Black Book

Chapter 296: Grasp of Immortality
With the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile, Zhu Haomiao whispered to comfort her.

"I've already said that you and I are destined to be together, so why bother struggling?"

Under the terrified and distorted eyes of the black-faced giant, the young man raised his arm, and a ferocious snake-shaped energy force visible to the naked eye solidified in his palm, swaying and wriggling like a living thing.

"Don't be afraid. It is your highest honor to be my food."

Seeing the young man approaching, the dark-faced giant subconsciously struggled backwards, his vest pressed against the wall.

"No! Don't come over here, ahhhhhhh!"

........................

On the ground outside the prison, Yan Yunsheng and others felt a violent vibration under their feet, and vaguely heard a shrill and creepy scream coming from deep underground.

After swallowing their saliva, the group of people looked at each other, and worriedly urged Yan Yunsheng to go down and take a look.

"The opponent is a sixth-rank master, and Inspector Li is so young, what if he gets hurt?"

"That's right, go down and help. We are guarding here. If the enemy rushes out, we will hold him back at all costs!"

…………

Listening to his subordinates' opinions, Yan Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, then gripped his long sword and stepped carefully into the prison.

Although I know that it is unlikely that Li Lin will suffer a loss, but the life-and-death fight is extremely dangerous and anything can happen. It would be good to have him by my side to help and act as a human shield to block a blow at a critical moment...

Covering his chest, his internal organs that were injured in the battle just now still ached slightly, but Yan Yunsheng's face was firm, he gripped his weapon tightly, and walked towards the stairs leading to the underground vigilantly.

But at this moment, a light sound of footsteps came from the stairwell, and a slender and elegant outline slowly emerged in the darkness.

Seeing the unharmed young man walking out of the shadows with a satisfied look on his face, Yan Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief, put away his long sword, and saluted.

"grown ups."

"Ah."

Smiling and nodding to Yan Yunsheng, Zhu Haomiao gave instructions in an orderly manner.

"All personnel involved in this operation will be credited with merit."

Immediately, the boy's expression changed and he looked up at the sky with sadness and compassion.

"Also, I have to report this sad news to the General Administration. A ruthless sixth-rank killer broke into our prison and killed everyone he saw. All the serious criminals in the underground cell were killed. I hope the General Administration will send someone to identify him as soon as possible and close the case and file it..."

Yan Yunsheng: “…………”

After hearing the young man's words, Yan Yunsheng calmed down from his nervous state and immediately understood Li Lin's strange behavior just now.

It turns out that he deliberately let the enemy break into the prison!

The purpose is to... settle the account?!

hiss~
Taking a deep breath, Yan Yunsheng looked at Zhu Haomiao with an indescribable look, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

In such a tense and dangerous situation just now, I, a veteran official, didn’t think of such a bold move. How did you think of it so suddenly?

Why are you so skilled? !
After being surprised, Yan Yunsheng quickly adjusted his mindset and began to find and fill in the gaps.

"I understand, sir. That sixth-rank killer..."

Yan Yunsheng used his palm like a knife and fiercely scratched his neck. Seeing this, Zhu Haomiao sighed and lamented.

"Don't bother. That madman killed people without a trace. I was so scared that I accidentally killed him."

Hearing this, Yan Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good...no evidence...

wrong!

Why are you so professional, sir?
After taking another indescribable look at the young man, Yan Yunsheng shook his head and frowned in deep thought. However, since he was killed in an attack, the corpses that had no external injuries and should have been "suddenly ill" were not appropriate...

Thinking of this, Yan Yunsheng quickly clasped his fists.

"Sir, those prisoners who died on death row deserved their punishment, but the dead are the greatest after all. I think we should help them to tidy up their faces so that they will look better when the coroner comes to identify them..."

Understanding the implication of Yan Yunsheng's words, Zhu Haomiao nodded in appreciation.

"You are so thoughtful. I'll leave it to you."

"As ordered!"

Yan Yunsheng saluted with his fists and rushed straight to the stairs, ready to drag out the murderer's body and clean it up together with the "victim's" body to avoid revealing any flaws.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao comforted the injured constables and confirmed that none of them were in danger of life. He then took out a bowl of [Qilin Soup] and dissolved it for them to drink, which immediately received another wave of gratitude.

The people are simple and honest... If you treat them a little better, they will be willing to go through fire and water for you...

Sighing and shaking his head, Zhu Haomiao walked away, his mind gradually sinking into his body.

[Black Book]: Swallows source matter, [Body] +1
The taste of a sixth-rank warrior is really great...

It has a beefy flavor, is crunchy, and is five times more nutritious than the minion!
He couldn't help smacking his lips, but the boy quickly realized that it was because of the fatal move he made.

If you were to be gentler and use a slow and steady method, you definitely wouldn't be able to get so much essence at once...

After all, it is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. If it were not for settling the account, he really wanted to spare the other party's life, keep him in the dungeon, and take a few pieces from him every now and then.

Alas... I have experienced hunger before, and I hate to see food wasted...

Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao's mind moved, and when he saw the following information, his melancholy brows relaxed again.

[Gluttony] +289
[Gluttony]: LV.1→LV.3 (30/300)

[Body] +3
[Qi] +1
[Effect] +1
[Greed Coins] +27
Raising his hand, a snake-like shadow visible to the naked eye appeared in Zhu Haomiao's palm. Staring at this vivid and ferocious shadow, Zhu Haomiao rubbed his chin with interest.

[Gluttony] has been promoted to LV.3, and its energy level has been raised to Silver. The power and frequency of this move seem to have been greatly enhanced...

Thinking of this, the young man suddenly had an idea.

Gotta give this a name!

correct!

You must look more majestic so that you can show off when you shout out your moves next time... No, you must look more majestic so that you can intimidate the enemy!

Controlling the snake-like shadow to stretch and sway, Zhu Haomiao supported his chin, his thoughts flowing.

Snake bite?

No, that's too simplistic and crude.

A heartfelt hand?
Emmmm...it seems like something has been exposed...

After pondering for a long time, the boy suddenly had an idea in his mind and remembered his talent in a game in his previous life.

[Grasp of the Undying]!
"Very good, from now on you will be called Grasp of the Undying!"

With a hint of evil taste, Zhu Haomiao raised the corners of his mouth and suddenly clenched his five fingers. A faint green evil light flashed in the eyes of the strange snake shadow. Its upper and lower jaws opened 180 degrees and bit fiercely, as if it had bitten something to pieces in the air.

After his anger dissipated, the young man walked out of the Anti-Theft Bureau leisurely with his hands behind his back.

In a private room on the upper floor of a restaurant not far away, a lady in gorgeous clothes leaned against the windowsill, staring quietly in the direction of the Anti-Theft Bureau.

Although she couldn't see what was going on inside due to the trees and walls, the shouting and killing sounds had disappeared, and the originally chaotic atmosphere had gradually calmed down...
