Excessive ferocity due to caution

Hang up.

In the kitchen, Chris transformed into a beautiful cook, busily assisting Su Qingyao with her cooking.

"If you jump again, believe me, I'll slap you across the face!"

Chris displayed her divine authority, solemnly threatening a thrashing fish.

Snapped!

A crisp sound.

Clearly, Chris was launching her ultimate attack on a fish that wasn't dead yet... Oh no, I misjudged it; it was the fish that sprang up and slapped Chris across the face with its tail!

Chris stared wide-eyed at the fish in front of her in disbelief!

She...she was attacked by a fish!

How dare it?!

I am the great evil goddess Chris!

Still in shock, Chris pointed at the fish and exclaimed to Su Qingyao, who was holding a kitchen knife beside her:

"It...it...it..."

Snapped!

Su Qingyao, steady and ruthless, slammed the knife into the fish's head.

The fish immediately stopped moving.

After a few spasmodic twitches, the fish finally calmed down completely.

Chris's eyes were full of hearts as she gave Su Qingyao a thumbs up:

"Sister Qingyao is awesome!!"

Having said that, she stood triumphantly before the dead fish and began her evil god's whispers...

"Let me tell you, you're lucky you didn't fall for my tricks today, otherwise... %*&..."

...

After all the food was served, Chris seemed to harbor a particularly deep resentment towards the fish. To avenge the slap she had just received, she chewed up the fish bones and swallowed them whole...

After a hearty meal, Wu Liang received Zhao Yi's instructions and waited for him in the church.

It drove away all the assassins around it.

After Zhao Yi appeared in the church, Wu Liang said:

"Master, as you instructed, I have taken stock of some half-step Great Fiend level assassins, and have already secretly scouted the mountain..."

"There is indeed a cursed, dilapidated temple on that mountain."

"It's dangerous there, so I didn't let the assassins venture in recklessly."

"When does the cult leader plan to make his move?"

Zhao Yi stroked his chin.

"Don't take action."

Wu Liang was taken aback.

"Doesn't the cult leader want the identity card from the dilapidated temple?"

As Zhao Yi's right-hand man, Warehouse Ghost knows all the information about the entertainment company's reality show.

Zhao Yi took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smiled:

"There may not be an ID card in a dilapidated temple."

"I'm sending people to the mountain to scout out the area, mainly to make it easier for a large number of Jiejiao's assassins to migrate there later."

Wu Liang's eyes flickered.

"What does the cult leader mean?"

He is meticulous and leaves no room for error in anything he does.

But precisely because of this, Wu Liang could never guess what Zhao Yi was thinking.

Zhao Yi explained:

"The timing of the news was too sensitive...it came shortly after I killed Bai Xiao."

"I suspect there's something fishy going on."

"Secondly, they already have six identity cards. One more or one less won't make a difference... Anyway, they're just pawns to be used and discarded. There's no need for us to take risks for Leah and the other two."

Wu Liang thought about it carefully for a moment and immediately understood.

"Does the leader think that Bai Xiao deliberately used the identity card issue to scheme against you, and that after we go up the mountain, he will bring people to the outer city to 'steal our base'?"

Zhao Yi exhaled a smoke ring and laughed:

"right."

"In a couple of days, you will mobilize most of the low-ranking assassins of the Jie Sect to set up camp in the safe area that has been scouted in the mountains."

"Those at least at the half-step Great Ferocity level should remain in the outer city and be ready to fight at any time."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yi revised his statement:

"Send ten half-step Great Ferocity level assassins to the mountain to help keep watch."

"In case we encounter trouble, we'll have someone to rely on."

Wu Liang nodded:

"Don't worry, Master, Wu Liang will handle these minor matters himself."

"Just to be on the safe side, should we call Fangfang out this time?"

Fangfang, the crybaby, already possessed strength at the near-Great Ferocity level a long time ago.

Among the many ghosts, Fangfang is very special.

She has some secrets.

When you're not crying, you're weak.

Once they start crying, it gets more and more terrifying!

After being taught and developed by the warehouse ghost for so many days, Fangfang gradually began to control the power within her body.

Previously, it would take her a considerable amount of time to raise her power to the near-Great Ferocity level while crying.

But now, as soon as she cries, she transforms into a high-level near-great ferocity in just a few breaths!

Even Wu Liang would have to go all out to hurt her!

"I hope they don't court death."

...

The stars were sparse in the night.

Zhao Yi stood quietly on a tall building, looking at the giant city wall of the inner city as usual.

A cold wind blew past the hem of his clothes.

Chris, wearing a burgundy dress, stood beside Zhao Yi, gazing at the other side with him.

On the desolate road, there was nothing but fallen leaves and dust.

Not long ago, the warehouse ghost had already sent a large number of members of the Jie Sect to the mountains in the outer suburbs.

At this moment, the Jie Sect also abandoned its surveillance of the traitors within the inner city.

Let them spread the news.

Tonight, it's time to close the net.

Will they come?

Chris was somewhat insecure.

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"They'd better not come."

Chris glanced at Zhao Yi.

This man is always so confident.

Of course she knew that Zhao Yi's unspoken meaning was... Bai Xiao would definitely come!

At this very moment, a tight net has been cast over the outer city of the ruined city...

After waiting for about half an hour, some furtive dark figures appeared in the distant, dark expanse...

P.S.: I'm experiencing writer's block.

Two updates today.

Good night!!
