Chapter 219: The Night Is Still Long

After reporting the situation, the two men in black soon received a response.

"Wait a bit longer. There seem to be a few more people in the target's home. No Spiritual Power Fluctuation has been detected, so they are tentatively confirmed as ordinary people. Their combat capability is uncertain; please continue to observe."

Upon hearing the communication, the two men in black replied.

"Received. We will continue to observe. Wait, the number of people on the other side has decreased by one since just now, and we haven't seen anyone leave."

A dismissive voice came from the other end of the communication, "It's nothing, they probably went back to sleep. Don't worry about it. This is just us testing their reconnaissance range. If they make any abnormal moves, retreat immediately."

"OK, understood."

After hanging up the communication, the two men in black continued to observe Yingzhou's house.

"That dark-skinned child wasn't there when we came to scout last time. When did he appear?"

One man in black asked.

"Not sure. He was probably found from those recent gatherings of stray children. After all, a son died."

The other man in black lay on his side, moving his arm, which had gone somewhat numb.

Just as the two were talking, the door leading to the top floor behind them opened quietly, and a sharp Catachan Combat Knife glinted in the moonlight.

A Catachan tough guy wearing a red bandana was slowly opening the door.

But due to years of disrepair, the door let out a creak. The Catachan tough guy quickly hid to one side to avoid being seen by the two men in black.

"Strange? Why did the door open?"

The man lying on his side slowly climbed up, stretching his stiff body, and approached the door.

"A door in disrepair will do that. Just close it."

The man in black who was observing the situation opposite replied.

"It's fine, I was just saying. Who would be bored enough to come here?"

The man in black who had stood up replied with a smile.

When he walked to the doorway and prepared to close the door, a muscular man suddenly appeared from the darkness to the side, wearing a red bandana, with knotted muscles, holding a combat knife nearly half a meter long.

The man in black was just about to react when he realized his throat had already been slashed by the combat knife. Blood sprayed out. He wanted to speak, but his mouth was covered by the muscular man.

"Why haven't you closed the door yet? What's going on? It's time to change shifts!"

The man in black who was scouting looked back and saw a muscular man standing behind him, wearing a red bandana, his upper body bare, holding a combat knife nearly half a meter long in his hand, with dark red blood dripping from the tip.

"You are... mmm..."

The man in black just wanted to speak, but his mouth was pressed by this muscular man, who slammed him hard onto the ground.

"Damn it, stay still, or you'll regret it!"

The man in black did not heed the Catachan tough guy's warning and kept trying to fight back.

"Tsk, what's going on? Damn it, why are you so disobedient? If you don't listen, I'll chop you."

As he spoke, the Catachan tough guy shook the Catachan Combat Knife in his hand with his other free hand.

However, the man in black, with his mouth covered, did not stop resisting; instead, he resisted even more violently. The surrounding Spiritual Power continuously gathered into his body, and gradually, a pitch-black Armor appeared on him.

The man in black's strength was also much greater than before. Sensing the opponent's strength increasing, the Catachan tough guy quickly slashed his Catachan Combat Knife toward the opponent's neck.

But it was blocked by the Armor that had suddenly emerged, and a sound of metal clashing rang out abruptly.

Both sides were surprised by the other's methods, but the Catachan tough guy did not stop his attack. Seeing the opponent using his full strength, he had to put aside what the Emperor had instructed him to do. The muscles in his arms exerted sudden force, pinning the man in black, who was starting to regain control of his body, back to the ground.

"Originally, the Emperor said that if there were suspicious personnel active in the area, we should take them alive if possible. Damn it, but the Emperor also said, if you encounter a stubborn Heretic, just finish them off!"

Seeing that the man in black was not responding to him, the Catachan tough guy lost his patience and pinned the man in black with both hands.

With two sounds of bone fractures, the man in black's arms were snapped directly, and the man in black let out a painful wail.

"Ah!"

The Catachan tough guy acted as if he hadn't heard the man's screams and broke the opponent's legs as well. The man in black was now like a wild beast, struggling frantically on the ground.

"Who exactly are you!"

"You should feel honored. Not everyone gets to see that great existence. You still have utility, but you will soon know that death can sometimes be a mercy."

As he spoke, the Catachan tough guy found the man in black he had killed earlier, took off his sock, and stuffed it into the mouth of the man in black who was still struggling.

Afterward, he hoisted the struggling man in black up. The pitch-black Armor the man in black had condensed had already disappeared, and the struggle was more like an instinctive bodily reaction.

Soon, the Catachan tough guy brought the man in black to a corner outside Yingzhou's house.

Yingzhou was waiting there with three medical Xiunu. He saw the Catachan tough guy returning with a man in black clothes whose limbs had been twisted into severe deformities.

Yingzhou raised an eyebrow. He remembered that this man in black seemed to be from the Inner City. Why were they still haunting the area? Did those guys in the Inner City have nothing better to do? Why did they have to trouble an ordinary person like him?

"Speak, who sent you to monitor my house?"

Yingzhou said to the man in black in a low voice, but the man in black gave a disdainful laugh.

"Who do you think you are? If you let me go now, mmm..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the man in black was kicked to the ground in anger by a medical Xiunu beside Yingzhou, who then kicked his stomach hard.

"Heretic! How dare you speak to the God-Emperor like that! This is blasphemy! Blasphemy!"

The other two medical Xiunu were also full of rage and prepared to give this man in black a taste of their own, but were stopped by Yingzhou.

The man in black was kicked into unconsciousness by the medical Xiunu before Yingzhou spoke to stop her actions.

"Wake him up. Do not let him die."

Soon, under the "meticulous care" of the three medical Xiunu, the man in black woke up from his coma. He glared at Yingzhou with angry eyes and was just about to speak when he heard Yingzhou say.

"It seems you still don't want to talk. It doesn't matter, the night is still long, and we have plenty of time." Afterward, Yingzhou said to the three medical Xiunu.

"Don't let him die. Anything else is fine, just make sure he can speak the truth. By the way, don't make too much noise; it's easy to wake the children."
