Chapter 256: Chapter 0256: Investigation (Seeking Subscriptions at Third Watch of Night)

The gaze of a great existence never disappears!

At most, the mark of one existence can replace that of another!

After a moment of silence, Rod said, “I understand… but I still don’t want to become someone else… at most, I won’t advance to the fifth level in this lifetime!”

In fact, even if he doesn’t advance, the issue of hearing the Abyss whispers will become more severe.

Su Lu sighed.

He had explained to him the pros and cons, the choice was now up to Rod.

Rod picked up the newly roasted tenderloin and had a big bite: “No matter what, we live in the present, as long as we live well now, it’s enough…”

‘Is he trying to comfort me, his younger brother? I’m sorry… I don’t need it anyway…’

Su Lu was feeling a bit heavy-hearted, he then forced a smile and handed over a beer: “You’re absolutely right!”

After eating and drinking his fill, Rod leaned back contentedly with a toothpick in his mouth: “Are you back on the West Coast this time to kill that woman? Speak up if you have any difficulty, I will definitely help you!”

“I will deal with Beryl’s matter myself. But… what do you know about the [Undead]?”

Truth be told, Su Lu was a bit upset when he verified that the other party had promoted to fourth level. Who was cheating?

“[Undead]… creatures of undead path, their advancement is mysterious… I only have one thing in mind, they possess the traits of living beings, some of the countermeasures against undead creatures, such as sunlight, holy water, and the like, have almost completely become ineffective…”

Rod thought for a moment, then answered.

“This professional path… is strange, it’s like the undead creatures have learned from our human occupational path, and thus derived a promotional path…”

Su Lu thought about the first time he ventured into the mental realm, resonating with Beryl, and receiving her memories, he couldn’t help but be thoughtful.

“Since it’s not for that woman, did you make this trip just to see me, your elder brother?” Rod jokingly said.

“Actually… I want to see where the old man performed his rituals.”

Su Lu went quiet, then seriously said to Rod.

“Where the old man performed his rituals…”

Rod sighed deeply: “Indeed… you should go have a look. I will show you the way, but I can’t go there…”

Because it was once connected to the ‘Abyss’, it completely changed the surrounding environment, and even residual breaths remain.

For an unstable Demon Hunter like Rod, he might lose control instantly once he passed by!

“I see.”

Su Lu, who got the address he wanted from Rod, stood up: “I’m staying in town, with a new identity… Howard. If you have an emergency, you can come to me.”

As he finished speaking, he put on the ‘Raven’s Mask’, and instantly transformed into a different person.

“A fine ability… If I had a magical item like this, I’d be unstoppable at picking up girls in bars… and I wouldn’t even have to be responsible.” Rod whistled: “But be careful… if you run into an occupational person with special eye abilities, such a disguise might still be seen through… Of course, my ‘Demon Hunting Eye’ can’t do it, it probably needs a fourth level special reconnaissance ability…”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Su Lu nodded in acknowledgment.

A marvelous item is not omnipotent, it is bound to be countered, he was already mentally prepared for this.

The next morning.

Su Lu changed into his hunting gear, equipped with outdoor tools, and entered a mine in the forest.

“This time, Donks learned his lesson and didn’t directly perform such dangerous ritual magic at home…”

He carried a lantern, mumbling to himself.

The dim, weak light illuminated the ever-solidified darkness in the mine.

This was an abandoned mining area, and the place where Donks chose to perform his ritual was… underground!

As he entered the entrance of the mine, Su Lu felt something was off.

It was a discordant feeling, as if the entrance separated the mine from the outside world, dividing them into two different spaces.

‘This should be Rod’s arrangement, otherwise, the Abyss breath would have leaked out, there will definitely be a problem…’

Su Lu released his inspiration, spreading deep into the underworld.

Since Rod hadn’t warned him last night, it meant there was no danger here, or rather, no danger that Su Lu couldn’t handle.

Thinking about the incredulous look in Rod’s eyes when he revealed his identity as a third level occupational person during their conversation earlier, Su Lu couldn’t help but smirk.

“Here… it seems that the spirit world has been affected, there are no spirits wandering around, or they are hiding…”

Su Lu found a junction and kept going down.

Accompanied by the musty and mossy abandoned mine around him, the path became narrower. An obscure fear surfaced from the bottom of Su Lu’s heart, warning him of the terror ahead.

“Almost there…”

“Although there may be a bit of danger… I have to go and see.”

He was incredibly curious about Donks’ rituals, and this power, which connects different worlds, held great significance for his future path.

Just then, a white shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

It had long black hair that covered its face, wore a white dress that hung in mid-air beneath its knees, and appeared to be levitating.

It just stood there, staring at Su Lu, then suddenly reached out both hands.

Click!

The Spirit Chain on Su Lu’s right hand automatically fired out, forming a defensive circle around him.

Part of the chains sprawled out like a spider web towards this white spirit.

Easily, this white spirit fell into the net; it was successfully captured.

“A revenant affected by Abyss breath?”

Su Lu picked it up and took a closer look: “Great potential, maybe has the possibility of promoting to a second level evil spirit, even the third level Evil Spirit in the future…”

But for now, it was just an insignificant experience point on his attribute bar.

Su Lu walked out of the mine, and in front of him was a mine connected to a large number of mine tunnels.

It was probably as large as a living room, about four or five meters high. Wind blew in from the tunnels all around, making a wailing sound, extremely frightening.

But Su Lu’s attention was already drawn to a trace in the middle of the cave.

It was a big pit with fire burn marks around it.

In the center of the pit was presumably where the altar for the rituals and layout was back in the day.

It looked like a big explosion had taken place!

But the rich Abyss breath that surrounded the area was also not a hoax.

It was a chilling breath, constantly lingering here, trying to infiltrate Su Lu’s body.

If Su Lu hadn’t been keeping his spirit oppression solidify around his body, it might have succeeded.

“From the look of it… Donks really opened a passage to the Abyss, and even though there’s just a trace of insignificant breath left here, it suffices to send chills down one’s spine…”

“It’s a shame… There are no magical items left, did they follow him to the Abyss, or have they been destroyed?”
