After entering the secret door, what greeted Huo Shan’s eyes was a narrow space, only about a dozen centimeters wide and less than a meter high.

This was a small hidden room that Huo Shan had specially prepared for himself after moving into this apartment.

Since its completion, Huo Shan had never used this hidden room even once.

The space within was extremely small, only enough to conceal a teddy bear like him.

But precisely because of this, the small hidden room was difficult to discover. Upon entering, Huo Shan felt a sense of security and was incredibly grateful for his decision to build this small room.

Then, Huo Shan turned on his phone and quickly sent a message to Song Xu, urging his followers to come and protect him.

“Damn it, if this were in the city, they would arrive quickly.”

“But they all happen to be in the suburbs now…”

Just then, Huo Shan’s body stiffened slightly. He heard some movement in the apartment.

“Did someone come in?”

Then, it sounded as if someone was rummaging through the room.

Huo Shan hurriedly looked out through a crack left in the partition and saw a stranger searching through the room.

“A neighbor taking advantage of the situation?”

“Or is someone… looking for me?”

After sending the message to Song Xu, Huo Shan quickly silenced his phone. He dared not make any extra movements, like a real doll, lying quietly in the partition space without making a sound.

At the same time, inside Huo Shan’s apartment.

Zhang Yu, disguised as a stranger and wearing a hooded jacket, was quickly searching the room.

But the items in this room were too mixed, too numerous. Zhang Yu felt that it would be impossible to finish searching in a few hours.

Fu Ji said, “He must be hiding in this room.”

“But each Evil God can manifest in different forms. It could be a toy, stationery, a pen, a glove, a necklace…”

“There’s no time to search one by one.”

“Smash it! Use your fastest speed to smash everything in the room. You’ll definitely find him!”

A layer of Formless Cloud Qi surged from Zhang Yu’s body.

However, to conceal his unique traits, he had activated the Great Sun Qi Sea before unleashing the Formless Cloud Qi.

As light was absorbed, the Formless Cloud Qi that surged from Zhang Yu was pitch black, like rolling dark clouds, crashing toward everything in front of him.

A series of smashing sounds echoed one after another.

However, this commotion was fairly common in this complex old apartment, mixing with the sounds of arguments, music, and videos from other floors, not attracting much attention.

Inside the partition, Huo Shan watched through the gap as things outside were constantly being smashed, and his heart tightened.

He knew that a neighbor taking advantage of the fire wouldn’t come to his house to smash everything like this.

This kind of smashing operation made him feel a chill: “So they really are looking for me?”

And thinking of all the electronic products, game consoles, computers, figurines, and models he had bought being constantly smashed, Huo Shan felt his heart bleeding.

“Damn it… they’re smashing my house!”

“Bullying an Evil God who doesn’t dare call the police, huh!”

“Just you wait!”

Huo Shan hurriedly pressed his phone, urging Song Xu and the others to come and rescue him quickly.

Not long before.

Inside a dilapidated unfinished building in the suburbs.

After using the flying sword to investigate and finding nothing unusual.

Song Xu and the other five followers walked in from different locations in the unfinished building.

“There’s nothing here.”

One follower frowned and said, “Was the information wrong? Or is the timing off?”

Song Xu frowned and said, “Something feels wrong. Let’s withdraw first.”

Just as Song Xu and the six were leaving the unfinished building, a beam of light suddenly shone over.

Two security guards looked at them and said, “You six! What are you doing? Sneaking around to steal things late at night, huh?”

“This is company property, you know?”

Song Xu glanced at the Vientiane Group uniform on the security guards and thought to himself, “This building belongs to Vientiane Group? Even an unfinished building has guards? They came too quickly.”

Thinking of this, the bad feeling in Song Xu’s heart grew stronger.

As for beating up the security guards in front of them and rushing out?

Song Xu and the six didn’t dare to do that. After all, these security guards represented the company behind them and had cameras that were constantly connected to the internet.

In the eyes of the six Evil God followers, these two security guards were more dangerous and troublesome than other Evil Gods.

After all, when fighting another Evil God, even if they fought until they were covered in blood, neither side would dare call the police. They would just grit their teeth and do it.

But if they beat the security guards in front of them, they feared they would not escape the company’s lawsuit.

Especially among Song Xu and the six, there were two delivery followers and one courier follower. At the first sight of the security guards, they were already short of breath. Not to mention fighting, they lowered their heads, looking like they didn’t dare to answer back.

Song Xu sighed inwardly, knowing that they were suffering from occupational hazard, and could only stand up and say, “We didn’t steal anything. You two can check if you don’t believe us.”

The security guard raised his electric baton and said, “We received a report that someone was stealing building materials here. You all come with me to register your information first.”

The construction site follower took out a bottle of the Dao Heart Buffer and handed it over with a smile: “Big brothers, we were just jogging and accidentally ran in here. We really didn’t take anything…”

The security guard slapped his hand away and scolded, “Who’s your big brother? Come with me to register!”

The six Evil God followers were angry but dared not speak, and could only constantly explain in a good-natured manner.

The leading security guard became more and more arrogant. Even though there were six of them, he had the entire company behind him. How could these six, who looked like poor ghosts, be able to resist?

Especially with his decades of experience as a security guard, these guys were full of the aura of deliverymen, couriers, and construction workers. It was only right that he suppressed them.

Just as the two sides were arguing, Song Xu felt his phone vibrate several times, and finally took it out to look at it. His expression suddenly changed, and he thought to himself, “Huo Shan’s been reported?”

“Bootleg techniques?”

“Someone is looking for Huo Shan?”

Recalling his experience today, Song Xu’s mind immediately exploded like a flash of lightning, and a strong sense of anger flashed in his heart.

“Evil Gods fighting each other and actually reporting to the authorities!”

“The other Evil God is too out of line!”

Song Xu glared fiercely at the two security guards in front of him, knowing that he could not be delayed here any longer.

The other five followers sensed the change in Song Xu’s aura and all looked at him.

The six looked at each other, and the aura on their bodies also changed suddenly.

If they were still meek and submissive when facing the security guards just now, now they suddenly stood up straight.

“We can’t delay any longer, so there’s only…”

Song Xu’s figure flashed suddenly, one palm blocking the other’s camera, and one palm reaching out to the other party’s face: “Brother, the company’s good, but it’s not like it’s good for you. Be accommodating.”

The security guard looked at the thousands of dollars that the other party stuffed in front of him, and his attitude softened immediately.

Song Xu sneered inwardly, “Hmph, just two company security guards. I was just reluctant to spend money just now, that’s why I was explaining to you properly.”

“Now I’m in a hurry, why bother explaining!”

Just as Song Xu and others were entangled with the security guards.

Bai Zhenzhen was watching the images from the surveillance software on her phone.

Since Song Xu and the six entered the unfinished building, Bai Zhenzhen had been constantly watching the contents of the surveillance footage.

She thought to herself, “It’s a good thing the surveillance cameras I put up yesterday are working. They’re not cheap, though.”

Considering the battery, internet connection, and clarity, Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu spent several thousand dollars on the surveillance cameras, batteries, network cards… they hid in the unfinished building.

But it was indeed worth the money. Bai Zhenzhen looked at Song Xu’s appearance and immediately recognized his identity.

“It’s him!”

More than half a year ago, when Bai Zhenzhen tried to investigate the leader of the Poor People’s Alliance, she had screened out several suspected figures from White Dragon High School.

And Song Xu was one of them. Bai Zhenzhen still had his photos and information stored on her phone.

“Are they leaving?”

Bai Zhenzhen saw the security guards meeting Song Xu and the six, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“Vientiane Group’s response is very quick. They came so quickly.”

It was Bai Zhenzhen who called and reported that someone was suspected of stealing steel bars in the unfinished building, which attracted the security guards from Vientiane Group.

However, Bai Zhenzhen knew that these two security guards could be bought off with a few thousand or ten thousand at most, and immediately sent a message to remind Zhang Yu.

Bai Zhenzhen: They’re about to leave the unfinished building. Speed up your actions.

Bai Zhenzhen: I recognized one of them as Song Xu. I’ll send you his information.

A moment later, when Bai Zhenzhen looked at the surveillance footage again, Song Xu and the six had successfully gotten rid of the security guards and left the unfinished building.

But Bai Zhenzhen was not too worried.

She opened the navigation software and looked at the route from the unfinished building to the Evil God’s apartment. The road was already a sea of red.

“Hehe, I didn’t randomly set this time and location with Yu Zi.”

“Now is the peak of the midnight rush hour, and the traffic is congested on the way here.”

“It should be able to delay them for a while longer.”

Inside the apartment room.

Zhang Yu looked at the information sent by Bai Zhenzhen and thought to himself, “Are they coming back?”

He glanced at Song Xu’s information, raised his head, and looked at the various furniture that had been smashed by him, and frowned.

“Why are there so many things in this dilapidated place?”

Zhang Yu looked at the various messy items, clothes that seemed to be for pets, massage pillows, rows of sneakers, detergents, figurines, models…

“It’s simply a garbage dump.”

Inside the partition, Huo Shan watched Zhang Yu smash for another ten minutes through the crack. While feeling heartbroken, he was also incredibly grateful: “Who the hell said I buy things randomly? If I hadn’t bought so many things, how could I have delayed for so long?”

And Fu Ji looked at Zhang Yu smashing so many things and still not finding the Evil God, and reminded him, “Something feels wrong.”

“Could there be a secret room or partition in this dilapidated apartment?”

Zhang Yu frowned and said, “Do I have to smash the wall?”

Fu Ji said, “Smashing the wall will attract too much attention. Neighbors might call the property management.”

Just then, Zhang Yu’s phone vibrated, sending Bai Zhenzhen’s message.

Zhang Yu knew that Bai Zhenzhen had been watching the surveillance of the unfinished building and keeping an eye on things from the alley below, so the message must be important. He immediately picked up the phone and looked at it.

Bai Zhenzhen: They’re here!

Bai Zhenzhen: Retreat quickly!

Zhang Yu’s eyes narrowed: “So fast!”

Bai Zhenzhen: Hurry! They’re too fast! It’ll be too late if you don’t leave.

Looking at the pile of garbage in front of him, Zhang Yu snorted coldly, seeming to bring up a strong sense of unwillingness, and left the room.
