The Law of Heaven

Chapter 96 Aihara's Massacre Feast
At 8:15 a.m., Aihara arrived at the office building of the Kiriyama branch. The howling sea wind was like the roar of a giant beast, and dark clouds rolled in on the horizon, with fog churning.

It was a bit cold, and he rarely appeared in a suit today, as if he were attending a funeral.

Under the gloom, the misty mountains were hidden in the fog, with only rows of black dragon horns standing like tombstones, like a silent cemetery, exuding a chilling aura.

A faint, thunderous roar could be heard.

The long street was bustling with traffic, buses stopped at the platform, pedestrians got off at the arrival announcement, opened their umbrellas and went in all directions, and the zebra crossing was crowded with people.

Last night's live broadcast did not have any impact on ordinary people; Ruan Yun's remarks were simply taken as scripted.

However, Aihara spotted disguised hunters among the passersby on the street. They were assigned to patrol various areas and check suspicious people passing by.

"It's too scattered."

Aihara frowned, turned and entered the office building, where he was greeted by a waiter and entered the lobby.

For a fleeting moment, the waiter's expression subtly changed, his pupils reflecting the face of a sickly man, like a demon.

Aihara calmly handed him a gift box, which undoubtedly contained purified serum.

The waiter took the gift box with satisfaction and turned to leave.

Aihara pressed the elevator button and went straight to the nineteenth floor.

On his way to the branch, Jiang Wanwu called him. She was currently moving equipment in the laboratory on the nineteenth floor and asked him to come over and sit down first.

The elevator doors opened, and the researchers from the Technology Development Bureau were busy at work. Some people did notice his arrival, but no one mocked him as before. Instead, their expressions showed more heartfelt admiration, clearly indicating that his previous performance had had an effect.

"Ohara."

Jiang Wanwu was drinking a latte at the office door when she waved to him: "Come this way."

The wealthy woman was also wearing a suit skirt today, paired with nude stockings and black high heels with red soles, which accentuated her curvaceous figure and gave her a very sophisticated and mature look.

"Is your injury healed?"

Aihara glanced at her a few more times.

"Okay."

Jiang Wanwu noticed his gaze: "Is it pretty?"

"nice."

Aihara confessed, "But I like black stockings."

"My sister has quite a few black stockings at home."

Jiang Wanwu sized him up, a hint of teasing in her eyes: "This is the first time I've seen you in a suit, you look quite handsome. If we have the chance, I'll take you to the mall to buy a few more."

"Okay."

Aihara asked casually, "Is there anything going on today?"

Jiang Wanwu blinked, her expression slightly strange: "My mother woke up and said she wanted to thank you in person. After this is all over, would you like to bring your sister over for a meal?"

Actually, she hesitated a little when she said that, unsure of the other person's reaction.

Because Aihara may not seem difficult to get along with on the surface, but he has a very strong sense of boundaries deep down.

Some people's aloofness stems from their preference for being alone.

Some people's isolation stems from a deep-seated sense of distance between themselves and the world; Aihara is a typical example of the latter.

People who haven't experienced much family warmth usually don't get along well with their elders and feel uncomfortable in other people's homes.

Aihara readily agreed: "Sure, did Auntie come today? I'll go see her."

Jiang Wanwu was taken aback, then squinted her eyes with a smug look: "My mom is still in the hospital, but my dad is here."

Her voice was low, as if she were speaking of a demon rather than her father.

"Should I go and say hello?"

Aihara happened to have some important information to share.

"Of course you can if you're not afraid."

Jiang Wanwu didn't know what the two men had talked about before, and muttered, "If my dad makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, your sister will comfort you when we get back."

"no problem."

Aihara gave her a wink.

dong dong.

He knocked on the door of the office at the end of the corridor.

"Enter."

Jiang Hai's voice came from behind the door.

As always, cold and hard.

Aihara pushed open the door and saw the man busy at his desk. She said resentfully, "Director Jiang, you're not being fair. You put me in the combat ranks but didn't tell me about the details. Doesn't that mean I'll offend people if I go in?"

Jiang Hai was still adjusting the parameters of the data modeling when he heard this and paused for a moment: "I forgot, but with your abilities, there's no need to care about such trivial matters. As long as you are strong enough, you can shatter other people's prejudices."

Aihara suddenly leaned closer and stared at him.

Jiang Hai frowned, puzzled.

"Director."

Aihara lowered his voice: "You have a very bad omen."

"what?"

Jiang Hai was stunned, and said with a straight face, "I just forgot to tell you to report, you don't have to curse me like this."

For some reason, he felt his persona crumbled every time he faced Aihara.

"I am not kidding."

Aihara said in a low voice, "You need to be careful. Last time, the mole tried to kill you, but failed. This time, it's his last chance. The Security Coordination Bureau's team is very likely to be paralyzed, and hostile forces will most likely infiltrate the rear. I suggest you find some reliable people to keep a close watch on the sewers in this area. As for Wanwu-nee, I will protect her. Don't worry about anything that happens."

You must always ensure that you are in a safe position. Even if there is a problem with the miniature reactor, I will take your daughter to maintain it. You must not move.

That's all I have to say. Please take good care of yourself.

After saying that, he turned and left without lingering in the office to avoid being spotted by the mole.

Jiang Hai's eyes suddenly sharpened.

He stared intently at the boy's retreating figure.

His gaze seemed to want to dissect him.

After only a second of silence, Jiang Hai did not ask him about the source of this information, but said calmly, "I have sent the textbook for learning super brain computing to your email."

Aihara paused slightly: "Okay."

Jiang Hai exhaled a breath of stale air, turned around, picked up his phone, and dialed a number: "Zizhen..."

Xunshan Temple in autumn is so lonely and desolate. The maple trees covering the mountains are fiery red, and golden light appears in the distant sky. The maple leaves fall like a rainstorm in the wind.

The bells rang melodiously, as if the music had ended and the audience had dispersed.

The Mist Mountain District branch began its operation, with hunter squads from the Anomaly Management Bureau patrolling various blocks, forces from the Security Coordination Bureau sealing off entrances near the temple, and a convoy from the Technology Development Bureau carrying miniature reactors up the mountain.

In a temple hall at the temple entrance, Directors Zhou Yin and Yan Chengwu personally attended a temporary strategic meeting of the 10th Combat Order responsible for the defense.

As captains of the tenth combat sequence, Yunxiu and Shangyan felt that the company had entrusted them with an important task.

They worked through the night to devise a strategic plan, aiming to make a strong impression on the higher-ups.

During the meeting, they delivered speeches as they had in their student days, not only explaining the strategic plan in detail but also trying to inspire and motivate their teammates and boost morale.

Just three minutes into the meeting, they noticed a rather incongruous figure below, looking down at his phone.

Logically speaking, Xiang Yuan shouldn't be so unreliable, but since he started practicing the Tenfold Delusion, he also feels that he is gradually becoming a mental patient.

Everything was perfectly normal, but he felt a sense of euphoria. Ignoring the shocked looks of others, he took out his phone in front of his superiors and higher-ups.

It was as if they were immersed in their own world.

They knew nothing of heaven and earth.

The main reason was that his second uncle's incident yesterday had triggered him.

My second uncle, despite his advanced age, managed to become a master of genetics through self-study, but he backed down when faced with super brain computing.

That's outrageous.

After much painful reflection, Aihara decided to seize the time to study and opened the email that Director Jiang had sent him.

I began studying the advanced mathematics textbook.

Unexpectedly, after reading for only three minutes, a familiar drowsiness washed over him, and he immediately fell asleep.

The teammates in the battle formation were dumbfounded, and Yan Yan in the corner even showed a hint of surprise, unable to understand why such a person could be targeted by that master.

"Mud can't hold up a wall!"

Yan Chengwu snorted coldly behind his back.

"Calm down, calm down."

Zhou Yin quickly smoothed things over, saying, "It's perfectly normal for young people these days to have a bit of personality."

"This person is a friend of your student, that's why you said that, right? Old Zhou, don't think I don't know."

"Oh, it's no big deal."

The combat units were also buzzing with discussion.

"Who is this person?"

"Oh, Xiang Chaonan's nephew. He performed well in the attack on the science museum a few days ago and was promoted to the combat ranks. I watched him fight, and he was quite strong."

"I'm not questioning his ability; after all, nobody's stupid. If a weakling enters the combat ranks, isn't that just courting death? I'm questioning his professionalism, brother."

"You can't talk to a lunatic about professional matters."

"Neuropathy?"

“My intuition tells me that this person is a typical psychopath, and quite seriously so.”

"Oh, no wonder..."

Yunxiu's full breasts rose and fell slightly, almost bursting out of her suit; her anger had reached its peak.

"Calm down, the higher-ups are still here."

Shang Yan lowered his voice: "Don't bother arguing with a lunatic."

Yunxiu suppressed her anger and continued to explain the strategy, then assigned tasks to everyone and adjourned the meeting.

Directors Zhou Yin and Yan Chengwu nodded slightly, satisfied with the strategic arrangements, and turned to leave. They still needed to confirm the security arrangements for the former chairman.

Each member of the combat unit performed their assigned duties, working in pairs according to plan, carrying their equipment boxes to their respective posts.

Before leaving, Yan Yan and her partner glanced at the sleeping boy in the corner, a mocking smile playing on their lips.

Aihara finally snapped out of it, still groggy from cultivating the tenth level of delusion, and said blankly, "Holy crap, who am I? Where am I? How did the meeting end? Why did everyone leave? What was my job?"

Shang Yan sighed behind him and said helplessly, "Dude, with that attitude, who would dare to entrust you with a mission? Otherwise, you can stay here and be a free agent. Go wherever there's trouble."

Yunxiu snorted coldly.

Aihara turned around and saw the two captains, and said awkwardly, "Oh, sorry, I fell asleep."

Shang Yan was about to say something when he was interrupted.

Yunxiu said coldly, "Brother Ruanyang recommended you to me before, telling me to definitely give you an important position, but your attitude is truly infuriating. First of all, you haven't been trained, and secondly, your personality is too undisciplined. We are a disciplined team, but your arrival has made our group look like a makeshift ragtag bunch. Is that acceptable?"

Aihara hesitated for a moment: "But I heard that the 10th combat order is full of people with connections, isn't it?"

Shang Yan's eye twitched slightly: "Uh..."

Yunxiu was very angry, but she couldn't refute it, so she could only say with a stern face, "Just this once, I will explain our strategic plan to you again. First of all..."

Aihara suddenly waved his hand.

"Your plan is good in every way, except for one thing: it's incredibly weak. I think you shouldn't even bother with external investigations at this point; it's pointless. Xunshan Temple is so big, and your defense forces are so scattered. If something goes wrong inside, it'll be disastrous."

He said earnestly, "If you ask me, the best thing to do is to concentrate all our strength and stick together. That's the only way. What do you think?"

Shang Yan vigorously wiped his face: "Listen, our arrangement is very scientific. Once there is an invasion by foreign enemies, our various outposts can quickly form support..."

"okay!"

Yunxiu, losing her temper, was too lazy to waste any more words: "He doesn't understand anything but still tries to point fingers here. Let him just stay here all by himself then, what a lunatic!"

The two captains left in a huff.

Aihara shrugged: "I've already warned you, so don't blame me if something goes wrong."

The operational plan of the tenth combat order was formulated to defend against foreign enemies, and it was indeed very scientific.

But it just didn't work.

Aihara simply became a free man, wandering around the temple in autumn, his Alaya consciousness spreading to its maximum, sweeping away the manhole covers in all directions.

A gentle breeze caressed my face, and the fiery red maple leaves swayed in the wind. Everywhere on the mountain were rows of soldiers in suits, standing in the shadows with umbrellas, like statues.

The miniature reactor on the mountaintop has been erected, and a surge of energy can be felt from a great distance. Jiang Hai is leading a group of researchers in debugging the equipment.

Jiang Wanwu directed her subordinates to carry equipment up the mountain. Fallen leaves scattered on her wine-red long hair, like a hair clip, giving her a dreamy and beautiful look.

Halfway up the mountain, there was an ancient temple. Wisps of smoke rose from the temple. Chairman Ruan was washing his hands and burning incense in the temple, preparing for a ceremony to treat his injuries.

"The old chairman is truly exhausted."

Zhou Yin sighed, "Just one night has passed, and she has gained a lot more wrinkles. I heard that those who have reached the Transcendent Rank can live for more than three hundred years, but she is only one hundred and forty years old and has already become like this."

Yan Chengwu remained expressionless and said in a deep voice, "Once the heart grows old, the person grows old too."

His gaze deepened, as if the fate of the five great families was like a leaf falling in the wind.

It could wither away at any time.

Before the long stone steps, some elders from the five major families were also present, especially the heads of the Fu and Jing families.

Their hair and beards were all white; they were nearing the end of their lives.

But they all stayed here and didn't move an inch.

"Ready to start..."

Zhou Yin was speaking when he suddenly showed a pained expression, and couldn't help but kneel down and spit out a mouthful of black blood.

"Lao Zhou?"

Yan Chengwu was startled, and then he also felt a piercing pain and vomited black blood.

Curse Killing Technique!
The elders all showed expressions of shock. They also felt the pain, and a trickle of black blood flowed from their lips, but fortunately, their symptoms were relatively mild.

This is a curse killing technique!
Originating from an extremely vicious technique from the ancient southern border region, it is notorious for its extreme cruelty and ruthlessness!
Their biometric information was leaked.

Someone has cast a curse on them from afar!

The wind suddenly picked up.

Fallen leaves rolled and rustled across the ground.

An invisible killing intent shrouded the temple!

"Watch out for enemy attack!"

Shang Yan suddenly let out a roar.

His tablet showed that the teams of the Anomaly Management Bureau and the Security Coordination Bureau were all severely damaged in an instant, which clearly indicated an internal problem.

"Heaven!"

Yunxiu's eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp.

A huge airship appeared on the horizon, clearly carrying a fully armed force.

"Men, take him down!"

Yunxiu roared loudly.

At that very moment, the manhole cover in the sewer exploded without warning, and a huge shockwave blew out, sending both captains flying.

The combat units that witnessed this scene were shocked. The company had already sent people to check the sewers and even installed monitoring equipment. How could such a thing happen?

The explosion sounded again.

Manhole covers in the sewers exploded one after another, and fully armed thugs emerged from the flames and smoke, indiscriminately firing at any available personnel.

Just as Yan Yan's teammates were about to rush forward to help defend, his heart was pierced by a scalding hot hand.

There was a click.

"you……"

The combatant stared wide-eyed, coughing up blood.

Yan Yan withdrew his hand with a cold smile, observing the explosions from all directions on the mountain path. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Something's not right. Why are so many missing?"

She picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered, "Act quickly, go and kill Yunxiu and Shangyan first."

Li Yun's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Roger that!"

Yunxiu had just staggered to her feet when she suddenly sensed danger. A dense chill condensed in her palm, instantly creating a thick ice crystal shield.

boom!
The ice shield shattered.

Yan Feng lowered his finger; he had just fired a high-pressure water cannonball with extremely strong impact.

Yan He rushed out instantly, his eyes turning eerily pale, and his spiritual power roared out like a demon.

Yunxiu keenly sensed the danger, spread out her hands which were filled with a massive amount of ice crystals, and whispered, "Shang Yan!"

Shang Yan got up, looking disheveled, and pressed his hand to his forehead. With a buzzing sound, his mental energy spread out.

Illusion isolation.

At that very moment, Li Yun suddenly leaped down from the treetop, and a torrent of water vapor condensed in his palm.

"Die!"

For a fleeting moment, Yunxiu and Shangyan looked up together, a hint of shock in their eyes.

The timing was perfect.

Their opponents know them very well.

Unfortunately, it happened to be right in the gap between their ability activations.

The enemy really is a mole; they came prepared!

A boy suddenly flashed through their minds.

That lazy guy was right!
The world seemed to fall silent at that moment. The clouds that had descended from the sky were suspended in mid-air, and the water vapor gathered in the palm of the hand did not explode. It was as if it had been forcibly frozen in time, with only ripples spreading in the void.

The maple leaves scattered across the sky were broken in the wind.

The critical situation was averted.

"Hey, long time no see."

Aihara hovered in the sky, removing his sunglasses. His eyes gleamed with a stern gold, and his suit and tie fluttered in the wind like a battle flag.

This scene was witnessed by Yunxiu and Shangyan.

Of course, this also caught Li Yun's attention as he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"You are……"

He was a little shocked.

He recognized the other person.

But I'm also a little hesitant to believe it.

No matter how hard Li Yun struggled, he couldn't escape that invisible confinement, as if he were stuck in a gap in time and space, which gave rise to a feeling of terror.

This kid's strength...

Something is wrong!
"My dear Instructor Li."

Aihara suddenly raised his hand and tightened his grip: "Please check my learning results."

There was a click.

As Aihara's five fingers tightened continuously.

Li Yun, unable to move in mid-air, let out a miserable scream. His bones groaned under the immense pressure, shattering and breaking apart inch by inch.

His face flushed red, and his veins bulged.

Like an angry bull.

There was a dull thud.

Aihara tightened his grip completely.

The suddenly contracting field of thought instantly flattened Li Yun.
