All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 235 Top-Tier Slacker

squeak - squeak -

The ancient sorcerer rode his bicycle slowly along the path.

His name tag on his chest read: Xu Cheng.

In his arms was a secret unit identification card issued by the Special Operations Department.

With this secret department's certification, no one in the General Bureau's Security Division has the right to interrogate, arrest, or interfere with any actions of the secret department's members.

Meanwhile, members of the secret service can directly request the General Bureau's Security Division to assist in investigating any matter, and then submit a report to the special operations team to which the secret service belongs.

However, this person in charge had a psychological trauma after experiencing a special event more than 20 years ago. He would always take a step back in everything. Although he was quick-witted, his personality became timid and fearful. He treated everyone with great respect and politeness.

Over the past twenty years, everyone in the secret service has been promoted and given higher positions within the system, and now they all hold high-ranking positions.

Only he managed to become the head of a crematorium. Although it was a public institution directly under the State Administration of Radio and Television, it was a completely marginal unit.

During this period, leaders of the General Administration and even the Special Operations Department contacted him, hoping that he could pursue further studies and directly transfer to the military system or become a cadre of the General Administration.

But Xu Cheng refused them all. He was afraid of taking responsibility and understood that with great power came great responsibility. He didn't want to go through that again; he just wanted to live a peaceful and uneventful life, free from any trouble.

"Well."

This identity is not bad. It grants a certain level of status, but it's rather marginal.

The ancient sorcerer sensed that this person's personality was just a bit timid and fearful, but there were no major flaws.

He was a sorcerer, but his personality was not like Hongluan's, who was obsessed with the most straightforward killing and reaping the ultimate fear and rage of a person.

That's too lowbrow.

His definition of the emotion "surprise" is grand.

Only events that trigger a generation or even a global phenomenon will trigger his emotional "addiction."

Just like this time, he wanted to spread the deadly poison of Dao Lao Gui in the mortal world.

He was determined to change this boring world, so that everyone would have the chance to discover a ghost by chance under their bed or behind their door.

Even if he might not be able to bear the consequences behind it.

The ancient sorcerer touched the somewhat aged, but still rather plump, face.

Behind this human skin is the life artifact he obtained in the ascended world: [The Face of the Five Gods].

This is a human face with skin as thin as a cicada's wing.

The effect is that it can absorb human skin and transform into other people. During this period, the karma created by oneself will be borne by the person one becomes, and will not affect oneself.

Of course, if the cause and effect is too great and exceeds the limits of what the human skin can bear, one will still have to bear it.

There is only one price to pay.

If you want others to bear the consequences of your actions, then you must first bear the consequences of others' actions.

Once you put on human skin, you must bear the karma of that person—that is, inherit that person's personality and quirks, as well as their karma in the short term.

Of course, in case of danger or special circumstances, tearing off the face skin will remove the effect. However, this will render the face skin ineffective, and the forced termination will also put the life-giving tool into a cooldown period for a short time.

Therefore, this is an extremely valuable life tool with minimal cost. It was precisely because of this life tool that I was able to orchestrate a massive upheaval in the ascended world, reaping rich rewards and obtaining the special rank of [Ancient Sorcerer].

I consulted the Grand Elder myself, and this special status often brings a powerful, revolutionary growth skill to one's profession.

For example, one can deceive elements.

As he pondered this, the ancient sorcerer pedaled the wheels at breakneck speed.

Killing that Luan Ke wouldn't leave any karmic consequences, but directly taking action would still leave loose ends. It would be better to use someone else's identity to kill him cleanly.

Even if the mastermind came, the investigation would only trace back to the owner of the human skin before stopping. Even if they sensed something was wrong, they wouldn't be able to find a single clue.

Whoosh!
Cycling along the forest path, a cool breeze brushes past me, bringing a natural comfort. Even though this is a burial ground, the tranquil and beautiful environment is undeniable, a perfect place for eternal rest.

Soon, the iron fence appeared in front of them.

Ji Ran and Sha Jiu were standing in front, watching silently.

Hearing the noise, the two turned around. Seeing that it was the middle-aged person in charge, Ji Ran smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, please open this side, I need to check the body."

"Ok."

The ancient sorcerer chuckled as he looked at Ji Ran, then immediately stepped forward and opened the already extinguished incineration well. *Click!*

The slightly reddish metal cap retracted and opened, revealing a patch of charcoal ash inside.

Ji Ran examined the area closely; the ground beneath the cremation well was covered in ashes. All the corpses had been completely burned.

The ancient sorcerer smiled as he looked at Ji Ran, slowly raising his right hand and aiming it at the back of Ji Ran's head. His left leg bent, preparing to kick the demonic beast in as well.

"Dad, Dad—the phone's ringing—"

A sweet, clear girl's voice came from the ancient sorcerer's pocket. It was a cell phone ringing.

Ji Ran and the black dog immediately turned around.

The ancient sorcerer instinctively reached into his pocket with his right hand, and casually placed his left foot on his right heel.

"I'll take a call first."

"Ok."

Ji Ran didn't sense anything was wrong. He smiled and nodded, and together with the black dog, he craned his neck again to examine the incineration well.

The ancient sorcerer opened his phone, which displayed a profile picture of a pretty woman with the contact name "Wife".

"Hey?"

The sorcerer answered the phone, and a cold female voice came from the other end: "Xu Cheng! Yunyun is fighting with that little boy again, you'd better come over right now!"

"Could you please stop bowing and scraping while apologizing this time?!"

The woman's voice was filled with anger as she said, "What kind of father are you! You're spineless, so why don't you teach your child?"

"This time the child's arm was cut, where do you want it to be next time?!"

"……it is good."

The ancient sorcerer nodded, gave Ji Ran an apologetic smile, and said, "I'll go to the kindergarten first."

"Contact me if you have any questions."

"it is good."

Ji Ran also stood up at this moment and exchanged a glance with Sha Jiu. Sha Jiu nodded subtly, indicating that he had not found anything wrong with the ashes either.

Ji Ran then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "There shouldn't be any problems here either. I'll go back first."

"Ok."

The ancient sorcerer immediately turned around, hopped on his bicycle, and set off. He pedaled incredibly fast, the shadows of the trees rushing past him.

Toot——

A passing military pickup truck rolled down its window, and Ji Ran waved at him, saying, "Let's go."

"it is good!"

The ancient sorcerer chuckled and replied, "Take care on the road!"

Squeak!

He pedaled for a while longer, then suddenly slammed on the brakes! The bicycle tires scraped a mark on the road, and the ancient sorcerer's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

What are you doing?
Picking up the child?
How could someone like himself, a mid-level cadre of a cult and a Blood Apostle of the Hidden Gods, be expected to pick up a child from an ordinary person?
Why does a strange tension and emotional reaction arise as soon as I hear about this guy's daughter, affecting my thinking?
What I just overheard was this man's secret! His daughter was some kind of obsession deep in his heart.

Get out of here!
The ancient sorcerer took a deep breath and immediately chased after Ji Ran's pickup truck!
He was there to kill, not to be a stay-at-home dad.

whoosh-

On the coastal highway, the bicycles resembled bronze lightning bolts, closely trailing behind pickup trucks traveling at at least 120 km/h.

The bicycle looks like it's flying at low altitude!

Countless currents of wind propelled it forward at breakneck speed! It was as if the ancient sorcerer had tricked the winds, making them believe that they were meant to flow in this direction.

Pikachu passed by a kindergarten that looked very luxurious and classic.

Bicycles followed closely behind.

Then--

Squeak, squeak!
The ancient sorcerer pedaled the bicycle backwards to the kindergarten gate and stopped.
