Encountering Black Abyss Again

"You bastard!" Lu Siye cursed through gritted teeth, looking down at the ball of light from the rooftop.

Over three hours! A full three hours!

From the West District to the South District, and then to the City Center. The Ghost Head Infant seemed to know it was being followed, leading Lu Siye on a chase for most of the night, making him drink the southeast wind.

However, to completely eliminate the menace of Black Abyss, Lu Siye gritted his teeth and decided to endure it.

A small impatience can ruin great plans!

Finally, after another half hour, the Ghost Head Infant's path showed a slight change.

It began to intentionally or unintentionally approach the North District, a change that made Lu Siye's spirit surge. He immediately and quietly followed.

The further north they went, the straighter the Ghost Head Infant's path became.

Finally, on a deserted road on the outskirts of the North District, the Ghost Head Infant emerged from a sewer opening.

It was filthy, its hands and feet caked with mud that had almost solidified.

The Ghost Head Infant cautiously observed its surroundings for a moment, confirming there were no people or surveillance cameras. It then stumbled into a self-built house by the roadside.

"You're back? How did things go?" In the living room of the house, Black Abyss sat cross-legged on the floor, black mist swirling around him.

On the floor beside him, a mysterious array, shimmering with an eerie red light, was drawn in blood.

In the center of the array was a chubby little boy, who looked only three or four years old.

At the edges of the array lay a young man and woman, both unconscious from excessive blood loss.

Their wrists had been cut open, and blood continuously flowed out, being absorbed by the array.

"Master! The mission failed. Not only has that man's injuries completely healed, but his strength has also broken through. I almost didn't make it back," the Ghost Head Infant said pitifully.

"Oh? You fought him?" The black mist around Black Abyss receded, and he opened his eyes. After glancing at the array on the floor, he then noticed the Ghost Head Infant's empty arm and its muddy state.

Now they were both one-armed!

"Y-yes!" The Ghost Head Infant nodded, bracing itself.

"Useless. I sent you to ambush a severely injured Night Patrol Envoy, and you still gave him time to recover."

Black Abyss looked at the Ghost Head Infant's miserable state, and instead of offering comfort, he berated it fiercely.

"Yes, yes, yes, this little ghost is useless!" The Ghost Head Infant trembled, prostrating itself on the ground, its twisted infant face pressed against the floor.

Its life was in the other's hands, so it had to be submissive when necessary.

Although it spoke submissively, it was inwardly defiant.

I'm useless, I'm just a small Evil Ghost, it's normal that I can't win. But you're a Night Wanderer Envoy, did YOU win?

"Hmph! Once this Star Lord's array is complete and my arm is repaired, I'll deal with that damned human," Black Abyss snorted coldly after observing the array for a while.

"Right! You useless thing, you didn't lure that person here, did you?" Black Abyss suddenly turned to look at the Ghost Head Infant. When he mentioned that person, his wound seemed to ache.

"No... absolutely not. This little ghost deliberately ran around in the sewers for most of the night. Even if that person had heaven-defying abilities, they definitely couldn't have followed," the Ghost Head Infant said, looking up with a fearful expression.

"Oh~ is that so? But I did follow." As the words fell, Lu Siye, holding the Blazing Blood Blade, suddenly appeared in the living room.

Before they could react, a tremendous force slammed into Black Abyss's chest, sending him flying.

Just as Black Abyss was about to crash through the wall, Lu Siye suddenly appeared behind him and kicked him back to his original position, pinning the Ghost Head Infant beneath him.

"Cough, cough!" A pained cough erupted. Black Abyss propped himself up and looked forward, his eyes meeting Lu Siye's.

"Master, are you okay... hiss..." The Ghost Head Infant also got up, and upon seeing Lu Siye, it gasped.

The one-man, one-ghost duo suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, and their shoulders began to ache. With a shared understanding, they instantly retreated to the window, ready to flee.

[Gao Song is terrified, you useless ghost infant dared to sell me out! Fear Points +748!]

[Ghost Head Infant is shaken, how did this killing star follow? Fear Points +99!]

Suddenly, the Ghost Head Infant felt a chill on its scalp. It looked up and met Black Abyss's furious gaze.

The Ghost Head Infant's heart trembled, and it put on a pitiful expression.

Master, if I told you I knew nothing about this, would you believe me?

But Black Abyss's eyes, filled with a mixture of rage and fear, clearly told it his answer: I wouldn't believe you if you said you didn't!

Meanwhile, Lu Siye stood around the mysterious array, looking at the three people on the ground with suppressed fury in his eyes.

In the center of the array was the polite little boy he had seen at the rice noodle shop that morning, and beside him were the young couple.

He still remembered the sweet taste of the White Rabbit candy the little boy had given him.

"Damn it!" Lu Siye was now burning with rage. He stomped his foot forward, and scorching Blood Essence and Yang energy spread from his body, covering the array.

Sizzle~

The mysterious array let out a sizzling, strange sound the moment it came into contact with the Blood Essence and Yang energy. The eerie red light gradually weakened, and after a few seconds, the array was completely erased.

While Lu Siye was dealing with the array and unable to deal with them, Black Abyss and the Ghost Head Infant seized the opportunity, leaped out the window, and vanished into the night.

Lu Siye glanced out the window but didn't pursue them.

With the punch he had landed on Black Abyss's chest earlier, Lu Siye had already silently injected the Life and Death Talisman into his body.

They can't escape!

He quickly went to the young couple's side. Lu Siye released his Blood Essence, temporarily sealing the wounds on their wrists, and left a trace of Blood Essence within them and the little boy to ensure they wouldn't die in the short term.

Afterward, Lu Siye carried the family of three to the sofa and circulated his internal energy to absorb the faint Yin energy lingering within them.

Having finished this, Lu Siye took out his phone, found Wang Wenjing's contact information, and called her.

After a while, she finally answered his call, her familiar voice coming through.

"What's up, Brother Lu?" Wang Wenjing's breathing sounded a bit unstable, as if she had just finished a battle.

"Are you still in the North District?" Lu Siye remembered that Wang Wenjing lived in the North District.

"Yes! Brother Lu, are you in the North District now?" Wang Wenjing on the other end of the line instantly guessed Lu Siye's location.

"Yes! I'll send you a location. There are three citizens here on the brink of death. If you have time, come over. I have other matters to attend to!" Lu Siye glanced at the family of three on the sofa and explained briefly.

"Okay!" Wang Wenjing didn't waste any words and hung up the phone.

The next second, her phone received Lu Siye's message, a map location in the suburbs of the North District, less than three kilometers away from her.

'I'll be there in one minute.'

'Okay!'

After receiving the message, Lu Siye walked to the window and stood there, squinting as he looked at two faint clusters of light in the distance.
