I write obituaries for the gods

Lord Yan rolled his eyes, and as his brain was destroyed, his body convulsed violently.

"Goodbye."

Lin Chen twisted the axe handle, and with the activation of "Godslayer Mode," a boiling, eerie blue light exploded instantly—

"boom!!!!"

A stream of dark blue light burst forth from Lord Yan's body, followed by brownish mud. He convulsed and collapsed to the ground, his body, constructed of earth, shattering into pieces.

"Zizzizi..."

Lin Chen jumped off the ground and looked down at the demigod: one after another, dark blue bubbles were rapidly spraying out from his internal organs.

he died.

......

Chapter Twenty-Four: Martial Arts Obsessed

Jiang Zhengge quickly walked to Lin Chen's side and looked down at the corpse of Prince Yan with him.

"Well done," Jiang Zhengge breathed a sigh of relief, "You've gotten stronger again."

"I'm all grown up now, I have to take charge of the household." Lin Chen chuckled.

Jiang Zhengge patted Lin Chen's shoulder forcefully, looking at him with satisfaction.

"It seems you've done a good job leading the first department. Is Hua Molan alright?"

"It's alright, she's at the base," Lin Chen said.

"That's good," Jiang Zhengge nodded, then looked at Lin Chen, "The mask is nice, it's sci-fi horror style, very intimidating."

"Is it really that scary..." Lin Chen scratched his head.

"Old Jiang!"

Li Zhanyi ran quickly over from a distance, looking at Jiang Zhengge with a wronged expression.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhengge chuckled, reaching out to ruffle Li Zhanyi's hair. "Did you miss me that much?"

"How can I not worry..." Li Zhanyi muttered softly, "It's been months..."

“Such a sentimental little Zhanyi,” Lucy chuckled to herself, “Don’t worry, we’re all fine.”

"Lucy will definitely be fine. Lucy always seems to handle everything with such ease..."

"This... what about me?" Jiang Zhengge scratched his head. "Am I some kind of old codger who needs to be worried about?"

"You're such a worry!" Li Zhanyi puffed out her cheeks.

Everyone laughed, and Lin Chen suddenly felt that he hadn't been immersed in such a joyful atmosphere for a long time.

He handed the pre-prepared headset to Jiang Zhengge, who had just put it in his ear when he heard Hua Molan's nagging:

"Jiang Zhengge, how did you manage to be tricked by Ideal Country? Didn't I warn you beforehand?"

"You got tricked by Louis, didn't I warn you beforehand?" Jiang Zhengge muttered. "Alright, you can scold me later, let's deal with the situation first."

Everyone looked toward the elevator at the end of the hall: thanks to Lord Yan's destruction, the elevator was almost completely wrecked and didn't look like it could be used.

"Are we going to climb fifty floors?" Li Zhanyi whispered.

“No need,” Lin Chen shook his head. “I can open a portal and bring us all up with me.”

"That would be too taxing..." Li Zhanyi muttered.

"Wang Pan, what's the status of Louis's defenses?" Jiang Zhengge asked Wang Pan.

“I tried my best to turn some people to the side and stop them from resisting,” Wang Pan said. “But the biggest problem is still the two demigods next to Louis.”

Just then, a familiar voice came from the direction of the stairwell:

"The Storm and the Shadowless Sword, those two things are tough to deal with."

Lin Chen turned his head and saw the bronze mask leading Professor Isabel and Black Widow running quickly towards them, followed by a group of logistics personnel.

"Godfather! Long time no see!" The bronze mask waved his hand. "I've withdrawn the logistics department!"

"Well done." Lin Chen nodded.

A figure darted past Lin Chen, and there was the embroidery needle, rushing forward and twisting the bronze mask's ear hard.

"You son of a bitch! Not a single word! Not a single clue!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Needle Baby, you can't treat me like this! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Seeing the bronze mask being bullied, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What's the relationship between these two?" Lin Chen asked Black Widow.

“Childhood sweethearts, Masked Guy has been bullied since he was a kid,” Black Widow said with a mischievous smile. “This idiot is always so irresponsible, only Needle Sister can handle him.”

"Everything has its counter," Lin Chen sighed.

He turned his head and saw Professor Isabel embracing Lucy, the two exchanging pleasantries.

Even if they don't get along normally, at times like this, everyone understands just how precious those ordinary days really are.

"Are those two demigods both Beta-level?" Lin Chen asked the bronze mask that he had finally managed to free from the embroidery needle's grasp.

“That’s right, they were all private security personnel before,” the bronze mask said, rubbing his ears. “One of them could command the wind and rain, and the other’s blade was so fast it was invisible to the naked eye. Both were Beta-level.”

“We also have to count Louis,” Lin Chen said. “With the power of Bai Duozhi, he can manipulate other people’s minds.”

"No rush, we have plenty of time," came Hualu Ri's lazy voice. "The Liberation Front has taken over the surrounding streets, and the anti-aircraft guns are firmly set up. No one can escape... Oh, by the way, my daughter will be here soon!"

At that moment, the roar of fighter jet engines could be heard from outside the hall.

With a flash of grayish-white light, Hua Molan passed through subspace and entered the hall, followed by a group of armed soldiers.

"Long time no see," Jiang Zhengge nodded upon seeing Hua Molan. "Such a grand entrance?"

"The old captain gave me a ride in his plane," Hua Molan said, turning to look at Wang Pan. "It seems our comrades are still conscious of their mission?"

"The situation is complicated and difficult to judge, Director." Wang Pan lowered his head.

"This isn't your fault; I was tricked too."

Hua Molan sighed, then turned to look at Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, go and release the First Armed Division, just to be on the safe side."

"Ah."

Lin Chen looked around and began to distribute the items:

“Needle, you and Bronze Mask take the guerrillas and evacuate the entire logistics department. Lucy, come along too. Assuming the Foundation sends reinforcements, we'll need some skilled personnel on the way.”

“Okay,” Lucy nodded, pulling Professor Isabel’s arm. “Sis, let’s go!”

"Lin Chen, you've become so handsome!" Isabel waved rapidly at Lin Chen as she was being dragged away. "Nice mask! Sci-fi horror style!"

"..."

Lin Chen sighed silently and turned to look at Wang Pan:

"Can you help us guard the lobby? We need to go to the W weapon control center next."

"Leave it to me," Wang Pan nodded.

"Old Jiang, let's go, let's go underground," Lin Chen said, looking at Jiang Zhengge. "Old Jiang?"

He noticed that Jiang Zhengge's eyes were somewhat dazed.

"what happened?"

“It’s alright,” Jiang Zhengge shook his head. “Let’s go underground.”

Just now, watching Lin Chen calmly give instructions, Jiang Zhengge suddenly felt that the boy in front of him had grown up.

I hadn't seen him for a few months, and he had already become an outstanding leader.

Perhaps, as tide Leina said, it really is time for the old folks to retire early.

Jiang Zhengge chuckled self-deprecatingly and waved to Lin Chen:

"Let's go underground."

......

Looking at the footage on the monitor screen, Louis finally couldn't sit still any longer.

“What a brilliant inside-outside collaboration,” he muttered. “Looks like they’ve really come prepared tonight…”

"Clap."

The door to the director's office opened, and Storm strode in.

"All forces have been concentrated, starting from the 45th floor and moving here. Our defenses have never been so tight," Storm said.

“What about the brothers at Pearl Beach?” Louis asked.

“They’ll have a hard time getting here to support us; the Liberation Front and the guerrillas have very dense anti-aircraft defenses,” Storm shook his head. “But don’t worry, none of them will have a chance to get here by air either. I’m capable of stopping them…”

"Ah."

Louis sat down behind his desk and let out a deep breath.

To be honest, he had long guessed that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Lin Chen is too fast; he's always one step ahead of him.

For some reason, he recalled the days when he was still a technician in the department.

Despite being Lin Chen's junior, Lin Chen rose rapidly after joining the company and quickly became the center of everyone's attention.

After becoming the bureau chief, he thought he had finally reached the center of power, but fortunes change...

But after those few short months, when Louis finally reached the top of the Bureau of Investigation and was able to glimpse the celestial palace, he realized...

I am nothing more than a pawn.

He couldn't change Yudu with the power he held, and he couldn't even change the Investigation Bureau.

But just as he was preparing to take a step higher, when Iron Face died, and he finally saw another chance to break the deadlock...

Lin Chen came again, like a ghost.

"You just won't let me go, will you...?"

Louis let out a deep breath and turned to look at the torrential rain outside the window.

“Then let’s fight to the death,” Louis said in a low voice. “Anyone who stands in my way will be eliminated.”

......

The road back to B4 was not easy. After Lord Rock blocked the door, many prisoners quickly rolled back to the prison, but some stubborn prisoners searched around the underground floors, taking weapons from the guards in an attempt to regroup.

When they saw Lin Chen and his group fully armed, their first thought was not to give way, but to "take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."

After a chaotic battle, Lin Chen and his group passed through the layers of defenses formed by the prisoners almost unscathed.

“Tonight is going to be very unsettling,” Lin Chen said as he loaded his shotgun. “I never imagined that the Bureau of Investigation would one day become a battlefield like this.”

Looking at the horrific scene in the corridor, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh softly.

“That’s how it is in chaotic times, human life is as worthless as grass,” Jiang Zhengge said in a low voice. “Even if they were criminals, they shouldn’t have died here. After all, their crimes didn’t warrant death, but tonight they all died.”

Lin Chen looked at the prisoner's corpse in the corner: he looked very young, but his face was filled with the madness that only a desperado could have. Blood gushed from his chest, splattering on the wall like red spider lilies.

“Let’s go,” Lin Chen said. “It’s time to call our strongest helpers.”

Jiang Zhengge nodded, and then led the group into the W weapon control center.

As soon as Lin Chen entered, he saw Marcus guarding the place.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Marcus and Lin Chen shook hands and leaned slightly against each other's shoulders.

"Thank you for letting us off the hook on the road earlier, senior." Lin Chen smiled.

“See? My investment acumen is pretty accurate, isn’t it?” Marcus nodded.

"Louis must have given you a lot of trouble, right?" Lin Chen examined the injuries on Marcus's face.

“Don’t even mention it, that guy’s been consumed by himself,” Marcus shrugged. “He just truly hates you and everything about you.”
