Wei Tianyang gazed at the familiar silhouette of his mother by the window.
He wanted to approach, but his steps seed stuck to the floor, unable to move.
His mother turned her head to look at him, smiled gently, and said, "Tianyang, I’ve caused you trouble."
"We won’t be apart anymore," Wei Tianyang said.
He stepped forward and embraced his mother, just like a child.
"My son is no longer frail, you’ve been doing well these years, I can tell," his mother said with a smile.
Wei Tianyang did not speak, allowing his mother to stroke his head.
"I’ve heard... the whole world fears you. What have you been doing all these years?" his mother asked.
"Mom... they’re lying," Wei Tianyang said softly, with closed eyes.
"Tell mom, have you done so bad things? They say you’ve killed many people..." asked his mother.
"I haven’t," Wei Tianyang said.
"Yang... you didn’t use to lie," his mother said.
Wei Tianyang raised his head, smiled at his mother, and said, "Mom, I’ve succeeded, I’ve made the whole world know my na. So what if I’ve killed many people? Now, you and I... we are both immortal. I’ve gained power, and you have beco a spirit... We have already seen a new dinsion of the world... Mom... I will beco their king, and you, you will enjoy the whole world."
"You seem different from the Tianyang I rember..." his mother said, sowhat worried.
"People change, the story of these 20 years, I can tell you slowly. But now..." Wei Tianyang said, rising to look out the window.
After the Netherworld King died, those bound to him beca like Earth-bound Spirits, unable to make contact with objective reality, wandering the streets, their faces filled with horror and unease.
Quigui Ge led his n to tow away a blue SUV from the back alley, its windows riddled with bullet holes, and a large stain of blood on the leather seats. When they killed the Netherworld King, none of the spirits dared to stop them, as Wei Tianyang had already spread the word that he could absorb them all in an instant—it would be true death.
Among these people, besides old soldiers from various wars, there were so familiar faces.
Wei Tianyang had already gained control over them. Now, he beca the new anchor point, but he had not yet allowed all the spirits to enter the hotel.
"Mom, what about the little sister from next door?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"She... she went to find her grandfather..." his mother said, shaking her head.
Wei Tianyang sighed. The little girl had no attachnts left and had dissipated afterward.
"And what about all those... dead, what do you plan to do with them?" his mother asked.
"They all listen to now," Wei Tianyang said.
He closed his eyes, focusing as he sent out a ssage.
At that mont, the spirits surged through the main doors and entered the hotel.
Pei Guode Hotel once again beca that dark house.
"Mom, I need to handle so matters. This is my room; you stay here," Wei Tianyang said.
"I’m already dead... Tianyang," his mother said, shaking her head.
"No, you still exist. Maybe the boundary between life and death isn’t as clear-cut as we think. Oh..." Wei Tianyang suddenly rembered sothing and walked to the electronic fireplace.
He lifted the silent Zhao Ling from under the blanket; her eyes lifeless, her face pressed against Wei Tianyang’s chest, like a cold doll.
"Yang! What is... What is this?!!" his mother cried in horror, looking at the limbless woman in his arms.
"Mom! Look, this is my lover! She used to be the Emperor of Yin Country!" Wei Tianyang said with a laugh.
Mother slowly backed away, already having passed through the wall, hiding outside the building.
"Mom... don’t be afraid, she’s still alive, just... she’s experienced so... spiritual trauma, she’ll get better, you can talk to her more... but she might not see you," Wei Tianyang said.
Mother crossed through the wall again and sat down beside the bed, saying, "Yang... you really aren’t the sa as before... You used to not be like this."
"Mom, no one remains the sa forever, if soone were the sa at 35 as they were at 15, wouldn’t that be wasting 20 years of life?" Wei Tianyang said.
"You... you weren’t like this before..." Mother’s face showed a sorrowful expression.
At that mont, Baphot and Yaha returned from their walk, and the black sheep’s complaints filled his mind.
"The horned ones, suddenly there are a lot of dead people at ho, even though I am a sheep, I need my personal space!"
"Hush..." Wei Tianyang stretched out his finger to silence Baphot.
Then, he handed Zhao Ling to Yaha, then turned to his mother, "Mom... I have to go deal with sothing... there are a few acquaintances among that pile of dead I need to see, you rest first."
Baphot looked at Wei Tianyang’s mother and mockingly blew a breath of air.
Wei Tianyang had all those dead gather on the fourth underground level.
The Pei Guode Hotel had been designed from the beginning with a large space underground that could accommodate an entire arsenal.
That Federation nuclear weapon was placed there.
But after that, this underground space hadn’t been fully utilized, now, hundreds of dead gathering in this space, tightly surrounding the nuclear weapon.
Wei Tianyang ca to this level, the entire warehouse, as far as the eye could see, was filled with soldiers in combat uniforms.
The organization behind the Netherworld King may have used Hasegawa Pharmaceutical’s technology to alter the equipnt of the deceased, but obviously, they still couldn’t heal the fatal wounds on the bodies of the deceased, and so of the disabled dead could only be abandoned.
Now, these people were of little use to him.
Wei Tianyang didn’t need to conduct political assassinations, nor did he need to use this Dead Man Army to attack anyone, originally he thought about just absorbing all these undead.
But in an instant, he changed his mind.
Now, he had inherited Johnny’s legacy, those strongholds and bases were stuffed full of ard terrorists.
Too many people would only expose him.
And further, since Price and the others were investigating Johnny, he needed to give Price and the board an explanation, making them think this incident was completely over.
Wei Tianyang touched his chin thoughtfully and started to laugh.
He looked at the group of undead; they were silent with terrified hearts, fearing he might lift his hand the next second, sending them into the void.
Wei Tianyang said, "War shaped you, this is your ultimate fate, you have no other path to follow now, I am your new boss, help guard those assets, and I’ll allow you to continue to exist in this world."
He paused for a few seconds, and the undead below shouted together, "We fight for you!!!"
Wei Tianyang smiled satisfactorily, stretching his hand toward the crowd, many of them frightenedly crouched down.
At that mont, two familiar people flew in front of him.
Hans and Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu wore embarrassingly skimpy lingerie, covered in scars, having been played with by Moby Dick, and later, bestowed upon those soldiers by the Netherworld King.
Now, she had been reduced to a ntally unclear female plaything, but still, she rembered Wei Tianyang.
Hans, because he had technology through the Netherworld King, had assisted Johnny in researching Black dicine. He had fared well and had long held contempt for Ruan Yu.
"Nice to see you both again," Wei Tianyang said smiling.
