For Shoushan City⌠No, for all the trainers in the world, this day was a nightmare.
Because a âpersonâ posted a video on the official Dawn Organization account.
The protagonist of the video wasnât a person, but a malicious spirit.
When everyone noticed the content of the video, their first reaction was to look at a nearby calendar, only to find that it wasnât April Foolsâ Day or even Halloween. It was just an ordinary day in the thousands of years of history of the world.
But the video on the social platform informed them that the so-called Dawn Organization was a conspiracy the entire time!
The sun badge they wore on their chests with pride and honor wasnât a dawn of hope for people, but a disguised slave medallion!
Before the slave medallions were activated, the badges were just ordinary plastic. Anyone could discard it at will. Itâs just that few people who joined Dawn Organization seemed to actually do that.
At least amongst the people who knew each other, no one did it⌠Even some people who turned the badge into a necklace or put it into a bag werenât spared by doing so.
After the owner of the first medallion activated all of the Dawn Organization membersâ badges, the simple and ordinary plastic became a slave medallion that could no longer be removed!
After that, if the owner of the first medallion just thought something, it would definitely not be a difficult task for all of the Dawn Organization trainers to instantly finish themselves off!
When all the Dawn Organization members realized the gravity of the matter and that they needed to take off the badges on their chests, they found that they had already become slave medallions with a black spot on a white background. They could no longer get rid of them.
After discovering that the situation seemed somewhat unfixable, the members of Dawn Organization that could contact each other in Shoushan City quickly let each other know about the pain in their chests, then went to the central plaza as quickly as they could.
But when they went to the plaza, they realized that the nightmare seemed to have just begun!
Not long after they gathered, they found they had an unspeakable desire had appeared deep inside their hearts.
The desire wasnât to kill themselves, but it seemed no better than that. What they wanted to do deep inside their hearts at that moment⌠was to destroy all the ghost tools on their bodies!
At that time, although many trainers still didnât know that destroying a ghost tool would accelerate its backlash, they could sense the enormity of the danger hidden in that idea!
If someone wanted to destroy a ghost tool, it was impossible to do using human power alone. The easiest way was to use one ghost tool to destroy another.
So when a trainer only had one ghost tool in their hands, there was an impulse in their heart to snatch a ghost tool from another nearby trainer and destroy it.
[If the ghost tool is destroyed, the malicious spirit will revive. Not only will the trainer die, but the awakened malicious spirit would regard Shoushan as this worldâs first city to invade.] Ghost Umbrella looked at the trainers who had gathered with trembling hands in front of them. There was pity in his tone. Everything he had experienced in the past made him pessimistic about what may happen next.
âNot necessarily.â Su Zimo hadnât gone too far out of the shop. He still hoped that Ghost Umbrella would continue to rest for a while in the area closest to the shop.
[Why? Youâve seen that wasteland, havenât you?] Ghost Umbrella didnât understand. It was clear that Su Zimo knew everything now, but he still seemed to have hope for the future of this world.
Obviously⌠Dawn had been wiped out, hadnât it?
âWorld One and World Two had Dawn Organizations like them?â Su Zimo asked.
âThey arenât the malicious spirits of the Dawn Organization who resented being killed by those survivors. Most of these people joined Dawn Organization to help others, to truly bring forth dawn, or to survive.â Su Zimo looked at the trainers who were struggling in front of them, not stepping forward to help for some reason.
âDawn Organization gathered such a group of people together, but hoped that they would give up for some unexplainable reason?â Su Zimo said, then motioned for Ghost Umbrella to look forward. âLook at them. Did they really give up?â
Ghost Umbrellaâs gaze fell on the trainers ahead.
After observing for less than a minute, Ghost Umbrella seemed to understand why Su Zimo didnât step forward and help.
Someone⌠someone was resisting the power of the slave medallion.
The power of the first medallion on the holders of the slave medallions wasnât just to control their limbs. More importantly, it was to control their minds.
So at that moment in the central plaza of Shoushan, some powerful veterans reached out and attacked their neighbors, but they didnât use their ghost tools. They just stunned each other with their hands under their companionsâ approving gazes!
When a trainer was stunned, the slave medallionâs control broke for a while.
As for the trainers who couldnât be stunned, they tried even harder to slam themselves into the stone piers and sculptures surrounding the central plaza.
âUncle Hong, help them!â
Su Zimo immediately sought help from Uncle Hong, then mysterious white newspaper with vague black words flew into the square like snowflakes.
This time the newspapers werenât too aggressive. They instantly tied trainersâ hands or covered their faces so that all the ghost tools were separated from the trainers.
âAlthough what we see now is only a small part of Dawn Organization, the members of this organization like Cheng Yun and Bai Man wonât give up no matter what they think.
[But those malicious spirits leading Dawn Organization wonât give up. If they really stay in Shoushan, then soonâŚ]
Ghost Umbrellaâs words hadnât yet finished when the ordinary people who had chosen to watch carefully because they didnât know what was going on in the plaza suddenly screamed.
Because suddenly some malicious spirits appeared in the crowds holding their heads!
Su Zimo knew that the besieged city mentioned in his motherâs diary had dozens of members of Dawn Organization guarding it. They were just a small portion of the victims of the millions of âvoting gamesâ in the wasteland world.
It seemed that they used a decapitation method in order to fulfill those last votes for countless members of Dawn Organization.
Su Zimo suddenly realized that the number of malicious spirits in Dawn Organization may be much more than he had imagined.
Of course, some of it was Ghost Umbrellaâs fault. Su Zimo couldnât help but glance at Ghost Umbrella beside him. He knew that he wanted to warn the next world, but he didnât expect the passage to be used by malicious spirits, and he was too embarrassed to turn back again.
However, the passage Ghost Umbrella opened this time was single-use and didnât stay open to cause trouble.
What his shop assistant started, he and his boss would have to work together to fix.
Su Zimo sighed. After dealing with the holder of the first medallion, he could watch trainers take care of the nightmare world from behind the scenes and with peace of mind.
Otherwise, he was alone in the shop with a few ghosts. How could he manage the worldâs affairs?
When Su Zimo was about to take Ghost Umbrella to the plaza to look for the first medallion, he saw a shocking scene.
The previous trainersâ ghost tools fell to the ground for various reasons. As a result, when the malicious spirits appeared, many ordinary people who werenât trainers picked up the ghost tools from the ground and rushed toward the malicious spirits holding their own heads.
Some trainers in the crown who werenât members of Dawn Organization rushed over, protecting the terrified ordinary people behind them.
âDid you ask me if we should abandon this world? Were you going to let me drag my family along and move to the fourth world?â Su Zimo walked to the plaza with Ghost Umbrella. âNow I can tell you an answer. The people of this world havenât given up on saving it, so this world can still be saved.â
[The trainers who became malicious spirits because of the voting game also thought to at the beginning.]
Ghost Umbrella didnât deliberately refute Su Zimoâs words. For the current Ghost Umbrella, it was completely impossible to do such a thing to Su Zimo.
He would keep saying that⌠Really, he just hoped that Su Zimo would be mentally prepared and wouldnât hold onto too much hope.
âInstead of constantly looking for the next peaceful world, then watching the nightmare world destroy it again, itâs best to stop the nightmare world here.â Su Zimo said, then asked Ghost Umbrella another question.
âEarlier, why did you bring all of the trainers out of the transit station?â Su Zimo asked while swinging the metal pen into the head of a certain malicious spirit.
[Maybe because I always thought the term âmalicious spiritâ was too ugly?] Ghost Umbrella didnât just use his blood blades; he also kicked some malicious spirits in the head. [Ghosts were also humans. Although our nature changes drastically if stimulated, Iâm the kind of person who receives little stimulation and can withstand it.]
Su Zimo recalled that they had hidden the shopâs inventory in the black umbrella, so after a discussion, they immediately release a few dolls that looked similar to, but were more aggressive than the Treasure Hunting Dolls. These dolls were several stories tall.
Along the way, Ghost Umbrella took out two physical weapons and stuffed one each into his and Su Zimoâs hands.
Su Zimo had been attacking to the front. He didnât think about whether or not a malicious spirit would attack from behind.
After all⌠Ghost Umbrella was behind him, wasnât he?
Since he encountered Ghost Umbrella up to now, Su Zimo had never worried about being attacked from behind.
When the bodies of the unconscious trainers began twitching, Ghost Umbrella suddenly whispered in Su Zimoâs ear: [We may be in luck. The first medallion may be nearby.]
Su Zimo nodded slightly, then happened to see Old Man Qin, who had been married, rush out of his restaurant with his sword, and then found himself near the Su familyâs shopping mall.
âIf the first medallion is in Shoushan, they will definitely show up here.â Su Zimo said certainly.
âBased on their posting on social media and declaring to the world that Dawn Organization was a conspiracy, they should really enjoy these things that makes everyone pay attention and panic. Since they would want to appreciate the results of their âprank,â they would definitely choose the nearest place to see the chaos theyâve caused with their own eyes.â Su Zimo softly analyzed. âIn a place like Shoushan, this is the best viewing platform.â
After Su Zimo finished speaking, Ghost Umbrella floated into the air and let the dolls protect Su Zimoâs back.
Su Zimo and the others still actually had a trump card.
The first medallion thought that even if they appeared in front of the human beings in this world, nobody would recognize them.
But Ghost Umbrella had experienced three worldsâŚ
Haha. To be honest, Ghost Umbrella had seen too many people and learned too much. He occasionally saw one or two malicious spirits. Really, he couldnât remember many of their faces. Moreover, he had amnesia, so his mind may not have recovered very well yetâŚ
But Su Zimo was betting on something.
He bet that the hidden first medallion would remember Ghost Umbrellaâs face!
His shop assistant was so eye-catching, how could he not be remembered? Not to mention he was the powerful ghost that opened the passage.
Su Zimo had already discussed it with Ghost Umbrella. If they wanted to find them, they needed to look for the one with the guiltiest conscience!
Just as Su Zimo knocked a malicious spirit into a muddy puddle with a stick, Ghost Umbrellaâs voice came from midair.
Su Zimo saw that Ghost Umbrella no longer restrained his power. He was surrounded by blood-colored blades made of qi, then instantly attacked the crowd in a certain direction!
Sure enough, just like Su Zimo guessed, it was a malicious spirit wearing the first medallion. He stood upright in the place nearest to the crowd.
Su Zimo didnât hesitate. With the help of the dolls, he cleared away the malicious spirits that were surrounding the ordinary people one by one, opening the black umbrella from time to time to push the crowd into a safe place.
[How can you still exist in this world!]
Su Zimo didnât deliberately pay attention to Ghost Umbrellaâs movements, but when he finished clearing the malicious spirits, he heard a harsh sound from the crowd.
[It seems the one who attacked me was you.] Ghost Umbrellaâs power consolidated, then attacked the source of the sound without reservation.
Su Zimo never heard about Ghost Umbrella being attacked. It didnât sound like something pleasant.
They targeted his mother, wanted to murder him many times, and even sneak attacked Ghost UmbrellaâŚ
Su Zimo couldnât help but turn his head, wanting to see the fellow who was stabbed by a thousand blades.
Although he didnât know what happened to him in that wasteland world, no matter how tragic his experience was, the bad things he did and the evil results he had caused couldnât be forgiven!
When Su Zimo felt that Ghost Umbrella didnât spare any energy, he was considerate and dispersed the surrounding people so Ghost Umbrella didnât have to be concerned about restraining himself. There was enough space to take that arrogant and simple malicious spirit and grind him continuously into the ground!
Of course, it definitely wasnât someone simple who could become the leader of Dawn Organization. Although his appearance wasnât the best, Su Zimo could clearly see that the malicious spiritâs eyes were faintly red!
Ghost Umbrellaâs power had also been consumed a lot when opening the passage before. Su Zimo felt the battle between the two would be evenly matched.
But the strange this was that the malicious spirit was being suppressed and beaten desperately by Ghost Umbrella at that moment.
âMaybe you can help.â Su Zimo was a bit worried, allowing the dolls around him to rush and go help nearby.
[Donât worry. Even if I lost because I underestimated an enemy before, in front of that person, I will never lose.]
Ghost Umbrella said something inexplicable, then directly opened the black umbrella in his hand at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
With the help of his strongest shield, the malicious spirit that originally wanted to continue approaching was suddenly tossed away. Taking advantage of the gap, Ghost Umbrella began floating and once again opened the umbrella surface to suppress the malicious spirit in the plaza.
Ghost Umbrella didnât need to suppress the malicious spirit for too long. He slashed the malicious spirit with a blood blade at that moment without hesitation.
Even if that guy was stronger, under the force of that blow that exhausted his full strength, he would definitely be stunned!
Even 3D special effects created by technology couldnât seem to recreate the shocking scene those people witnessed just now.
What happened before their eyes just now was truly a battle between powerful ghosts!
When Ghost Umbrella returned to Su Zimo, the slave medallion in his hand was white, except for the black dot on it, which was the mark of the first slave medallion.
Ghost Umbrella snorted while looking at the medallion and squeezed his right hand that was holding it. With a click in his palm, the slave medallion disappeared from the world.
The trainers who were forced into comas in the plaza also stopped convulsing. They laid in the plaza quietly, as if they were sleeping peacefully, except the place they were sleeping was somewhat unique.
âEven if the slave medallion is easy to get rid of, the many existing malicious spirits wonât disappear.â Su Zimo looked at the trainers who were slowly regaining consciousness. âMaybe these trainers need to become stronger.â
The comatose trainers of Dawn Organization regained consciousness, removed the newspapers still covering their hands and faced, and stood up from the cold plaza slightly bewildered. What they saw was Su Zimo, who was surrounded by a group of dolls, Ghost Umbrella floating beside Su Zimo, and even Uncle Hong, who was surrounded by various newspapers. They exuded a kind of mysterious, unpredictable feeling at that moment.
âDo you want to buy ghost tools? The ghost tools in this shop are at a holiday discount. You can buy a top ranked ghost tool for less than 200 yuan.â
Looking at the trainers who had awakened, Su Zimo showed a smile that belonged to a high quality businessman.
No matter how much he thought he wasnât suitable for fighting at the battlefront, it was better to obediently be an inconspicuous businessman. It not only played to his strengths, but also helped the shop produce more Shouhua, which may unexpectedly help people at some point.
To the trainers in front of Su Zimo, his words sounded unbelievable. Could they really buy top ranked ghost tools for less than 200 yuan?
They really wanted to blurt out questions to Su Zimo. Did that young guy really know the price of Devil May Cry <sup>1</sup> on the market right now?
But looking at the dolls who smiled at them and waved their hands and could step on malicious spirits with a flick of their soft feet, as well as the malicious spirit standing beside Su Zimo, the trainers really couldnât regard Su Zimo as an ignorant person.
Was it true what that guy said?
Was he really planning to sell ghost tools to them at such low prices? Even if it was discounted, it didnât need to be so fierce.
Naturally, they wouldnât know that the prices Su Zimo mentioned were the original prices, and that An Yu Yi Yuâs prices never changed.
âWho are you anyway?â A veteran walked out of the crowd and couldnât help but ask suspiciously.
Ghost Umbrella descended from midair at that time, standing firmly behind Su Zimo.
âIâm just an ordinary shop owner.â Su Zimo adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, revealing a dazzling smile.
Everything seemed to have only just begun.
Thatâs it guys! The main story is over; all we have left is 1 fanwai chapter. It was a bit rushed because author got sick near the middle of the second volume, but she did her best! It turned out well enough regardless ?
Once the fanwai is posted, I may switch to BTHM for bonus chapters instead of this. Will see after a couple weeks since school is keeping me busy right now.
