Event organizer: mist rule;

Su Lie looked at the advertisement on the Mist Shop, feeling slightly dazed.

Clack!

He turned and looked at the building he arrived at in the Virtual Street, seeing 'Mist Survivors Shop' written on it.

"Are both the Mist Shop and the Mist Survivors Shop affiliated with the mist rule? Was my previous guess wrong? Are there not multiple rules, but only one mist rule?"

Su Lie was slightly puzzled: "What is going on?"

However.

He was quickly drawn in by the legendary fighters mentioned later in the event advertisement.

The Fighting characters listed were all ones he had encountered in Fighting games he played back on Blue Star.

"This... is very interesting!"

Su Lie smiled playfully.

He strode towards the Mist Shop.

Upon entering.

The Mist Shop was a large market resembling a small commodity wholesale center.

In the area to the left of the entrance was a huge transparent exhibition hall.

The entire scene of the Virtual Street was displayed here.

There were also four or five workstations nearby.

In front of the workstations were the words 'Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition Registration Office'.

Su Lie noticed that after successfully registering, the lives who signed up.

could spend an additional 10 years of Lifespan to purchase a competition wristband.

He learned from the staff's introduction.

With this wristband, they would receive a reminder before the competition started, allowing them to enter the Virtual Street in time to participate.

It also allowed direct entry into the competition arena.

Once the competition begins, contestants wearing the wristband can enter the arena directly.

Of course.

After the wearer enters the arena, the wristband automatically disappears.

After listening for a while and understanding the process.

Su Lie also briefly looked over the model of the Virtual Street.

This street was circular.

There were a total of 100,000 tall buildings on both sides of the street, and every building looked identical.

Behind the buildings on the inner side of the street was a digital area.

That was where the competition arena was located.

But it was also marked as a dangerous area.

Su Lie walked towards the registration office.

After queuing behind four or five lives, he spent 100 years of Lifespan and successfully registered for the competition phase designated for Second Turn professional Survivors, which covers levels 50 to 99.

This phase was called Segment One Zone!

At the same time.

Su Lie also spent 10 years of Lifespan to acquire a wristband.

Just as Su Lie was about to look around more.

An alarm suddenly sounded inside the Mist Shop.

[Warning! Warning! Please return to your respective shops within 5 minutes! The Virtual Street shutdown procedure has been activated, and the invasion of the Digital Black Tide is about to begin!]

[Warning! Warning! Please...]

Su Lie's eyelid twitched upon seeing this, and he turned his head to look.

He saw a large number of lives hurriedly leaving the shop, sprinting toward buildings in other areas.

Su Lie was slightly stunned: "Is it impossible to leave from here?"

As he spoke.

He tried to exit the Virtual Street.

To his surprise.

He was unable to leave.

Yet he could clearly sense the aura of the Great Joy Tower.

In other words.

His line of sight was still within the Virtual Street.

"Guest! The Virtual Street operates under digital rules. You can only leave from your own shop, not from other areas!"

At this time, a shop employee earnestly explained to Su Lie: "This is just like the games you play; some games require you to go to a designated scene or area to exit!"

"But games allow for forced exits!"

"Here! No life can achieve that!"

The clerk immediately followed up: "Please leave quickly! We are closing the doors!"

Hearing this, Su Lie no longer hesitated. He sprinted out of the Mist Shop and returned to the Survivor Shop.

By the time he stepped into his own shop.

Only 30 seconds remained before the Virtual Street shut down.

At this moment.

Liu Bowen said to Su Lie: "Master! The shop sent a notification telling us to temporarily log out of the shop! It is estimated that we can only log back in after 2 hours!"

"Log out!"

Su Lie nodded.

He also casually closed the shop door.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Su Lie and the other two successively logged out inside the shop.

When he came outside.

Su Lie found that the wristband he was wearing was still there.

This wristband displayed a countdown.

There were 23 hours and 19 minutes remaining until the competition started.

"That means around 9 or 10 o'clock tomorrow!"

Su Lie felt slightly relieved after seeing this.

This way, he could safely proceed with the mission involving the mist sacrificial altar.

He looked again at the Virtual Mist Shop in the Trading Center.

Although the entrance was still there, he could no longer enter.

But he could see the transaction slots of the Mist Shop.

Only then did Su Lie accept Sacrificial Mission 3.

He first gave some instructions to Su Ling in the territory.

Only then did he use the Shadow Transformation Talent.

This Talent allowed Su Lie to transform into a Shadow Clan member and temporarily gain the authority for Shadow Clan language conversion and Shadow Clan text conversion.

Moreover, this transformation could not be identified.

It also allowed Su Lie to walk within shadows at any time and escape into the Shadow Realm.

After transforming.

Su Lie softened into a puddle of shadow and merged directly into the shadow beneath the sofa.

The light emitted by the moonlight pearl in the room gave him a burning, stinging pain.

It felt as if he could be ignited and consumed at any moment.

Su Lie curiously observed his form.

Standing within the shadow, he felt as if he were standing on a piece of paper.

He seemed to have become a two-dimensional figure.

This feeling was quite interesting.

At the same time.

Su Lie also discovered the entrance to the Shadow Realm at this point.

He no longer hesitated and stepped directly into the Shadow Realm.

A gray light flashed before his eyes.

The next second.

Su Lie felt like a drop of rain falling into a lake.

He arrived in a world composed entirely of black.

Since he already possessed the Dark Vision Talent and the Eye of the Shadow Realm Skill.

Therefore.

He could clearly see the landscape of this world.

"Is this the Shadow Realm? This is too monotonous!"

Su Lie turned his head to observe his surroundings.

He found that the plants in the Shadow Realm were black, the lives were black, and everything was black.

If one did not possess the corresponding Talent or Skill.

Other lives might only see a mass of black shadow.

Su Lie continued straight along the road.

He quickly arrived at a town.

Shadow Realm soldiers guarded the entrance to the town.

When Su Lie entered the town, the soldiers didn't even glance at him, continuing their own conversation.

"Did you hear? Li Si, the Lord of Shadow City, has started registering for the Challenge Competition for the lord of the shadow realm!"

"That news is outdated! I'm telling you, Li Si has already acquired one rules divine artifact; he is 100% going to become the lord of the shadow realm!"

"Hiss! Holy crap! If that war maniac becomes the lord of the shadow realm, we'll probably all be conscripted to fight on the front lines, right?"

"Bullshit! Fighting on the front lines would be the good scenario! What's most terrifying is conquering other realms!"

"Seriously... what's so great about other realms! If that light shines on us, we die in droves! The Shadow Realm's weakness is too obvious! We can't win!"

"You don't understand this! In the wars to conquer other realms, hosted by the lord of the shadow realm, regardless of victory or defeat, we receive rewards from the Shadow Realm! He's trying to use our lives to fill his sea of desire!"

Su Lie's eyes flashed upon hearing this: 'lord of the shadow realm? This Li Si is terrifying! My mission might be difficult to complete!'

He continued walking further into the town.

He heard discussions about this matter everywhere on the street.

However.

As he listened.

He gradually understood.

The so-called lord of the shadow realm was merely a regional lord of the shadow realm.

In the Shadow Realm, there were countless lords of the Shadow Realm.

Above these lords of the Shadow Realm were the Great lords of the Shadow Realm, as well as ranks like Shadow King, Shadow Emperor, and Shadow Sovereign.

"Phew! These titles are certainly intimidating!"

Su Lie exhaled.

He also noticed something else.

In this town, it seemed someone was deliberately spreading rumors unfavorable to Li Si.

Before long.

Su Lie stopped a native resident of the Shadow Realm on the street and asked with a smile: "Brother! Do you know how to get to Shadow City?"

"Uh..."

The person looked Su Lie up and down, scratching his head: "Are you a damn idiot? You don't even know where Shadow City is?"

His voice was quite loud.

This drew the mockery of the surrounding Shadow Realm natives.

"Idiot! We are one of the six major towns under the jurisdiction of Shadow City!"

"Holy hell! How did this kid grow up? He doesn't even know basic common sense!"

"Wait a minute! Could this guy be a spy from another realm?"

As some sharp voices rang out.

Su Lie realized that more and more Shadow Realm natives were gathering around him.

The looks they gave Su Lie were full of malice and desire.

"Haha! We finally hit the jackpot today!"

"That's right! As long as we participate in catching this spy, we'll definitely receive generous rewards!"

"Exactly! Yesterday, Sha Wu next door to me found a spy. That guy brought his whole family to capture the spy, and not only did the town give rewards, but Shadow City also sent a special envoy with rewards. That guy has now settled down, bought a house, and opened a shop in Shadow City!"

"Haha! Our chance to get rich has arrived!"

The Shadow Realm natives on the periphery started discussing excitedly.

Su Lie's expression became serious: 'Damn it! I just asked for directions, and I'm being treated as a spy!'

He suffered a loss because he rushed in without having basic intelligence about the Shadow Realm.

This was his lack of maturity.

Su Lie realized his mistake.

But he was not afraid.

"What should I do? Kill them all?"

Su Lie muttered softly.

No!

He didn't want to attract the attention of stronger beings, nor did he want to alert the enemy and allow Li Si to perceive the danger and escape.

Therefore.

He silently released Malicious Pollution and Mental Virus toward the Shadow Realm natives gathered around him, as well as the dozens of squads of soldiers running from further away.

These were things he had already compiled beforehand!

Immediately after.

He used the power of the invisibility ring.

Soon.

Su Lie vanished from the spot.

The natives gathered on the street first froze, then immediately started cursing each other.

Subsequently.

They actually started rushing toward the shops on both sides of the street, initiating a riot of smashing and looting.

The soldiers rushing up paused.

Then they also joined the ranks of smashing and looting.

Before long.

The small town had already descended into chaos.

Su Lie had already obtained the method to get to Shadow City from the town mayor.

Following the mayor's instructions, he arrived at a Well of Shadows in the center of the town.

After Su Lie used the Identification Talent on it.

A panel appeared in Su Lie's line of sight.

[Well of Shadows: Shadow rules transmission item; the only passage to enter the deep Shadow Realm;

Note: The destination of this Well of Shadows is Shadow City!

Note: The Well of Shadows can only be used by Shadow Realm lives. Non-Shadow Realm lives will be converted into Shadow Realm lives upon use.]

"Good thing I didn't wander around aimlessly! Otherwise, I really wouldn't have found Shadow City!"

Su Lie finally relaxed upon seeing this: 'the rules here are different from what I've encountered. I can't understand the Shadow Realm using common sense!'

Saying this.

He jumped directly into the Well of Shadows.

The next second.

Su Lie floated out from another Well of Shadows.

Lively hawking sounds reached his ears.

Su Lie turned his head and saw that his location was on the edge of a marketplace.

Next to him was a squad of fully armed black Shadow Realm warriors guarding the area.

What shocked Su Lie the most was.

He found that he, floating in the well, was like a shadow; his limbs and body had already dematerialized.

When the guard saw Su Lie, he showed a mocking expression: 'Country bumpkin! Get the hell out! Don't stand here blocking the entry of other shadows!'

"Oh!"

Su Lie was not annoyed and quickly left the Well of Shadows.

When he landed.

He finally felt solid ground beneath his feet.

Su Lie suddenly paused.

He realized he had regained his physical body.

However.

He didn't show it, and walked toward the marketplace as if nothing were amiss.

Just as Su Lie was about to leave the marketplace, a child suddenly stopped him and said solemnly to Su Lie: "Sir! A distinguished Guest on the second floor of that teahouse wishes to invite you for a talk!"

The child also handed Su Lie a jade stone as dark as ink.

Su Lie looked up in confusion toward the direction the child pointed, only to see a slender Shadow Clan member sitting in a private seat by the window on the second floor of a teahouse.

He was looking at Su Lie, and the moment their eyes met.

A voice sounded in Su Lie's ear: 'Brother, are you here to carry out the mission to assassinate Li Si?'
