A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 356 Contaminated Elements

While Lorrina was vomiting uncontrollably, Jiang Shuzhou sensed something; he felt that his strength seemed to have increased slightly.

The strength has returned, but not by much.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Shuzhou was taken aback, and suddenly understood something.

No wonder the more sins one commits, the stronger one becomes.

If you use your soul to perceive, you can see that there are scattered small black dots all around.

Those are elements contaminated by the abyss.

Although the level of pollution is not deep, it is enough to affect the material world.

Therefore, the crime rate in this world must be very high, and there are probably quite a few crazy people among them.

However, this will at most cause subtle changes, making people more prone to impulsive crimes and potentially leading to psychological distortion.

It won't cause any other effects, at least not distortion. And because of the influence of the abyss, these elements will be more inclined to favor people of the evil camp, so they will spontaneously integrate into those people's bodies, improving their physical fitness to a certain extent.

The elemental concentration here is not very high; theoretically, it is far from sufficient to give birth to higher-order elements.

Perhaps, the answer lies in hell.

Unfortunately, Sidney was killed before he could even gather any intelligence after going down there, which was quite embarrassing.

However, to prevent a situation like Sidney's, where he becomes a little stronger after going to hell, Jiang Shuzhou plans to cause some trouble up there first, and then go down to wreak havoc on people—no, on demons.

"Remember what you promised me, don't forget it."

Jiang Shuzhou watched as Luo Lina finished vomiting and kindly reminded her.

"We'll see you in a few days. You can deal with the body yourself."

Jiang Shuzhou didn't have time to fool around with Lorina. Time was tight and the mission was heavy, so he planned to hunt down those who had fallen into darkness first.

He wanted to become a serial killer, specializing in killing serial killers.

"where are you going?"

"Lorena asked."

Are you sure you want to know?

Lorrina snapped out of her daze and realized what question she had asked, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Jiang Shuzhou didn't say anything.

Jiang Shuzhou found a car parked on the side of the road, smashed the window, short-circuited the circuit, and then drove off with Denuozhi in tow.

That looks like my car, doesn't it?

Lorrina then remembered, but she didn't dare to chase after him or call the police. She was lucky to have gotten rid of him.

But what about identification documents?

It wasn't that she lacked the ability to do it, but rather that she simply didn't know the other person's full name.

However, after thinking about it, Lorina gave up the idea of ​​directly asking Jiang Shuzhou.

Just make one randomly; the other person doesn't seem to care much.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Okay, welcome back, let's continue."

The car radio started broadcasting.

"The crime rate has surged again, but according to the latest news, on the morning of June 5, which is two months from now, Parliament will vote on a special bill. It's just unknown what the contents of the bill are."

"However, according to sources, the contents are quite explosive, and if implemented, they could greatly reduce the crime rate."

"I can't wait!"

Jiang Shuzhou listened to the broadcast with disdain. The crime rate here couldn't be changed by a single bill, and he didn't believe the bill would be useful.

It doesn't matter, though. When Jiang Shuzhou takes control of this area, he'll find a way to reduce the crime rate.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou couldn't guarantee how many people would die if harsh measures were used in chaotic times.

Jiang Shuzhou raised his hand, preparing to shift gears and speed off, and then he touched Denuozhi's thigh.

As if he had no teacher, when De Nuozhi saw Jiang Shuzhou reach out, he immediately stretched out his leg for Jiang Shuzhou to touch.

Jiang Shuzhou's face darkened, and he pushed Denuozhi's leg aside.

"I'm driving, what are you doing?"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou shifted into gear and sped off.

Although he didn't have a driver's license and had never driven before, it didn't matter. Jiang Shuzhou had read Lorrina's memories, and she knew how to drive.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou is unlikely to abide by traffic rules, nor will he care about speed limits.

Ignore the speed limit and floor the accelerator, just go for it.

Jiang Shuzhou, relying on his quick reaction time, completely disregarded the speed limit.

With his superb driving skills, Jiang Shuzhou shook off the traffic police and drove directly into the city.

Prosperity, extravagance, and decadence—this is the first impression this city gives.

On the brightly lit streets, drunkards and drug addicts can be seen everywhere, and there are even some shady transactions.

This place truly lives up to its reputation as a land of depravity; it's an eye-opener.

Although Jiang Shuzhou spotted several serial killers at a glance, he didn't plan to act on behalf of Heaven today, mainly because he had just arrived and his body wasn't as strong as before.

He needs to eat and sleep again, so we'll have to wait.

However, Jiang Shuzhou also marked and memorized the appearances of these people, preparing to deal with them later.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

The voice of the hotel receptionist came through.

"Book a deluxe double room."

Jiang Shuzhou said, while throwing out a wad of banknotes.

"Your ID document..."

"It's lost, so just tell me if it can be opened?"

Jiang Shuzhou interrupted the receptionist directly.

"Yes, of course it is possible."

The receptionist initially wanted to say no, but Jiang Shuzhou persuaded her with money.

Although this is somewhat against the rules, it is well known that rules are meant to be broken.

Perhaps, these two simply didn't want to leave a record of their hotel stay.

With that in mind, the front desk quickly booked a room for Jiang Shuzhou.

"Room number is 221B, here is your room key."

We hope you have a pleasant stay.

The receptionist greeted her with a beaming smile and a sweet voice.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou pursed his lips, having no hope whatsoever.

After all, this is not a good place.

Not long ago, Jiang Shuzhou had already figured out the specific situation here.

This is Kent, in the Ovima region of the Colozia Federation. The city is said to have been founded by a man named Kent, but that was a long time ago.

The current Federal Republic of Kolozia is like the legendary Antichrist has descended to earth, with soaring crime rates, persistently high unemployment, and various terrorist activities occurring daily.

Heroes from all walks of life gathered here for this grand event, making it a truly dazzling occasion.

This is the moment for Jiang Shuzhou to step in. He wants to uphold justice, because killing people indiscriminately is not in line with Jiang Shuzhou's own morality.

However, if the other party is not human and does inhuman things, then it's a different story.

"Let's go, get some rest, we have to get back to work tomorrow."

Jiang Shuzhou pulled Denuozhi upstairs.

Upon opening the door, Jiang Shuzhou's first action was to check for listening devices and cameras.

Fortunately, after careful investigation, Jiang Shuzhou only found one.

Even so, Jiang Shuzhou was still very dissatisfied.

Did I pay you to secretly film me?

This hotel will be a hit tomorrow, and Jiang Shuzhou keeps his word.
