My Doomsday Simulator Game.

Chapter 36 36. The Mysterious Fire Bearer

"Am I dreaming?"

Wang Chengzhi pinched his arm hastily, and the pain was clearly transmitted back to his head, scaring him.

This is not a dream!

A huge black shadow sat on the throne, tapping with its slender, dry fingers.

Illusions came like a tide, time and space rotated, and Wang Chengzhi witnessed from a third-party perspective the void swallowing the sun and his own tragic death at the hands of the black-robed jailer. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"Boss, is this true?"

The shadow laughed hoarsely, "Let me calculate. You have less than a month left before you die."

Wang Chengzhi was shocked and came to his senses. The horrific scene in the corridor of the apartment building disappeared from his sight and was placed in a box like a miniature model.

The blood-red light around him lit up, and the Shadow Demon appeared in front of him.

"Boy, do you want to live?"

Wang Chengzhi swallowed his breath and felt something was wrong. It was like the devil was bewitching mortals.

But when he thought of everything he had just seen, he nodded slowly.

The shadows around the Shadow Demon laughed and flew towards Wang Chengzhi, circling around his body, as if sizing him up.

The Shadow Demon spoke, "I am the heir of the flame of the previous era, and I use shadows to protect the glory of the flame."

"As the immortal of the new era, it's time for you to take on this flame."

The dry and cold knuckles stretched out, the palm was bony and the veins were wriggling.

On this terrifying palm, a ball of fire illuminated the darkness and surrounded Wang Chengzhi's entire body with warmth.

"From today on, you will be the second Firebringer."

Wang Chengzhi hurriedly asked, "Who else is ahead?"

He didn't wait for a response before he was engulfed in flames and woke up in his room.

It was dark and quiet outside the window, and it was already late at night.

"Was that a nightmare?" Wang Chengzhi touched his cheek, which still had the warmth from the fire.

He looked down and saw a bead that looked like an eye staring at him. He was so frightened that he almost threw the eye away.

"That person left it for me?"

"It seems that he called me the Firebringer. Does that mean that the trajectory of my life is about to change and I will embark on the path of becoming the protagonist?"

Thinking of this, the fear gradually faded away. Wang Chengzhi was delighted and began to figure out how to use the soul orb.

Su Hong watched him from the shadows and smiled.

If Wang Chengzhi could survive the apocalypse, relying on the terrifying existence residing in his body, he might be able to join the undead forces and become a powerful one among them.

But before all this happened, he had become a glorious fire bearer working for him.

Leaving the shadow servant to guard Wang Chengzhi, Su Hong lay back on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Su Hong checked on Wang Chengzhi's condition. This guy stayed up all night studying the soul orb.

After the excitement faded away, he fell into a deep sleep again.

In fact, Su Hong had no expectations that Wang Chengzhi would master the Soul Orb. After all, disaster items could not be used by just anyone, and the issue of compatibility also had to be considered.

But surprisingly, the soul orb, which had originally had no reaction, turned into a faint light and drilled into the corners of Wang Chengzhi's eyes after he fell asleep, and began to take effect.

Su Hong was thoughtful. It seemed that the compatibility between the undead and disaster items was not fixed. It just required certain conditions to be met.

Forgetting Wang Chengzhi, Su Hong sat at the dining table, eating breakfast while browsing the news. Countless pieces of information flashed down, and a strange piece of news caught his eye - serial murders are happening again! The number of victims reached twelve, and the wealthy man in Longshan Villa Park was brutally murdered at home...

He calmly drank a mouthful of hot water, his expression unchanged. In Zhou Hong's memory, the serial murders in Sheng City were related to the minions of different factions.

Not only that, Li Jian will also appear at Longshan Villa Garden today.

Today is a good time to contact the current Protz family.

……

Shangyun District, Longshan Villa Park.

As a famous high-end residential area in Sheng City, Longshan Villa Garden faces Sheng River and is surrounded by green willows and flowers. It is quiet and peaceful on weekdays. Almost all the wealthy people with names in Sheng City have a villa here.

But today, the shrill sound of sirens broke the tranquility of the community.

In front of the gate of a villa near the Shengjiang River, the police set up a white cordon and blocked the villa and the nearby road.

Not long after, a matte black van passed through layers of security and successfully stopped on the road in front of the villa gate.

The car door opened, black tactical boots fell to the ground, and a man wearing combat uniform, with a holster and a long object covered with black cloth on his waist, walked out.

"Officer Li, thank you for your help." The police came over.

Different from them, the man in front of him was from the Special Criminal Investigation Team. It was said that there were many talented people in the team and they were very efficient in solving criminal cases.

Even the chief had to be polite to these special police officers, and they dared not neglect them.

Li Jian looked at the villa in front of him and could vaguely feel an ominous atmosphere emanating from it, which made him frown.

He placed his hand on the long strip of black cloth and asked, "What's the situation inside?"

The police quickly opened the folder and found that there were three dead people, namely Zhang Dinghua, the boss of the listed company Shengkang Pharmaceutical, his wife Zhou Qiurong and nanny Chen Lan.

"After preliminary identification, the modus operandi of this case is exactly the same as that of the landlord incident in Qinghai District. The deceased was covered in blood and flesh, with incomplete skin and all internal organs missing, as if they had been gnawed clean by something."

"The murderer has not yet been identified, and we cannot rule out a copycat murder."

Li Jian fell into deep thought. After a while, he took a step and walked inside. "You guys stay on guard outside. I'll go in and investigate."

"it is good."

Li Jian stepped into the gate and took off the black cloth, revealing a plain steel scabbard. He pressed his palm on the hilt, and the bronze ring on his ring finger emitted a faint bloody light, lingering around the scabbard.

After all personnel evacuated the villa, he walked into the hall and saw the body of a man lying on the ground.

Five or six hours had passed since the death of the villa owner. The blood on the ground had almost dried up. The body was black and red, with bent hand bones and bite marks all over the body. Not a single piece of skin was intact.

What was even more disgusting was that there was a gaping hole in the corpse's abdomen, with the ribs piercing through the flesh and blood turning outward, and the inside was completely empty. Only the eerie spine and accumulated blood plasma could be seen, like a flesh and blood cup with residual wine.

It makes people feel physically uncomfortable and want to vomit.

Li Jian's face looked a little ugly. Even though he had dealt with no less than four similar incidents, he still felt disgusted subconsciously.

"Damn divergent minions."

He drew out his sword, stepped over the body of the male owner of the villa, searched the entire villa, and found the bodies of the hostess and the nanny in the corridor.

The two men seemed to have been dragged by a monster before they died. The bloodstains dyed the entire corridor red. The bodies were already cold, and the way they died was not much different from Zhang Dinghua's.

Li Jian stood up and sighed slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, the minions of the disagreement would be allowed to go unpunished again this time.

"Hehe, human, you seem to be troubled." A snickering sound came from the darkness of the room.

Li Jian was shocked, blood mist surged in his body, and the Giant's Heart was almost released.

He pointed his sword at the dark corner of the corridor room and shouted: "Who's there!"

"Are you talking to me?"

The shadow spread out, dimming the corridor that was originally brightly lit.
