Just when Mo Zhenzhen was about to say something to Gu Chang, she suddenly heard a notification.
[Unpredictable changes have occurred in the world inside the door. Players will pop up in the world in ten seconds, with a countdown of ten, nine, eight, seven...]
[Player An Gonghui kills the mini-boss Zhang Qingyue, the nature of the world changes, and the calculation is recalculated...]
[Countdown 01:59:59]
The countdown was recalculated to two hours, and the change in the blink of an eye was extremely rapid.
Mo Zhenzhen just paused for a moment, then looked at Gu Chang very naturally and spoke.
——
[Unpredictable changes have occurred in the world inside the door. Players will pop up in the world in ten seconds, with a countdown of ten, nine, eight, seven...]
Just when he was about to reach into the box to take out the items collected by the bodyguard, An Gonghui heard such a message.
An Gonghui only had five seconds to think. When the countdown reached seven, he decisively raised his gun at Zhang Qingyue, who was sitting opposite him with his eyes closed, and fired three bullets into Zhang Qingyue's body.
Zhang Qingyue is very afraid of death. He has a life-saving thing in his body. When his soul is weak to a certain extent, he will be reborn.
But Zhang Qingyue's mistake was that he should not let An Gonghui offer incense for him.
To be more precise, it should be that he should not covet the incense given to him by An Gonghui.
The incense was not something bought from outside, but was made by An Gonghui himself, mixed with the incense of his blood.
An Gonghui has no core skills, but he did learn a lot by relying on An Qiaoxuan. Although he is a bit partial in Buddhism, he has to be said to be talented.
The bullet with golden Sanskrit characters engraved on the surface was shot into Zhang Qingyue's body. The golden Sanskrit characters exploded directly, drawing An Gonghui's blood in Zhang Qingyue's body. The golden light burst out, turning Zhang Qingyue into a hedgehog.
The golden light disappeared, and Zhang Qingyue also disappeared at the same time.
[Player An Gonghui kills the mini-boss Zhang Qingyue, the nature of the world changes, and the calculation is recalculated...]
[Congratulations to player An Gonghui for killing the mini-boss Zhang Qingyue alone and getting a random prop card. 】
Zhang Qingyue is actually very difficult to kill. He is very difficult to deal with. He has channel skills and is a ghost. If you can't beat him, he can run away. There is also a circle of forces gathered around him.
But An Gonghui had obviously been prepared to kill him. When An Gonghui had planned it and Zhang Qingyue was unprepared, his death became a matter of course.
All these accidents happened so fast that even the bodyguards in black who were standing by were unable to react.
It wasn't until An Gonghui put away his gun that these people reacted and then panicked.
An Gonghui did not say anything to comfort or win over these scoundrels, because he knew very well that after killing Zhang Qingyue, he would not be able to control these bodyguards in black. The reason why these bodyguards gathered around Zhang Qingyue was because Zhang Qingyue was very likely to Will turn into a ghost king. These bodyguards are sponsored by the wealthy businessmen in Y City.
But now that Zhang Qingyue's soul is gone, the sacrifice cannot be stopped. It is still unknown who will be chosen to replace Zhang Qingyue to complete the ceremony.
Unless An Gonghui is willing to die now and then replace Zhang Qingyue to complete the sacrifice as the wronged soul, no one will listen to him.
An Gonghui didn't care about this either.
He rummaged through everything in the box, and after confirming that all items had been rewarded, he planned to change sides.

What to do when zombies come out of the cage?
If An Qiaoxuan and Zhao Hai had heard this question before, An Qiaoxuan might have been more reserved, smiling and saying nothing.
Zhao Hai will say two words directly: Fuck him!
But in fact, the reality is rougher.
For example, at this moment, the two of them were still struggling in the stench (there was no harmful component in the stench, it was just a simple stench, and everything else had been purified), and the seal was being installed. It collapsed under the erosion of Qiaozun's darkness.
The coffin board fell to the ground and kicked up a cloud of dust, and the red-clothed zombie bared its four fangs.
The zombies were making quite a lot of noise, but the reactions of these two people were quite strange.
Being soaked in the stench was really a very painful thing. The two saw the red zombie, but their reaction was not to kill the red zombie. Instead, the coffin board was finally opened and they could finally leave here!
So even if the red zombies pounced on them, they didn't take it seriously. They just ran towards the coffin and then hit a wall.
This coffin is not a visual illusion, but there is a real coffin embedded here, and it is tangible.
The two of them tried to escape but failed, but were trapped in this small coffin. When they looked back, the red zombie had already pounced on them again!
——
Mo Zhenzhen reached an agreement with Gu Chang and the Taoist priest. As long as these two people helped them kill the red zombie, Mo Zhenzhen would let Gu Cheng go and give them a sum of money.
The money was provided by the Qin family, one million per person.
Mo Zhenzhen's method of persuading them was very practical. She told them the fact that Zhang Qingyue was dead, and then bribed them with money.
Gu Chang was a little reluctant at first, but there was no way, Gu Cheng was in her hands.
As for the Taoist priest, he has been very silent and supports Gu Chang when asked.
This made Mo Zhenzhen couldn't help but wonder if the Taoist priest had something in Gu Chang's hands. Otherwise, how could he listen to Gu Chang's words so much?
When they arrived at the gate of the community, the wealthy businessmen had no intention of entering. What followed them in was the group of bodyguards brought by these wealthy businessmen.
Some of these bodyguards were bodyguards during their lifetime, and some became ghosts after death and were lured with money by wealthy businessmen.
So there are still many people in the vast place.
The path from the gate of the community to the downstairs of Building No. 25 was full of bloodstains and residual traces of the fight. Just looking at it afterwards was shocking.
As she got closer, Mo Zhenzhen stood still and looked up. The red color was still standing at the window. She was like a beautiful sculpture, staring blankly in front of her without any reaction.
——
"Sir, how are you feeling? Can you still hold on?"
"I'm fine. How are Taoist Priest and the others?"
"Still in a coma."
The officer gritted his teeth after hearing this, quickly bandaged himself, and after finishing, he solemnly said to the woman in front of him.
"Thank you for your help, thank you."
The retired female soldier also gritted her teeth, took a deep breath and solemnly told him her identity.
When he heard that the other party was a retired female soldier, a hint of vulnerability flashed across the officer's resolute expression. His eyes turned red, but he remained firm.
"I've suffered." The officer's voice was deep, but these personal emotions only existed for a short time. Then he became determined again, as if he was not the one who was seriously injured. He was still the one who could press the gunman with one hand without shaking. , an officer who can still hit the target with perfect accuracy even after a quick march.
"The situation is urgent now. I have decided to urgently recruit you to join this special operation... You can refuse."
The retired female soldier was silent for a moment. She did not answer the officer's words, but told him something in a low voice.
"Zhang Qingyue is dead."
What?
The officer didn't understand. The retired female soldier took a deep breath and told the officer about the sacrificial ceremony that started in this city.
The sacrificial ceremony officer knew that the veteran had explained the dangers of this ceremony to him in detail more than once, and he had also thought about stopping the ceremony.
But the old Taoist told him that once this ritual is started, it cannot be stopped. The divine punishment has come and someone must bear it.
The retired female soldier explained this ritual to the officer more thoroughly from the perspective of a ghost.
From the perspective of a Taoist, this sacrificial ceremony was promoted by Zhang Qingyue, an evil heretic, but from the perspective of ghosts, it was actually a ritual caused by the demands of ghosts.
The ghosts want a powerful ghost king who can protect them and build a ghost city.
Of course there is Zhang Qingyue's guidance and organization, but in the final analysis the cause lies with the ghosts.
Every ghost who has ever had this thought is the cornerstone of this sacrificial ritual and is connected to this ritual.
This retired female soldier is one of these ghosts.
She may have just had such thoughts, or thought about ghost towns. Such thoughts were captured by the ritual that gradually took shape, and she became one of them.
So after Zhang Qingyue's soul died, she also had a feeling. The target of the ritual sacrifice disappeared, and the inside of the ritual began to become chaotic. God's punishment was bound to come, but they lost the goal to bear it.
The retired female soldier explained everything to the officer without hiding anything. After that, the female soldier was silent. However, the officer always had a serious look. Even after hearing such an explanation, he did not change his expression at all.
"You need a new sacrifice target." It's not a question, but an affirmation. Then the officer asked, "What are the requirements for this new sacrifice target? What will be the consequences if not?"
The retired female soldier took a deep breath and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.
"The ceremony will randomly find someone to serve as the core. God's punishment... The demon ghost cannot be the target of sacrifice. The demon ghost does not have that much resentment and willpower..." She was almost incoherent. She didn't know how to tell the officer this, or even She felt ashamed standing here.
Finally, the retired female soldier struggled to speak.
"Sir, neither I nor we want to die."
If the target of the sacrifice cannot withstand all this when the sacrifice ceremony officially begins, then all the ghosts participating in it will be judged by heaven's punishment. This is a backlash that no ghost can bear.
"Sir, I know we are no longer alive..."
She gritted her teeth and said no more, but the officer understood and his expression did not change.
"What do you want me to do?"
——
After standing downstairs at No. 25 and looking at the red figure for a while, Mo Zhenzhen seemed to have just thought of something and pulled out a volume of imperial edict from the backpack she was carrying behind her.
"Just as Taoist Master, come and see what is written on this?"
The Taoist priest remained silent until the imperial edict was handed to him, and the look in his eyes changed.
He solemnly took the imperial edict with both hands, untied the binding ribbon, and then slowly unfolded it.
He looked over bit by bit, and didn't make a sound until he finished.
Mo Zhenzhen asked him, but he didn't respond. He even held the rerolled imperial edict and didn't return it to Mo Zhenzhen.
This reaction was very abnormal. Mo Zhenzhen looked at Gu Chang, and Gu Chang's expression was a little strange.
With insufficient information in this area, Mo Zhenzhen could only make a bold blind guess.
"Have you seen this imperial edict?"
The Taoist priest didn't respond, but Gu Chang finally spoke after hesitating.
"There is an edict similar to this enshrined in Yunding Temple."
Why did Gu Chang know?
Because the old temple master of Yunding Temple (Zhang Qingyue and the master of this Taoist priest) was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, the Taoist priest who was designated as the next temple master approached Gu Chang and hoped to borrow a sum of money from him to treat his master. It was this imperial edict that was used as collateral.
