Chapter 375 The Devil’s Land
【The Devil's Land】
[Danger Level: S]
[Containment Difficulty: 5]
【Abnormal phenomena rules:
There is no obvious pattern in the time of occurrence, but the strange phenomena occur at an interval of at least ten years. Creatures and buildings in certain areas around the world will be drawn into a mysterious area. According to data summary, islands such as the Molten Iron City, Dragon Island, Magic Kingdom, Atlantis, and Ice Island have a higher chance of entering this area than other areas.
The reason may be that these islands have a religious atmosphere that cannot be matched by ordinary islands.
After entering this area, some alien creatures will appear and announce the survival rules in this area to all entrants. Those who violate the rules will be punished in some way, and currently no one is immune to this punishment.
Also, due to special reasons, people with strong religious beliefs will gain certain advantages in the survival rules of this field. Alien creatures may provide believers with some special props, and after using the props, they can often gain almost weird abilities, which often change the personality and will of the user.
In terms of the chance of survival, the number of people who survive from this area is always fixed. No matter how many people are pulled into the area, there are only thirteen people who survive in the end.
…
Special phenomenon:
1. When encountering alien creatures, launching an attack will lead to counterattacks from the alien creatures. There are huge differences in the strength levels between alien creatures. According to investigations, there have been cases where A-level psychics have killed alien creatures, and there have also been cases where two S-level psychics who had been strengthened by various props joined forces to attack, but ultimately failed and died.
The actual benefits of killing alien creatures have not yet been clearly investigated. There are only 21 cases in total, 7 of which were killed before the alien creatures began to explain the rules. Under the premise of unknown rules, the survivors are not bound by any rules.
Therefore, it can be inferred that killing alien creatures can free one from the constraints of the rules within a special field.
2. After killing an alien creature, a second alien creature will appear within a week or so and explain the rules to the survivors. The previous killing will not incur the hatred of the new alien creature.
3. Once entering this area, all food cannot provide nutrition to the survivors, and only the food provided by alien creatures can provide nutrition.
4. Most of the rules announced by the alien creatures are designed to reflect negative human emotions , for example:
Case 1: They will provide food for survival in limited quantities. The rule is that the survivors are divided into groups, one of them gives self-abuse instructions to another, and the food is distributed based on the self-abuse instructions followed by the other person and the cruelty of the self-abuse instructions issued by others.

Su Ming quickly read the intelligence. Although this [Devil's Land] is at the S-level of danger, there is very little information about this strange phenomenon.
Of course, this is just a small part of the surface. Su Ming is a person who can see hidden files, and he can see more information.
Su Ming clicked on the hidden file in his mind. There were more than a hundred catalogues in the file. He opened one at random, and it contained interviews, investigations, and research on the survivors. If nothing unexpected happened, the rest would be there too.
It's a lot of content, but you have to finish reading it as soon as possible. When fighting against monsters, all the information you can get is the key to escaping danger.
Besides, how many people know this information ? What does this young investigator beside me know about the devil's land?
Are there really only 13 people who can survive? If there are really only 13 people, what should we do?
"Mr. Zhou, do you know where this place ?" Su Ming asked.
Zhou Xiaoxiao pushed up her glasses and shook her head: "Just call me by my name. We will be together here for a long time. Identity will eventually collapse and be destroyed. I will also call you Xia Ming."
"Calling you Zhou Xiaoxiao? That's awkward."
"You can also call me Xiao Zhou or Ah Xiao, whatever is fine."
"Okay, then Lao Zhou, Xiao Zhou sounds like I'm your boss. Lao Zhou, how much do you know about this place?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao frowned. He was still very young, only 28 years old.
"I don't know much. I only know that it is easier for people with faith to survive here. But I heard from a senior that the nobles in the royal city know the specific situation here, but if those things were made public, it would destroy the foundation of this country, so they have never been made public."
It's true.
It also echoes the reality.
Indeed, just by looking at the system data, one can feel that this strange phenomenon is extremely anti-human.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
There was a violent vibration under their feet, and Zhou Xiaoxiao and Su Ming's faces changed. Elton next to them and the frightened servants in the manor all looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Then, a giant creature appeared in front of everyone.
It was a creature that looked like a frame, with eight elephant-like legs. On top of the eight legs, which were as thick as pillars, there was a round meat bag on its head. The meat bag was covered with densely packed eyes and some dark holes. It was about five meters tall, and when it walked, it walked like a moving hill.
When the people in the manor saw the monster, they all screamed in fear. The old housekeeper beside Su Ming was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. The old man's excretion system, which was not very reliable to begin with, broke down after being frightened, and the smell of urine filled the air.
Zhou Xiaoxiao opened his mouth wide and stared at the strange creature, shouting in his heart to calm down. After more than ten seconds, he took a deep breath and finally regained his normal thinking.
He turned his head to look at Su Ming beside him and found that Su Ming's brows were slightly frowned, staring at the huge monster thoughtfully. He looked... very calm?
"Come here everyone... gather." A deep male voice came out from the dark hole in the meat ball and echoed throughout the entire manor.
"Everyone come...assemble."
The alien creature made another sound, but this did not calm the servants. The women were still screaming, but the men did not make a sound. They just stared at the huge creature, not knowing what to do.
Screams echoed all around. Su Ming sighed, took a step forward, and shouted, "Everyone be quiet!"
"Quiet! Be quiet!" Su Ming shouted loudly several times in a row, deliberately making his voice full of anger.
Just as he expected, his roar successfully intimidated the others. The panicked people around him gradually stopped screaming and their eyes were focused on Su Ming.
"Everyone come...assemble."
The alien creature repeated it again, and this time it no longer cared about Su Ming and the others. It moved its eight legs and walked out of the manor. It crashed straight into the wall and moved slowly like a moving fortress.
Su Ming stared at the monster, pulled up the old butler who was lying on the ground beside him, and ordered: "Gather everyone and follow it."
"But, but sir!"
"If you want to live, listen to me." Su Ming said, "Go quickly."
The housekeeper stared at Su Ming's calm face, gritted his teeth, turned around and ran into the house.
"You and I follow first." Su Ming turned and said to Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded, and the two of them followed closely behind the eight-legged meat ball monster.
