Chapter 1319: Chapter 1010: Hell Chat Group

Blacklist.

The notorious Hell bounty in the current circumstances.

Initiated by the Believers of the Piper, scattered across various depths of Hell, the Abyss Handlers have joined forces to keep a small blacklist book.

It’s akin to the Astronomical Society’s wanted list, often used by various odd characters as a yardstick for comparison or whatnot.

The people recorded on the list are often those who have offended various Hell factions and thus have a large bounty placed upon them, such as Chu Hai, Chu Hai, and Chu Hai...

After all, Chu Hai is the only natural enemy who enjoys diving into Hell for no reason, and he’s also the most annoying among all the natural enemies.

Of course, as an authority in Hell in its own right, its function is certainly more than just to update rankings in real-time.

It is itself an Authority Relic.

A network of power spread throughout Hell, formed through the connections between countless blacklists.

"It should be the Abliss Handlers who issued a bounty through their blacklist."

Gregory said with understanding, "That list has the Piper’s authority. As long as you’re in Hell, the list will react. You’ve probably been targeted by the Insight Directive jointly issued by six Abyss Handlers, the pointer of hatred will lock onto your position, and you won’t escape for three days."

"What should we do then?"

Huai Shi sighed, looked at the increasingly dark clouds above, and pulled out the Fly King to cock the gun: "I figured we might just have to fight them..."

"Wait, damn it, slow down, slow down."

Gregory rushed forward to push the muzzle down: "Why are you in such a hurry, aren’t you the Great Priestess? First, split an Afterimage for me, the best one, and do it fast."

Huai Shi was puzzled but complied as instructed.

Soon, a silhouette resembling him emerged from the shadows, vividly standing in front of Gregory.

"Huai Shi."

The Ancient Alchemist suddenly asked.

"Hmm?"

Huai Shi and the Afterimage asked in confusion, the double echo spreading: "What’s up?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a clear snap.

Gregory snapped his fingers, and Huai Shi suddenly felt lighter, while the Afterimage abruptly became heavier—it suddenly became animated, like another Huai Shi, full of spirit.

A portion of Huai Shi’s Source Substance was transferred to his Afterimage out of thin air.

It’s as if it were given life.

"Oh, this feels good." The Afterimage Huai Shi moved his neck, glanced around, and quickly developed solidifying and mutating symptoms: "It’s really nice, living in Hell is just..."

Slam!

The Ancient Alchemist snapped his fingers, causing Huai Shi’s Afterimage to instantly collapse, turning into a palm-sized dog head statue that fell from the air.

Gregory observed it for a moment, looking at Huai Shi with an ’I knew you weren’t human’ expression.

"Honestly, this is the first time I’ve seen something this bizarre after a mutation..."

Though he muttered complaints, his hands kept moving, pushing the door open, smoothly and swiftly drawing an ominous-looking Mystic Ritual in the clearing, and then placing the statue on it.

With a clap of his hands.

A white light flashed, and the statue vanished without a trace. The dark clouds in the sky also disappeared instantly.

But Huai Shi heard an eerie chewing sound in his ear, like an illusion.

Creepy!

"What happened?" Huai Shi asked.

"Nothing much, I just performed a simple sacrificial ritual and tossed your doppelg?nger to the Paradise of Bliss." Gregory calmly clapped his hands: "By the time they open the door and face what’s coming, we should be temporarily off the hook."

Huai Shi was stunned.

For a moment, he didn’t know whether to be furious or immensely grateful—this way of diverting disaster was too bizarre!

Also, did you just feed my Source Substance and Afterimage to the Ranch Owner!

How could you be so mean?

But in a hurry, there really wasn’t any better solution, so it had to be this way.

Except for Beelzebub, who didn’t get a chance to appear and was still cursing, everyone else was quite satisfied.

"So, does this mean we’ve gotten rid of the trouble?" Huai Shi asked.

"That depends on how much they hate you."

Gregory replied: "Even though the Insight Directive has a ten-day buffer, they can still invite another six people in three days to issue it again.

It’s best for you to be prepared since the doppelg?nger trick won’t work so well if they’re prepared for it, and next time they could do a remote drop..."

He paused for a moment, glanced at Huai Shi, who seemed even more hellish than the Hell creatures themselves, and swallowed back the word ’curse’.

Unless a ruler well-versed in this personally casts a curse, most curses turn into nourishment for this guy’s mouth.

Even so, offending the Abyss Handlers still makes one quite frustrated.

"Those bastards are hard to deal with. Offending one is like offending a whole group. Especially since they not only like to fight themselves but also love to shake..."

He paused again, the word "people" never came out.

Left speechless with nothing to say.

The look towards Huai Shi was exceptionally strange: What kind of bizarre being is this? Why does it feel more and more that the person in front is the same as the ones opposite?

"Huh? What’s wrong?"

Someone, unaware of how disliked they were, was cracking seeds obtained from the Ancient Alchemist, and said enthusiastically: "Why do you speak halfway? Continue, continue."

Not only did he crack them himself, but he also fed them to the little rat that popped out of his pocket.

In a flash, half a pound was almost gone.

Not to mention the Abyss Handlers, even Gregory wanted to kill him—he only brought three pounds of seeds, and was worried it wouldn’t be enough if conserved, Huai Shi led the charge, and instantly half was freeloaded away. It was infuriating.

The main issue is, this person completely didn’t understand the seriousness of the situation.

An existence like the Abyss Handlers is never meant for solo battles.

As Believers of the Element of Destructive, the Piper, these people come from various backgrounds, almost covering every corner of the Current Circumstances, Borders, and Hell.

Whether it’s the Owner of the Great Mob, Mutant Species, humans, even other beasts. Anyone pursuing the Wisdom of the Abyss can receive the Piper’s blessing and obtain the qualification to enter the eternal dream.

In the Current Circumstances’ literature, this is the legendary ’Hell chat group’ members.

Among them, there are strong rulers, and some who are fragile, unable to withstand the wind and rain, can only survive in a thermostatic vial. But essentially, these guys are never known for their power but rather for their reliance on stronger beings.

More often, in various Hells and complex environments, these people appear as assistants. Providing various solutions for rulers and large forces, even personally participating, pledging allegiance to great existences, contributing power.

They’re a group that can perfectly guest as HR, product managers, operations, finance, etc., important roles in Hell monopoly groups.

Rare things are precious.

In Hell, if we talk about those who can fight, nine and a half out of ten, but those with brains are really too few...

Because of their outstanding abilities, they can provide irreplaceable help to rulers, thus they can hold crucial middle-level or even senior positions in various forces.

Once a contract is signed, then it is executed 100%. Affordable and efficient, who wouldn’t want it?

What’s more deadly is, this group of members is extremely united, rarely appearing in internal strife and loss situations. Besides being enemies due to their affiliations, more often they unite for mutual benefit.

This is a vast power network spread throughout the Abyss, offending one is offending them all.

All creatures on the blacklist will face hostility from all Abyss Handlers, along with the forces behind them...

Over time, even rulers began to issue rewards through the list.

Of course, if you are as strong as Chu Hai, you can naturally not care, occasionally annoyed, can randomly call two Abyss Handlers to kowtow for fun. Besides biting the quilt and making voodoo dolls in secret, they have no solutions.

But Huai Shi looks at his own dog-face appearance, even feels unworthy of that treatment...

"I just went to Helios once, why this?" Huai Shi was irritated: "Even the invitation was sent by them, how come going for training put me on the blacklist?"

"Heh." Raymond gave a cold sidelong glance without bothering to speak.

"Blacklist?"

Captain Foster, after cracking the seeds, slapped his head: "Last month I bought a replica in the Group of Thousands of Evils—"

As he spoke, he pulled out a scroll from his pocket, unfolding it expectantly: "Wait let me see... Holy crap? Why is your ranking this high?"

Captain was shocked speechless.

In the vast list, searching Huai Shi took only a moment, not because the thing’s efficiency was so amazing, but because...

[——Hell Reward, Rank 91!]

In a few hours, it made the top hundred in the entire domain!

And has even further potential...

Just ahead of him was the Great Knight of the Temple Knights who burned, killed, and looted seven or eight times daily in Hell, behind him was the Traitor Crown Bearer who stole the Storm Horn from the Thunder Sea...

Quite a few Fifth Stage ranks outside one or two hundred, Huai Shi is the only Third Stage in the top hundred, and he alone has at least eighty Hell bounties on him!

Even though the single quantities are not many, combined they’re terrifyingly abundant, making him a rising star in the crowdfunding world.

From Paradise to Wasteland Kingdom, from Borders to Hell... as long as you take Huai Shi’s head, you can exchange it for a lifetime’s worth of never-ending Source Crystals and various treasures in at least twenty depths of Hell.

Even the Purgatory Workshop Masters contributed half of the share.

Looking closely, inside there’s also the Hell Music Association and Chef Demon Cooking Competition Committee—both joining in the fun by providing two bounties, demanding capture and if captured can be transported to them, price negotiable.

Equivalent to providing a bit of consolation protection.

But no matter what, Huai Shi felt they just wanted to lock him up, add some seasoning and curses, waiting for him to solidify and join their happy Hell family.

It can only be said, the reason behind is chilling... frankly, not a single person is hoping for any good for him.

Why is it that the moment he steps out, he’s marked by thieves?

"How about we pack away some presents and return to the Ivory Tower first!"

Huai Shi looked up to the sky and sighed.

Don’t want to do this anymore!
