Chapter 766: The True Mad God

Qiao Jia Jin naturally had no way out. He scratched his head and looked at Chen Jun Nan. “Jun Nan zi…”

“Okay… okay…” Chen Jun Nan said. “Look at what you're saying, Dong Jie. We were originally going to call you along, so why mention following or not, ha ha!”

Even Qiao Jia Jin was seeing Chen Jun Nan with such an awkward expression for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

What on earth was the background of this girl?

Chen Jun Nan hadn't shown this kind of expression even when facing Di Hou, but when he saw the girl in front of him, it was as if he had encountered his natural enemy. Not only did his words become clumsy, but his facial expression also turned a bit stiff.

Qiao Jia Jin had no idea what had happened between the two of them, so he could only agree to Qin Ding Dong's request to set off together.

The three of them left the classroom together, and at the school gate, they encountered a group of girls led by Yun Yao. They seemed to have gotten up early too and were preparing to take Zheng Ying Xiong out.

“Hey, big star.” Chen Jun Nan greeted Yun Yao.

Yun Yao appeared to be in a hurry, with a distracted expression, merely nodding symbolically before hurriedly leading the group on their way.

Early in the morning, everyone in Tian Tang Kou left their base one after another, heading off in different directions.

Meanwhile, Chu Tian Qiu stood on the rooftop, surveying the crowd below.

His face was expressionless, lost in thought about something.

Xu Liu Nian walked step by step up to the rooftop and stood at a distance, gazing at Chu Tian Qiu's back.

“What's up?” Chu Tian Qiu asked softly without turning his head. “Have you found a way to destroy this place?”

“I can't find that path…” Xu Liu Nian replied in a low voice. “Now, I'm completely out of options.”

“Is that so…” Chu Tian Qiu nodded. “Then what's the meaning of you coming to find me?”

“I've given up.” Xu Liu Nian said. “Here, I don't have any connections with anyone. Thinking about it, only you and Yun Yao have spoken to me more, so I came to say goodbye to you.”

“Goodbye…?”

“Chu Tian Qiu, you know…” Xu Liu Nian lowered his head silently. “Every time I appear in your rooms, it's because Qing Long promised me the identity of a Can Yu Zhe.”

Chu Tian Qiu nodded after hearing this. “Yes, so what?”

“I don't want to seek this opportunity anymore…” Xu Liu Nian said. “Perhaps in the next cycle, I'll completely disappear… and never appear again.”

“Interesting.” Chu Tian Qiu sighed expressionlessly. “I thought you and Qing Long were on the same level, but it turns out you're under his control?”

“You've remembered all that…?” Xu Liu Nian furrowed his brow.

“Yes, those two dragons want to kill everyone here to Cheng Shen, and you want to do the same. My memories are increasing day by day, and probably Qi Xia's are too.” Chu Tian Qiu said. “If you disappear here, how will Qing Long explain it?”

Xu Liu Nian slowly lifted his head and looked at the sky. “Does he need to explain to anyone…? Those two have already betrayed their master's orders, so do they still need to fabricate lies to give an account to their master?”

“Yes…” Chu Tian Qiu nodded. “No one will come to save us from this place anymore… Those two are killing the Can Yu Zhe to Mie Kou, so they absolutely won't let anyone leave. To break this endless cycle, we can only rely on ourselves.”

Xu Liu Nian pondered for a moment before saying. “Not on ourselves, but on you all. Whether it's you or Qi Xia… anyone can do it. Just destroy this place.”

“What about you?”

“I just want to complete my own task.” Xu Liu Nian said. “If those two are killing all the Can Yu Zhe for Mie Kou, and I'm doing the same, my superior once ordered them to destroy this place. But they disobeyed my superior's command, took this place for themselves, and want to become Shen themselves, which is completely wrong.”

Chu Tian Qiu chuckled lightly. “So those two have no way out either. If they leave this place without becoming Shen, they'll face charges of rebellion.”

“That's exactly it.” Xu Liu Nian said. “So I must do everything I can to destroy this place.”

“Don't be foolish.” Chu Tian Qiu turned around and said. “Xu Liu Nian… do you really know what you're doing?”

Xu Liu Nian thought for a moment before replying. “I know. I just have to carry out the orders. I don't care about anything else.”

“Orders…? But…” Chu Tian Qiu turned to face him on the empty rooftop, looking Xu Liu Nian in the eye. “How can you not understand this? Your ‘superior’, who is also their so-called ‘master’, that person captured tens of thousands of souls and imprisoned them here, then ordered everyone killed after using them… Could he be a good person?”

“Don't say that…” Xu Liu Nian's face darkened. “The tens of thousands of souls captured were all guilty individuals. He just gave them a chance to Cheng Shen.”

“Guilty ones…?” Chu Tian Qiu laughed angrily and took a couple of steps forward. “Xu Liu Nian… what's my crime?”

“I don't know…” Xu Liu Nian shook his head. “I don't understand the sins of everyone here, but when I drove the Lie Che here, I knew that every person carried sins grave enough to go to hell.”

“Doesn't that sound absurd?” Chu Tian Qiu stared and laughed. “If you're not lying, then your superior is letting a group of evildoers who were supposed to go to hell try to De Dao Cheng Shen in this cursed place. Am I the one who's crazy, or is he?”

“He is the true Shen above those two…” Xu Liu Nian answered. “What he does is beyond the comprehension of us mortals…”

“What nonsense Shen, what nonsense ghost management institution.” Chu Tian Qiu sneered. “Do you think our current situation is really caused by those two dragons?! If someone hadn't meticulously built this place to hold tens of thousands of ghosts… how would we be trapped?”

“But you can't blame him…” Xu Liu Nian said. “I heard him say with my own ears, ‘This place is useless now, scatter these people.’ Theoretically, your lives should have ended seventy years ago…”

“Ha ha ha ha!” Chu Tian Qiu laughed. “That's even more absurd, Xu Liu Nian. From my perspective, those two dragons are incredibly benevolent, giving us an extra seventy years of life. Your ‘superior’ is the complete devil.”

“What…?” Xu Liu Nian listened to Chu Tian Qiu's viewpoint, his eyes widening as if his world was collapsing.

“Or perhaps…” Chu Tian Qiu's face turned cold as he asked, “In this world, anyone called Shen is just as insane?”
