Miler, who has a system for giving up
Chapter 88: 1 Dead, 1 Wounded, 1 Escape
Then he quickly hid in a corner, quietly waiting for him to come out, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
I held my breath, gripped the weapon tightly, and stared intently at the door.
The door slowly opened, and the male ghost cultivator leaned out. The instant he stepped completely out of the room, I pounced out like a cheetah.
However, unexpectedly, the male ghost cultivator seemed to have been prepared.
He nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding my attack.
I was startled and immediately adjusted my posture, preparing to meet his counterattack.
But instead of launching an attack immediately, he revealed a sly smile.
Just then, a chill ran down my spine. I turned around and saw another ghostly figure silently approaching me.
I cursed and quickly turned to face the attack. A fierce battle ensued in the narrow stairwell.
I brandished my weapon, fighting off two enemies. Beads of sweat rolled down my forehead, and I felt my strength waning.
Just then, the shadows began to float up, but I gritted my teeth and refused to give in.
At the critical moment, Yao Ya, Ye Ze, and Li Si arrived and joined the battle, instantly turning the tide of the battle.
We worked together and finally defeated the two ghostly figures that had ambushed me.
Although I don't know what it is, since it dared to attack me, it must pay the price.
When I found it, it was trying to attack me from behind.
However, I am not someone who is easily ambushed.
I quickly turned around, blocked its attack with my sword, and counterattacked.
The ghostly figure clearly hadn't expected my reaction to be so fast. After being struck by my sword, it let out a scream and vanished into thin air.
There may have been more than one of these ghostly figures in the previous battles, so I remained vigilant and continued forward.
Sure enough, not long after, several more ghostly figures appeared around me.
They seemed to want to surround me, but I didn't give them the chance. I swung my sword, using all my strength, and defeated these ghostly figures one by one.
As the last ghostly figure disappeared, I felt a powerful force surge through my heart.
This power excites me immensely, as if I have broken through some kind of limit.
I know that this battle is just the beginning, and many more challenges await me in the future.
Panting heavily, I looked at the male ghost cultivator who had been knocked to the ground and another ghost figure, and a sense of accomplishment rose in my heart.
Although the battle was difficult, we successfully defended this land.
My spiritual energy was almost exhausted, so I took out some pills and distributed them to everyone. My spiritual energy recovered much faster.
Li Si and Ye Ze escorted the ghost cultivator, who had been sealed by spiritual power, their expressions serious and their eyes warily fixed on the dangerous prisoner.
Meanwhile, Yaoya was in charge of cleaning up the mess after our fight. She skillfully cleaned up the scene, erasing all traces of the battle and restoring everything to its original state.
After resting, we decided to bring this ghost cultivator back to the organization and hand him over to our superiors for disposal.
Everyone remained silent throughout the journey, their minds filled with countless thoughts.
This experience made us realize the strength of the enemy more deeply, and also made us understand our own shortcomings.
We must continuously improve our capabilities in order to better meet the challenges of the future.
When we arrived at the organization's headquarters, we received a warm welcome.
Our superiors highly praised our performance and decided to commend us.
However, we felt very heavy-hearted.
Because we know that this victory is only temporary, and even more arduous tasks await us in the future...
After I had successfully gotten everyone else away, I headed toward Mr. Li's office.
To my surprise, he was already standing at the door waiting for me.
When he saw me, he immediately walked towards me and greeted me warmly.
"Young Master Lele, I already know about this matter, but I need you to tell me the details."
"Old Li, although we have won a great victory this time and even captured one, a Ghost King with a very high level of cultivation escaped. I think the mastermind behind this must be him."
"Also, I captured the soul of a female ghost cultivator. It's in the painting. Do you have a container for her? Take her away and figure out how to interrogate her yourself."
"Yes, yes, I'm ready, you can release it now."
After saying that, I summoned the Mountain and River Map and used my divine sense to throw the female ghost cultivator who was imprisoned inside out.
With a loud "bang," the female ghost cultivator who had fallen to the ground was clearly covered in wounds and was on the verge of her soul breaking.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, an invisible bottle appeared in Li Lao's hand. After a few incantations, the female ghost cultivator was sucked into the bottle.
The transparent bottle instantly turned black, and it was shaking, as if the female ghost inside was struggling.
Looking at this bottle, a chill ran through me.
Who exactly is this mysterious female ghost?
Where did she come from? And why is she here?
What kind of relationship did she have with that male ghost cultivator?
They chase after numerous souls together; what secret lies behind this?
But who is the Ghost King who escaped? Is he connected to all of this?
These questions flooded my mind like a tide, plunging me into deep thought.
Thoughts churned in my mind, but I couldn't find the answer, leaving only endless doubts and unease.
Seeing that I was deep in thought, Mr. Li did not disturb me. He stood up, picked up the blackened bottle, and quietly left the office, leaving me a quiet space where I could concentrate on thinking about the problem.
When I came to my senses, I realized that Mr. Li had quietly left, and I was the only one left in the office.
I sat there quietly, my mind filled with countless thoughts, as if I were immersed in my own world.
Just then, the phone rang, breaking the silence.
When I looked, I saw it was a call from Han Heng.
I answered the phone immediately, my heart filled with anticipation and curiosity.
"My dear Le Bao, I heard you've done another great thing, that's fantastic! First of all, congratulations! But I have two pieces of news to tell you, one is bad news and the other is good news. Which one would you like to hear first?"
Han Heng's voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying a hint of mystery.
"Wow, you're really well-informed! I just received my reward, and you already know. As for which to hear first... let's start with the bad news."
I answered without hesitation, my heart filled with curiosity.
"The bad news is that your nominal parents found out that the reward you received was actually a villa, and they think you might have been scammed, so they've already rushed over to the villa."
Han Heng's tone revealed a hint of worry.
"Oh, I see. It was meant for them anyway. Let them go. Consider it my way of showing filial piety on behalf of my past self in this world. How can this be considered bad news?"
I smiled slightly, my heart not feeling too stirred. After all, for me before, family wasn't the most important thing, but now that I have it, I realize how wonderful it is to have family.
"How was I supposed to know that my Le Bao was so magnanimous, even thinking of taking care of you in this world?" Han Heng looked at the photo he had secretly taken of me on his phone screen with a doting expression.
"So what is the good news you mentioned?" I asked curiously.
"Of course, my second brother has already taken care of Uncle and Aunt, so you can continue to focus on your innovations. They also signed a contract that you can't tell anyone your identity. As for the villa, you can only say you won the lottery," Han Heng explained with a smile.
Hearing this news, I breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully to Han Heng, "Thank you, Hengheng and Sikong. Now I can continue to focus on my research."
Han Heng's reassuring voice came through the receiver, encouraging, "Keep up the good work, we all support you!"
"Oh, right, Sikong also said that if you're free tonight, come home for dinner. He has something to tell you," Han Heng added.
I was a little confused, but I agreed anyway.
After all, Sikong Feng has always been a good friend of mine, and perhaps he has something important to tell me.
That evening, I rode in Li Si's car to the restaurant, where Si Kongfeng, who wasn't eating properly, looked rather serious.
"Little Lele, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
Sikong Feng said, "I hope you sign this document. It means you can buy whatever you want, whatever you want, after that."
He then explained some of the projects his company was working on and emphasized that my expertise and innovative abilities would be of great value to the company.
I fell into deep thought. Joining a new project meant facing more challenges and responsibilities, but it also meant I could better utilize my talents.
Ultimately, I decided to accept Sikong Feng's invitation and become a senior executive in the company who was forced to work overtime!
I believe this is also a step towards my success.
Although I am the director of the Sikong family laboratory, the document that Sikong Feng made me sign actually stated that the entire group would give me 80% of the profits.
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves, then dialed Mr. Li's number. His familiar, steady voice came from the other end: "Hello?"
I gripped my phone tightly, trying to keep my voice calm and firm: "Mr. Li, I need your help to arrange for some people to help me find the addresses of a few individuals. This task is very important, so please make sure they can find all the accurate and reliable information."
Old Li was silent for a moment, seemingly thinking about something, then he slowly said, "Okay, I will arrange for people to handle this matter as soon as possible. However, can you tell me specifically who to contact? This way we can conduct a more targeted investigation."
I hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Li the truth: "These people are connected to a series of recent events, and I need to know their addresses in order to further understand the truth of the matter. Please believe me, this is crucial to solving the problem."
After hearing this, Old Li's tone became serious: "I understand. Don't worry, I will do my best to find these people's addresses as soon as possible and ensure the accuracy of the information. I will inform you of any new developments in a timely manner."
After saying that, Mr. Li hung up the phone. I put down my phone, feeling a sense of relief.
I hope that Mr. Li can successfully find the addresses of those people, help me unravel the mystery, and find the key to solving the problem.
At the same time, I am aware that this operation may bring more challenges and dangers, but I am prepared and determined to get to the bottom of it.
After all, the truth I'm seeking may conceal deeper secrets, secrets that could change the course of my life.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fist and secretly vowed to solve this mystery.
However, at that moment, I suddenly remembered something—among the people on the list that Mr. Li was investigating, there were several people who had been specially invited to participate in this "head-harvesting" operation.
This means they have a closer connection to the incident, and perhaps they are key figures.
I wondered to myself: Could these people be the masterminds behind the whole incident?
If so, why would they do that?
Or perhaps, they are merely pawns in a larger conspiracy?
Regardless, these questions have filled me with anticipation for the upcoming investigation.
I believe that as long as we follow the clues step by step, we will eventually find the answer.
I decided to start with these specially invited personnel to see if I could find any clues.
Through some investigation, I learned that one of the people was named Zhang Hua, a senior executive of a well-known company.
He is usually low-key and rarely appears in public, but he has close ties with many important figures in the political and business worlds.
In order to get close to Zhang Hua, I tried every means to infiltrate his social circle.
At a party, I finally had the chance to talk to him.
At first, he was somewhat wary of me, but when I mentioned the "headhunting" incident, a barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
I keenly noticed this detail, which further confirmed my suspicion that he was involved in the matter.
So I deliberately revealed some information I had to him in an attempt to pique his interest. Sure enough, Zhang Hua took the bait and offered to cooperate with me to uncover the truth behind it all.
However, I did not easily believe him.
In our subsequent interactions, I outwardly maintained a cooperative relationship with him, but secretly continued my investigation and collected more evidence.
Gradually, a vast and complex chain of interests came to light...
Unexpectedly, there were some cultivators who were about to exhaust their lifespans, and many ordinary humans also appeared here.
They carefully recalled the initial circumstances and discovered that they had all been drawn here by a mysterious force, eventually gathering at this place.
Some of these people looked haggard, as if their lives were about to end; while others were filled with curiosity and anticipation for the unknown world.
However, the instigator of all this was that mysterious being, who seemed to harbor unknown motives.
The mysterious man was so well hidden that we couldn't find any trace of him at all.
