"Can I pay by scanning a QR Code?"

Xiao Mu took out his cellphone.

"Any payment method you prefer is fine, as long as it is convenient for you. If you don't have money, it is okay to owe it."

Boss Pan smiled and placed an image of a QR code in front of Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu scanned the code with his phone.

"Hey Pan, one roast chicken, please!"

A tall man dressed in a police uniform walked in, looking like he hadn't slept well.

"Officer Xu, why so down?"

Boss Pan asked with a friendly smile.

Officer Xu heaved a sigh and said mournfully, " Two middle school students went missing yesterday. Pan, you should keep a close watch on your son. He shouldn't be wandering about, especially not going to Evil Spirit Ridge."

Xiao Mu pricked up his ears and sighed in his heart.

After the world mutated, even the world of ordinary people was not peaceful.

As for Evil Spirit Ridge…

What kind of place is Evil Spirit Ridge?

The name alone did not sound good, could it be a gathering place for evil spirits?

After reaching the Fifth Realm, Xiao Mu already completely disregarded ordinary evil spirits.

Even if it is a ghost king of the Fifth Realm, he is not overly concerned.

Boss Pan first replied, "My son never wanders about."

Then, he asked curiously, "Officer Xu, you said two middle school students are missing? Did they go into Evil Spirit Ridge? Did they encounter something abnormal?"

Officer Xu sighed, "It was two hot-headed kids. They would often go into the mountains, fantasizing about finding mutated fruits, proclaiming themselves as heroes. Alas! They probably encountered something abnormal and couldn't come back."

"How much is it?"

Boss Pan quickly responded courteously, "No need to pay."

Officer Xu responded, "You also have a business to run, how could I not pay? No need for change."

He left thirty yuan on the counter.

"It's thirty-five, but never mind, you're a regular customer. Thirty is fine."

Boss Pan collected the thirty yuan.

"Haha!"

Officer Xu laughed, "I knew you, Pan, are reasonable. Actually, I only have thirty yuan on me. I will make up for the remaining five next time."

"No need."

Boss Pan laughed good-naturedly.

Xiao Mu was all ears to their conversation, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me what's going on at Evil Spirit Ridge?"

Boss Pan and Officer Xu simultaneously turned their heads to look at Xiao Mu.

Officer Xu sensed Xiao Mu's accent, "You are not from here, right? Evil Spirit Ridge is to the west, but I strongly advise you not to go there, that place is unclean. Once you go, you won't come back."

"Something unclean? Do you know what it is?"

Xiao Mu didn't care about what unclean things lurk there, if it came down to it, he didn't mind helping the people of Da Liang City clean up.

Unless it's a low-level absurdity, otherwise, he could get some energy points more or less.

The west is the same direction as the ancient ruins.

It could be a convenient detour.

Xiao Mu became interested.

"They say it's the Plague God."

Officer Xu himself was not sure, thus his answer was rather vague.

"Plague God?"

Xiao Mu was taken aback.

He is unsure whether the information provided by Officer Xu was true or false.

If it is false, it is easy to deal with, it could be because of a ghost.

But if it's really the Plague God, then it's not a normal kind of terror.

After entering the Fifth Realm, Xiao Mu had a clearer understanding of this world. He knew that the so-called evil spirits, even if they were at the Ghost King level, were at most Yin Spirits or Evil Spirits.

This kind of Yin or Evil Spirit level was still quite far from the Yin God.

Even the simplest of Yin God, the Earth Deities, also have Realm of True Reality, far superior to the so-called Ghost King or Zombie King.

"Are you sure? Is it a Plague God at the level of the True Realm?"

Surprised, Xiao Mu curiously asked.

A Yin God of the True Realm level has already entered the human world. Could it be one of those that came out of the Space Gate during the last task in the Realm of True Nothingness?

"What do you mean by True Realm?"

This time it was Officer Xu's turn to be confused. He didn't understand what Xiao Mu was saying, which made him more courteous in his speech.

Most ordinary people don't have a clear understanding of the levels of mutated beings.

Apart from those with access to highly classified information, most ordinary people would only know about the existence of the Fourth Realm at most.

For instance, Curse ghosts, corpse generals.

Very few knew about something higher such as the Ghost King or Zombie King, let alone the Yin God, who ranks above the Ghost King and Zombie King.

When Xiao Mu heard this, he knew he had asked in vain.

"What do you know about the Plague God at Evil Spirit Ridge?"

"Er... "

Officer Xu hesitated.

His knowledge of the Plague God at Evil Spirit Ridge was actually limited to what he had heard, he didn't have clear information.

"So you don't know. Never mind!"

Xiao Mu was slightly disappointed, didn't ask further, picked up the bag holding the roast chicken, and walked toward the door.

"Wait!"

Officer Xu hurried after him, and asked courteously, "Excuse me, are you a mutated being?"

"Do I look like one?"

Xiao Mu didn't answer, but instead responded with a smiled and a rhetorical question.

Officer Xu observed Xiao Mu for a moment, couldn't discern anything, and then cautiously warned, "Whether you are or not, I strongly advise you not to go to Evil Spirit Ridge. It's said that the evil creatures there are very fierce. There was a Fourth Realm mutated being who went there once, but never returned."

If a Fourth Realm mutated being can't come back alive, then the evil creature in Evil Spirit Ridge must be at least of the Fifth Realm?

Xiao Mu was thoughtful, then smiled and asked, "What about a Fifth Realm mutated being?"

"Fifth Realm?"

Officer Xu was stunned.

Xiao Mu felt amused, he asked again in a teasing tone, "Could a Fifth Realm mutated being come back alive?"
