Chapter 332 December 17th
South China Sea, morning, Zero Antique Shop.
Jiang Chaosheng sat at the counter, stroking a cup of hot tea with his left hand, his mind wandering.
Almost all the lies told by the Mirror of Knowledge have come true.
Only the last sentence remains.
I will die on December 25th.
Today is December 5th, there are still 20 days left.
Actually, if it weren't for this life-or-death hurdle blocking his way, he would have liked to go to White Fish Village again.
There is a giant, illusory white fish in White Fish Village.
That white fish could only be seen with divine insight; it was quite magical.
Most importantly, that white fish is the subject of the legendary "White Fish Entering the Boat" story, which is deeply related to King Wu's conquest of the Shang Dynasty.
Jiang Chaosheng exhaled a breath of stale air, lowered his head, and wrote a few words in his notebook: "The Gates of Avici Hell".
Based on current understanding, Avici Hell intends to rule over the human world.
The Cowherd is the vanguard of the Avici Hell, whose main task is to kill demigods or earth-level beings.
Because of the "sealing of heaven and earth" left behind by the last emperor, the sunlight and air of the human world are extremely poisonous to creatures in the underworld.
Therefore, apart from the gods, other hellish creatures cannot descend directly to the human world; they can only do so through possession.
Perhaps, those powerful natives of hell will be greatly weakened in combat after coming to the human world.
The Cowherd's plan to deal with those demigods and earth-level beings is tantamount to paving the way for the Avici Hell to rule the human world.
As for Antique Shop Zero? That's the biggest obstacle in hell!
Jiang Chaosheng pondered, "So, my death half a month from now might be related to the Avici Hell."
He narrowed his eyes: "If I die in battle, it means that the Avici Hell will invade the human world within half a month."
Jiang Chaosheng had a bit of a headache.
I know nothing about Avici Hell, yet Avici Hell knows me better than I know myself.
Jiang Chaosheng did not believe that Niulang had not revealed the information of the manager to the Avici Hell.
The Cowherd always said he was a special manager, and Satan said the same thing.
Perhaps he was referring to his relationship with the last emperor.
Therefore, it is absolutely true that Avici Hell understands you better than you understand yourself.
What's more, there's also an old cat—Prince Mingdeng—who knows a lot about the Zero Antique Shop.
Just then, the wind chimes on the gate rang.
Jiang Chaosheng looked up and saw Yang Xiao.
There was also... a very dignified blonde foreign beauty.
Yang Xiao finally returned to Zero Antique Shop. Suppressing his excitement, he knelt on one knee and said, "Sir, I'm back."
Jiang Chaosheng nodded slightly: "You did a very good job with your task."
As soon as Yang Xiao got off the plane, she couldn't wait to send a message to Jiang Chaosheng.
He was told that the Ghost Inspection Bureau of the United States was now under his control and was managed by Quinn.
Yang Xiao's eyes widened: "I have another surprise for you, the one you've been most looking forward to: information about the Gates of Avici Hell!"
Jiang Chaosheng had a smile on his lips.
Yang Xiao has never let himself down.
With information about the Gates of Hell, we won't be passive in every situation.
Yang Xiao stood up and handed a notebook to Jiang Chaosheng, saying, "This notebook belongs to the Dark Council Chairman..."
""
Last night, after devouring the shadow of that extremely Yin woman and gaining her memories, Yang Xiao learned that the Dark Councilor sends these two extremely Yin women to the Mariana Islands every year to offer their blood as a sacrifice.
He continued searching through the memories of this woman of extreme yin, and obtained another important clue.
That shady councilor had a habit of taking notes.
Although the location of the Gates of Hell is not marked in this notebook, it can be inferred from clues that the Gates of Hell are near the Mariana Islands.
Of course, there is some other important information in this notebook.
After handing the notebook to Jiang Chaosheng, Yang Xiao muttered to himself, "Sir, how come that shady councilor has the habit of keeping notes? What kind of normal person would keep notes?"
Jiang Chaosheng frowned and glanced at Yang Xiao.
This kid talks a lot.
Yang Xiao scratched his head: "Sir, you are very busy, so I won't disturb you any longer. Well, I'll be going now."
He never introduced Harley, who was standing next to him, from beginning to end.
Jiang Chaosheng asked first, "And who is this?"
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up.
He did want to introduce Harley to the gentleman.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought Harley along.
but..
He felt that this was such a small matter that his husband shouldn't have to worry about it.
However, she still had to bring her girlfriend to show her husband, even if he wasn't interested.
Yang Xiao hugged Harley, like a child showing off a toy to their parent: "Hehehe, my little sweetheart Rakshasa girl, her name is Harley. She's a PhD, you know~"
Harley quickly stepped forward, and Chongjiang Chaosheng bowed slightly, saying in standard Mandarin, "Sir."
She consumed many shadows and acquired many of their memories and skills, including those related to the Xia Kingdom's language.
Jiang Chaosheng sized her up.
This woman's gentle eyes concealed an indelible madness.
It's unclear whether this is a side effect of devouring shadows or if she is naturally like this.
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Yang Xiao again.
Yang Xiao looked at Harley with smugness in his eyes, while Harley looked at Yang Xiao with admiration in hers.
Um.
Yang Xiao's love for Harley was far less than Harley's love for Yang Xiao.
Jiang Chaosheng looked towards the back room: "Medusa, bring the things here."
Harley paused for a moment.
Medusa?
Is it the legendary Gorgon Medusa?
She looked towards the back room.
A beautiful foreign woman, carrying a small box, walked up to Jiang Chaosheng, put down the box, bowed, and left.
Harley is already a supernatural being.
She could certainly sense the terrifying power emanating from Medusa.
It must be, this must be the legendary Medusa!
Jiang Chaosheng opened the box and took out an antique pocket watch: "Nice to meet you, this is for you."
The Murder Pocket Watch.
It would be perfect for a psychology PhD like Harley.
Harley stared blankly at the murderous pocket watch.
Is this the forbidden item that Yang Xiao mentioned?
Would such an important person as you give me this precious item?
Yang Xiao's eyes showed both pride and gratitude as she softly said, "Thank you, sir."
Jiang Chaosheng waved his hand: "Go ahead and get busy."
Yang Xiao grabbed Harley's hand and slowly walked out of Zero Antique Shop.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiao's physical shadow remained in the Zero Antique Shop, like graffiti branded onto the ground.
Yang Xiao owed Zero Antique Shop a shadow, and now that he's back, the shadow must be returned.
Jiang Chaosheng opened the notebook of the dark councilor.
He saw the name of the Dark Councilor, Xie Jinbao.
If I remember correctly, Xie Qilin's monk master said that Xie Qilin's father was named Xie Jinbao.
Jiang Chaosheng smiled.
He flipped through the book himself and found a piece of paper covered in English tucked inside.
Jiang Chaosheng didn't quite understand what was being said, so he called Medusa over.
Medusa was fluent in all languages, so English, a language familiar to mortals, would certainly be a piece of cake for her.
She said, "This is an electricity bill from the Black Veil Hotel; there's nothing of value in it."
Jiang Chaosheng shook his head: "That's not right."
Medusa smiled and said, "You're too nervous. It's just a regular electricity bill."
Jiang Chaosheng picked up the bill and shook it, his cunning and treacherous eyes opening on his forehead.
The owner of this eye seems to be the ancestor of swindlers, possessing the ability to see through illusions and not be deceived.
A purple light emanated from the eyes of the cunning and treacherous ghost, scanning the bill.
Soon, the text on the sheet began to recombine, eventually transforming into neat and orderly Xia characters.
Medusa looked at Jiang Chaosheng in disbelief: "How did you find out?"
Jiang Chaosheng stared at the words on the paper and said, "There's a bill hidden in the Dark Councilor's notebook. It doesn't fit his identity; it looks very strange."
Medusa shut her mouth.
I realize that I am only good at being a maid.
Whether the Cowherd succeeds or not, on December 17th, hell will swarm out.
This is what's on that piece of paper.
Jiang Chaosheng narrowed his eyes: "This is a letter from a hellish creature to Xie Jinbao."
Hell has mobilized its entire forces... Is it using the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Severing Human Emperor Formation, along with the method of demons possessing mortals, to wage war?
'
If that's the case, the power of Avici Hell will be greatly diminished.
He looked at Medusa: "Do you think the human world can withstand a full-scale attack from Hell?"
Medusa pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "If Hell is empty and demons flood into the human world, it will be a catastrophe."
Jiang Chaosheng recalled the lie of the Mirror of Knowledge: that he would die on December 25th.
The day that hell attacked the human world was only eight days away, which fits the timeline of his death.
My death must be related to Satan.
Jiang Chaosheng frowned and continued flipping through his notes.
Hell is about to launch a full-scale attack, and he doesn't even know where the gates of Hell are.
Not knowing the location of the Gates of Hell is dangerous.
Let alone whether they can send their own powerful warriors to block the gates of hell and prevent hellish creatures from descending to the human world.
Imagine a great war is imminent, and the human world is unaware of the location of the underworld; this is tantamount to a devastating sneak attack.
All I know for now is that the Gates of Hell might be located in the Mariana Islands.
But now there are only a few days left until the day of Hell's invasion.
It would be difficult to find the Gates of Hell in such a large area in just a few days, let alone make an effective deployment.
Jiang Chaosheng suddenly noticed the information recorded on a page of paper.
It contains records of how to randomly summon the seven demon kings of hell.
Medusa once said that there are seven gods in Hell: intermediate gods, high gods, and mid-level gods.
After Beelzebub died, six remained.
In other words, including Bessi, those seven powerful beings from hell are the Seven Demon Kings of Hell, right?
