There is no doubt that Zhang Cheng, who was sitting near the bar, did not know that he had been quietly involved in a struggle for conspiracy and power.

He was busy checking the new assignment given by the parchment scroll, and by the way, he gave a brief introduction to the underworld to the young girl next to him who had just regained consciousness, especially emphasizing how powerful the council was and how to deal with whistleblowers.

In a half-threatening, half-intimidating tone, the girl who was not yet eighteen years old was completely in a state of panic, coupled with the personal experience more than an hour ago, her whole body trembled involuntarily, and at the same time she said to herself in a very low voice: "It turns out that werewolves, vampires, ghosts, angels, demons, and countless monsters in myths and legends are real! And they are hidden around us? It's terrifying...... It's horrible......"

"Then Gracie, do you have any questions?" Zhang Cheng asked without raising his head as he took a sip of freshly squeezed orange juice from his cup.

The girl named Gracie hurriedly shook her head: "No, no. But I want to know, why did you save me? What happened to the three girls who were kidnapped like me?"

"There are two main reasons to save you. First, you've shown an extraordinary will to survive, and second, I think you're likely to be a good bait. After all, you who almost became a sacrifice will inevitably be marked by the demon, and if he comes to this world, then the first thing to look for is you. As for the other three girls, unfortunately, they were all engulfed in flames in the violent explosion, leaving only charred corpses. ”

After explaining, Zhang Cheng ignored the other party and stared intently at the few lines of small words on the sheepskin scroll.

Unlike the clear goal given before, this time the task is very vague, and the core meaning is only two words - integration.

Where to integrate?

The Underworld or the forces to which Catherine the Witch belongs?

To what extent?

Is it enough to get a taste of it, or do you need to acquire certain rights and status?

Detailed criteria are not given at all.

And the quest reward is also very strange, it is actually a passage to open the next new world!

You must know that the things brought back from Azeroth have been enough to digest for a long time, and until the digestion is complete, he does not plan to absorb a new knowledge system for the time being, and anyone with a little bit of brains understands the truth of being greedy and chewing too much.

Of course, in addition to the main task, the parchment gives several additional small tasks. For example, killing the werewolf leader Salas will increase the maximum amount of energy that his body can hold and reward him with two talent points, or deciphering the notes he received from Ralph and rewarding him for completing each stage.

It can be said that this parchment seems to be consciously guiding, allowing Zhang Cheng to learn knowledge, improve strength, and defeat opponents step by step, just like countless RPG games doing tasks, leveling, and fighting bosses, as long as he doesn't die, there will never be an enemy that he can't defeat completely.

Just when Zhang Cheng was pondering what the purpose of the bastard who threw him over without consent was, Gracie finally recovered from the shock and couldn't help but shout, "I...... I've been marked by demons?!!"

"That's right! Look at your shoulder, if nothing else, there should be a fairly obvious mark. I've seen a few people with such markings, all of whom have been killed by demons without exception. ”

With a slightly pessimistic answer, Ralph sat down in the chair next to him, his eyes revealing undisguised sympathy.

"No!no!no!" Tracy frantically ripped open his T-shirt and found a red mark in the shape of a claw on the back of his right shoulder.

Although on the surface, this mark looks a bit like the blood flow is not smooth due to being squeezed by some hard object, but in fact, no matter how much the girl rubs it, it will not dissipate, and even the skin is scratched in the end, but the mark is still clearly visible.

"Well, stop struggling, kid. Even if you tear off the whole piece of skin, it doesn't work, the imprint will be transferred from one place to another at most. If I were you, I would enjoy life from now on and make myself as happy as possible. Ralph sighed helplessly and explained.

As a demon hunter, he has seen too many life and death, has seen countless human tragedies, and even killed ordinary people who were accidentally involved, so he didn't have much emotional fluctuations, just felt a little regretful.

"No, I don't want to die, save me, there must be some way to save me, right?" Tracy said incoherently.

The thought that after death, her soul would be imprisoned in hell and tortured endlessly, made her feel chills all over her body.

"Hey, little girl, I have a way for you to escape the demons. How about it, would you like to try it?" a pale-faced male vampire appeared at the bar at some point.

"Damn Jesse, get out of here! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Ralph rolled his eyes in annoyance.

The vampire known as Jesse shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Don't be so prejudiced, it's better to be my subordinate than to be killed by a demon, isn't it?"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know, low-level vampires who have just been transformed are basically not much like slaves. Not only do they have to satisfy the various pathological desires of the superior vampires, but they also have to go out to find food on their own, and more than 90% of them have gone crazy before they get promoted. Ralph sneered, mercilessly exposing the other party's sinister intentions.

"Okay, okay, I'm just offering an option. Remember, girl, if you figure it out, feel free to come to me at the Midnight Raves Club in Queens. For a lovely girl like you, my door is always open. ”

With that, Jesse got up and greeted Zhang Cheng, who was still sitting there, before turning around and leaving the speakeasy with two other scantily clad female vampires.

As soon as they walked on their front feet, Ralph took out a wooden box from his pocket and the bracelet inlaid with green gems: "Mr. Wizard, this is your reward for this mission, Master Kars, please let me pass it on to you." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing the word reward, Zhang Cheng immediately put away the parchment, opened the wooden box and glanced at it, and found that it contained a full forty gold dinars, ten more than the original reservation.

Closing the box, he picked up the bracelet again and examined it carefully, and soon confirmed that the sealer inside the gem was an interesting spirit life.

Although the creature has no consciousness or thinking ability, and does not possess great combat power, it is 100% obedient to all orders of the bracelet holder after being summoned, and is generally a qualified servant and life assistant.
