Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

The person at the very front of the crowd, seeing that everyone had arrived, held up a loudspeaker and shouted, "Collect your hotel room cards and security uniforms here. After you've collected them, go back to your rooms and rest. Someone will come and call you when it's time."

Following this, everyone lined up in an orderly fashion to receive their room cards and uniforms.

Most people's rooms were on the first to third floors, with only a very few assigned to the sixth floor.

Li Chenqiu and Li Qingxia were assigned to room 628 on the sixth floor. This was a double room, located on the far west side of the corridor, also the furthest room from the stairwell.

After dealing with a series of chaotic matters, the crowd gradually left the parking lot. Li Chenqiu and Li Qingxia didn't linger outside, heading to their assigned room early.

The room's layout was conventional: a double bed and a bathroom.

Li Chenqiu lay on the bed, quietly staring at the ceiling, as if contemplating something.

"It's over, I really can't get through!" Li Qingxia said, staring at the signal bars on his phone.

"They're not stupid, how could they give you the chance to leak information?" Li Chenqiu rolled his eyes at Li Qingxia speechlessly.

"Damn it, why didn't you tell me beforehand that there were so many Resurrectors here?" Li Qingxia pressed his phone into the blanket and turned to look at Li Chenqiu.

Li Chenqiu sat up and said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you? You insisted on coming yourself."

"I..." Li Qingxia stammered for a long time, unable to say anything, and finally sighed helplessly: "Forget it, Xiao Qiu, let's run while they haven't decided to act, maybe we'll still make it."

"Run? Go look at the hotel surroundings by the window and see if there's anyone there." Li Chenqiu said, pointing to the window.

Li Qingxia walked over with suspicion, looking down at the surroundings. After a few seconds, his expression changed from doubt to surprise.

As Li Chenqiu said, every hundred meters along the hotel's perimeter wall, several idle youths were squatting, smoking.

"There are probably over two hundred Resurrectors on the five buses. Besides them, there are other Resurrectors present, but I don't know how many. If we want to get out, a fight is unavoidable," Li Chenqiu said calmly.

Hearing this, Li Qingxia's face turned pale, and he stiffly retreated a few steps, sitting on the bed.

Li Chenqiu ignored Li Qingxia and said to himself: "Bro, why do you think they want to gather so many Resurrectors? Everything boils down to either profit or hatred. What are they after?

If it's profit, what kind of profit could drive so many Resurrectors? It shouldn't be as simple as killing and eating people, or retaliating against society!"

The more Li Chenqiu thought about it, the wider his grin became, while Li Qingxia's face grew paler with each word.

At the same time, inside a room on the first floor of the hotel.

A dark-skinned, burly man was lying naked on the soft bed. Two scantily clad women were kneeling on either side of his knees, massaging the man's thighs tremulously.

"Relax me properly. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, you'll get to live," the man said casually.

Knock, knock, knock!

A knock came from the door.

"Come in," the man shouted towards the door.

The door slowly opened, and a scholarly-looking young man walked in. This person was none other than the person who had been sitting next to Li Chenqiu earlier.

"Wan Qing, what's the matter?" the man asked in a deep voice.

Wan Qing didn't speak, but looked at the two women kneeling on the bed.

The man sat up impatiently, grabbed the dagger on the bedside table, and slashed it towards the two women's necks with lightning speed.

Pfft!

Bright red blood spurted out, dotting the pure white quilt with crimson spots.

The man wiped the blood that had splashed on his face with a pillow towel, and with a casual kick, the two women's corpses fell to the floor like mud.

"Brother Xu, everyone has been settled," Wan Qing said respectfully.

Xu Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Good, follow the plan from above. Also, tell the brothers to rest up. Tonight, we might have a tough battle with the New World."

"A tough battle?" Wan Qing frowned slightly: "Aren't we, the Underworld, supposed to be cooperating with the New World this time?"

"The cooperation is just to open that Sealed Weapon Box. Who gets the contents of the box will depend on strength. Otherwise, why would we gather so many ghost soldiers for such a small matter as opening the box, and even have Lord Horse-Face personally come down?" Xu Yuan explained calmly.

"I see." Wan Qing nodded: "Oh right, Brother Xu, do you remember what I told you last time, about how my ability sensed a top-tier Third-Order Restricted lifeform a few days ago?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Wan Qing said with a solemn expression: "I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, but that person got on the bus and also found out that I'm a Resurrector."

"What!" Xu Yuan's eyes instantly turned sharp: "Is it someone from the Security and Control Division? Do they know about our plans?"

Wan Qing narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "This person doesn't know anything about our plans and acts very rashly. The Security and Control Division wouldn't do something so reckless. Also, this person is very timid. After our people glared at him, he stopped talking."

Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Where is that person now?"

"I've settled him in room 628 of the hotel," Wan Qing said, pointing upwards.

"If it's not someone from the Security and Control Division, then everything is easy to handle. Later, take the brothers from the first and second floors to meet Lord Horse-Face. I and the other brothers will finish off the people in the hotel and then come to join you," Xu Yuan instructed.

At this time, Li Chenqiu was completely unaware of the impending danger and was slurping instant noodles with Li Qingxia.

...

...

An hour passed in a flash, and it was soon half-past five.

"Xiao Qiu, some of the security guards have gone out. Let's hurry up and leave too!" Li Qingxia said, pointing at the hotel entrance from the window.

"They said they'd notify us when it's time. They haven't notified us yet, what are you rushing for?" Li Chenqiu said casually, lying on the bed.

Li Qingxia ran anxiously to Li Chenqiu's side: "What I mean is, let's blend into the crowd and then sneak out halfway. Who wants to work this crappy shift?"

As he spoke, Li Qingxia forcefully dragged Li Chenqiu's arm, trying to pull him off the bed.

But Li Chenqiu was like a weight, as steady as Mount Tai, not moving at all.

"Why do you always treat others like idiots? Are they villains? Do they lose intelligence when they encounter you, the protagonist?"

"Then we can't just sit here and wait for death!" Li Qingxia said helplessly.

"Who said waiting is just sitting here and waiting for death?" Li Chenqiu turned over and got out of bed, walked to the window, and looked down: "Looks like these people don't plan to play with me."

"Ahhh!"

Just then, a terrified scream came from downstairs.
