Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 975 As long as Qu Tong is still on Earth, she can't escape.

From then on, Xiao Zizai could be said to have completely escaped the torment of his inner demons.

He could not only kill freely, but also "eat" freely.

In the past, Xiao Zizai treated killing as a form of "feeding." Because he needed to suppress his demonic nature, he could not kill indiscriminately. Apart from self-defense, he could only join the All-Knowing Gang as a temporary worker, and he could also legally "exorcise demons" by imperial decree.

Even so, it still wasn't enough to eat; the demonic heart within Xiao Zizai was always "starving."

Starving will prevent one from growing up. This was the method he and Jie Kong used to control their demonic nature. However, since humans and demons are one, Xiao Zizai would also suffer if he was always hungry.

Therefore, he cherishes every opportunity to kill, and no matter how "unpalatable" the person may be, Xiao Zizai treats them as a rare delicacy.

In truth, his demonic nature could be satisfied with killing and bloodshed, but due to prolonged repression, Xiao Zizai gradually became perverted, and his methods of torture and murder became increasingly refined. His masterpiece was peeling Zhao Guizhen, a traitor from Maoshan who had practiced unorthodox Maoshan Taoist magic, into "human scorpions" in Biyou Village.

Amidst dismemberment, torture, and bloodshed, Xiao Zizai derives pleasure and satisfaction from his demonic heart, which he likens to a "feast." Different people, different methods of killing, each have a different "flavor," which Xiao Zizai names different dishes.

However, that's no longer necessary. Besides the fact that his demonic heart no longer affects his true spirit, so that no matter how many people he kills, he won't lose his mind like Mo, Xiao Zizai can also use the demonic energy and nature of the Evil Buddha and Mo Luo to kill his opponents directly from their souls, just like before.

That might not be quite right. The "demon" is the counterpart to the "immortal," and true "demon" magic is something mortals cannot comprehend. From a mortal's perspective, those killed by "demons" die by having their souls directly annihilated.

But that's not the case. In reality, the demonic energy erases its "existence" directly from its "fate" or timeline in a way similar to the Seven Arrows of Nailhead. The effect is like someone killed by Piccolo Daimaō—their soul doesn't go to the underworld, but wanders in agony.

He cannot be found in either the human world or the underworld.

In fact, supernatural beings do have methods to revive those whose souls have been destroyed, even for a moment. However, it would be laughable if anyone thought that this method could be used to resurrect those killed by Xiao Zizai using "demonic" magic.

His fate will be the same as that of the master in the original story who attempted to use a divine technique to unravel the secrets within Feng Tianyang's soul, only to have his soul scattered by Wugensheng's restrictions—he will directly suffer the backlash of the "demon." If things go wrong, he might also be caught in the chain reaction and die at the hands of the "demon."

It's just so scary.

This method of killing allows Xiao Zizai to completely annihilate a person from birth to death, from existence to non-existence, encompassing all methods of annihilation, since it directly destroys their "existence".

Of course, compared to simply torturing and killing, it would be better to make Xiao Zizai "eat" more and more.

Xiao Zizai had vaguely sensed this before, but he wasn't sure. Now that he had "eaten" these people from Yaoxing Society, he finally believed that what He Songling, this immortal, said was true.

"What a feast!" Xiao Zizai rubbed his stomach, as if he were really stuffed, and let out a burp. "Who are these people, Zhang Chulan? Has the company finally come to kill you?"

"What the hell?" Zhang Chulan was speechless. Why was Lao Xiao acting like Lao Ma, his first reaction was that I was being hunted down by the company? Was I really that hateful? The underworld forces were hunting me down, and now the official Na Du Tong was also hunting me down.

"I won't talk about anyone else, but you, Brother Xiao, you're a temporary worker who knows everything, and you even risk becoming a demon. You crippled one of the Ten Elders for your sake, and you still dare to say I'm being hunted down? If the company is going to kill someone, they'll kill you first, you traitor who sided with the gods!" "That's hard to say." Xiao Zizai smiled meaningfully: "Why was Chai Yan's last attack before he died aimed at you?"

"Maybe I was the worst of the three of us, so before he died he wanted to take someone down with him, and he thought I was the most likely candidate."

Zhang Chulan seemed to be casually making excuses for Chai Yan's behavior, but in reality, he knew exactly what was going on.

Something's definitely wrong with Chai Yan, and it's wrong with Qu Tong too.

Qu Tong's plan to kill Ma Xianhong was real, but so was her plan to kill herself. She was not a victim who happened to be caught up in Qu Tong's operation to silence Ma Xianhong; she was already on Qu Tong's kill list, and was even a higher priority target than Ma Xianhong.

"That crazy old woman," Zhang Chulan sighed. Ever since he was forced into the entertainment industry, he had been constantly beset by crises. From the initial corpse-driving Liu Yanyan to the powerful figure who now possessed two extraordinary skills and was suspected of being the mastermind behind everything.

Zhang Chulan suddenly thought that he might as well betray the company and join the immortals.

After explaining the situation, Xiao Zizai had no countermeasures. For him, the more enemies the better, as it gave him a reason to kill. Therefore, even if he had measures, he might not actually carry them out.

Old Xiao's smile is harder to suppress than AK's.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that He Songling leisurely walked back from afar.

"You're finally back!" Zhang Chulan rushed to greet him. "We almost died."

"He's not dead, is he?" How could He Songling not know about Qu Tong's little tricks? Although he didn't deliberately try to predict the plot or be an all-knowing spoiler for the sake of fun, he was the one who led Zhang Chulan, Ma Xianhong and their group north.

Although they were acting separately, they were still a single team, following the route set by He Songling. The cause and effect were clearly and directly tied to the deity. Even without He Songling needing to calculate, he sensed it the moment Qu Tong sent his men to act.

Qu Tong also had a feeling. He knew Zhou Sheng and knew that a sorcerer of this level could sometimes completely avoid misfortune and seek good fortune simply by "having a whim." If Zhou Sheng was like this, then immortals were even more so, even though the records did not indicate that He Songling was known for his sorcery.

But she had no choice; she had to take the gamble.

"Qu Tong ran away the moment she made her move. She ran away even faster than the group that came to assassinate you. I have no idea where she went."

He Songling shrugged. There was one thing he didn't say: he didn't know where Qu Tong was right now, but if he were willing to do the divination, as long as Qu Tong was still on Earth, she couldn't escape. He Songling was determined to kill Qu Tong. As a dignified immortal, he couldn't let these riddle-solving people lead him by the nose.

However, we'll track her down when we want to kill her; we won't do it now.
