Chapter 371: Chapter 85: Xu Shu Makes a Direct Impact on the Cycle Anomaly (Seeking Monthly Pass)

In the dust-streaked, abandoned hotel, you and Nie Qiba faced each other in confusion, you on top, Nie Qiba below, bewildered by your questions, utterly unaware of the year it was tonight.

After your explanation, Nie Qiba still couldn’t come to a sudden realization. She started mumbling to herself with her head bowed, and a moment later, her eyes suddenly widened, "Impossible! Who, who killed Lord Bahamut?! Why would he die in the realm of the Divine Kingdom?!"

She looked extremely pained; seemingly, her relationship with Bahamut was hot with illicit passion, beyond normal friendship. Having lost her beloved, she gritted her teeth and said to you, "The lord is dead, I cannot live alone. I am going to make you enter the Divine Kingdom and accept the lord’s punishment! Go and repent, sinner!"

Then there were some incomprehensible words like "what’s it, yayaboye, umnagaga..." that you couldn’t understand at all.

The next moment, her body burst into flames, turned to ash by the black fire, and at the same time you arrived once again in another dimension. The once dilapidated hotel instantly became as good as new, and concurrently, you heard an alarm, "Emergency announcement! The night is about to fall..."

"Another one came in!"

Surprised, knowing from a previous misfortune that you were about to be expelled, you did not leave the hotel but instead made your way to the concealed corner behind the door. You were determined to find out if any of the Tang family were here.

As you suspected, you had just turned the corner when you saw a figure entering through the window like a broken kite, climbing in on his own with a gaping wound visible on his abdomen.

At the same time, you caught a fleeting glimpse of a serpentine tail disappearing outside the door. You suspected it might be another Nie Qiba, and it seemed that this unfortunate member of the Tang family had been wounded by the creature while escaping to this area.

From the size and strange shape of his abdominal wound, you suspected that the Nie Qiba had stabbed its thick tail through this person.

"No time for explanations, brother, I’m here to rescue you. Quickly tell me where the boundary of the territory is!" you said as you rushed over, trying to gather information.

Nice work! Not even bringing a single bottle of medicine, yet shouting about saving lives. You could fake it even more if you tried!

But there was nothing you could do about it, your nun’s holy water was all used up, you were utterly without any medicine. You could only try to give him a sliver of hope.

However, he gave you a strange look, gasped, and said, "Who are you? I haven’t seen you before. You’re not one of our allies! Did you fall into this Infinite Law Ring before us?"

"Less chatter, quickly tell me where the boundary is. If you don’t, I can’t save you!" you urged.

"Alright then, I...I’ll tell you, the boundary is over there..." He raised his hand pointing west, but before he could finish, you felt the domain oppressing you again, you were being repulsed as that ethereal voice cursed at you, "Get the hell out of here!"

All around you crumbled, and you found yourself back in reality, amidst the black ashes and viscous remnants of Nie Qiba’s self-immolation and the old hall. The Tai Chu Scroll marked a date for your ease, today was the morning of November 30th, New Calendar Year 18, the sun was shining brightly, and you were fuming.

Without even a moment to lament the disappearance of the other dimension, you hurriedly rushed back behind the door. The Tang family man with the punctured abdomen indeed appeared there.

He looked around with a startled expression at the circle of wooden plaques surrounding him like cattle trapped in a pen. Each board bore the same sentence: If you don’t reveal the territory’s limit, your whole family dies!

Facing such a vicious curse, the Tang family man gazed at you with a baffled expression. Recognizing you, he stammered, "Brother... you escaped with me... It’s a pity, you can live, but I... I must die..."

You hastened to console him, "Brother, don’t be sad, you haven’t finished telling me where the boundary is to the west! Hurry, don’t waste time, you have less than half a minute. Tell me quickly, and I’ll ensure you are properly buried."

You were brutally honest, directly telling him there was no saving him and to await death, but in exchange, you could provide him with a Land of Burial. Most people would have resigned themselves to their fate at this point.

However, what you didn’t expect was that upon hearing your words, the Tang family man’s eyes widened in shock, and he screamed, "What did you say? How do you know I’ll die in half a minute? No, no, no! We’re still inside the Law Ring! We haven’t escaped yet! Aaahhhh!"

He immediately succumbed to frenzy, madly screaming for a few seconds before he died prematurely.

"?"

Goddamnit, you really?

Just flat-out refusing to tell me the exact scope of this bizarre territory, huh!

Watching the man on the screen die, Xu Shu couldn’t help but grind his teeth in resentment.

Damnit, this is too much!

But the man’s reaction did have a semblance of a small animal’s instinctive response.

It seemed that he was hypersensitive to the fact that he had prematurely learned about certain things, which led to the collapse of his psyche.

"Infinite Law Ring? What’s that?"

"I remember the Death God Althias has another title, called King of Infinity, and the boss here is Tailed Ksitigarbha..."

"Could it be that Althias fused with Ksitigarbha’s power, or maybe they both succumbed to mutual destruction, and some strange entity took advantage of the situation, combining their powers to become Tailed Ksitigarbha?"
