Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Black Sun Church Mass!

Translator: 549690339

Early the next morning, everyone first had breakfast before they started their respective activities.

They agreed to gather for the dungeon exploration at ten o’clock. Zheng Cheng left the hotel alone and headed to the Professionists’ Guild branch in Weihe Town.

“What? All the swords and other blade weapons are sold out!”

Hearing the explanation from the beautiful missy who worked as the receptionist at the branch’s weapon division, Zheng Cheng’s eyes widened in disbelief.

The receptionist lady was embarrassed as she said, “Yes, sir, a group of people came yesterday and bought all of our weapons in the entire Weihe Town branch. Maybe you should try looking elsewhere?”

“Who bought them?”

“Well…” The receptionist lady looked embarrassed, “I’m sorry sir, but we need to keep our customer’s information confidential…”

Zheng Cheng quickly slipped a hundred bucks into her hand, and then she immediately whispered, “They seemed like a group of students, all young and not professionists…”

“None of them are Professionists? Ordinary people?”

“Yes.”

The receptionist gave a nod, “Sir, you…”

“Never mind, I’ll look somewhere else…”

After leaving the Professionists’ Guild, Zheng Cheng turned towards the neighboring auction house.

Similarly, the auction house was out of weapons too.

At the earliest, he would have to wait for three days for new stock to arrive.

“Three days from now?”

Zheng Cheng was shocked, “Why so long?”

“The Wei River Bridge has collapsed.”

The auction house proprietor shrugged, “A storm hit the upstream Wei River yesterday and the water level surged suddenly in the afternoon, washing away the bridge.”

“A group of fish monsters has appeared in the river, and the Professionist Guild and the Military Department have offered rewards for professionists to go and deal with it.”

“It’d take at least three days to clear the fish monsters. Plus, half a day to repair the bridge…”

“I see…”

Zheng Cheng furrowed his brow, when they got here yesterday morning, the bridge was fine. How did it collapse?

And there is a group of fish monsters in the river?

The so-called fish monsters are demonic creatures that lurk in rivers, lakes, and seas.

Most of them take on the form of fish, shrimp, turtles, and frogs, among other aquatic beings.

Among them, there are the most fish.

Inland fish monsters usually range from LV5-LV30.

The larger the lake or river, the higher the level of the fish monster.

It was rumored that legendary fish monsters above LV90 had been sighted at the seaside!

Just one such legendary fish monster landing in a coastal city could cause a horrifying disaster, leading to tens of thousands of casualties!

When fish monsters caused tsunamis, they would bring a large number of other fish monsters with them, making it even more terrifying!

Such tsunamis are even more fierce than the beast tides in inland cities.

“There are no weapons in the town, should I go to the military? Or should I go find the Night Watch…”

Zheng Cheng walked back towards the hotel along with the crowd.

Along the way, he heard several people discussing news of the Wei River blockade and its resultant shortages.

However, not many of them seemed panicked.

After all, Weihe Town isn’t far from Chang’an City, it’s just over an hour’s drive.

“Huh?”

Zheng Cheng suddenly paused as he noticed a group of people emerging from the pharmacy, carrying all sorts of parcels. He recognized one of them: Song Chaoyu!

So she really is in Weihe Town?

Who’s with her?

They don’t seem to be students from No.12 Middle School. After some thought, he called out, “Song Chaoyu!”

“Song Chaoyu!”

Song Chaoyu heard Zheng Cheng’s voice and turned around to greet him, but she was pulled back by one of the men in black beside her.

“Zheng Cheng…”

“Something fishy? Was she kidnapped?”

Zheng Cheng’s eyebrow furrowed and he quickly gave chase.

“Stop! Who are you guys!”

After all, Zheng Cheng was a professionist and the others were just ordinary people, so he quickly caught up with them.

Including Song Chaoyu, there were four of them in total.

Two males and two females, all of them looked quite young.

The two guys carried stuffed schoolbags.

Song Chaoyu and another middle-aged woman also carried large and small parcels.

All were various kinds of medicine.

“Zheng Cheng…”

Song Chaoyu looked anxious. As she was about to speak, the middle-aged woman next to her pulled her back and said with a fake smile, “Excuse me, young man, why are you stopping us?”

“Who are you guys? What are you doing with her?”

“I’m Song Chaoyu’s aunt, we’re here on a vacation, is there a problem?”

“Aunt?”

Zheng Cheng sounded skeptical as he examined the group, a frown appearing on his forehead.

All four of them, including Song Chaoyu, were ordinary people and not professionists. Their clothing and appearances differed greatly.

However, his eyes settled onto a common factor among the group. All four of them, including Song Chaoyu, had a name tag hanging around their necks.

A black spherical name tag with unique patterns inscribed on its surface.

Zheng Cheng had no interest in wasting words with these people and with a wave of his hand, the Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique was cast on the three strangers.

“If the young man has nothing else to ask…”

“Ugh…

The middle-aged woman’s face suddenly changed, and she instinctively clutched her belly.

The two young men’s faces turned red as they turned and ran.

“You guys keep an eye on her, I…blegh!”

“Blegh, blegh-!”

In the busy streets, all three fell ill immediately.

Running and vomiting at the same time.

The middle-aged woman was experienced enough to find a trash can in a corner to use.

However, the two young men weren’t as lucky, they were hoping to find a public restroom.

They didn’t get far before collapsing to the ground, their book bags covering their heads as they screamed in agony.

“You, Zheng Cheng, this, this…”

Song Chaoyu stammered, unable to form coherent sentences.

She had seen Zheng Cheng’s abilities before.

On the day of their professionist awakening, they had an encounter with Liang Feifan from Class Two who was taken down by Zheng Cheng’s Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique.

To this day, it’s still a joke in the entire school!

Many students were discussing it in private.

Zheng Cheng took Song Chaoyu by the arm, “Let’s go, the school’s teachers are at the hotel. If you have any trouble…”

Song Chaoyu blushed, but she still struggled to stay behind.

“Zheng Cheng, I, I can’t go with you!”

“What on earth is going on? Who are those people?”

Zheng Cheng asked curiously, “Did you guys buy all the weapons in Weihe

Town? And all these medicines today…”

Song Chaoyu turned pale but still managed to explain, “Zheng Cheng! Can I ask a favor from you?”

“Just say it, after all, we are classmates…”

Song Chaoyu bit her lips and said, “Here’s the thing, after my failed professionist awakening, my mother was desperate and was convinced by a neighbor to join a group called the ‘Black Sun Church.’

“This group claims to have the ability to allow ordinary people to become professionists!”

Soon, Zheng Cheng understood the whole situation.

“You’re saying your mother also dragged you into the Black Sun Church.”

“These two days, you’ve been performing mass in the Black Sun Church in Weihe Town.”

“Starting from yesterday, they began purchasing weapons and potions, saying they’re preparing for a grand ‘sacrifice’?”

“Or should I say, a… ceremony to welcome a god?”

“They, plan to perform the god-welcoming ceremony in Weihe Town! But what about the sacrificial offerings?”

“Welcome God… the god they are welcoming is what? And where?”

Zheng Cheng’s mind was racing, and he quickly made a connection, “The fish monsters in Wei River, is this the work of the Black Sun Church? And the Weir River bridge…”

“As for the sacrificial offerings… all the people in Weihe Town?”

“How is that possible!”
