The bald old man's collapse was too sudden. There was no warning at all, and the three people at the table were shocked.
"Old Lin? Old Lin! "The young man tried calling him twice.
The bald old man's eyes were wide open, but he did not respond.
The middle-aged man reached out to check his breathing and said solemnly, "He's dead."
"What?!"
The young man was shocked. "Old Lin was perfectly fine. Why did he suddenly die?"
The bald old man was clearly talking to them a second ago, but he suddenly died in the next second. He could not accept this.
The masked man walked to the corpse and saw that the bald old man had died with his eyes wide open. His face was filled with horror as if he had been scared to death by something terrifying.
"A spiritual-type supernatural being can multitask. If I'm not mistaken, during the meeting just now, Old Lin's spirit left his body to look for the girl he had his eyes on."
He analyzed.
"Something might have happened along the way. A supernatural being noticed him and destroyed his spirit body. Once his spirit body was destroyed, Old Lin's body also died."
The young man and the middle-aged man were enlightened when they heard this. They felt that this should be the case.
"A dog can't change its habit. What a complete piece of trash!"
The masked man suddenly snorted. His tone was filled with anger. "It's fine if he died because of his own uselessness, but he had to drag us down with him!"
"That supernatural being was able to kill Old Lin. He's definitely not an ordinary person. Regardless of whether Old Lin leaked our plan before he died, we can't stay in this foothold any longer. We have to change our position immediately."
"Alright!"
The two of them listened to the masked man's instructions.
The masked man glanced at them and said coldly, "I'll say this first. If any of you are like Old Lin and dare to cause trouble in the last three days, I'll be the first to make you die without a burial ground!"
The two of them shuddered when they heard this.
…
…
In Jiang Yuqing's room on the fourth floor of the farmhouse.
"It's nothing. There's no need to panic."
Liu Haoming calmly comforted Huang Xing and the others who had rushed over after hearing the news.
He pointed at the altar beside him that was filled with incense, candles, and talismans.
"The commotion just now was caused by the Taoist priest's ritual. That Taoist priest is a supernatural being. Now that the ritual is over, he's gone."
"Extraordinaire?!"
Huang Xing and the others were shocked. To normal people like them, supernatural beings were too far away. They had always only seen supernatural beings on television or the news.
As they looked at the door that had been reduced to ruins, everyone had strange expressions on their faces. For the first time, they experienced the terror of superhumans up close.
"So it was the Taoist priest who did it. You gave us a scare just now. We thought it was a gas explosion." Huang Xing forced a smile.
"Since nothing happened, let's go back to our room and rest."
The crowd did not want to get too involved with the Extraordinaire. The talismans on the altar in the room made them very uncomfortable, so they took the initiative to leave.
After they left, Liu Haoming turned back and said to Jiang Ye, "Mr. Jiang, I don't want to get into too much trouble. Only a few of us know that I killed the evil spirit just now. Please don't tell anyone else, let alone report it to the authorities."
Although Dong Xue said that he did not break the law, Liu Haoming was still worried. He wanted to keep the matter a secret. After all, the evil spirit had been destroyed. As long as no one said anything, no one would know.
Jiang Ye understood what he meant and quickly said, "Little brother, don't worry. Our family will keep our mouths shut. We won't cause you any trouble!"
"That's good."
Liu Haoming nodded. Then, he looked at Dong Xue and Ling Wei with a guilty conscience. He did not know if these two girls, who held the country's iron rice bowl, would expose him. Seeing their strange expressions and silence, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little brother, this money was originally a reward for Daoist Yu. Since you were the one who dealt with the evil spirit in the end, then this money …" Jiang Ye said as he handed the notes that Daoist Yu had returned to him to Liu Haoming to thank him.
"You don't have to do that." Liu Haoming waved his hand and refused.
"It's just a small matter. You should use this money to repair the door."
Liu Haoming felt quite embarrassed that he had damaged their door to this extent. After saying that, he went out and went downstairs.
Jiang Ye and his wife did not dare to give him the money, nor did they dare to stop him. They could only watch him go downstairs.
On the bed, Jiang Yuqing's eyes shone brightly as she watched Liu Haoming's figure leave. For the first time, she had a definition and understanding of the term "extraordinaire."
When he went downstairs, Li Zhengkang could not help but ask out of curiosity, "Brother Hao, when did you awaken your superpower?"
Dong Xue and Ling Wei were slightly moved when they heard this. They also wanted to know the answer to this question.
"That night when we came back from dinner at the Cape of Good Hope, I mysteriously awakened my superpower," Liu Haoming replied.
He did not mention that he had been kidnapped by terrorists. After all, it was already in the past. There was no point in saying more.
"I didn't want to expose my superpower, but just now, in order to save the boss's daughter, I had no choice but to use my superpower."
Li Zhengkang was extremely envious. "Brother Hao, aren't you a little too lucky? Why can't such a good thing happen to me?!"
Then he thought of something and suddenly changed the topic. He asked Dong Xue, "Dong Xue, Brother Hao is also a superhuman now. Can he also work in the national organization you're in?"
Dong Xue was stunned. "About that …"
She exchanged a look with Ling Wei and said hesitantly, "Not all superhumans can work for the country. But if Liu Haoming is interested, I can recommend you to the higher-ups. As for whether you'll be accepted or not, that will depend on how things go."
Liu Haoming shook his head. "Forget about that. I'm running a pretty good internet cafe now. Besides, my superpower isn't that strong, and my strength is limited. Any superhuman would probably be more powerful than me."
Li Zhengkang wanted to say something but hesitated. He felt that it was a pity for Liu Haoming. He felt that if it were him, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to become colleagues with Dong Xue.
Dong Xue and Ling Wei thought that Liu Haoming was deliberately being modest. He was definitely not weak. Although they did not know what his superpower was, since he could see the existence of spirit bodies, his spirit level must be very strong. Even in the Transcendent, where there were many strong people, there would not be many people with a higher spirit level than him.
As they had just experienced a hair-raising evil incident and it was getting late, no one was in the mood to play mahjong. They all returned to their rooms to rest.
After Dong Xue and Ling Wei returned to their rooms, they took out their communication devices and contacted Lu Haoran. They reported their experiences to him truthfully.
"A mental-type superhuman, huh …?"
On the other end of the device, Lu Haoran's voice was grave. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"Continue to protect Liu Haoming. Next, if you encounter any unexpected situations, ask the people around you to provide reinforcements. Try not to let him take action if you can."
