Looking at the fragile girl on the bed, and the mother swallowed by despair, the raging anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed!
He turned around and strode up to the silent Shiori Shiomi, his eyes so cold they seemed capable of freezing a person into an ice sculpture.
"The perpetrators are clearly evil, so why should good people suffer?!"
"What exactly is the solution?"
"I thought about it all night last night, and I only came to understand one word—"
"kill!!"
Shiori Shiomi raised her eyes and met his cold, icy gaze.
An invisible pressure was emanating from the other party, even subtly beginning to overwhelm her.
She had already learned from the few words Tsukimi Haruka uttered before she fell into a coma that Kitano Gawa had secretly returned to Tokyo ahead of time.
She looked at Yuan Qing for a long time, and finally said only one sentence:
"It is essential to leave no trace."
Yuan Qing didn't say another word and turned to leave.
......
Night had fallen, and the city lights were just coming on.
Inside a top-tier members-only rooftop bar in the port area.
Kitano sat in the innermost set of spacious sofa booths, surrounded by several equally well-dressed men and women.
He sat with his legs crossed, relaxed, elegantly swirling a glass of amber-colored whiskey in his hand.
He was listening to the flattery of a middle-aged man next to him, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Alright, Mr. Dojima, I'm not interested in your suggestion. I'm only going back to Tokyo this time to accompany Lord Hase on a trip and relax."
So please go back now, and may you be well. Amen.
As he spoke, Kitano made the sign of the cross, just like the Christian believers.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man turned pale and could only leave with a forced smile, fearing that if he said another word, this young master would kick him away like a ball.
After a while, Kitano River seemed to grow tired of the noise around him.
He waved his hand, signaling the others to continue, then stood up, straightened his suit, and walked towards the restroom.
The bathroom was softly lit, paved with marble, and filled with a subtle fragrance.
Kitano walked to the washbasin, turned on the tap, and slowly washed her hands.
Just then, the door to the innermost cubicle slid open silently, and Yuan Qing emerged from the shadows.
Kitano paused for a moment.
Through the smooth mirror, he saw the unfamiliar young man behind him.
Almost at the same time, he clearly sensed the undisguised magical fluctuations emanating from the other party, which seemed to be challenging him.
Awakener?
Kitano's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, but quickly relaxed, and his face regained its usual disdainful composure.
"You've come to the wrong place. This isn't a place for you."
Kitano didn't turn around. He turned off the tap, took out a tissue, and carefully wiped his fingers.
Through the reflection in the mirror, his sharp gaze pierced Yuan Qing: "Or are you here specifically to kill me? Then give me your name first."
Many people want to kill me. I'm used to erecting a monument for them, so we'll know where they came from, so they dared to overestimate themselves and cause me trouble in real life.
Yuan Qing revealed a calm smile and casually tossed a canvas bag he had been carrying onto the ground.
The bag was loosened, and a brand-new, gleaming bowling ball rolled out, making a dull thud in the quiet bathroom, eventually coming to rest at Kitano River's feet.
Kitano looked down at the bowling ball, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Then you should say hello to it too."
Yuan Qing said with a smile.
"After all, this is where you'll be staying later."
The moment the words fell, something strange happened!
A surging, oppressive force, like a raging torrent, spread out from Yuan Qing's center!
The air was sucked out, and the light shattered like fragile glass!
Before Kitano could even react, the luxurious restroom he was in, along with the noise of the entire bar, was completely enveloped by an absolute silence!
There is no sky, no earth, only an endless void!
Swords hung high overhead, and countless enormous, rusty bronze chains writhed and intertwined in the void like living things, emitting a sickening metallic scraping sound.
Kitano's composure and amusement froze instantly.
He felt as if he had been pulled into a space that did not exist in reality, and the ground beneath his feet lost its solidity, as if he were standing on water.
All his connections with the outside world, whether it be sound, light, or the magical senses he relied on, were completely severed!
"A domain? This, could this be a domain?!"
"Impossible, this is impossible! You're just an A-level like me, how could you possibly have a domain!?"
Kitano River roared wildly, his voice distorted with fear.
He immediately used his invisibility ability, attempting to hide himself using his best skill: stealth.
But at the end of the light and shadow, Yuan Qing's figure always followed closely behind, his dark golden eyes hidden in the void like the gaze of a prison warden, firmly locking onto his trail!
In the blink of an eye, the blade that symbolized death was already at his face!
"No! Let me out! You can't kill me! I'm Kitano Gawa, and my older brother is Hase Hideji. Do you know who's backing us?! It's Black Guardian—"
"Pfft!"
After a sound of flesh tearing apart rang out, the area fell into absolute silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the domain dissipated.
The restroom has been restored to its original state, with soft lighting and quiet air.
Yuan Qing stood in front of the mirror, put the bowling ball into the canvas bag, zipped it up, glanced at the spotless bathroom, and then left.
......
......
The next morning, as dawn broke.
In front of the roller shutter door of "Qianchuan Pet Home", a simple little wooden box sits quietly.
Tsukimi Haruka's mother discovered it when she opened the shop door.
She opened the box with a puzzled look. Inside, lined with soft black velvet, lay a pale finger with an antique-style gemstone ring on it.
Beside the ring was a neatly folded note with only four bold, ink-stained characters that seemed to penetrate the paper:
His crimes have already been committed and he has been executed.
The next second, the severed finger and the ring both silently turned to dust and vanished.
Volume 1: Chapter 137 First Fall, A Redeeming Nun! I Will Bear the Consequences! 9k
Let's rewind to last night.
After the [Heavenly Punishment Realm] is released, the domain will last for 1 minute.
If you manage to kill the enemy within this one minute, you can successfully "plunder" some of their attributes and comprehensively enhance your own strength.
Kitano River belongs to an elite unit, and is an A-rank Awakened Reconnaissance + Assassination type with a level of 54.
Although in terms of sheer threat level, his aggressiveness is not as high as that of Kenichi Tsukishiro, who is also an assassin.
However, he possesses the characteristics of an investigative type. Compared with other assassins, he has more comprehensive intelligence and more flexible countermeasures, thus taking the lead over his opponents, finding weaknesses, and gaining the upper hand.
Therefore, among all the awakened ones, he was considered one of the most troublesome to deal with.
Unfortunately, he happened to run into Yuan Qing.
A single Heavenly Punishment Realm expert could render all his methods ineffective.
Explore? There's nothing to explore!
Invisibility? There's no way to hide!
The two most powerful advantages of the assassination system were directly neutralized by the opponent's single strike.
Moreover, this tactic is actually used in real life.
In reality, an A-rank can only use about 4% of their power. Under the same level, the opponent is naturally shorter than Yuan Qing.
With a bunch of negative buffs added on, even if Kitano River had extraordinary abilities, he could only be slaughtered at her mercy.
It can only be said that the Heavenly Punishment Realm is indeed a divine skill that deserves its reputation.
Its CD is also short, only about half an hour.
This cooldown will decrease as the skill level increases. In addition, the higher the level of the Heavenly Punishment Realm, the greater the benefits it brings.
For example, within the domain, it will temporarily enhance all of Yuan Qing's attributes, provide true vision, suppress the opponent's magic power, and make some of the opponent's skills completely ineffective, etc.
Yuan Qing felt like he was just missing a steel wall, and he could just stand there with a big iron hammer.
Destiny! Domination! Deception!
When the Reincarnation Abyss is activated, the five A-level combo details will be interspersed with basic attacks. The left hammer deals high damage, the right hammer deals high damage, and each skill will grant twenty buffs, including increased damage, healing, a fake shield, and dual resistances. The Highland Bloodline will also provide a significant speed boost.
The most crucial detail is that the area must be placed while the opponent is still alive; the most difficult part is holding back laughter.
If someone can't even laugh, they could be diagnosed with Yu Yu syndrome.
After all, you'd be all smiles if TheShy were in charge.
The only downside is that enemies who die within the Heavenly Punishment Realm cannot be transformed into undead minions.
That realm seems to have an "exile" effect on the soul, and is quite unstable.
Fortunately, the ability to refine the dead still works.
So, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Yuanqing refined Kitanogawa's cold spirit into warm dog food and fed it to Yegrit.
This time, Jagritte didn't level up several levels at once like before; she only leveled up twice.
After all, she is now an A-level elite royal guard, and the experience required for her to level up must be just as enormous as his.
After defeating Kitanogawa, Gensei successfully gained 170 million experience points, which was just enough to level him up to level 52, the same level as Jagrit.
In addition to the 30 King Qualification points gained from defeating elite enemies, the kill reward in the Heavenly Punishment Realm also adds 500 maximum health points and 30 King Qualification points to Yuan Qing's maximum health.
In other words, by killing this A-level opponent, Yuan Qing gained a total of 60 King Quality points, roughly equivalent to the total amount gained from leveling up 6 times.
The attributes gained from leveling up are not much to begin with; the main benefit comes from the breakthrough stage, which provides a significant boost.
Moreover, I've already reached level 50 and unlocked quite a few new features.
Although the system didn't give any advance notice, at this point, Yuan Qing was basically certain that there would be more hidden features that would be unlocked as his level increased.
Let me see, system, where your limits are!
......
The lunar etch has arrived.
Yuan Qing arrived at the Tarot Association carrying a canvas bag containing bowling balls.
The moon's etched, deep blue light enveloped the Tarot Association's castle, casting a cold and somber hue over the ancient stone walls.
Yuan Qing stepped through the empty front courtyard and into the main hall.
The lobby was quieter than usual, with only the occasional crackling of the fire in the fireplace.
The flickering firelight illuminated two figures sitting on a bench.
The person on the left is Nakado Go, whose hair is as messy as a bird's nest and who is wearing a wrinkled gray suit.
