As those incantations lit up, Yin Yang’s aura grew stronger once again!
Spheres of reddish-black energy emerged from behind him, emitting bursts of miserable shrieks and wails.
The bartender’s expression turned solemn; this man’s methods were far too bizarre!
Unheard of, unseen.
Moreover, he had attacked immediately and had even set up numerous incantations around the area beforehand. What did that mean?
It meant he had come prepared!
'No, I have to fight my way out. This place is disadvantageous for me!'
The bartender made a split-second decision. But at this moment, his living corpses had all been hacked to pieces by the blade-wielding ghost; he could only rely on himself.
His right hand quickly turned black as he pressed it toward Yin Yang.
A cloud of black gas lunged toward Yin Yang’s face—it was corpse poison!
Hum—
Just like the bullets, the corpse poison came to a halt three meters away from Yin Yang.
Only then did the bartender snap back to his senses, realizing that this man definitely possessed some defensive measure capable of blocking long-range attacks!
But fortunately, the distance between them had been widened.
Bang!
A bullet streaked toward the bartender’s forehead!
The one who fired was Wang Bin!
Although he still couldn't quite grasp the situation, he knew that the one who shot and killed Li Qing was a living corpse!
And the man who had come to deliver flowers hadn't attacked them from the start—that was enough!
The bartender dodged the moment the gunshot rang out, but because of that, his movements slowed for a split second, and Yin Yang seized the opportunity.
The reddish-black spheres behind Yin Yang intertwined and coiled around each other, forming a giant ghost hand that lunged for the bartender’s throat.
Before the ghost hand even got close, the bartender felt his hair stand on end.
'Danger, danger, danger!'
'If I get caught, I’ll die!'
This thought instantly occupied the bartender’s mind.
Yin Yang had obtained this move by sacrificing fifty souls. It wouldn't work against a Sequence 5, but it could make a Sequence 6 scream in pain.
The bartender gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't dodge. He had no choice but to take it head-on.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and black mist billowed from his body, also manifesting into a ghost hand that struck out at the giant reddish-black hand!
Boom!
The moment the two collided, a shockwave erupted inside the bar.
Wang Bin adjusted his shooting stance again, but before he could fire, the bartender acted first.
A severed arm of a living corpse pulled a trigger.
The shotgun fired countless steel pellets, sending Wang Bin flying.
Thud.
Wang Bin crashed against the wall, his chest riddled with bloody holes.
He looked down in disbelief, watching blood gush from his body.
He tried to reach out and press down on the wound, only to find he couldn't lift his hand at all. He could only watch as his life slowly ebbed away.
A cruel smile curled the bartender’s lips.
These two had come first to fish for information and lower his guard, then this flower delivery man took the opportunity to trick him into signing for a package. Heh, clever tactics.
In that case, you can die first!
Just as the bartender thought this, he suddenly saw a flash of fire.
The light was so bright and dazzling that he felt a wave of scorching heat even before it drew near.
Pfft!
A flaming arrow pierced through the bartender’s forehead.
This was Yin Yang’s true killing move. The ghost hand earlier was merely to force the bartender in that direction.
The bartender’s body began to vanish bit by bit. He was Yin Yang’s 'spoils of war,' and could be sacrificed without needing a brand.
The blade-wielding ghost stepped forward and decapitated him, taking the bartender’s head. This would be needed as material for the altar.
Yin Yang turned his head to look at Wang Bin, seeing that his pupils had already dilated, yet his gaze was still fixed on Li Qing’s corpse.
Without even checking their IDs, just by the firearms they had used earlier, Yin Yang knew they were likely from the Security Bureau.
Rather than sacrificing two Sequence 8s, Yin Yang preferred to leave the bodies here.
He believed that once the Security Bureau uncovered the bartender’s identity, they would give the human traffickers in Meng City a lesson they wouldn't forget.
...
Three days later.
Wang Gen and Captain Zhang both looked grim.
On the first day they went missing, Captain Zhang hadn't taken it seriously.
After all, it was normal for young people investigating a case to work late into the night and not return to report.
By the second day, Captain Zhang felt something was wrong.
Not only had they sent back zero information, but their vehicle’s location hadn't moved an inch.
So Captain Zhang came looking for them and tried to contact them, but couldn't reach either one.
Left with no choice, he could only send people to start a search.
It wasn't until now, the third day, that he found these two bodies, which had already reached a state of advanced bloating!
“How did they die?”
“Gunshots.”
“Any surveillance?”
“None.”
“This is going to be difficult. These two came to seek out Mr. Su, and now they’ve died in Meng City.”
“That’s why I haven't dared to tell Mr. Su yet.”
Captain Zhang turned to look at Wang Gen with an expression that seemed to say, 'Boss, you can handle this, right?'
Wang Gen’s eye couldn't help but twitch as he changed the subject.
“What about the bar owner?”
“Missing.”
“Is he related to the case?”
“Still investigating.”
Wang Gen clenched his fist.
“Check the True Knowledge Society. I just took down one of their strongholds; this might be their retaliation.”
“Yes, sir!”
...
Command Center.
“What? Both of them are dead?”
“Yes!”
“Do we know who killed them?”
“It’s still under investigation.”
Su Baadao’s expression was equally unsightly.
He didn't have much of an impression of these two princelings who had come to join him, but he couldn't refuse out of respect for his master.
After they arrived, he had only met them once before handing them over to Wang Gen.
He hadn't expected that in just a few days, both of them would be dead.
“Only the two of them died?”
“Yes, only two bodies were found at the scene. The bar owner is still missing, and we don't know if he’s dead or just gone.”
Su Baadao was almost laughing out of anger.
“Wang Gen, let me ask you one thing. Is the surveillance in our Meng City just for show?”
“Why is it that every time we need to use it, there’s no footage?”
“If this continues, I think the budget for surveillance maintenance should be cut down.”
Wang Gen didn't say a word; he was clearly in the wrong here.
The people his superior had entrusted to him were dead within days, and only those two died. What would anyone think?
Su Baadao rubbed his brow.
“Six months. I’m being transferred in six months.”
“I was originally on track for a ninety-five percent score on my evaluation, but now even an eighty is looking unlikely.”
“Wang Gen, do you understand what I mean?”
Wang Gen didn't dare speak. Ever since Su Baadao had saved him last time, his respect for Su Baadao had grown significantly.
“Form a task force. I’ll give you one week to find the killer.”
“I don't care what organization they belong to; I want them to completely disappear from Meng City!”
“Yes, sir!!!”
...
Flower shop.
“Meow~”
Canned Food wore a pair of sunglasses, its chest puffed out high.
“For real? You’re that strong?”
“Meow!”
“You killed over sixty rats?”
“Meow!”
“Impressive!”
