Why were the sedatives ineffective on you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to know?\" Ye Lin asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-hearted boss nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me first, how many people know about my ability to regenerate organs?\" Ye Lin countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-hearted boss’s lips had already turned purple from the cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just me... That day I saw you sell two kidneys and your corneas and leave, so I figured you wouldn't live long anyway. I thought I might as well make use of the waste, bring you back, harvest the rest of the useful organs, and collect some money on the side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I didn't expect that even though you were blind, you could still move through the black market as if nothing were wrong. I became interested in you. After some investigation, I found out you were an orphan, so I had my men set a trap to bring you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin slowly approached the black-hearted boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it really just you who knows? Why do I feel... like you're lying to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I wanted to keep the secret of organ regeneration all to myself, I didn't tell anyone. Even my subordinates only knew they were supposed to kidnap you, but they didn't know why,\" the black-hearted boss said truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I've told you everything I know. Now you should tell me why you weren't afraid of the sedatives, right?\" the black-hearted boss pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Do you want me to tell you... or do you want me to tell the person behind you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin took the black-hearted boss’s knife and severed his left hand in one stroke. The arm, frozen solid like an ice block, hit the ground and immediately shattered into shards of ice. A small black camera that had been clutched in his hand also fell out at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin leaned down and, amidst the black-hearted boss’s pale complexion, picked up the camera. He then directly activated a Forbidden Spell; red-purple karmic fire burned fiercely, reducing the camera to ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is the person behind you?\" Ye Lin held the knife to the black-hearted boss’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, just kill me then.\" The black-hearted boss closed his eyes, resigning himself to his fate. \"If I don't tell you, only I will die. If I tell you, my family will...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Lin had already struck. The black-hearted boss’s head rolled away like a watermelon, his face still wearing an expression of disbelief, as if he hadn't expected Ye Lin to act so cleanly and decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing off the black-hearted boss, Ye Lin pointed the knife at his own stomach. Immediately after, he performed a very standard seppuku and removed his own stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be seen that his stomach was wrapped in several layers of plastic bags; the food he had eaten containing the sedatives was all inside the bags, having never entered his stomach to be digested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had an immortal body, toxins were still effective on him; they just couldn't kill him. When he was wrapping it earlier, he was afraid the plastic bags would leak, so he had even used five layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why he used plastic bags... firstly, because plastic is a high-molecular compound that cannot be degraded by substances in nature, let alone corroded by stomach acid; secondly, this stuff is cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After removing all the sedative-laced food from his stomach, Ye Lin stuffed his organs back into his belly haphazardly and let them heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be safe, he didn't intend to let a single person in this farmstead go. Ye Lin directly activated a Forbidden Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forbidden Spell—Undead Return to the Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Forbidden Spell—Undead Return to the Realm: The Forbidden Spellcaster's brain cells die at a rate of 100 million per second, forming a barrier sealed by countless undead creatures. This barrier cannot be broken until the Forbidden Spellcaster dies.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note: If the barrier is attacked, it will accelerate the death of the Forbidden Spellcaster's brain cells.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Undead Return to the Realm was activated, countless white, ghastly skeleton warriors crawled out from the ground, their hollow eye sockets burning with ghostly blue soul fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, headless knights, bone dragons, liches, and all sorts of undead creatures emerged continuously, surrounding the entire farmstead. Unless Ye Lin was killed, no one could escape from within this farmstead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people inside the farmstead were stunned with fear; they had never seen such a terrifying sight. This scene was like a natural disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, those undead creatures seemed to have no intention of attacking them, merely standing guard quietly around the farmstead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin walked out, pushing open the door to the private room, one hand holding the knife and the other holding the black-hearted boss’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Boss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Wang, who was guarding the door, was scared silly. Although he had heard some strange noises earlier, he remembered the black-hearted boss’s order that no one was allowed to enter without his command, so they had stayed at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected that by guarding the door, he would end up guarding the black-hearted boss’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get him! Take this brat down!\" Manager Wang shouted. The surrounding bodyguards rushed up instantly; they were all Transferred Professionals, but their levels were not very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forbidden Spell—Karmic Fire Burning the Heavens!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin cast a Forbidden Spell, and most of those who approached him died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... why were you able to wake up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Wang fell to the ground in fear, his face deathly pale. He clearly remembered confirming multiple times that Ye Lin had fallen unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks to you, I woke up. By the way, I have a question for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin smiled as he approached Manager Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is the person behind you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Wang’s pupils constricted violently, and his Adam's apple bobbed, but he did not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not going to say it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cruel smile appeared on Ye Lin’s face. He struck, plunging the knife into the chest of a nearby bodyguard who was still breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bodyguard’s face was full of disbelief, staring blankly at Ye Lin. *He didn't tell you, so why are you stabbing him? Why are you stabbing me?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're a devil!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terror in Manager Wang’s eyes deepened. The teenager in front of him was simply the incarnation of a demon, killing people so nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did he know, when Ye Lin was testing his own immortal body earlier, he had been far more cruel than this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, can you talk now?\" Ye Lin pulled out the knife, walked over to another bodyguard who had been severely wounded by the Karmic Fire Burning the Heavens, and looked at Manager Wang as he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The person behind this is someone you can't afford to provoke. I advise you to leave!\" Manager Wang gritted his teeth and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His response was another expressionless strike from Ye Lin, and another corpse appeared on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing this person, Ye Lin did not go to harm the other bodyguards this time, but instead walked up to Manager Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether the person behind this is someone I can afford to provoke is not important. But if you don't talk, you will die right now. Think it over yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Ye Lin raised the knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Wang’s terror reached its peak instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll talk! I'll talk! The person behind the boss is the underground king of Qingcheng, Kensen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1290,"2026-06-21T02:52:47.916Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","fb140e2e854a0bc39fbd969391c83f309d5173c68db09663e03e6e8b1574f697","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-18","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-16",847,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-cover.jpg"]
