The game becomes reality: Black Myth invades the real world.

Chapter 65 The Chosen One, the Loan Shark, I curse you!

"By using the offering certificate of the Skin-Sealing Granny and by burning gold and silver needles, you initiated a communication request to the ancient demons and monsters behind her."

"Master Tailor, your request has been granted."

"The Tailor, one of the ancient demons and monsters, is the master of all things, from wedding dresses to funeral attire, and all human clothing. It is said that before the Lord of the Mortal World fell, the Tailor was the object of worship and reverence for all those who did needlework. Although the Tailor is no longer known to most people today, he remains a living deity in the eyes of the older generation."

"A red wedding dress and a white funeral shroud are the tailor's most distinctive features. When they are put together, it means that he is connecting the two worlds of the living and the dead."

"Now, the tailor has responded to you, lowering these two garments to see what your request is."

It turns out that the ancient demons and monsters worshipped by Granny Sewing were actually the Tailor Master, which makes sense for her profession... Chen Fu nodded slightly and continued reading the game text.

"The red wedding dress and white funeral clothes clung together and fluttered in the wind, creating a strange sight above the land god temple. General Jiao, who had been in close contact with Granny Sewing Skin, immediately sensed something was wrong. He quietly moved away from the crowd, not wanting to get involved in this trouble."

"Before you even spoke, the loan shark's followers started making a fuss. They don't recognize the tailor at all. In their eyes, the loan shark is the most powerful demon in the world. How could two pieces of clothing possibly cause any trouble?"

"They attacked the clothes, tearing, biting, and cutting them, trying to shred them so that the moneylender's reputation could spread more widely throughout the world."

"This behavior angered the Tailor, who had returned to the mortal world. He waved his hand, and all the Moneylender's followers were pulverized."

"The loan shark in Silver City sensed something was wrong. As a newly emerging monster, he was also afraid of the tailor, after all, he was still wearing clothes made by the tailor."

"But the believers' actions have completely put the moneylender in opposition to the tailor, and this new monster is about to face the wrath of the ancient monster."

"Serves you right for being so arrogant. Now you know what fear is..." Chen Fu laughed heartily. It seems even demons and monsters have someone they dare not mess with.

He gleaned some other information from the generated game text.

The reason why the loan shark wanted to control the Wedding City and bring it under his lending sphere was actually because he was a newly risen monster. Although he was stronger than many people, he was still not enough to deal with the ancient monsters. Otherwise, he would not have been afraid of the tailor.

As a figure who existed before the fall of the Lord of the Mortal World, the Tailor's strength is unfathomable. However, due to some unknown reasons, he cannot appear in the mortal world for an extended period of time at present and can only temporarily appear through communication and requests.

It is still unknown how big the difference in strength between the two is. If the tailor can't defeat the loan shark, Chen Fu will still be trapped in the local temple.

However, he felt it was unlikely, since the loan shark had already developed a sense of fear.

As the saying goes, "One should strike with full force at the first attempt, but the momentum will wane at the second and be exhausted at the third." When it comes to fighting, no matter how strong you are, you can't be weak in spirit, otherwise you'll lose some of your strength when the fight starts.

He continued reading the game text, eager to know what would happen next.

"The tailor found the loan shark, this disrespectful monster, and launched an attack against him."

"Under the tailor's manipulation, the loan shark's clothes were squeezed tightly into his flesh. The tailor clearly did not want to let his comrade go and continued to use other methods."

"The wind whistles as the scissors fall, the needle and thread work on their own. The tailor's treasured tools leave terrifying wounds on the loan shark's body. The loan shark cries out in pain and begs for mercy on his knees, but he can't quell the tailor's anger no matter what he does."

"The ancient demons and monsters will never forgive anyone who tries to slander him."

"At the moment of impending annihilation, the loan shark set his sights on you."

"Chosen One, as the instigator of all this, the loan shark harbors deep resentment towards you. You can hear the loan shark's angry voice in your ears: You damned man, you truly deserve to die!"

"I curse you, loan shark! You damned and despicable chosen one! You call for help when you can't win, you have no sportsmanship whatsoever! You will die a horrible death, you will suffer endless torment, you will pay a terrible price for your actions!"

Insult me? Go ahead and insult me. What else can you do besides this?

Chen Fu wasn't afraid of the loan shark's threats at all. As the pianist of the canyon, he used far more offensive language when he faced off against others, and he was completely unaffected.

"The demons and monsters will not die because of the attacks of their own people. The moneylender is about to fall into a deep sleep, and his followers are scattering in all directions. All the actions against you will vanish into thin air. You will be able to step out of the temple again. The moneylender and his followers will no longer be able to have any effect on you."

"After doing all this, the tailor left satisfied. He once again spread his fame across the earth. From this day forward, many people will know of his deeds and enshrine him in their homes, making it one of the ways he can communicate with the world again."

The game text ends here. The moneylender has fallen into a deep sleep, the believers have all fled, the tailor has left, and the storm that had been building up in the city of weddings and funerals has finally come to an end.

Chen Fu had another chance to advance the plot, but he always felt it wasn't enough.

The items dropped by Granny Sewing were used to summon Master Tailor, but so far, he has gained nothing except some experience points.

How could this be allowed? It's completely out of character for someone destined for greatness. Of course, Chen Fu wouldn't let it go like this. Didn't General Jiao run away? Let's go find him. We have to get something from him!

Without hesitation, Chen Fu arrived at the Yin-Yang Sedan Chair Inn.

"Chosen One, as you arrive at the Yin-Yang Sedan Chair Inn for the first time, you'll find that this place has undergone tremendous changes compared to before, and it's not as bustling as it used to be."

"General Jiao was terrified after witnessing the fight between two top-notch demons and monsters. He hid in the sedan chair shop and ordered his sedan chair bearers to strictly control every entrance and exit point, and absolutely not allow any strangers to enter."

"Faced with this situation, what do you plan to do? Will you force your way in, take General Jiao's head, and make him pay for what he did? Or will you disguise yourself, find an opportunity to infiltrate, and then try to get close to General Jiao?"

"Note that if you choose the first option, you will likely face the same attack from the sedan chair bearers as at the beginning. I don't know if you will be able to successfully kill the sedan chair general. After all, although he is the weakest among the demons and monsters, he is not someone you can deal with alone."

"If you choose the second option, there is a high probability that other plots will be triggered, but how to enter them is a challenge. Please use your clever little brain to see if you can find a suitable way."

Chen Fu fell into thought.

Just now, he killed Granny Sewing Skin in the chaos of battle, firstly because he adhered to his initial idea of ​​targeting only one person, and secondly because the power of the Three Realms Coroner activated, revealing Granny Sewing Skin's sins, which allowed him to succeed.

If this were today, it would most likely not work, because the situation is reversed this time. It requires someone to break into the enemy camp. Moreover, General Jiao is already on guard, and his sedan chair bearers have surrounded the Yin-Yang Sedan Chair Shop completely. If someone were to get in, they would likely be trapped like a turtle in a jar.

Chen Fu didn't want to be the one to suffer the consequences, so after thinking it over, he decided to choose the second option.

The human skin mask of the moneylender's followers that was just revealed can come in handy.

It's just unknown how General Jiao will react when he sees the loan shark's followers again.

Chen Fu decided to give it a try. After disguising his identity, he swaggered towards the Yin-Yang Sedan Chair Shop.

"You put on the human skin mask of a follower of the Moneylender, and were mistaken by the sedan chair bearers for someone of the Moneylender. You have successfully entered the Yin-Yang Sedan Chair Inn."

"As you pass through the curtain, half painted red and half stained black, a stench of sweat, tung oil, and paper money ash hits you. The inn is dimly lit, illuminated only by a few lanterns that burn eternally on the beams. With each flicker of the light, the sedan chairs cast overlapping shadows on the walls."

"Twelve red sedan chairs were arranged in a neat row, with curtains hanging low. The ground was covered with old bricks that had been worn smooth, with dried dark red spots embedded in the cracks between the bricks. It was unclear whether they were cinnabar or something else. On the wall inside, several black sedan chairs covered in dust hung, with the patterns of soul-guiding banners embroidered in white thread faintly visible."

"On the innermost altar is the tablet of General Jiao. In front of the tablet are two oil lamps, one with red oil and the other with white oil. In the middle is an old porcelain bowl with a chipped rim. The lantern on the beam is reflected on the water. It looks as if something is looking up from the bottom of the bowl. This is his hiding place."

"Chosen One, you realize that a special method is needed to summon General Jiao."

In the entire city of weddings and funerals, this was the second time Chen Fu had entered any other places besides the Reincarnation Stage. The layout of the Yin-Yang Sedan Chair Inn was very similar to what the Sedan Chair General had done, and he guessed that it was necessary to use a sedan chair to lure out this demon and monster.

Just then, the game text sent a prompt, and he made a choice based on his thoughts.

"You turned and stroked the red sedan chair, then left your scent on the black sedan chair. Finally, you came to the offering table again, relit the two oil lamps, and placed your face above the old porcelain bowl."

"The sedan chair general, who was hiding inside, heard the call and found you through the mouth of the bowl. He recognized you as a follower of the moneylender and felt a great sense of relief. He jumped out of the old porcelain bowl in a flash."

What kind of monsters and demons are you? You can even hide inside a bowl. You don't seem to be very big either. How did you manage to carry the sedan chair? Chen Fu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"General Jiao is strange. Why is it that the loan shark is asleep, yet you, a follower, dare to come here? Do you perhaps want his protection?"

"Chosen One, how do you intend to answer? Do you intend to follow up on General Jiao's words and guide him to talk about other things? Or will you directly remove the human skin mask and begin attacking this demon? Note that the duration of the human skin mask is about to expire; your answer this time is crucial."

It's not like it's already been wiped out, it's not like it's already been wiped out. Since the human skin mask is still usable, there's no need to rush. Let's see what General Jiao will say first. Anyway, we're going to fight soon, so a little time won't make a difference.

"You said you had indeed come seeking refuge and asked General Jiao if he could take you in. General Jiao shook his head with a wry smile, saying that he could barely take care of himself, let alone you."

"General Jiao also said that the man chosen by fate was clearly no good. He hadn't been in the City of Weddings and Funerals for long, but he was always causing trouble and making a mess of things. He even said that the Ghost Bride had been killed? How could that be! The Ghost Bride was the city lord of the City of Weddings and Funerals; she would never die so easily."

"After listening to his rambling for a while, you felt increasingly annoyed. Suddenly, General Jiao changed the subject and said that if you really had nowhere to go, he could recommend a place to you."

Hey, here it comes! Chen Fu looked at the game text and thought to himself, hurry up, I'm just worried about not getting any clues.

"General Jiao said... He looked at your face and it suddenly changed, becoming like the man of destiny from before. He was terrified and jumped back and forth repeatedly."

"General Jiao pointed his finger at you and cursed you for being insidious, actually disguising yourself as a follower of the loan shark to get close to him, you must be trying to get useful information out of him."

"General Jiao also said that as one of the three great demons and monsters in the Wedding City besides the Ghost Bride, he would never submit to the tyranny of the chosen one. Even if he dies, you will not get any useful information from him."

"Chosen One, what are you going to do now? Will you launch a direct attack and show General the sedan chair your power? Or will you retreat first to avoid being blocked by the sedan chair bearers at the gate? Or you could try to continue talking to General the sedan chair and get some information from him."

How can we talk now that we've been seen through? Chen Fu chose to attack directly and finish the job quickly. After eliminating General Jiao, there would definitely be another way to leave.

"You pulled out a frying pan and hit General Jiao on the head, dealing ten points of damage to him."

"It's a pity that you didn't activate the ability of the Three Realms Coroner and were unable to reveal the sins committed by General Jiao."

"You summoned Xi, who will assist you in attacking General Jiao."

"Only when I saw the sedan chair general in the shape of Xi did I belatedly realize that what you said was true. The ghost bride was indeed dead, and the Xi in front of me was her reborn form."

"General Jiao felt his beliefs were being challenged. He stopped resisting and begged you to stop hitting his head. He said he was willing to tell you everything he knew."

Why didn't you do this sooner? Why are you so stubborn? Chen Fu pursed his lips, wanting to hear what secret General Jiao was holding.

He discovered that in the City of Weddings and Funerals, apart from the ghost bride who was single-mindedly focused on getting married, the other three demons and monsters all had their own ideas.

The Laughing and Crying Spirit secretly allies himself with the Loan Shark, plotting to seize the city lord's position. Granny Sewing Skin worships the Tailor, hoping to achieve the power of the Ghost Bride. General Sewing Carriage also harbors hidden secrets.

And now, he is about to obtain this secret.

I just don't know if the information General Jiao gave me will save my life.
