Necromancer's Second-Original Chat Group

The footsteps drew closer, and Marcus began to struggle in terror. But with her strength and ability, how could she possibly break free of these steel handcuffs, especially after learning such a terrible secret? The other party would rather kill her to silence her than let her see the light of day again.

At that moment, Marcus was truly in despair.

Ms. Hoffman, please help me!

bang bang

Three gunshots rang out suddenly outside, followed by the door being kicked open. Standing before Marcus was none other than Hoffman.

"Marcus!"

Wan Qi, who was following behind her, casually broke the handcuffs and shackles binding Marcus, and Hoffman immediately hugged Marcus in her arms.

The ups and downs of life are so intense that Marcus was staring blankly at the ceiling, completely unable to process how the reality before him and his previous situation had suddenly taken a 180-degree turn.

"Marcus, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Does anything hurt?"

"Ms. Hoffman, waa ...

Marcus burst into tears in Ms. Hoffman's arms; for her, those few minutes had felt like a rollercoaster of emotions.

Hoffman held Marcus tightly, repeatedly telling her, "It's okay, it's all over, you're safe now."

Meanwhile, Vanchi, Semmelweis, Northern Whistle, and Cooper Garland are inspecting this enormous dungeon.

It was incredibly large, with five underground levels. Wan Qi spread his mental energy outwards and conducted a thorough search, discovering a total of 721 cells, 15 storerooms, and numerous external passageways connecting the nearby palace, cemetery, wealthy area, and slum. Two of these passageways led towards the Reshaping Hand's stronghold.

At this moment, there are people in the 419 cells of this huge underground prison. The average age of the people imprisoned inside is no more than 20 years old, and the youngest is only eight years old.

There couldn't possibly be only three people on duty in such a large dungeon. There were 77 people in charge of this place. 23 of them were eliminated by Wan Qi along the way, and the remaining 54 didn't know what had happened here. The dungeon was just too big, and screams could be heard from time to time. Gunshots were nothing in the midst of the screams.

The reason for the screams was that there were 38 other guests present.

"Ah!" Cooper Garland screamed, then quickly covered her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Northern Song immediately stepped forward, and after seeing the scene before him, he immediately hugged his student and retreated from the cell.

There's something dirty! It's so filthy!

Wan Qi coldly walked to where the two had been standing and looked inside.

Layout-wise, this is a kitchen, but the food prepared here is actually two-legged sheep.

If people eat each other during times of great famine, why do people still eat each other when they are not hungry?

Semmelweis then walked over, his face pale, whether from the transformation of his mystical bloodline or from being frightened by this avant-garde "art" was unclear.

"As expected of Vienna, the capital of art, such avant-garde art." Wan Qi reached out and picked up the head from the chopping board, carefully wiping away the bloodstains, and said coldly, "It is said that there are demons and monsters at the foot of Ling Mountain. I used to think that was an exaggeration, but today it seems that art can never surpass the limits of humanity. Historically, some nobles had a hobby of bathing in blood. It is said that this can make them younger and draw life force from the blood. The earliest vampire legends originated from this."

"The foundation is so urbanized!"

Section 96: What to do? Only kill!

(Third update! 16,000 words achieved!)

Although Deep Blue's game development had many problems, Wan Qi felt it was still quite wonderful. At least the villains they depicted in the game were villains with a certain faith, whereas in reality, when people turn bad, they may not even be considered human anymore.

"Come back, soul filled with hatred!"

Necromantic Magic, Summoning of Wraiths, Possession Enhancement

In just a few breaths, countless vengeful spirits with hollow eyes and flowing blood and tears surrounded Wan Qi.

Resentment, revenge, despair, and sorrow—these are the perfect breeding grounds for vengeful spirits. However, orthodox necromancers do not cultivate vengeful spirits; at most, they create undead creatures that resemble vengeful spirits, because the birth of a vengeful spirit is a trampling on life.

Having completed the summoning, Wan Qi said, "Go, go and complete your revenge."

The vengeful spirits dispersed instantly, and then the screams in the dungeon escalated to a new level.

At the same time, the people in the dungeon instantly felt that their surroundings had changed. Although they were still in the dungeon, they felt that this place had become another space, until they found that when they looked up, they would see a cold, full moon.

At this moment, Wan Qi said calmly, "My domain has sealed off this place, the entire Vienna branch."

After all, the sun was blazing outside, and these newly born vengeful spirits couldn't leave the dungeon. But with the blessing and protection of the Death Domain, they were able to carry out their revenge.

Then Semmelweis's communicator rang, and when she answered it, the voice of the Razor Squad leader came through.

"Please contact Lord Wan Qi immediately!"

“He’s right next to me,” Semmelweis said.

"Lord Wanqi, a group of ghosts has suddenly appeared. They are numerous and are slaughtering the entire Foundation branch!"

"Yes, I know. I'm the one who woke them up. In order to give them a chance for revenge, please don't stop a group of poor people from doing what they're supposed to do, okay?"

"We should investigate the dungeon now, guys, let's go!"

The Razor Squad leader on the other end of the communicator decisively led his men away.

"No! You can't leave me here! I'm the person in charge here, and a crucial witness! You can't... Ah!!!"

Karl's screams came from the other end of the communicator, heart-wrenching and like he was being slowly sliced ​​to death, but the Razor Squad clearly didn't care whether this scum lived or died, or rather, they wished he would die a horrible death.

Not long after, the leader of the Razor Squad led his men into the dungeon; there was still much to be done.

Hoffman carried Marcus out of the room. The girl's face was streaked with tears, and she was fast asleep in Hoffman's arms, looking pitiful.

"Thank you for saving Marcus."

Hoffman knew very well that if Wan Qi hadn't been there, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Wan Qi coldly pointed to the side and said, "The door is over there. Goodbye."

Hoffman nodded, and then Wanqi said to Northern Whistle and Cooper Garland, "What are you two still standing there for? You should go too."

"Read? This..."

Before Cooper's wreath could react, Northern Whistle had already led his students away, but before leaving, he whispered to Wan Qi, "Thank you for your trouble."

Immediately afterwards, the leader of the Razor Squad arrived in front of Wan Qi, but he was carrying a safe.

“I found this in Carl’s office. It was full of ledgers, lists, and photos. The rain would have rendered these things worthless, but some of the records were still very useful, since they involved important people at headquarters.”

Wan Qi nodded and said, "I accept it."

"Thank you for your help." The Razor Squad leader left the safe behind.

He can't leave yet because the people in the dungeon still need to be released. Although the "storm" will undo everything, the act of kindness itself has a huge positive significance. It can remind people of the kind of justice they are pursuing.

Even though what happened here makes the foundation's sense of justice seem like a joke.

Don't bring up the idea that headquarters has limited control over branches. As long as it carries the St. Louis Foundation's name, the blame lies with the St. Louis Foundation, not with headquarters or branches. When people talk about it, they'll only say "the St. Louis Foundation does this and that," instead of discussing the differences between branches and headquarters, or whether they can be separated.

An hour later, the cleanup was finished. The vengeful spirits were extremely brutal; no one they targeted was left intact. But even in the Vienna branch, a place rife with filth, there were still three survivors.

They are: gardener, repairman, and cleaner.

In other words, in this branch, everyone with a bit of power was corrupt and paid the price for their actions.

However, Wan Qi still managed to find the branch's personnel list and then confirmed it one by one based on the memories of the vengeful spirits. After all, just because some people were not on duty today did not mean they were clean.

Hoffman and his team found a hotel to rest for the time being, and over the next two days they kept reporting the progress of the Reshaping Hand in Vienna to headquarters, but the reports were all about "nothing happening today".

She also knows how to leave a record of her work and create her own alibi. If she and Marcus didn't have to live under the Foundation's protection, Hoffman really wouldn't mind picking up a machine gun and fighting insects with Wan Qi. But after this incident, she is reconsidering the Foundation and the Si Chen Squad.

It only takes one day to change a person, one bad enough day!

Hoffman felt heartbroken looking at Marcus, who had locked himself in his room.

Hoffman has no children and is unmarried. To her, Marcus is like a daughter. Although she, as a "mother," is often as strict as a "father," it is to help Marcus grow up quickly, become an independent investigator, and gain a place in the Foundation's headquarters.

Of course, she also believes in the foundation's ideals, and the two are not in conflict.

However, reality is more powerful than a thousand slogans; my own daughter was almost humiliated. Anyone would be furious in that situation.

Even without Wan Qi, the foundation would still have to give an explanation, but after Wan Qi came along, Hoffman realized the importance of having a powerful figure backing him.

She is a meticulous person who values ​​process and correctness in everything she does, but now she understands the behavior of the German mother who emptied the magazine in front of the criminal who killed her daughter in court.

If everything were done with procedural correctness, there would be no such thing as regime change.

Humans can change, but animals cannot. Morality and law are for humans; animals only deserve to go to the slaughterhouse!

But soon, things got out of hand at the foundation's headquarters.

The reason is not complicated. At this time, the Reinventing Hand was carrying out assassinations across Europe, eliminating members of royal families with names and identities, which in turn stimulated the world situation and triggered a "storm".

The foundation is currently locked in a power struggle with Re-Reinventing Hands, and the two sides are like two equally formidable opponents, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

But at this moment, Tyrannosaurus Rex stepped onto the scales and, under the horrified gazes of both sides, slashed at the European elites.

Unlike the assassinations of the Reconstruction Hand, Wan Qi always forced his way in and killed. When the royal family held a ball, he would simply carry a scythe and storm into the venue, find his target, and tear out his heart and soul. Accompanied by a live performance by Li/Si or Louis XVI, he would randomly scare a few onlookers to death or make them faint, and then leave triumphantly.

Even heavily guarded areas are useless; Wan Qi will deliver divine justice and show the other side what a good show it is.

These people were all found on the Vienna branch's list. They belong to this era, but beasts who can play tricks with human lives and persist in doing so cannot be ordinary people. Only royalty and high-ranking merchants are qualified to be on this list, and in most cases, they do not need to pay the price for their crimes.

In the past, there were no news reports. Even when there were news reports later, there was always a much larger volume beneath the surface. Justice always stopped at just the right time, full of human relationships and worldly wisdom.

In the original history, the vast majority of them lived to the day of their natural death and continued to rule the land after the war, colluding with their allies on the other side of the ocean.

It has always been this way, and it will always be this way in the future!

Until Wanqi's bone scythe split them in two, they all believed themselves to be the most special beings in the world, as unshakable as the rising and setting of the sun.

As for now—the law is law, and so is the art of swordsmanship.

Wan Qi's transformation into a Maximist made the Reshaping Hands team almost burst into laughter.

Although we don't know what happened, that person suddenly stood on our side. As expected, only mystics can understand the world of mystics!

Stop joking. Wan Qi will kill any members of the Reconstruction Hand who were involved, no matter what. Guess where Kamid's 666 souls and flesh sacrifices came from.

It's very simple. All you need is a high-ranking person with enough influence to act as a cover. It's good to have a big tree to shelter you from.

But the crazy guys at Reincarnation obviously didn't care about such a small matter. Sacrificing a few small fry would allow them to accomplish a great cause. This deal was incredibly profitable, and it was a necessary sacrifice!

Some members of the Reconstruction Hand even tried to reach out to Wan Qi to see if they could win him over. Unfortunately, Wan Qi was too fast and his process was too short. He killed and left without even saying goodbye. By the time the person involved saw him, the result was already decided, and Wan Qi was too lazy to waste words.

The pressure quickly shifted to Ms. Z, with Constantine personally contacting her.

"What exactly happened over there?"

Although Constantine and Vanchi's relationship wasn't irreconcilable, they could hardly talk to each other. Whenever there was something to discuss, it was always Vanchi who would contact her. However, Constantine was well aware that, given Vanchi's style of doing things, unless one stepped on his landmine, this landmine was second only to a nuclear bomb in terms of safety.

"I just contacted him, but he didn't answer."

Ms. Z pushed up her glasses. The situation was extremely urgent. Wan Qi's sudden berserk state, much like Unit-01, had rendered all of the Foundation's plans worthless. Of course, the same was true for the Reconstruction Hand, but the situation was in their favor, so even if their plans were worthless, it didn't matter. They just had to wait for the outcome.

"What about Virtue?"

“Ms. Z, this is Wilting.”

The communicator was just connected at that moment.

“Vilding, the situation is urgent. Here’s what happened… (describes the situation), so, can you contact Wanqi now?”

On the other side, after quickly processing the relevant information, Wilting calmly said, "You can contact the investigator in Vienna directly. As for the issue of the accelerated rainstorm, even without Wanqi, the rainstorm would have arrived earlier; that's a given fact. And given Wanqi's speed, he should have already killed everyone he wanted to kill by now."

Constantine and Ms. Z, on the other end of the communicator, both sighed in agreement.

Wilting continued, "Ms. Z, the vice president must know about something this big, and she will definitely come looking for you. I bet she's right here with you, isn't she, Vice President Constantine?"

“You guessed right, Veldine, I’m here,” Constantine said.

"Get ready, Vice President. This isn't over yet. When Wan Qi goes back, he'll definitely settle accounts. The foundation shouldn't make any foolish mistakes on this issue. Some people should pay the price for their actions."

"Vildin, do you know something? Has Vanci already told you?"

"No, he didn't tell me, but given Wan Qi's style of doing things, the only reasons that could make him act so drastically, besides my personal safety, are the blood of innocent people. What inhumane things has the Foundation, or rather the Vienna branch of the Foundation, done? Regardless of what methods the Foundation has used in the past, please handle this matter fairly, justly, and openly."

Constantine instinctively wanted to say something in rebuttal, but she swallowed the words back down.

"I understand. I look forward to your victorious return. Also, please be careful."

"We will. Goodbye, Vice President."

"Yes, I look forward to seeing you again, Veltin."

At the same time, numerous flying sprites and biplanes appeared in the skies across Europe, laden with freshly printed newspapers from various countries, all with the headline "The assassination of a certain important figure."

The goal of reshaping the hand has been achieved. The next step is to let the whole world know about these important events, especially Europe, the epicenter of the global storm.

When Vanzie returned to Vienna, the life of this era came to an end.

Newspapers formed "snowflakes" fell over European cities, and the headquarters of the St. Louis Foundation issued a "heavy rain" warning.
