Excessive ferocity due to caution

Entertainment company division.

In a special room, Lü Hong stood beneath a huge instrument, watching the messages flashing rapidly across the screen.

A technician stood beside him, his pure white uniform giving him a professional look.

"Still haven't found it?"

Lü Hong was getting impatient.

The technician quickly smiled apologetically:

"Lord Lü, please be patient. This machine is searching for a lot of information and needs to undergo rigorous screening to eliminate a large amount of useless information, so it is inevitable that it will be a little slow."

Lü Hong took a deep breath and continued to wait.

About three minutes later, a number of messages appeared on the machine, clearly distinguished by their importance.

Lü Hong stepped forward and examined it carefully.

"Abandoned city?"

He muttered to himself.

I really hadn't expected this to be such a strange place, so I asked the technician next to me:

"Where is the abandoned city located?"

Just as the technician was about to take out his phone to check, he suddenly remembered that when he was squatting in the toilet at noon, his phone had fallen into the pit and become soaked in water. He felt disgusted by the mess, and his pride compelled him not to use his hands to retrieve it, but instead went out to find some clips.

When the results came out, he remembered the happy things and forgot them with a smile.

"I'm asking you a question, what are you spacing out for?"

Lü Hong's tone was impatient.

The technician was startled, his eyes darting around.

"Hmm...abandoned city, the abandoned city is in a very remote place."

"Hey! That place is far from the capital, no wonder no one in the capital can find Zhao Yi. If you want to know the exact location of the ruined city, I'll make you a map right away."

Lü Hong frowned:

"Then what are you standing there for?"

Upon hearing this, the technicians immediately scurried out.

Once he stepped outside, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Damn, that was close.

Fortunately, he was clever and quick-witted.

Based on his understanding of Lü Hong, if he said something like "I don't know" when Lü Hong was in a bad mood, it would only make her more upset, and she might be fired at best, or even die at worst.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about his iPhone soaking in the toilet. He quickly looked up the exact location of the abandoned city and several feasible routes from the capital to it.

In fact, Lü Hong could find out these things herself with just a few taps on her finger.

However, as long as she has subordinates she can give orders to, Lü Hong will not take action herself.

This is Lü Hong's motto for doing things.

Having obtained the map, Lü Hong's gaze turned cold. He recalled the phone call Zhao Yi had made to him a few days ago, and anger burned within him.

"Zhao Yi, you damned stray dog, soon I'll show you why the capital city deserves to be called the capital city!"

"And what makes my Lü family worthy of being among the four great clans of the capital!"

"Since even the most wicked can't subdue you, then I'll let you see what it means to be a master before you die!"

...

Zhao Yishihai.

Nourished by the blazing sun overhead and the waters of the Northern Sea, Zhao Yi's originally barren and arid spiritual world began to flourish with verdant greenery.

Those mosses contain unimaginable divine power.

Zhao Yi continuously absorbed this divine power, nurturing his triple body.

My strength... is slowly returning.

Both physically and mentally, Zhao Yi is constantly getting stronger!

While reviewing the classics, Zhao Yi gradually mastered the concepts of "What the Master Did Not Say" and "Strange Powers and Chaotic Spirits." In the void, Zhao Yi clenched his fist, feeling the explosive power emanating from his body, his eyes shining brightly!

His original first level of cultivation, the Eight Arms, was to develop his physical body to its limit. Now, with the fusion of supernatural powers and strange abilities, he is becoming even more terrifying. If he reaches the pinnacle, his physical body will probably be truly indestructible!

His consciousness sank into the world where the red lacquered wooden door was located. At this moment, Zhao Yi felt that his condition was much stronger than when he had just killed me. So he prepared to go and explore the dark road behind the red lacquered wooden door.

In the misty world where the red lacquered wooden door was located, Zhao Yi was still standing at the doorway, motionless.

Behind them, they could still hear the agonizing screams coming from the wooden door.

But once they crossed that threshold, those losers could no longer pose the slightest threat to Zhao Yi.

March forward with big strides.

Zhao Yi walked deeper into the space behind the door.

That long, dark road would fill travelers with fear.

Here... is absolute darkness.

There was not a ray of light.

Every step seemed extremely difficult.

A terrifying whisper could be heard in my ear.

The greater the fear, the colder and more piercing, the more ferocious and insane this voice becomes!

The fear in one's heart will transform into countless demons and monsters at this moment, lurking all around, ready to strike at any time and tear the traveler to pieces!

Zhao Yi could also hear the whispers, which had an extremely hallucinogenic effect, and even someone as mentally strong as him was not immune to them!

puff!

In the darkness, an unseen arm reached out and pierced Zhao Yi's chest, drawing out a large amount of blood!

An unknown entity stood before Zhao Yi.

It appeared at an unknown time.

I have no idea what it looks like.

The two were very close, and Zhao Yi could hear its panting.

He did not go any further, but confronted it.

Both were like sculptures, completely still.

puff!

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of flesh being pierced rang out again in the darkness.

The second arm pierced Zhao Yi's body fiercely!

Zhao Yi's hand... froze in mid-air.

He sensed the appearance of the second arm, but he was too slow and failed to grab it.

I felt a wave of dizziness.

Zhao Yi felt threatened with death.

He reached out and touched the arm that had pierced his own body; the arm was as cold as a corpse.

Fingers quickly traced the surface.

Both arms belong to human beings.

At least the shape is.

One is a man, and the other is a woman.

They don't look old at all.

Zhao Yi tried to break free, but it was no use. The arms that pierced his body were like leeches clinging to his flesh, following him relentlessly!

When he moves, these arms and their owners will move indiscriminately with him!

Zhao Yi reached out and grasped the man's arm that was piercing his chest, trying to pull it out. At the critical moment, a terrifying crisis suddenly appeared, carrying a strong aura of death. Zhao Yi almost instantly summoned Taotie and slashed horizontally with his sword!

puff!

Too slow.

The third arm... pierced Zhao Yi's stomach without any resistance!

"..."

Zhao Yi's vision was blurring, the dizziness was getting stronger, and his body was getting weaker.

The Touch of Oblivion, a powerful self-healing ability, has become useless at this moment!

He swung his knife, intending to sever the arms piercing his body, but suddenly realized—

The Taotie were completely unable to harm these people in the darkness or the arms that had pierced their own bodies!

PS: Fourth update.

I'm going to sleep! My plan to write 10,000 words is ruined.

1000 point difference.

I'm sleepy, I'm stopping here.

Goodnight, my darlings!
