Black Water Town.
Yue Family’s ancient mansion.
After Uncle Gouzi left, a few highly trained team mbers, camouflaged in the grass nearby, stood up and began inspecting the ancient mansion with various devices.
"Reporting to headquarters, we’ve reached the designated position. But we lost track of the target..."
"We suspect the target has entered an interdinsional space!"
"Please provide further instructions!"
One young mber, looking at the still-locked gate, couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Although they had long known all about this within the organization.
Seeing it in person was still incredibly shocking.
After all, this was his first official mission.
"Is this the power of ’Deceit’? An interdinsional space that our current technology cannot observe?"
He muttered involuntarily, but he absolutely didn’t dare to touch that gate.
"Captain, what should we do next?"
The young man looked towards the middle-aged captain.
"Stay put for now, disperse unrelated targets... and wait for support!"
The middle-aged captain sighed, "Any incident involving ’Deceit’ is terribly troubleso, like this ti... unless the foundation’s directly-controlled ’Deceit Master’ is deployed, ordinary people are completely unable to break into the interdinsional space for combat... As shaful as it is, we must admit, when facing that kind of thing, even well-equipped soldiers with battle experience are no different from ordinary people."
"Deceit Master..."
The young man’s eyes filled with longing, "I wonder if there’s a way to advance... I also want to beco that kind of power wielder!"
"Get lost!"
The middle-aged captain smacked him on the head, lowering his voice, "I know your father, so let warn you, being a Deceit Master is not glory, it’s a curse! Becoming a power wielder isn’t a good thing! Rember that!"
The young man, looking at the captain’s serious face, didn’t know why, but suddenly shivered, "I understand..."
...
A mont later.
"Received!"
The middle-aged captain pressed his earpiece, whispered a few words, and looked up at his surrounding teammates, "Deceit Master Jiang Hua will soon arrive to provide support, everyone prepare to enter the mansion for a thorough investigation!"
The young man, although bowing his head, couldn’t help but feel a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Deceit Master!
True power wielders! People with supernatural abilities!
Which young heart doesn’t dream of possessing supernatural powers?
After about fifteen minutes, a figure silently erged from the darkness, strolling towards them.
Jiang Hua appeared to be a man in his fifties, with slightly graying hair, wearing a black uniform, and sporting a strange bracelet on his hand with three gems the size of pigeon eggs, looking exhausted with bloodshot eyes.
"Mr. Jiang, we’re all set up and waiting for you."
The middle-aged captain seed to recognize him and went up to greet him.
"A Deceit related to interdinsional space?"
Jiang Hua, looking at the ancient house, appeared very grave, "This type of Deceit generally has a high horror level. Actually, I don’t recomnd dealing with it before it starts moving around and killing on a large scale, especially considering it’s linked to that company..."
"There’s no choice, given the company’s recent mutation and other incidents, we are forced to investigate..."
He seed to be talking to himself, but also appeared to be explaining to the captain.
All the while walking towards the front of the mansion.
"Performing any Deceit Skill requires a price... even just ’opening a door’!"
Jiang Hua took a deep breath and exhaled complex and twisty syllables.
These notes were harsh and unpleasant, each sound seed to challenge the limits of human vocal capabilities.
It was almost as if they were not sounds that humans could make!
The captain and his subordinates had only heard a few words when an extrely uncomfortable expression appeared on their faces.
At the sa ti, Jiang Hua’s right hand fingers moved ceaselessly in the air, drawing one distorted triangle after another.
Out of the blue, every mber of the action team felt a chill in their hearts.
The darkness around them seed to have deepened even further.
In front of Jiang Hua, the void faintly fluctuated, as if another force had invaded the area.
Inside the void, those twisted triangles overlapped continuously, eventually forming the shape of a door.
An invisible space opened up, and the surrounding scene kept changing.
The door of the old house had, unknowingly, changed its state.
It was... the appearance after the chains were unlocked, the very mansion that Chu He and the others had truly entered!
The door to the other-dinsional space... had been opened!
"Let’s go in, we still need to get closer to observe."
Jiang Hua led the way inside, followed by the other mbers, while the remaining two elites, with wary expressions, continued to lurk...
...
After everyone had entered, a figure slowly erged from the dark path.
He was dressed in a security uniform and held a large black umbrella in his hand.
It was Zhong Shenxiu!
"Other forces? The Foundation, Deceit Masters? Interesting!"
A slightly insane smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, "I didn’t expect to have unexpected gains on this field research..."
Previously, the Foundation had always maintained minimal surveillance on the company, hardly even catching his attention.
But after the recent series of events, they had finally decided to start an investigation.
This ti, they had been caught red-handed.
"Deceit Masters, Deceit Skill? Interesting... The humans of this world should not possess supernatural powers... The principles of the Deceit Skill, I’m afraid, are similar to my own Deceit Skill, both utilizing the power of ’deceit’..."
He stepped forward and moved to the other side of the mansion’s wall.
After all, there were still Foundation personnel guarding the front side.
"As an employee is also one of the company’s important assets, as a security guard, it is only fitting and logical for to protect the company’s property..."
He raised the ’Ominous Umbrella’ and with the tip of the umbrella, he drew a circle on the wall.
Instantly, that side of the wall collapsed, revealing a pitch-dark void behind it.
"Such a dedicated security guard like is really rare..."
He made a sarcastic remark and walked in.
...
anwhile.
In the backhouse.
"Brother, were we really adopted?"
Yue Qin ca outside her parents’ room, her voice quivering with tears.
"Don’t think like that, the dical records might be fake..."
While trying his best to console her, Yue Shan reminisced.
His sister was too young, but he still had so mories from his childhood.
Now, as he reminisced about the faces of his parents, he found them sowhat blurred. Their care and attention during his childhood, though ticulous, seed overly deliberate, carrying a hint of distance from strangers...
Moreover, he felt a tinge of fear.
In his mories, he always had nightmares and woke up frightened at night, dreaming of two pairs of prying eyes.
But now, analyzing it, that unsettling gaze could have co from his parents!
’Could it be, I am truly... a Deceit?’
’And then, did I kill... them?’
Inside Yue Shan’s mind, a thought he couldn’t suppress suddenly erged.
Just then, he suddenly saw the door in front of him creak open.
A figure walked out from his parents’ room.
