Chapter 109 The Bird in the Cage
"Bai...Brother Bai?"

At this moment, in the corridor of the General Administration, Tong Lu looked at Bai Yan's back, feeling a little confused.

Ji Ran had already left, but Bai Yan just stood there, motionless. But she didn't dare to go forward. Bai Yan gave her a feeling that he was a little strange.

"Tong Lu, go see your grandfather and tell Old Tong to have Xu San withdraw from the hall. This is over. Let's go back to the old forest first."

Bai Yan's voice was calm, without any hint of emotion.

"Okay... okay."

Bai Yan nodded, walked down the stairs and left.

Sunlight dappled the clean steps of the General Administration. Bai Yan took each step with great care. His spiritual energy slowly surged, smoothing the bruises on his face. He pulled a small porcelain bottle with a red cap from his sleeve, opened it, and took out a green pill. He swallowed it, and the injuries on his face visibly healed.

Before the emergence of the heavenly realms, people simply established a temple to cultivate merit and practice cultivation, and the practice was based on the Jiazi period.

Therefore, Bai Yan, who was less than sixty years old, was indeed a young man in the Immortal Family. He was extremely intelligent and talented, and was deeply recognized by the four major families.

Now that the All-Heaven Realm has emerged, everyone can access the Seven Sequences. However, only humans can be selected to enter the All-Heaven Realm. As for the Immortals, at most, after receiving approval from the Special Operations Department, they can enter the All-Heaven Corridor through certain nodes and explore the unknown areas.

So even with immense resources and the right to follow his emotions, Bai Yan, after more than forty years of practice, has only just reached level 3. For a human practitioner, as long as they don't die in the heavens, it normally only takes two or three years to reach this level.

Da da da.

Most people would only take the elevator to go up and down the stairs. Except in the morning, there was no congestion at any time. So when Bai Yan walked up the stairs, only his footsteps echoed.

He has walked this staircase for decades.

He was so familiar with it that he knew exactly where the sun would fall at any given moment. His footsteps treaded on the interwoven lines of light and darkness, his entire being seemingly split into two colors.

Hey.

As he walked into the hall, the sunlight fell to his feet.

He had never met an opponent, nor had he ever recognized a genius. If he could enter the heavens, he was confident that he would surpass Xie Yan.

But today, he met someone of the same kind.

There was no wind in the hall, but the hair by Bai Yan's ear was floating gently. A strong, heavy, and almost tangible aura lingered around him.

This intention was extremely condensed, and it had obviously formed its own method of intention.

Yifa is the written language given by the Special Operations Department.

The old immortal calls it the innate magical power.

Bai Yan knew how strong his will was, and naturally he also knew that Ji Ran's will was unshakable. Especially since he was a Luan guest.

He discovered something.

Bai Yan actually couldn't understand how he, a team member who had just arrived here to assist the East 9th District and would be leaving soon, discovered his own problems in just one or two days.

But, it doesn't matter anymore.

Two lions collided with each other. When one showed its claws and shook its mane, the other had only two choices.

Win or die.

He has never lost, not now, and not in the future, even if his opponent is a beast like him that will not retreat.

When Bai Yan saw Ji Ran's final look, he no longer considered reconciliation, negotiation, or procrastination. It was useless. Even if the other party made a promise, he wouldn't believe it. A beast with sharp teeth promised never to bite, and asked you to step into its cage. Would you believe it?

Bai Yan smiled gently, greeted the scattered staff members, and left the hall.

Sitting in the off-white elegant 728, Bai Yan remained calm, like a general planning a strategy. He put on a white jacket to cover the bloodstains on his sweater.

In the back seat of his car were beautifully packaged children's toys. Each toy had a greeting card filled with words, all written by Bai Yan himself.

On the passenger seat was a black leather suitcase and a large bouquet of flowers. The flowers were sunflowers, carnations, lilies, and gerberas. The flowers were placed in an exquisite basket, emitting a rich fragrance.

The car was driving on the road, and after leaving the city, it headed straight to Ping'an Welfare Home.

The elegant off-white 728 seems to be a happy signal for the children.

Although the sun had already begun to set, all the children still ran excitedly to the gate when they heard the sound of the car engine, staring intently, with happy smiles on everyone's face.

"Brother Bai!"

The little girl in the pink down jacket was giggling with a blush of excitement on her face.

The staff ran over to pick up the gifts from the back of the car, and nodded respectfully to Bai Yan and talked to him.

"Why, do you miss your brother?"

"Yes, I think about it every day!"

Bai Yan picked up the girl, and she nuzzled into his arms affectionately. The other children gathered around him excitedly, chattering and wanting to talk to Bai Yan.

Love can make people give birth to blood, and children who have experienced hardships are more cautious about happiness.

But is there really love?

"Brother Bai!"

"A security guard came over today. She's so pretty. I want to be a security guard when I grow up!"

Bai Yan's smiling eyes suddenly turned cold!
Although there was still a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with indifference. He looked at the dean and asked, "Did anyone come this morning?"

"Yes, he said he was here to check the child's identity and background. I've already informed Boss Zhu."

Bai Yan nodded.

The action is faster than you think.

After spending about an hour with the child, Bai Yan got in the car. The setting sun began to glow blood red, casting a shadow on the car.

He sat quietly, his eyes filled with disgust. Do you want to be a security guard when you grow up?
He pulled out an exquisite card from his pocket. The four corners of the card were embossed with gold flowers, and there was a large blank space in the middle.

He used the right hand that had been touching the girl to take out a Montblanc fountain pen from his pocket. The diamond-encrusted pen body, surrounded by scarlet gems, reflected a hazy light in the sunset.

The pen wrote on the card, the tip of the pen jumping rapidly, writing out the trajectory of the girl's next night.

She would play in the yard until dark, then be led by her teacher to wash up, hug the toys Brother Bai Yan had given her, and have a sweet dream.

Bai Yan's eyes were calm and indifferent. Without smiling, he looked like a sculpture left over from ancient Greece, vivid yet cold.

He raised his pen, and a strong feeling condensed into an invisible net, covering the blood-red tip of the pen in the setting sun.

Bai Yan crossed out some of the words and then modified the sentence.

She would play in the yard until dark, and when her teacher took her to wash up, the air conditioner outdoor unit fell off and accidentally fell on her. She would hold the toys that Brother Bai Yan gave her and hold a grand funeral.

After writing, Bai Yan put the card beside him.

He touched the right side of his cheek.

That was where Ji Ran had punched him, where he had been touched. Bai Yan's nails grew rapidly, transforming into black spikes. Then the spikes pierced his cheek fiercely, and blood flowed hideously.

stab-

Under his calm eyes, he tore off his own skin.

"Want to peel my skin off?"

"Then I'll give you one."

Bai Yan spread out his own skin and wrote again with the pen.

Tonight, Zhuoxian will thoroughly investigate the life histories of all the children, gamblers, and women, hoping to uncover some clues. However, his thoughts are interrupted. A powerful cultist arrives at the headquarters. Hypnotized and alienated from all ordinary people, she attacks Zhuoxian. Zhuoxian is severely injured, but his powerful physical skills prevent him from being killed instantly. Tong Lu and Tong Lao appear and join him in the fight, ultimately stalling the attack until Zha Hu appears and drives the attacker away.

Bai Yan's pupils dilated, and he froze in place. Then, a suppressed laugh erupted from his throat!
"Ha ha ha ha!!"

This is God's will!

This is God’s will!!
His hand trembled slightly as he held the pen. He had spent his entire life pursuing control, pursuing the snares of fate. Tonight, fate had finally shown its favor!

He couldn't make his own fate, he could only modify it. And Ji Ran's fate tonight, if modified even slightly, would be doomed!

Bai Yan concentrated his attention, and a strong intention emerged around him.

A vaguely visible birdcage, covering the surroundings, slowly rose in all directions. Some dirty corners of the entire Ice City, casinos, welfare homes, dance halls... even the rooms of some poor households, college students' dormitories, and office buildings in the commercial district were filled with a scent similar to that of a birdcage.

He made corrections and put pen to paper.

Tonight, Zhuoxian will thoroughly investigate the life histories of all the children, gamblers, and women, hoping to uncover some clues. However, his thoughts are interrupted. A powerful cultist has arrived at the headquarters. Hypnotized and alienated all ordinary people, she attacks Zhuoxian. Zhuoxian is severely injured, but his powerful physical skills prevent him from being killed instantly. Unfortunately, Tong Lu and Tong Lao have already left, and Zha Hu has not returned in time. He is left to fight alone...

Brush and pull!

Bai Yan was stunned. When he wrote "alone", he crossed out the line with a flick of his pen.

He refused to believe it and continued to make changes.

Horizontal lines crossed out the words "alone" he had written.

Bai Yan was sweating profusely, and his eyes had lost their usual calmness!

Damn! What on earth is next to him?
The idea of ​​fate intertwined could not shake his destiny! But Bai Yan looked at the original trajectory. After losing Tong Lu, Tong Lao, and Zha Hu, he had no one at all!
"Okay, okay, then take whatever you have with you and die!"

Bai Yan closed his eyes, lost in his own thoughts, pointing to the final scenario that would lead to Ji Ran's death. Then, he followed fate and let fate write the final outcome.

He had a vast army, but he would ultimately fight alone. The girl's sharp blade pierced his heart, chopped off his head, and hung it above the main office gate.

Bai Yan let out a long sigh and smiled as he looked at the ending.

As long as the ending is written down, it will definitely come true.

No one or anything in this world can change the fate that this world has set.

Even the strongest practitioner cannot do it.

Bang!
Behind him, a dull sound was heard in the night, followed by screams, crying, and terror!
Bai Yan felt like he was taking a bow at a wonderful opera, revealing an expression of enjoyment amidst the cacophony of sounds. That was the ultimate feeling of control, the pleasure of manipulating one's fate.

Everyone is his "bird in a cage".

hum-

The elegant 728 made a low roar, and he couldn't wait to rush to the next performance to witness the script he had written with his own hands.
