Excessive ferocity due to caution

The system has detected that Addison is dead.

The hidden quest "Help Addison Fulfill Its Wish," which the host received in the Silent Containment Facility, will lose its reward. Do you wish to abandon the quest?

A system message popped up at this moment.

Zhao Yi remained silent, smoking a cigarette beside Edison.

The sparks from the cigarette butt stood out starkly in the dark room.

It had actually burned down to the cigarette holder.

But he didn't want to put out the cigarette.

"I'll stay with you this far."

Zhao Yi lowered his head and said calmly.

He refused to abandon the mission.

Now, it's no longer a matter of rewarding or not rewarding.

After putting away Ouyang Feng's body, Zhao Yi helped Edison clean up the stains on his body and then put him into the system's storage space as well.

Addison is dead.

The marks of life disappear.

Therefore, the system does not need to set up a special containment space for it.

...

Outside the town.

cemetery.

Zhao Yi, along with the warehouse ghosts and other assassins, stood beside a tombstone with Fangfang, who was sobbing incessantly.

This is a cenotaph set up for Xuanxuan.

Fangfang buried her favorite little rag doll and Xuanxuan's clothes together.

Looking at the tombstone in front of her with the words "Xuanxuan" written on it, she couldn't help but recall Xuanxuan's innocent smile and how kind she was to her.

Hatred is growing.

It's like the first stroke of thick ink being applied to a spotless sheet of paper.

The black is striking, yet dazzling.

After Xuanxuan's funeral, Zhao Yi entrusted Fangfang to the warehouse ghost, asking it to help develop Fangfang's abilities.

He drove to the ghost hotel and met the owner there once again.

This time, the mysterious door was wide open for him.

Inside, there is a mirror.

In the mirror, countless strands of black hair were intertwined and tangled.

Hidden within that overwhelming expanse of hair were countless human heads, and it was these heads and the hair on their heads that formed this massive black hair mass!

Behind this mass of black hair was a huge, obese woman, her skin pale, rough, and covered with pustules.

Apart from a head of thick, beautiful hair pieced together from human heads, the woman was so obese that she could only sit in one place and could not move.

"You did it."

The woman's eyes held admiration and emotion.

She had already heard about Xuanxuan and Edison's affair.

"I will keep my promise."

"From this day forward, I will join the Jie Sect, and everything about the Ghost Hotel will serve the Jie Sect!"

Zhao Yi went to the mirror and returned the wooden comb to her.

"Thank you for the comb."

Several hours later.

Warehouse Ghost and Zhao Yi arrived at a high, desolate mountain on the outskirts of the city and began to observe the gradually returning peace of Guxuan Town.

"What are the cult leader's plans next?"

Zhao Yi squinted his eyes:

"Guxuan Town is just a starting point."

"Those guys call themselves gods, able to squander the lives and deaths of others at will... and this place will become the birthplace of divine blasphemy!"

The warehouse ghost's eyes held surprise:

"Does the cult leader want to save the world?"

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

Do you think the common people are important to someone like me?

The warehouse ghost pondered for a moment:

"Could they be from the Church or the Fifth Federation?"

Zhao Yi shook his head:

"That's not right either."

The warehouse ghost was stunned:

"What is important to the cult leader?"

Zhao Yi said calmly:

"People without the church and the federation are important to me."

"Saving the common people is something only heroes should do."

"I am not a hero, I am just...a person whose mind is blinded by hatred."

The warehouse ghost laughed happily and bowed, saying:

"I understand what the Master means."

"The Martial Arts Association has trained a sufficiently sharp blade for the leader!"

"Supply the cult leader...for revenge!"

Zhao Yi gave Gu Xuanzhen a meaningful look.

"Next, we'll see the abandoned city."

"I need to clear the road to the ruined city as soon as possible."

"You can handle the affairs of Guxuan Town for now. As for the remaining forces, if they are willing to join the Jie Sect, please register their names first."

The warehouse ghost asked:

"What if they are unwilling to join the Jie Sect?"

Zhao Yi turned her head slightly, her smile unchanged:

"They can set conditions."

"But... we can't refuse."

The warehouse ghost nodded:

"Understood."

...

The haze has dissipated.

Guxuan Town quickly returned to its former tranquility.

Since being warned by Zhao Yi, many mid-level players in the guild's headquarters have started to switch guilds and join other guilds out of fear of Zhao Yi.

The remaining group of new players, as always, banded together for mutual support.

Zhao Yi's deeds spread among them.

Gradually, it was demonized.

Almost all players are wary of him.

But this fear actually made the guild much calmer, and it stopped the infighting that used to happen.

Players are focusing more on dungeons.

I want to become stronger as soon as possible... just like Zhao Yi.

Inside the abandoned train station, the clown was still playing cards with Zhao Yi.

However, after what happened at the church, his attitude towards Zhao Yi changed drastically.

"I joined the church to investigate the truth of a matter..."

The clown began to tell Zhao Yi a story.

"What's wrong?"

"My mother's matter."

"I remember last time you said your mother was turned into a puppet by your father and then you killed her with your own hands."

The clown said calmly:

"That's true."

"But I've only told you half the story."

"I originally thought that my father turned my mother into a doll because he was so obsessed with his career that he went crazy... But later, when I was going through my father's belongings, I found a notebook."

"Inside, there was a letter my father left for me."

"In the letter, my father, who had been wildly enthusiastic about joining Chaotic World Entertainment Co., Ltd., repeatedly and sternly instructed me to stay away from that company!"

"The farther...the better!"

Zhao Yi's expression was subtle.

"You mean... your father has been faking insanity all along?"

PS: That's over 6000 for today.

Tomorrow we'll open the next large-scale world dungeon, "Evil Mountain".

I thought I could finish writing these plot points when I reached 30 words, but I ended up writing 60 words.

I need to speed up my updates, otherwise this book will never be finished.

Goodnight, my darlings!
