The Abandoned Divine Evil
You are a born devil, God's most failed creation. Abandonment is your destiny; you live in a world that revolves around you. You think, "It's time to invite everyone over!"
[Exile: Drag everyone you hate and love into your world! Judge them on your own turf!]
This is Ye Bugui's ability, a card that seems exceptionally special just from its description.
On the card, a giant hand covers a small town. Clearly, it represents that hand.
As the thick fog rolled in, the faceless men shrouded in it were all pulled into his world.
"As expected, it's still much weaker."
Ye Bugui, lying in the coffin, opened his eyes. He originally thought he could bring all the Faceless Men in, but he didn't expect that his ability had reached its limit.
After stepping out of the coffin, Ye Bugui stood in front of the mirror, examining his own appearance with great interest.
With his long, sharp fingernail, he tried touching the bronze mirror, and a crack immediately appeared on it, as if frozen.
He examined his face again; his skin had become even paler than Lu Shi's, devoid of any color or warmth.
The clothes he was wearing from the previous dynasty actually made him look even more handsome.
He slowly opened his mouth, revealing two fangs that were still dripping blood.
"They're already inside?" Ye Bugui snorted coldly. He sighed, "I hope they don't cause any trouble. I can't bear to leave this town."
Then Ye Bugui clapped his hands, and the rusty bell tied to his wrist made a deep sound, instantly waking up all the "residents" of the town.
Bronze Hall
Most of the players who were originally gathered in Lu Shi and Zi Ling's live stream room are now heading towards the Bronze Hall.
It's very simple. Although it was easy for these players to kill monsters together, it was nowhere near as exciting as when the Faceless Men army pressed in at the beginning.
All the viewers who watched the whole thing now had only one question on their minds: where did more than half of the faceless men go, and what exactly was that black mist?
At first, many people were unwilling to admit that the black mist was Ye Bugui's ability.
After all, many people took the opportunity to mock Ye Bugui, saying that he was a good-for-nothing who only knew how to curry favor with powerful people and had nothing to offer besides money.
Although Ye Bugui's subsequent performance was far from that of a newcomer, people still ridiculed him for only being good at theory.
But this black mist is really too strange.
If it really is Ye Bugui's ability, then clearly, Ye Bugui is no longer the useless person these viewers are talking about.
With skepticism in mind, everyone flocked to Ye Bugui's live stream.
Then they saw a group of faceless people walking on a quiet, deserted path.
This must be a small town in China a hundred years ago. These disgusting-looking faceless people walking around the town don't seem out of place at all.
However, what shocked the audience the most was not Ye Bugui's amazing abilities.
But this town looked so familiar.
At this moment, a player suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Isn't this Zombie Town! I remember it being a C-rank dungeon! There's nobody in this town, and you can't find anything in the houses during the day!"
"I remember now!" More and more people recalled: "Every house in this town has a hidden door, which can only be seen when the moonlight shines in at night. Opening that hidden door leads to the cellar, where there is a coffin."
"So what does this mean? This streamer pulled monsters from one instance into another? No way, that ability is way too overpowered!"
When the bell rang, many ordinary players shuddered, as it brought back unpleasant memories.
The bell is the boss of this dungeon, the Corpse King's skill.
As long as the Zombie King rings the bell, the sleeping zombies will all wake up.
So the Faceless Men who were still strolling around town had no idea that a group of zombies were about to run out of the dilapidated houses on both sides of the road.
The first zombie crawled out, and upon seeing the Faceless Man, it charged at him.
Soon, the faceless man twisted off both of the zombie's hands.
However, just as the group of faceless men were about to leave, the handless zombie stood up again and began to bite the faceless men with its mouth.
A regular zombie, a level 1 monster, with low attack power and slow movement speed.
But they have one great advantage: high defense and strong survivability. As long as they aren't torn to pieces, zombies won't die.
More and more zombies pushed open the door and crawled out.
They wrestled with the Faceless Men, causing them great trouble.
To kill zombies, they also need to put in a lot of effort.
At this moment, Ye Bugui, who had been lying in the mayor's house, came out.
He didn't expect to wipe out all the Faceless Men by relying on zombies; he only used them to weaken their fighting power.
When Ye Bugui, who had become the Corpse King, walked out from the crowd, the viewers in the live broadcast room were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.
"Bug! This is unfair, this skill is too powerful!"
"This is ridiculous! They've become dungeon bosses! If you ask me, I'd say stay away from these two from now on. One's a demon lord and the other can drag you into dungeons. They're a devilish duo!"
"I think it would be interesting if these two started a guild. They might just rise to prominence and break the current dominance of the seven major guilds."
"You really believe they can clear this? These skills only look cool. If you ask me, the monsters and bosses in C-rank dungeons are no match for A-rank dungeons!"
After the appearance of the Corpse King Ye Bugui, the zombies suddenly became even more ferocious.
This is also another of the Zombie King's aura skills; it can make zombies go berserk.
Welcome!
A sly smile appeared on Ye Bugui's pale face: "You are the first guests I have entertained since my return. You should be very happy!"
After finishing the usual opening remarks, Ye Bugui suddenly disappeared into the midst of the faceless men.
He swung his sharp claws and easily severed the faceless man's head.
The beheaded faceless man quickly turned into ice.
Before long, Ye Bugui had killed all the faceless men.
As Ye Bugui turned around with a flourish, a clockwork robot not far away charged towards him, its fist bigger than its head.
A note from the author:
Just to clarify, Lao Ye isn't a dungeon boss; he just can wear various boss skins!
Ye Bugui: Am I very strong?
Lu Shi: All that fancy stuff is no match for my whole ball of fire!
Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 39
☪ Good Family Apartment 14
Madmen and Fools
Of course, it's impossible to successfully ambush Ye Bugui with this item, which comes from a B-level dungeon.
"Huh?" Ye Bugui turned around casually, piercing the wind-up robot's chest with a claw: "How did such a strange thing get in here?"
He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had dealt with all the Faceless Men and should leave quickly, but then he stopped in his tracks.
"I am... the Corpse King... Why should I leave this place?"
The thought lingered in his mind, causing him to slowly squat down on the ground.
The zombies crawled up to Ye Bugui, and unable to speak, they could only communicate with him using their unique aura.
Or rather, they are telling Ye Bugui that he is the Corpse King, and that he is one of them, the zombies.
When Ye Bugui got up again, he dusted off his clothes and looked up at the viewers in the live stream.
That cold gaze and that lifeless face made every viewer in the live stream hug themselves and shiver.
If the Ye Bugui just now was merely impersonating the Corpse King while wearing its clothes, then the current Ye Bugui is exactly the same as the Corpse King they once saw in the dungeon.
“You did a great job.” Ye Bugui’s speech slowed down considerably, and his tone became completely devoid of emotion: “You repelled the invaders. Every living person who entered the zombie town is our enemy.”
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the house belonging to the Corpse King.
The remaining zombies climbed back into their cellars, waiting for new visitors.
Ye Bugui lay back down in the coffin, not forgetting to straighten the lid for himself.
In the darkness, he closed his eyes.
He is the Corpse King, a creature who has guarded the zombie town for thousands of years. He was born here, he was buried here, and he should lie here forever.
Unfortunately, that person came back.
Time slipped away little by little.
The black mist still lingered, and the faceless figures inside the house had been cleared away, leaving only a few people staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Does anyone know what happened inside?" Sherry asked, pressing herself against the door with some fear. Here, she couldn't even feel the passage of time, or even know what time it was.
What should they do if their roommates have already returned?
"As a teammate, can I see his live stream?" Lu Shi suddenly remembered that Ye Bugui seemed to have seen his comments when they first entered the dungeon.
“No, you can only see his comments, and the system will block all game-related messages.” Zi Ling looked at Lu Shi with some hesitation: “Besides, I suspect that your current game console can no longer access your teammates’ information.”
Lu Shi naturally wouldn't give up just because of Zi Ling's words. He calmly turned on the game console and quickly found the team mode.
Soon, a look of disappointment appeared on Lu Shi's face.
On the game console, the teammates' status was displayed as "hacked".
"I hope nothing bad has happened to him." Lu Shi touched his long hair and asked with some concern.
"Should we go back first?" Shirley said softly. "I know it would be really unfair to just abandon Brother Ye if something happened to him. But if we stay here, and our roommates all go home after get off work, we'll all be wiped out. Call me selfish if you want, but I don't think we should just sit here and wait to die."
Lu Shi wasn't angry; he understood Shirley's actions perfectly: "You're right, you guys go out first, I'll wait here."
“But,” Cao Ran glanced at Lu Shi and couldn’t help but add, “Why don’t you come with us? What if you encounter danger again if you stay here alone?”
