Chapter 231: Chapter 233: Covering the Sky with One Hand, Cutting Off Your Hand
After so hesitation, Wang Ge finally said he would go back and think about it; Qin Muye’s accelerated training was too slow.
Qin Muye didn’t bother with that; he had given the opportunity, and if he didn’t seize it, there would be no future.
He’s going back to consider? Does he really think Qin Muye’s place is a gym where you can train whenever you want?
Don’t even think about next ti, even if he kneels and begs, Qin Muye won’t teach him.
Upon returning to his dormitory, he casually flipped through various books, mostly historical, folk, and so taphysical books, but found no diary.
After all, what decent person keeps a diary?
...
Therefore, Qin Muye found no records related to his own identity.
Having just finished reading all the books, and while considering where to dig deeper into this identity, he heard a knock at the door.
He opened the door and saw several Law Enforcers, which puzzled him.
“Li Yan, right? You are suspected of intentional harm. Co with us,” said the other party as soon as they saw Qin Muye.
These words made Qin Muye narrow his eyes, “Intentional harm, could you tell who the victim is?”
“Sun Sanguo, the one you called the police on. You broke his right hand. Security personnel from Qing Xia have already testified on his behalf,” said the other with a business-like tone.
“Oh, Brother Dog, I understand now, but I want to ask, is everything you just said true?” The magic power of manipulation surged, entering the mind of the Law Enforcer before him.
“False, Sun Sanguo’s hand was broken by themselves, and the people from Qing Xia’s security helped to make false testimony. I took money to arrest you to teach you a lesson, better break both your hands,” the head Law Enforcer said, looking dazed.
The other Law Enforcers beside him changed their expression, not expecting their Captain to be so candid.
“Very well, then tell about this Young Master Shi, who seems to have such influence,” Qin Muye casually pulled up a chair and sat down.
“The eldest son of the Shi Family, heir to the Shi Corporation.”
“The veins of the Shi Corporation spread throughout Purple Flower City, from the Magistrate down to the common peddlers, all under Shi’s control,” the other accurately stated.
The statent made the other Law Enforcers think about restraining him, only to find themselves inexplicably unable to move.
“I see, a financial tycoon and an aristocratic family, huh? Tsk, I didn’t expect there would still be remnants of such things.” Qin Muye was sowhat surprised; he had thought this was a modern world but hadn’t expected such relics to exist.
After a thorough questioning, Qin Muye realized that this so-called Shi Family was indeed an aristocratic and financial tycoon family, which had reached such levels through exploiting policies and benefits without sufficient militaristic support, much like a castle in the air.
To take action against the Shi Family would be as simple as a word from above, but the upward flow of benefits was sufficient, coupled with backers in the court, allowing them to dominate the region.
“Alright, that’ll be it; you can go back now. Just say that the lesson has been given,” Qin Muye waved his hand and then signaled for them to leave.
The few Law Enforcers left in a daze, under Qin Muye’s direction. As for taking soone with them? How could that be possible.
And Qin Muye, upon returning to his room, had a dark expression. He thought he was cautious enough but at least had so self-awareness to know right from wrong.
The next mont, dozens of Evangelical Spirit Monsters were summoned by him and then transmitted the intelligence via the Magic Network.
“Go wipe out the Shi Family for , leave none alive, also make it look like they committed suicide by shooting themselves ten tis in the back, just leave Young Master Shi alive,” Qin Muye maintained the principle of not provoking others unless provoked, but if soone refused to let Qin Muye go, then he certainly wouldn’t spare their entire family.
“Also, deal with that Brother Dog and Qing Xia’s security personnel along with those few bribe-taking Law Enforcers; make sure their deaths are varied and accidental if possible.”
Young Master Shi hadn’t even t Qin Muye yet, just because he maintained classroom order, they wanted both his hands?
Then Qin Muye taking the lives of his entire family wasn’t too much.
As for Young Master Shi, of course, he needed to be left alive.
Otherwise, how would he experience the vicissitudes of human relationships?
The other party had such influence, not because of himself but because of his family mbers. Without them, he wouldn’t have the ans to be arrogant; even retaining the family’s wealth was uncertain, and he might even be forced to take his own life in a few days.
A host of Spirit Monsters, after impersonating and hiding their bodies, left Qin Muye’s dormitory and started moving on their own accord.
Qin Muye didn’t need to provide enough intelligence; the Evangelical Spirit Monsters could gather that themselves. Otherwise, if Qin Muye had to do everything and just have them execute it, what would he need them for? His subordinates were there to solve his problems.
“Right upon arriving, I encounter such misfortune. Indeed, it’s either everyone perishes or I’m the sole survivor. This damn ‘Skill’ really sucks.”
Though it wasn’t his first encounter with a protagonist’s temporary skill, these skills had now turned him into a star of calamity. Previously, it might have been bearable, targeted only at Qin Muye, but now it had escalated to indiscriminate attacks.
Despite the description being a total annihilation, this calamity alone suggests so troubleso effects.
The previous Li Yan didn’t have so many troubles, simply attending classes every day, leading a rather peaceful life.
So, it absolutely had to be the temporary skill’s fault, or else such misfortune wouldn’t occur.
“Sigh, trying to be a good person is truly difficult, with all the ntion of financial tycoons and such. Is there no proper setting?” Qin Muye sighed.
He always felt that this seemingly proper, modern technological society might not be that straightforward; there might not be any King of Soldiers, but Extraordinary Powers seed to exist.
Qin Muye, using the computer as a dium, extensively hacked into the world’s networks via the Magic Network.
Soon, Qin Muye discovered so scattered pieces of information, although the network security was very tight.
Truly confidential material was unlikely to be connected to the internet, rather, it was secured through physical disconnection creating intranets or local area networks, using two separate systems. Hence, through the Magic Network, Qin Muye couldn’t access these physically disconnected devices.
As for things like the dark web, he found plenty, but they weren’t the networks where Transcendents congregated, rather, they involved distasteful acts like extre performances, human trafficking, and other dirty dealings.
He did find a trace of sothing, and it filtered out information related to Shadows, like… Shadows living.
Unfortunately, the video was invalid, probably because the data was forcefully cleared, so it wasn’t viewable.
“World of Shadows, certainly has sothing to do with Shadows, just not sure what exactly it is.” Qin Muye found it quite peculiar.
Shadows are essentially an optical phenonon, ford by the blocking of light by objects where it cannot pass through opaque objects, creating darker areas.
There was nothing special as he had studied it; his shadow was just a shadow, and so were other people’s.
“There might be sothing about this that I don’t know.”
This world seed to have no energy environnt, but who knew the actual situation.
When it’s ti to act, don’t hesitate, but when it’s ti to lay low, don’t ss around.
Naturally, the Shi Family that could bring him trouble needed to be dealt with, and the Transcendents might involve so powerful beings, so caution was essential.
The disappearance of the Shi Family might be a big deal locally, but at higher levels, it was a minor issue, no different than a Skeleton Soldier dying in Qin Muye’s territory without him hearing about it—just replace it with another Skeleton Soldier.
The living Shi Family might have more than just status, but a dead Shi Family, likely had even lower status with everyone looking to share the spoils rather than seeking revenge for the Shi Family.
Especially powers like the Magistrate and the wealthy, none would miss the chance at the Shi Family’s huge wealth—the forr regaining authority and not being a puppet anymore, the latter progressing further by acquiring the inheritance.
As for the cause of death, naturally, soone would investigate it, but how they investigated was none of their concern.
And if they ca after Qin Muye, he’d just manipulate them, ensuring they’d return saying Qin Muye was completely without suspicion.
“This history seems a bit problematic?” Qin Muye thought that since he had no clues at hand, he might as well start from history, folklore, and the like.
Tell you what, as he searched, he really did find problems.
Others might not notice, but he detected a certain disjointed feeling, as if the entire history had been erased of sothing.
Like… Transcendents!
