Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1005 Yin Mingzi (4K)

Thirty kilometers away in the Möbius Canyon, in a presidential suite in Romont, Carter paced anxiously back and forth in the living room.

"Your Highness Carter, what should we do now?" Angang Kanae asked seriously as she sat on the sofa.

“I…I don’t know either,” Carter said in a low voice.

The current situation has exceeded his expectations, and he is now at a loss, because the great man has never given them instructions in this situation, and they have never considered the possibility of failure.

They already knew what had happened in the Blood Dynasty; the Six Eyes Cult had given them a complete account of the battle.

Of course, this also included the news that the lord had been killed by the King of Rift.

Carter didn't believe that the Lord would die so easily, just like with Foggart. That time, it was just a substitute, not His true human form.

But this time... this time Carter didn't dare to draw a 100% conclusion, because he felt that the lord seemed to be serious as well.

If it had been someone else who killed him, Carter might still have remained optimistic, but this time it was Spreadt, who should have been an ally, who did it.

Spreadt is a man with a history of killing several named human beings; his power is unimaginable.

If Sprite were to make a move... she might actually be able to kill that person's human form.

Moreover, Sprite was eventually killed by Xia Shou. Although Xia Shou was in the Blood Dynasty and had some inexplicable advantages, this does not prove that Xia Shou himself was insignificant.

The biggest goal of this scheme was to kill Xia Shou, and the reason why that person went to such great lengths to join forces with the founder of the Six Eyes Cult was to increase the probability of killing Xia Shou.

This shows that the success rate of directly attacking Xia Shou in the present world is far lower than sending Sprite to fight Xia Shou from the Blood Dynasty era. This is a judgment made by that far-sighted sage, and it must be credible.

This is enough to prove that the current Xia Shou is even more difficult to deal with. Do they really want to continue to carry out those meaningless orders?

“Perhaps the Lord has truly returned to the Kingdom of God,” Kanae said, frowning with a grave expression.

“No, my lord is a man of great wisdom and foresight. He wouldn’t be so easily tricked. He must have already guessed that Sprite would turn against him,” Carter denied, but his tone was not firm.

"But we haven't received any further instructions. Are we just going to keep pushing forward despite our difficulties?"

What's the point of us breaking through the Control Bureau's defenses if Sprite is killed?
Who will make that heart cut through the earth, and who will ascend to heaven after it's cut open?
"Sprite is gone," Kanae said realistically.

The reasons why these people followed that person were very simple and very pragmatic.

As the next head of the Angang family, she shoulders the family's mission.

She wanted to do as her grandfather had said: climb over the canyon of thirsty teeth, sink into the sea of ​​endless blood, pass through the mysterious gate, and in the 1,500-foot-deep sea, enter the gate of the Jade Bureau to pay homage to its master.

That way, she can see her mother.

Although she didn't know the true origin of that person, she was certain that he could take her to the Ink Jade Bureau.

That sir showed her credible, irrefutable evidence and gifted her the precious, forbidden fragments of the scroll.

Of course, she didn't place all her hopes on him.

Although following that person is the most likely way to reach Moyu Division, she will not despair if she fails.

The Angang family has its own path to follow. If there are no shortcuts, then she will take each step carefully to walk the path that belongs to their family.

Besides, that person can take her to the Ink Jade Bureau, but Xia Shou can too.

That boatman from the Jade Bureau in the present world has this ability.

Kanae glanced at Carter sideways, deciding it was time to say goodbye to the British prince.

Unlike the hidden royal family, the An Gang family did not face the danger of extermination if they failed to complete their mission, so even if they separated from that person, they could continue to exist.

The An Gang family, as a bloodline family, has always had its own way of survival and has always maintained a delicate bottom line.

Even after following that lord for so long, the Angang family has never had any major conflicts with the Control Bureau.

The An Gang family did not participate in or directly assist in most of that person's schemes.

The only time she participated, in the one in Forgett, wasn't exactly a direct conflict with the Bureau of Control, because the witch led the team to Forgett for personal purposes.

Therefore, the relationship between Angang Steel and the Control Bureau can be eased.

Or rather, the relationship between their family and the Bureau of Control never deteriorated irreversibly; even when his brother became a wanted criminal, the family maintained their stance by severing ties.

If that person really fails, perhaps the family should completely side with the Control Bureau and try to please that modern-day boatman?
In her opinion, this seemed like a viable solution, but the last time she mentioned this idea to her grandfather, she was punished with family discipline after many years.

What are the reasons behind this?

Kanae glanced silently at Carter, who was pacing anxiously to the side, weighing in her mind whether to act according to her own judgment or continue to follow her grandfather's arrangements.

If Carter were handed over to the Control Bureau directly, a good relationship could be established immediately, but that would be a betrayal of the alliance. If that person's human form is not yet extinct, the consequences could be very serious.

Considering this risk, Kanae temporarily abandoned the idea.

She re-evaluated their partnership.

She, possessing the family's inherited barrier, and Carter, possessing that strange stone door, are both considered formidable fighters, but what about Li Mingzheng...?

Kanae glanced sideways at the man watching a TV series that Su Yue had starred in years ago.

She didn't know how to describe this man; he was stupid, sleazy, disgusting, and his interests were becoming increasingly perverse.

His desires were expanding to an extreme degree; ordinary imagination could no longer satisfy his distorted desires, to the point that he came up with a strange idea two days ago.

Because that person had previously instructed Carter to satisfy Li Mingzheng's desires within limits, Carter spent a large sum of money to find a pair of decent, low-tier actors, a man and a woman, to cater to Li Mingzheng's interests.

So what did Li Mingzheng do?

He had the two actors thoroughly research the web series "Ximen's Witch" before casting them as the male and female leads. Yes, that's right, it's the web series he previously starred in with Su Yue.

In this drama, he is the male lead who has no presence at all. Although in the script he is supposed to be a character whose personality complements the female lead's, and who will gradually grow in the future and eventually become a man worthy of the female lead.

However, his terrible acting made him look like a grunt in the first season, and his most important inner monologues and micro-expressions were terribly bad.

Ultimately, his status as the male lead only existed in the cast list. Apart from his former die-hard fans, everyone agreed that this was a single-female-lead action drama.

Now, he has found two actors to play the roles that he and Su Yue once played, and he has arbitrarily changed the plot so that the two characters fall in love and get together.

He made the two unfortunate young actors perform a scene in front of him, and then watched them act out the scene he had set up, ending up in bed.

And then... this idiot just watched the two of them wrestling in bed, while he watched excitedly from the side!

Even Carter said it was the first time he had ever seen this kind of game.

Carter said he has seen many perverts, and many men and women like to find a substitute for their dream lover to numb and please themselves.

But no one would find another person to replace them and let their imposter mess with another imposter.

How did he immerse himself in the role?

When Carter asked himself that question, Kanae clearly sensed that Carter no longer disliked Li Mingzheng.

He no longer regarded Li Mingzheng as a human being, but as an animal worthy of study and observation.

Normally, it wouldn't have been a big deal if this kind of perverse behavior had ended there.

When the two poor actors painstakingly completed the play, reciting the lines he had set, Li Mingzheng suddenly went mad and killed them, turning them into two pieces of clothing.

His out-of-control behavior thoroughly enraged Carter, because such things could easily attract the attention of the police and increase the probability of being discovered by the regulatory agency.

At that time, Carter and Li Mingzheng had an argument, and the scene was as follows:
Carter pointed his finger at him and demanded, "Didn't you make him act like you?!"

“Your Highness Carter, I would never do such a thing to Xiaoyue.”

"Get this straight, you're the one who made them act like this!"

Li Mingzheng added, "As actors, shouldn't they deeply understand the essence of the character? Since this person is playing me, they should be able to appreciate my true inner self, instead of just performing a character with contradictory plots according to the script I gave them."

Carter: "Then why did you have him act? Why didn't you do it yourself?!"

Li Mingzheng: "That woman isn't Su Yue. I won't betray my conscience."

Faced with Carter's furious questioning, Li Mingzheng replied like a sage, "They have tainted my feelings for Xiaoyue."

His reasoning was as follows:

He was very dissatisfied with the actress's portrayal of Su Yue.

The fact that the male actor did this to the actress who played Su Yue is even more unforgivable.

At that time, Kanae knew that Li Mingzheng had deviated from the realm of normal people.

His thinking has transcended the boundaries of human abnormality, entering a subtle abnormal state, and in just a few days, Li Mingzheng's abnormality level has increased by one level.

His superpower, "Skin Actor," has evolved again. Initially, this superpower simply allowed him to put on someone else's skin, gain their abilities and memories, and perfectly portray them.

Later, he was able to wear different parts of a person's skin on his own body. At first, there would be inconsistencies and awkwardness in skin color and shape, but now he can make the body parts that originally belonged to two people look harmonious through subtle adjustments.

After this final evolution, he no longer seemed to simply wear someone else's skin; he seemed... he seemed to be able to directly replace other people's organs with his own, for example, he could pry out his eyeballs like a doll's eyeballs and replace them with someone else's.

It's becoming more and more like an anomaly...

In fact, Kanae didn't think this ability was anything special. She had seen many superhumans with abilities far more bizarre than Li Mingzheng's, and none of them made her feel like they were abnormal.

The reason Li Mingzheng gave her this feeling was because of his speed of evolution and his ever-expanding, leaping imagination.

This rapid change is reminiscent of metamorphosis, where a tadpole transforms into a frog.

The richness of human desires in Li Mingzheng is fading away; most of his desires are becoming very few and weak, but his single desire is rapidly becoming richer. It is no longer a simple goal, but the process of pursuing it is beginning to include enjoyment.

If a normal person wants to go to a restaurant, their purpose is to eat, so they will choose to take a car, ride a bicycle, or walk there.

But Li Mingzheng was different. He had chosen a luxury hotel, finally managed to book a table, and had enough money to pay for the meal. He could take a bus or walk there, but he began to wonder... was walking there really worthy of this dinner?
No, I'm not worthy. Only driving a luxury car would be worthy of this meal. So I must hurry up and make money to buy a Rolls-Royce before I starve to death, and then I need to buy an expensive suit and learn the proper etiquette so that I can dine at that restaurant.

But... what if I starve to death before I earn enough money?
Should we spend some money to get something to eat first?

No, eating that cheap junk food has polluted my stomach. How can I possibly be worthy of eating at a fancy restaurant? I must earn a Rolls-Royce before I starve to death at the next meal!
—That's the feeling Li Mingzheng gave Kanae.

Abnormal thinking, and equally abnormal behavior.

She had no idea what kind of potential that person was expecting in him.

Was he really going to continue a plan that had already failed halfway with these strange creatures?
"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out.

Carter went to open the door, and outside stood a woman with no eyebrows whom they had never seen before. She was actually quite beautiful; if she gathered her bangs, which were draped on both sides, to cover her eyebrows, she would be considered an absolute beauty. However, her exposed forehead without eyebrows made her look somewhat sinister.

However, upon closer inspection, it cannot be said that she has no eyebrows. There is a thin black line on her brow bone, about one millimeter thick. It is difficult to see from a distance, but hard to ignore up close. It looks strange and awkward, not like an eyebrow tattoo.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I imagine you must be quite troubled right now, so I've come to show you the way, in place of your vanished master," the woman said with a polite smile.

Carter frowned warily: "Who are you?"

“My priest has already met with you, and I am Yin Mingzi, the current leader of the Six-Eyed Sect,” the eyebrowless woman said.
