Chapter 364: Chapter 83: Trinity, Sweeping Away the Hordes of Demons (Seeking Monthly Pass)

At this witching hour, the owner of the guesthouse was secretly performing a sinister ceremony, turning living people into prawn-like creatures wrapped in human skin.

And through their bizarre praying methods, they successfully opened the "Mysterious Book," summoning a beast with both name and reputation to aid them in this evil ritual.

Was this a twisting of human nature or a loss of morals?

Xu Shu didn’t understand.

Nor did he need to.

He only knew that a massacre was about to happen.

"But... wait a bit longer!"

Xu Shu glanced inside, where a group of cultists had once again started to kneel on the ground, muttering incomprehensible spells with their eyes dangerously narrowed.

Just now, the Ghost Nun Suji Herrera had appeared for a moment, not allowing him to fully confirm her state.

He decided to wait for her to appear again before determining whether to strike or to retreat.

Thinking back, Xu Shu truly hadn’t expected these deep-sea prawns to parasitize and control human bodies in such a manner.

Originally, he had thought they were a special type of species that actively parasitized hosts.

But as it turned out, there was human intervention involved.

It seems like his collection of seemingly useless knowledge had just grown.

Not far away, Xu Shu had every reason to suspect that the group of prawns he had encountered at the supply point at (19,6) were also artificially created in the same way.

No, there was no need for suspicion, it surely had to be the case.

But that wasn’t the main point.

The main point was, why was Suji Herrera here? What was her connection to this group of deep-sea creatures?

Xu Shu knew that these deep-sea prawns were associated with the Deep Sea Octopus Brother and were part of the twisted creatures summoned through Paper Mache Buddha rituals; they had a subordinate relationship to the "Tailed Ksitigarbha" that he was recently studying.

But this peculiar monster, "Suji Herrera," who could shout "TVB" and emit dynamic light waves, was the same creature he had encountered in "Xiangjiang Past."

How did these two completely different world entities come together?

"It seems related ruins from ’Xiangjiang Past’ have appeared, and just so happen to be near this area. The Mysterious Book somehow left the ruins and was obtained by these people."

"In that case, perhaps I can use them to trace back to the entrance of those ruins."

"If I am able to find Chen Que inside, I could gain another Dao Mark."

"Based on the ranking rules of Dao Marks, Chen Que counts as my ’Primary Dao Mark,’ which I could use to upgrade my title."

"Speaking of which... the legendary world of ’Xiangjiang Past,’ along with ’Ruins of the Dead,’ and ’Kyoto Collapse,’ could they possibly be within the same world?"

"Hmm, it’s not an impossibility. ’Xiangjiang Past’ happens after the year 2055, my alt Chen Que lived around the years 2121 to 2122..."

"Both ’Ruins of the Dead’ and ’Kyoto Collapse’ ended in the year 2124."

"On the timeline, indeed, the same chronology has been used. I can’t rule out the possibility that the three legendary stories are actually set in the same parallel space..."

Thinking to this, Xu Shu’s heart stirred.

If he wanted to prove whether it was a coincidence.

Actually, it would be quite simple.

Just capture these cultists and interrogate them directly.

Of course, they might not know much. The key question still revolved around that Ghost Nun Suji Herrera.

At that moment, a series of painful screams echoed down the corridor.

Xu Shu knew that the man in black who went out to check had also fallen victim to Narrow Sleeve Guanyin.

"Hehe, using Narrow Sleeve Guanyin against these rookies who aren’t even Transcendents is overkill. If I were them, I would be on full alert by now. After two accidents in a row, they must..."

Before Xu Shu could complete his thought, he saw another cultist stand up and head straight to the door to check on the situation.

"..."

His expression turned to surprise, and he silently gave a "6" gesture.

As seconds and minutes ticked by, and the subdued screams from the corridor continued, Xu Shu knew that the follower who had just gone out was also killed by Narrow Sleeve Guanyin.

But the people inside were too occupied to care, for as their chanting continued, a rustling sound began resonating in the air once more.

It was as if some invisible creature were gradually approaching.

"...huh!" Xu Shu knew that thing was coming again, he inhaled deeply, his muscles tensed, ready for combat.

The "Mysterious Book" ’s beastly teeth began to pop out one by one, the book itself started flipping pages on its own, landing on a certain page.

Then, a head wearing a nun’s hood emerged.

Without a word, she glanced at the believers kneeling before her, then her skewed head turned toward the woman bound to the chair.

She opened her mouth, and it appeared as if countless insects were crawling around inside, with several mouthparts wriggling about, she whispered softly, "Sss..."

The moment the Ghost Nun spoke, she emitted the distinctive ’curse’ aura of a superhuman monster.

This aura was enough to chill the common person to the bone, like the Esoteric believers present. After Su Ji’s appearance, each of them buried their heads lower, seemingly not daring to look at her directly.

Only Xu Shu’s eyes lit up.

With her voice, her aura and power were completely revealed.
