Silver Art came back to her senses and looked over.
Pei Jinye forcefully regained control of his mind and, without changing his expression, said, “You take the target away.”
Once done, he scooped up the two Transcendents who had already been knocked unconscious by the Shock and quickly made his escape.
“This…”
The assassins present exchanged glances and then turned their gaze toward Silver Art.
Silver Art herself seemed lost for a moment, then said as if it was only natural, “Let’s follow the Demon King’s orders.”
…
[New Extraordinary-Human Gene 1: Psychic * Phantom Blade (Can trigger shadow blades in darkness).]
[New Extraordinary-Human Gene 2: Psychic * Acceleration (Triggers acceleration effect against any kinetic attack within three meters).]
…
Two new types emerged overnight, and over ten Extraordinary-Human Genes have been plundered, but time’s still too short.
Otherwise, I could’ve continued all night in one go.
…
“Demogorgon?”
“Mhm?”
“You… you didn’t kill them, did you?”
“Why do you ask?”
“The headquarters inquired about this matter…”
Silver Art said, somewhat embarrassed.
Pei Jinye clearly understood and said unconcernedly, “If there’s trouble, I’ll take responsibility.”
The conversation took a turn.
“Who at headquarters is dissatisfied?”
Silver Art was startled, speaking in a low voice, “Elder Candle.”
“That old coot again? Dares he return to headquarters? Didn’t the Elder come after him?” Pei Jinye raised his eyebrow.
Silver Art checked their surroundings and then whispered, “He’s a projection. The Elder was going after him but was stopped by the other Elders.”
“Heh.”
Pei Jinye chuckled lightly.
His enigmatic smile made Silver Art hesitate. She silently passed him a slip of paper.
Pei Jinye looked at her.
Silver Art winked at him.
Then she covered her head with her hat and left the alley.
Pei Jinye unfolded his hand.
On the paper were written three codenames: [Blood Ghost Ape], [Blood Thorn], [Spirit Pupil Holder].
Pei Jinye understood.
These three individuals were all confidants of Elder Candle.
The fact that Silver Art could hand over these names also hinted at Elder Wuji’s stance.
“One of these days, I must return the favor.”
Pei Jinye turned around.
The note twirled in mid-air, consumed in an instant by flames, and as the ashes fell to the ground, the figure at the alley’s exit had already quietly disappeared.
…
…
At Dragon City martial arts university.
Inside dorm 317.
Pei Jinye entered with Liu Limin, Liu carrying a bag of snacks: “Dad’s back, is anyone hungry?”
“Get lost.”
Cao Yingjun looked over disdainfully but still went to take a peek.
“Damn, that stinks.”
“Would it still be called stinky tofu if it didn’t stink?” said Liu Limin with disgust, “I queued up for half an hour, it’s insanely popular.”
Pei Jinye put down the fruit plate he was holding: “A friend sent some Spirit Fruits, let’s wash them and share.”
“Holy crap, Spirit Fruits. I heard even the cheapest costs tens of thousands per piece…” Cao Yingjun’s eyes widened.
Even Liu Limin lost interest in his stinky tofu.
“My friend really isn’t short on cash,” said Pei Jinye as he sat down.
Just as he was about to pour some water, Liu Limin eagerly took Pei Jinye’s cup and teapot and personally poured him a drink.
“Here you go, Brother Pei.”
“Tsk, you’re going places,” Pei Jinye chuckled lightly, accepting the cup without demur.
Cao Yingjun went to wash the fruit plate.
From a distance, Liu shouted at him, “Be gentle, don’t bruise them.”
“I know, you nag too much,” Cao Yingjun replied with disdain.
“Old Zhong’s missing out,” Liu laughed, sitting next to Pei Jinye.
“I heard today some guys from the Western Continent were having a dinner party,” Cao Yingjun mentioned.
Hearing this, Liu looked over, “You know about this?”
Cao Yingjun chuckled, “I happened to pass by when Zhong Taishu and that girl greeted me. Geez, it was quite the gathering.”
He added wistfully, “People from the Western Continent really stick together. Heard they had been bullied before, but then a tough senior united them…”
Liu’s interest was piqued upon hearing this, “I know about this. All too well.”
He turned to Pei Jinye, “Brother Pei, do you know about this?”
“I don’t know, what’s up?” Pei Jinye asked casually.
Cao Yingjun came in with a plate of fruit, and everyone let Pei Jinye pick first, but the two of them each took one and sat down next to each other.
Liu Limin was so excited that he didn’t even eat the Spirit Fruit right away, gesturing animatedly, “It was almost thirty years ago, my uncle witnessed it. Back then, a local guy in Dragon City used to boss everyone around, picking on outsiders. That senior was truly awesome, no one expected her to be negotiating with all the major schools’ organizations on one hand, and on the other hand, secretly uniting everyone from the Western Continent…”
“It was someone from the Ouyang Family, right?” Cao Yingjun said uncertainly.
Liu Limin nodded, “Right, someone from the Ouyang Family. I have to say, the Ouyang Family does have some tricks up their sleeve. My uncle said that back then, most people who came from the Western Continent to study were from influential families, everyone operating independently. In the end, they all rallied under that senior’s call, and from then on, anyone coming from the Western Continent, regardless of their background, was absorbed into this big family.”
“So they don’t join the student council or other organizations?” Pei Jinye asked.
Liu Limin shook his head, “No, on the contrary, these people actively join various campus organizations to expand their influence, but their main goal is to help their people from the Western Continent.”
Pei Jinye nodded, “That’s indeed very shrewd.”
Cao Yingjun felt a bit sentimental on the side, took a bite of the fruit, and woofed it down.
Liu Limin couldn’t stop talking once he started on the past, “Speaking of which, you guys might not know, the current student council president, Fang Tianping, is actually from Central State. But he started traveling around the Five Continents with others when he was ten, highly talented. When he passed through the Western Continent, he even met with that senior. I heard that the Ouyang Family had high praise for Brother Fang.”
“He’s from Central State, so that’s the same place as Brother Pei, isn’t it?” Cao Yingjun suddenly became curious.
Pei Jinye chuckled, “Central State is so big, I wouldn’t know him if you guys didn’t mention him. Besides, he left Central State years ago; it’s normal that I haven’t heard about him.”
“That’s true.”
The three of them laughed and chatted.
By ten o’clock plus, Uncle Zhong came back reeking of alcohol, tiptoeing, afraid of waking Pei Jinye and the others, not expecting that the three of them were still awake.
“You guys…” Uncle Zhong didn’t finish his sentence, belching loudly.
Liu Limin teased, “You came back just in time. If you were any later, I would have eaten the Spirit Fruit Brother Pei left for you.”
“Spirit Fruit?” Uncle Zhong was a bit dazed, looking towards Pei Jinye’s area, but Pei Jinye had already gone to bed and was reading inside the tent.
Uncle Zhong walked over to Pei Jinye’s tent and cautiously said “Thank you.”
Pei Jinye smiled and told him to relax a bit.
Cao Yingjun wasn’t too outgoing, so he didn’t get too close to Uncle Zhong.
Liu Limin, on the other hand, wasn’t one to turn anyone away, hugging Uncle Zhong, who was even bigger than him, and slapped his shoulder, “Looking at you, it seems your drinking capacity isn’t up to par.”
“Indeed, it isn’t that great, barely five or six jin, I nearly got knocked out.” Uncle Zhong said humbly.
Liu Limin was stunned, pausing his shoulder-patting, “Jeez, brother, you’re beastly.”
Uncle Zhong kept shaking his hands, “I’m really not.”
“…”
“Holy sh*t!!!”
Suddenly, a shout of surprise came from the neighboring dorm.
Liu Limin rushed to the balcony and shouted, “Sun Qing, what the hell are you ‘holy sh*t’ing about?”
“Watching the news, it’s shocking!” came the response from the neighboring dorm.
Liu Limin came back and started looking for his phone, “Damn, where’s my mobile?”
Seriously anxious for not being able to catch up with the juicy stories.
Yet Cao Yingjun’s voice drifted over leisurely, “I saw it, a large-scale mechanical fight broke out in Baijing City, the death toll exceeded the double digits, and the government rescued over a hundred hostages…”
“Fuck, hostages? What happened, a large-scale kidnapping?” Liu Limin stopped searching for his phone, showing great shock.
Cao Yingjun scrolled through his phone screen, apparently looking for some useful information, then looked up and said, “I see it, it’s the people from Ultimate Bliss Manor… it’s those crazies we ran into last time. They’ve taken these hostages, all young girls, no doubt some evil ritual… They’ve abducted over a hundred people, sheesh, what on earth does Ultimate Bliss Manor want to do?”
“Is the official response this strong this time?” Liu Limin seemed somewhat surprised, looking at Pei Jinye and Zhong Taishu; “Didn’t they say the Night Patrol Department went after Ultimate Bliss Manor last time, only to get their asses handed to them? And now they’re hitting them hard, could it be that last time was a deliberate show of weakness to lower Ultimate Bliss Manor’s guard, then hit them with a big move? Wow, what a huge game of chess.”
Pei Jinye looked over with a ghost of a glare.
The little brother’s imagination would be wasted if he didn’t become a screenwriter.
Just then, Zhong Taishu suddenly spoke up, “As far as I know, these girls that were captured have no idea what happened to them. If things are as they seem, their memories must have been wiped.”
“Memory wiping?” Liu Limin was taken aback, “Did Ultimate Bliss Manor do it? That’s too cruel, isn’t it?”
However, Cao Yingjun objected, “To wipe the memories of over a hundred people, that’s no small task, and besides, there’s no way Ultimate Bliss Manor could be sure when they’d get caught, so in order to achieve this state of complete ignorance, they would have to perform memory wipes every day. You know, even for a member of the Psychic Class, doing this would be extremely taxing on the mind…”
“That’s also true.” Liu Limin was like a grass on top of a wall, siding with whoever made sense.
Zhong Taishu shook his head, “Who knows what’s really going on, there are a lot of doubts about this case. I’ve heard that the Federation Special Office has joined forces with the Judgment Place of the Eastern Continent. Maybe things will clear up soon.”
Pei Jinye quietly listened to their conversation.
…
Baijing City.
“Chief.” Zhuo Wenjing straightened up, greeting the higher-ups of the Federation Special Office.
The man in a white suit leading the group nodded without any airs, “Let’s get straight to the point.”
“Yes.”
…
In the basement.
Luo Zehu was squatting on the ground conducting an inspection.
After finishing the conversation with Zhuo Wenjing, Mr. White walked over unhurriedly, “Find anything?”
Luo Zehu nodded firmly, “The people from Ultimate Bliss Manor encountered an invasion. The invader’s execution was very strong and decisive. If they hadn’t gone through specialized training, my name would be the same as yours.”
“…”
Mr. White was annoyed, “Get lost.”
He reached out his hand.
Controlling the Transcendent, he started making all traces at the crime scene visible.
However, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
The bloodstains at the scene seemed to have been covered up.
“What’s going on?” Luo Zehu looked over.
Mr. White was also puzzled.

A group of people appeared beside them, one redhead amongst them quickly walked forward; the device in his hand sounded off with a “beep beep beep.”
Luo Zehu and Mr. White glanced over.
The two quickly exchanged a look.
The people from the Judgment Place had arrived.
But obviously, the moment the device started blaring, the faces of these Judgment Place people… all displayed a gravity.
