Chapter 23: It's Over, Everything Is Over!

A faint light flashed over his body.

Tang Luo used up merit power, cleaning the blood off his body.

As for the hat, it got a tear, so he no longer wanted it.

Buying a new one later would be much more convenient.

If his bald head weren't still slightly conspicuous, Tang Luo wouldn't keep wearing the hat.

Without rushing to press the elevator's up switch, Tang Luo loosened his grip and dropped the two bullets he had caught.

Another bullet, due to recoil, Sangkude fired off-target, hitting the wall.

He walked to the other side of the table.

Tang Luo looked at the black revolver Sangkude had just used.

The gun successfully caught his attention.

He bent over, picked up the black revolver and held it, and some information naturally surfaced in Tang Luo's mind.

Just like the mission information that appeared initially——

Ominous

An unidentified revolver, with golden patterns engraved on its body, symbolizing the meaning of 'Ominous'.

Its successive owners seem to have all died unnatural deaths.

Additional skills:

One, Blood Qi Bullet.

It consumes the user's qi and blood to form temporary blood bullets, requiring no reloading.

Two, Ending Storm.

It fires 6000 bullets in one minute, enough to shred everything before it.

Cooldown time is 10 hours, with no cost and no recoil.

——Grasp it, grasp death.

"Interesting."

Tang Luo chuckled, felt around Sangkude's corpse, and took off the specially made holster for the revolver named Ominous.

He stored Ominous, turned around the room, and Tang Luo walked back into the elevator.

The elevator began to rise slowly, some bullets and casings rolled onto the floor, making a clinking sound.

After a while, the underground room returned to calm.

He did not choose to fight his way out.

Tang Luo again used the Merit Jade Lotus, concealing his form, and left the manor.

The merit power gained from this trip was not much.

But it still far exceeded what he had consumed.

Tang Luo is not a miser.

Using merit power to heal injuries will not be an instantaneous process.

During this period, Tang Luo will not completely avoid using merit power; he will use it only to heal wounds.

When it's needed, he certainly cannot be stingy.

"Pa!"

Li Liang slapped his face, producing a crisp sound, causing Zhou Zhen Guo and Chu Zhongtian to look at him.

"Are there mosquitoes? You guys weren't bitten, were you? \" Li Liang asked.

Zhou Zhen Guo and Chu Zhongtian shook their heads simultaneously.

Unlike the real world, the time in this mission world counts as winter already.

Although there is no heavy snowfall, the weather is quite cold.

Where did the mosquitoes come from?

"Probably my blood is just tastier; I've attracted mosquitoes since childhood. \" Li Liang said somewhat tragically.

Li Liang said somewhat tragically.

"All done."

Just then, a voice came, causing Zhou Zhen Guo and Chu Zhongtian to immediately raise their guns, then lower them again.

Master Xuanzang has returned.

"Master, did you kill Count Sangkude? \" Looking at the clean Tang Luo, the only difference from when he left earlier being that he had lost his hat, Chu Zhongtian couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm."

Tang Luo nodded, "Just right—he invited the other members of the organization, and I wiped them all out."

Zhou Zhen Guo looked toward the manor.

There it remained a scene of peace and prosperity, with music and dance.

It doesn't look like they just experienced a massacre.

"I also got something."

Tang Luo opened his coat, took out Ominous, and lightly handed it to Zhou Zhen Guo.

Zhou Zhen Guo instinctively took it, then his body shuddered, then shuddered again.

He almost struck out.

"This gun is really cool."

Chu Zhongtian turned on his flashlight, got a clear look at Ominous, and sincerely exclaimed.

"It's not just about being cool; this is equipment."

Zhou Zhen Guo said.

"Equipment?" Chu Zhong Tian felt a bit strange, then realized, "This is what you said—apart from mission completion rewards, the benefits obtained during a mission are equipment."

Zhou Zhen Guo said: "No, the benefits obtained in the mission world are varied; equipment is only one of them. The rewards for completing a mission are not necessarily all skills; there is also a chance to obtain equipment."

"What's the difference from an ordinary gun?" Chu Zhong Tian asked.

Zhou Zhen Guo looked at Tang Luo, saw he had no objection, and handed the Ominous to Chu Zhong Tian.

He felt doubtful inside.

He guessed that Master Xuanzang was a veteran pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

Given the other party's strength, it must be so.

But he seemed not to truly understand the god-demons game.

Even if pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, after obtaining a piece of equipment, would they just casually hand it over to someone else?

With a look of "please help me answer this."

Abnormal!

Pretending isn't that much pretending.

Even if showing off, it falls into the category of showing off to pretend to be a fool.

Could it be that extraordinary beings who are not god-demons still exist in the real world?

"So awesome!"

Zhou Zhen Guo was thinking, and Chu Zhong Tian, who was holding the Ominous, let out an exclamation.

As he examined the revolver in his hand, his delighted expression was just like a little boy seeing his desired toy.

Mixed in was regret that could not be concealed.

Because this toy was not his.

"This is equipment."

Zhou Zhen Guo explained: "No matter what, following Master Xuanzang's intention will surely not be wrong—'Unlike the guns we obtained. It is truly special, something that can be taken out of the mission world and brought into the next mission world for use.'"

Zhou Zhen Guo previously gave an example with a dagger.

But the dagger he used as an example actually cannot be taken out of the mission world.

Just like weapons from the real world, they likewise cannot be brought into the mission world.

Before entering a mission, being fully armed is basically useless.

Because they will be stripped down to "spotless," retaining only some basic items.

Basically, only a full set of clothes and shoes will remain.

Last time Zhou Zhen Guo stuffed a nail clipper into his clothing pocket, yet it wasn't brought in.

Likewise, leaving the mission world, even if you have a ton of gold on your head,

after returning to the real world, you are still empty-handed.

Only equipment and a few other items can be freely carried.

Wanting to buy low and sell high, become a profiteer, and walk the path to wealth does not exist.

Wanting to tell whether an item is equipment is simple.

After some contact, or holding it in hand (if small), if it is equipment, relevant information will appear.

No relevant information.

No matter how flashy or useful it looks, even if one strike splits the whole continent, it still does not belong to the category of equipment.

Zhou Zhen Guo knew about equipment and had seen it personally.

But this was his first time truly coming into contact with equipment.

Chu Zhong Tian glanced at the revolver again, reluctant to part with it, and handed it back to Tang Luo.

"Do all pieces of equipment come with attached skills?" Tang Luo put the Ominous away again.

"Probably." Zhou Zhen Guo said, "Actually, I only know this much, I've only seen it, but this is still my first time truly coming into contact with it."

Because equipment reveals information, no one would lightly hand over their owned equipment to others.

"Hmm." Tang Luo nodded.

"Rest assured, Master Xuanzang, we are definitely not leaking information." Zhou Zhen Guo and Chu Zhong Tian expressed this firmly.

Maybe this is a test.

If it proves they are tight-lipped trustworthy people, they will surely still be able to cling to a big thigh later.

"It's fine."

Tang Luo didn't mind at all letting the two know the detailed information of the Ominous.

For Zhou Zhen Guo and Chu Zhong Tian.

This Ominous is surely the equipment they desire.

But for Tang Luo, it isn't that important.

It belongs to the category of something that adds icing on the cake.

If we think with a dark mindset.

In the future, when Tang Luo encounters an enemy, the enemy also obtains the Ominous's skill information from those two.

After guarding against the Ominous in every way, they are then punched to death by Tang Luo.

This is also an "interesting" matter.

On the other side, Li Liang didn't come over, listened silently, and counted it as learning.

The matter having been settled, the four slowly walked toward the direction of the small town.

There was only one road, with fairly dense grass and trees on both sides.

But it hadn't spread onto the road; after all, it was considered an important road connecting the small town to the outside world.

It was still the connecting road between Sangdeke Count's Manor and the small town.

It definitely needs to be properly maintained.

They had walked for about half an hour.

The night breeze brought a bit of noisy sound, seemingly coming from the manor's direction.

"It's only being discovered now?" Zhou Zhenguo thought to himself.

Since Xuanzang Grand Master said he had already wiped out the "organization" completely,

That also meant that at least five or six people had died tonight.

Only if these important members died together with Sangdeke, leaving only a couple of genuine small cats, could it be considered a complete eradication.

Returning to the inn, the night had grown deeper, approaching midnight.

The inn was the one they stayed at on the first night, namely the one where Bi Wan hui went missing.

Kai qiang shou Jieke had the ability to possess.

It doesn't matter which inn you stay at, frankly.

Old John's disappearance made the innkeeper somewhat uneasy, and Tang Luo and the others had an ingratiating attitude.

To some extent, it aided Tang Luo and their actions.

As for the original several rooms,

They had been changed by Tang Luo into the largest and most luxurious room in the inn.

It could accommodate all four of them, preventing Kai qiang shou Jieke from picking them off one by one.

The next day.

Zhou Zhenguo frowned deeply, exhaling and inhaling clouds.

It was just like being scolded at work by a boss ten years younger, then coming home to hear his wife complain that Old Wang next door had taken the whole family to the Maldives for fun.

The high school daughter returned late at night after being missing, saying she had a boyfriend who had just gotten out of prison, and everyone called him Long ge, which gave him face.

An utterly miserable middle-aged balding uncle.

Beside him, Chu Zhongtian asked Zhou Zhenguo for a cigarette, then nearly choked himself to death on it.

"If you won't, then don't smoke; it's not good stuff—I used to quit altogether." Zhou Zhenguo said.

"Secondhand is no match for firsthand."

Chu Zhongtian said, "Uncle Zhou, how did things come to this?"

Their location was the inn's lobby.

The main gate stood open, allowing a view of the outside crowd.

Speaking of which, it was still the first time so many people had gathered on the street.

From leaving the tomb chamber until now, the small town had always felt cold and desolate.

Aside from last night's banquet, this period was the liveliest moment they had witnessed.

Fragments of the crowd's chatter occasionally drifted into everyone's ears.

"Everyone's dead..."

"It's just like a slaughterhouse; the investigators sent to Gelan chang, nine out of ten end up vomiting there."

"It's over, everything's over!"
