Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

Song He lowered the motorcycle extremely low, with the front almost touching the ground, and the exhaust pipe spewed out plumes of black smoke.

His knees scraped against the pavement, and the protective gear around his knees was already hot from the friction.

In the rearview mirror, the black figure was getting closer and closer.

Li Su did not fly.

She was like a shadow pushed by the wind, her toes lightly touching the roof of an abandoned bus, a low wall, and a broken utility pole, and she would leap forward more than ten meters.

The distance between the two people was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Song He's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.

He reached behind him and touched the metal box strapped to his back to make sure it was still there.

That box contains the latest "Soul Lock" from Tiangongfang. Once opened, it can release an interference field targeting extraordinary mental power.

The interference field itself cannot kill the awakened one, but it can make her dizzy, slow her reactions, and make her unable to concentrate on manipulating objects.

Huo Kun's plan was simple.

They led Li Su to an abandoned grain depot.

Six mental interference devices and two soul locks have already been buried there.

As soon as Li Su enters the grain depot's area, all the equipment will start simultaneously, suppressing her within a dead zone of 500 meters in radius.

Then the members of the Five Mountains Society swarmed forward and captured her alive with tranquilizer guns, stun guns, and alloy nets.

The only flaw in this plan is the person who goes to act as bait.

Song He followed Huo Kun in the Five Mountains Alliance for seventeen years.

He had seen too many people die in front of the chairman, and he had done too many dirty, shady jobs for the chairman.

He never imagined that one day he would become the bait that was thrown out.

But he did not refuse.

His life was saved by Huo Kun from the illegal mine.

Now that it's returned to Huo Kun, we're even.

The motorcycle sped across a railway track, bounced up suddenly, and then crashed back to the ground.

Song He gritted his teeth and twisted the accelerator to the floor.

It's less than three kilometers from the grain depot.

He just needs to hold on for another three kilometers.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the air behind them.

Before Song He could react, the motorcycle seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, and the front of the motorcycle instantly caved in.

His body was thrown from the car seat by the enormous inertia, tumbled twice in the air, and crashed heavily into the pile of rubble by the roadside.

The metal box flew out of his hand, bounced a few times on the ground, and rolled into a dry drainage ditch.

Song He's back slammed into a rock, and the pain made his vision go black.

He struggled to get up, but found that he couldn't put any weight on his left leg, and his calf was twisted at an unnatural angle.

broken.

Li Su slowly descended from mid-air and stood five steps in front of him.

The hem of her trench coat swayed gently in the wind, still stained with blood splattered from the square.

Song He leaned against the pile of rubble, looking at her face.

It was a pale, calm face, devoid of any expression.

Like a statue pulled out of icy water.

"What's in the box?"

Li Su's voice was very soft.

Song He smiled, but the corners of his mouth formed an ugly arc.

"You chased me for five kilometers, and you're only asking now?"

He didn't answer, but secretly reached his right hand behind his waist.

There was a dagger tucked there.

"You don't need to stall for time."

After Li Su finished speaking, she moved her finger slightly.

Song He's body was lifted off the ground by an invisible force and suspended in mid-air.

The dagger he had concealed behind his back flew out along with its sheath and embedded itself in a tree trunk ten meters away.

"What's in the granary?"

Li Su asked again.

Song He was being choked, his face turning purple, but he still managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"There's... something that could kill you..."

Li Su did not ask any further questions.

She raised another finger.

Song He's right arm was snapped at the shoulder by a tremendous force, and the sound of bones breaking was particularly clear on the empty highway.

"ah--!"

Song He let out a piercing scream.

"What's in the box? What's in the granary?"

Li Su's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"You don't have to tell me. Your boss is in the grain depot; I'll know when I get there."

Song He was trembling all over from the pain, his lips quivering, and he managed to utter a single, indistinct sentence.

"You will die...you will die a horrible death..."

Li Su looked at him as if he were a struggling insect.

She didn't say anything more.

With a gentle squeeze of the fingers.

Song He's chest collapsed silently, his heart was crushed, and he fell completely silent.

His body was thrown to the side of the road, like a bag of discarded garbage.

Li Su turned around and walked towards the drainage ditch.

The metal box lay at the bottom of the ditch, covered in mud and water, but otherwise intact.

She crouched down and reached out her hand.

The box opened automatically.

Inside was a soft armor woven from gray metal wire, with extremely fine luminous patterns inlaid on the inside of the plates.

The patterns were still flowing slowly, breathing like a living thing.

Li Su frowned slightly.

The moment her mental energy touched the soft armor, it was repelled by a strange force.

The force seemed to push her senses outwards and pull her consciousness downwards, causing a slight dizziness.

This was the trap that Huo Kun had prepared.

Li Su stood up and kicked the box back into the ditch.

She turned around and looked in the direction of the grain depot.

There was no escape.

Since someone there wants her to go.

She went.

------

The abandoned grain depot is located in a wasteland on the western outskirts of Shanyang City, two kilometers away from the nearest main road.

Half of the wall here has collapsed, and the rusty sliding door is half open, revealing the dark warehouse inside.

The surrounding weeds grew taller than a person, rustling softly in the wind.

Inside the grain depot, six mental interference devices were evenly placed in the six corners of the courtyard.

They were disguised as old oil drums, and there was nothing unusual about their appearance.

The two Soul Locks were hidden in the office on the second floor of the warehouse, facing the center of the courtyard.

Huo Kun sat in a black sedan a hundred meters away, observing the entrance to the grain depot with night vision binoculars.

Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man in gray overalls, holding a tablet computer with various data streams jumping on the screen.

"The target is approaching, less than two kilometers away."

"All equipment has been preheated and is ready to be started at any time."

The middle-aged man was a technician sent by Tiangongfang to operate these devices during the battle.

Huo Kun nodded, showing no sign of nervousness.

"Get the people inside ready. Move out on the signal."

He had already confirmed Song He's death through reconnaissance at the front.

But he wasn't sad at all.

Song He completed his mission.

This led Li Su here.

What happened next had nothing to do with the dead.
