Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

The lens in his eyeball first turned a cloudy white like that of boiled food, and then, like glass melting at high temperatures, it flowed down the charred corners of his eyes, leaving two shocking black marks on his cheeks.

Before his retina was completely burned through, the last thing he saw was Li Rui's cold, blood-gold eyes, and the ruby ​​brooch on Li Rui's chest that was beating wildly, like the eye of a god.

Immediately afterwards, the karmic fire invaded his cranial cavity.

The brain that was once used to manipulate people's hearts, weave sins, and play with Dawn City at will began to boil violently under the high temperature.

The brain tissue transformed into countless churning bubbles, each bursting and creating a small cluster of dazzling sparks within the cranial cavity.

That was not only physical destruction, but also the mournful cry of his last shred of consciousness.

Finally, the karmic fire revealed its most incredible spirituality.

It specially set aside a single, most intense flame, which pierced straight into the depths of Wang Shijun's crumbling soul.

It accurately identified that arrogant thought of being "born into nobility" and believing that "survival of the fittest is the only law of nature."

Then, wrap it tightly and burn it repeatedly, bit by bit.

Burn it to ashes, then use the rules of karmic fire to generate sinful residue from the ashes, and then burn the residue.

This process continues until that arrogant superiority is completely erased, turning into the most empty void.

Throughout the entire lengthy execution process, not even a single scream could be heard from the study, because Wang Shijun had long since lost the ability to speak.

In the empty room, the only sounds were the crackling of the flames burning fiercely and the faint hissing of flesh disintegrating under extreme heat.

Finally, the last wisp of ash, invisible to the naked eye, drifted away in the pillar of fire.

The dark red pillar of fire that stretched from heaven to earth collapsed with a roar, as if it had lost its supporting skeleton.

It transformed into a sky full of dark red sparks, quietly blooming in front of the French windows.

The sparks, like a red snowflake, drifted down onto the study floor, the broken marble bar, and the scattered shards of glass, then flickered and died out one by one.

……

The night wind howled mournfully around Yunxiao Mansion.

When Wang Shiwei arrived, the area around Yunxiao Mansion was already sealed off by a massive force of Special Investigations personnel and steel barriers.

She stood frozen in place, her mind blank.

That's too late.

It was too late to stop it.

The Special Investigation Bureau's inescapable net had already been set up outside Cloud Mansion, and now that net was tightening.

A tremendous sense of powerlessness overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

She turned around abruptly and, with the authority of an assistant consultant, barged into the front-line command vehicle.

On the huge screen, the helmet cameras of the frontline assault team members are connected.

Since Li Rui has destroyed all the surveillance equipment on the top floor, this is currently the only viewpoint that allows a clear view of the top floor.

The moment Wang Shiwei rushed in, the scene was perfectly clear—the one she least wanted to see and could never forget in her life.

Through the shaky camera lens as the assault team advanced silently, she clearly saw the dark red pillar of fire that stretched from heaven to earth.

A blurry human figure floated in the center of the pillar of fire.

That was her brother.

Her biological brother, who had protected her since childhood and placed high hopes on her, and although they had drifted apart due to differences in their beliefs, they still shared the same blood in their veins.

There was no sound in the video, only the optical distortion caused by the suffocating heat.

Wang Shiwei watched helplessly as the figure gradually disappeared in the dark red light.

Skin, flesh, and bones disintegrated under the irrational judgment of karmic fire, ultimately transforming into a sky full of dark red sparks.

"elder brother……"

Wang Shiwei's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the floor of the command center.

The sparks fell like a rain of blood, covering the ground before extinguishing one by one.

My brother is gone.

Not even a handful of ashes remained.

Wang Shiwei bit her lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her heart felt as if it were being torn apart by two saws.

If I hadn't reminded Li Rui, would Li Rui still have come?

Will my brother die?

she does not know.

She asked herself: Do I regret it?

If that email hadn't been sent, my brother might still be wielding his power and influence.

But if he hadn't sent that email, the once righteous Li Rui might have walked right into his brother's scheme without warning.

She helped Li Rui, but caused her brother's death.

In this meat grinder of justice and evil, family ties and conscience, she found that no matter which side she stood on, her hands were stained with blood.

She became the most painful sacrifice in this enormous vortex.

In stark contrast to Wang Shiwei's breakdown was Gu Heng standing at the command post.

The special advisor watched expressionlessly as Wang Shijun vanished into nothingness on the big screen.

He did not order a rescue because, from a tactical standpoint, there simply wasn't enough time.

Furthermore, from a selfish perspective, he wanted to capture Li Rui 100% and was unwilling to risk any accidents for it.

As long as Li Rui is still there, and as long as this "extraordinary sample" can be captured 100%, all sacrifices can be forgiven.

For the Special Investigation Bureau, the giant crater at Nanshan Nursing Home and the explosion that resulted in Han Xiao's mutual destruction are still the sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads.

That nightmarish lesson spurred the creation of the city's strongest armed forces, highest authority, and fastest response time.

The plans for suppressing and capturing "abnormal individuals" have been practiced hundreds of times in the simulation system.

Tonight marks the first time this inescapable net has been truly put into practical use.

"Air support has locked onto the target area."

"The outer perimeter of the ground has been sealed off; no secondary targets have been detected."

"Sniper teams at high points six, seven, and eight are in position."

"The stairwell assault team is in position."

"The infrasound generator is fully charged, and the flame-retardant foam system is preheated."

Reports came one after another over the walkie-talkie, weaving together a tight, impenetrable web of death.

Gu Heng stared at the figure still standing amidst the swirling sparks on the screen, then suddenly waved his hand: "Attack!"

The moment the order was given, a barrage of "non-lethal" suppression descended like a storm.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

On the rooftop of a distant skyscraper, six sniper rifles fired simultaneously.

However, the bullet fired from the chamber was not an armor-piercing round capable of tearing through armor, but a high-pressure anesthetic round specially made by the Lieyang Military Region.

Six bullets tore through the night wind from different bizarre angles, heading straight for Li Rui's limbs and torso.

They don't aim for vital organs, but only seek to paralyze the nerves instantly.

At the same time, the special forces downstairs activated the infrasound generator.

An invisible low-frequency vibration instantly penetrated the ceiling, reaching the interior of the top-floor study, attempting to shatter the target's semicircular canals and internal organ balance from within.
