Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"The concentration of the Gift of Death has increased. The current concentration is 10%."

"Strength is restored, chains can no longer resist your strength, equipment and skills return to normal and can be used"

The system sent a prompt, but it sounded a little wrong, as if it had gained intelligence.

With a slight effort, Han Zu could feel that the chains that locked his arms and neck loosened slightly. However, Han Zu did not rush to break free. He must have some ideas.

Han Zu was not very sensitive to the passage of time, but two-thirds of the water in the pool where Han Zu was located had been absorbed by him. Now it only covered Han Zu's kneeling thighs, and his waist was completely exposed above the liquid surface.

The footsteps of the beast were heard, and the cute dogs came back, jumped into the pool, surrounded him, and affectionately nudged Han Zu's body with their heads.

"Did you find it, babies?"

"Ugh..."

The Death Hounds didn't find what Han Zu said, and they were in low spirits. They lay dejectedly in the pool, their mouths drooping, making a lot of bubbles in the liquid.

"It's okay, it's okay. The town doesn't look small. It's normal that we can't find it. Be happy!"

"Woo?"

The Death Hounds seemed a little bit unbelievable. It seemed that the people in front of them were too friendly to them, as if they were real good partners. Of course, this was indeed the case. For some reason, Han Zu, who liked animals more than people, liked the Death Hounds that other creatures avoided. These furry "little guys" were quiet and obedient.

And they don’t shed.

These Death Hounds liked the person in front of them even more and soon treated him as their master.

Han Zu looked at the pool and thought of something. He lowered his head and said something among the hounds. The hounds quickly understood what he meant and scattered.

They destroyed all the light sources in the cave. Except for the incandescent lamp hanging on the wall at the entrance of the mine, there was no other lighting equipment in the whole cave. The whole cave was pitch black.

Han Zu was thinking about something in the dark. The Death Realm Hounds lay around him, very quietly, with their eyes closed, as if they were sleeping. The cave fell into a dead silence.

After an unknown amount of time, the hounds suddenly raised their heads and looked towards the entrance of the cave.

“Tread…Tread…”

A few minutes later, footsteps were heard outside the cave, and it sounded like two people's footsteps.

"Shh..."

Han Zu reminded softly, and the hounds lay down facing the entrance of the cave and kept quiet. They narrowed their eyes into slits, and observed quietly while hiding the strange red light in their eyes. Han Zu closed his eyes and pretended that he had never woken up.

I heard footsteps approaching, and it sounded like they walked to the pool, stopped, and started talking.

"Why are the lights out here?"

"That's not important. Ah~ This must be the opportunity given to us by the Lord! I didn't expect there are giants in this world. His body is so perfect! He is the most perfect vessel for the Lord to come to the world!"

"What about those damn wild dogs? Although we told those believers that they are servants of the Lord, in fact, you and I both know that no one knows where those things come from."

"None of that matters! Once the ceremony is over and God descends upon the earth, those wild dogs won't be a problem at all."

"But didn't the ritual fail once? We can't make that giant bleed."

"God has given me a revelation, and I have found another way, but to ensure it is foolproof, I must keep it secret for now... By the way, have you found the stranger?"

"Not yet, Your Excellency, but she killed Ralph in his gas station."

"She? How can you be sure that the stranger is a woman?"

"One of Ralph's prey survived. She was frightened and stunned, but our people managed to restore her consciousness and learned from her what the stranger looked like."

Han Zu listened carefully to the conversation between the two, and through their description of the "foreigner", he determined that she should be Lu An. Han Zu did not say anything, but continued to listen to their conversation and get information from it.

"And what about Ralph's prey?"

"It seems that we were too harsh in restoring her sanity. After she finished speaking, she died. We threw her into the incinerator."

"Well done. The Lord does not like dead sacrifices."

"What do you need me to do, Your Excellency the High Priest?"

"Find a way to catch that foreigner. Remember, don't hurt her. After the ritual is successful, I will offer her to Allah as a sacrifice!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest, is there anything else you need us to do?"

"Hmm... go prepare some things. I need some live animals and seven women with strong faith. Go! Get ready quickly. I want to start the ceremony the next night!"

"What about that stranger? If she hides, it will be hard for us to find her within a day."

"Then ask Jim to take people to block several exits of the town. Just don't let her escape. When the Lord comes, it will be easy to catch her. Remember, keep her alive!"

"Yes!"

“Tread…Tread…”

The footsteps faded away, and the two people who were talking left the cave. When their footsteps could no longer be heard, Han Zu slowly opened his eyes.

"Woo?"

The hounds were a little confused. They felt intense emotional fluctuations from Han Zu. Although he did not make any movements, by staring into Han Zu's eyes, the hounds knew Han Zu's current emotions.

anger.

The hounds didn't know where Han Zu's anger came from, but they already regarded Han Zu as their master, and were also affected by their master's emotions. They bared their teeth towards the entrance where the two people left, and let out low growls in their throats. The red light in their eyes became brighter and brighter, and even left a trail of light in the darkness. Their paws rubbed against the ground. There was no doubt that as long as Han Zu gave an order, these horrible death hounds would rush out and tear those people into pieces.

"Hush... Be quiet, be quiet, dears. Don't let your anger affect your rationality. I have suffered a great loss because of this before..."

Han Zu gently tried to calm the restless hounds, but the hounds could sense that Han Zu's anger had not disappeared, it was just temporarily suppressed in his chest.

"Send a few of you to follow them and see what they are going to do. The rest of you, darlings, continue to look for that woman and try to bring her to me. She may attack you, but that's because she doesn't know that you are under my command. Try not to hurt her. If you feel wronged, I apologize in advance. No matter how many times she attacks you, you have to bite me a few times after you bring her back. Do you understand, darlings?"

"Woo!"

"Remember, that woman is a friend. Go ahead. If anyone tries to stop you or dares to hurt you, just eat them! If you run into trouble that you can't solve, don't be stubborn. Lead those guys to me and protect your own safety! Go, kids!"

"Woo!"

The hounds scattered and acted according to Han Zu's instructions, but two of the largest death hounds did not go out. The two of them surrounded Han Zu and did not leave.

The two Death Hounds were 3 meters long (including the tail) and about 1 meters tall at the shoulder, even larger than some adult brown bears. However, they were still smaller than Han Zu. But in the eyes of others, these two Death Hounds were undoubtedly terrifying monsters.

"Are you going to stay and protect me? Because I'm chained?"

"Woo~~"

The two hounds rubbed Han Zu affectionately, whimpering pitifully. They suddenly opened their bloody mouths and tried to bite off the chain that was locked around Han Zu's neck, but were hurriedly stopped by Han Zu.

After kissing the two hounds on their heads, Han Zu closed his eyes again, thinking about something. The two death hounds lay quietly in front of Han Zu, but if anyone dared to disturb their master, they would launch a fierce attack without hesitation.

On the bell tower at the edge of town.

After spending the night with almost no rest, Lu An felt a little tired. He leaned against the wall, holding his submachine gun, and took a nap.

The fatigue gradually eased and Lu An recovered some of his condition.

“Tread…Tread…Tread…”

Lu An was a very light sleeper. She heard footsteps coming from the stairs of the bell tower, woke up, picked up her weapon, and prepared for battle.

"boom!"

An explosion was heard, and the bomb that Lu An made using the grenade he found in the police station was triggered, taking the lives of several cultists. A short time later, Lu An heard footsteps and curses quickly approaching the top of the bell tower.

"Found it! She's...!"

"Da da!"

A cultist just ran up the stairs and saw Lu An. Before he could finish what he was saying, Lu An opened fire with his gun. A burst of shots hit the cultist in the head. His body fell down the stairs, blocking the cultists who were rushing up from behind.

Lu An leaned forward slightly at the edge of the stairs, took out a grenade, pulled the ring and waited for two seconds, then let go, allowing the grenade to fall freely and explode in the air between the stairs. The fragments killed several cultists. He quickly put on his backpack and weapon, and walked cautiously down the stairs with his gun in hand.

"Da da!"

"Da da!"

With the sound of bursts of gunfire, Lu An quickly cleared out the cultists in the bell tower. There were not many of them, only seven or eight. He came to the first floor and quietly looked outside the bell tower. There was no one else. There were two pickup trucks parked outside, which should belong to the cultists.

Fortunately, the key of one of the cars was inserted in the car. After getting in, Lu An stepped on the accelerator and quickly left the clock tower. He could no longer stay there.

Although it was very convenient to move around with transportation, Lu An's target became bigger. Lu An found that there were people patrolling at the exits of the town. It seemed that his information should have been known by the cultists. In order to reduce attention, Lu An abandoned the car after finding a suitable hiding place. He walked to the back door of the house chosen as the hiding place and quietly observed the situation inside through the window.

The door was not locked, so Lu An quietly opened it and slipped in.

The house is an ordinary two-story building. The reason why it was chosen as the second hiding place is because of the geographical location of the house. The house is located on the west side of the town. The terrain here is relatively high compared to other places in the town. There are roads on all sides and it is not close to other buildings, which is convenient for escape.

Holding a gun, Lu An searched the room. The first floor was no different from the homes of ordinary small town residents, and it was very clean. The second floor had two bedrooms and a bathroom. There was no one in either bedroom. The bathroom door was locked, and there was a sound of water coming from inside, so someone should be taking a shower.

He returned to the first floor, locked the front and back doors, and closed all the windows. However, in order not to attract attention, he did not draw the curtains. He returned to the bathroom on the second floor and hid on one side of the bathroom door. Lu An pointed the gun forward and looked down. OK, the shadow was not facing the front, so he would not expose himself.

A few minutes later, the sound of water stopped, and the sound of wet slippers stepping on tiles came from the bathroom. It seemed that someone was wiping his hair in front of the mirror. The glass on the bathroom door was frosted and only let in light, so I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
