Chapter 379

~7 min read 1,344 words

The Nieren Jin Zilai died.

Died cleanly, simply, without dignity.

The battle scene was not as exciting as dealing with the ghost-eye silhouette, as if the one who died was just an ordinary cannon fodder of the enemy.

But this didn't mean that this Nieren was weak.

If it followed the normal process, it should be several Lotus Juanren surrounding and intercepting, Nieren and Juanren showing their abilities, fighting wits and courage, calculating non-stop, and whether they could kill this Nieren was still an unknown.

Being able to kill Jin Zilai so easily this time was all thanks to the man who crawled out of the chair.

This person had an ordinary appearance, ordinary clothes, and looked like he had no characteristics. Even if he stood opposite, Wu Xian had no deep impression of him. As long as he turned around, he would forget the person's appearance.

His code name is 'Yu Rang'.

Like Jing Ke, Yu Rang was also one of the top layers of the Creed organization. He happened to be passing through Fuyuan City by road and heard that a Nieren was about to be caught, so he took the initiative to come and help.

Big shots lowering their status to handle small matters personally sounded a bit strange, but the Creed was such an organization.

They never engaged in equal opposition, or used the reason of training subordinates to let subordinates fight for their lives. Every Juanren had trained enough in the Fudi and didn't need to fight for their lives in reality.

When power was dominant, as long as the high-level had time, they would take action personally, saving subordinates a lot of trouble.

When power was weak, as long as it was beneficial to the overall situation, the bottom-level small members would also rush to invincible enemies like moths to a flame.

Yu Rang's ability could not only make enemies ignore himself, but also make enemies ignore all dangers around them, stepping into the traps he set without any vigilance, thus completing the perfect assassination.

If it weren't for Yu Rang, Jin Zilai would have sensed danger when approaching his house.

This ability was somewhat similar to a teammate Wu Xian encountered in a certain Fudi, but it was much stronger than that teammate.

As for who that teammate was, Wu Xian thought about it carefully and found that he couldn't remember.

Wu Xian sincerely thanked Yu Rang: "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you being here, I really wouldn't dare to sit in front of him and talk freely."

Yu Rang waved his hand: "It's okay, this is what should be done. This is just after-dinner exercise for me, but it can save you a lot of trouble, and maybe save two more lives. Why not do it?"

"It's you, being able to accurately find this Nieren's residence is really not easy."

The two had a round of commercial mutual praise.

The Chenghuangsuo employees began to enter the room to clean up the scene. Jin Zilai's corpse was packed in a corpse bag full of runes, obviously not something that could be buried simply.

After chatting for two sentences, Wu Xian asked his doubts.

"Your martial power far exceeds this Nieren. Why don't you try to capture him alive? Maybe you can ask for information about other Nieren."

Yu Rang answered casually: "Because it's meaningless. Every Nieren is independent. There is no prison in the world that can detain Nieren. That candle and cloak are not physical entities, just like the Juanren's certificate, which cannot be deprived. Even in prison, they can use their abilities..."

"Just like Juanren." Wu Xian's eyes moved, "Then he said that the ones who died were his wife and children..."

Yu Rang nodded: "He was right."

Wu Xian's eyes became complicated: "In that case, Nieren are the indigenous people of the real world. They also have parents, children, loved ones, and friends. Then why do they rack their brains to destroy the world?"

Yu Rang spread his hands.

"Who knows? There are always people who hate their hometown like an enemy, and there are always people who lead the way for the enemy when the enemy attacks. I once suggested renaming Nieren to 'Zhiren', but unfortunately, this suggestion was not passed..."

... When leaving Jin Zilai's house.

It was already three o'clock in the morning. There was little traffic at night, and the air had a fresher taste than during the day.

Returning to Changchun Garden Complex, Wu Xian was surprised to find that the Nieren was dead, but the matter here was not over yet.

The Chenghuangsuo employees were busy non-stop. Several Juanren were sitting on the curb in a sulk, looking embarrassed. They thought they could make money easily this time, but didn't expect to escape by luck after using up their abilities.

Han Xiaoying ran to Wu Xian, out of breath, and said to Wu Xian awkwardly: "You are finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. There is something very important to tell you."

Wu Xian secretly called out bad. Seeing her expression, he knew there was absolutely nothing good.

"This malevolent entity is different. The whole Building 3 has been contaminated. In every pit, there is a living malevolent eye hidden. The cost of clearing it bit by bit is too high, and those people are crazy about drilling holes in the wall, and more than twenty load-bearing walls have been pierced, so..."

"So what?"

Han Xiaoying looked up.

"So before dawn, Building 3 will be demolished. The Chenghuangsuo will surround the ruins and soak them with high-concentration 'entity-clearing liquid' to ensure that no hidden dangers are left here."

Wu Xian's mouth twitched, and his heart also ached.

Is it easy for young people to get a house these days? His house had just arrived, and he hadn't warmed it up yet, and it was blown up? Wu Xian recovered from this blow after a while.

Anyway, that house was an unexpected windfall, and the location wasn't good, and it was old, so it didn't matter if it was gone.

He was about to show his generosity when he found that Han Xiaoying still didn't dare to look at him directly.

"Still, still bad news?"

Han Xiaoying nodded: "It's like this, your house and the building next door have also been contaminated. According to the Chenghuangsuo's regulations, these two buildings need to be vacant for half a year for observation."

"In addition, blowing up a building is a bit too big an impact."

"Anyway, Changchun Garden Complex is considered an old, broken, and small place. It's better to find a developer to flatten the entire complex and build a new building project here, so that the impact can be minimized."

"Your house... um... it's best to blow it up today too."

This news hit Wu Xian like a bolt from the blue, making Wu Xian see stars.

"No, absolutely not!"

"This house was passed down from the previous generation. I spent all my savings to renovate the house. How can you let me move just because you say so?"

"I worked conscientiously to help you clear malevolent entities and catch Nieren, and after I finished, I turned around and found my house was gone?"

"Where is the reason for this in the world?"

Seeing Wu Xian about to explode, Han Xiaoying whispered in Wu Xian's ear: "You are already a Lotus Juanren. The Chenghuangsuo will fully compensate you for your losses in the entity-clearing operation."

"And the loss will be reported by me to the higher-ups. Once the house is blown up, the loss will be difficult to verify, so I want to value your house before blowing it up..."

The rage on Wu Xian's face disappeared instantly, turning into a fawning look: "Sister Han, that... if my car is also blown up with the house, can you compensate me for a new car?"

Han Xiaoying lowered her head, pinching the corner of her clothes: "This is not good."
