He just broke up with his girlfriend and is already living with the devilish rich girl.

Shenyi looked at the woman in front of him, who was covered in blood but had a gentle smile on her face, with a puzzled expression.

His gaze moved from the hem of her blood-stained dress to her squinting eyes, trying to recall the face from his memory.

"Who are you?"

Bai Qing covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes curving into two crescent moons.

The bloodstains at the corner of her mouth had dried, and as she smiled, several cracks appeared.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Bai Qing, and I am Bai Ziheng's older sister."

"Mr. Bai's sister?"

Shenyi was even more puzzled.

He mobilized all the relevant information in his mind, compared them one by one, and finally frowned.

Bai Ziheng's sister should be a very ordinary person...

"Sir, you really are something."

Bai Qing's tone carried a hint of reproach.

"You sent people to kill me, yet you don't even know who I am?"

"I sent someone to kill you?" Shen Yi tilted her head, trying hard to remember.

He recalled the instructions he had given to all his clones.

Eliminate or dissuade any targets that may become obstacles.

The list includes Venerable Luo Yao, the Breaker of Order, the Dragon Lord, the Lord of Youdu, Tu Shan Yue, and Bai Zi Heng.

And the "Tailor," whose true face has never been seen by anyone, and who is ranked number one among the S-class operators of the China Special Administration Bureau.

"I should have told all my clones that they should never lay a hand on Mr. Bai or his family."

Shenyi said earnestly.

"Really?" Bai Qing blinked, seemingly surprised.

She raised her blood-stained hand and gently cupped her cheek, leaving several dark red finger marks.

"But your clone wasn't so obedient; it almost wiped out all my colleagues at the small supermarket where I work."

"Those are all friends that my brother finally managed to make."

"Is that so?" Shen Yi nodded slightly, without avoiding the question.

"Then I apologize. After all, I was in a place where I couldn't effectively manage my clones, so they might have gone a bit too far."

"I hope you can convey my apologies to Mr. Bai and His Excellency."

"oops."

Bai Qing gently covered her mouth with her hand, which was covered in sticky blood, and a troubled expression appeared on her face.

The blood had been partially dried by the wind, and bits of flesh were still stuck between her fingers.

"What a gentle and polite child you are! Now I feel too embarrassed to keep getting angry at you."

"I don't want any unnecessary conflict with Mr. Bai or His Excellency."

Shenyi said frankly.

He didn't move his feet, still standing in the middle of the corridor, with the door to the Director-General's office behind him.

"Oh, I see." Bai Qing nodded in sudden understanding.

"Then I won't dwell on the fact that you sent someone to kill me. After all, you didn't mean any harm to my lovely little brother."

When Bai Qing smiled, she looked like a gentle and kind older sister next door.

Her features were gentle, her voice sweet, and she exuded a warm and approachable aura.

If you ignore the blood dripping from her body, she looks no different from any other girl.

But Shenyi dared not relax in the slightest.

The woman walked from the first floor to the top floor and slaughtered all the thousands of alien creatures he had placed on the floors.

Those aliens are as strong as A-rank operators, and there are even a few mutants that are close to the threshold of S-rank.

They held a prime location at their peak, yet without exception, they all became fragments in the elevator.

What alarmed him even more was that throughout the entire process, there was no energy fluctuation from the woman.

"Since you and my brother don't have any conflict, I won't bother you any longer."

Bai Qing bowed slightly to him, her posture standard and proper.

"I'm sorry for making this place dirty."

"It's okay."

Shenyi had no intention of stopping her.

His intuition was repeatedly sending out warning signals.

This woman gave him a very strange feeling.

She has no powerful energy core in her body, her superpowers are almost zero, and her behavior appears to be that of an ordinary human woman.

But it is precisely this utter "ordinariness" that makes it seem extremely unusual in the current situation.

An ordinary person could not possibly break into this building and still be breathing.

It is impossible for an ordinary person to cut thousands of aliens into uniformly sized pieces.

Bai Qing raised her hand and pressed the close button on the elevator.

"etc."

"It's a mirage," Shen Yi said.

"Hmm?" Bai Qing's finger stopped on the button, and her eyes curved into crescents again.

"I have a question."

"Speaking."

"When did you arrive?"

A question from a mirage.

He wasn't really concerned about her whereabouts; he just wanted to buy himself a few more seconds to use his soul perception to delve deeper into her essence.

About ten minutes ago.

Bai Qing answered honestly.

"Because the city's traffic was paralyzed, I rode my bicycle here, which took a little longer."

She said it casually.

"...Okay, I have no more questions."

Shen Yi gave up. No matter how hard he tried to investigate, he couldn't figure out what this woman was.

Bai Qing smiled and pressed the close button.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

"Oh, right, sir. Just in case, may I ask one more question?"

"What?"

"If my brother insists on getting involved in this matter, will you still... go to war with him?"

Her tone remained gentle, tinged with curiosity, as if she were asking a trivial question.

The elevator doors continued to close slowly.

Shenyi looked at the harmless smile that peeked out from the slits of her eyes and nodded.

"meeting."

Click—

Just as the elevator doors were about to close completely, a fair hand suddenly emerged from the gap between the closing doors.

His fingers were stuck between the metal door panels.

Through the crack in the door, the eyes that had been narrowed into crescent moons opened slightly.

The smile inside was no longer gentle; instead, it was a chilling cold that seemed to freeze one's soul.

The moment just a sliver of her pupils was revealed, the temperature in the entire corridor seemed to drop.

"Well... I'm sorry."

Before Shenyi could even process the meaning of those words, his instincts had already acted before his consciousness could react.

The same fear of death that Shen Er felt when facing Luo Yao was like ice water seeping into every nerve.

next second.

Countless fine red threads appeared around him without warning.

The lines were as thin as hair, dark red in color, like solidified blood vessels, hanging down from the void, winding and cutting.

The position of each line was calculated to the millimeter, sealing off all possible escape routes for him.

What is this...?!

The alarm bells in Shenyi's heart rang loudly.

He suddenly took a step back, simultaneously compressing the gravitational field of the Mirage II onto his body to form a shield.

"Clatter—"

A warm sensation came from my right arm.

He looked down and saw that his right arm had been cleanly severed at the shoulder.

The wound was so smooth it didn't look like it had been cut open. The cross-section of the clavicle clearly showed the layers of bone tissue, like an anatomical atlas in a textbook.

What horrified him even more was the arm that had fallen to the ground; the moment it touched the ground...

It shattered again, as if it had been cut open from the inside by countless knives at the same time, eventually scattering into pieces like minced meat on the ground.

Fresh blood spread out in a fan shape, and wisps of steam rose from the minced meat.

Shen Yi's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

His gravity shield didn't work; there wasn't even a trace of it being damaged.

Those red lines seemed to exist in another dimension, completely ignoring his defenses.

What exactly happened just now?

What exactly is this woman's superpower...?

He could clearly feel that a part of his soul had been shattered in that brief moment and had not returned to his body.

Attacks that can directly affect the soul are not uncommon; most powerful psychic ability users can do it.

However, those attacks usually require complex preparation.

To build spiritual connections, to invade the sea of ​​consciousness, or to break down the barriers of the soul.

Like this woman, who used a seemingly purely physical attack to shred the soul like an ordinary piece of meat, making it impossible to recover.

He had never heard of such a thing before.

His soul was formed from the aggregation of 31,779 of his kind, and the fusion structure of each soul and body was intricate and complex.

If it had been an ordinary superhuman taking the brunt of that woman's attack, their soul would probably have been completely shattered.

too frightening.

As Shen Yi stared into the pair of icy eyes peeking through the crack in the door, he instantly understood the true meaning of the code name "Tailor".

This woman is Bai Qing.

He is the most mysterious S-class leader in the history of the China Special Administration Bureau.

Her mystery stems not from her ability to conceal her abilities, but from the fact that everyone who witnessed her actions never had the chance to speak again.

"I see." Shen Yi pressed his right shoulder wound, and blood gushed out from between his fingers.

He took a step back.

"It seems you are the 'tailor'."

Bai Qing slowly opened the elevator door and stepped out of the car.

Blood was still dripping from the hem of her dress, but the smile on her face returned to its gentle mode.

But the chill deep in his eyes had not completely faded.

"I don't really care what others call me."

She tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"However, my brother probably wants me to be a good older sister, so could you please keep this a secret for me? Oh, I forgot, you probably won't have a chance to meet my brother."

How much do you know about me?

Shen asked in a deep voice.

He wasn't as relaxed as she was; at this moment, he was carefully channeling his strength, adjusting his physical condition to its optimal level.

The missing part of his soul caused him waves of pain, as if thousands of needles were piercing his brain at the same time.

"Not much," Bai Qing said, shrugging her shoulders.

"I know you escaped from the Dark Prison, and I also know that your soul is composed of 'our kind'."

"Then, you have nine clones, and the death of each one causes the power to flow back."

"Is that all?"

That's all.

Bai Qing nodded.

"So what I did just now was to see if I could slice you into pieces."

"The results showed that your soul has completed its final fusion. It's a bit stronger than I expected."

"Your ability can cut everything?" Shen asked.

"I can cut anything that's related to 'thread'."

Bai Qing said earnestly, paused, and then added.

"Including causality, soul, space, time... and gravity."

She raised her right hand, then extended her index and middle fingers and made a light sweeping motion in the air.

"Slap, slap, slap!"

The gravitational field surrounding the mirage made a slight tearing sound, like fabric being sliced ​​by sharp scissors.

Several slits were neatly cut into it.

Shenyi was silent for a moment, then raised his head and let out a low laugh.

There was no anger in the laughter, but rather a hint of cold relief.

"I'm lucky."

He looked at Bai Qing, his eyes once again becoming as deep as an ancient well. Yes, he really should be grateful.

If it were before he obtained the souls of all his kind, or even if the time were just half an hour earlier.

He hadn't even completed the final fusion with the 31,779 souls when he encountered this woman; he would probably truly die without a burial place.

"I think you're just unlucky."

Bai Qing smiled too.

"Because if you hadn't met me today, you might still be able to quietly turn this place into your world as planned."

"But my brother is among the people you want to exclude."

"Mr. Bai is an interesting opponent."

Shen nodded.

"But if you insist on interfering, I'll have no choice but to deal with you as well."

"What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."

Bai Qing chuckled softly, and her body vanished from the spot like ashes scattered by the wind.

When she reappeared, she was already above Mirage One's head, her hands outstretched with all ten fingers.

Hundreds of red threads stretched out from between each of his fingers, like a vast, deadly spiderweb, enveloping him.
