As if a breeze blew by, the ghost instantly appeared beside the bed. His footsteps were silent, and his aura was extremely restrained.
If it wasn't detected by the naked eye, relying solely on perception, Claire would probably not be able to detect the existence of the assassin even if she was back to back with the ghost.
Not to mention, at this moment the two sides were separated by a room.
On the bed, Kaxiu acted very casually, picking up the fruit next to him and eating it. The ghost paused for a moment, then whispered.
"I found out that the assassination last night was carried out by the Shadow Assassin Organization commissioned by the royal family. This morning, I destroyed the Shadow Assassin Organization's headquarters. But unfortunately, I was unable to kill Soth. He was protected by the royal family's assassins, which bought him time to escape. I only cut off one hand..."
Kaxiu had a blank expression on his face: "It doesn't matter, as long as I didn't kill him."
After a pause, Kaxiu continued: "Tonight, bring the Iron Knight to the City of Gray End to experience the effect of the Shelter Tower. In addition, I plan to leave the City of Gray End and explore the Pale Land. I don't know if you two are interested. Maybe we can travel together..."
The ghost nodded: "That's exactly what I meant. I took on some dangerous missions in Black Rain Villa that can only be carried out in the world of disaster. The mission locations are all in the Pale Land area. This area covers a very large area, probably as large as several counties in the Red Li Empire combined..."
When Kaxiu heard the ghost's words, his eyes flickered slightly. Because the other party directly said the name of Black Rain Villa without any reservation. Could it be that after the last mission was completed, the ghost's authority was greatly increased. Therefore, he would not be punished for revealing some information related to the villa.
Thinking of this, Kaxiu did not hesitate to ask the ghost about the content of the mission. Unexpectedly, the ghost was well prepared and handed him a booklet.
Kaxiu took it, faced the sunlight, and read the contents.
1. "Undead Cemetery"
introduce:
Dark creatures are twisted species with powerful immortality. They lack the nourishment of one of the three gates and are deformed products. In the beast and wild beast stages, dark creatures still have weaknesses. Once they reach the level of disaster spirits and are in the disaster world environment, dark creatures will become immortal monsters, and it is almost impossible to kill them at the same level.
However, for unknown reasons, a mysterious force entered the world of disaster at some point in ancient times. It hunted down the immortal dark creatures and imprisoned them in the Undead Cemetery. It used its ultimate killing power to erase the immortality and eventually succeeded in killing a large number of disaster spirits.
The Undead Cemetery is an experimental field, slaughterhouse, and burial ground. Located in the southeast corner of the Pale Land, black air and blood are rising into the sky, and can be seen from a distance.
The Undead Cemetery is extremely dangerous. Inside, there are a large number of immortal Calamity-level corpses, which have spawned a new type of dark creature called "Blood Slaughter".
Task requirements:
Enter the Undead Cemetery and successfully excavate ten Scourge-level skeletons.
The above are the minimum requirements, the more the better, and the limit is fifty.
Mission Rewards:
According to the quantity and quality of the Disaster Soul-level Skeletons, they can be exchanged for the power of the Secret Soul at the Baptismal Church. In addition, the authority of the Mark is slightly improved.

4. Howling Canyon
introduce:
Those with extremely condensed spirits, after death in the real world, will have their spirits sink into the world of disaster and turn into undead. They have the fighting skills they had in their lifetime, but most of them have no consciousness, and walk aimlessly in the pale land as if following the rules. Undead cannot be killed, but can be defeated. After the undead are defeated, their spirits merge into the world and can condense and appear again in random corners of the pale land. However, at the moment when the undead are defeated, their spirits are baptized like rain, and the combat experience engraved in them can be absorbed by people.
The Howling Canyon is located in the southwest corner of the Pale Land, in the gap between a horn-shaped mountain peak. The terrain here is special, and there are caves on the inner wall of the canyon. Soul jades that can nourish spirits appear in the caves every once in a while. The undead of the Pale Land will be attracted here by instinct, occupy a cave, absorb the soul jade, and then leave.
After the undead enters the cave, it falls into a state of silence. It will only become angry if another undead or soul enters, and the two will fight to the death.
Task requirements:
Find the Howling Canyon, defeat the undead, and obtain a soul jade.
The above are the minimum requirements, the limit is five.
Mission Rewards:
Depending on the weight and quality of the soul jade, it can be exchanged for equivalent secret soul power.
The authority of Indian journalists has been slightly increased.
…
7. "Eternal Burning"
introduce:
When the grass and trees burn, they turn into black ash, but when life burns, it turns into white ash. The pale earth is the white ash that covers the earth after eternal burning. It is the ash left after the vitality burns out.
Long, long ago, the pale earth was burning with eternal flames. However, over a long period of time, the eternal flames gradually faded. The earth was covered with ash, and sporadic flames were still burning quietly.
The Eternal Flame is a rage that burns the world, and is extremely dangerous. But danger and opportunity coexist. If you can obtain a ray of the Eternal Flame, and burn your soul body, you will suffer horrible pain, but your whole body will be tempered to the extreme, evaporating impurities and concentrating its volume.
In this way, those who have reached the limit of nothingness can break through unreachable limits.
Task requirements:
Find the place of eternal burning and obtain an everlasting flame.
The above are the minimum requirements, the limit is three strands.
Mission Rewards:
The power of the secret soul is exchanged according to the quantity and temperature of the eternal flame.
The authority of Indian journalists has been slightly increased.
8. Pale Source
The eternal flame burned the pale earth, and the ashes on the ground were all the ashes left after the burning of life. But in fact, all the ashes came from a huge plant. The eternal flame was difficult to extinguish, and the immortal giant plant could also grow infinitely. Thus, eternal burning was born.
The Pale Source is a gigantic plant that burns eternally, standing on the borderline of destruction and rebirth, constantly repeating the process of death and resurrection.
The seeds born from the plant in the Eternal Flame have magical properties that can parasitize the spirit body and give it certain immortal properties. If someone swallows a pale seed, then use the Eternal Flame to burn it.
Then he will have more than a 50% chance of successfully tempering and sublimating.
Task requirements:
Find the Pale Source and obtain a Pale Seed.
The above are the minimum requirements, the limit is two.
Mission Rewards:
According to the number of pale seeds, it can be exchanged for the power of secret soul.
The authority of Indian journalists has been slightly increased.

10. Meteorite fragments
Pale Earth, Dead Rain Zone, Desperate Bone Forest, Dark Mountains, Scarlet Lake, Rotten Swamp, Crystalline Sand Sea. In every special area of the Disaster World, there is a special meteorite fragment at the core.
It should be noted that every meteorite fragment is near the disaster hole. That area is a severely eroded area of the disaster, a breeding area for dark creatures, and a gathering place for immortal disaster spirits. Even the ultimate dark body has appeared there.
The world of disaster also has day and night, and the night is divided into three levels. The most common is the bloody night. In the bloody night state, dark creatures are restless, wild beasts are rampant, and their aggression is far beyond the ordinary. The second stage is the lunar corona, where the interior of the moon seems to be swallowed by darkness, forming a glowing ring that emits a dim light. In this state, the pale earth has a certain probability of triggering a beast tide, and the immortal disaster spirits go berserk and attack all living things within their sight. The activity of disasters in the air increases greatly, and the disaster fog phenomenon will occur in certain specific areas. Those who enter will become wild beasts!
The third stage is the night without light. The ultimate form of darkness appears!
!
On a lightless night, small pieces of meteorite fragments scattered on the pale earth will emit light. These meteorite fragments are generally only the size of a fingernail or a palm, but they still have a fatal attraction to dark creatures. Some dark creatures will try to swallow the meteorite fragments, but they are not qualified, causing self-explosion. Other dark creatures devour the flesh and blood of the self-explosion, causing another explosion. This will lead to a large-scale "blood-eating martyrdom" phenomenon.
Task requirements:
On a sunless night, find a meteorite fragment.
The above are minimum requirements, there is no upper limit.
Mission Rewards:
Depending on the number and size of the meteorite fragments, you will receive mysterious rewards from the villa.
The authority of Indian journalists has been greatly enhanced.
…
On the hospital bed, Kaxiu fell into deep thought. The amount of information brought by the Black Rain Villa mission introduction was quite large, and it could even be said that it revealed part of the rules of this disaster world. Some of these things could be linked to the secret information that Kaxiu had learned and confirmed each other.
First is the mission "Undead Cemetery". It explains that the spirits of the world of disaster are almost immortal and cannot be killed by beings of the same level. It is also said that in ancient times, a mysterious force entered the world of disaster and hunted down the spirits of disaster. Moreover, they used their extreme killing power to continuously kill the spirits of disaster, and finally succeeded in killing them.
Kaxiu immediately thought of his two Nandou secrets. Did this series of ancient secret martial arts come from that period? A mysterious force used the immortal disaster spirits to conduct experiments, constantly improving and enhancing the killing power. In the end, it made the power of each characteristic reach the extreme.
Thus, it becomes the nemesis of immortality, like a natural enemy.
Secondly, the "Howling Canyon" mission is not easy either. Undead spirits are a strange phenomenon that is born after the death of a fighter, and are condensed from spirit. And spirit is often imprinted with the secret martial arts insights that the fighter has practiced in this life.
Therefore, even if every undead only has instincts, he should be a master of skills. Kaxiu once wanted to hone his boxing skills in the world of disaster, and the best opponent he expected was the undead. Now, a large number of undead in the pale land have gathered in the Howling Canyon. Instead of encountering undead in the land of several counties, it is better to go to the gathering place of undead to find out.
Moreover, Kaxiu was very interested in the soul jade that could nourish one's spirit.
The two tasks "Eternal Burning" and "Pale Origin" can be linked together, involving the origin of the pale earth. A huge immortal plant was burned by the eternal flame, and the falling white ash covered the entire land for thousands of years. If someone can get the pale seed, they can try to withstand the tempering of the eternal flame on their spirit.
Thereby breaking through the limits of talent and reaching an unattainable level.
The last one is "Meteorite Fragments", the mission description is very thought-provoking. It makes people wonder if meteorites are the source of all disasters
Kaxiu still clearly remembers that during the third time he led the Northern Secret Martial Arts to attack the Black Rain Villa, there was a huge meteorite with strange radiation underneath the core building, the Baptismal Church. Kaxiu was irradiated by the meteorite, and his body inevitably turned into a dark creature.
So much so that on the fourth return, he almost fell into darkness.
The information now was very limited and could not be completely confirmed. He was just guessing and might not be able to guess correctly. But this information undoubtedly gave Kaxiu inspiration and guided him in the direction of exploring the world of disasters. He did not have to run around like a headless fly, bumping into walls randomly.
Among the many tasks in Black Rain Villa, there are only five that Kaxiu is interested in. Among them, the first task has the most obvious characteristics. In the southeast corner of the pale land, black air and blood light rise into the sky, which can be seen from a distance. As for the others, even if there is a general range, it may be difficult to find.
However, Kaxiu has a solution, and the Book of the Devil is the best choice.
He wanted to see the limit of the Devil's Book. Since this book can even show the location of the Nandou Secret in detail, the clues of the above tasks may not be a problem. Kaxiu's time travel cannot bring the Devil's Book. But he had planned it in advance and kept an eye on it when he was in the real world. He investigated the trajectory of Panku's Box for hundreds of years.
If Kaxiu wants, he can go and get it at any time.
"Are these your next tasks?"
After a moment of silence, Kaxiu closed the book and asked.
"Yes, even with my current authority, I cannot take the mission information out of Black Rain Villa without accepting the mission. Of course, there is no penalty for failure in these missions, and there is no time limit. I plan to complete them slowly from easy to difficult. After all, all missions in the disaster world are very dangerous. If it weren't for the fact that I can work with you to eliminate the disaster, I would never accept these missions..."
The ghost said in a low voice.
"Iron Knight also completes these missions with you?"
"Um."
"Then let me be one of you, I wonder if you would welcome it?"
Kaxiu raised his head and looked at the ghost.
"Of course you are welcome. This way, I will be more confident." The corners of the ghost's mouth curled up slightly under the mask. He knew Kaxiu's strength very well. If he could help him complete the task, the safety and success rate would be greatly increased. In fact, the ghost showed Kaxiu the task that Black Rain Villa had taken on, and he also had some thoughts in mind. The rare treasures introduced in the task would undoubtedly make a strong man excited. Now it seems that this move is very wise.
"Tatttatt..."
Outside the room, there was suddenly the sound of footsteps coming towards this side.
Kaxiu and the ghost looked at each other and said, "Then, see you tonight..."
"See you tonight, I'm leaving now..."
As soon as the ghost finished speaking, his entire figure seemed to blend into the surrounding air. When the door opened with a click, the doctor from the sanatorium walked in, and only Kaxiu was left in the ward, resting with his eyes closed.
