Chapter 60: Chapter Sixty Just Now I Deceived You

Ahhhhh!

The piercing, agonized scream was enough to make one faint, echoing throughout the villa.

Four not-yet-fully-formed figures were shattered by Tang Luo's palm strike.

They turned into a large amount of fragments that fell down.

These fragments seemed like flesh and blood, yet had the sharpness of glass shards.

They left many scratches on the ground.

Tang Luo's upward momentum remained unchanged as he grabbed the mirror and pulled it down.

The mirror kept vibrating and "struggling" in Tang Luo's hand.

Streams of yin energy burst from it, invading Tang Luo's body.

Tang Luo clenched his palm tightly.

Cracks appeared on the mirror surface, and the agonized scream grew even sharper.

Yet it only echoed within the villa, making it seem exceedingly strange.

Dark red blood began to seep from the cracks.

It slid down the mirror surface to the ground, releasing puffs of white smoke with a constant "hiss-hiss" sound.

In no time, the ground was corroded by the flowing dark blood into countless pits.

The cracks on the mirror surface multiplied.

From the original linear pattern, it became a net-like structure.

The dark blood had lessened somewhat, as if nearly "dried up."

The agonized scream also began to weaken.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, Tang Luo's palm fully closed.

The bronze mirror shattered completely into numerous fragments, falling to the ground.

This mirror demon was now truly dead.

He flicked his right hand, shaking off the dark blood clinging to it entirely.

Stronger than imagined……though lacking in vital energy, these ghosts and monsters relying on "blood food" manage quite well. Merit power arose, absorbed by the Merit Jade Lotus, Tang Luo gained little information, instead slightly frowning.

Don't think he easily crushed the mirror demon.

For an ordinary person, touching it means death.

A God-Demon Walker who has undergone six missions might be able to resist one or two.

But to truly inflict damage on the mirror demon, skills are likely indispensable.

Even if the mirror demon's true form were replaced by a road roller or hydraulic press to crush it, no cracks would appear on it.

Its strength exceeded Tang Luo's expectations.

"Who hung the mirror up there?" The mirror demon's true form hung midair, feeling more like a human act.

The mirror demon cannot be considered a high-end ghost with awakened spiritual wisdom.

At least the one Tang Luo killed does not qualify.

It's unlikely to have done such a thing.

With no clues, Tang Luo walked outward while pulling out his phone.

He dialed Qin Menglan's number.

He is an organizational member and now needs the organization's help to clean up.

He mentioned nothing about the God-Demon Game related matters, simply summarizing the evening's events.

Qin Menglan agreed to handle the aftermath.

He arrived at the gate of another villa courtyard.

The unconscious Wang Shuishui lay on the ground, beside her was the woman impersonating a ghost.

"You……I've already called the police!"

Seeing Tang Luo reappear, the person hurriedly said, voice trembling.

Utterly lacking in intimidation.

"Quite a coincidence, I am too." Tang Luo smiled and waved his phone.

Though there was no double joy.

But at least he saved one and a half people, plus killing the mirror demon.

The gain was still not bad.

The distance to "For the master, only one success force remains" is already not far.

With one success force, one wants to fight when wanting to fight, spit blood when wanting to loaf, start loafing, very perfect.

As a master, one cannot steal the disciple's spotlight.

If the disciple cannot beat the BOSS and the master goes up to fight it, what kind of talk is that?

If one can beat it, fine; if not, it's truly embarrassing to lose face.

Naturally, one must remain with only one success force, legally loaf, and yield the stage.

"Wait, my several disciples are not here!"

Upon thinking of the key point, Tang Luo's smile vanished instantly.

During the westward journey, to become stronger, he couldn't loaf.

Now injured and without disciples nearby, he still couldn't loaf.

In this lifetime, am I destined to be a toiling fate?

Tang Luo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the distance, the faint sound of an alarm bell drifted over.

————

"Mirror Demon?" Qin Menglan's brows furrowed into a "chuan" character.

"Mm, and I suspect someone did it deliberately," Tang Luo said.

"Understood, I'll have someone investigate," Qin Menglan nodded.

It had been ten-odd days since that night's supernatural exploration.

The matter was perfectly resolved by Walk Into Science.

Qin Menglan came over, firstly to hear Tang Luo explain in detail what exactly had happened.

Secondly, to deliver his credentials.

The third reason was that the gathering time was approaching.

Coincidentally, Tang Luo had stirred up a bit of trouble on this end.

Since it involved a Destiny Holder, Qin Menglan came over in person.

The credentials brought were an external press pass, and the consultant identity for the Walk Into Science column.

There was also a special work credential.

When encountering matters requiring contact with the authorities, it could be used.

Worth mentioning, aside from the press pass, the names on the identity documents were all "Xuanzang".

Many who joined the Walk Into Science's Gods and Demons Walk have dual identities.

Among them, the "false identity" can be used when completing Walk Into Science tasks, and at gatherings and interactions among Gods and Demons Walk members, they also appear with this identity.

For example, Tang Luo's "Master Xuanzang".

The true identity is completely severed from those matters.

Gods and Demons Walk members with the means, to sever things more thoroughly and avoid implicating their relatives and friends, will even appear with two completely different appearances.

Aside from a few contacts like Qin Menglan, most other Gods and Demons Walk members don't know that Person A and Person B are actually the same person.

Tang Luo, however, appears completely with his true face without any scruples.

Accurately speaking, he doesn't worry in the slightest that his Gods and Demons Walk identity will bring any mishap in real life.

Even, he plans to expose his identity as a Destiny Holder.

Why? Naturally, to fish.

To make those bad guys rush in like moths to a flame.

Cast a wide net, catch more fish.

Among the Gods and Demons Walk members who target Tang Luo for his Destiny or profit, the probability of villains appearing is certainly higher.

Tang Luo plans to be the brightest star in the Gods and Demons Walk's night sky.

Nothing can cover his radiance.

You motherfucker come hit me!

Sitting at home, merit falls from heaven — just thinking about it makes him happy.

"Are you sure you want to dress like that?"

Qin Menglan looked at Tang Luo, dressed in a magnificent monk's robe like he was going to a comic convention, and didn't want to walk with him at all.

Qin Menglan looked at Tang Luo, dressed in a magnificent monk's robe as if heading to a comic convention, and didn't want to walk with him at all.

Tang Luo said.

His freely grown hair had been styled; the current Tang Luo's looks had gone up another level.

"... Too exaggerated," Qin Menglan said.

This isn't a matter of handsome or not, okay?

"I'm the Open Light Society's president and sole employee; I am my own advertisement," Tang Luo argued confidently.

"Dress like that during Gods and Demons missions," Qin Menglan said helplessly, "we need to keep a low profile."

Feels like other Destiny Holders are all very low-key in the real world.

What's with this guy?

"Fine."

Tang Luo thought for a moment, returned to his room, stuffed the clothes into his suitcase, and changed into casual wear.

Him being high-profile wasn't an issue.

But this time he was with Qin Menglan; dragging her into the spotlight too wouldn't be good.

She came all this way, sending money and sending opportunities to gain merit.

Tang Luo felt he needed to consider things for Qin Menglan's sake.

Tang Luo felt he needed to give Qin Menglan some consideration.

Looking at Tang Luo walking out again, Qin Menglan instantly felt much more comfortable.

That getup just now was really too eye-catching.

Just short of a golden light behind his head.

Boarded the plane.

Tang Luo's eyes bulged like copper bells, shooting out lightning-sharp acuity; his ears stood up like antennae, listening for every suspicious sound.

"What are you looking around for?" Qin Menglan looked at Tang Luo looking everywhere like a child, "Is this your first time on a plane?"

You're both adults; even if it's your first flight, you should act like you fly often.

We're all adults now; even if it's your first time on a plane, you have to act like you fly all the time.

First time.

Tang Luo said.

Before crossing over, he always took the high-speed rail.

"You won't be afraid, will you?" Qin Menglan asked.

Many god-demon walkers are unwilling to take airplanes.

It's not that they lack courage, but they dislike the feeling of having no control over their own lives.

At ten thousand meters altitude, once something goes wrong, even after surviving six god-demon walks, unless one has just the right skill, they will still die.

Switching to other transportation means either land or sea.

When encountering danger, god-demon walkers can at least control their own fate.

Power returning to oneself, walking the path of "not relying on external things."

"No, I'm checking for any dangerous situations." Tang Luo said, "For example, hijackings—I can save people."

If you can't slack off, then work properly.

Tang Luo's skill in adjusting his mindset is top-notch.

"Watch fewer movies." Qin Menglan sighed.

"Movies are also based on real events." Tang Luo said.

"It's now the year 8012." Qin Menglan said.

With current security checks being so strict, one could only hijack a plane with a potato.

"Don't worry, if danger arises, I'll use my 'kai guang' to save you—for free!" Tang Luo gave Qin Menglan a thumbs-up.

"I'm not worried about a ghost!"

Qin Menglan felt her heart weary.

For the first time, she felt that communicating with people was so difficult.

Clearly, from the data, Tang Luo, who grew up in that family environment, possesses more calmness and maturity than his peers.

After becoming a god-demon walker, those without arrogance only become calmer and more mature.

Calm to the point of indifference.

Why does this guy in front of me feel like he's reverted to his teenage years?

Is it due to the influence of his fate?

Among famous monks, are there any hot-blooded types?

The plane took off and flew smoothly.

No hijacking occurred, and the flight attendants began distributing food.

Qin Menglan and Tang Luo both refused, asking only for a cup of water and a cup of orange juice.

It's a short trip, so neither of them is hungry.

The food on the plane isn't anything special—just enough to fill the stomach when hungry.

Not long after, some commotion came from behind.

Soon after, the broadcast announced that a passenger had suddenly fallen ill and needed medical help.

Tang Luo immediately stood up: "Leave it to me—I'm a doctor!"

Qin Menglan stared, stunned: "You're a doctor? Ghost!"

You're just a freshman.

And all at the level of scoring 60 points—long live!

"Are you a doctor?" the flight attendant also blinked in surprise.

So young and handsome, yet with white hair—such a doctor is rare.

"Yes." Tang Luo pointed to his white hair: "See? This is the side effect of studying medicine and memorizing texts."

"……" The flight attendant immediately believed him.

A few minutes later.

Tang Luo returned to his seat amid applause.

"……Your 'kai guang'?" Qin Menglan couldn't help but ask softly.

She realized that 'kai guang' wasn't the other party taking advantage of her, spouting nonsense.

Maybe it's actually the other party's skill?

A rare healing skill!

"Mm." Tang Luo said, "As I said, I'm the president of the Kai Guang Society—honest and trustworthy."

"You're not a doctor?"

The flight attendant beside her blinked, looking puzzled.

What is 'kai guang'? It sounds strange.

"Just now I lied to you, my Buddhist name is Xuanzang." Tang Luo said, handing over a business card, "Professional demon exorcism, giving people kai guang—no effect, no charge."

"……"

The flight attendant immediately wanted to call the police again.
