The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

into the night.

Shangjing City.

Even in this city, which boasts the highest urban status, the most developed economy, the most political center, and the concentration of T0-level professionals in the Huaxia region, there are still dark corners.

The restaurant that Old Wang's family had run for decades was taken away by someone.

The other party is one of the many prominent families in the capital city. Although they are not among the most famous, they are not people that an ordinary family like his can afford to offend.

Old Wang's entire family depended on this restaurant for a living, and now that they've lost their source of income, he's in despair.

He sat alone on a park bench, carrying a plastic bag of beer, trying to drown his sorrows, unsure of what to do next.

There was no way to appeal.

The other party acquired it through legal means, but the price was ridiculously low.

"Sigh, everyone says Beijing is great, but that's only for the upper class. What does it have to do with us? Heh..."

Just as Old Wang was feeling sentimental.

A young man suddenly appeared behind him.

Ye Chen.

At this moment, his bangs flew up to the top of his head, standing straight up like silver needles.

Beneath the red headscarf on her forehead, a faint golden light seeped out.

The corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Mr. Wang, you seem to be in trouble. I can help you."

Old Wang turned around, drunk.

"Hey, little one, what can you do for me?"

"I'll kill the people who took your restaurant for you."

"what?"

"Kill him, and you'll get your revenge! Kill him, and your restaurant will be back in your hands! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

Ye Chen's gaze gradually turned sinister.

Old Wang's mind was gradually affected, and he nodded blankly.

"Yes, I've never done anything wrong in my life, I'm an honest and law-abiding citizen, why should he bully me? He should... be killed!"

"Great, I'll do it for you. You just need to do a little bit of work."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Give me some of your soul power."

"What is that?"

"It's useless to you."

"Then you can take it."

"Great, thank you!"

An inexplicable and mysterious power transferred from Old Wang to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen turned around, a red light flashing in his eyes, and tilted his head to determine the direction.

"The Tao family is in that direction, isn't it?"

Ye Chen had only taken a few steps when suddenly his gaze became clear, and his bangs fell down.

"Are we really going to kill someone? My other self?"

Ye Chen seemed to have a split personality; his expression and bangs changed again.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling guilty?"

"That's murder."

"It wasn't you who killed him, it was Old Wang! We used his soul power; if it wasn't him, then who was?"

"Yes, is that how it's calculated...?"

"That's right, just listen to me. You've already won second place in the Rookie King Challenge, and your hometown will soon catch the attention of the leaders of the China Region. Your fellow villagers will be proud of you!"

"I really have to thank you for this."

"So don't forget what you promised me. Don't hinder me from doing what I'm supposed to do."

"I... okay."

Ye Chen left the park to find Old Wang's enemy.

Behind him, bandits were following him.

"This Ye Chen has been staying at school for days, not stepping out even once, giving us no chance to make a move. We must take him down tonight!"

"You old scoundrel! Do you have a plan yet?!"

"Hold him down, force the Dark Dagger out, attach a Soul-Locking Talisman to prevent his soul from switching bodies, then use the Soul-Devouring Bead to draw out the evil spirit of the dagger. Finally, make Ye Chen hand over the Dark Dagger!"

"Good heavens, that's simple and brutal! How could you do that to such an innocent kid like Ye Chen!"

Song Gua tactics backward lean.

"What do you know? Using everything will only hurt him. Let me bear this pain!"

Multiple clones:

"Shameless!"

The nights in Beijing are still quite bustling.

The group followed him closely, trying to find a secluded spot to make their move.

Following along, they finally waited until Ye Chen entered a dark alley.

"Let's do it!"

"Let's do it!"

Huh?

Why is there an echo?

do not care!

The bandits rushed out from all directions, and the leading men leaped forward to tackle Ye Chen.

"Catch net!"

Several gunshots rang out, and people dressed in Special Bureau uniforms emerged, firing several large nets covered in abyssal rock from their devices.

These nets failed to catch Ye Chen, but the bandits stumbled upon them.

"Who?! Who the hell attacked me?!"

"Who?! Who's interfering with our operation?!"

"Ye Chen is trying to run! Stop him!"

"Ye Chen, don't run away! Come back with us for questioning!"

"Who the hell are you! Good dogs don't block the way!"

"Bandits?! You're here to cause trouble again, aren't you?!"

Not only were bandits following Ye Chen, but also an investigation team from the Special Bureau.

As luck would have it, it was the same third investigation team that arrested Xu Kai and his group last time.

The two groups rushed into the narrow alley at the same time, collided on the spot, and blocked each other, making it impossible for either of them to move.

Ye Chen seized the opportunity and slipped away.

Both sides were furious and accused each other of being pigs.

The third group leader stormed up to the bandits, assuming it was Xu Kai's gang again, so he didn't check their ranks by opening the information view function.

"Xu Kai! Which one is Xu Kai?!"

Upon hearing this, Song Gua's mind immediately opened up.

A clone wearing a nine-stripe headgear stepped forward.

"I am Xu Kai!"

Wearing a hood will naturally alter one's voice and appearance somewhat.

In addition, Song Gua had his clone deliberately imitate Xu Kai's voice, and the similarity was quite high.

"What are you doing here?! Didn't I warn you not to imitate bandits anymore?"

The fake Xu Kaiyi spoke righteously.

"Sir, do we need your Special Affairs Bureau's permission to decide what we wear and do when we go out at night? Who says it's illegal to wear this?"

"Don't think that just because you're from the same hometown as Wang Miao, you can rely on him to protect you! Interfering with our Special Affairs Bureau's law enforcement is something I have the right to detain you!"

"Hey? You have time to lecture us, why don't you go chase after your target? They've already disappeared!"

The third group leader glanced in the direction Ye Chen had left, then turned back and pointed to "Xu Kai" and the others.

"You just wait! Chase after them!"

No sooner had the three group leaders left than Song Gua switched places, instantly retracting all his clones.

Then switch to another character who can become invisible. They immediately become invisible, pass through walls, and accelerate, successfully escaping.

The three group leaders had only run a few steps when they sensed something was wrong.

"Is Xu Kai really that tough?"

The third group leader looked back, but the bandits had vanished without a trace.

"Damn it, it seems we've run into real bandits! They were impersonating Xu Kai, and we've been fooled!"

"Team leader, what's going on?"

"Those people were real bandits pretending to be fake bandits!"

The group members looked at each other blankly and then shrugged.

"Is the team leader reciting a tongue twister?"
