He thought of something that terrified him.

That is, he didn't see the opponent's attack.

What does this mean? It means that if he hadn't had the protective bracelet, he might already be dead.

This possibility instantly robbed Amakusa of the courage to continue fighting. It was true that he was powerful, but the stronger a person is, the more afraid they are of death.

His goal in becoming stronger was to prevent his life from being threatened.

However, once he realized that someone could easily kill him, Amakusa immediately abandoned the fight.

"Li, I concede!"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly discovered something that nearly made him wet his pants: the black sword in the other person's hand was now pressed against his neck.

He could feel the chill of the sword's edge on his delicate skin, a sensation that almost brought him to tears.

Li Wei frowned, staring intently at Amakusa in front of him.

The reason he stopped wielding his sword was the sound Amakusa had just made.

"Woman?"

Amakusa, however, realized he was in trouble. In his haste, he hadn't used his voice-changing technique to alter his original voice, and he...

Actually, it was her, but at that moment, she didn't dare to move an inch, since the other person was still pressed against her neck.

"Woman?"

Li Wei asked another question.

At this moment, Amakusa really wanted to cry. This person was just too much! Since he already saw through her, why did he keep asking? Didn't he think he had humiliated her enough?

However, she didn't want to die, so she could only nod. But her bright eyes became somewhat moist.

"What do you mean by saying you admit defeat?" Li Wei's sword remained stationary.

This filled Amakusa with a deep, agonizing hatred.

"I surrender. As long as you don't kill me, I will take back the bait order and will never oppose you again!" Amakusa showed a pitiful expression.

She was clearly wearing makeup. Looking at her now, she did have a rather peculiar appearance. Furthermore, she was extremely tall, and her clothes were obviously padded, making her appear like a man.

"Admit defeat?" Li Wei's eyes darted around, and he suddenly thought of something.

Since the real world is about to undergo tremendous changes that are unstoppable, I should do as the Daoist said and prepare for the coming New World.

Indeed, the future rulers of the world will be the Reincarnators, and a fierce conflict is bound to occur. He needs powerful subordinates, and this woman in front of him is undoubtedly a good choice.

But how can I get her to work for me?

Suddenly, Li Wei thought of something.

"I don't believe you. I only injured one of your men, and you issued an arrest warrant and even tried to kill me. If I don't kill you, do you expect me to wait until you get stronger before you try to kill me?" Li Wei revealed a fierce expression.

"No, no! I swear, I will never come looking for you again. If I break this promise, may I die a horrible death, my face be covered in sores, and my children be born without an anus!" Please, don't kill me! Feeling the blade move, Amakusa's face turned almost adorably pale.

"I'm giving you this. You should know what to do. If you resist or disagree, I'll kill you right now!" Li Wei suddenly unleashed a terrifying killing intent.

Amakusa took something from Li Wei's hand, looked at it, and immediately blushed to the roots of her neck.

"You... you bastard, I'd rather die than agree!"

Her response was a sharp pain; a cut had been made on her neck. She looked into Li Wei's eyes; he truly meant to kill her.

She panicked.

Amakusa only knew that she couldn't die; there were still those children waiting for her in the real world.

We can't die!

She knew exactly what she was holding, and she knew the consequences of accepting it, but she had no choice at the moment.

With a look of hatred in his eyes at Li Wei, Amakusa pressed the Slave Brand in his hand onto his arm.

Only after seeing the prompt on the Yellow Paper did Li Wei chuckle and move the Black Spiral Sword away.

Slaves are forbidden from attacking their masters; this is a fundamental law. No one can violate it, so Li Wei was absolutely not worried that the other party would make a move at this moment.

Amakusa, who had been rescued and given a second Amakusa at life, stood motionless, unsure of what to do.

She didn't know what to do, but the onlookers in the distance were already in an uproar.

In fact, they didn't hear Li Wei and Amakusa's conversation, but the final result was obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

Amakusa has clearly lost.

"Haha, what did I tell you? This time, I've made tens of thousands of points for nothing, hahaha!" The reincarnator who bet on Li Wei to win was beaming with joy.

The reincarnator who had staked his points on Amakusa looked rather unlucky. However, a mere number of points wasn't a significant amount for a reincarnator of their level.

"Be careful of that guy with the heart symbol in the future; he's not someone to mess with!"

All the seasoned veterans came to the same conclusion: in the end, none of them saw how Li Wei swung his sword; it was as if the sword had always been there.

"Go back to your room. Do what you need to do. If you need anything, I can contact you, or you can contact me!" Li Wei said, looking at Amakusa who was standing there, unsure of what to do.

However, he failed to notice the ambiguity in his words.

If there is a need, then...?

What was that need? Amakusa wasn't someone who knew nothing; she naturally knew what the man was thinking, but she had already been forced to accept it. Even she couldn't disobey her master's will.

But can she still resist now?

The look in your eyes as you stared at Li Wei was already slightly misty.

However, Li Wei had already turned and left. He didn't want to stay in this place any longer. He already knew what he needed to know, and there were too many things he needed to do in that next step.

Shadow Street, the Free Market, was still bustling with activity. After Li Wei and Zheng Yutong met up, they found a secluded spot.

He first tossed several "Insight Technique" he had collected in the Shadow Hall to everyone before reciting the message on the Black Paper.

"You led the army to take down those black mists?" Xue Yan looked Li Wei up and down, her face full of disbelief. "You wouldn't happen to be... that secret department... right?"

Among this group, only Xue Yan had the opportunity to access many secrets that ordinary people could not know. After all, her family background was what it was, and the "secret department" was considered highly confidential. She only happened to see this code name when she was sorting through her grandfather's belongings.

As for the legend of Number One, it had long been circulating in the army. Not to mention her, many scions of noble families regarded Number One as an idol, after all, Number One's command in that battle could be regarded as a feat that saved the world.

"That's not the point. The important thing is that you need to make arrangements for your family members in the next few days. Xue Yan, I will give you enough points to buy gold, and then find a safe place in the real world to bring your relatives and friends there. Remember, we only have 6 days."

"Also, find some trustworthy reincarnated friends and tell them this news. That way, even if we leave due to a mandatory mission, they can guard that hiding place for us!"

"Then, let's not delay, let's go!"

After parting ways with the others, Li Wei instructed Zheng Yutong to be careful, and then opened a portal to the real world.

A flash of light, Li Wei first turned on his phone and called his father in the countryside, telling him that someone would come to pick him up in two days at most, and that he must cooperate.

Li Wei believed that Xue Yan could handle this matter, and she would send someone to pick up his father.

After taking care of the matter, Li Wei thought for a moment and, instead of returning to his home which he hadn't been to in a long time, went to a nearby internet cafe and went inside.

If you want to know what's happening in the world, watching TV news isn't enough; the internet is clearly much more comprehensive and accurate at this time.

Netizens won't have any reservations; they'll expose a lot of things, just like the post Li Wei is seeing right now.

"Oh my god, the hospital in our county is under martial law! I heard it's haunted!"

The post said that a horrific incident occurred in a hospital in the county where the poster lived in the early hours of this morning. However, the police completely cordoned off the area, and it was said that many people died. As for the truth, the local authorities have not given the public any explanation.

The comments that followed were varied, with many criticizing the original poster for talking nonsense, but some also mentioned similar incidents that had occurred in their respective cities.

Li Wei checked again and found that there were many similar posts, all of which appeared within an hour. Obviously, this was not a lie made up by someone with nothing better to do, but a real story.

Continuing his search, Li Wei even discovered many "podcasts" and secretly filmed short videos, which were more convincing than the posts. In some counties and small cities, serious riots had already broken out because of this incident.

At that moment, Li Wei heard a commotion outside the door. As time went on, the noise grew louder and louder, and many young people who were surfing the internet in the internet cafe had curiously come out to see what was going on.

Li Wei was also curious, but when he came out of the internet cafe, he was shocked to find the street packed with people. He learned that a large hospital nearby had been unjustly sealed off by the police, trapping a large number of patients inside. However, the police ignored people's pleas and refused to allow anyone to enter or leave. As a result, many people with relatives or friends inside started shoving and pushing the police in twos and threes, which eventually escalated into a riot.

Fueled by the rhetoric of some busybodies, many uninformed people joined this massive group, determined to pressure the police and demand the truth from the authorities.

Li Wei had a sudden thought: this must not be a coincidence.

Just then, the black cell phone in Li Wei's pocket rang. Li Wei jumped, glanced at the number, walked to a deserted alley, and answered the call.
