Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 610 - 608: Battlefield

"This person named Mo Qi is very peculiar," Lan Yuyan advised Mo Lin.

Mo Qi sat on the ground, his gaze indifferent.

If Mo Lin appeared here without a scratch, attracting everyone's attention.

Then Mo Qi's appearance with the head of a demon made everyone present astonished.

Even Mo Lin was no exception.

One after another, people began to come out of the Evil Temple.

Among hundreds of people, only Mo Qi killed a demon.

Tang Yu did not hesitate to praise Mo Qi's prowess.

By nightfall, those who were supposed to come out had all done so.

Those who couldn't come out had died inside the Evil Temple.

About eighty people managed to survive and come out.

Two-thirds of them were severely injured.

Like Mo Lin, fewer than twenty people were unhurt.

Keep in mind, only ten were selected to participate in the Seasonal Coins.

Now with over eighty people, it means there will definitely be more competitions.

"Is there a second trial?" Mo Qi asked Tang Yu.

Tang Yu nodded and replied, "There will be a second trial.

The injured can choose to participate or not."

"What is the second trial?" A man curiously asked.

"The second trial is very special."

Tang Yu slowly stated, "The original plan was to take you to the Black Sea to hunt demons.

But now the plan has changed.

I will take you to the East District to eliminate the Evil Buddha.

Whether you get a chance for the Seasonal Coins depends on your performance at that time."

"Is it because the Evil Buddha in the East District is causing too much trouble that the higher-ups are alarmed?" Mo Qi questioned Tang Yu in doubt.

Actually, he already knew about the second trial.

And he knew it was going to be at the Black Sea.

The sudden change of plan must be due to the Evil Buddha causing chaos in the East District.

Someone at the top wants to use this trial to eliminate the Evil Buddha.

Tang Yu neither confirmed nor denied it.

It was obvious that Mo Qi's words were tacitly consented to.

The next step was to choose the time.

Those who wanted to continue the trial would follow Tang Yu.

Those worried about danger could choose to leave.

No one chose to leave at all.

They had experienced life and death and finally made it through the first trial.

Who would want to give up the second trial?

So Tang Yu took the crowd to the East District.

Although Luo Xiaoxiao was not participating in the trial, she also followed Mo Lin back to the East District.

The East District was a place Mo Lin was extremely familiar with.

Moreover, Mo Lin discovered something.

Entering the East District was particularly difficult.

Along the way, there were dozens of checkpoints.

Nowadays, no ordinary person could leave the East District.

Of course, by "everyone here," it means commoners, not some special people.

There is another way to leave the East District.

That is to take the path Mo Lin took last time, going to Jinghai first, then exiting the East District.

But this method is even more difficult; not everyone can tread on Jinghai.

Tang Yu was an exception.

His special status made it easy for him to bring Mo Lin and others into the East District.

Nowadays, the East District was less populated.

Tang Yu took Mo Lin and the others to Jin County.

Though it was daytime, Jin County was shrouded by thick clouds overhead.

From a distance, Jin County looked gloomy.

This place was extremely familiar to Mo Lin.

After all, he obtained the Qin King's Sword here.

The air was filled with a suffocating atmosphere; black clouds hung in the sky, resembling the scene before a summer downpour.

Everyone present was aware that this was not a scene indicating rain; it was an anomaly.

The eighty-something people looked serious.

This was a trial for the Seasonal Coins, definitely dangerous.

Tang Yu took out a Talisman, speaking to it.

"We've arrived, what's the next step?"

A sharp voice suddenly came from the Talisman.

"Leave it now; in thirty minutes, Jin County will become a battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu looked serious and addressed everyone: "Those who survive the battlefield will earn a spot for the Seasonal Coins."

There aren't many spots for the Seasonal Coins; Tang Yu knew, out of these eighty-some people, undoubtedly many wouldn't survive.

This wasn't a small skirmish; this place was designated as a battlefield.

It definitely means that the higher-ups are declaring war on the Evil Buddha, using Jin County as the battlefield.

The outcome surely involves stakes, though it's unclear what they are.

"Talking about trial spots, aren't they just using us as tools?" A man in black discontentedly reprimanded.

"It's not worth risking your life for a spot in the Seasonal Coins; I'm opting out," another person stood up and asserted.

Initially, he thought it was a trial for everyone to unite and destroy the Evil Buddha.

Unexpectedly, it was a battlefield.

What does a battlefield mean?

Only win or lose, to die or to live.

A hopeful trial has people strive.

Knowing you'll die yet participating, isn't that suicidal?

Everyone who survived thus far wasn't foolish.

Having strength is one thing, sending oneself to die is another.

Despite the desire to participate in the Seasonal Coins, survival is a prerequisite.

"I won't participate either."

"I'm opting out too."

"Are we just cannon fodder? I'm opting out too."

"Who doesn't know the Evil Buddha in the East District is the most troublesome? I'm opting out too."

Gradually, people started to stand up, declaring their withdrawal from this trial.

Yet, some remained silent, like Mo Qi, the white-clad man who previously massacred the Evil Buddha.

He displayed a resolute expression, showing no intentions of backing down.

Similarly, Lan Yuyan did not propose quitting the trial.

She was here solely for the Seasonal Coins; even if it meant dying, she'd die here.

Likewise, Mo Lin remained silent.

"The trial has started; you can't opt out," Tang Yu, with an icy countenance, decisively rejected everyone's request to leave the battlefield.

"Nobody can stop me from leaving," a strong-willed man stepped forward, decidedly preparing to leave.

Just as he was about to depart, a burst of golden light erupted from the ground.

The golden light surged skywards, enveloping Mo Lin and the others within its glow.

The golden light was like a barrier, trapping Mo Lin and the others inside.

The man who previously clamored to leave exerted his power, attempting to break the golden barrier; his Immortal Qi fell upon the barrier like a stone sinking in a swamp, not causing the slightest ripple.

His face turned ashen; he knew that participating in this trial was unavoidable.

Subsequently, others also attempted to penetrate the barrier in vain, failing to leave this place.

"Instead of wasting energy trying to escape, think about how to survive the battle against the Evil Buddha," Mo Qi reminded those attempting to leave.

Upon hearing his words, the group took a deep breath, gave up their struggle, and awaited the upcoming battle against the Evil Buddha.

Mo Lin glanced around; this seemed to be the so-called battlefield area.

Moreover, only those like Mo Lin who were participating in the trial were trapped inside the golden barrier.

For example, Luo Xiaoxiao, who wasn't a trial participant, was not restrained and easily left the golden barrier.

"Buzz... Buzz... Buzz..."

A piercing Buddha's voice began to sound out of nowhere.
