Godslayer: I've gone bald, but I'm stronger now!

Lin Qiye didn't even care about the coffee in his hand anymore; tonight's events had given him too much of a shock, this mysterious...

The target was actually him?

Who is this person in front of me?

Lin Qiye looked at Bai Yu with a puzzled expression, hoping that he could explain the situation to him.

She spread out her small, white hand.

"As you can see, Lin Qiye, their target is you."

"Yes, you've heard Captain Chen talk about what kind of organization the Ancient God Church is."

"My guess is that they want you to join, and if you don't join..."

"They will then target your family."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye gripped his cappuccino cup tightly, not even noticing that the coffee had spilled.

An Qingyu, who had been observing the two, spoke up at this moment: "So, Bai Yu, this is what you told me..."

"The truth of the world?"

An Qingyu's gaze swept over Lin Qiye and Bai Yu, and finally slowly moved to the barista who was lying on the ground blowing bubbles.

"If this is the truth about the world you've been telling me about..."

"Then I think I might need to call the police or contact a mental hospital."

Bai Yu: "..."

"Lin Qiye, where's the broadsword? Show it to me."

Yes, that little brat An Jiyu is very meticulous. If he can't produce any evidence, he might actually call the police today and have Bai Yulin and Qi Ye arrested.

However, it was clear that Bai Yu would not give him that chance.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye first looked at An Qingyu, and then slowly...

He drew his own Zanpakuto from his chest.

next second...

Lin Qiye felt himself being locked onto by a burning gaze.

That look in his eyes was as if... as if he wanted to dissect him!

Lin Qiye couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine!

An Qingyu suppressed her emotions slightly and stared intently at Bai Yu: "So? You're leaving this person to me?"

After speaking, An Qingyu pointed at Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye suddenly felt even more dangerous, and hugged her Zanpakuto as if that could bring her some warmth.

Bai Yu: "..."

"No, brother, what are you thinking?"

"I can't give you this person, but this is yours."

After saying that, Bai Yu pointed to the snake spirit who was blowing bubbles.

An Qingyu squatted down with some doubt and examined the area carefully before looking up and asking, "So? She can also pull a knife out of her chest?"

"What's the principle behind it? Can I... dissect it and take a look?"

Lin Qiye: “…”

Holy crap?! His hunch was right?

Is this guy trying to dissect me?

Bai Yu scratched his head. Although he had arranged this scene, he was really not good at talking to such intelligent people.

"This person is a demon transformed from a snake called Nanda. Anyway, you can take this and use it however you like."

The next second, Lin Qiye saw a scene he would never forget.

The handsome bespectacled boy from just moments ago transformed into a mad scientist in the next second, his expression utterly distorted, his lips twitching more uncomfortably than an AK.

"A snake...a snake demon? It's transformed?!"

"I knew the world wasn't that simple!"

Then, Lin Qiye heard Bai Yu say something to him.

"By the way, Qi Ye, isn't your [Mortal Divine Realm] able to sense anything within a 20-meter radius?"

"Try it and see if you can figure out the prototype of this thing."

Lin Qiye swallowed hard...

He couldn't accept what happened today...

What's unacceptable is that he's become a target of these mysterious figures, and... he's even facing the danger of being killed.

What's even more unacceptable is that... the Church of the Ancient Gods resorts to any means necessary.

If possible, they would never give up threatening themselves with their family members.

Meanwhile, An Qingyu, upon hearing Bai Yu mention the "Mortal Divine Realm," suddenly felt that the body of the Nanta Snake Demon in front of her was no longer appealing, and those eyes seemed to be permanently attached to Lin Qiye.

Bai Yu: "..."

I knew you were a research fanatic... and now I've seen it for myself.

Bai Yu quickly stepped forward, pushed An Qingyu's face away, and solemnly said, "This won't do, this really won't do."

Then Bai Yu saw An Qingyu looking at him with such intense eyes...

"This woman is the Nanda snake demon. She possesses the ability to draw a sword from her chest and also the [Mortal Divine Realm]."

And you? What do you possess?

Bai Yu's eyelids twitched, feeling like she was on the menu too.

"How about I give you a lock of hair to examine?"

An Qingyu: "..."

Lin Qiye: “…”

The next second, the two said in unison, "You don't have any hair at all!"

An Qingyu went back, taking the body of the Nanta Snake Demon with him. Before leaving, Bai Yu specifically reminded him to take the back path, otherwise…

It's so late, and he's a sleazy-looking bespectacled man carrying a girl in uniform; he could easily be arrested by the police.

I received a white eye from An Qingyu.

Lin Qiye and Bai Yu went up to the rooftop of the coffee shop and sat there for a while.

The light was faint and dim in the night.

After a long pause, Lin Qiye finally asked Bai Yu, "What will happen to that barista... the snake demon?"

Bai Yu leaned against the rooftop railing, glanced down at Lin Qiye, and then said, "He will die."

Lin Qiye was stunned...

He wasn't Lin Qiye who saw Zhao Kongcheng's dead face in the original story; he...

He was just a high school student who wasn't quite ordinary.

After a long pause, Bai Yu continued, "I am very strong, so strong that I don't even know where my limits are."

"But Lin Qiye, think about it... what would this world be like without me?"

"Let's not talk about that barista anymore..."

"Perhaps, Zhao Kongcheng would have died protecting you during the Ghost Face King incident."

"And you? Seven Nights..."

"Now do you know what the Night's Watch is?"

Bai Yu questioned Lin Qiye like a senior who had been a night watchman for many years.

And Lin Qiye...

It was as if I could really see Zhao Kongcheng's death.

There are no forbidden ruins... no Zanpakuto...

But if it were the Zhao Kongcheng he knew, he might actually do something as foolish as standing in front of him.

And he...

Seeing Lin Qiye deep in thought, Bai Yu turned to the side and patted Lin Qiye's shoulder.

"Seven Nights, get stronger quickly."

The next second, Lin Qiye's eyes seemed to change.

He held the now-cold coffee in his hand.

"Yes, I will become stronger."

"Become stronger than anyone else."

A smile crept across Bai Yu's lips, and then he switched to a completely different, cheeky tone, saying, "Oh, really? Stronger than anyone else? You were just turned into a Wudang disciple today after being hit by a rubber bullet!"

As she spoke, Bai Yu made a face at Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye: “…”

I really don't know... what's going on in Bai Yu's head.

Sometimes he's so serious he's almost inhuman... and sometimes he is...

Snapped!

Bai Yu: "You hit me on the head?!"

Lin Qiye: "Who told you to turn on the bright lights and blind me!"

Bai Yu: "???"

The two bickered for a while longer before going home to sleep.

------

The next day, at the Peace Office.

Zhao Kongcheng arrived at the firm early in the morning. For some reason, he had a feeling that coming early today would bring good things.

He sat down, wondering who would be the next person to enter the office, when he saw Lin Qiye, with dark circles under his eyes, peek into the room. Seeing that he was the only one there, he sneaked into the office.

Just when Zhao Kongcheng thought Lin Qiye was about to do something shady...

Lin Qiye came up to him and then bowed solemnly.

"Thank you!"

Zhao Kongcheng: "???"
