Yin Yang sat opposite the Little White Rabbit, a smile on his face.
“You’re moving fast. Any results?”
Zhou Kexin stared blankly into space, as if she hadn't heard a word Yin Yang said.
Knock, knock.
Yin Yang lightly tapped the tabletop. A burning sensation flared in Zhou Kexin’s heart. She clutched her chest in pain and looked up in shock, only to see Yin Yang staring at her with eyes devoid of emotion.
“No... I haven't found anything yet. I only just made contact with him.”
“However, the atmosphere at the Qi residence has been a bit off lately. It’s as if they’re preparing for something.”
“And many people have come to the Qi residence over the last two days. The guards seemed to know all of them.”
“I feel like the atmosphere there is becoming dangerous.”
Zhou Kexin sighed at this point and looked up at Yin Yang.
“They might have sensed your plan, which is why they’re calling back all their experts.”
“Whatever it is you want to do, now isn't the best time. Give it up.”
The corners of Yin Yang’s mouth curled up as he squinted at the sunlight outside the window.
“On the contrary, now is the perfect opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!”
Zhou Kexin looked at Yin Yang in utter bewilderment.
A madman. This person is an absolute madman!
Even if he has some strength, that’s the Qi family! The Qi family, which possesses numerous transcendents!
No, that’s not right. Since he has such confidence, it means he must have powerful reinforcements behind him!
Could it be... a Demigod?
Yin Yang gently turned the ring on his pinky finger.
“I need to know what they are preparing for. How many days will it take you?”
Zhou Kexin said with some difficulty, “He’s quite cautious. I think it will take at least a month.”
The moment the word 'month' left her mouth, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
The gentle smile remained on Yin Yang’s face, but there wasn't a trace of warmth in his eyes.
“I’ll give you three days.”
“Three days? Are you crazy? That’s impossible!”
“That’s your problem.”
Zhou Kexin clenched her fists tightly. At this moment, she wanted nothing more than to punch the head of the man in front of her until it exploded!
If he wanted to die, fine, but why did he have to drag her down with him?
You’ve lived long enough, but I haven't!
However, she only dared to grumble these words in her mind. On the surface, she maintained her timid appearance; it seemed to have become her protective coloring.
Unfortunately, the man in front of her didn't buy it at all.
“In three days, I’ll be waiting for your news.”
Hearing Yin Yang’s words, Zhou Kexin knew the matter was settled. She could only grab her bag and leave reluctantly.
Yin Yang continued to lower his head and read.
The wind in Wang City was very strong today. Several fallen leaves were swept up and pressed against the glass window, as if the wind were showing off its power.
It’s time to create a little panic.
...
The Qi residence.
The foul-mouthed young man crouched before a pile of rubble, his nose twitching slightly.
Such a strong baleful aura. Was this house-guarding stone lion shattered by baleful aura?
Baleful aura of this intensity is rare. It must be some kind of transcendent item, right?
If I can get my hands on that item, I might just be able to make a play for the position of heir.
He picked up a piece of rubble and weighed it in his hand.
There’s still a bit of spiritual residue on this. A pity I’m not a Constable; otherwise, I could probably find the other party by following this spirituality.
Now, I can only rely on this transcendent item.
The young man took a cigarette-box-sized golden casket from his robe. One side was engraved with the Qi family crest, while the other side bore the name 'Qi Xing.' This was his name.
He took a deep breath and carefully opened the golden casket.
Inside the golden casket was a goldfish.
The goldfish was about the size of a thumb. Even though there wasn't a drop of water in the casket, it swam through the air within.
Qi Xing held the rubble out to the goldfish and whispered, “Find the owner of this baleful aura!”
The goldfish slowly swam out of the golden casket, its mouth opening and closing as it devoured the baleful aura on the rubble.
Once the baleful aura had completely vanished, it began to swim outward.
Qi Xing hurriedly followed. But once he stepped outside the house, he realized it was raining.
The rain heavily obscured his vision. He had to stay glued to the goldfish’s tail, watching as the fish gradually grew larger.
Although its growth was slow, it still sent waves of trepidation through Qi Xing. He could only hope the target was still in Wang City.
Otherwise, this transcendent item would soon lose control.
The goldfish swayed as it led the way out of the Qi residence. The security personnel at the gate hurried over when they saw it, only leaving after Qi Xing waved them away.
Qi Xing followed the goldfish out of the East District. By the time they reached the West District, the goldfish had grown to the size of a human head.
Qi Xing’s face was grim as he tightly gripped a talisman. One meter—that was the limit of what Qi Xing could handle.
If the goldfish grew to a meter in length and still hadn't found the target, he would have to seal it!
The rain fell harder and harder, with puddles on the ground nearly two inches deep.
The drainage system in Wang City had always been poor.
The goldfish’s mouth opened and closed in mid-air, still devouring the residual baleful aura, but its speed had gradually slowed. Finally, it descended toward a small alley.
Qi Xing was overjoyed at the sight, and his pace quickened.
It was a narrow alley only two meters wide. The walls on both sides were old, and the ground was littered with trash. Now, washed by the heavy rain, much of the trash floated on the water’s surface, looking exceptionally messy.
Standing at the end of the alley was a tall, thin man.
He wore a transparent raincoat and a black mask, leaving only his eyes visible.
The only identifiable feature was a tear-drop mole.
“You’re the one who destroyed my family’s stone lion?”
With a flick of his wrist, Qi Xing sent the talisman flying. It landed perfectly on the goldfish.
Ssss~
The goldfish rapidly shrank as if it were losing air. Qi Xing reached out to catch it.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out very suddenly.
Qi Xing’s right hand was shot clean through!
“Agh!”
He screamed in pain, his expression one of shock.
This guy actually has a gun?
Bang!
The gun fired again. Qi Xing didn't care about his dignity anymore; he scrambled into the water and then fought back with all his might.
“Die!”
His eyes bulged, filled with madness.
A surge of pressure erupted toward Yin Yang.
Yin Yang, however, seemed completely unaffected and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Three bullets flew straight into Qi Xing’s right arm.
Only then did the goldfish in the air slowly descend.
As if he felt no pain, Qi Xing reached out to grab the goldfish.
But just as his arm rose, the goldfish vanished into thin air.
This left him momentarily stunned. By the time he snapped out of it, a sharp dissecting knife had already pierced his chest!
Pfft.
Even with his heart pierced, he didn't die immediately. Instead, his smile grew even more deranged.
“Caught you!”
He lunged with his left arm toward the man in the raincoat.
He was confident that as long as he could grab the man, he could snap him in half at the waist!
Flash!
A cold light flickered, and Qi Xing’s left arm went limp and fell.
He looked on blankly as the man in the raincoat laughed.
“So you were a Coroner after all. Hehehe.”
