The Mastermind

Let me guess.

Qin Yiguan raised an eyebrow. "Did you build a 1:1 scale replica of the Zanyin Building in reality? That tower also has a basement level, but that basement level is specifically for producing CPH4? And the source of CPH4 is various girls from Rust City?"

Luo Ming's expression changed upon hearing this. "You... how could you know this! This is impossible! My building is located in the far north, where the temperature is -60 degrees Celsius year-round! There's absolutely no one here!"

"I'm in charge of collecting the girls' puppet robots. Their return journey involves 10-20 transfers, disguised as various goods, making them untraceable!"

"My ' Zanyin Building ' is entirely monitored by intelligent robots; there are no living people inside! No one will ever leak information!"

Luo Ming pointed his beam weapon directly at the boy, exclaiming in horror, "You! How do you know all this! Who are you?!"

The boy was silent for a second.

I'm telling you, this is all a hallucination telling me. Do you believe me?

now.

Qin Yiguan's communicator suddenly started beeping.

Chen Fazheng: "Boss Qin, do you still remember that job where you assassinated the head of the Zanyin Group? You didn't do the killing, did you?"

The boy was taken aback. "Why do you ask that?"

Chen Fazheng: "Ten minutes ago, the employer suddenly posted a notice saying that the target was dead, on the basement floor of the Zanyin Building! They even transferred the commission, but strangely, I asked around in the guild and no one had accepted the mission. The employer even praised us for being accurate and ruthless!"

The boy raised an eyebrow. "Then who is this 'head of the Zanyin Group ' referring to?"

Chen Fazheng: "I don't know. It might refer to the retired Luo Sijie, or perhaps the current president Luo Ming! In my opinion, it's most likely Luo Ming! But this is hidden information; only the assassins who have accepted the mission have the right to know it. I strictly adhere to professional ethics! If Boss Qin is interested in knowing the truth, I'll give you a separate piece of information!"

immediately.

Qin Yiguan received a package containing photos and information that clearly showed Luo Sijie.

The boy had just overheard Luo Ming's plan.

The employer was Luo Ming.

He was certain that Luo Sijie would die by his own gun, and in order to frame the Gang, he was in a hurry to confirm the target's death.

"Director Chen, are you sure no one else is willing to take this business?"

"Sure!"

"Then could you please repeat the first question you just asked?"

"First question? You didn't kill the head of the Zanyin Group, did you?"

"Yes."

Bang!

Luo Ming pulled the trigger, and the beam pistol in his hand emitted a white light, its target being Qin Yiguan's head.

But under that dazzling white light, Luo Ming's vision blurred—where had the boy in black gone?!

I'm here.

Suddenly, a deep voice reached Luo Ming's ears, like a demonic whisper.

Click!

The boy's knee pressed down on Luo Ming's gun-wielding arm from below, while his right hand slammed downwards.

Luo Ming screamed in agony as his arm was snapped at a 90-degree angle!

In that instant, Qin Yiguan activated [Time Lag Syndrome], appearing behind Luo Ming almost instantly.

At this moment, he activated the [Shadow Syndrome] Judo Fiend. With a 15% Fusion Rate, the Judo Fiend's 35 kg grip strength was increased by 7 times.

With a grip strength of over 100 kilograms, Luo Ming was choked and lifted into the air.

Luo Ming's legs were kicking wildly, his face flushed red.

The boy said, "Give me the antidote for CHP4."

"Ha ha..."

Luo Ming's throat was squeezed, emitting a strange laugh. "You have relatives... addicted to CHP4? Heh, I want to profit from CHP4, why would I develop an antidote? Heh heh... Are you out of your mind? I'm dead, so be it! CHP4 will never disappear!"

now.

Suddenly Luo Sijie, with tears in his eyes, cried out, "Brother Qin, spare his life! He is, after all, my nephew. And I, through the group's financial records, will soon be able to locate his factory in reality, soon obtain the manufacturing steps... soon I will be able to create the antidote for you. Spare his life..."

Qin Yiguan smiled.

I was deeply moved by this selfless and touching bond between uncle and nephew.

Then he broke Luo Ming's neck.

And with a grip of force, he crushed his neck bones into pieces.

In that instant.

Qin Yiguan noticed that Luo Ming's personal AI was flashing frequently.

It is sending information outwards.

At that very moment, a large number of cockroaches surged out of Luo Ming's corpse, crawling back and forth along his body, and then up the boy's arm and onto his body.

Qin Yiguan frowned.

He tossed Luo Ming's corpse aside, stomped his feet to shake off the cockroaches.

Qin Yiguan, looked around.

But from the cracks in the ceiling of the entire basement, countless cockroaches crawled out, densely packed together. Some cockroaches laid white eggs as they crawled, their bodies intertwined, a truly disgusting sight.

In just a few dozen seconds, the ground and walls were covered with black cockroaches!

With a slight shift of his foot, Qin Yiguan could crush dozens of them to death!

Patients of all kinds screamed in terror and frantically swatted at the cockroaches on their bodies.

Luo Sijie clutched his severed arm and rolled around on the ground.

Qin Yiguan narrowed his eyes, "Such a top-notch medical facility couldn't possibly breed so many cockroaches. Someone is controlling them!"

And in that very moment...

From an entrance in the distance, a swarm of centipedes emerged!

These centipedes are much larger than common species. A single one is as long as an adult's arm. Their flat bodies gleam with a reddish-brown sheen, and their countless legs are incredibly bright red, as if they were stained with blood!

A middle-aged man in a gray suit slowly walked into the house.

Within a 2-meter radius around him, there was a vacuum; not a single insect approached. Instead, a disgusting, swirling circle formed around him!

I'm too late.

"You killed my most important partner!"

The man in the gray suit calmly said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Wu Jing, Director of the Equipment Management Bureau, B5 Sector."

"Because the former director was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect and subsequently died, I had only been in office for less than a week when, unexpectedly, Luo Ming, such an important partner... died?"

"I'm a good official who wholeheartedly serves the people! Aren't you hindering my career?"

"If subsequent CHP4 deliveries are interrupted..."

The man, who identified himself as the director of the management bureau, raised his head slightly, a fierce glint in his eyes. "The people will hate you."
