Just when Zhuge Ye thought Jiang Che would unleash his full power, he instead saw Jiang Che calmly take out a caregiver uniform and put it on himself, sitting back down as if nothing had happened...

Zhuge Ye: "Whoa... damn..."

"Isn't this too shameless?"

Now was a good opportunity to observe the strength of others, how could Jiang Che miss it?

The blood-colored caregiver uniform was an E-level Taboo Object. Once worn, in the eyes of the uncanny, he appeared as one of them!

Sure enough, a corpse walked right past Jiang Che and lunged at Zhuge Ye.

Zhuge Ye: "Brother Che, save me!"

With his hands in his pockets, Jiang Che chuckled.

"Papa, save me!"

"Come on, son!"

Jiang Che spread his legs wide.

Zhuge Ye dashed in with a swift step.

Safe and sound.

The corpse: "..."

The corpse: "Roar roar" (Damn it, where is everyone?)

The corpse looked at Jiang Che.

Then looked at where Zhuge Ye had just been standing.

"Roar roar." (Damn it, where is everyone?)

Jiang Che: "Roar roar" (I have no idea)

Jiang Che: "Roar roar" (Look over there)

Following Jiang Che's direction, the corpse saw—whoa! So many living people!

"Roar roar roar!" (Nice)

The corpse happily ran over.

Luckily, the caregiver uniform was big enough, otherwise Zhuge Ye would have been done for.

Hiding inside, Zhuge Ye whispered, "Brother Che, you're amazing~"

"Keep being cheeky and I'll kick you out." Jiang Che focused intently on watching Jiang Zihao and the others fight, having no time to banter with Zhuge Ye.

What he could see was that Jiang Zihao and the other three were quite formidable.

That's more like it.

How could the qualification challenge of the Uncanny Bureau be filled with rookies?

Axes, shotguns, baseball bats, Tang swords.

If nothing else, these were all F-level Taboo Objects.

The fiercest fighter was Jiang Zihao, whose mystic power had reached E-level.

Another was the ponytailed girl, whose mystic power was also at E-level, even slightly stronger than Jiang Zihao's.

But why do their weapons look so damn cool?

In comparison, his E-level Taboo Object bone knife seemed quite petty.

At this moment, Xiaoman said, "Taboo Objects can be fused together."

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

Xiaoman: "Why would I lie to you?"

"How do you fuse them?"

"Due to the special nature of Taboo Objects, they become extremely unstable during fusion, so you need to find a professional artifact refiner to help you fuse them."

"...," Jiang Che rolled his eyes, "Listening to you is like listening to nonsense."

Where the hell am I supposed to find an artifact refiner now?

"Eh?! Wait, wait!"

Jiang Che suddenly remembered.

When he drew Xiaoman's abilities before, one of them was an artifact refining master!

Jiang Che: "Xiaoman, what do you say?"

Xiaoman: "... I must be out of my mind, telling you all this."

Every challenger has a special space to store things related to the Mystic World.

And Xiaoman is Jiang Che's contracted ghostly spirit.

Therefore, with Jiang Che's consent, Xiaoman can retrieve items on her own.

According to Xiaoman, she would fuse the E-level Taboo Object [Bone Knife] with the F-level Taboo Object [Blood-Stained Scissors].

And as per Jiang Che's request, make the new Taboo Object as imposing as possible.

This would take some time.

Soon, half an hour passed.

The darkness began to fade.

Zhuge Ye emerged reluctantly, and Jiang Che took off his caregiver uniform.

...

Now, including Su Mu and Jiang Che, only six challengers remained.

Everyone looked at each other in silence.

The atmosphere grew tense.

No one expected that this trip would directly filter out all the capable people.

As for the other eight who disappeared.

Everyone present understood, it no longer mattered.

After a while.

The ponytailed girl was the first to speak: "These corpses haven't changed."

During the fight just now, they had cut down at least a hundred corpses.

And now, not only were there no traces of battle, but even the surrounding corpses, including those in the pit.

Were exactly the same as before the darkness fell.

In other words, these corpses hadn't changed at all, not even moving.

So what was with those corpses in the darkness just now?

Jiang Che frowned slightly.

Things were getting more and more bizarre...

The Shiling Village fire, the child's voice, the corpse pit in the mountains, the incomplete corpses.

And the encounter with Gou Dan yesterday, the woman under the village well.

These seemed to have no connection at all...

Jiang Che's gaze fell on the headless male corpse at the edge of the pit.

At the moment the darkness fell, he clearly saw the fingers of this corpse move slightly.

But now, even this headless male corpse showed no signs of change.

This was too uncanny...

At this moment, Jiang Zihao said, "There's nothing strange about this, doesn't the village change when darkness falls? But in the end, it's still fine."

The ponytailed girl remained silent, her brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.

After a while.

The ponytailed girl took her long strides and walked back the way she came.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Zihao asked.

Ponytailed Girl: "Back to the village."

"I know some strategies, we should act together."

"Do you really think everyone believes you know the strategies?"

Jiang Zihao's face darkened: "What do you mean?"

"Exactly what I said." The ponytailed girl walked away without looking back.

Jiang Zihao's face turned red with anger.

Zhuge Ye whispered, "Who is that girl?"

Jiang Che: "How would I know."

"Why is she so fierce like Xiao Xiao, speaking so arrogantly? She seems hard to deal with."

At this moment, the boy with the shotgun walked over and patted Jiang Zihao on the shoulder, smiling: "Even though I knew from the start you were pretending, thanks for sharing the clues, we're leaving, heading back too."

With that, he and the boy carrying the baseball bat went down the mountain together.

Clearly, the two of them were a team, similar to Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye's situation.

Since everyone's strength had already been exposed, there was no need to continue pretending.

As a result, Jiang Zihao, who was once surrounded by everyone, suddenly found himself alone.

He was like a lonely patient, struggling with himself...

It wasn't that he was tricked by others.

But that he had oversimplified things.

In the end, Jiang Zihao could only go down the mountain with a gloomy face.

"Brother Che, aren't we going back?"

"Let's wait a bit longer."

"Wait for what? ... You don't really plan to set the mountain on fire, do you!" Zhuge Ye opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Jiang Che ignored Zhuge Ye.

After waiting for a full half hour, he finally started to move.

Coming to the headless male corpse, Jiang Che began to rummage...

"Ew~"

"Why are you taking off his pants?"

"Are you desecrating the corpse?!"

Jiang Che gave Zhuge Ye a look, finally finding a yellowed slip of paper in the lining of the headless male corpse's red underwear.

Unfolding the slip, most of the writing had been corroded by corpse fluid and was illegible.

But some parts were still discernible.

It was an organ price list!

Zhuge Ye craned his neck, "Who would've thought a kidney could get you seven iPhone 13 Pro Max 512G Sierra Blue!"

Of course, this was just the price in the Mystic World, and whether it was reasonable was unknown.

Just as Jiang Che was about to put away the slip.

Xiaoman, who had just finished fusing the Taboo Objects, warned: "A ghostly spirit is approaching."

A ghostly spirit?!

Jiang Che's expression darkened.

So it hadn't left after all.
