Chapter 199: An Shenyi Has Been Exposed! (Guaranteed First Chapter)

Suspecting someone of Possession, if mishandled, is nearly equivalent to sentencing them to death.

This crime warrants death as recompense; it is not excessive.

"I swear on my life that An Shenyi has been Possessed! If not, do with me as you will!"

Seeing Ma Ling'er'er so vehemently insistent, Fang Yue's heart sank.

This matter is most likely true.

Recalling all he had experienced these past days, Fang Yue had held a favorable impression of An Shenyi.

Never did he expect they would part this way…

Suppressing his emotions, Fang Yue took a deep breath.

"Go back to bed and lie down. I'll handle what comes next."

"Remember to keep me safe!"

"Rest assured, this is Luoye Cun—three Captains are here, plus me, four of us attacking together; it's dead for sure, no chance to strike you!"

"Good! Lead him to the three Captains' location—don't let An Shenyi come near me!"

"I have my measure."

After calming Ma Ling'er'er and helping her lie down, Fang Yue pulled open the door.

"Already?"

An Shenyi at the doorway looked stunned.

Less than a minute had passed—was it already over?

A man cannot say he can't!

Seeing Fang Yue's gloomy and downcast expression, he patted his shoulder.

"Don't lose heart—first time's always like this. I'll give you some medicine later; I guarantee you'll be roaring with vigor and enjoying night after night of revelry next time!"

The instant An Shenyi's hand touched Fang Yue's shoulder, Fang Yue's body stiffened, forcing a smile.

"An Shenyi, don't joke—by the way, I have something important to discuss with you. Come with me for a walk?"

"Something important?"

An Shenyi hesitated slightly, then his gaze shifted to Fang Yue's lower body, and he suddenly wore an expression of understanding.

"Hehehe, Yeye, take it easy—this is purely a psychological issue, not that you're incapable. Go back, adjust your state yourself, I'll prepare some more medicine—you'll break records next time!"

Ah… what even is this?!

Fang Yue's face darkened.

"Not that kind of thing—it's something far more important!"

Fang Yue had already sent a message to the tail waiting downstairs at the inn, instructing her to notify the three Captains of an urgent matter concerning the village's annihilation!

This was the convenience of player communication—information had been transmitted without a single word spoken.

Now, all that remained was to lead An Shenyi to the location; with four of them coordinating, the Possession would be slain, and all would be resolved.

It wasn't that Fang Yue was heartless—cases of Possession rarely had survivors; it was essentially a death sentence with delay.

"Something more important?"

An Shenyi kept glancing at Fang Yue's lower body—what could possibly be more important than that?

For a man, aside from earning money, nothing mattered more than that failing, did it?

An Shenyi didn't believe Fang Yue's lies, but still said: "Wait here a moment—I'll finish checking Ma Ling'er'er's injuries, then I'll come down with you."

Saying this, An Shenyi stepped into the room, brushing past Fang Yue.

In that instant, Fang Yue suddenly had an idea.

According to Ma Ling'er'er's account, An Shenyi had been Possessed, and the Possession's ability was memory erasure.

But what was its strength?

If I strike now—cut off An Shenyi's head—could I kill it?

No! If I fail… I'll alarm it.

All four Captains must be present together—only then will the strike be safest!

According to Ma Ling'er'er, this Possession's ability was memory erasure.

But it couldn't possibly be without limits—four Captains present couldn't all have their memories erased.

Also, there was only one chance—if detected, the perfect moment to strike would be lost!

Hidden Endurance! Must practice Hidden Endurance!

While Fang Yue was thinking, An Shenyi had pushed him outside and shut the door.

Then came Ma Ling'er'er's scream.

"Aaaaaaah!!"

"Don't come near me!!"

"Deputy Captain Yeye! You lied! Take him away! Take him away!!"

Fang Yue froze in shock.

Damn it!

This woman ruined everything!

He'd specifically told her not to give away the secret—and yet she screamed like that!

He rushed into the room, and his pupils shrank instantly.

Under the night sky, the 'An Shenyi' stood before Ma Ling'er'er's bed, back turned to him.

As if sensing movement behind, the 'An Shenyi' turned half its face.

From the right eye of that side face, black blood streamed.

Upon seeing Fang Yue, black blood instantly gushed down like a waterfall, splashing to the ground with a whoosh.

"Poss…ession…"

Fang Yue froze for an instant, memories of his encounters with An Shenyi flashing through his mind; then he gritted his teeth and lunged forward.

He was indeed possessed, just as Ma Ling'er'er had said!

But this wasn't supposed to happen!

It was supposed to be that he calmed An Shenyi, then quietly led him to the ambush site prepared by the three Captains, and together they'd eliminate him!

But now, there was no time left!

An Shenyi had revealed his monstrous form right before him—he had no choice but to act!

"An Shenyi, we were friends—I'll give you release!!"

With a roar, Fang Yue drew Cold Moon Blade—the cold blade gleamed like the moon!

Internal force surged, tiny sparks of flame flickering across the room, ready to erupt into a raging inferno.

At that moment, the gushing black blood of An Shenyi suddenly stopped, and his eyes regained… clarity!

"Black Grade Mid-Level Possession?!"

Fang Yue's pupils contracted, his face turning pale.

At that instant, his movements halted; his expression of shock and disbelief froze, then went utterly blank as he stood motionless.

"…Trou…ble…"

An Shenyi whispered, reached out, and seized Ma Ling'er'er—huddled in the corner of the bed—by the head, lifting her off the bed.

As his fingers tightened slightly, the terrifying pressure on her brain made Ma Ling'er'er's face visibly pale, her mind going utterly blank.

It's over… it's over!

He's really going to kill me this time!

This bastard doesn't care about my identity!!

No… maybe he doesn't even know who I am!

She felt death drawing near—the sinister killing intent was beyond her power to stop.

The fierce will to survive drove her mind into frantic motion.

"W-wait! I'm still useful to you!"

"…Speak."

The pressure in An Shenyi's fingers lessened slightly.

"I—I can command powerful Possessions to destroy Gu Yue Cun! No matter your goal, destroying Gu Yue Cun must benefit you, right?! I can do it! I can do it! I'm useful to you!!"

Facing life and death, Ma Ling'er'er desperately showcased her value.

But An Shenyi slowly revealed a cold smile, his fingers regaining their crushing force, ready to crush Ma Ling'er'er's skull, as he spoke coldly.

"Ignorant. With Han Laotou here, who dares speak of destroying the village? Who dares step into Gu Yue Cun? I cannot. Neither can you!"

"No, I can—I can! Believe me, give me a chance to prove myself! Just look at the mark on my body, and you'll understand—I truly can destroy Gu Yue Cun!"
