Chapter 2536

Torrential rain crashed down with a roar... This abnormal change in heaven and earth was undoubtedly highly unnatural.

"What exactly happened... Could it be that just by appearing—merely through his emotional fluctuations—he can alter the weather?"

Itō Makoto's jaws trembled; he dared not imagine what kind of being could accomplish all this.

He frantically called out to the system inside his mind.

He no longer hoped to complete the mission... He now only wished the system could save him from this hell.

Yet, the Qi Collection System remained silent, like a powered-off device, offering no response.

Su Han squatted down, pressed his hand against Katsuyama Koyuki's back, and channeled the Ma Fu Zho power into her body, swiftly healing her.

"... President!"

Katsuyama Koyuki barely pushed herself up; when she saw Su Han before her, her eyes instantly reddened.

She flung herself into Su Han's arms, voice choked, "I was so scared... I... I thought I was going to die!"

"Don't worry!"

Su Han patted Katsuyama Koyuki's body, his voice gentle, "Everything is resolved... Itō Makoto has been captured by us."

He can no longer resist!

Through the perception of Kenbunshoku, Su Han sensed how unstable Katsuyama Koyuki's emotions were.

Thus, Su Han showed extraordinary patience at this moment.

"Mm..."

After comforting her for a long while, Katsuyama Koyuki finally calmed down, stammering, "President... I... I was wrong."

"... What exactly did you do wrong?"

Su Han was puzzled.

"I shouldn't have ignored your advice! If I'd known from the start, I should've killed Itō Makoto right away."

Katsuyama Koyuki's voice was hoarse; the rain-soaked hair clung strand by strand to her cheeks.

"It's not too late to realize now!"

Su Han shrugged, implying something deeper, "Do what you want to do!"

"Alright!"

Katsuyama Koyuki stood up and walked slowly toward Itō Makoto.

"... W-what are you going to do?"

Seeing Katsuyama Koyuki's expressionless face, Itō Makoto suddenly felt a terrible premonition.

But before he could say more, Katsuyama Koyuki condensed a chakra scalpel and thrust it straight through his body.

This slash was not fatal.

But it was only the beginning.

Next, Katsuyama Koyuki slashed again and again, steadily draining Itō Makoto's blood.

Under the pouring rain, blood stained the rooftop, then gradually diluted... At this moment, the Katsuyama Koyuki in Itō Makoto's eyes... resembled a demon.

Yet, no matter how terrified he was, he could not escape under Su Han's mental control.

He could only feel, in despair, death drawing nearer, bit by bit.

When Katsuyama Koyuki's final slash severed Itō Makoto's cardiac vessels, he gasped once, then died on the spot.

Katsuyama Koyuki bit her lower lip and stood frozen for a long while.

This was her first time killing someone—yet she felt no discomfort from her first murder.

Su Han's thought shifted, and the rain ceased; sunlight pierced through the clouds, once again shining upon the earth... upon Katsuyama Koyuki's cheeks.

"It's done. You did well."

Su Han said.

Katsuyama Koyuki nodded silently, lingered briefly in melancholy, then shook her head and forced herself to rally.

But then, Katsuyama Koyuki paused, realizing something was off.

"... Wait...! Why didn't I hear the task notification sound?"

With Su Han's arrival and the prior events, Katsuyama Koyuki had guessed she'd triggered a red alert in the society... If so, the lack of a notification was highly suspicious.

After a brief silence, Su Han turned his gaze to Itō Makoto's body before him.

The feedback from Kenbunshoku confirmed: Itō Makoto was truly dead.

"There's another possibility!"

Su Han realized something, pressed his hand against Itō Makoto's corpse—and instantly, a crisp sound rang out.

"Ding! Do you wish to extract the Qi Robbery System?"

"So it was."

Su Han murmured, and naturally clicked "Yes."

"Ding! You have successfully obtained 100,000 points."

"Ding! Task completed! Gonghui Society President Su Xiao Xiao has received 60,000 points; Katsuyama Koyuki has received 4 points."

"Alright!"

Su Han snapped his fingers; Itō Makoto's corpse instantly turned to ash and vanished. He looked at Katsuyama Koyuki, "Same as always—divide the system's recovered points according to the society's allocation."

Katsuyama Koyuki's expression changed abruptly, but before she could speak,

Su Han's point red packet had already arrived.

After a brief silence, Katsuyama Koyuki felt uneasy—this red packet was undeserved.

"Don't overthink it. Rest well for a while."

Su Han said calmly, "Just pretend you were attacked by a killer ghost..."

"... But!"

Gui Yanye hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and told Su Han the truth right in front of him. "I feel... the real killer might actually be me."

Su Han gave Gui Yanye a rather odd look, then offered his own suggestion. "If you feel like there's something wrong with your mental state, then go find Du Dao Ya Zi in the guild.

She has... mm! quite a lot of experience in that area."

"Alright! That's that then... since the mission is complete.

I should also retreat now that my work is done!"

Su Han smiled faintly. Without waiting for Gui Yanye to ask him to stay, his body transformed into a streak of dazzling light and vanished.

Gui Yanye stood in place in silence for a long while.

Afterwards, she sat at the edge of the rooftop, gazing up at the sky, watching the rays of sunlight pierce through layer upon layer of dark clouds.

...... Open eyes, close eyes, and he's back in his own room.

After nodding to Luo Cuilian and Wugeng Liuli, the first thing Su Han did was report that he was safe in the guild.

Su Xiao Xiao: "The matter has already been resolved! Please everyone don't worry."

Bai Hu Zi: "Resolved? Good that it's resolved! Gu la la la."

Tony Is Not The Richest: "What I wanted was a resolution? What I wanted was a livestream! No livestream, I'm about to die!"

Seeing that Gui Yanye was fine, Tony Stark also breathed a sigh of relief, but his tsundere nature destined that he would never show his concern on the surface.

And he said it in a very roundabout way.

Su Xiao Xiao: "I've already gone back to my own room! What are you going on about livestream for, shrugging."

"

Gao Ban Kyosuke: ""

Yukinoshita Yukino: "!!!!!"

Sakata Gintoki: "WTF,! You went back that fast? What kind of efficiency is that"

Gui Yanye: "... Yes! The president is so heartless.

He didn't even give me a chance to ask him to stay, he just left directly.

Pitiful.
