Director Li was terrified by the sight, feeling as if she were trapped in a nightmare.
But no matter how loud she screamed, no one came to check on her.
Once she realized this, she immediately clutched her pendant.
Hum~
With a low hum in the air, a faint yellow halo enveloped her entire body.
“Who the hell are you?! What did you do to my brother?”
Yin Yang was momentarily taken aback before glancing at the Eldest Young Master’s head.
“What did I do to him? Isn’t it obvious? Do you want me to give you a demonstration?”
Director Li calmed down slightly as spiritual fluctuations began to emanate from her body.
“Let me tell you, I’m no fragile heiress. I’m a transcendent too! You—”
Before she could finish, a zhanmadao surging with baleful aura pierced through her shoulder blades, pinning her directly to the wall!
As for the halo around her, it vanished before the zhanmadao even got close.
“Aaaaaah!!!”
The intense pain forced another scream from her. Yin Yang looked at the ball of light in his hand.
Spirit-Snatch!
This was a new skill he had mastered after promoting to High Priest. It seemed incredibly effective.
As Director Li’s screams continued unabated, Yin Yang approached her with a smile.
“It’s just a little pain. You can’t handle even this?”
As he spoke, Yin Yang took out a small knife and carved two words onto Director Li’s forehead.
Scum.
“Aaaaaah!!!”
Director Li’s screams became even more shrill. The face is rich with nerves, making any injury there far more painful.
As she struggled, blood splattered onto Yin Yang’s raincoat.
Yin Yang gripped her throat with his left hand while his right continued to carve with the knife.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you love carving things into your patients?”
“I recall that during an organ transplant, you carved your initials into the patient’s internal organs, causing the transplant to fail and the patient to die.”
“And you’ve done this more than once. Now, I’ve only carved two words on you, and you’re already falling apart?”
Due to the agonizing pain, her voice was becoming distorted.
“I didn’t... You have the wrong person... It wasn’t me...”
Hearing her denials, Yin Yang’s smile grew even wider.
He released his left hand and snapped his fingers. Director Li felt her eyes grow hot, and tears began to stream uncontrollably.
Vaguely, she seemed to see many people appearing in the office.
When she saw them clearly, her screams became even more piercing.
They were the 'patients' she had treated to death over the years!
Among them were the very ones Yin Yang had mentioned, those whose organs she had carved her name into.
At this moment, they were staring at her with expressions of madness, looking as if they couldn't wait to carve words into her face themselves.
“Heh, I might have the wrong person, but what about them? Would they have the wrong person too?”
Director Li began to suffer a complete breakdown.
Having grown up in a life of luxury, when had she ever seen such a sight?
“Don’t let them near me! Don’t let them near me!”
Director Li shrieked.
Yin Yang smiled and forced her mouth open.
“They won’t just get near you; they’re going to become one with you!”
As Yin Yang spoke, the spirit forms turned into spheres of light and surged into her body.
“Mmph! Mmph!”
Director Li let out muffled cries, trying to spit them out, but it was all in vain.
...
Huang City.
Li Mansion.
The entire Li Mansion had fallen into a deathly silence.
The Eldest Young Master was dead, and the Eldest Master had lost a leg to a sealed object.
This meant their branch no longer had a successor in the Security Bureau, which was definitely not a good thing.
“Brother, sigh, I’m devastated by my nephew’s death too, but our family can’t just give up on the Security Bureau, can we?”
“You’ve lost a leg, and it’ll take time for a transplant to recover. What are we supposed to do if something goes wrong in the meantime?”
“I’m not bragging, but I know a young lad. He’s a solid worker, highly educated, and with a bit of training, he’ll be a real talent.”
“More importantly, that boy is one of our own. He would never betray the Li family!”
The Second Master talked smoothly, barely suppressing his delight.
Beside him, the Second Young Master’s face was grim. He was old enough; what could possibly be hidden from him?
What his father was talking about was obviously his 'dear brother'!
The Eldest Master let out a cold laugh upon hearing this.
“Is that so? What a coincidence. I happen to know a young man like that as well!”
The Second Master opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
He also knew who his elder brother was referring to.
Indeed, his elder brother also had an illegitimate son.
He had heard the boy was named Li Yi.
Right now, his brother had lost his legitimate son and a leg; he was in a fit of rage, so saying anything further would be a mistake.
Just wait. He didn't believe his sister-in-law would sit by and watch an illegitimate son take the position.
When the time came, he would have his own son recognize his sister-in-law as his godmother. Would he still have to worry about not being supported then?
Thinking of this, the Second Master’s smile grew even wider.
The Third Master sat quietly drinking tea, his voice cold and clear.
“Brother, are you saying that the one who killed Da Jiang is the same god who killed my wife’s pet?”
“Yes, that’s what the sealed object reflected.”
The Third Master frowned deeply.
“In that case, that god isn't targeting my wife, but our entire Li family.”
Silence fell over the room once more.
“The timing of our ancestral ritual is no secret. If the opponent truly is a god and intends to target the Li family, there is a high probability they will strike on the day of the ritual.”
“Why?”
The Second Young Master looked at the Third Master with a confused expression. The Second Master’s expression was much the same as his son’s. Only the Eldest Master spoke up.
“Because everyone will be there during the ancestral ritual.”
The Second Young Master panicked immediately.
“Then... then what... what can we do?”
He subconsciously wanted to ask if they could just skip the ritual.
But seeing the expressions of his uncle and third uncle, he wisely held his tongue.
The ancestral ritual was a major event for the Li family. If they changed the time, outsiders would know the Li family was afraid. That would definitely not be good for their reputation!
More importantly, if they were truly being watched by a 'god', even if they changed the time, wouldn't the god just change theirs as well?
Therefore, it was a very foolish idea.
“Yeah, what do we do?”
The Second Master was equally afraid of death and chimed in with his son.
The Third Master took a sip of tea and said, “Brother is the Bureau Chief of the Security Bureau. He lost a leg because of that god. What does that show? It shows that the deity is provoking the Security Bureau!”
“So what if it’s a god? Have there been few evil gods eradicated by Great Wei over the years?”
The Eldest Master thought to himself.
There are different levels of gods!
For instance, the sealed object would never fear some minor local deity.
However, he still spoke up.
“I have already reported this matter. Headquarters is taking it very seriously and will be sending people over.”
Hearing this, everyone in the room felt much more at ease, though the Third Master remained frowning.
“A Demigod is about the highest combat power Headquarters can spare. They won’t deploy a Sequence 4 for something like this.”
“I’m afraid a Demigod alone won’t be enough to go up against that kind of god.”
The Eldest Master nodded.
“That is why they are deploying a Baleful Star this time!”
At the mention of the words 'Baleful Star', the expressions of everyone in the room became complicated.
Because their family had produced a Baleful Star once too!
