It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Yun Li left as soon as she was free, leaving the investigation to Mu Qian and the others. Her main task was to find the hidden Jiazigou bloodline.

After discovering the bloodline of the little one, she simply used the Wind Speed ​​Transmission to send the message and then ignored it completely.

However, she later learned about the aftermath of Zheng Yuanyuan's family from a message brought back by the gyrfalcon.

Zheng Yuanyuan's mother, Qin Fei, was a commoner, while her father, Zheng Hua, was a Chinese citizen who was eventually turned into a traitor.

The couple faked their deaths for the first time so that Yu Huifang (the mother of the little girl Jiaojiao) would adopt their daughter Zheng Yuanyuan, so that they could seize her wealth in the future.

The plan fell through because the little one had a precognitive dream.

But they did not give up. By "they," I don't mean Qin Fei and her husband, but rather the rest of their group.

They re-selected someone who was close to Huifang.

After interrogating Qin Fei, the Bureau of Otherworld sent people to protect Yu Huifang and her daughter, while explaining their purpose.

Yu Huifang was terrified but also grateful to the Bureau of Otherworldly Affairs, so she voluntarily donated a large amount of her property.

After faking their deaths, Qin Fei and her husband left their country for a period of time.

Their purpose in leaving was to change their faces; they replaced their faces with the faces of the people they were now using as their identities.

After committing murder, he took the blame.

After reading the letter, Yun Li remained calm. After all, she had seen too many people with swapped faces, so it wasn't surprising to her.

Little did she know that Mu Qian and the others were utterly horrified when they learned about the face-swapping technology.

There are concerns that others may be replaced, especially high-ranking officials.

All members of the Otherworld Bureau were recalled to secretly investigate whether any high-ranking officials had undergone drastic personality changes or whose words and actions were inconsistent.

……

The actions of the Otherworld Bureau are classified. Mu Qian did not tell Yun Li, nor was there any need to. Yun Li probably had no interest in knowing anyway.

Yun Li followed the guidance of the blood droplets every day, and over the next three months, she discovered a total of forty-seven people with the Little Days bloodline.

No blood vessels were found in Jiazigou.

Because she discovered so quickly and in such a large number of things, Guang Muqian and the other two were simply too busy to keep up.

Later, Huang Gui and Wu Jiu's team also joined the effort to clean up the bloodline of the little people that Yun Li had discovered.

Two other special forces teams also joined the operation.

Suddenly, everyone in the country, whose lives were yet to be discovered, was on edge.

Some people inquired about how they discovered these hidden, everyday bloodlines.

As a result, all those who inquired were detained, and a group of traitors who had been turned were subsequently discovered.

Immediately, a sense of unease and panic spread everywhere.

People of all statuses were extremely cautious and dared not do anything.

Yun Li was unaware that his intervention had caused some of those who were usually arrogant and domineering to shrink back.

At this point, she had entered a large mountain.

Looking at the dense jungle, the strange rocks and peaks, the magnificent waterfall, and the people in the cave behind the waterfall, a smile curved his lips.

After three months, we finally found a bloodline in Jiazigou.

Tian Xia grew up in Beijing and worked at a department store counter. She was also recruited by spies.

She was a member of the Jiazigou bloodline who was switched at birth, and the old man in the family she was switched with was a military leader, which was the reason she was recruited.

Of course, the reason she was so easily turned was because she already knew she wasn't a child of this family.

He felt no remorse whatsoever for betraying his family.

After being turned, she only helped with one thing: poisoning her nominal grandfather.

The old man was poisoned to death five years ago.

After that, she received no further assignments or benefits.

She wanted to confront the person who had turned her against her, but the person who had initially recruited her had vanished without a trace.

Having suffered such a huge loss, and not being able to tell anyone, left me feeling very resentful, which led to a somewhat gloomy personality.

After seeing in the newspaper that the switched Jiazigou bloodline had also been shattered, he fled in fear.

However, she did not flee blindly, but went to a place that was relatively familiar to her.

Skull Peak Mountain.

When she was in school, she had a good friend who lived here and had visited once.

I was captivated by this mountain at that time.

Her friend also told her that when she was a child, if she went into the mountains and didn't have time to go home, she would stay in a cave.

There are many strange caves in these mountains. As a child who grew up in the city, I was quite curious about these things, so I asked her to describe the location of the caves and the environment inside in detail.

She not only memorized it, but also drew a simple location map on paper after returning home.

She never imagined that the simple map she drew out of curiosity would become her "final" refuge.

The environment inside the cave was harsh and very damp, and the furnishings were simple, even more so than the home of the mother and daughter that had once been in the cave.

However, none of this mattered to Tian Xia. As long as she could live, she was not afraid of hardship.

She will be free once the murderer is caught.

They collected some water from the waterfall using a pot, lit a fire, and placed the pot of water on it.

Then I chopped up a piece of wild boar meat and put it in, then I peeled and chopped a sweet potato and put it in the pot, and finally I added a handful of rice.

After doing all this, she didn't just wait for the food in the pot to cook; she picked up a machete and began whittling the bamboo she had cut from the mountains.

Each bamboo stalk was sharpened to a point.

More than thirty shaved bamboo stalks were already placed next to it.

These bamboos are used for self-defense, firstly to protect against wild animals, and secondly to protect against assassins who can break bones.

Actually, she was somewhat looking forward to the arrival of the Bone Crusher. She used to be afraid because she was lazy and felt that she had no chance of winning a fight.

After living in the mountains for a year, her physical condition improved, and she even fought with wild boars in order to get meat.

Although it was a small wild boar.

Defeating the wild boar gave her a great sense of accomplishment, and her confidence soared.

She became even more confident after learning that the bone-crushing killer was a dwarf child.

The water in the pot boiled, and Tian Xia stopped whittling the bamboo. She went over, lifted the lid, scooped it up a few times with a spatula, and even smelled it, looking completely absorbed.

He then sat back down and continued whittling bamboo.

Little did she know, she was destined never to eat this pot of food.

Caught off guard, Tian Xia caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye. She looked up and, without a second's hesitation, grabbed the machete in her hand and slashed at it.

Yun Li wore a mocking smile, her lowered fingers twitching slightly, a wisp of purple lightning coiling around the woodcutter's knife and then around her arm.

Tian Xia winced in pain, dropped the wood-chopping knife, and stared incredulously at the little figure before her.

No one had ever said that she could also generate electricity.

"What exactly are you?"

Yun Li didn't answer her, and moved closer to her step by step.

Tian Xia retreated step by step.

As I backed away, I stepped on a piece of shaved bamboo.

As the little figure closed in, her breathing became rapid. Just as Yun Li was about to reach her, she quickly squatted down, grabbed a bamboo stick, and stabbed the pointed end into Yun Li's eyes.

Yun Li calmly turned her head, stretched out a hand to grab the bamboo, and with a little force, the bamboo slipped from Tian Xia's hand.

Before she could react, something flew at her, followed by a sharp pain in her eyes. She stumbled back several steps and let out a miserable scream.

"what……"

"My eyes!"

She covered her injured eye with one hand, while glaring at Yun Li with hatred in her other eye.

Yun Li ignored her gaze and continued to approach her. Having her eyes pierced was a devastating blow for Tian Xia.

At this moment, she was no longer afraid and reached out to grab Yun Li. Yun Li did not dodge and was lifted up by her shoulders.

Just as she was about to be thrown out, Yun Li reached out and pulled the bamboo stick out of her eye.

Tian Xia let out a scream, and after throwing Yun Li away, she was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up and collapsed to the ground.

The cave floor was all rocks, and the back of his head hit the ground hard the moment he fell.

Coupled with the pain in her eyes, she felt her brain become very heavy, and then she lost consciousness.

Yun Li got up from the ground, took out a handkerchief and covered her nose and mouth for a few seconds.

With the sledgehammer in hand, the bone-crushing begins.

With a single blow, Tian Xia was jolted awake by the pain and let out a piercing scream.

"Ahhh... Waaah..."

She tried to run, but found she couldn't move at all. When she saw her small hands lifting such a big hammer, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"don't want……"

"Aaaaaah..."

Another hammer fell.

"Please, just give me a quick death." She instinctively bit her tongue, only to find that she had no strength left.

The hammer is raised again. How desperate!

Extreme pain leads to numbness, but how could Yun Li make her feel so comfortable? When she couldn't hear any screams, he would give her needles, keeping her constantly aware of the pain.

"You devil...you're a devil..."

"Waaaaah..."

"Who...are you! Why...why are you treating...us like this!"

Yun Li ignored her questions and, like a machine, repeatedly raised and lowered the hammer.

Blood and bone fragments splattered on her face, but her expression remained unchanged.

The cave was filled with agonizing screams, while the roar of rushing water outside drowned out the chilling sounds inside.

An hour later, Yun Li calmly walked to the waterfall, washed the hammer, and put it into his spatial storage.

Then he jumped into the waterfall, rinsed off the bloodstains on his body, swam to the shore, and entered the space.
