Demons, devils, ghosts and monsters Plunge the mortals weak in horrors; Arms of gods and blades of devils, Shroud the world in untold evils. Lu Sheng was an ordinary civil servant in the modern world. After waking from a drunken stupor one day, he found himself trapped in a dangerous world where demons, ghosts and supernatural monsters terrorize the land. In this world, ordinary mortals live in dark fear and helplessness, without any means to fight against the supernatural. As Lu Sheng struggles desperately for survival, he stumbles upon a game mod he had designed for a mobile phone app in his previous life. It unexpectedly becomes his special ability, which enables him to instantly level up any skill he learns, albeit at a cost. Thus, Lu Sheng begins his journey, striving for power beyond the reach of a mortal as he treads the way of the Devil…
"Elder Zhang, permit me." Lu Sheng took a step forward.
"Thump."
But, Zhang Shilong blocked him abruptly.
"It's okay. I know who he is now. I'll do it." He lifted his head and looked at Yuan Yingxiao.
Even though he passed through Moling City quite often, there weren't a lot of people who could call out his identity and name. Plus, his last name was Yuan, so that decreased the number of people he could be by another amount.
"Since Chief Yuan is unwilling to respect me, then do as you please," he responded. Obviously, he didn't want to get into this mess anymore. He grabbed Lu Sheng and stood to the side to watch.
Yuan Yingxiao chuckled and cupped his fists at Zhang Shilong. He then ordered his subordinates to question and inspect everyone on board.
First the sailors, then the manager, the lookout, and the helmsman. The ship owner and merchants were the last.
