A person dressed in a black robe, whose face was completely obscured, stood in the clouds and sighed deeply.
He is Executor No. 37.
At this moment, he was walking helplessly in the Sky Pavilion, tiptoeing, feeling extremely suspicious, as if he were very afraid.
He continued on his journey, occasionally encountering other Executor. A lot had happened recently; the Administration was busy, and the Executor were busy as well.
Apart from the five leaders, almost all the Executor were mobilized.
The Ghost Peach Blossoms are spreading extremely fast, and we still haven't found their true form; they're like an unkillable cockroach.
No. 37 is the Executor, free to move in and out of the Sky Pavilion without any restrictions.
In fact, he had been captured by Hu Jiu not long ago.
With the help of the mole, No. 13, Hu Jiu captured and took control of No. 37, and now sent him here to gather intelligence.
At the time, Hu Jiu created a fake face for himself, and it was obviously a lie. No. 37 didn't know his true identity.
No. 37 only knew that he was now under constant surveillance and could lose his life at any moment.
Forced to become a collaborator, No. 37 initially refused, but Hu Jiu was too ruthless and seemed to Omniscience, leaving him no chance to resist...
No. 37 strongly suspects there's another mole within the Administration; otherwise, how could Ru Hua be so familiar with her own abilities?
But since things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.
He traveled without any obstacles, and when he encountered colleagues, he would simply greet them briefly, as if afraid of being recognized.
He also revealed the layout of the Sky Pavilion, as well as the abilities and weaknesses of the Executor he was familiar with.
Despite his inner resistance, his mouth was very honest, saying things he should and shouldn't have said.
Hu Jiu only learned at this point that Number 6 had already gone to Headquarters.
Numbers 1 through 5 of the Time Management Bureau are the leaders, but they don't usually show their faces. Number 6 is the actual executor, and his abilities are quite mysterious and powerful.
After walking around the Sky Loft No. 37 a while, Hu Jiu got a general understanding of the place.
Seeing that the time was right, he carefully threw out a Talisman.
The Talisman passed through the barriers of space, its destination unknown.
Soon, No. 37 felt the Sky Loft suddenly tremble violently.
Then, a ball of pink light, resembling a gathering of thousands of flying insects, fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed.
"What's that? No, it's pink... it's a peach blossom!"
As No. 37 pondered, the object landed on the cloud that held the Sky Pavilion, its pink light instantly spreading and illuminating everything around it.
The nearby buildings were torn to pieces by the enormous impact, and two unfortunate Executor were even engulfed in pink, dying without a trace.
A strange fragrance filled the air, dreamlike and intoxicating. As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, No. 37, his face pale with fright, finally saw clearly that a gigantic tree stood atop the cloud layer where a crater had been smashed.
The peach tree had flowers but no leaves. Its branches were covered with pink blossoms, the petals layered upon each other like countless tiny mouths, gently opening and closing, emitting a soft hissing sound.
Its roots spread rapidly through the clouds, as if drawing something from them. The trunk was twisted and thick, vaguely forming an androgynous human shape!
It is clearly an extremely bizarre scene, yet those who see it find it incredibly beautiful, the most beautiful thing in the world.
Without a doubt, the troublesome Ghost Peach Blossom has come knocking on our doorstep.
"It seems to be the true form of that 'Beauty Goddess'!"
"Enough talk, let's get started!"
"Don't rush, let's report to our superiors first and wait for orders before we act!"
The Executor were not of one mind; some simply ran away, while others became restless and pretended to be ready for battle.
No. 37 was at a loss, staring blankly at the scene before him.
The humanoid monster formed from the peach tree looked around, then seemingly casually grabbed one of the Executor and ripped off one of their arms with a snap.
"So fast!"
Hu Jiu, who was secretly watching this scene, was filled with shock.
That guy was too fast; Hu Jiu didn't even catch his movements before the unfortunate Executor had already fallen into his hands.
Indeed, someone who dares to call herself a "Beauty Goddess" is not only skilled at seduction, but also excels in other areas.
The unfortunate Executor who had been captured was startled and was about to resist when the tree monster seemed to have anticipated his abilities and precisely grasped his weaknesses.
Thousands of tiny tree roots pierced the unfortunate Executor's body, as if drawing something from it.
The unfortunate Executor looked on in disbelief, unable to understand why the enemy had grasped his weakness.
Hu Jiu: You're welcome. I was the one who told on you.
The unlucky Executor wasn't afraid of death; after all, he could always come back stronger after a Rollback. However, when the Fierce Ghost he controlled were dismantled and removed one by one by the tree monsters, he completely panicked.
Only the time-manipulating Fierce Ghost can guarantee that he won't be reset with a single click during Rollback. Without this crucial ghost, he's no different from ordinary people who are numbly trapped in the Rollback time and time again!
He was frantic with worry, but the tree monster gave him no chance to fight back. In just a few seconds, it drained him dry, leaving him completely dead.
Countless petals danced in the air, and peach trees rose from the clouds. From below, it looked as if a strange dark cloud had suddenly appeared in the clear sky.
