After dinner, Huai Shi finally received a call from Hu Po.
"What took you so long?"
"I also have work to do, okay? I just met a very troublesome uncle and almost died … "Hu Po sighed tiredly on the other side of the phone." Tell me, why can't my relatives give me any peace of mind? One after another, they're all like this. It's fine if they're dead, but the living are also thinking of ways to make trouble. "
The sound of a lighter was mixed in with his words.
Hu Po took a deep breath and sighed. "The person you caught has been sent over. He's indeed from the Earthdragon Clan, and there's also evidence in his head that Shinichi Kuroshiki was involved in Zhen Xi's murder. But you went a little overboard, didn't you? That guy's head was smashed with at least a dozen cracks. Even if you're abusing a noob, isn't that a little overboard? "
"… This, it's a long story."
Huai Shi subconsciously glanced at Zhen Xi. Zhen Xi immediately sat up straight, placed her hands in front of her knees, blinked her eyes, and looked very obedient.
"So, what do you plan to do next?" Hu Po asked.
Huai Shi thought for a while, and answered seriously, "Of course I won't do anything."
"… Huai Shi."
Hu Po's tone became more and more tired. "If someone told me that you've already cut a bloody path to my third uncle with a knife, then piled up a small mountain of heads, tied him up, poured gasoline on top and planned to burn him, I would believe it. But I won't believe that a bastard like you won't do anything.
At least we're in an employer-employee relationship, can't you be a little more honest? "
"You're so annoying, Hu Po dear."
Miss Huai Shi laughed. "When girls are honest with each other, shouldn't they take a shower together intimately, then have a pillow fight in their pajamas, and finally lie in bed to talk about their favorite type, their relationship experiences, and the skincare products that are on sale recently … and then hug their best friend to sleep?"
"Huai Shi …" Hu Po flicked the ash from his cigarette and looked up at the dark sky.
"Hmm?"
"My stomach can't take it anymore. Can you please stop saying such disgusting things?" Hu Po sighed numbly: "Take it as me begging you, please don't ruin my beautiful impression of pure friendship between girls."
"You're so annoying, Hu Po dear. Even if I hear you say that, I'll still be angry …"
Crack! The sound of the phone's casing being crushed could be heard.
"Alright, alright. I was just joking. Why are you being so serious?"
Huai Shi raised his head and stared at the gradually darkening sky outside the window. Suddenly, he said, "Say, if a murderer suddenly appeared in your Third Uncle's house …"
"Needless to say, the first suspect is you."
Amber rolled his eyes.
"That Third Uncle of mine is nothing more than a symbol. He's just a guy who's been pushed to the front of the Kansan Group as the family representative. He's not even a Ascender … Now, he's just an idiot who thinks I can do it after his ambition swelled. The position of family head has never had anything to do with him. Now that he's doing this, I'm afraid there's more or less someone pushing him behind the scenes.
If you act rashly, you'll only give other people something to use against you. Who knows, maybe you'll really be labeled as the scapegoat of a murderer and be punished by the heavens or something … This way, you'll have two fewer competitors. Who knows how happy the others will be. "
"Then what do you think …"
Huai Shi suddenly had a bold idea. He asked expectantly: "If I let him know that I have evidence of him violating the Living Beings' Mercy Order and even summoning hellish creatures in the Current Realm, and that I plan to hand it over to the Astronomy Society … Will he act desperate tonight and spend money to find someone to kill me? Find someone with a lot of people. I'll cooperate and pretend to be seriously injured to give him some confidence. "
¿¿
A hundred thousand question marks flew over from the other end of the phone.
Hu Po once again deeply felt and confirmed just how serious the problem in Huai Shi's head was.
What the hell?
After finding the mastermind, he didn't want to quickly eliminate the root of the problem. Instead, he wanted to raise them like leeks and have them send people to kill him every few days.
"What are you planning!"
"My happiness can't be bought with money, can't it?" Miss Huai Zhi replied with a trembling voice: "I'm happy that people come to kill me. The more the better. It's best if they're scum who committed crimes and can't be redeemed even with ten thousand deaths. More of them, Sister Gong Ba likes them!"
"That's enough from you."
Hu Po sighed: "Let my Third Uncle off. That trash really doesn't have any other abilities other than having some brains in investing. I'm afraid that after he receives the news of the Earthdragon army being wiped out, he'll just shrink in his woman's bed and tremble. "
"That sounds really unreasonable. This kind of feeling of being unable to support a wall with mud …"
"Who said it wasn't."
"Don't you guys have those kind of strong and powerful villains? The kind that won't give up and only want to get rid of a stumbling block like me. As long as I don't die, they'll keep sending people to kill me. If there are, let me go and provoke them. When the time comes, I'll give you 30% of the reward. "
"…"
"Is 30% too little? This can be discussed. Is there anything that can't be said between us good sisters? "
Crack.
It was the sound of the phone breaking down even further.
It seemed like Hu Po's patience with him was really reaching its limit. That was why Hu Po's stinky sister didn't learn any self-cultivation skills after going to Dongxia for so many years. She only cared about stealing other people's kills.
It was too embarrassing.
Huai Shi sighed and said: "Then help me prepare …"
He glanced at the girl beside him. "Tomorrow night, Zhen Xi will name Lijian Bujing and start a trial with the Imperial Chef Demon."
"What's the bet?"
"Nothing. Even if he wins, he won't earn a single cent. But you can tell him what the consequences will be if he refuses. "
"Why don't you tell him such a troublesome thing!"
"I thought that since you guys are relatives, it'll be easier to tell him …"
Bang!
He didn't know if the other party hung up or if another phone broke.
In any case, it seemed like this matter was settled.
"Let's go."
Huai Shi wiped his mouth and stood up: "We're going back."
.
.
Late at night, in a quiet room, Huai Shi opened the Cage of Dreams.
Along with a flash of light, nine huge iron ball-like things appeared on the ground, casually rolling around … It was unknown whether they had eaten too much or something else had happened.
After eating the large snake that had gathered all of the Earth Dragon's Origin Substance, Sage Mark, and even the divinity of the fallen River Lord, the nine Wrapping Candle Crows began to rapidly grow until they became like this.
As they rapidly grew, bone-like iron crystals began to proliferate from their bodies, wrapping them from the inside out. In the end, they became metal balls that were half the height of a person.
They looked heavy, but when one picked them up, they felt completely weightless.
It was as if one was holding a balloon.
After being forged by the Sunmaker, the power of Huai Shi's Sealing Hand had deeply penetrated them. Although they had a certain amount of mass in their steel form, they also had the form of a mist-like Origin Substance.
From a certain perspective, they did indeed have a part of the power that was quite similar to Huai Shi's soul. This was also proof of the contract between the two sides.
As an extension of the Young Arbiter of Life, everything they had was given to them by Huai Shi.
But even Huai Shi didn't expect this situation to happen.
But according to the diagnostic procedures in the breeding manual given to him by the Ivory Tower, this seemed to be a manifestation of a deep transformation. After eating so many experience bags, they finally began to grow again.
At present, there didn't seem to be too much of a problem.
There was no need to panic at all.
Because the Young Arbiter of Life's Sage Mark was still operating very stably, and after they entered this state, they even began to grow at a rate dozens of times faster than before.
And now, the speed was getting faster and faster … …
The Sage Mark's Destiny was growing.
Without using any secret instruments or other precious materials, it could only mean that a large number of correction values or distortions related to the Young Arbiter of Life were continuously appearing on Huai Shi's body.
The world was changing.
Unfortunately, Huai Shi did not think that hundreds or thousands of mature musicians would suddenly appear in her classroom in the Ivory Tower. She also did not think that one of her two students would suddenly be inspired to write an earth-shattering piece of music. When the piece was completed, the heavens would weep and the hell would weep or something like that.
This change was destined to have nothing to do with the correction values.
In that case … … it could only be the distortion brought about by the underworld.
After such a long period of planting, watering, and waiting, it was finally time for this sapling to sprout.
Huai Shi held the slightly vibrating metal ball in his hand and waited nervously.
It was as exciting as pulling out a box.
He didn't know what kind of prize he would win.
In particular, when a crack appeared on the metal ball, he became even more excited. These were all children that he had raised by himself. As a male mother, what was wrong with being excited?
As the metal ball continued to vibrate, the internal weight began to rapidly increase.
Obviously, the hellish creature that had turned into Source Matter was transforming back into a material form, increasing its mass and body bit by bit, pecking at the metal shell that bound it. Finally, in the sharp sound of metal rubbing against each other, it broke out of the shell.
From within, steel birds bathed in the light of fire rose one after another.
It was still dark.
But it burned with pale flames, as if it had been ignited, but there was no pain or discomfort. Instead, it looked very comfortable.
The original candlestick disappeared, as if it had been integrated into the body.
Then, huge metal wings spread out, and the sharp beak raised.
Above the small head, countless fine steel fragments formed a structure that simulated the movement of the muscles. It opened its mouth and made a familiar sound.
"— — Holy!"
