Dead, dead!

Li Yifei stared at the monster's corpse on the ground, bleeding profusely, his mind filled with doubt.

What happened just now?

He walked to the monster's corpse, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw the ghost-like head.

boom!

Li Yifei stepped forward, lifted his right heel backward, and kicked the monster's head away, rolling into the darkness. A tinkling sound could still be heard.

"Damn it! You're dead and you still dare to scare me, Fei Ye!"

Li Yifei clapped his hands, turned to look in the direction where he had just encountered the monster, and, driven by curiosity, cautiously walked inside.

But what happened next shocked him.

At the spot where Jiang Qian was just killed, there are several monster corpses, their bodies separated from each other, just like before.

All dead?

Who killed him?

Jiang Ye's image suddenly flashed through Li Yifei's mind.

Is it an illusion or...?

Tatata!

Just then, a series of footsteps approached, sounding quite heavy.

There are monsters too!

Li Yifei snapped to attention and ran as fast as he could towards the alley entrance.

"Don't eat me! Don't eat me! My meat is tough and dry."

"I've been overindulging lately and feel really weak! This food is really not good."

Zhao Kongcheng: "..."

He paused for a moment, shook his cloak, and sprinted at the speed of a 100-meter dash.

"Kid, don't run! I'm not a monster."

"Don't try to fool me. Monsters are really dedicated these days; they're even learning Chinese."

"You son of a bitch..." Zhao Kongcheng was speechless for a moment. He stepped on a foothold and landed in front of Li Yifei with a whooshing sound.

Li Yifei slammed on the brakes, and upon seeing the human figure, he took two steps back and landed hard on his backside.

Zhao Kongcheng lowered his eyes and stared at him, holding the cigarette between his fingers, exhaling a puff of white smoke as he asked, "Am I handsome?"

Li Yifei: "..."

After a brief exchange, Li Yifei finally lowered his guard.

Zhao Kongcheng stared at the corpses of the masked men on the ground, lost in thought.

Li Yifei looks like an ordinary person, so who killed these masked men?

He thought for a moment, then turned to look at Li Yifei, who was still trembling, and pointed at the corpses, saying, "These...you killed them?"

Li Yifei shook his head violently, "No, while I was running, I saw one of my classmates flash by, and when I turned around, all the monsters were dead..."

classmate?

Zhao Kongcheng frowned. How could a student possibly wipe out all the masked men in an instant?

Even Chi Jing's red cherry blossoms probably couldn't do that.

Could it be someone who has awakened a high-risk forbidden realm?

He asked seriously, "What are the characteristics of your classmate?"

"Black belt around the eyes, and quite handsome... but not as handsome as you!" Li Yifei quickly corrected himself.

Zhao Kongcheng nodded in satisfaction and took a drag of his cigarette.

He looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "Black belt around the eyes?"

Zizi!

At that moment, Wu Xiangnan's voice came through the earpiece.

"Old Zhao, there's another masked man in the old town area, just a short distance from your location..."

Before he could finish speaking, a golden pillar of light shot straight into the sky, carrying awe-inspiring divine power.

The cigarette in Zhao Kongcheng's mouth fell to the ground. "This is... damn it, the Divine Ruins!"

"Could it be that he killed all these masked men?"

His pupils contracted, and he slung the black box over his shoulder and ran wildly toward the golden pillar.

Li Yifei was left standing there, bewildered, his eyes slowly turning into vertical pupils...

[Ding! The host has altered the plot trajectory, delaying Lin Qiye's awakening by 30 minutes and affecting his first encounter with his guide, Zhao Kongcheng.]

Gained 2500 modification points.

[Currently at 3500 modification points. Upon reaching this point, you will receive one chance to win a prize.]

In a dimly lit corner of the old town, Jiang Ye frowned as he faced the golden light and shook his head helplessly.

I was pulled back by that old thief Sanjiu, so it seems I can only watch the Ghost Face King episode.

If I save Zhao Kongcheng, I should have enough modification points to be the first to get the lottery, and maybe even trigger a random reward from the system.

You must obtain a Forbidden Ruins ability before Lin Qiye joins the Night Watchmen, otherwise it will be difficult to follow the subsequent plot.

Once the Myriad Manifestations of the Divine Ruins are exposed, the gods of the Great Xia will definitely notice, and since they do not belong to any pantheon, they are likely to be misunderstood.

And the Seraphim, who is at the pinnacle of the supreme gods, noticed this. Normally, who would leave a hidden danger?

We don't have the strength to challenge them yet; we need to reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm or the Half-Step Dimensional Ascension Realm.

Of course, the most important thing is...

Jiang Ye looked up at the moon in the night sky.

On the moon, the Seraphim Michael's golden eyes narrowed.

His gaze shifted from Lin Qiye's dazzling golden light to the spot where Jiang Ye had just stood, a distance of light-years.

"That familiar aura... it's that brat who tricked me."

Michael frowned and lowered his head to think for a while.

Still unable to discern anything special about that mortal, he shook his head.

"Incorrigible! Still dares to covet my power?"

"Just wishful thinking on the part of mortals!"

Seraphim snorted coldly and continued to look at Lin Qiye, not taking Jiang Ye seriously.

He absolutely did not believe that Jiang Ye would deceive him again.

The next day at noon, at the Peace Office.

In the conference room, Chen Muye sat in his chair, listening to Zhao Kongcheng's report.

The more he listened, the more his brows furrowed.

"Old Zhao, this is impossible!"

Wu Xiangnan was the first to raise an objection, "That kid has just awakened the Divine Ruins, and his strength is only at the Zhan Realm."

"Based on your interview, you were the one who ultimately killed the masked man, which is enough to prove that he didn't kill the other masked men in the old city."

Chen Muyi nodded in agreement.

Hongying rested her chin on her hands. "Who could it be? Besides our 136th Squad, there's no one else in Cangnan who can deal with this mysterious person!"

Chen Muye said in a deep voice, "Judging from the masked man's fatal wounds, the knife marks on each of his necks are exactly the same."

"Their deaths all occurred at the same time, meaning the seven masked men were killed almost instantly!"

The underground conference room fell silent for a moment after these words were spoken.

Chen Muyi, who was practicing his swordsmanship, naturally understood what this meant.

Even if he had practiced swordsmanship for more than ten years, it would be impossible for him to make sword marks that were exactly the same.

This suggests that the person who killed the masked man was not only an unparalleled swordsman, but also likely as strong as himself.

Sea border?

Chen Muye's expression turned serious.

Zhao Kongcheng stretched out his hands and continued, "Eyewitness Li Yifei said he saw a transfer student with black eyebands."

"Then I checked Lin Qiye's file. He transferred from a special school to Cangnan No. 2 Middle School yesterday, and..."

"Even before he awakened the Divine Ruins, he already had black eyelids!"

"That's why I'm certain that Lin Qiye killed seven masked men."

His words made Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan look suspicious.

A student who has just awakened should not have such strong combat power.

Chen Muyi's expression was somewhat unnatural. After a long silence, he said, "Old Zhao, the higher-ups have issued an order to recruit the Seraphim's divine agents to join the Night Watch."

"You can handle this matter."

"Good job, Captain!" Zhao Kongcheng patted his chest.

Chen Muye nodded and continued, "We will continue to pursue Ghost Face King. He is seriously injured and cannot go far."

"in addition……"

His tone suddenly turned cold. "This masked man is no ordinary person. He might be a powerful expert from the Sea Realm. Proceed with caution!"

Wu Xiangnan narrowed his eyes slightly; he naturally didn't believe that Lin Qiye could have such exquisite swordsmanship.

Who exactly killed the masked man?
