I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 1015 534: Ghost Survivor Sanctuary

"Found it, didn't expect *** to be right, this really is the gathering place for Ghost Survivors." Shura looked at a certain area not far away and could easily sense a familiar feeling.

This area was similar to the protection zone formed during the first level's protection time. The difference was that the first level's protection time was more like child's play, while here it not only had higher intensity but also had no time limit, spanning the entire city.

"Is it a double BOSS, or are the two actually one entity?"

"With this set of equipment, I could fight a BOSS, but this time the task is no longer to just defeat a BOSS."

Shura wasn't sure what was happening, and acting rashly would be detrimental to the entire mission.

The mission was to clean up the entire city's ghosts, not just the BOSS and the Ghost Survivors but also all the Zombies.

This was just the surface mission; perhaps it also required cutting off some of the All Ghosts Survival Platform's erosion.

So Shura actually leaned towards the level having two BOSSes this time.

One was this gray fog, which he guessed to be the source of the Zombies.

The other was the area that sheltered Ghost Survivors, transformed from the city's humans into ghosts, likely located in the BOSS's room.

Otherwise, how could it match the reward?

"The Ghost Survivors and Zombies are isolated, getting in won't be easy."

"I wonder if this set of equipment can successfully break through?" Shura glanced at the equipment in his inventory; even though Gu Shanhai always said these things were counterfeit knock-offs, judging by the attributes and effects, at most they were replicas, not outright fakes.

"No need to rush, let's investigate the Bai Gui Sect situation, gathering intelligence is the priority."

This whole thing absolutely couldn't be separated from the Bai Gui Sect, but this time it's likely not the entire city full of their Believers; it's more plausible that the Bai Gui Sect climbed up high through some means and then sacrificed the entire city through authority.

Otherwise, with millions of Believers in the Bai Gui Sect, they wouldn't need to hide; they could openly control a territory.

As for why the city fell into this state, it's likely because it became irredeemable and was abandoned by the human world, and most probably used as some kind of barrier to block the All Ghosts Survival Platform's infiltration.

Otherwise, the fourth level wouldn't be so starkly different from the third one.

"Let's move first." Shura's figure gradually faded, stealth, invisibility, and other methods he certainly knew as a loner; infiltration was inevitable, although most of the time he would be discovered and forced to fight head-on.

Since he wasn't a specialized player, his skills might be a bit high, but due to a lack of specialization, the effects were rather ordinary, just normal effects, unlike his blade skills, which gained various powerful effects and enhancements.

"Let's check out the municipal department, hopefully, the materials are still there." Shura was well aware that to conduct a sacrifice, there must be an Array.

And the engineering required for an Array covering the entire city wouldn't be small.

First, there had to be an official lead, and such things would likely have been recorded at the municipal department. Even if not, there would be some information he could use. Through his textual simulation, he could find clues and gradually uncover the truth.

It would be best to find a backup of the design and give it to Gu Shanhai.

Even though Gu Shanhai was a bit slow to react now, if he could create a layout from the design, like changing the Array's nature from Transformation Array to an Extinguishing Array, his difficulty would drop several times.

Of course, this was just Shura's idea; whether it would succeed was unknown, as many things don't go as desired.

The reason for his thinking was simple: Gu Shanhai, suspected of being at level one thousand, had extraordinary power, making it impossible to ignore, perhaps only lacking this detail.

"Speaking of which, could ***'s sudden skill evolution be the First Age's doing? Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?" Shura suddenly thought of this, frowning.

"If so, why suddenly target two individuals, myself and the Great Heaven tier? Are they testing our potential?"

Targeting Gu Shanhai? In Shura's eyes, that's impossible, the bigger possibility was targeting the two of them.

Skill evolution was a boon to any player, a great boon, even if it required completing a task. Such tasks weren't limited to any particular world and wouldn't disappear upon failure, they'd simply restart.

So there were plenty of opportunities for trial and error.

What? Letting Gu Shanhai give up the skill evolution opportunity.

He wanted to say that, but couldn't; it was like someone asking him to give up the instance's benefits.

Moreover, Gu Shanhai couldn't give up even if he wanted; a skill evolution task has only two states: successful evolution and evolving.

This means the task can't be abandoned, and will restart if failed, proceeding without needing your acceptance.

Having experienced this himself, Shura definitely wouldn't say something so foolish.

"Forget it, dwelling on this is meaningless." Shura quickly put it aside, even if the First Age truly targeted him, what could be done about it?
