Male Succubus Apocalypse

Chapter 27: Study of the Law of the Dead

The next day, Xu Heng got up early, with a gloomy face, and let the male succubi disperse at the door.

After Xu Heng left, the eight male succubi went out for a walk first, and then gathered again in the tavern as planned.

The eight people sat down in the restaurant, each with their own thoughts. They looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

"Okay! You all are good at lying!" Nolan said heartlessly.

Ma Qi held his head and looked at him like a fool and said, "If even you can tell that they are lying, then shouldn't Brother Heng know it too?"

"No, what's wrong with me? Am I that stupid?" Nolan quickly slapped March's hand away and said unconvinced.

"You are not stupid, and Brother Heng is even less stupid! Now we have to think about how we were exposed. Last night, it was obvious that he was trying to warn us..." Machi fell into deep thought, and everyone stopped laughing.

"But if he really knew, wouldn't he have beaten us to death with a rolling pin last night? And how did he know what we were doing? Following us? But it's impossible to follow everyone..."

"You still have some brains. That's the problem. Yesterday, he ordered all of us. But why?"

As soon as the question was asked, everyone fell silent. They were very surprised yesterday and were unable to sleep the whole night after Xu Heng talked about it openly and secretly.

"Um..." At this time, Kevin raised his little hand, "Brother Heng saw me playing with my elder sister yesterday, and then..."

Then, Kevin told him everything that happened yesterday.

"The library. Brother Heng must have run into you in the library. He would definitely have gone there. If it's based on your description, then it's probably a coincidence. Otherwise, he would have jumped out when you met him..." Machi stroked his chin, analyzing, then glanced at the brothers and asked, "Did you see Brother Heng when you were outside?"

But the answer was always “no”.

This made Machi very distressed. He couldn't understand why, because if Xu Heng had some means to detect what they were doing, he would have stopped them before it happened.

His attitude should have been more irritable, or he should have been uncertain, but Xu Heng was so strange yesterday.

As we all know, male succubi can sense emotions. They had just come in yesterday, and Xu Heng's emotions were indeed fluctuating greatly, but they had all made special mental preparations for this, so the emotion of guilt was not actually obvious.

Of course, after being pressed one by one, most of them broke down. No matter how perfect their plan was, it was too late to remedy the situation.

But why was he caught at the very beginning?

Machi racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

They were also lucky that nothing happened, otherwise they would have known the truth.

"Brother Machi, are we still going today to... do that thing?" Kevin asked cautiously, looking very conflicted.

"Of course we will go. We...we can't live under Brother Heng's protection all our lives...and this is the protection he earned with his own sacrifice..." Nolan interrupted and spoke excitedly, but the more he spoke, the more melancholy he became.

This is what everyone really thinks. To them, it is a very heavy and guilty matter. Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately changed.

However, everyone looked at March, who served as the think tank, and everyone wanted to know his thoughts.

"Well, I think we should go, because I have found a way to complete the one-month goal. If we can prove that we have the ability to survive on our own within this month, Brother Heng may not have to continue negotiating with Vivian. He may even ask to terminate the contract..."

……

"Xu Heng, how does he know that you can make all kinds of requests to Vivian?" Julie asked in confusion as she listened to Quess's retelling.

"Damn it, before the plan was implemented, Machi was the first one to object. In order to appease him, I told him that I could exchange my value for freedom. I didn't expect that he would really listen to me." Xu Heng listened and felt annoyed.

"Then you shot this boomerang yourself, hahaha, it's because you like to fool people!" Julie laughed decisively.

Xu Heng understood March's mental journey. He probably felt that the reason he was willing to be Vivian's servant was to gain more opportunities for them. It was an act of sacrificing himself to fulfill the wishes of others.

Although this was indeed part of the reason, it was more because Xu Heng wanted to find a backer so that he could live with free food and drink. His understanding of the dangers of the world was deeper than that of Machi and the others.

Moreover, for Xu Heng, this is not a sacrifice, but a transaction. He can give Vivian enough benefits, and then Vivian will return them, which is a kind of value exchange. He believes that this is the fastest, most effective and safest way.

All we can say is that different angles, different perspectives, and different experiences have led to all kinds of misunderstandings.

"Alas, I can't do anything about it. They mean well. After a month, when Vivian sees their value and agrees to provide shelter for the gigolo club, I'll let them go solo. The children have grown up." Xu Heng couldn't find any other solution. Anyway, their lives would not be in any danger, so for now he could only deal with it coldly.

Even though he's not married yet and is still a virgin, Xu Heng already feels like an old father. What kind of emotions are he feeling...

"Then you should focus on yourself first. Let's go and pick up the body." Julie stopped talking to him and reminded Xu Heng to do his job.

At this time, Xu Heng was following Quessus in Dany's tavern, walking around. When they came to a door that smelled of blood, Quessus knocked on it and said, "Shadow Tiger, come and dig up the body."

After a while, the door opened and Xu Heng followed him in.

There was a large space inside, with trundle beds similar to those found in hospital morgues, but without bed covers, just wooden boards, with lifeless bodies lying on them.

Because they were freshly taken out of the Death Arena, they were still dripping with blood, and their parts were scattered all over the place. Some had exploded compartments, and some were killed in unknown ways and were crushed flat.

In short, the floor was stained red with blood, and blood flowed like a river, which is very vivid.

The air was filled with a strong smell of rust. If an ordinary person came in, most would vomit violently. Fortunately, Xu Heng was very familiar with the environment and it was similar to the nest.

The feeling of home, of belonging.

But there was no one inside, not a single living person. Xu Heng looked at Quessus, seeking an answer.

"I'm a senior member of the tavern. If you want to buy a corpse, just tell me the name and they will clear the place for me." Quessus said.

Wow, he is worthy of being the Deathmatch King player and he gets such treatment.

During the conversation, Xu Heng couldn't help but feel weird.

How come buying someone's body is like shopping at a luxury mall? You need a membership? You need to clear the place? Are you going to auction it off or something?

With this funny idea in mind, Xu Heng immediately asked Julie in his mind: "Do you Necromancers bargain for corpses, and then bid or something?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you are also... Yes, how do you know? Good materials are in great demand!" Julie said righteously.

Indeed, in the eyes of most people, corpses are things that need to be respected or perhaps feared, but to necromancers, they are just like mechanical parts, materials and consumables.

Xu Heng didn't waste any words. He walked on the floor which was covered with blood clots, and approached each corpse. He looked around, sometimes touched, sometimes knocked. The more he thought about it, the more it felt like picking watermelons and pork in the vegetable market.

"Remember what I told you, the fresher the better, the more resentful the better, the more complete the better. Turn it over to see if there are any corpse spots, move it to see if there is rigor mortis, and look at the color of the blood..." Julie reminded herself in her mind and passed on her experience.

"I know, I know!" Xu Heng didn't expect the process of selecting corpses to be so strange. It was like learning the art of death.

Because it is a soul system, Xu Heng focuses on finding those with heavy death energy.

If the necromancer only took away corpses, he might not be so hated. The main reason is that corpses with a lot of resentment are hard to come by. Generally, you need the corpses of strong people to get them, but there are not enough of them, not to mention the lower ones.

Then people have to create them. How? Catch them and torture them, or kill their entire family. This is one of the reasons why people hate necromancers.

"Alas, there is no store specializing in corpses, and the quality of these is just so-so. Next time you have to go to the Middle Land to find the Black Domain." Julie mentioned this, looking like someone who has seen the world and is deliberately showing off.

"Wait, the Middle Land? The Black Domain? What is that?" Xu Heng became curious. He had never heard of it.

"You really don't know? Although there is no specific record in the book and it is also very obscure in history, Vivian's Mage Tower is in the gap between the spaces in the Middle Land!"

"Ah? Would you like to tell me more about it?"

The middle place.

Just like its common name, it is located in the middle of the continent, but slightly to the east.

Ordinary people can't find it there.

Let’s first talk about why it was built - after the War of Nations, in order to maintain a balance in development among each other, and in order for major forces to contain each other, they specially divided a neutral zone at the border between them, that is, the central region.

It is called a neutral zone, but it is not neutral. In addition to serving as a political buffer zone for negotiation, it also provides a space for the strong to "communicate" - to settle grievances or make deals, because the number of strong people born after the war is unprecedented. In order to give them a place to go and not wander around, such a place was set up.

But the strong cannot be restrained by the countries at all. If they don’t want to, there is no possibility of establishing it.

The forces in the Middle Land include a movable fortress with long-term garrisons, also known as the Magician's Kingdom "Rainbow Island". Its original form was a floating island academy that provided a place and communication platform for senior wizards who wanted to concentrate on studying magic.

Later, it gradually became an independent organization, recruiting the world's top magic talents as students, and setting up various magical buildings and arrays on the island for experimental or protective purposes.

It can be said that the world's top magic resources are all on "Rainbow Island". No matter how talented or evil a person is, they are not good enough anywhere else, and no one dares to mess with them. Many ultimate wizards are even listed as honorary professors on the island.

Not for any other reason, they give me money!

Clara and Julie are both nominal teachers on "Rainbow Island", where everyone only pursues the mysteries of magic and puts aside worldly desires and hatred.

The implicit political element is that if other countries want to attack through the central region, then "Rainbow Island" can be used as a buffer zone for negotiations, because no one wants to provoke these wizards who are usually quiet but can destroy the world when they get angry.

In addition to "Rainbow Island", there is another place that needs to be mentioned, which is called "Warrior's Own Rainbow Island". It is located on the top of a mountain range across the central part of the country. Because it is so high that it reaches the clouds, it is called "Gate of Heaven" by people.

No one knows where it came from, but perhaps some masters with conscience did not want the battle to affect mortals, so they decided to fight on the top of the mountain. After a battle, a crack was cut across the mountain. Looking from the bottom up, it looked like a road leading to heaven. The place of the battle was the gate to heaven.

Therefore it is called "Tianmen".

Since the War of Nations, countless warriors and strong men have come here to fight privately to settle the grievances of the war. It can be said that this has suddenly become a trend.

Since it was a fair fight to the death, the majority were "weapon type" and "force attack type". Then the "Tianxin Sword Saint" appeared out of nowhere, was invincible in the world, and after killing the previous generation of weapon type super soldier, he proclaimed himself the number one soldier, challenging all the strong soldiers in the world, which further triggered the grand occasion of the Tianmen competition of "Swordsmanship on Mount Huashan".

Afterwards, Tianxin Sword Saint defeated the "strong attack type" super warrior "Quan Zong" and the skill type super warrior "Tang Sect Master" successively, and was recognized by the world as the number one warrior. He defended the title many times. With a long sword and thousands of changes in moves, he quickly led the trend of warriors practicing swords.

As a result, the proportion of weapon-type soldiers in Tianmen has greatly increased, and the number of swordsmen among weapon-type soldiers has also greatly increased. Once you enter Tianmen, swordsmen can be seen everywhere, and it has truly become a "Swordsman Contest on Mount Huashan".

People now jokingly call Tianmen "Tianjianmen".

“But the reason why Tianmen has become so distorted is because Tianxin Sword Saint is too arrogant and conceited, and his story makes young people lose their heads.” Julie added here.

"Oh? Go ahead." Xu Heng was fascinated by what he heard.

"He was said to have average talent originally, but his family was wiped out by the previous generation of super soldiers. After that, he rebounded with hatred, kept a low profile, fought hard in the war, and finally achieved enlightenment. He often said things like 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west.' After becoming stronger, he often fought against the so-called evil. When he reached the top, he was still clamoring everywhere. He was both flamboyant and heroic, and attracted countless people to admire him. He even said arrogantly: 'The sword is the best weapon in the world.'" Julie recalled.

Got it, he's still a chuunibyou, and "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west" doesn't mean that Tianxin Sword Saint is also a time traveler, this saying does exist in this world.

Sometimes it's just a coincidence.

"So, you and he are from the same era?"

"I'm not sure about that, but I did participate in the War of Nations. However, I was just a small fry under the Lord of the Dead at the time. History seems to say that we took advantage of the situation to rob, but in fact, we didn't interfere much."

"I see. Is there anything else? What about the Black Domain?"

"Yes, of course."

The Black Domain, unlike the open and aboveboard Tianmen, is where various shady forces are stationed.

During the war, these forces took advantage of the situation, and after the war subsided, they were inevitably cleaned up. Some of them gathered in the Central Plains for the purpose of surviving, and some for other purposes. There were also reasons why various countries deliberately drove away the "rats".

Assassins, necromancers and even demons can all be found in the Black Domain, and when it comes to business, they naturally sell all kinds of things, both those that can and cannot be sold.

It's a large, high-end black market.

The headquarters of Yuna's original killer organization is in the Black Domain.

It sells high-level corpses, provides a bounty platform, assassination services, and you can buy slaves you dare not think of - elves, demons, and even dragons and Titans. There are also dark magic tools, fresh souls, and special products of the abyss. There is everything you can think of.

"Then let's go sometime?"

"Go? There are so many level 6 and 7 warriors there, and they are all very ferocious. Are you still going with your current strength?"

"What are you afraid of? At worst, you can ask Vivian to expose the problem."

"No, you are so clear about Vivian's strength now?"

"Ah? She...she really could have raised something?"

"It may not be possible to defeat all the powerful people hidden inside, but Vivian can definitely make the time and space there collapse... The reputation of the natural disaster is not nonsense..."

silence.
