Godslayer: The different abilities represented by the twelve two-hour periods of the day

In the sewer, a shadow flashed past a rat, startling it so much that it jumped up and down. It looked around frantically but found nothing. Its small eyes were full of confusion; perhaps it had just imagined it.

In a laboratory somewhere in the sewers, Anqingyu, who was dissecting a corpse, noticed something unusual among the rats.

Through communication with the rats, he learned that a shadowy figure was scurrying around in the sewers, seemingly searching for something.

An Qingyu frowned. There was nothing of value in the sewers except for this laboratory. Clearly, this shadow was aimed at him.

Who on earth is it?

For the past six months, he has been dissecting corpses in the sewers of Cangnan City and has not offended anyone.

Could it be...? An Qingyu looked at the snake head of the Nandaka snake demon that he had brought out during his adventure at No. 2 Middle School. It had already been analyzed, and he could only think that it was related to this.

"Squeak squeak —— squeak squeak".

The rats at the lab entrance started squeaking in unison, and An Qingyu quickly turned to look at the entrance. The next moment, a dark figure stopped on the ground in front of him.

"coming."

An Qingyu picked up the scalpel beside her, assumed a defensive stance, and warily watched the shadowy figure, wanting to see who it was.

The next moment, a boy slowly rose from the shadows; it was Lin Shi.

"Hi! An Qingyu, we meet again."

When An Qingyu recognized Lin Shi as the newcomer, her brows furrowed even more deeply.

As far as he knew, the deity behind Lin Shi was related to time, but the one he had just used was related to shadow.

Could it be... that he, like Lin Qiye, is a dual-god agent?

"What brings you here?" An Qingyu appeared very calm, but the scalpel he gripped tightly showed that he was wary of Lin Shi.

That makes sense, since Lin Shi barged into the lab without a word, essentially becoming an intruder, so naturally he wouldn't be friendly.

Lin Shi scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, his eyes falling on a snake head in the container. "Don't be nervous. It was wrong of me to barge into your lab, but I'm not here to pursue the matter of you stealing the head of the Nanda snake demon."

"I just wanted to see what those underground laboratories in novels are like. You happened to have one, so I came to take a look and maybe make a deal with you."

An Qingyu's mind raced, analyzing every possibility. Suddenly, he remembered that he had detected some powerful individuals recently arriving in Cangnan City, which might be related to this...

Do you want me to find some people for you?

Lin Shi gave An Qingyu a thumbs up, saying, "It's so easy to deal with smart people."

"Since you're not here to investigate the theft of the Nanda Serpent Demon's head, and you've already seen my laboratory, please leave now!" An Qingyu didn't hesitate to drive away this uninvited guest.

Lin Shi did not respond to An Qingyu, but instead began touring the laboratory on his own.

What Lin Shi found most interesting was that the laboratory was surprisingly well-lit in the sewers, especially with a huge circular skylight in the middle of the roof, which made it not as dark as Lin Shi had imagined.

"I didn't expect that the laboratory built in the sewer would have such good lighting. It wasn't the dark environment I had imagined; it even had a somewhat cozy feel."

After visiting the laboratory, Lin Shi got down to business.

“I know my current behavior is offensive to you, but I’m doing this deal in good faith.”

Lin Shi raised his arm and said to An Qingyu in a seductive tone, "Would you like to study my blood? Would you like it?"

Her arm was still waving in front of An Qingyu, as if she were teasing him.

An Qingyu pushed up her glasses. "I'm very interested in this deal of yours."

He then pulled out a 550ml test tube from behind him and handed it to Lin Shi.

Lin Shi's lips twitched. A 550ml test tube—if it were filled to the brim, would he go into shock? "That's going too far! You're a genius, surely you know that a normal person can only donate a maximum of 400ml of blood at a time!"

"Are you normal?"

"...I can only give you 100ml at most, no more. Do you have a syringe? It hurts a lot to cut open a wound on your arm with a knife and bleed it out!"

An Qingyu didn't say much and turned to find the syringe, but Lin Shi, with his keen ears, still heard him say two words after he turned around.

"Pretentious."

Lin Shi looked at An Qingyu, whose eyes were shining as she stared at the vial of blood he had just drawn, and solemnly instructed her, "You can use it for analysis and research, but you absolutely cannot use it for cloning."

"Understood. Take this little white mouse with you; it will lead you to the person you're looking for." Lin Shi nodded, picked up the little white mouse from the ground, and left a location on it as he passed An Qingyu's shadow.

He was genuinely afraid that this research madman would not use his own blood for proper research, but instead, like in the movie "Resident Evil," go on a crazy cloning of Alice.

But if he doesn't give it to him... he really wants to know if his blood is anything special.

After all, the line between madness and genius is very thin, so we still need to be cautious.

Lin Shi, who had just emerged from the sewer, couldn't use his shadow to travel because he had to carry a white mouse with him.

Despite being very careful, I still caught a slight stench from the sewer.

Unable to stand the smell, Lin Shi fired a fourth shot, instantly feeling refreshed.

Lin Shi placed the white mouse in his palm. "You just need to show me the way, starting with the weakest one."

The white mouse pointed its head to a spot and squeaked. A moment later, the white mouse led it to a dark alley.

At the end of the alley, a minivan was parked on the side, and the people in the minivan were sitting together eating boxed lunches.

There are seven people in total, and it seems that his first target will be the Mad Scorpion mercenary.

"Our objective has changed. The dual-god agent has been dealt with by someone else. Our current objective is to directly kidnap that woman and child," Scorpion said.

Lin Shi, who was in the shadows in the corner, naturally heard what had just been said. Without further hesitation, he fired a bullet at himself, then took out his flintlock rifle and fired a shot at Scorpion One's head.

The Mad Scorpion mercenaries were still eating their boxed lunches and listening to their leader Scorpion's battle plan, completely caught off guard.

A spray of blood appeared, and Scorpion was killed on the spot. His facial expression and lip movements indicated that he was talking to his team members just a second ago.

When everyone saw Scorpion's head explode without them noticing, their horror reached its peak, because their leader had been killed without them even realizing it.

Suddenly, they felt their bodies sink, and even their thoughts slowed down.

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, Scorpion Three saw a black figure standing behind Scorpion Seven, raising a straight knife and slashing downwards.

Scorpion Three wanted to remind his teammates, but his sluggishness prevented him from speaking before Scorpion Seven's head was already thrown high into the air.

After firing the first shot at Scorpion One, Lin Shi immediately activated the City of Devouring Time Domain, retrieved the flintlock spear, and switched to a flintlock pistol in his left hand and a Star Blade in his right.

By accelerating time and launching an attack from the shadows, the mercenary Scorpion squad lost two teammates in an instant.
