Chapter 81: The Master Behind
"What are you going to do to me?"
"Like the way we did to you?"
Watching Yu Lin approach, Mo Hai gritted his teeth, wanting to spring up and kill Yu Lin outright, but his cultivation and flesh had been completely sealed by Laide, leaving him powerless.
Yu Lin shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm not that kind of person."
"So."
"Brother Su, it's up to you."
"Alright." Su Qu stepped out, looking as if he could hardly wait.
In Mo Hai's eyes, it seemed as if he saw some priceless treasure:
"First Class Merit—Mo Hai!"
"Who did you offend? Of all things, you offended Christianity, hahaha, are you going to hide it?"
Mo Hai turned his head away, not looking at his smug expression, muttering under his breath: "Was he a Saint of Christianity before? If the hell I had known, I'd have gone after him. Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"......." Seeing that he was already fuming, Su Qu withdrew the smile from his face and turned serious:
"Alright, whether you regret it now or not, it's already too late."
"From now on, you and your subordinates will be fully taken over by us; we hope you will cooperate with our investigation."
"You have the right to remain silent, but it's best not to remain silent."
Mo Hai, hearing that, looked at him again, a strange, inexplicable smile appearing on his face:
"What do you want to ask? What do you hope to get out of my mouth?"
"I won't say a single word, hahaha!"
Su Qu locked eyes with him, watching him smile; when his smile faded, he finally spoke:
"Your Divine Authority Association really has a god behind it, doesn't it?"
"............" Mo Hai's smile vanished, turning into silence.
Seeing him stay silent, Su Qu shrugged: "It doesn't matter if you don't speak now."
"When the time comes, we have ways to make you speak."
"Alright, come with me."
"Wait." Mo Hai spoke again, in a deep voice:
"Do you really want to know?"
Su Qu: "That's nonsense."
"Fine, then I........."
Mo Hai was about to continue, when suddenly—
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his body stiffened abruptly.
"Uh... ah..."
He groaned in pain, trying to struggle to his feet, but found his limbs completely unresponsive.
"What's happening?" Su Qu stepped back cautiously.
Yu Lin also frowned, and Laide immediately stepped forward, shielding him behind his body.
As for the other Divine Authority Association members, they stared wide-eyed at Mo Hai.............
Mo Hai lay on the ground, terrified, watching his legs turn transparent as if being dissolved by some invisible force.
"No... no!" He shook his head frantically, his voice filled with terror:
"I was only trying to trick them! I wasn't really going to speak! Please forgive me!"
"I wasn't really going to speak!"
But the dissolution continued, spreading rapidly from his legs to his waist.
Mo Hai's skin melted like wax, revealing the muscle tissue beneath, then the stark white bones.
"Damn..........." Mo Hai realized he couldn't escape, suddenly turning his bloodshot eyes to stare dead at Yu Lin:
"Fuck your mother, then let's stop playing!"
He mustered his last strength and roared:
"Gai Yin!!!"
The name seemed to trigger some taboo; Mo Hai's body instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
Strangely, the blood didn't splash down; it hovered in the air, forming a vague humanoid outline.
Snap.
A soft sound, and the blood mist dissipated.
The place fell eerily silent, leaving only a puddle of evaporating water on the ground.
Mo Hai, the once formidable Grand Void powerhouse, vanished into thin air, as if he had never existed.
"Gai Yin?!" Laide frowned, murmuring:
"The first murderer, cursed by my lord, has become an alternative form of immortality."
"They're behind him?!"
Laide turned, addressing Yu Lin: "Saint, please excuse my rudeness."
"I will return to report this matter to His Majesty."
Yu Lin saw his solemn expression and nodded: "Fine, go ahead."
"Thank you, Saint."
With those words, Laide vanished instantly.
Su Qu also frowned, equally surprised by the incident.
They know that Mo Hai is not the true master of the Divine Authority Association.
Because Mo Hai previously, though at the Five Qi cultivation level, could at most reach that stage with his talent and could not break through to the Grand Void.
Yet after more than ten years, he actually broke his limit and arrived in the Grand Void!
The Divine Authority Association is also expanding at a rapid pace, and with no strong backers, they are not trusted.
And the things that can take someone from Five Qi to the Grand Void... besides the few items held by the major forces that let one break limits—such as the Heavenly Bestowed Artifact like the Human Defeats Heaven Ring in Yu Lin's hand—only a deity can intervene!
As for the deity behind Mo Hai, it is Gai Yin, who in Western mythology can be said to be a second‑order ancestor of humanity...
Su Qu is very surprised, extremely surprised.
He turns his head toward Yu Lin and says:
"Yu Lin, this is crucial; I'll send you back first, then I need to take these guys to ask if they know anything."
"You just go back and rest, okay?"
Yu Lin nods, "Alright."
In the next instant, shadows spread over Yu Lin and carried him back.
Inside the dormitory.
"Back?"
Dragon Elder, having just finished a game, looks at the appearing Yu Lin and smiles, "What's wrong? Why does your face look off?"
Yu Lin gives a brief explanation, "According to the preliminary information we just got, the Divine Authority Association is backed by—Gai Yin."
"Dragon Elder, you know, right?"
"Hmm?" Dragon Elder certainly knows.
Although it has spent most of this period playing games, it hasn't neglected reading.
Balancing games and study, alright.
Naturally it knows the guy in Western mythology famed as the first murderer who killed his own brother.
It becomes interested and floats in front of Yu Lin:
"And then? Keep going, keep going."
"Then..." Yu Lin spreads his hands.
"There's no 'then'; the chairman of the Divine Authority Association shouted that name and died on the spot."
"Fine." Dragon Elder sighs, looking quite disheartened, and drifts in the air:
"Ignore it; he is their ancestor, and we don't follow them."
"Moreover, you're a good brother of Jesus."
"He has to come to worship."
Yu Lin lies down and replies offhand:
"We'll talk later; maybe the vampire myth we're heading to next will involve him."
