"The situation is not good. No matter which path we take, there will be bloodshed."

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the Palace Master with a solemn expression.

In the predictions of astrology, bloodshed represents a life-threatening danger, the highest level of crisis.

If it is shrouded in dark clouds, there will be a risk of injury, but no life-threatening danger.

"This is a Dominator-level rule-based item. It's normal to have life-threatening dangers." The Palace Master's voice was soft and pleasant, and very calm. There was no hint of gravity. She pointed to the path leading to "No Entry", "Footprints lead this way. We have to take this path."

"I know, I know..." Zhang Yuanqing replied repeatedly, raising his head and looking at the deep night sky, saying, "Let me observe the stars. The great starry sky will give us guidance."

Among all professions, there are three types of skills that predict the future: divination, prophecy, and astrology.

Among them, divination can only predict good or bad luck, without any details.

Prophecy directly obtains a specific result, but without any cause or effect.

Astrology is the strongest. It can not only measure good or bad luck, but also peep into fate (future picture fragments) and the evolution of all things.

Zhang Yuanqing's current level cannot achieve the evolution of all things.

Mysterious and dazzling starlight appeared in his eyes. He saw stars all over the sky dotted in the black velvet-like night sky. However, the stars, which should have been clear and bright, were now covered with a layer of shadow.

It was like someone with 500 degrees of nearsightedness looking up at the stars, only seeing starlight in the sky, and not being able to see the stars at all.

The zoo restricts my astrology. Tsk, rule-based roads are troublesome. Zhang Yuanqing's palm sank, and the Da Luo Star Disk appeared. Instantly, the blurred Milky Way became clearer.

But it was only a little clearer, far from meeting the standard of astrology.

"My astrology is restricted," Zhang Yuanqing shook his head regretfully, "I can't see the future pictures. The cheat is blocked."

"Then use your brain, don't always think about cheating!" The Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter had a melodious voice. "Remember the famous saying for cracking rule-based items?"

"All rules have loopholes," Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously replied, and then remembered something, "But that's not right. Xie's Sheng Ying doesn't seem to have any loopholes."

Although staying away from the Holy Infant and away from the crying will make the belly disappear, running away is obviously not a loophole in the item. "Who says there aren't any? Cracking the Holy Infant's crying is very simple," the Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter said with a smile, "Just give him a pacifier. If there's no pacifier, a finger will do. In short, block the Holy Infant's mouth to crack its crying."

"This, this... unexpectedly simple." Zhang Yuanqing found it incredible, but also enlightened.

"What's so difficult about coaxing a child?" The Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter said indifferently, then brought the topic back to the main point, "To find the loopholes in the rules, you must first master the rules. Two methods: one, use human lives to fill it. Didn't you bring zombies? Summon them out. Two, actively look for rules. My suggestion is to go to the staff lounge."

Zhang Yuanqing took out Little Red Riding Hood while humbly asking for advice, "Why the staff lounge?"

The Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter was a Spirit Adventurer with deep qualifications, and a Dominator-level at that, more familiar with this kind of high-level rule-based item than him.

"Based on the phenomena observed in the outer area, the information we can obtain is limited to road signs, but this is obviously not enough for us to understand the rules of the zoo. Then we can only use the lives of the zombies to try and fail. If it's really your dad's item, then back then, your dad must have used his subordinates and spiritual servants to try and fail, gradually cracking the rules inside the zoo." The Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter gently waved her long sleeves like a performer on stage, casually saying, "But your foundation is far from reaching your dad's level. You finally gathered two Level 6 zombies, you don't want them to be lost here, do you?"

Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

The Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter raised her hand, pointing towards the direction of the "staff lounge" with a graceful gesture: "Theoretically speaking, humans are the creatures most fond of leaving traces... Staff members who work in the zoo will definitely leave some work records, dates, and so on, right? This is the information we need."

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly flattered her, "Sister is so smart. Whoever can marry sister in the future, that's a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes."

The Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter put her arm around his neck, smiling sweetly, "Then marry me."

The eyes under the silver mask were moist and radiant, like shining pearls in the dark night.

"Palace Master, we are in a dangerous situation now. This is not a matter of romance." Zhang Yuanqing held her shoulders, gently pushed her away, and shook the Little Red Riding Hood in his hand.

Four figures fell out of the void. They were the Four Vajras of "Return of the Dead."

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while, and then took back Hundred-Man Slayer and Greedy God General.

With him and the Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter, there was no shortage of combat power. The zombies' role was more to be used as cannon fodder and to step on landmines.

In that case, he definitely couldn't let Hundred-Man Slayer and Greedy God General step on landmines. Blood Rose was very good. From the moment she put on the Little Red Riding Hood, she was a discarded pawn.

It's just a bit of a pity, after all, this zombie was surprisingly beautiful.

As for Princess Yin Yao, she was a companion, not a zombie.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Yuanqing took the lead and walked towards the "staff lounge," but the Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter stopped him and smiled, "Little Saint, don't steal the show from me. Stay behind me."

After saying that, she walked gracefully along the path.

The path was lined with bushes on both sides, and behind the bushes were large patches of plants. There was a street lamp every fifteen meters, dimly lit, with the lighting brightness limited to a circle projected on the ground.

It was quiet all around. The footsteps of the four people spread in the dark night, becoming more and more lonely and terrifying.

After walking for about ten minutes, a small building appeared ahead. It was a red-tiled, gray-walled apartment-style building with two floors, each with seven rooms.

The small building stood quietly in the darkness, with black windows. What was even stranger was that there wasn't even a street lamp around the house where people lived.

As a result, the small building and its surroundings were completely dark.

Coupled with the lush vegetation nearby, it gave the feeling of encountering a dark, abandoned small building in a deep mountain forest.

"It's clearly a rule-based item of the Wood Deity profession, how does it feel even more eerie than a Night Wanderer's spiritual dungeon?"

Zhang Yuanqing whispered.

"Don't you think this is very interesting?" the Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter smiled sweetly, "Treat this as a date. We came to the cinema, bought two tickets for a horror movie, and there will definitely be terrifying and thrilling scenes later. I can scream and lean into your arms, let you take advantage of me, or, you lean into my arms?"

Has your mental illness really gotten better? I feel like you're still crazy... Zhang Yuanqing slandered in his heart, but the tense and solemn mood was indeed diluted a lot.

Princess Yin Yao glanced at the Palace Master, then glanced at Zhang Yuanqing, and silently raised her small loudspeaker, whispering, "Yuanshi Tianzun, how many confidantes do you have?"

Although what came from the loudspeaker was whispering, everyone heard it.

The Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter examined the beautiful zombie, frowned, and said, "Why does a zombie need to preserve its spiritual intelligence, little pretty boy? I'll clean it up for you."

This is someone who doesn't follow harem rules... Princess Yin Yao silently put down the small loudspeaker and stopped talking, pretending to be a brainless zombie.

"Let's go in and take a look, don't waste time. If we delay any longer, Elder Gou will be back."

Zhang Yuanqing reached out and grabbed the small hand of the Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter, leading her towards the small building.

The crazy Palace Master immediately forgot about Princess Yin Yao, happily and cheerfully followed Zhang Yuanqing into the small building.

"Squeak~"

Zhang Yuanqing came to the door of the first room on the left, reached out his palm, it wasn't locked, and gently pushed it open.

The room was pitch black.

He slowly scanned the room. It wasn't big, with two bunk beds, four beds.

In the middle was a long table with vases, cups, clothes, and other daily necessities on it, all covered in dust, including the table top.

Near the window, there were two vertical storage cabinets.

"This is definitely not for normal employees to live in." Zhang Yuanqing wiped the dust off the table.

He was referring to the proper zookeepers during the day.

"It's for employees in blue and black uniforms in the rules," the Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter said, her beautiful eyes slowly scanning the room. "Interestingly, they seem to never come back to live?" Otherwise, it wouldn't be covered in dust.

"They are active in the zoo at night, but don't come back during the day either? Then what is the meaning of this dormitory building's existence?" Zhang Yuanqing asked in confusion.

The Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter shook her head and walked straight to the vertical cabinet.

The two people and two zombies quickly searched. Zhang Yuanqing and the Palace Master opened the vertical cabinet and searched for valuable items, while Princess Yin Yao and Blood Rose squatted down and pulled out the boxes under the beds.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the cabinet door. The storage cabinet contained quilts, clothes, and daily necessities such as towels and toothbrushes, as well as an employee ID.

The surname on the employee ID was crossed out, and the name was: Qiao Jun.

"There's an employee handbook."

The Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter found a thin handbook from the storage cabinet.

Employee handbook? Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed. The employee handbook must be closely related to the zoo and is a very valuable clue.

He immediately leaned over.

The Palace Master of Stopping Slaughter took the opportunity to lean into the arms of the little pretty boy, opened the booklet, and read it with him.

Princess Yin Yao also wanted to come over to take a look, but was coldly stared at by the Palace Master, and silently retreated.

"Dear employee: Hello, first of all, I must say sorry to you. You failed to leave the zoo successfully. You died here, but compared to others, you are lucky, because you have been selected. The zoo has given you a second life. You will work for the zoo forever, until the end of time, or until you are tired. Please cherish this hard-won second life and strive to become an excellent gardener."

"When working in the zoo, please be sure to abide by the following rules..."

The employees in blue and black uniforms seen at night are transformed from the dead who died in the zoo? But why didn't I sense the aura of a spirit at all?

If I die in the zoo, will I also become a staff member?

Just the foreword of the employee handbook shocked Zhang Yuanqing.
