Chapter 332: Chapter 72 Death Is Like the Wind, Always by My Side (Looking for Monthly Passes, 5k)_3

[In 2093, during the "Call of the Dead" case, a bunch of guys worshipping the pale death god barged into your new campus...]

Crap!

Isn’t this the "Death is like the wind, always by my side" thing?

Watching the screen occasionally flash scenes of the case, Xu Shu truly found it laughably absurd.

The new campus would probably be crying and screaming, "Don’t come over here!" if they knew the inside story.

Although he had always known that this life pattern was not any kind of blessing, but rather a complete curse, this was just a bit too damn outrageous.

And what’s most crucial is, it would have been one thing if it were just endlessly encountering these death cases.

But where the hell are the promised mystical powers?

"Arthur," as the last descendent of the former Biochemical Mother "Revelation·Zero One," had faced death attack after death attack. Each time, Xu Shu barely survived by the skin of his teeth.

Yet after so long, he still hadn’t awakened any kind of mystical power?

And more strangely,

this world clearly had some Extraordinary Powers invading, like that bizarrely resurrected witch.

However, Xu Shu noticed that including his foster mother Christina, the agents of these research institutes, while having the ability to successfully resolve abnormal problems, relied entirely on various firearms and equipment.

"Still in the era of using technology to fight magic?"

"This won’t do, only magic can defeat magic~"

"It seems the human world hasn’t yet given birth to what’s called ’magic.’ I thought becoming a Transcendent in this legend would be easy, looks like I celebrated too early..."

Xu Shu felt somewhat disheartened.

The "Death is like the wind" life pattern was indeed a bit too terrifying; luckily, Raccoon City was chaotic enough, so although the cases around him were frequent, he was not yet deemed an anomaly.

But Xu Shu suspected that if things kept going this way, he wouldn’t last much longer.

Mortals facing Extraordinary Powers had a very high mortality rate.

If he continued like this, he might end up like "Xiangjiang Passing By," killed in a second on the road to pursuing the Transcendence.

"But there aren’t many good solutions, it seems that humans in this world have chosen the path of technology to subdue demons; relying on external objects is unwise..."

"Regardless, first I should try to enter the Abnormal Creature Research Institute; at least I’ll encounter more weird tales..."

"Heh, in the last legend, I chased after eerie incidents for most of my life without success, and now I don’t even need to search; they come to me. That’s the confidence that fate brings!"

Xu Shu let out a wry laugh when suddenly, it seemed like an opportunity had come.

[The first snowfall of 2096 came later than usual; winter didn’t come until spring, on such a gorgeous day, you stepped into the halls of knowledge, the university.]

[You’re so awesome, throughout your life, you’ve encountered various horror attacks and cult sacrifices over thirty times, you truly live up to the name of ’Death God’s little schoolboy.’ The ’pale death god’ cult could have made great progress if they had just worshiped you, but they’re too ignorant.]

[On your first day at university, you confessed to a busty cutie you just met and got rejected. She told you, "Why don’t you drop your pants and take a piss to see who you really are?" When you pulled down your pants, she swallowed and said, "We can give it a try."]

[That night, you indeed gave it a good try, over and over, and in this life, you finally lost your virginity.]

[Just as you were preparing for a month of revelry every night, you woke up to find yourself in a cave in the wilderness, tied to a pillar, with a bunch of people in black triangular hoods dancing around a shoddy straw effigy, chanting incomprehensible lyrics in some dialect.]

[You noticed there were people tied to four other pillars: a sleazy-looking junkie, an innocent and cute girl, a cold-faced man with glasses who seemed intelligent, and a slutty, provocatively dressed woman with heavy makeup. Including you, there were exactly five people.]

["Alright, ran into cultists again, looking to sacrifice me," you sighed. The scene that would terrify the average person seemed entirely expected to you. New school, new cultists, death is like the wind, always by your side.]

[You also noticed that your one-night stand was there too, and lo and behold, she was a part of the cultists.]

[Obviously, you had encountered a deceptive seduction, but at least you didn’t lose out—you had her begging for mercy last night.]

[However, the price of last night’s excitement was death; you were going to be sacrificed.]

[The other four offerings were trembling in fear, some begging for mercy, some sharply telling them they’re going to Hell, but only you were calm, looking at your one-night stand and asking, "Babes, what do you call this sect? What are you going to do now? Give me an introduction."]

["..."] She was taken aback by your question, and the other cultists also paused, almost thrown off by you.]

[The others continued to dance, and the woman, considering a night’s husband owes a hundred days’ favor—though you were worth much more than a hundred days—felt, coupled with you being tied up and thus quite safe that she could tell you.]

[So she came over and whispered, "Let me introduce you to our great Heavenly Father and Savior, the ruler of the Abyssal Sea Floor, the preternaturally dual-faced Master of Space, controlling souls and the eternal existence of reincarnation—the King of Infinity, Althias!"]

["Please believe that in this world, there is no good or evil, no true order, only desires are real and exist. Just by offering five natural offerings—a girl, a gambler, a criminal, a scholar, a whore—that’s you guys—we can summon our great master to satisfy everyone’s desires..."]

What the heck?

Althias?

No, that’s not the point.

Their description, this naturally dual-faced thing, why does it seem so familiar...

Watching the woman fervently explain in front of the screen, Xu Shu suddenly paused.

It wasn’t just the doctrine of this sect that felt extraordinarily familiar, as if he’d seen it somewhere before.

The bizarre incantations also gave him an intense sensation of déjà vu, and they seemed incredibly familiar.

It was like...
