"It really is a health club …" Wang Chenghao peeked out from behind Qin Ye's shoulder and exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you just say …"
Qin Ye smacked the card on his nose, "What did I say?
Can you listen to some useful information?
How can you be a qualified assistant if you're so calculative? "
Wang Chenghao rubbed his nose, feeling that something was wrong.
Qin Ye scrutinized the card carefully.
It was only then that he discovered that there was another line of smaller words just below the line of text, "Opening at midnight every day. You only need to infuse your Yin energy into the invitation card, and the address will appear immediately.
The first time you use this card, you can enjoy a 20% discount. "
Cheng knew how to have fun …
These were the only words that surfaced in Qin Ye's mind after he read through all of the explanations.
Bloody hell … Has the netherworld society in the City of Salvation developed to such an extent? This is how souls should live!
Drinking blood, hugging skeletons, dancing on tombstones, drifting on hearses … It's completely different from the tiny Clear Creek County!
"It could be a trap … Who is it?
How can you sense my presence? "Qin Ye frowned.
Wang Chenghao's lips trembled, and he finally couldn't hold it in any longer, "Brother Qin … I understand what you're trying to do. But if it's a trap, then why do you keep infusing Yin energy into it?"
"Hmm?
Did I?
I'm sorry … my hands aren't responding to my commands. "As soon as Qin Ye finished speaking, the flames on the skull began to burn brightly.
Wang Chenghao coughed lightly and probed further, "Brother Qin … I've never seen you so anxious before. Could it be that you're … a sorcerer?"
Qin Ye's hand suddenly froze.
"No." A few seconds later, he replied with certainty.
Wang Chenghao breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew it. How could it be possible? He was so strong, good-looking, and had a height of 1.77 meters. How could he be a magician?
"I'm … an Archmage …" Qin Ye gnashed his teeth as if his voice came from another dimension.
Wang Chenghao suddenly understood everything. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Thousands of words condensed into one sentence, "Ah … men."
As Qin Ye continued to infuse his Yin energy into the skull, the flames on the skull slowly transformed into the image of the Harken.
Qin Ye furrowed his brows, "This design … why does it look so similar to the one on my Hell's Emissary uniform …"
Boom!!
Just then, a dense cloud of Yin energy erupted from the card!
Whoosh!
The curtains of the room suddenly closed as if pulled by an invisible soul.
The hotel's curtains were all special curtains. Once they were closed, it would be difficult to see the sunlight. In an instant, the entire place was plunged into darkness.
A tidal wave of Yin energy filled the entire room, while Qin Ye stood right in the center of the room.
Shk … Qin Ye didn't even have the slightest bit of time to react before his Hell's Emissary uniform appeared on his body.
Wang Chenghao gasped in horror and immediately retreated to the corner of the room. Then, he stared at Qin Ye, who was staring at his hands in astonishment, and asked with a trembling voice, "Brother Qin … is … is … is something wrong?"
Qin Ye remained silent.
His eyes were filled with incomparable astonishment. The Yin energy emanating from this area was far above his own, and was infinitely close to the level of Puppeteer.
Furthermore, unlike Puppeteer, this patch of Yin energy was pure and boundless. It wasn't something that an ordinary ghost could possess!
"It's not me …" He stroked his Hell's Emissary uniform with great disbelief, "I … didn't transform into an Emissary of Hell at all … This is …"
He glanced at his surroundings in shock, and then enunciated each word clearly, "This is … Yin!
Too bad! "
"A living emissary of Hell!"
"It's already … infinitely close to the level of a Soul Hunter!"
This is a true Emissary of Hell!
He had never expected that there would be another living emissary of Hell in this world. Furthermore … the other party had clearly discovered his presence!
"Emissary of Hell?
A living emissary of Hell?! "Just then, a hoarse voice that was just as shocked as Qin Ye's.
Qin Ye was taken aback, "Arthis?
You're awake? "
"No … The outbreak in Clear Creek County was my trump card, and I can only use it once. If I want to recover … I'll need a large number of Yin spirits.
No … that's not the main point. The main point is … how can there possibly be a living emissary of Hell in the mortal realm?! "
The soul sphere drifted out and trembled violently, "Ksitigarbha has become a Buddha, and all of the emissaries of Hell in Hell have been wiped out. Even I have no choice but to hide in the depths of the abyss in order to survive … This person … how did he manage to survive in the face of such a powerful attack?
This is completely unrealistic! "
"Are you certain?" Qin Ye glanced at the Yin energy around him, which was just as pure and of the same origin as his own.
"I'm very certain. The Yin energy of Hell is on a completely different level from that of ordinary ghosts. It's a completely different system. I can't be mistaken about the aura of a 'colleague'!"
Everyone grew silent.
To think that an emissary of Hell who had survived the great upheaval of Hell was hiding in the City of Salvation. Not only that, he had even discovered Qin Ye, who was also an emissary of Hell, and had even sent him an invitation!
What's he trying to do?
After a long time, Arthis spoke up once more. Perhaps it was because she hadn't fully recovered yet, but her voice sounded somewhat breathless, "Kid, I'm going to give you the second ironclad rule of Emissaries of Hell …"
"All emissaries of Hell … with the exception of you, are Yin spirits of Hell. They are governed by Hell's strict 'system'. Once these 'systems' are no longer in place, these emissaries of Hell … will become hundreds of times more terrifying than even evil ghosts!
I'm certain of this right now … huff … huff … "
"He … cough cough … he's … the culprit behind the great outbreak of supernatural incidents in the City of Salvation!!"
Qin Ye's mind was suddenly enlightened!
"That's right … Firstly, the regularity of the outbreak of supernatural incidents in the City of Salvation, as well as the direction of their movements, are all signs that they're not random occurrences.
But … whoever it is that's the organization, the Yin energy will be the strongest.
He must have been discovered a long time ago!
And Old Zhang told me that he's still investigating. "
"That's impossible … it's impossible that he hasn't been discovered yet.
That's because … there's no way to find it! "
He murmured, "Just like me, this man is an official Emissary of Hell.
Our Yin energy is far superior to that of ordinary ghosts. Given the current state of affairs in the mortal realm … it's just like how I've never been detected by any instrument or cultivator. Nobody would be able to detect my presence either!
Only an Emissary of Hell would be able to rely on the might of Hell to get so many ghosts to follow his plans! "
"Then … why would the head honcho of the entire City of Salvation invite me?"
There was no answer.
After a long time, Arthis finally recovered from her shock, and her voice was incomparably somber as she gasped for breath, "Kid, you'd better consider this invitation carefully …"
"I've been imprisoned under the skeletal bridge for hundreds of years, and I'm no longer clear about the ecology of ghosts.
If you attend this invitation … you'll be able to gain a better understanding of the current situation in the City of Salvation.
The real situation.
The two of you might very well be the only two Emissaries of Hell left in this world. He'll definitely see you in person … "
"This is the epitome of modern Hell.
Other cities should be similar to the City of Salvation. Even if there aren't any Emissaries of Hell, there are still other powerful ghosts. It's just a matter of how strong they are … Understanding him is tantamount to seeing the microcosm of the mortal realm after the collapse of Hell. It'll be immensely beneficial to your future life.
This is of utmost importance. "
Qin Ye muttered, "But this is his territory. If negotiations don't come to an agreement, it'll be far too easy for him to kill me.
His strength … shouldn't be too far from the level of a Soul Hunter, right? "
After his battle with Puppeteer, he was all too aware of the strength of a Soul Hunter.
"Cough cough …" Arthis gasped for breath, "I can use the shard of King Yanluo's Seal to envelop you in Yin energy for three days. If anything happens, I can protect you from harm even if you're an Infernal Judge.
But … "
Qin Ye muttered softly, "But if negotiations break down, he'll immediately know that I possess the shard of King Yanluo's Seal. When that happens … I'll have to die even if I don't … right?"
Arthis grew silent.
"It's too dangerous." Qin Ye kept the card, "Speaking of which, why don't you wrap me in a shard of King Yanluo's Seal first?
I can't help but feel a little uneasy … "
Arthis didn't say another word. Instead, an incredibly dense wave of Yin energy erupted from Qin Ye's chest and seeped into his pores.
Then, there was no more sound, and he fell back into a deep slumber.
"Get ready." Qin Ye retracted his smile and lifted his chin to Wang Chenghao, "We're going to Insignia University tomorrow."
I can't stay here any longer.
The eyes of another of his kind had already pinned me to the ground in the darkness.
Regardless of what the other party was thinking, I absolutely don't want to negotiate with them right now!
It was a dreamless night. When they woke up the next day, the first thing they did was buy a set of cheap clothes. The clothes they were wearing had been worn for far too long.
Then, they drove towards Insignia University.
Insignia University was located on the outskirts of the city. After an hour of driving, the two men arrived at the main entrance.
The ancient archway was inscribed with the words "Insignia University". The vast campus was filled with lush greenery. From time to time, loud shouts of "one, two, three, four" could be heard echoing from the campus.
"The end of October seems to be the time for military training … but it's almost over." Qin Ye glanced around the campus with some nostalgia in his heart.
Back then, he'd wanted to experience university life for himself. Later on, he'd gotten bored and decided to enroll for the experience. Coupled with this experience, he was already on the verge of achieving the feat of going in and out of college …
Along the way, Wang Chenghao found everything new and interesting.
It hadn't been too long since the start of the semester, and the banners of all sorts of societies and societies could be seen everywhere. Although they weren't as enthusiastic as when the semester had just started, it was still more than enough to open up a whole new door for him.
"So this is a university?" "It's so much better than the high school in our county!
Brother Qin, look, there's a beauty over there! "" Holy shit … there's actually an anime club here. Can I join too? "
Qin Ye wished he could sew his mouth shut with a needle.
A large group of camouflaged charcoal brushed past them, and the deafening shouts of "one, two, three, four" caused Wang Chenghao's blood to rush to his head, and his face to flush red.
Qin Ye furrowed his brows and glanced around. Then, he pulled out his phone and made a call.
Student council office. Zhang Linhua had just handed a form to one of his classmates when his phone rang.
"Hello?" He didn't recognize the number, but he picked up anyway.
"Is this Mr Zhang?
I'm Qin Ye. "
"Qin Ye?
Which Qin Ye? "
Zhang Linhua nearly hung up. But just as he was about to press the button, he suddenly recalled something and forced a smile onto his face, "Ah, so it's Mr … Qin.
What's the matter? "
On the other end of the line, Qin Ye glanced at his phone, "It's like this. We're here to report for duty today. Can I trouble you to take us to the Academic Affairs Office?"
"Academic Affairs Office?"
Zhang Linhua didn't conceal the trace of laughter in his voice at all, "Mr Qin, forgive me for speaking out of turn. It's against the rules for you to enter the university. My father was the one who gave the go-ahead. Wouldn't you be slapping him in the face if you went to the Academic Affairs Office?"
"Mr Qin, which door are you at right now?
… Oh, that's the back door. The building opposite you is the laboratory building, and that's the library.
There'll be a crossroads after you pass the library. Take a left turn, and you'll see the finance department in the old building.
You'll need to fill out a form and come to the student council to pay the fees. I'll assign you a dormitory … Alright, that's all … "
Qin Ye was calm.
He didn't have much of an impression of Zhang Linhua in the first place. After all, his relationship with Zhang Baoguo didn't extend to Zhang Linhua.
It was only natural that Zhang Linhua treated him coldly. After all, he didn't think that everyone should serve him.
"Alright.
Thanks. "
After hanging up, Zhang Linhua snorted coldly and tossed his phone aside, "Idiot."
