, smiling as he said:

"Of course not, it's just that everyone plays a role. However, you played your role exceedingly well, significantly increasing the success rate. Speaking of which, I should thank you."

Su Changxing was silent for a few seconds, then a faint smile arose on his face as he calmly said, "So you went through all this trouble just to advance."

The "True Knowledge" information changed greatly.

[Human (Extraordinary): ?? Politician, Tier Eight, Healthy, Comfortable.]

The old man completed the advancement within merely tens of seconds, becoming a Tier Eight Extraordinary.

He easily figured it out, everything tonight was this person's orchestrated ceremony for advancement.

The old man showed a look of astonishment, looking at Su Changxing with surprise, fully not expecting him to uncover the truth so rapidly, saying:

"Huh, you are even smarter than I thought, but it's a pity you're at my mercy."

Su Changxing stared at him, then suddenly laughed, "You wouldn't have also tampered with your previous boss, right? I felt something was off, turns out there's a traitor among you."

At these words, the surrounding Hunters paused, looking towards the old man, but none spoke or acted.

Evidently, the old man had completely grasped control of this group of Hunters.

The old man put away his expression, looking at him calmly, regretfully saying, "Pity you discovered it only now, you're really too late, things might have been different a little earlier."

Su Changxing glanced at the pistol in his hand, pondering, "Anyway, your work is done, why not let me go?"

"······"

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The old man thought for a while, earnestly saying, "If you were a bit weaker, letting you go wouldn't be impossible, as a precaution, you know."

Conversations between smart people often became more and more tactful because they already understood each other's intentions.

The old man gestured, turning around to walk away.

"Crash~"

But at this moment, an air current explosion occurred amidst the crowd.

"Bang~"

This was not a gunshot, but a girl's loud voice simulating a gunshot, filled with a strong sense of mockery.

Su Changxing's body flew backward under the impact of the air current, only feeling that this person was adding drama to herself, sneaking an attack yet forcefully adding sound effects to her attack.

However, he noticed that this voice seemed somewhat familiar as if he'd heard it somewhere before.

Scenes flickered through his mind, settling on the blue-haired girl in the Mysterious Shop, A01712, waving and greeting, "Hi, good evening."

Then, crashing to the ground, he looked up to see a girl standing with hands in her pockets under the bright Blood Moon.

The moon was a half-circle, large like a disc, making her hair appear blood-red, glistening with rings of sheen.
