Chapter 28 (1/2)

It was a quiet night. The city plaza was empty, the street lights surrounding it barely lighting the place up.

“You’re finally here.”

Spoke Qi Tao who stood in the plaza, a woman in his embrace. With a fling of his arm, she was flung onto a flowerbed quite a distance away. Despite the throw, the woman barely uttered a sound.

Opposite him stood Vigilante A.

“Let me guess who hired you to take revenge on me. Was it that useless upstart that had fainted because I got him angry? Or was it the prince of the Qi family, worried I would threaten his position, or that I would one day end up angering the wrong people with my arrogance and affecting the Qi family’s development, Qi Ye? Or did you find out that I used to be a terrible bully, and even captured people to let my grandfather use them to conduct experiments using the Golden Needle of Internal Energy?”

Qi Tao’s expression radiated confidence. The bratty and domineering aura at the banquet was barely half of his current state.

Within the System Space.

Fang Ning said, “This idiot seems to be purposely baiting us? It seems that his taunting previously wasn’t done without purpose. What is his aim?”

“I don’t know,” answered the System.

“Could it be that he obtains power after killing the strong, just like us? Or at least something similar?”

“Maybe.”

“Then are you certain you can defeat him?”

“I still need only one move.”

“Then I’m going to continue playing…”

“Sure sure, but when I call for you, you are to appear immediately.”

Qi Tao noticed that even after listening to him speak, Vigilante A remained in his spot, expression unchanged.

He shook his head lightly, “That won’t do. I don’t like it when my prey dies expressionless, it takes the fun out of everything. Let me tell you, it really isn’t fun at all. You must be like them instead…”

Right after he finished speaking, Qi Tao’s silhouette split into half, and two more people emerged from his body!

Right after appearing, the pair leaped towards the flower bed in the distance and grabbed two men in suits, who were immediately thrown onto the ground with a “bang”.

They covered their mouths with their hands and coughed into them, only to pale in the face when they saw all the blood on their palms.

“Look at that! That kind of fearful expression makes things fun! You see, humans are such amusing toys. All those emotions rapidly changing is such a sight to see!”

Qi Tao looked towards the sky and breathed in deeply, an indulgent look on his face.

“Hey, you two! You should be Feng Niao’s people right? Who hired you?”

“We’re not hostile, we’re just spies, nobody hired us! We’re just gathering information,” answered one of the men, Qi Tao made him feel unspeakable fear.

“Haha, if you both were hostile, do you think you’ll still be alive now?” said Qi Tao frankly.

“Our play will need an audience, so consider you both very lucky, for there’s no need for you to die yet…” continued Qi Tao while looking at Vigilante A.

“Wow, what a strong body, is that why you’re not afraid? Because you think you’re strong enough? Oh yeah, you’ve killed your fair share of strong people. But the thing about me is that I enjoy watching strong people get angry and get scared. A lot of strong people that think they’re all that don’t get scared at first, they get angry instead. Then when they realize how powerless they truly are, the fear creeps in and they start sobbing, begging me to let them go. Since you’re not afraid, I’ll summon more people and you’ll know what true fear is…”

Qi Tao smiled as he spoke, while more and more people kept rushing out of his body. There were males and females, both young and old, and there were even children and babies… Each person that came out had a blank look on their face as they hovered in mid-air, trapping Fang Ning and Feng Niao’s spies in the middle of a circle.

The spies, on the other hand, were paralyzed with fear. They knew that they were smack in the middle of a supernatural incident that was above the organization’s D grade. An incident of this grade could no longer be solved with material things like guns or Kung Fu; only mystical powers could be used to deal with it.

“Sh*t, A32. Are we going to die on our first mission?” asked the first spy as he embraced his partner.

“Don’t be afraid, at least we won’t be the first ones that do,” answered the second spy, returning his partner’s embrace.

“You’re only making me more afraid…” warbled the first spy, tears threatening to spill.

Vigilante A’s expression remained unchanged as he watched on. It felt like he was putting on a show.

“That’s no fun. Aren’t you scared?” Qi Tao shook his head, expressing his disbelief at the situation.

Actually, Vigilante A’s true identity, Fang Ning, was just as scared as the two spies. The only difference was that he had somewhere safe to hide, whereas the pair of spies had no other choice but to stay where they were.

Although he was playing in the System Cyber Café just now, some of the ghostly wails and faces from the outside were still being projected into his brain.

This was more than enough to scare him into stopping his game before running to cower by the blacksmith’s forge for security. Fang Ning then said, “I’m about to be scared shitless. Oh System, out of the four people alive right now, you’re the only one that doesn’t know fear. So stop spacing out and do your thing to exterminate this monster!”

The System answered, “Hold up. I want to see what it still has up its sleeves, which would make it easier for me to roughly estimate this enemy’s powers. I’ll only need one move to deal with it anyway.”

“You better don’t mess it up. I’m afraid I don’t have any good ideas in dealing with spirits and whatnot.”
