Only the Dead Obey

After using her disguise skill, Yu Xunge used cash to buy various tools needed for Alchemy at a store, as well as weapons like crossbows, long sabers, and stun batons.

That day, she also tested more features of the skill [Only the Dead Obey].

When she instructed the thrush to stay still on the table, it only consumed 2 points over 12 hours. However, the dead thrush had already begun to emit a faint odor.

It seemed that while this skill could allow the deceased to maintain their mobility, it couldn't prevent the decay of their bodies.

That evening, Yu Xunge drove to a mall near Liu Hongsheng's home. She then used Skill 4, [Armor Up!], from her God of Thieves talent in the restroom. After changing into another set of clothes stored in her game backpack, she exited the stall. Looking at the completely unfamiliar woman in the mirror, she couldn't help but gasp; game talent skills were truly the most unscientific things.

Not only had her height and face changed, but even her hair had become shorter.

Yu Xunge hailed a taxi. In just 7 minutes, she arrived downstairs from the apartment building where Liu Hongsheng lived. Her thrush had been following him since he left work that day. Although she didn't understand why he hadn't returned to the villa, Yu Xunge didn't care.

Yu Xunge paid the driver in cash and got out of the car.

Three minutes later, Yu Xunge rang Liu Hongshan's doorbell.

The door was opened by a charming and alluring woman wearing a sexy slip dress. She glanced at Yu Xunge and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Yu Xunge replied formally, "I'm looking for my boss, Liu Hongsheng. I have some urgent work matters to report."

The woman nodded and opened the outer door, letting her in. Her expression was unreadable. There was the sound of water from the bedroom, suggesting Liu Hongsheng was showering. Yu Xunge said, "Can I wait for him in the study? Just tell him that an agent named Liu has something important to tell him, and he'll understand."

The woman seemed good-natured. After leading Yu Xunge into the study, she even poured her a glass of water.

Yu Xunge stood behind the door, took out the stun baton from her spatial storage, and gripped it in her hand. She felt only excitement, no fear. Sometimes she wondered if she was naturally inclined to adventure. Otherwise, during her countless brushes with death in her previous life, she had only felt exhilaration, not pain?

Soon, the sound of water stopped, and the voices of a man and a woman could be heard. After a while, someone approached the study.

The door opened, obscuring Yu Xunge's figure. As the familiar figure walked into the study, Yu Xunge closed the door with her left hand and pressed the stun baton in her right hand against Liu Hongsheng's neck.

A few seconds later, he convulsed and fell. Yu Xunge turned the stun baton to its maximum power and pressed it against Liu Hongsheng's heart without letting go. Five minutes later, he stopped moving. Yu Xunge attempted to use the skill [Only the Dead Obey] on Liu Hongsheng. The next second, Liu Hongsheng opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat vacant.

She controlled Liu Hongsheng to stand up and then had him escort her out of the study, bidding farewell to her under the woman's gaze.

By the time Yu Xunge got into a car heading to a nearby mall, her disguise had 17 minutes remaining.

She closed her eyes and controlled Liu Hongsheng to say goodbye to the woman, then had Liu Hongsheng text Liu Zhengliu to arrange a meeting at her office.

Liu Zhengliu was buying wine, contemplating where to arrange a drink with Yu Xunge the next day so that Liu Hongsheng could make his move while she could distance herself.

To be honest, Yu Xunge treated her very well. The salary and benefits were high, and even after becoming famous, she hadn't discarded her. However, there were no profit shares. Those top agents could get profit shares from their artists, but every time she brought it up, she was rejected.

Liu Zhengliu didn't want to betray Yu Xunge, but the conditions offered by Liu Hongsheng were too good. As long as she could keep Yu Xunge under control, she would be used to appease the company's partners. At that time, the money she earned would not only allow her to get a share but he had also promised to let her manage several new trainees from this year's talent shows...

As she was daydreaming about the future, she received a text message from Liu Hongsheng.

Liu Zhengliu didn't suspect anything. They were both seasoned professionals; such schemes wouldn't leave any written information and were usually discussed in person.

She returned to the company carrying her wine and bag. There were still over a dozen young people working overtime. Liu Zhengliu smiled at them, even ordering them supper in front of them. Then, amidst their expressions of gratitude, she entered Liu Hongsheng's office.

Yu Xunge had no perversion for having a corpse engage in relations with her enemy. After Liu Zhengliu entered the office, she controlled Liu Hongsheng to place the knife into Liu Zhengliu's hand.

Liu Zhengliu was still bewildered:?

Then she watched as Liu Hongsheng tightly gripped her hand holding the knife with his own cold hands and forcefully plunged it into his own stomach.

In extreme fear and panic, Liu Zhengliu couldn't even scream. She just stared blankly as the already cold blood seeped out extremely slowly from the wound, sliding over her hand.

Just as Liu Zhengliu's brain was overloaded, Liu Hongsheng suddenly grabbed his stomach where the knife was and ran out, looking at Liu Zhengliu in terror as he ran, letting out terrified "Ah—Ah!!" sounds.

Liu Zhengliu felt as if it were all a dream and didn't dare to move, unsure if she had woken up.

Yu Xunge's magic power was draining rapidly, consuming 1 point of magic power almost every minute. She only had 3 points left, but it was enough.

After Liu Hongsheng, clutching his stomach, ran past the dozen or so interns, he walked to the window. Seeing no one below, he leaped off.

Yu Xunge clutched her head, dizzy from her depleted magic power. Although she had plenty of magic potions, she was at home now and could wait for it to recover automatically, at a rate of 1 point per minute. In just over three hours, it would be full again. If she continued to eat meat, it would be even faster, recovering 5 points of health and magic power per minute.

The next day, Yu Xunge was woken by the doorbell. When she opened the door, a security guard and two police officers, a man and a woman, were standing outside. Yu Xunge controlled her thrush to fly outside and wait. However, with a suitably surprised expression, she invited the two police officers inside.

After pouring two glasses of water for her guests, the police asked if she knew the relationship between Liu Hongsheng and Liu Zhengliu.

Yu Xunge pursed her lips, silently expressing her reluctance.

Under the police's repeated requests, she finally said, "Yes, and I also know that Liu Zhengliu intended to scheme against me."

She could have pretended not to know, but that wouldn't explain her recent unusual behavior. Not only had she taken three days off consecutively, acting like a diva, but she, who was so attached to home, was now living alone in her villa. Regardless of whether the police had investigated this thoroughly, she would answer as if they already possessed this information.

The two police officers' expressions were clearly well-controlled, showing nothing on the surface. However, after another ten minutes of questioning, they prepared to leave. Yu Xunge then asked, "May I ask, what crime did they commit that led to their arrest?"

The police gave an official answer, telling her to await further notice.

In the afternoon, Yu Xunge received a call from Yu Qingshan. His voice was gentle and loving as he asked if she had encountered any difficulties, expressed concern for her health, and told her to rest if she was tired.

Having acted in so many plays, Yu Xunge's voice was choked with emotion yet held a hint of strength as she said she was indeed tired and needed to rest. She added that her agent and the company seemed to have run into trouble as well, her money had all been invested, and she was under a lot of pressure.

Without any hesitation, before the call even ended, he transferred one million yuan: "Dad has money, go ahead and spend it, my good girl!"

After hanging up the phone, Yu Xunge stood by the window expressionlessly, looking at the lake not far away.

Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan were like top-tier anglers. When they wanted a big fish, they would provide excellent bait and occasionally let out more line to make the fish relax its guard.
