[Sin-Cleaving Power: 27 → 28 points]
Su Nian used the Sin-Cleaving Butcher's Knife to sever the white threads again.
"This isn't getting us anywhere." Hao Ren scratched his head, trying to think of a solution.
The wraith wouldn't come out, and they couldn't go in.
"We can only wait until tonight and kill her then," Gong Qing said. For now, that was their only option.
"I have a plan." Su Nian looked at Gong Qing. "I'll need your help."
With that, Su Nian took out the little notebook Hao Ren had given him and wrote down his plan.
Even now, he wasn't sure whether wraiths could understand human speech. Sometimes they were very clever, but when he cursed at them, they never got upset.
It was as though they understood normal speech but automatically filtered out abnormal profanity.
Hao Ren turned and ran to the car to fetch something.
"Heehee..."
[Sin-Cleaving Power: 28 → 29 points]
Su Nian's gaze grew increasingly feverish... He was almost there.
I'll wipe that giggle off your face in a minute.
Watching that deranged expression, Hao Ren needed only one look to confirm it: Su Nian was having another episode.
The Shadow-Seam Wraith tilted her head... She didn't understand why these people weren't afraid of her.
But that didn't matter. They would be.
"Honey~~~"
[Sin-Cleaving Power: 29 → 30 points]
Su Nian could no longer suppress his grin... "Sin-Cleaving, Divine Spear Kill."
As Su Nian's crazed murmur rang out,
the blade instantly extended, its explosive growth accompanied by the shriek of metal tearing through the air... A hundred-meter-long golden sword of light pierced the Gray Fog.
What a dirty trick! Hao Ren's eyes widened, and so did everyone else's.
Those like Tang Chen and Tang Zhou, who knew nothing about the Transcendent Sequence... were even more stunned, their mouths hanging open.
The blade had grown longer!
So long that it defied every law of physics, leaving only the most primitive, direct visual impact-a golden sword of evil-slaying piercing the chaos.
Where the golden light pointed... the gray mist billowed to either side, revealing the Shadow-Seam Wraith's rippling body. The golden blade-light of Divine Spear Kill had pierced her chest, making her look like a black grasshopper skewered on an incredibly long golden stick.
Now! Gong Qing's gaze sharpened. He thrust out his right hand, curling his fingers into a claw and grasping at the air. A Ward Door opened, drawing away the wraith's warped consciousness.
Bang!
The Ward Door slammed shut and vanished. The Shadow-Seam Wraith's writhing body went rigid for an instant, like a robot that had lost power.
Immediately afterward, a burly, six-foot-three Skeleton landed heavily behind the Shadow-Seam Wraith... He bent forward, gathered his strength, and drove a punch into her back.
The Shadow-Seam Wraith hurtled toward the road like a rag doll. Hao Ren and Wen Keyi stretched out the Ink-Line Reel's thread and wrapped it around her.
Su Nian lunged like a tiger, pouncing ravenously onto the Shadow-Seam Wraith and hacking away-hard and fast.
At the same time, Wen Keyi released flower-and-leaf toxins from her palm to paralyze the Shadow-Seam Wraith's body.
Their whole combination flowed seamlessly.
"Heehee... Why aren't you giggling anymore...? I'll teach you to giggle! Don't you know how much that fucking hurt?"
Su Nian cursed as he hacked.
Under the sunlight's added power, the Shadow-Seam Wraith dissolved into a wisp of gray smoke and vanished.
[Ding! Shadow-Seam Wraith killed. Gained 8,200 Survival Points.]
Su Nian's blade plunged hard into the asphalt.
A black needle remained on the ground.
That little? Based on Su Nian's earlier guesses, it should definitely have been much more... But the Shadow-Seam Wraith's immense strength had only come from the companion-wraith mechanism putting her into a berserk state. She herself was still a Class C Wraith.
Just like someone pumped full of adrenaline was ultimately still human.
And when it came to people... the little black ones were ultimately worth less than the little yellow ones.
"Too brutal." Hao Ren shook his head with feigned pity, clicking his tongue twice.
This had to be the most frustrated wraith in the world, bar none. Her hiding place in the Gray Fog had been seen through, and Su Nian's Wraith Artifact was sneaky as hell. It had pierced her body and briefly "suppressed" her at the same time.
Then came Gong Qing's hospital room treatment, followed by Skeleton's
"You little punk. This time, I'm siding with the wraith." Gong Qing laughed. Seven or eight strands of hair shakily fell from his head, and suddenly he wasn't laughing anymore.
He watched helplessly as his hair fell to the ground, sorrow welling up in his heart.
"It's okay. You've still got plenty." Wen Keyi couldn't help comforting him. A breeze swept across her sweet smile, stirring the lovely hair over her forehead.
The soothing warmth of an ideal sweetheart washed over him.
Gong Qing's face filled with gratitude.
"Keyi!"
Bam! Without any warning, Wen Keyi punched Gong Qing in the face.
It was so abrupt that Gong Qing never saw it coming.
Hao Ren's expression froze in that look of pity.
Su Nian picked up the embroidery needle. (⓿_⓿)
"You sleazy creep. How dare you call me that?"
A leg sweep... a kick... another kick... She cursed as she kicked.
"Kele, I was wrong! Stop hitting me!"
Wen Kele stopped. "Call me that again and I'll beat you to death."
"What the hell am I wearing...? It's hideous!" Wen Kele began tugging at her clothes in disgust as she walked toward her car.
"It's so damn hot! Why wear so much?"
She pulled off the knitted top and tossed it aside, baring her fair, tender shoulders, then opened the car door and climbed in.
Chen Shu hurriedly retrieved the knitted top.
A short while later, a young woman emerged with a high ponytail, wearing a gray cropped camisole with red lettering that hugged her chest and exposed a strip of fair waist, along with pink hot pants that showed off her long, straight, shapely legs. A pair of lambskin boots completed the outfit.
She had a lollipop in her mouth and looked cocky as hell.
Chen Shu stood beside her, her body stiff and straight... She was a little nervous. If Sister Wen woke up and saw what she was wearing, she'd cry from anger again.
Who could understand? I have to serve two "bosses" all by myself.
"Go get me a bottle of the white stuff."
"Okay... Sister Cola."
Chen Shu swiftly went to fetch the white stuff.
Wen Kele strode toward Su Nian and the other two, who were sitting around a table.
"New guy!" Wen Kele leaned down... looking cocky, bringing her face so close that the lollipop stick nearly poked Su Nian in the cheek.
Su Nian instinctively blushed and shrank back a little.
"You even blush? Stick with me from now on." Wen Kele hooked an arm around Su Nian's neck and pulled him into her chest.
Su Nian collided with soft, milk-scented buns, the milky fragrance rushing straight into his nose.
After that affectionate greeting, Wen Kele released him and sat down casually, crossing her legs.
Su Nian was left bright red... while Gong Qing looked bitterly envious.
Hao Ren sipped his iced black tea with a faint smile. More precisely, he was watching Su Nian... The boy had been completely wrapped around her finger. His blush said it all.
"Still a virgin..." Wen Kele teased, then turned dead serious. "How can an awakened person still be a virgin? Outrageous!"
"Hao Ren, what the hell have you been doing? I appointed you deputy captain, and this is how you handle things? Arrange five for my little bro later... no... ten!"
Wen Kele held up all ten fingers.
Su Nian: "..."
This is the evil soul split off by a wraith? She really is wicked, using this to pressure an official.
"Kele, here's your white stuff." Chen Shu placed a chilled bottle of Want Want Milk on the table.
Wen Kele pulled out the straw and tossed it away. "Who told you to put a straw in? Do I need that?"
Chen Shu remained expressionless. "I'll remember next time."
Whether she put in a straw or not, she would get scolded either way.
