I manage female characters in all the heavens.

boom!

The ground trembled slightly, and the bald, burly man was pressed down into a starfish position, his face pressed tightly against the muddy ground.

His bones creaked and groaned, and he couldn't even scream; only a few muffled groans escaped his throat.

Maido's eyes lit up, thinking to herself how cool Boss Bai's move was, and how she wished she could awaken a similar ability in the future.

Unfortunately, her abilities were predetermined: she could communicate with animals and also possess a certain degree of physical enhancement.

Everyone's potential is fixed, and it seems there is only one. What ability Wulan Maiduo awakened in the original series will not change if "Maido" is replaced, since it is a power brought by genes and has nothing to do with the soul.

Bai Yuekui raised his eyes expressionlessly, his gaze shifting to Jiu Ge, who was restrained by another force field, and was about to speak—

Beep beep!

Suddenly, the communicator on Qiu Shi's wrist emitted a rapid alarm.

Her expression changed instantly. She quickly answered the call, and a few seconds later, her pupils constricted sharply: "Boss Bai! The team we sent to investigate the signal source has been attacked!"

"The enemy has skilled fighters and is equipped with heavy firepower. They are being suppressed and won't be able to hold out for long!"

Boss Bai's eyes turned completely cold, and a low-pressure atmosphere emanated from his entire body.

She stomped her foot, and the hardened ground beneath her feet seemed to be struck by a giant hammer, with a spiderweb-like crack emanating outwards from the point where she landed!

Propelled by the reaction force, her body shattered the air like a cannonball, leaving a white shockwave in its wake amidst a deafening sonic boom, before disappearing into the horizon in an instant!

Clearly, Boss Bai was angry and decided to personally deal with the enemy, disregarding the fact that his high-intensity use of his abilities would further exacerbate his cell depletion.

Although she is quite old, she still has the same fiery temper as when she was young.

The sonic boom made "Maido's" eardrums buzz, and the strong wind blew her hair back.

She squinted at the direction where Bai Yuekui disappeared, and thought to herself: Goodness, he can respond to emergencies at supersonic speed without warning. His force field ability is so damn cool!

Of course, it's very strong!

After Bai Yuekui left, the atmosphere on the playground became even more tense.

Ulan Aodeng withdrew his gaze from the sky, suppressing all his anger and worry, and turned to the bald, burly man pinned to the ground, his eyes revealing a ruthless intent to devour him.

The subsequent interrogation proceeded quickly.

The bald, burly man was just a low-level lackey. His willpower had been crushed by Bai Yuekui's overwhelming suppression, and facing the enraged Ulan Aodeng, he didn't last long before he collapsed.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! I do have accomplices. This time, I infiltrated Dragonbone Village with others to provide location information for our accomplices outside, making it easier for them to send reconnaissance personnel over later!"

"As for what specific probes they were, how they conducted the probes, and how they transmitted the messages, I really don't know. I was just a low-level operative!"

Ulan Aodeng stared at him expressionlessly, a gaze that sent chills down the bald, burly man's spine, making him regret ever coming to this damned village.

Chapter 198 Splitting Mountains and Shattering Peaks to Tear Apart the Conspiracy

Such intelligence was certainly not satisfactory to the people of Dragon Bone Village, and Ulan Aodeng planned to continue the interrogation and use torture to extract a confession.

At this point, from some of the words shouted by Ulan Aodeng during his interrogation of the bald man, it was learned that Ulan Haisang, the brother of "Maido," had taken the initiative to stand up after a complex internal struggle because of the wine song that had caused the incident.

Her voice was soft, even a little hoarse, but it reached everyone present clearly: "Let him go. He is indeed just a pawn, and his knowledge is limited. I know more about the outside world than he does."

"What you want to know, I will tell you."

All eyes were on her.

"Maido" raised an eyebrow, and Ulanchagai on her shoulder tilted his head.

Jiuge's face was expressionless, but her clenched fist trembled slightly, as if she were making a decision that had exhausted all her courage.

She took a deep breath and spoke in a detached, emotionless tone:

"We are the Aurora Society, which is divided into two parts: the outer and the inner. The outer society is the group that was defeated when they invaded Dragonbone Village. Most of them don't even know that the inner society exists."

She paused, "And the reason I knew about the inner workings was because—"

She raised her head and met Ulan Aodeng's gaze: "I am the daughter of the leader of the Inner Council."

A low commotion arose on the playground.

Ignoring the stares, Jiu Ge continued, "Our previous invasion of Dragonbone Village wasn't actually about seizing territory and resources. It was about sending people in to secretly gather information and periodically handing it over to the mental entities created by the internal ability users so that we could take over Dragonbone Village in one fell swoop later."

"The bald guy is indeed just a small fry. His only role is to provide location information for the spiritual entity, while I am the one responsible for gathering intelligence."

Faced with the villagers' growing anger, Jiu Ge continued his explanation without stopping.

"There are eight people in the inner council, three of whom are ability users." She spoke calmly, as if reporting something unrelated to herself.

"The first one is the leader of the Aurora Society, my father Jiu Feng. His ability is extreme physical enhancement. Combined with his superb swordsmanship, his destructive power is terrifying."

"The second one is a man named Simon. His ability is telekinetic cannon. He can use telekinesis to condense cannonballs and fire them. The destructive power is amazing, and he has the ultimate offensive capability."

"The third one is a psychic, named Evelysa."

When he mentioned this name, Jiu Ge paused slightly:

"She lost her physical body in an accident a few years ago and had no choice but to transform herself into a quantum spiritual state to survive. Now she is attached to my father's body and he... can be said to be inseparable from her."

"The spiritual entity that transmits intelligence, the one that is now integrated into Ulan Haisang, is a split off from her."

"The remaining five people, although not ability users, are all elite experts. However, with their equipment and exquisite skills, their lethality may not be inferior to that of ability users."

At this point, Jiu Ge looked up at everyone and reminded them, "Now that you have discovered the problem with Ulan Haisang, the spiritual entity that Evelissa split off from must have already sent the information back to the inner council."

"In this situation, the Inner Guild did not choose to retreat, but instead attacked the Awakened Walker squad in Dragonbone Village. They must have laid a trap there to try and ambush reinforcements,"

Her expression turned serious, and her tone even carried a hint of urgent sincerity: "Boss Bai is powerful, but it's still a matter of life and death for one person to go into a trap set by eight people."

"If you don't want your boss to die out there, you'd better send someone to rescue her right away."

After he finished speaking, the playground fell silent for a moment.

Everyone could tell that her reminder was indeed well-intentioned. Perhaps she had been influenced by her life in Dragonbone Village for more than a month, or perhaps she had not had a good time in the Aurora Society as the daughter of the leader, which led her to choose to betray the Aurora Society now.

But without a doubt, her reminder was unnecessary; Bai Yuekui was never someone who needed to worry about insufficient intelligence or combat power.

Just then, the earth shook. Qiu Shi turned on the monitor and projected the image into the air.

The image was taken from the top of a shielding tower, showing a desolate hilly area about tens of kilometers away from Longgu Village.

In the center of the surveillance footage, a gray mountain about 100 meters high was slowly sliding down an incredibly smooth diagonal line.

A rumbling sound—even the sound was transmitted back through the remote sensor, deep and long.

The mountain was sliced ​​diagonally across its waist by some invisible, extremely sharp force, the fracture surface as smooth as a mirror.

Half of the mountain was slowly sliding down the smooth cut, collapsing amidst the billowing dust, with a deafening roar.

The next moment, Bai Yuekui's figure appeared on the screen.

Wearing her signature fur coat, she stood proudly atop another hill, followed by the Awakened Walker team she had rescued.

With her right hand, she slowly sheathed a long, narrow sword with a faint blue glow at her waist, while with her left hand she held a human head.

The head's face was cold and hard, with high cheekbones and a trace of frozen ferocity remaining at the corner of its mouth. Its eyes were wide open, as if it could not believe that it had been so easily cut off even in death.

Jiuge's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints.

Her breath stopped completely at that moment, and she stood frozen in place as if struck by a silent thunderbolt.

She recognized the head; it was her father's.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

The name that had weighed on her head for over a decade, the name she both hated and feared, the name that had haunted her countless nightmares, the name of her father whose life she had to rely on—was seemingly twisted off by that woman in the wool coat, as casually as if she were picking a melon.

As she watched Bai Yuekui calmly sheath his knife, lift the severed head, and turn to leave in the surveillance footage, she suddenly realized that her earlier statement, "Even if Boss Bai is incredibly powerful, he still faces a near-death experience," was a huge joke.

From the moment Bai Yuekui set off from here until she took off her father's head, were three minutes elapsed?

It seems they spent all their time traveling, and once they arrived, they could finish the fight with a single strike!

Jiu Ge stared blankly at the footage on the monitor, even forgetting to breathe for a moment.

Whether it was Bai Yuekui's immense power to split mountains and shatter peaks, or her father's death, she was unable to recover for a long time.

Not long after, Bai Yuekui returned to Dragon Bone Village with his men.

She ordered people to hang Jiu Feng's head at the entrance of Longgu Village to warn those who came after him to act according to their abilities.

After learning about the confessions of both Baldy and Jiuge, Bai Yuekui made his judgment: execute Baldy and accept Jiuge.

Baldy confessed under torture, while Jiu Ge confessed voluntarily. Moreover, if Boss Bai hadn't personally intervened and overturned the table this time, the information she provided would have been very valuable.

This verdict was not unexpected for "Maido". After all, five years later in the original series, Jiuge was the number one wet nurse in Longgu Village, so it would be strange if she died here.

However, something unexpected happened: Wulan Haisang's situation did not improve after Jiu Feng's death.

After a check-up in the summer, they came up with a very bad conclusion.

"Perhaps because the vessel of that psychic was killed, causing it to lose its original support, it all transferred to Xiao Hai, becoming closely entangled and inseparable from him."

"If this continues, it won't be long before Hai Sang's spirit is assimilated and devoured, and he will completely become another person, which is equivalent to being dead."

Summer arrived, his brow furrowed, and he shook his head with a sigh: "Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

The three consecutive difficult words made Ulan Aodeng's face turn pale.

Qiu Shi slapped Xia Tian and said irritably, "Say something useful. Since you said it's difficult, not that you're powerless, it means you still have a way."

"Hurry up and confess! Can't you see Ao Deng is about to cry?!"

"There is a way, but it's really too difficult..." Xia Tian rubbed his temples.

"Given the current situation, we have no way to separate Xiaohai and that spiritual entity from the outside; we can only work from the inside."

Qiu Shi's expression changed: "You mean..."

Xia Tian nodded: "That's right, it's connected to the brain!"

"The reason why that spiritual entity was able to be so closely bound to Xiao Hai is twofold: firstly, Xiao Hai actively accepted her on a spiritual level, and secondly, she herself was also trying her best to entangle Xiao Hai to prevent being separated and destroyed by us."

"If someone could connect with Xiaohai's mind, enter his mental world and awaken him, making him reject that mental entity, the resulting gap would be enough for me to use technology to separate them and resolve the problem."

"If we really can't wake Xiao Hai up, we can also solve the problem by defeating or even killing that spiritual entity in his mental world, forcing its spirit to perish."

Then, summer came and sighed again:

"However, it is extremely difficult to awaken a person who is bewitched by love, especially when there is also a spiritual entity causing trouble; and it is even more difficult to defeat the spiritual entity when the other party has already gained the upper hand in the mental world."
