This actor is full of tricks.

There was no headless corpse in the black coffin beneath the shrine. It was unclear whether the cultists hadn't found a suitable one or whether the "benevolent father" had already taken it.

"He Ping isn't here either. Where did he go?"

Lin Jue had seen He Ping briefly in Quming last time, and assumed he was among the cultists, but it turned out he had disappeared and couldn't be reached by phone.

"He hasn't returned a single call or sent a single text message in so long. What could have happened to him?"

Lin Jue pondered whether to use the power of the Investigation Division to find He Ping. After all, he had promised He Wen to clear up the misunderstanding between her and her father. Although the little girl seemed indifferent on the surface, Lin Jue knew that He Wen definitely wanted to see her father.

Stepping out of the blood-soaked room, the tollbooth worker was still watching TV, completely unaware that a massacre had just taken place there.

Back in Quming, Lin Jue noticed that the ashes covering the entire county were much smaller. If they were the size of goose feathers before, the ashes falling from the sky now resembled a drizzle, and could not be detected at all in the dark unless one looked closely. This made him wonder if the benevolent father had sensed something was wrong and had already fled.

However, upon closer reflection, it seems unlikely. That guy hates him to the core right now. Since he knows he's here, he can't possibly run away. Besides, the strength Lin Jue displayed earlier wasn't enough to force back an extremely vicious criminal.

"Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen that guy." Thinking of the extremely vicious and ruthless man, Lin Jue recalled the heart from before. Ever since the other party ran away after seeing him last time, there had been no further movement, as if he had died somewhere.

"Um?"

Lin Jue, who was walking back, suddenly stopped and hid behind a telephone pole.

Not far ahead, a figure in white robes was staggering into the darkness. His steps were unsteady, as if he were drunk and unable to control his body.

"There's still one survivor?" Lin Jue was about to go out and take care of the guy when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Because the black aura emanating from that guy was so dense that it had blended into the night, making the darkness even more profound. This surpassed the resentment of the cardinal, and even He Wen was somewhat inferior in comparison.

How could an ordinary white robe possibly harbor such resentment?

This white robe is very strange, extremely strange.

Lin Jue quickly stopped and cautiously followed behind the man in the white robe.

The white-robed figure walked on and on, glancing around as if searching for something: "Strange... why do I feel like I can smell that guy's scent again?"

"Tsk, to think that I, a dignified and extremely vicious villain, was scared like that by a human kid. But that kid is indeed strange; the thing hidden inside his body is too powerful."

"Just wait, once I'm back to my peak, I'll definitely take care of that kid first and get my revenge!"

"It just so happens that Jinmie is seriously injured and hiding here. His aura is becoming clearer and clearer; he should be showing himself soon. We should try to ambush him and drink some of his ferocious blood to restore our strength."

The figure in white robes muttered something very softly, but Lin Jue could just hear it.

What a coincidence! ?

I was just thinking about that guy, and then he showed up?

And how did it turn out like this? Did its heart take over the body of the white-robed ghost?
Lin Jue crouched low, cautiously approaching the other person. The white-robed man in front of him stopped, looking around. "Something's wrong, absolutely wrong. That guy's scent is getting stronger and stronger. He's nearby!" He then abruptly turned his head and immediately saw Lin Jue hiding behind a tricycle. He looked as if he'd seen a ghost. "He really is here!?"

"You brat, are you some kind of persistent ghost?! What are you doing following me again?! You want me to fight you?!"

He was going crazy. He was just about to show off his skills at the amusement park when he saw this human who was like a ghost that wouldn't leave him alone. He had to hide for a long time. Now that he had finally managed to sneak out to get some ferocious blood to improve his strength, he ran into this human again.

No, am I under a spell?

Although he shouted fiercely, his body betrayed him; he turned and tried to run away.

"He Wen!"

"Akin!"

"spider!"

"The old director!"

Lin Jue directly summoned four names. If Bi Zheng hadn't been still breaking through, he would have shown that heart what it meant to be numerous and powerful.

In an instant, a chilling aura filled the air, and the entire street seemed to have fallen into hell. Before the heart could escape, the four ghostly realms enveloped him together.

"Damn it! Where did all these A-ranks come from!" Heart's steps froze, his face filled with disbelief. Although he was an extremely vicious ferocious beast in his prime, things were different now. His current strength was only slightly stronger than an A-rank. So many A-ranks attacking at the same time would be enough to kill him a thousand times over.

"Hey there." Lin Jue slapped Xinxin on the shoulder. "Long time no see. You're getting more and more complete now. Where did you get this body?"

Even though he and Heart were once bloodthirsty enemies, Lin Jue's tone was now as familiar as that of two long-lost friends.

Xin's lips twitched. He couldn't escape now, he couldn't beat him in a fight, and he didn't dare to curse him. He could only stare blankly at Lin Jue.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a bad person." Lin Jue waved his hand, signaling He Wen and the others to remove the ghostly aura: "When you left last time, I said that maybe we could cooperate. Look, it's such a coincidence that the opportunity to cooperate has come up here."

"How do you want to cooperate?" Heart asked, his eyes darting left and right, clearly still harboring ulterior motives and looking for an opportunity to escape.

Lin Jue grabbed the other man's shoulder and laughed, "I just heard you want to get some of Jinmie's ferocious blood to restore your strength. I also want to take action against Jinmie. Why don't we work together and kill that guy directly?"

"Don't rush to refuse. Think about your current strength. A few A-ranks can easily overwhelm you. Although Jinmie's strength is not at its peak either, you should not be his match. Look at my strength configuration: three A-ranks, one B-rank, and another guy on the verge of breaking through his strength. There will probably be another A-rank tomorrow."

"So cooperating with me is entirely beneficial. When the time comes, after killing Jinmie, I'll give you as much ferocious blood as you want."

His heart remained silent, his eyes constantly sweeping over He Wen and the other ghosts. What the living person in front of him said did make a lot of sense and was very tempting, but there was definitely a trap in it. He could get benefits without putting in any effort. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"What do you want?" The heart knew that the living person in front of it must have conditions.

"It's so much easier talking to a clever strategist." Lin Jue pulled out a contract: "Sign it." (End of Chapter)
