After nightfall, Lu Siye stopped cultivating. He picked up his phone and glanced at a text message from the bank.
The message indicated that 1 million dollars had been deposited into his bank account.
Lu Siye stroked his chin. Although he didn't know the source of the funds, he guessed that the 1 million dollars was likely sent by the Net.
He had only bought ten years of welfare coupons that morning, and they had sent him so much money. Did the Net view a year of lifespan as worth a hundred thousand dollars?
Speaking of the Net, they were quite honest. While they truly dealt in life and death, they also paid real money.
Knock, knock, knock!
Suddenly, the door to his rental apartment was knocked upon, and a young voice called out from outside.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, your takeout is here!"
Lu Siye turned his head towards the door and instinctively sensed the presence outside.
Hmm! There's blood energy fluctuation. Definitely a living person.
For some reason, after confirming it was a living person, he felt a slight sense of disappointment.
He quickly got up, went to the door, and opened it. After saying thank you, he took the takeout from the delivery guy.
Returning to the living room, he took out the lunchbox, disposable chopsticks, napkins, and toothpicks from the bag and placed them on the table.
Lu Siye looked around. Something seemed to be missing?
Right! He was missing a drink.
Lu Siye looked at the refrigerator in the kitchen, reached out his palm, and activated the Northern Darkness Divine Art. A suction force erupted, pulling the refrigerator door open. Then, a bottle of Ice Cola flew out from inside and landed in his hand.
After a full day of seclusion, Lu Siye's control over the Yang energy within him hadn't improved much, but his control over the suction force generated by the Northern Darkness Divine Art had significantly strengthened.
He twisted off the cap and took a swig.
"Ah~ refreshing~"
He then opened the lunchbox, and the aroma of fragrant beef fried noodles wafted towards him.
Lu Siye took a deep breath, and his appetite was instantly awakened. His hands moved like streaks of afterimages, devouring the fragrant beef fried noodles like a whirlwind.
He gently placed the lunchbox down and raised his hand to summon a packet of tissues, pulling out a sheet to wipe his mouth.
Suddenly, his movements paused, and he turned his head to look out at the balcony.
The Northern Darkness internal energy he had left on the sales assistant earlier that day was reacting!
Lu Siye shot to his feet with a whoosh. With a swish, he vanished from the living room, leaving behind the lunchbox, disposable chopsticks, and tissues scattered on the floor as if a strong wind had blown through.
In the darkness of the night, Lu Siye transformed into an afterimage, sprinting rapidly across the balconies of various buildings, heading in the direction where the Northern Darkness internal energy had reacted.
A few minutes later, Lu Siye stopped on the balcony of a low-rise building.
He looked down at the empty street below, his brow furrowed.
A broken streetlamp cast a section of the road into darkness, and the location he had sensed earlier was within that darkness.
Lu Siye leaped down from the low-rise building and arrived at the edge of the darkness.
He concentrated his Yang energy on his eyes. The darkness before him changed its form, appearing like an invisible, pitch-black water curtain, isolating this area.
Lu Siye reached out and poked the water curtain. A chilling sensation emanated from it.
A Ghost Wall?
He narrowed his eyes, placed his hand over the water curtain, and a suction force erupted, clearing a large portion of the water curtain in an instant.
Lu Siye seized the opportunity and plunged in.
A Ghost Wall, huh? Your Fourth Master will break through it today!
On the empty and silent street, Zhuang Xiaoman was fleeing in panic. One of her high heels had come off.
She kept looking back at the darkness, which was getting closer and closer like a tide, her face filled with terror.
Suddenly, her foot seemed to catch on something, and she stumbled, falling heavily to the ground.
She looked down and saw that the heel of her shoe had broken off and was stuck in a crack in the ground not far away.
"Little sister, stay and play ball with us!"
Just as Zhuang Xiaoman struggled to get up and continue her escape, two childlike voices sounded behind her.
When?
Zhuang Xiaoman trembled like a sieve. She stiffly turned her head to look behind her and was met with a huge head, a rotten stench filling the air.
"Ah!!!" Zhuang Xiaoman screamed, kicking her feet on the ground as she retreated helplessly.
As she continued to retreat, her movements stopped. She felt like she had bumped into something cold.
Stiffly looking up, she saw another boy, his pure black eyes staring intently at her.
"Little sister, you don't want to play with us, do you think our ball isn't pretty?" The boy crouched down, propping his head with his hands, and asked Zhuang Xiaoman innocently.
"N-no..." Zhuang Xiaoman was so terrified that she could barely speak coherently.
"See? The big sister says this ball isn't pretty," the boy said, standing up and addressing another boy.
"If it's not pretty, then let's change it. I think using the big sister's head to make a ball would be much prettier." The boy tossed the human head in his hand aside, tilting his head and looking at her with a sinister grin.
"No... no..." Zhuang Xiaoman squeezed herself into the corner, her heart filled with helplessness. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, her exquisite makeup smudging slightly.
"Big sister, stay and be our ball!" The two boys slowly approached, an infinite malice radiating from them.
"Be my ass for a ball!"
Suddenly, a furious roar exploded in the ears of the one person and two ghosts.
"Who?" The two boys immediately turned around, looking in the direction of the voice.
However, they hadn't spotted anyone yet, but they saw a glowing red Tang Heng Blade slash through the pitch-black night sky, heading towards them.
Not good!
[Twin Ghost Infants panic, Fear Points +156!]
The ghost infants startled. They wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. The blade was too fast.
Squelch!
The Blazing Blood Blade, with its immense impact force, directly pierced the chest of one of the ghost infants. The blade protruding from its back, with residual force, was powerfully embedded into the ground.
"Ah!!"
"Ah!!"
Both ghost infants let out piercing screams simultaneously. The other ghost infant, the one not hit, also developed a strange, penetrating wound on its chest.
[Ding~ Fear Points...]
"Brother, save me!" The ghost infant pinned to the ground cried out in pain.
"Little brother, wait for me!" The ghost infant's brother, enduring the pain, rushed towards his sibling.
"Do you two think you can just ignore me?" Suddenly, a chilling voice exploded in the ghost infant brother's ear, making its scalp tingle.
[Twin Ghost Infants terrified, When did he get here? Fear Points +198!]
Before it could even react, it felt a large hand grab its head. Its body was uncontrollably slammed onto the ground, smashing through the concrete road and flying out.
Lu Siye lifted the ghost infant from the ground. The suction in his palm erupted, and cold Yin energy was forcibly extracted from the ghost infant's body.
"Please, let me go!"
[Ding...]
The ghost infant screamed in agony. Its dark green ghost hand grabbed Lu Siye's wrist, attempting to break it to save itself.
Sizzle~
The moment the ghost hand touched Lu Siye's wrist, it made a sizzling sound, like raw flesh hitting a searing hot iron plate. A wisp of green smoke rose.
"No, you can't kill me! If you kill me, my master won't let you off!" The ghost infant, having failed to save itself, sensed its Yin energy source continuously draining. Its dark eyes were filled with terror.
[Ding...]
"Just have him come!" Lu Siye said calmly, his grip tightening.
"No!!!"
The two ghost infants cried out in terror, dissolving into wisps of green smoke and vanishing into the air at the same time.
[Ding~ Twin Ghost Infants dead (Evil Ghost), Fear Points +200!]
Clink~
A silvery-white object fell from beneath the ghost infants, hitting the ground with a clear sound.
