"Why... has a book of salvation not been widely disseminated, but rather scattered?"

Zhong Shenxiu voiced his confusion.

"I don’t know; this is also a historical mystery."

Rachel responded cheerily, feeling it was inevitable.

The ruins of those cities and settlements were treasures waiting to be found.

And they, the scavengers, were there to unearth those treasures.

This was her worldview, which, considering the environment she grew up in, was not at all surprising.

"Yes... the fog of history."

Shenxiu nodded and sighed, "Lesser servant... I’ve heard this description used for tentacle worms..."

"Yes, the fare you took out for the ride was an eye of the tentacle worm, an organ of a lesser servant. Tentacle worms actually have eyes, just hidden inside their bodies... Well, they are relatively weak, but they usually swarm, and we really don’t want to encounter a surge of them... So it’s quite rare."

Rachel answered in this way.

"The upper part of ’The Original Text’ is about collective content, while the lower part deals with individual cultivation, a system for personal transcendence..."

Zhong Shenxiu had his own interpretation, and couldn’t help but become curious about the power systems of this world, "So... how does one use and assimilate monster organs to enhance oneself?"

"You want to become a monster?"

Rachel’s eyes suddenly took on a strange look, "In my view, even if you were to attach a mechanical arm, that would be better than becoming a ’Demon Hunter’..."

’From your tone, I feel that this extraordinary system’s ’Demon Hunter’ isn’t something good, almost on par with the monsters...’

Shenxiu sighed, suddenly thinking of those mutants.

Given the common trait of contamination that they shared, the source of their pollution might be the same, and... incredibly powerful.

Full of corruption, odd authority, and its status infinitely close to the Evil God, or perhaps it was the Evil God!

And digesting and using such contaminated organs would inevitably bring about extreme pollution and changes in spirit.

’Thus, ’Demon Hunter’ equates to monster, equates to a mutant with remaining rationality; this could actually be understood... It’s just that, I feel as if I’ve forgotten some content about this, as I should know more about the Evil God...’

Zhong Shenxiu clutched his head, feeling an urge to curse his original self, but he refrained.

Obviously, he wouldn’t harm himself, so these measures must be beneficial to him.

’I came to this world, presumably for a transcendental tribulation... Besides, I need to elevate myself, to comprehend the mysteries of different transcendental systems... Moreover, to make ’me’ increasingly powerful and significant, not to be easily discarded... Yes, I still wish to return through the Gate of Ten Thousand Doors, not by suicide.’

"’Demon Hunters’ are not strong?" Thinking this, Shenxiu deliberately asked.

"The high-level ’Demon Hunters’ I don’t know, but the average ones? Although they’re a bit stronger than ordinary people, they’re like ticking time bombs... And even the strongest among them is not as good as our warriors in powered Mecha."

Rachel’s eyes seemed to sparkle with tiny stars, "I want to become a Mechanical Master, a warrior controlling Mecha. If not, at least to marry one."

"So... Is Zola a..."

Shenxiu suddenly recalled the woman who had leaped from the steel fortress tens of meters high, "Is she a ’Demon Hunter’?"

"Hmph, our captain is certainly not one. We merely utilize various kinetic three-dimensional apparatuses as assistance..."

Rachel patted the claw on her wrist and a gear, piston, and bearing contraption on her waist, "It provides ordinary people with superhuman jumping ability, fits various dangerous environments, allowing us to match ’Demon Hunters’... If not for the presence of spirit pollutants, Sky City would not even allow people to become ’Demon Hunters’!"

"This feels like discrimination to death..."

Zhong Shenxiu was inwardly speechless. "Has the technological power of this world become so overwhelming that it can crush ordinary mysterious forces?"

Whether it’s technology or mystery, as long as it brings strength, it’s progress and will be esteemed and chosen!

That’s the truth!

"It feels pretty tricky, better wait and see..."

Zhong Shenxiu sighed and said, "I’m just curious about the Demon Hunter content in the latter half of ’The Canon’... With all the machinery from the first half, why do we still need to become Demon Hunters?"

"I think so too, the first half of ’The Canon’ is a treasure, worth obtaining at any cost, while the second half... It’s mainly about the classification and detailed introduction of monsters, which is relatively valuable."

Rachel nodded repeatedly, obviously in strong agreement.

...

Time flew by, and another half-month passed.

Relying on the formidable defense of the iron fortress, and perhaps because the monsters encountered on this plain weren’t very strong, Zhong Shenxiu had enough time to rest and recover from his previous exhaustion and contamination.

During that time, he also grew more familiar with the people on the war vehicle.

He even met Mr. Mengde, the overall commander of this scavenging team.

Mengde was a sturdy man in his forties, tall and plainly dressed, with a firm face and a golden beard.

Moreover, he was an excellent Mechanical Master and apparently the object of Rachel’s secret crush.

Well, that last point was something Zhong Shenxiu figured out on his own.

He had to admit that in this post-apocalyptic world, a man with personal charisma and strong military capabilities was indeed very popular among the ladies.

Boom!

As Zhong Shenxiu was lost in thought, he heard the roar of the cannon, and the entire steel fortress seemed to tremble slightly.

"Hey, get ready to go out and work!"

Zola, carrying a hefty multifunctional shovel, tossed a pair of protective goggles at Zhong Shenxiu. "Remember to wear these, otherwise if you get contaminated again and have no valuable items to exchange for the ’blood remedy’ treatment, we’ll just have to leave you behind."

"Thank you..."

Zhong Shenxiu, not having formally joined Sky City yet, was seen as an affiliated laborer in Zola’s Team, responsible only for doing the heavy lifting.

In contrast, even Rachel had nearly accumulated a complete set of the ’Third Generation Three-dimensional Mobile Sub-type Device,’ with a role designated as a combat-ready warrior.

Zhong Shenxiu put on the protective goggles, which were said to effectively block the spiritual contamination of servant-class monsters, and followed Zola and others out of the steel fortress.

The huge fortress finally came to a halt beside a lake for repairs.

Around the war vehicle, a group of ragged, bizarre-looking vagabonds had already gathered.

As Zhong Shenxiu stepped out, he heard someone pleading, "Please, good sir, let us join... We can do anything."

"No way, Demon Hunters!"

A young man, tall and burly, scoffed. "We don’t welcome monsters!"
