Wu Suowei then put away his phone, glanced at it, and started a new game. "Don't know, never seen it, probably a new model."
This guy was still being his usual imperious self.
Duan Chen examined the completely shriveled corpse husk. It was as thin as a piece of paper, as if the strength and speed from just moments ago were merely an illusion.
Ao Ge's subordinates were also like this. Seeing their boss reduced to ashes, they quickly panicked.
They came to this place for money and also to uphold the prestige of the Guardian Guild.
But now...
"Stay with the hostages, don't move around carelessly. I won't be responsible if you die." Duan Chen pointed at the unconscious people on the ground. "Drag these people away too, they're an eyesore."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Ao Ge's subordinates had no time to grieve and began to carry away their unconscious comrades.
Only then did Duan Chen become interested in observing the patterns on the ground.
This summoning array's pattern was very complex.
Duan Chen gathered a bit of spiritual energy in his palm and placed it on the summoning array forged with blood.
But there was no reaction.
It was as if the thing was just a pattern drawn on the ground with ordinary blood.
If it truly possessed spiritual energy, it should have reacted by now.
"This summoning array seems incomplete."
Duan Chen leaped out and shouted back, "Can't you make some noise before you speak? Are you going to die?"
"Gods are immortal." Wu Suowei scraped a bit of it with his index finger, put it in his mouth to taste, and quickly spat it out. "This thing is missing three parts. They should be on the upper three floors. The heart in the middle connects to the spiritual energy through the blood dripping from above, achieving resonance with the summoning array and then taking effect."
"Effect?"
Duan Chen didn't know when Wu Suowei acquired this ability, but who could say for sure about gods?
Still, he keenly grasped the key point.
Effect?
What effect?
It couldn't be to guide sea monsters over for a tour of Su City, could it?
Or to attract investment and jointly build a beautiful city?
Forget it!
"Don't know, information is missing."
Wu Suowei stood up and took out his phone again, intending to go online and play again.
Unfortunately...
"How did the internet suddenly disappear from this place? Void Realm?"
Wu Suowei only then noticed that the area outside the large hole he had just smashed through was blurry.
It seemed that from the moment they entered, this place had become a Void Realm.
But...
Who created this place?
"In short, if we keep going up, we'll know everything?"
"Probably." Wu Suowei put away his phone and pointed at the hostages and Ao Ge's subordinates. "What about those people?"
Duan Chen felt a headache about this. Every time they ventured into a Void Realm, it was a near-death experience. If they brought these people along...
Well, it would probably be faster to just give up.
"You have two choices: one is to follow me upwards, whether you live or die is unknown. The other is to stay here and wait for the Spirit Hunter Guild to come and clean up the mess. Your chances of rescue might be greater this way."
The group of Ao Ge's subordinates, without even thinking, shouted, "We'll stay here!"
It was a joke. Their boss had just fought with Duan Chen. Who knew what he would do to them later.
"We... will also stay here."
Some of the hostages responded weakly.
They had also witnessed Duan Chen's skills just now. He was at ease in this place, but no one knew what was upstairs.
And the first floor of the department store was a large supermarket. They had food and drink to wait for rescue and didn't need to go on an adventure with a stranger.
"I'll go with you."
The young woman's voice was very abrupt at this moment.
Everyone looked at the woman in a professional suit, covered in bloodstains, with shoulder-length hair.
She was tall and well-proportioned, with a full, rounded chest.
She was holding the hand of a child, who was about half her height, standing shyly beside her, clutching the hem of her clothes and peeking at Duan Chen.
This woman... has guts!
If she stayed here, in this male-dominated environment, especially in such a bizarre situation, who knew what would happen to her as the only woman.
In contrast, Duan Chen's side...
Wu Suowei was not to be mentioned; the allure of the game was greater than this woman before him.
As for Duan Chen, even less so. His thoughts were not on women right now.
"Alright, follow behind us. Don't get too close, and don't be too far." Duan Chen quickly gave a couple of instructions, and then Deadpool jumped out of the car and sat on his shoulder with the force of a mountain.
Cats are clean creatures, and he naturally couldn't step on the bloodstains all over the ground.
Duan Chen tacitly allowed Deadpool to squat on his shoulder, groom himself, and wash his face.
Thus, two and a half men, with one woman, and a cat, continued their ascent.
The environment of the department store was simple. At the main entrance was an elevator leading to the second floor.
However, Void Realms sometimes disregarded the rules of reality.
Seeing the elevator cut in half from the middle, Duan Chen had no choice but to go back to the map.
Now, they could only take the emergency stairs.
After determining the direction, Duan Chen once again led his people towards the emergency stairs.
"Sir, may I know your surname? My surname is Situ, and my name is Situ Ying. This is my son, Situ Yingzhi, who is six years old this year."
"Duan Chen, and the one next to me, you can call him Grandmaster."
Duan Chen, walking at the front, was a little dejected. He hated taking stairs, as it meant more potential trouble.
Situ Ying quickly greeted Wu Suowei. "Hello, Grandmaster."
Wu Suowei put his hands in his pockets, grunted, and said nothing more.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Situ Ying also felt that the current situation was not right, but she couldn't find a way to break the ice for a moment.
Although her job in the company involved dealing with people.
But one of them clearly had the demeanor of a shut-in, and the other...
Thinking about how he had just blown someone's head off, Situ Ying dared not say anything more.
"Uncle, are you from the Spirit Hunter Guild?"
The childish voice rang out. Situ Ying quickly covered her son's mouth.
These kinds of people probably didn't like others prying into their privacy.
"Yes, elite agent." Duan Chen didn't have time to deal with children, so he took out his identification and waved it, intending to put it away.
But before he could retract his ID, it was snatched away.
Looking down, the little brat had somehow broken free from his mother's grasp and toddled over to Duan Chen.
"Wow, this ID is so beautiful."
Situ Yingzhi held the ID in his hand, looking at it back and forth, muttering words like "beautiful" continuously.
His eyes were sparkling.
"I'm sorry, I can't control this child very well usually."
Situ Ying hurried over to apologize. "Yingzhi, hurry up and return it to Uncle."
This was the only life raft they could cling to right now. What if they offended him?
"It's fine, he's a child, let him play."
Duan Chen replied generously. Besides, it was just a common red-backed certificate; he didn't see what was so beautiful about it.
No...
Duan Chen looked at the child's innocent and naive appearance.
How did this little brat snatch the ID from his hand so easily?
Wu Suowei, walking at the back, looked at the scene ahead with a slight curl of his lips.
Low-level.
Some apostle's methods were too low-level.
But this was also a good way for Duan Chen to improve.
So he would keep them around for now and see what tricks they could pull.
Don't disappoint me.
