I really gave in!

Wu Xiaode was a little surprised.

How could an evil demon admit defeat to a sentient being like himself?

——That’s not right, I am also a demon now!

While thinking, the statue onlookers shouted:

"The second test passed!"

"Now is the final test——"

"Before the last test begins, I want to bring you a message for Kaling in this world."

"Please speak," Wu Xiaode said.

The statue's voice became chilling:

"If you just want to pass the test, this world is extremely welcoming and hopes that an outstanding demon like you can become a saint soon."

"The next test in this world will be very simple, you can pass it with peace of mind."

"But if your goal is to get cards -"

"This is equivalent to trying to kill Kaling in this world. Kaling will try his best to increase the difficulty and fight you to the death."

"Either to simply pass the test, or to decide whether to live or die."

"Please choose."

Wu Xiaode nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

——Actually, if it were any other test, I would wish to pass it smoothly, and I would not want to cause any trouble.

But this test is different.

"Sir," the evil demon said, "I really don't understand. In fact, as long as you nod your head, you can quickly pass the test immediately."

"——You will be the first evil demon to enter the Holy Realm!"

"Why do you have to have trouble with the cards?"

Wu Xiaode listened, but didn't speak for a while.

yes.

Why do I have to hold the "Pilgrimage" card in my hand, even if I risk my life against Kaling?

Even the old goblin scolded him as "crazy" when he heard that he was going to do this for the first time.

But--

As someone who has been on the streets for a long time, I actually subconsciously pay attention to one thing.

Safety.

This is no joke.

Before a fight, quickly determine the number of men on both sides.

You need to check whether the alley is a dead end. If you are surrounded, whether you can climb over the wall or not, and whether there are other ways to escape.

You need to know clearly whether the opponent is a slick veteran, a dumbass, or a pustule who dares not take action at all.

Trying your best is not something you do casually.

Fight hard to live, not to die.

Just like now——

I am walking on a "pilgrimage journey" that no one has ever done before, and I will reach the holy world sooner or later.

——But what if the Holy World is a trap?

Holding all the cards in hand is a way out in advance.

Once you find something is wrong, at least the entire "pilgrimage" is under your control.

At worst, the table will be flipped, and no one will play!

This is actually not some amazing thinking, nor is it a mental illness.

This is just the subconscious behavior of a street survivor.

"If you can come to talk in advance, you can be considered sincere, then..."

Wu Xiaode said: "Tell Kaling behind you that since it has such sincerity, then I can take a step back."

"What do you mean?" the statue asked.

"As long as it surrenders, I will keep it safe and give it a sum of money to run away. From now on, the affairs in the world will have nothing to do with it," Wu Xiaode said.

The statue understood and growled: "Do you still want to seize the cards from this world?"

"Yes, I am very timid, so this road to heaven must be in my hands before I dare to move forward." Wu Xiaode said frankly.

The statue fell silent, seemingly going to communicate with Kaling.

after awhile.

Its voice became callous again:

"The final test begins."

A moment.

The lights throughout the manor came on.

Many people appeared in the manor. Judging by their attire, they included servants, grooms, ladies, slaves, housekeepers, etc.

"There is a 'someone who can definitely kill you' hidden among these people."

"You must survive until sunrise tomorrow."

"The test begins!"

A chill ran through Wu Xiaode's body.

Surely you can kill my people?

Wouldn't that be more powerful than the Eternal Demon?

Although I didn't know what was going on, I already instinctively felt some kind of uneasiness.

Accompanied by the sound of "The test begins", the manor housekeeper standing at the gate suddenly walked towards Wu Xiaode.

He bowed respectfully and said:

"Welcome distinguished guest, are you here to attend the dance? Please come with me."

As he spoke, the manor door slowly closed.

Soothing music sounded in the manor.

People were talking to each other at the dance, and several beautiful women even looked at Wu Xiaode.

——The dance is about to begin!

In this dance, there is a guy who can kill Wu Xiaode!

"No, I'm not here to attend the dance." Wu Xiaode said.

"Then what are you here for?" the steward asked in surprise.

"Do you have a person named Gu Qingshan here?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The butler said politely:

"It seems that there is such a person, why don't you go to the dance and look for him yourself."

——There is a yarn!

Gu Qingshan stayed in the blood sea world, how could he come here easily?

As soon as he comes, everything will enter the final battle!

so--

"Sorry, I have a grudge against this person. As long as he is around, I don't want to stay any longer. I'm sorry. Goodbye." Wu Xiaode said.

After saying that, he turned around and walked away without hesitation.

The gate of the manor was closed, and he climbed out directly.

Since there is someone at the dance who can kill me, then I will leave the dance.

The evil spirit named also came out.

Wu Xiaode glanced at it.

strangeness.

I didn't feel it just now, but looking at it now, I feel a little nervous.
