Hunting God Era

Chapter 82 Controlling Black and White, Isolating Inside and Outside

Li Ye is indeed in trouble.

Busy killing people.

In a residential building in Xicheng District, a middle-aged man with a large hole ripped out of his abdomen collapsed to the ground, spitting blood and pointing at Li Ye standing in front of him.

"I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

boom!
Li Ye swiftly and cleanly shot him, blowing his head off.

He stared at the corpse for a moment, then shook his head: "Where's the ghost? Where is it? Come out and let me see it?"

As the most typical demons, they are recorded in works such as Zuo Zhuan, Li Ji, Chu Ci, and Huainanzi.

People who die become ghosts, often born of resentment and unwillingness to accept their fate.

However, no one can say for sure how it came to be.

It's possible to be killed by demons, it's possible to be killed by martial artists, it's possible for ordinary people to harm each other, and it's not unheard of for someone to be hit and killed by a truck.

Earthbound spirits, wandering souls, and vengeful ghosts are all types of demons.

It can only be said that there seems to be an invisible scale between heaven and earth, measuring everything.

Chinese history books have concluded that this was a rebellion by ordinary people.

But the only thing that can be certain is that martial artists cannot become ghosts.

And the entire family of the person he killed doesn't seem to be doing well now.

"I'll leave the cleanup to you."

Li Ye said something to the two trembling data clerks who followed him, and then walked out.

The two data clerks nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Captain Li, we'll handle it perfectly."

With a shortage of manpower, Li Ye simply borrowed people from the data department. Previously, Huang Qingyi had been working with him and also kept records, but after all, Huang was a disinfection worker and still had his own tasks.

Anyway, as long as someone can record and finish the work, a data clerk is fine, especially since Li Ye has already scared off the gangs in Ningjiang City.

What we're dealing with now are these people who openly jump out, wanting to side with the Ren family to the end, and clamoring against the disinfection bureau.

The one we're looking for now is the typical example, and also the last one.

Li Ye rode his motorcycle back to the disinfection bureau, opened his captain's office, and before he could even rest for two minutes, the door was pushed open and Sun Shun came in with a food box, smiling broadly.

"I got you some food."

Sun Shun opened the food box and placed the dishes inside on the table one by one. Finally, he placed a bowl of rice in front of Li Ye.

He laughed and said, "Our Deputy Captain Huang was invited to a banquet today at the same restaurant as you."

Li Ye laughed too: "He was sent to deliver a message and even got to eat."

"There's nothing we can do. Your reputation for brutality has spread throughout the city recently. Team Leader Huang is carrying out your orders, so of course people are afraid. Not to mention them, even the people in our data department are scared of you now."

Sun Shun exclaimed, "I wanted you to show your prowess, but I didn't expect you to be so impressive. You truly live up to your reputation as a young man."

Humans are social beings, and they always have things to consider before and after. Only machines can complete tasks without any obstacles, but machines cannot instill fear in people and thus make them obedient.

Li Ye did just right. He was strong in combat and performed as expected, but he didn't kill indiscriminately. So far, the effect seems to be the best.

These past few days have been the most comforting time for Sun Shun.

That's how we had the same imposing presence that used to make people tremble with fear when the disinfection bureau arrived!

Li Ye didn't say anything upon hearing this, but just shook his head and smiled, took out the jade box, took out the five-flavor chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and began to eat. His cruelty towards certain people was selective; like the case he just dealt with, that family was all bad influence. They had a few people working for them in the loan sharking business, and the whole family was involved, driving many people to their deaths.

This kind of person belongs to the fringe of the martial arts circle in Ningjiang City. Although they know of the existence of the Ren family, they have never even gotten close to them. They are someone that the Extermination Bureau could handle even without Li Ye.

He arrogantly saw an opportunity and loudly proclaimed that the Pest Control Bureau was nothing special, demanding that they side with the Ren family and that if they had the guts, they should come and kill the entire Ren family, claiming that they weren't afraid of anything in this modern society.
What else is there to say? After Li Ye investigated thoroughly, he went to his home and sent his entire family to their deaths.

But sometimes he didn't want to be cruel; he just had no choice. Others were also skilled in martial arts, and even if he wanted to kill them instantly and make their deaths look better, he couldn't.

For example, Ye Ming, the leader of the Longshan Gang, had handled some decent affairs and was quite righteous. Li Ye didn't dislike him and originally intended to just beat him into submission.

The problem was that the other party was too morally upright, insisting that the Ren family had done him a great favor and that the Elimination Bureau would not last long. They continued fighting relentlessly, and Li Ye got so angry that he couldn't stop when he finally opened the floodgates, so he twisted the people into a pretzel shape.

His martial arts skills were not weak either. Although the moves he learned were not aimed at vital points, they were definitely wide-ranging and powerful, so it was normal for them to look a bit brutal.

Including that Jiang E Sect Master, he deserves to be torn apart, but Li Ye didn't intentionally tear his limbs apart. He wanted to finish the fight quickly and kill him with a single blow to the heart.

They were all martial artists who had broken through the Vajra Pass, and the other party's mastery of the Vajra Pass was even stronger than Li Ye's, showing that he had been immersed in this path for many years.

Li Ye got carried away with the fight and only wanted to end it quickly, so he unleashed the floodgates, tore off his limbs, and ripped off his head. Then, subconsciously, he added a final blow with the Golden Dragon Claw.

They were only thinking about killing him quickly; there wasn't a single deliberate act of cruelty.

He had certainly heard of the great reputation he had gained, but Li Ye saw that the effect was indeed quite good. It was better to inspire fear than disrespect, so he accepted it with a smile.

"The next step is to force them to back down."

While eating, Li Ye said, "Use the underground forces to pressure the Ren family's businesses. First, take care of the ones in the city, completely sever the Ren family's ties with the underworld, and then officially begin the period of surveillance. During this time, I will not allow anyone to die or go missing. Even if someone dies accidentally or from old age, the cause must be thoroughly investigated!"

He looked at Sun Shun and said, "Uncle Sun, if you really can't manage, you should take a vacation. The pest control bureau isn't very safe, so don't worry about it shutting down. Those rats can take over the order for now."

Sun Shun laughed heartily: "I wasn't afraid of the floods back then, why would I be afraid of a few scoundrels? Just do it boldly and don't worry about anything else!"

Li Ye's method was simple: cut off contact and force out the imposter.

No matter how clever or wise a demon is, it is still a demon. It has human intelligence but no humanity. To it, harming and polluting people is as natural and inevitable as humans needing to eat and drink.

Li Yewei intimidated the martial arts community in Ningjiang City, preventing any unexpected incidents. Furthermore, with Director Pan currently overseeing the Ren family and unable to contact or guide the other party, the Painted Skin would definitely come out to 'hunt for food'.

The disinfection bureau had considered this method before, but the city of Ningjiang was uncooperative and lacked the force to implement it. Pan Zhengyang didn't want to break ties with the Ren family at the time, so he could only investigate slowly.

Sometimes, it's not a matter of insufficient wisdom or flawed rules, but simply a problem with the person executing the order.

As long as Li Ye forces out the painted skin, everything will be fine.

We've taken control of the martial arts community in Ningjiang City and are keeping a close watch on them. We've found a few scoundrels and killed them to let them know the danger. Given their intelligence, they'll surely hide again.

However, if they are controlled severely enough and unable to forage, they will eventually be unable to suppress their demonic nature and will act according to their habits.

The nature of the painted skin creatures is to go from near to far. They will go to the people who are most tainted by their scent and have the closest relationship with them, thereby corrupting them into human skin slaves, making them for food and pollution, while they themselves will hide away.

Especially when encountering danger.

The painted skin in Ningjiang City has been around for ten years. After such a long time, anyone closely related to it must be long gone. If we look for the closest relative, there is only one person left!
Ren family!

If they raise demons and absorb their essence through the painted skin, then the painted skin's aura will definitely remain, and the painted skin will go to the Ren family.

If not
If you don't have it, you don't have it.

Li Ye's pretext from beginning to end was to investigate the painted skin and cults, but he didn't deliberately target anyone.

Besides, does the Ren family even admit to having any ties with gangs?
At worst, I can just apologize. It's no big deal.

But if
click!
Li Ye bit off a piece of leg bone, chewed it up along with the bone, and swallowed it.

Then he'll be able to eat his fill!
