[Plague Messenger]

"Corruption Plague": Inflicts "Corruption Plague" on the target for 20 seconds. Deals poison damage equal to 20% of magic attack power per second and inflicts the "Weakened" status, reducing the target's maximum health by 10%. Furthermore, every 5 seconds, "Corruption Plague" will randomly spread to an enemy within 15 meters. For infected targets, the Plague's duration is halved, and its damage is increased by 10%.

"Poisonous Nova": Detonates highly toxic energy around itself, dealing 150% magic attack damage as poison damage to all enemies within a 20-meter radius, and inflicting 1 stack of "Corrosion", reducing the target's physical and magical defense by 20%.

"Plague Barrier": Creates a plague shield that absorbs damage equal to 200% of the caster's maximum health. When the shield breaks, it deals poison damage equal to 100% of the absorbed damage to surrounding enemies.

Dressed appropriately and behaved elegantly.

It's a pity it can't talk, otherwise it would be perfect as a butler.

Lin Yu tried to communicate with it, but it only bowed again.

Then he stood there quietly, as silent as a statue.

When the third servant came out, Lin Huan and Lin Duo couldn't help but shudder—

It was a huge, grayish-brown spider.

Its torso is comparable to that of a small wild boar.

Eight hairy legs support its round body.

The most peculiar thing is its head—

Four pure black eyes, two large and two small, are symmetrically arranged on its forehead, like four black gemstones, crystal clear.

【Bone-Eating Poison Spider】

"Bone-Corroding Venom": Each attack from the Bone-Corroding Venom Spider inflicts 1 stack of "Spider Venom" on the target, dealing poison damage equal to 5% of magic attack power per second for 8 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. When the Spider Venom stacks to 5, the target enters the "Bone Softening" state, reducing both physical and magical defense by 40% for 10 seconds, and increasing all poison damage taken during this period by 30%.

"Entangling Spider Silk": Spits out strong spider silk, binding an enemy for 3 seconds and dealing poison damage equal to 30% of magic attack power per second. If the target dies during the binding period, the spider silk will split into 5 "spider larvae".

"Nest Summoning": Summons a "Mother Nest" in a designated area, lasting for 30 seconds. The "Mother Nest" hatches one "Spiderling" per second (inheriting 5% of the Poison Spider's attributes). When a Spiderling dies, it explodes, dealing poison damage equal to 5% of the caster's magic attack to surrounding enemies. While the nest exists, the Bone-Eating Poison Spider's attack speed is increased by 30%.

After it crawled out, it did not approach other people like the previous two did.

Instead, it lay quietly at Lin Qing's feet, its eight legs curled up and its four eyes half-closed.

He looked like he was "very depressed".

After observing its skills, Lin Yu guessed that its melancholy must be due to taking care of children.

The three "Netherworld Servants" summoned by Lin Qing didn't seem particularly imposing.

However, they all inherited 100% of Lin Qing's attributes.

In addition to their own skills, each of them is capable of fighting alongside a B-level professional.

More importantly, they are summoned creatures.

They are not afraid of death; even if they die, they can be summoned again.

Lin Yu looked at the three "cute" servants and made some plans in her mind.

If you team up the three of them to run the level 30 dungeon at school...

Most of them can be pushed through easily.

"Very good." Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Qing'er, let them roam freely in the villa and get used to the environment."

"Yes, Master," Lin Qing replied obediently.

……

……

Wujiang International Airport, International Arrivals Hall.

Jiro Kusano stood among the crowd of people waiting to greet him at the airport, wearing a sharp black suit and with his hair neatly combed.

He had a professional smile on his face and looked like an ordinary businessperson.

But only he knew that his palms were covered in cold sweat.

Standing next to him, Cai Zhiqi was in an even worse state—his face was deathly pale, and his body was trembling slightly, like a frightened bird.

"Calm down," Kusano Jiro said in a low voice. "The Colonel hates weakness the most."

"Yes, yes..." Cai Zhiqi took a deep breath and tried to straighten his back.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man came out.

He was wearing a dark gray custom-made suit, of medium build, with an ordinary face—the kind of person you'd easily lose in a crowd.

But his walking posture is very special—

Every step was measured with a ruler, the distance was precise to the millimeter.

What's most striking is his gaze.

It was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

People who are swept by him will subconsciously feel a chill down their spine.

He is Miyata Kuri.

The number one figure in the Sakura Country Special Operations Team, codenamed "Colonel".

Kusano Jiro and Cai Zhiqi immediately stood up straight, bowed ninety degrees, and respectfully said, "Lord Miyata, welcome!"

Miyata Kiri didn't stop walking; she merely nodded slightly and walked past the two of them.

Kusano Jiro and Cai Zhiqi quickly followed.

The three walked silently through the airport terminal to the parking lot.

Kusano Jiro opened the back door of a black sedan, and Miyata Kiri got in.

Kusano Jiro got into the driver's seat, while Cai Zhiqi got into the passenger seat.

The car started and drove smoothly out of the airport.

The car was quiet except for Cai Zhiqi's heavy breathing.

After about five minutes, Miyata Kiri finally spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear: "Kusano-kun, how's the 'Amaterasu' project going?"

Kusano Jiro tightened his grip on the steering wheel, trying to keep his voice steady: "Reporting to Your Excellency, everything is proceeding according to plan."

"The acquisition of four hundred magical beasts has been completed, and the corresponding 'Berserk Potion' has been prepared and its effects have been tested."

He paused, then added, "The potion contains a localizing agent. After injection, the berserk monsters will instinctively move towards human settlements, making it easier to create chaos."

Miyata Kiri nodded slightly: "What about the abyss nodes we arranged?"

"All nine nodes have been set up."

Kusano Jiro observed Miyata Kiri's expression through the rearview mirror. Seeing that the other party did not seem displeased, he continued speaking.

"The locations are scattered in nine directions around Wujiang City, and they are all abandoned factories or underground facilities that are rarely visited by people."

"The node core has been activated and can be started at any time."

"Very good." Miyata Kiri closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

Silence fell over the car again.

Cai Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had passed this hurdle.

however--

"Cai Zhiqi".

Miyata Kiri's voice rang out again.

Cai Zhiqi froze, his voice trembling, "Yes, yes!"

Miyata Kiri opened her eyes and slowly turned her head.

That face, which had been expressionless, was now filled with undisguised anger.

His eyes narrowed, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

"Snapped!"

He leaned over from the back seat, swung his right hand in a wide arc, and slapped Cai Zhiqi hard across the left cheek!

The force was so great that Cai Zhiqi's head slammed hard against the car window, making a dull thud.

But it's not over yet.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

A barrage of slaps rained down on him!

Cai Zhiqi didn't dare to dodge at all and could only endure it.

His face swelled up at a visible speed, and his mouth cracked, with blood seeping out.

Kusano Jiro's hands trembled slightly as he gripped the steering wheel.

But he dared not speak, much less stop the car.

Finally, Miyata Kiri stopped.

He sat back in the back seat, took out a clean white handkerchief, and slowly wiped his palms.

"Baka!" He stared at Cai Zhiqi, his voice icy cold. "You useless piece of trash."

Cai Zhiqi's face was swollen like a pig's head, and his eyes were squinted into slits.

He raised his hand, trembling, to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice slurred, "I...I'm sorry...Miyata-sama...I was wrong..."

"Wrong?" Miyata Kiri sneered. "Do you know where you went wrong?"

"I...I underestimated the strength of Lin Yu's team..."

"Underestimate?" Miyata Kuri's voice suddenly rose. "That's utter stupidity!"

He leaned forward, staring into Cai Zhiqi's eyes: "Because you didn't investigate properly, because of your negligence!"

"The Deep Dark Tribe has lost a elite squad! And a high priest has perished!"

"Do you know what the High Priest means to the Naga?"

"That is a wise man who can communicate with the lord of the deep sea! He is the soul of the tribe!"

"Now, the Naga are beginning to doubt the value of our Sakura Kingdom!"

"They doubt whether we are even qualified to be their vassals!"

"Do you know how much our country paid to quell their anger?!"

Cai Zhiqi trembled all over, almost crying: "I'm...I'm sorry..."

"Lord Miyata, I am willing to atone with my death..."

"Death?" Miyata Kiri scoffed. "What's your life worth?"

He sat up straight, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

The car fell silent again.

Only Cai Zhiqi's suppressed sobs could be heard.

After a long while, Miyata Kuri slowly spoke: "Kusano, you pleaded for him before, saying that keeping him alive was still useful."

Kusano Jiro quickly replied, "Yes, Lord Miyata."

"Cai Zhiqi has been working undercover in China for many years and is very familiar with the situation in Wujiang City. He also has a wide network of connections."

"Moreover... it's too difficult to plant a spy in China; it requires a lot of time and resources."

Miyata Kiri remained silent for a moment.

"Alright." He opened his eyes. "Then I'll give him a chance to redeem himself."

"Thank you, Mr. Miyata!" Cai Zhiqi nodded repeatedly, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon. "I will definitely do my best!"

"But—" Miyata Kiri abruptly changed the subject, "you're the one who needs to clean up the mess you've made!"

He paused, then said, slowly and deliberately, "I have two things to discuss with you this time in China."

"First, initiate the 'Amaterasu' project to create chaos in Wujiang City and weaken the Dragon Kingdom's defenses."

"second……"

A chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"I will personally eliminate Lin Yu and use his head to give the Naga tribe an explanation!"

Cai Zhiqi's body trembled.

"You are responsible for providing all information about Lin Yu!" Miyata Kiri pointed at Cai Zhiqi, "His whereabouts, habits, strengths, weaknesses, and everything about those around him!"

"What if we make a mistake again..."

He didn't go on.

But the temperature inside the car seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

Cai Zhiqi nodded vigorously: "Understood! I will definitely find out the truth!"

Miyata Kiri leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

"drive."

"yes!"

The car accelerated and drove into the night of Wujiang City.
