Chapter 277 The Audacious Poodle (1/2)

Ning Tao returned to the study table again, staring fixedly at Bai Sheng’s hologram with hollow eyes. Along with the blood on his face, body, and hands, he looked like a psychopathic, cold-blooded killer who had just murdered someone.

“Hahaha!” Bai Sheng laughed heartily.

Ning Tao did not react at all, keeping the empty expression and gaze on his face.

Bai Sheng stopped after laughing for a while, saying sinisterly, “Who asked you to betray me! Those who do so can only die! Don’t you all like him? It must not feel nice to be killed by him personally, right?”

He was obviously not speaking to Ning Tao, but rather, to Qing Zhui and Bai Jing.

Ning Tao did not react at all.

Bai Sheng continued speaking, “Now, use your knife to split your own throat open.”

Ning Tao did not hesitate at all. He lifted his right arm, which was holding onto the Blade of the Solar Eclipse, and promptly cut his own throat. He held onto his own throat, blood flowing out from between his fingers. He swayed and then collapsed.

Lying on the floor, Ning Tao’s eyes were wide open like he had died with grievances and regrets. He could not see Bai Sheng’s expression, only a bit of the glow from the hologram.

“Hahaha! Dare to challenge me? You’ve only been cultivating for how many years? I don’t even need to kill you personally!” Bai Sheng’s laughter came from the study table.

Ning Tao held his breath, not making a noise.

After another two minutes, Bai Sheng’s voice came from the study table again. “Ning Tao? Ning Tao?”

Ning Tao scowled inwardly. “This damned old sly fox! You’ve already seen me slit my throat personally, but you still want to see if I’m dead?”

“Ning Tao, I know you’re still alive. Stand up.” Bai Sheng’s voice came again. It was then followed by a series of spell chanting.

The mysterious energy had never disappeared. In fact, it seemed to have increased significantly. An eerie voice resounded in Ning Tao’s head, wanting him to stand up. This energy was growing stronger continuously!

Ning Tao recited internally, “I rest within the womb, listening to the sound of the Way.”

“Dong!”

A mysterious bell faraway resounded in his consciousness. The sound of the Way was sonorous, its sound waves had washed away all the “ghostly voices” in his consciousness like a tide. Even some of his own thoughts and desires had left him, his entire being was immersed in this world of nothingness.

After another two minutes, Ning Tao heard Bai Sheng’s voice. “I see that you’re really dead. Wait until I have figured out the origin of your clinic, then I will take it over personally.”

The glow on the table surface had disappeared after the voice spoke.

Ning Tao did not get up immediately. He thought to himself, “What was that energy force? The Sky Clinic had no reaction. If I did not have ‘Your Text’ as a protection, I would have feared being unable to shake off the demonic control. If it were already this way for me, then wouldn’t the millionaires, politicians, and socialites who have acquired the Apocalypse Smartwatch be worse off?!”

After a few minutes, the Apocalypse Smartwatch made no sound at all. Ning Tao then got up from the ground. Just at that moment, that button cell was glowing and heating up. It was going to explode!

The Apocalypse Smartwatch was going to be destroyed, they were not leaving any opportunity for people to study and investigate it!

Ning Tao waved the blade and struck at the dismantled watch. With a crack, the broken watch was further broken into pieces, smashed to smithereens. Yet the button cell was still glowing and heating. The accumulated energy was growing stronger.

Before Ning Tao could handle it, a howling sound came from the good-evil tripod. Along with the sound, that button cell exploded apart. In that instant, the disintegrated button cell had released a mysterious energy. A frightening noise likened to ghastly howling and crying could vaguely be heard.

Ning Tao’s heart skipped a beat. “Could it be the energy of spirits?”

In a split second, Ning Tao activated the state of looking with his eyes, and he captured an eerie image. The image seemed to be like the blue smoke of the good-evil tripod, but there was a silhouette of a figure, with a head and a body!

The next moment, the energy inside the button cell was completely depleted.

Ning Tao did not have the chance to properly study whether or not it was the energy of the souls. It was, after all, only a guess, but there was no way to verify it.

Right after, Ning Tao picked up all the broken pieces and put them into the rotten broken tripod. He then returned to the rental apartment.

Seeing that Ning Tao’s face was covered in blood, Bai Jing and Qing Zhui, who were watching the live stream of the Asian Science Technology Forum in the living room, were frightened. Qing Zhui had even frantically approached him, her voice full of concern. “What happened to you, Brother Ning?”

Ning Tao got straight to the point. “That watch is for controlling people indeed. There might be energy of a spirit contained inside the battery. Bai Sheng has a receptor to control all the Tianqi Smartwatches. He had managed to control me with the watch just now. He made me first kill you two, then myself.”
