242: The poison of stupidity

Song Zhong and Shen Qingzhu parted ways.

Investigating Bai Li Xin's experiment in Guangzhou-Shenzhen was something Song Zhong had planned for a long time.

After all, the Forbidden Object research and development project was very tempting for Song Zhong.

Although he wasn't too worried about being troubled by the Night Watcher or the Great Xia Gods, what about Anta County?

His followers' overall strength was still not enough.

If he could get his hands on the Baili Family's Forbidden Object research and development technology, and then let Memorial develop some black technologies in the future, like Star Destroyer Cannons or something.

With these hard-hitting tools as defensive power, the Holy Land he had just established would finally have some sense of security.

After all, no one would complain about having too much firepower.

Song Zhong found a small hotel that didn't require identity registration and checked in.

Coveting the Baili Family's Forbidden Object research and development technology was one aspect; he had another reason for coming to Guangzhou-Shenzhen.

This reason was related to Demon Star Houqing.

Song Zhong closed the door and sat down on a chair.

He closed his eyes, and his spirit entered the System space.

The System space had now changed its appearance; as the Power Of Faith grew stronger, Song Zhong could, according to his will, open up his own independent space within the System.

Now, each bronze coffin was separated individually.

Without Song Zhong's permission, the coffin dwellers could no longer hold noisy meetings.

Song Zhong walked into the space where Hou Qing's coffin was placed.

Upon approaching, Song Zhong knocked on the bronze coffin.

Thump thump thump!

With a creak, Demon Star Houqing's coffin lid moved, revealing a slit just wide enough to see his eyes.

“Heh heh, Host, you've come.”

Demon Star Houqing's smile was filled with endless flattery, not concealing his intention to please in the slightest.

Song Zhong felt goosebumps from that laugh, and at the same time, he thought, how is this guy's laugh even more twisted than his own?

“I still prefer your previous unruly appearance,” Song Zhong said helplessly.

“No, no, Host, it was my ignorance before, and I offended you many times.

You are magnanimous, please don't bother with a moldy braised egg like me.”

Instead of restraining himself, Demon Star Houqing lowered his posture even further.

“Let's talk about our deal.” Song Zhong had no way to deal with this guy, so he simply sat down on the coffin lid and started talking to Hou Qing.

“Host, have you already arrived in Guangzhou-Shenzhen?” Demon Star Houqing asked.

“That's right, so tell me your plan,” Song Zhong asked.

“Our origins, Shen Tu and Yu Lei must have already told you, right?”

Song Zhong nodded, “That's right, you came here from another dimensional world.”

“Indeed, according to the division of world dimensions, they can be divided into Major Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Minor Thousand Worlds.

And we unlucky fellows came from a certain Major Thousand Worlds.

In that world, a divine war also occurred, and in the process of resisting the invasion of outer gods, we fell.

I'm not afraid of you laughing, but we are actually just a group of defeated soldiers.”

Song Zhong said indifferently, “I know all this, but I also have a rough understanding of your abilities. Who exactly are the divine beings who could defeat you?”

“They are a group of otherworldly celestial demons, true celestial demons.” Demon Star Houqing's tone was somewhat desolate, “The monsters sealed on the moon in this world are just a trace of their projection in this Minor Thousand Worlds.

After we fell, our Divine Souls were incomplete. Chi You took the Opportunity to Seal our Divine Souls, intending to refine a killing weapon.

Unfortunately, during the refining process, we were ambushed by otherworldly celestial demons, and Chi You had no choice but to bring us to this Minor Thousand Worlds to linger on.”

Song Zhong became interested, “So, if that's the case, are you nine actually Chi You's Materials?”

“Host is right to say that. Under the circumstances at the time, we had no choice at all.

However, a few of them, who had problems with their minds, believed that being refined into an artifact spirit was an honor.

So there have always been disagreements among us.”

At this point, Hou Qing's tone was full of disdain.

“So, when I saw Shen Tu and Yu Lei pledge allegiance to you and create the Ghost Country, I also understood.

I also want to create my own anchored world, and therefore, I also want to join your team.”

“Is that why you snatched Osiris's Netherworld Death Realm?” Song Zhong asked.

“That's right, I want to create a Curse world, and that Egyptian native happened to have a prototype of a Law world, so I took it conveniently,” Hou Qing chuckled.

“I see, but I still don't understand why you are interested in Bai Li Xin's Soul?” Song Zhong asked.

The reason he personally came to Guangzhou-Shenzhen was the result of Hou Qing's initiative to trade with him.

“Heh heh, the Small World refined by that useless Egyptian Underworld God was really too crude.

I need some Materials to let the Curse take root and sprout inside, so that my anchor in this world will be stable.”

Hou Qing's fundamental ability was Curse.

“Is Bai Li Xin's Soul related to Curse?”

Song Zhong was a little strange; Bai Li Xin didn't seem to have shown any abilities related to Curse.

“Of course not, his Soul is a one-in-a-million [Infatuation]!”

Hou Qing grew more excited as he spoke, “One of the three poisons, [Infatuation], I sensed this from that little fatty's longevity lock.

Bai Li Xin's obsession with immortality has already turned into poison.

This kind of deep-seated poison from the Soul is the best nourishment for Curse.”

Song Zhong listened to Hou Qing's words, thoughtfully, “I see, then aren't there also greed poison and anger poison?”

“Host is right, but the other two poisons are very difficult to find; to get one of them is already a great Opportunity.”

A hint of regret subtly flowed in Hou Qing's words, “I have a premonition that Bai Li Xin's Soul is about to mature.

As long as Host helps me obtain Bai Li Xin's Soul through sacrifice, Hou Qing is willing to serve you.”

Song Zhong looked at this Demon Star with an extremely strong contrast and asked a fatal question, “Are you not very sociable in this circle?”

Demon Star Houqing froze for a second, then said angrily:

“Did Shen Tu and Yu Lei, those two loose tongues, say something to you?

Host, don't believe them! My Hou Qing's heart is sincere, heaven and earth can bear witness.

It's precisely because I am overly righteous that I seem out of place with those rabble.

It's really not a problem with my personality!”

Demon Star Houqing was a little flustered.

It wasn't because he was beaten up by Gonggong and a few other Deities after his act of stealing the Netherworld Death Realm was exposed.

It was because if Song Zhong didn't agree, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

What bad intentions could a remnant Soul suppressed by a bronze coffin have?

Song Zhong smiled, “Since you want to create a Curse world, then I will help you see it through.”

“Ah?” Hou Qing was stunned, not expecting things to go so smoothly.

“Anyway, even you are mine; make it a little better, it will be easier to use in the future.”

After dropping that sentence, Song Zhong left the System space.
