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

After Han Shaoyun flicked the red tassel away, before he could even put away his halberd, he felt a blur before his eyes, and his former teammates who had passed away appeared before him once again.

This is... [Heart Demon Binding Technique]! Han Shaoyun once again used his mental power to forcefully break free of the Heart Demon Binding Technique. Wen Qimo, who was far away, coughed up a mouthful of blood because he was trying to influence a [Sea] Realm expert with the [Pool] Realm.

"A good opportunity!" Lin Qiye thought to himself, raising his twin swords to charge forward, but then he saw that the captain seemed to be unleashing a powerful attack, so he quickly stopped in his tracks.

Chen Muye seized the opportunity and slashed heavily into Han Shaoyun's back with his twin blades. As blood gushed out, a faint, ghostly light entered Han Shaoyun's body.

"Damn it! Captain, I haven't absorbed enough yet!" Lin Shi thought to himself. From the very beginning, the City of Devouring Time had been absorbing Han Shaoyun's time with all its might, but unfortunately, the gap between Lin Shi's 'Pool' Realm and 'Sea' Realm was too large, resulting in low absorption efficiency. He had only absorbed about one-tenth of the time consumed so far.

Han Shaoyun's hair gradually turned white, and his skin became dry and rough. Several age spots appeared on the back of his hands at some point.

Under the blade of impermanence, flesh and soul can both be slain!

Looking at the changes in himself, Han Shaoyun's lips curled up slightly, "Perhaps... I really can die here today."

He had wanted to die for a long time, wanted to go down and see his teammates, wanted to... see her one more time...

Because of the control of the Ancient God Church contract, he can't do anything, not even commit suicide, and he can't hold back in battle.

Today... his wish has come true. There is no fear of death in his eyes; instead, deep within, there is a sense of joy.

Seeing that Han Shaoyun's body was aging rapidly, with blood still flowing from his chest and back, and that he had no strength left to fight, Lin Shi hurriedly stopped the time acceleration for all members of Squad 136, a look of heartache appearing on his face.

But... the contract with the Ancient God Church forced Han Shaoyun to make a final struggle. He trembled and held his hands, which looked like withered tree branches, in front of his chest. As the wind in his hands grew stronger, an eye of the storm was about to form.

At this critical moment, a figure hidden in the darkness—no, a young man—leaped high into the air, wielding two straight swords. He nimbly spun 360 degrees in mid-air and slashed at Han Shaoyun, who was still gathering his inner energy.

This young man was none other than Lin Qiye, who was poised to unleash his power.

As the straight blade struck Han Shaoyun again, his already weakened body staggered, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.

Just then, a corner of the Wujie Void was opened, followed by a muffled sound, and a person radiating golden light, resembling a humanoid battle Buddha, appeared before everyone.

The newcomer was Yuan Gang. After dealing with the enemies on Baili Pangpang's side, he brought Shen Qingzhu and the other two here without stopping.

He watched as Han Shaoyun, who had fallen to the ground, struggled to his feet again. He grabbed Han Shaoyun by the collar, lifted him into the air, and spoke coldly:

"Han Shaoyun, the thirteenth seat of the Ancient God Church [Believers] and former captain of the Suzhou City Night Watch squad, you've been arrested. You'll spend the rest of your life slowly repenting in a fasting center..."

Upon hearing this, Han Shaoyun's pupils dilated suddenly. He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but the large amount of blood flowing from his mouth made his words unclear. However, the pleading look in his eyes seemed to be telling everyone.

He's trying to kill himself; please give me a ride.

Then, a familiar feeling surged up, and his body slowed down. This was Lin Shi using the City of Devouring Time to frantically absorb Han Shaoyun's remaining lifespan.

Feeling his life slipping away, and his eyelids growing heavier and heavier, Han Shaoyun struggled to lift his head, trying to open his heavy eyelids, and squinted at Lin Shi as if to thank him.

In his final moments, Lin Shi read the word "thank you" from his lips, and then... with a faint smile on his face, he died at Yuan Gang's hands.

Yuan Gang's face was gloomy. He could feel a force accelerating Han Shaoyun's death, but he was powerless to do anything about it and could only watch helplessly as Han Shaoyun died by his own hand.

And he... never found out who it was, or where they did it. He could only erupt in helpless rage.

"Who goes there? Show yourself if you dare, don't hide."

Yuan Gang scanned his surroundings, but everything was quiet and no one responded. There was also no fluctuation in the [Boundless Void].

"Seven Nights, this is..."

Baili Pangpang looked at Han Shaoyun lying in a pool of blood. He found the man very strange. He was about to die, but he could not see a trace of desire to live or fear of death in his eyes.

Instead, he wore a faint smile, as if celebrating his own death.

Lin Qiye shook his head. To be honest, he was just an observer this time, and he was completely bewildered.

"A poor man."

Chen Muye picked up where he left off, walked to Han Shaoyun's body, and gently closed his eyes with his hand.

Wu Xiangnan, who was standing to the side, also spoke up: "As long as you sign the contract with the Ancient God Church, your behavior will be forcibly changed at the level of your mind, turning you into a puppet with a soul and consciousness, but unable to control your own body."

"In that case, wouldn't it be more effective to send Han Shaoyun to infiltrate the Night Watch as an undercover agent?" Lin Qiye was very puzzled. Wouldn't this be a great pawn to infiltrate the Night Watch's upper echelons?

"Is it possible that we already have an undercover agent, and we don't need to send another one?"

Lin Shifeng said it casually, but it silenced everyone present.

Yuan Gang reacted the most, hastily bidding farewell to everyone before leaving.

Everyone knew that the matter involved the Night Watch's higher-ups and was not something they could discuss, so they put away the [No-Rule Void] and left.

On the way back, suddenly, Baili Pangpang's stomach growled, and many eyes were on him. Baili Pangpang scratched his head embarrassedly.

Hongying waved her hand and said, "Come on, let's all go to my house for a meal. Let the captain cook for us. We still have a lot of ingredients left over from the New Year we bought a few days ago."

Chen Muye nodded slightly, offering no objection.

"Yay! Finally, I don't have to order takeout from Lin Shi's house anymore."

Baili Pangpang clapped his hands excitedly.

Nighttime, at the Red Tassel Villa.

“Sister Hongying, your wrist looks bare. This Van Cleef & Arpels watch would suit your style perfectly…” Baili Pangpang was giving each member of Squad 136 a watch.

Leng Xuan, holding the Rolex that Fatty had just given him, leaned close to Lin Shi's ear with a strange expression and asked, "Is this... the landlord's stupid son? Lin Shi... have you ever swindled him?"

Lin Shi coughed slightly. "That's just how he interacts with people, but I've never cheated him."

"Really?" Leng Xuan looked at Lin Shi with a questioning gaze. It wouldn't be like you, Lin Shi, if you didn't take advantage of some rich fools.

That look... made Lin Shi feel embarrassed, so he left Leng Xuan's side and went to Lin Qiye's side.

When Lin Qiye saw Lin Shi come to his side, he told Lin Shi the questions that had been on his mind, "Lin Shi, do you know why Brother Xiangnan can't hold a sword, and what's the story behind the scars on his hands?"

"For these kinds of questions, you should either ask the person involved, or ask the captain and instructors. Don't come to me with every problem. I'm not an omniscient god."

Lin Shi rolled his eyes, thinking he was some kind of walking encyclopedia of questions! He was always asking him "why" all the time.

"Lin Shi, Qi Ye, come and eat."

With Baili Pangpang being such a lively character, the atmosphere at the dinner was quite cheerful. However, apart from him... Cao Yuan was a quiet, hardworking machine, while Shen Qingzhu turned into a shy young man, sitting properly and occasionally replying with a word or two.

After dinner, Lin Shi waved goodbye to Hong Ying and the others, and then Lin Qiye and the others arrived at the agreed pick-up point. After handing over the Star Blade, they boarded the bus and headed to the training camp to begin the second half of the training.
