Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

Collect the corpse?

The deer jolted, its eyes widening in surprise.

"Guangzhou-Shenzhen?"

Ye Fan nodded: "Things are not that simple. On their way back, Lin Qiye and Baili Tuming's helicopter was deliberately shot down, but we cannot currently ascertain whether the people involved are safe."

He sighed, somewhat worried: "By the time the Night Watch headquarters received the message, it seems those two had already fled to Guangzhou and Shenzhen."

Lu Yu frowned: "Who shot it down?"

The system's voice reached An Qingyu before she could speak:

Five days after you left, Baili Tuming received news from home that he and Lin Qiye had returned to Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

The system was busy outwitting Rahu and didn't pay much attention to the situation in the real world. When it logged back in, it only heard the news that the two had left.

I asked someone to check the news from those two days, and based on the current timeline, the conclusion is that the story of Baili Tuming as the abandoned son of the Baili family is about to begin.

The four users of forbidden artifacts used a spatial teleportation artifact to escape back while detonating the bomb. That artifact was likely equipment given to them by the Baili family.

Therefore, this accident was ultimately orchestrated by the Baili family themselves.

However, Baili Tuming was unharmed. Lin Qiye used the Rebirth Token, and the two entered the Underworld a second before the explosion, arriving directly in Guangzhou-Shenzhen City.

Lu Yu: "When did you make friends? Also, wasn't the plot about Fatty being betrayed still a long way off? Why was it brought forward this time? Is it because of me again?"

Because of her involvement, the original timeline has changed once again?

The system fell silent once again.

What does that make it say?

Because of Lu Yu's slumber, the system belatedly realized its own abnormality. Since it couldn't explain this to Lu Yu, it wrote some notes and questions and posted them online in an attempt to find answers.

While writing about her daily life online, she met a netizen through the system. Although they had never met in person, the two of them hit it off immediately and quickly became close friends.

The system was often offline recently because I was sharing my host's excellence with that netizen and planning to collaborate on rewriting these disjointed essays and daily questions into a novel for publication, which caused me to miss the deadline.

Just as the system was considering how to begin—

[“Idiot, you blame everything on yourself. Who else is tired if not you?”]

Rahu's voice forcefully entered Lu's mind.

[“For me, no matter when, anyone who blocks my path will only meet a death.”]

Luo Hou roughly guessed what Lu Yu and the system were discussing. Although he didn't know the details, the Demon Ancestor's main goal in doing things was to make himself happy.

At this moment, the system also seemed to agree with the Demon Ancestor's words:

[In Gusu City, you asked me to keep an eye on Molly, who was supposed to be causing some chaos in Belkland...]

After fleeing to Suzhou, he intended to continue his evil deeds, but who could have imagined that Chen Muye, who was supposed to have died in the original storyline, happened to be attending a meeting in Suzhou and preparing to board a plane back...

There's also Han Shaoyun, the former captain of the Suzhou team. He's currently in Suzhou and, as you requested, is searching for the souls of the deceased...

Two Sea Realm beings were present, one of whom was a chosen successor to a demon god from the Underworld. Therefore, with the covert assistance of some Underworld spirits, Belkrand died within seconds of showing his face.

So, Lu Yu, all of this has changed because of your arrival, and you should be the most important person.

The system naturally understood that Lu Yu would grasp the unrelated meaning, but before the emotional moment could last more than a few seconds, Luo Hou, who had been forcibly suppressed, resurfaced:

[“What are you waiting for? Go to that… Guangshen, kill those troublesome guys, Lu Yu,”]

Luo Hou paused, his voice tinged with sarcasm.

[“Don’t say you don’t kill, even if those are bastards who are trying to harm your friends.”]

"how is this possible?"

The girl retorted, looked at her teammates who were ready to depart, picked up the round-framed sunglasses that Lin Qiye had placed on the table, and hung them on her head.

Then, amidst Ye Fan's shout of "You haven't had your body checked yet!", she strode out, leaving only a crisp ringing in the air—

"Wait for me! Let's go together!"

…………

Lin Qiye and Baili Tuming arrived in Guangzhou and Shenzhen at night.

The two soon arrived at the Baili family's residence.

Baili Tuming, his face contorted with rage, flung open the door and strode inside.

"You want me dead? You're going to use the four forbidden items that protect me to stab me in the back?"

"Bai Li Jing! You want the Bai Li family that much? You wish I were dead so you could rightfully reclaim your name and officially inherit the Bai Li family?"

The boy's anger quickly found an outlet. The boy, who was still wearing his pajamas in the living room, was punched to the ground by Baili Tuming before he could react.

"Why do you have to kill me? Don't you even have the courage to stand in front of me, talk to me face to face, and tell me how much you want me dead? You really only dare to use these despicable methods to hurt people?!"

The boy's voice grew hoarse and hoarse as he spoke, as if he had used up all his strength, and finally, he slammed his fist into the person on the ground—

"...Baili Jing...you can just tell me directly, just say...I'm just a scapegoat you found...say you're the real Baili Tuming...I'm just an imposter!"

"I would have been long gone by now! I didn't do anything wrong! Why do you want to kill me?"

Baili Tuming breathed heavily, looking at the person on the ground who had been beaten senseless, his eyes stinging with an unbearable pain.

"You want to kill me? I'll accept it. But my friends were on the helicopter at the time! You want to take all of this? Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing so?"

The boy looked sad and desperate. When the explosion happened, he felt a deep sense of fear for the first time.

As their helicopter was about to reach an area of ​​sea, Lin Qiye noticed something was wrong—

They have strayed from their course.

Sure enough, the four forbidden artifact envoys sent to protect Baili Tuming ignited the bomb hidden under the fuselage.

Baili Tuming only had time to see Lin Qiye rushing towards him, and that fleeting moment of light.

When the two woke up again, the scene before their eyes had transformed into a sea of ​​spider lilies.

They stood on the Bridge of Helplessness.

"Seven Nights...we...are we dead?"

After death, you come to the Bridge of Helplessness?

Baili Tuming smiled bitterly.

"It's all my fault, Qi Ye... You said we could use our relationship with Uncle Li to be reborn into a better family in our next life..."

"What do you mean, 'good'?"

Lin Qiye flicked Baili Tuming on the head. When the pain came, Baili Tuming realized that they were still alive.

"Before Lu went to sleep, he left the death warrant with me."

Lin Qiye shook the token in his hand, speechless for a moment.

He bowed to the underworld deity behind Baili Tuming and said, "This junior, Lin Qiye, has temporarily visited the underworld due to an accident. I hope Lady Meng Po will not mind."

Meng Po waved her hand: "What are you saying? You two are guests from the underworld and have permission to visit at any time."

Lin Qiye took a deep breath and looked at Baili Tuming: "We need to go find that Master Xu."

Baili Tuming had just emerged from the shock of surviving the ordeal and was in a state of confusion when Lin Qiye pulled him, almost causing him to fall.

"What do you want with that lady?"

He also wanted to ask if the underworld had received the souls of those four forbidden artifact envoys! He had to find out why these four people who watched him grow up wanted to kill him.

"...She'll find out..."

Lin Qiye quickened his pace, and the two of them walked down the Bridge of Helplessness, only to find the person they were looking for right there.
