The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

Volume 1: Chapter 161, Only Killing (Fourth Update)

The man couldn't help but shiver.

In the past, it was the animal that tortured and killed others, but now that the scene of being tortured and killed is right in front of it... it's probably fear and terror.

This was genuine fear, without a trace of feigned fear.

Although it is a demon and is inherently very different from humans, the fear one feels when facing such a thing is the same.

After all, demons aren't monsters; they're just like humans. If their heads are cut off, they die; if their arms are cut off, they feel pain.

It's only natural to feel fear when faced with such an obviously abnormal monster.

Its body went limp, and its gaze at Bai Qian was filled with panic.

Bai Qian gently lifted the hammer in her hand twice, and only after seeing its appearance did she put it down again.

My gaze fell upon it, and I examined it closely.

Not pretty.

Perhaps because half of its body resembled a cat demon, it certainly didn't look very good to Bai Qian; the thick fur gave it a tattered and messy appearance.

Of course, it may not look good, but right now, I do need it to help me answer some questions.

The ability to read minds has its limitations. After all, the Earth God's ability is probably only at the level of opening meridians, which is a level below that of the God of Calamity. In this case, the ability to read minds is not very useful when facing these strange things.

It would be more useful against ordinary people. Perhaps we need to find a way to improve this ability or find a substitute. Bai Qian thinks mind reading is still quite useful. At least she doesn't have to rack her brains to figure out what these people are thinking, which is much better than it is now.

"If you don't want to be like it, I'll ask, and you answer." Bai Qian casually found a chair nearby and sat down, saying indifferently.

The cat demon nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, showing no backbone whatsoever.

What backbone could it possibly have? In this situation, facing this kind of person, even the most principled person would lose all willpower.

They could easily beat you to death with one hand; thinking about it is pointless.

"origin."

"We are from Liangdu, servants of the Hundred Demon Pavilion, here to gather intelligence in Changcheng Prefecture on orders from above," he said hastily, afraid that if he spoke too late, he would end up like his colleague, smashed into a headless pulp with a hammer.

“At first, we came here to investigate information about the Chenghe God, but because He has not shown up in recent years, we have nowhere to investigate and can only spend our days here.”

"Recently, I've managed to get in touch with the local demon Qinglang Gang. According to the higher-ups, we need to do some things for them," the cat demon hurriedly recounted.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qian lowered her head and pondered for a while before raising her head again.

"The Qinglang Gang? What are they doing?" This was something Bai Qian really wanted to figure out. She had noticed what the Qinglang Gang was preparing before, but no one had told her the specifics.

Lingxi probably knew about this, but she was vague about it, and it seemed like she didn't really want to tell me.

We can't treat Lingxi the same way we treat other demons, so there's not much we can do for now.

"...We've been observing these past few days, but judging from Liangdu's instructions and our observations, they seem to be planning to set up the [Chen Yao Tongtian Formation]," the cat demon replied honestly.

Bai Qian tilted her head.

The cat demon knew that Bai Qian didn't know what this was, so he continued to explain.

"This is a formation created by the Imperial Advisor a few years ago. It is said that it can greatly gather demonic energy, greatly increase the demonic energy of monsters within the formation's range, and accelerate the advancement of demons. At the same time, people within the formation's range will also be affected by the demonic energy, and it may even directly turn people into demons."

The explanation was very detailed, after all, it was to save his life, and he was afraid that if he explained it even slightly vaguely, the other person would hit him with a hammer.

Even if I explain in such detail, there's no guarantee the other side will spare my life, but it's still a glimmer of hope.

"However, this formation hasn't been fully deployed yet. I only know that the Imperial Advisor has arranged for people to conduct some tests in various places, but I don't know the specifics of what it looks like," he continued.

"The Qinglang Gang probably has the same goal as Changcheng Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qian gently tapped the table, thought about it for a moment, and then stopped thinking about it.

The main problem was that she couldn't think of anything particularly useful.

After all, the only thing that comes to mind when one turns their head is to kill.

We need to find someone with a good head to think about this.

Pei Huan didn't come with me just now; she went to prepare other things instead. Otherwise, I could have let her think about it.

"What about Liangdu? Is there anything we should be aware of?" he then asked.

Bai Qian was still quite interested in Liangdu, since she would definitely be going there eventually.

Therefore, it's good to learn more about Liangdu's situation now. Even if you don't like to think, you can let others do the thinking for you.

Upon hearing this, the cat demon hesitated for a moment, but looking at the headless corpse beside it, it still awkwardly continued to answer.

"Well... His Majesty has been holding sacrificial rites to Heaven recently, while the Imperial Preceptor is preparing a magic array, presumably intending to spread the [Chen Yao Tong Tian Array] throughout the country. As for the Pavilion Master, he is still doing other things..." It paused when mentioning this matter.

"whats the matter?"

"It seems to be..." The cat demon's voice stopped abruptly, and its head exploded right in front of Bai Qian.

Blood droplets and fragments splattered on Bai Qian's shoes, and then more blood droplets splattered on the white shoes.

Bai Qian frowned as she watched the headless corpse fall before her.

It wasn't her doing it; it was as if she triggered some kind of mechanism, causing its head to explode.

Perhaps it's because the question it's trying to answer touches on something special?

I glanced at the panel; there was no mention of the monster's lifespan.

A slight annoyance arose in my heart.

The lifespan given by a cat demon wasn't much, so Bai Qian didn't care much.

But that doesn't mean we can accept it.

The master of the Hundred Demon Pavilion?

Bending down, Bai Qian picked up the hammer, glanced at the three corpses, and without staying any longer, walked downstairs with the hammer in her hand.

Not long after Bai Qian went downstairs, a long, narrow, dark gray eyeball emerged from the cat demon's body. This eyeball was about half the size of a palm and quietly crawled out of the corpse.

His whitish eyes darted around, still trying to sneakily observe what was going on.

The white dress floated lightly behind it.

Bai Qian stretched out her fingers and pinched her eyeballs.

The darting eyeball met Bai Qian's icy gaze.

Her slender fingers pinched it, and her gaze froze.

Eerie, flying, moving eyes, and a lone girl—this is a scene that might only appear in supernatural or horror novels.

It's just that, in reality, the roles of the two sides have been reversed.

Volume 1: Chapter 162, Kill One When One Appears (Fifth Update)

Its eyes were still moving around, but under Bai Qian's slightly cold gaze, its little movements were meaningless.

Bai Qian waited for the eyeballs to make further movements.

"I advise you to take care of yourself." Bai Qian didn't have to wait long; it wasn't a voice, but something similar to telepathy gently entered her mind.

"You killed those cats, so be it, we don't care. But if you do anything to me, well, that's another story." The message carried a threat.

Bai Qian looked at the eyeball in her hand and gently shook her head.

Ignoring its threat, I merely gave it a symbolic pinch.

She didn't plan to ask for any information; asking for information would be a waste of her time, and she wouldn't come up with anything anyway. It would be better to let someone else do it.

Let's take it back later and show it to Pei Huan or Ling Xi.

The firelight gently wrapped around his eyes, enveloping them and tucking them into his sleeves.

"If you dare do anything to me, the cabinet won't let you get away with it." Eyeballs were still trying to threaten.

Or rather, besides threatening, there's nothing else it can do.

Bai Qian ignored it, listening to its continued threats. With a casual flick of the fire, the light, moon-white flames instantly engulfed it, sealing it in a silent inferno.

It's still uncertain who will let whom go.

---

Lingxi entered the room and saw that Bai Qian and Pei Huan were already sitting at the table.

There was a pot on the table, and something was cooking in it.

She had some impression of this thing, but not much; it was kind of an old relic. She wasn't very familiar with some of the newer things.

“Miss Bai Yao seems to have something to do and won’t be coming.” Pei Huan sat next to Bai Qian and helped her get everything ready.

They wanted to invite Bai Yao over as well, but she had some important things to do.

He gently stirred the hot pot with his chopsticks a couple of times, then helped Bai Qian put some vegetables into a bowl. Bai Qian didn't say anything, but used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

Lingxi sat down next to him, picked up a spoon, scooped up a mouthful of the red soup, and took a sip.

It was surprisingly spicy, to the point of being a bit pungent.

Changchengfu's flavors are generally quite light, even leaning towards sweetness, so it's surprising that this product still has a market.

Bai Qian glanced at Ling Xi, thought for a moment, and then told Ling Xi about what had just happened.

Lingxi listened to Bai Qian talk about these things and nodded thoughtfully.

She wasn't too surprised by what Bai Qian said; she had already figured it out before.

"I am well aware of what the Qinglang Gang is planning to do. It's true that the things the Qinglang Gang has been preparing for these past few days are all for this formation," he continued.

"Furthermore, based on my observations these past few days, it's safe to say that the Qinglang Gang is almost ready."

Pei Huan, who was helping Bai Qian pick up food, frowned subconsciously upon hearing this.

Judging from Bai Qian's description, it's clear that Changcheng Mansion is not in a good situation.

Like Bai Fengcheng, he's probably only slightly better than Bai Fengcheng.

If it weren't for Master Qian, Bai Fengcheng would probably have been ravaged by the evil tide long ago. Moreover, the evil tide would likely spread to other places afterward, and who knows what would happen then.

Of course, up to now, Pei Huan has not actually seen his master Qian slaughter the ghosts, but he guesses it must be somewhat... cruel.

"What will happen after we're ready?" Bai Qian asked, puffing out her cheeks as she put a winter melon in her mouth.

"Just follow its description, that should be fine," Lingxi nodded.

"That's good."

Lingxi shook her head in confusion upon hearing this.

Bai Qian met her gaze and blinked.

Lingxi didn't notice anything.

Bai Qian thought for a moment, then took the eyeballs out of her pocket. The eyeballs were still sealed by the fire in the furnace, and Bai Qian placed them on the table.

"This thing."

Upon hearing this, Lingxi glanced at her eyes.

“I seem to remember it. It seems to be a demon from Liangdu. I heard that this kind of demon is not actually very strong. Most of the time, it is just a demon used to gather intelligence.” Lingxi thought for a moment and introduced it to Bai Qian.

"The main characteristic of this kind of demon is that these eyes are all its clones. Whatever the clones see, the corresponding original body will also see. This one is probably a clone, and the original body is in Liangdu."

"It won't answer any questions you ask it, since this isn't its true form."

Bai Qian took a bite of beef and glanced at him upon hearing this.

As I guessed, these demons are strange and have clones everywhere. They may not be that strong, but they are all incredibly difficult to kill.

They were all clones; after killing one, another would appear.

We need to find a way to solve this once and for all, such as a way to destroy the main body at the same time after destroying the clone.

After the clone is destroyed, the original body will also die.

So, when I think about it this way, there's still a lot I need to learn.

"Is this thing useless?" he asked casually.

"I guess so. Maybe we can try to get some information out of them?" Lingxi replied uncertainly.
