Chapter 1171 Remote Confrontation

In Lin Qiye’s spiritual perception, there were at least twenty “Mysteries” surrounding him from all directions.

They stared straight at Lin Qiye in the center of the alley, completely ignoring each other’s existence, like a group of puppets without consciousness.

“Are they being controlled by someone?” Lin Qiye instantly sensed something was wrong.

Generally speaking, even among “Mysteries,” there would be competition or predatory hostile relationships between them. A situation like this where more than twenty “Mysteries” cooperated in perfect coordination was almost impossible.

Recalling the scene at the Li family estate where that monster was searching for Li Jianbai, Lin Qiye could almost certainly determine that the entity controlling these “Mysteries” now was the same person who massacred the Li family.

And where did these suddenly appearing twenty-plus “Mysteries” come from?

The answer was obvious.

During these four years, it wasn’t that Linjiang City had no “Mysteries,” but rather that all the descending “Mysteries” had been subjugated by someone one step ahead.

Lin Qiye’s mind quickly connected all the clues, and as his eyes swept across his surroundings, he calmly said:

“If it were someone else facing so many ‘Mysteries,’ they would indeed be at a disadvantage… Unfortunately for you, you’ve encountered me.”

Lin Qiye took a step forward, splashing rainwater, as several magical light bursts appeared around him!

Figures wearing green caretaker uniforms appeared out of thin air around Lin Qiye, their forms blurring as they charged toward those “Mysteries”!

The two groups of “Mysteries” collided in the rain-soaked alley, each with different realms and abilities, instantly creating numerous battlefields. The battle’s shockwaves immediately shattered surrounding buildings into pieces. Fortunately, this was an old district scheduled for demolition, far enough from Hanshan Orphanage that no one would be accidentally injured.

Lin Qiye stood in place holding his umbrella, his eyes emitting a faint golden light as they slowly scanned the surroundings:

“Let me guess… where are you hiding?”

Lin Qiye’s spiritual perception couldn’t locate the mastermind behind this. Either they were using some power to conceal their presence, or they were hiding beyond the range of Lin Qiye’s perception, remotely controlling these “Mysteries.”

Relatively speaking, Lin Qiye was more inclined toward the former.

It’s worth noting that there isn’t a second Divine Mental Hospital in the world. The ability to control “Mysteries” was something he had never heard of before. Being able to control such a number of “Mysteries” was already astonishing enough; if they could also control them from an extremely long distance, that would be too monstrous.

Meanwhile, on a factory rooftop one kilometer away, Wu Quan, covered by a gray plastic bag, frowned deeply.

“He can also control these monsters?”

“Could it be that his ability is the same as mine?”

“No, impossible…”

Wu Quan remained silent for a moment, determination appearing in his eyes.

He raised both hands on the factory rooftop, like a conductor about to begin a performance, and gently waved toward the distant battlefield.

…

Boom—!

Red Face, who was charging through the old district, suddenly felt her body sink, then move uncontrollably as if no longer under her command, turning her head and flying away!

Her form expanded rapidly in the wind, instantly transforming into a giant red dragon, raising its head high as a ball of intense heat quickly condensed in its throat.

Roar—!!

The scorching dragon breath tore through the rain curtain, heading straight for Lin Qiye in the center of the alley!

Lin Qiye’s pupils contracted as his form instantly vanished into the void, avoiding the flame-veined dragon breath, and half a second later he stepped out of thin air hundreds of meters away.

“He can even control my caretakers?” Lin Qiye’s face showed shock as he watched Red Face spinning in the sky.

Before he could recover from his surprise, the space around him was disrupted, twisting rapidly like a Rubik’s cube, trapping him in chaotic space.

Lin Qiye’s expression darkened as he looked up to see the chaotic cube spinning in the air, trapping him within its domain.

Strands of spider silk cut through the air, weaving into a large net that covered all escape routes around Lin Qiye.

“Director, run! I can’t control my—”

Azhu stood in a corner of the alley, controlling the spider silk with his ten fingers, anxiously speaking.

Halfway through his sentence, his mouth seemed to be zipped shut, quickly closing, unable to utter another word.

The chaotic cube and Azhu were not of high realm, so Lin Qiye simply used [Zhan Bai] to cut through space and quickly escaped.

His spiritual perception swept the surroundings, confirming that except for a few “Klein” level caretakers, all other caretakers had been controlled and had joined forces with Linjiang City’s native “Mysteries” to deal with him.

Even those “Klein” level caretakers’ bodies began to twist strangely, as if someone was pulling an invisible thread, fighting for control of their bodies.

Lin Qiye’s face darkened. Without hesitation, he sent all the caretakers back to the hospital.

“In that case, I’ll kill all these ‘Mysteries’ and see how long you can hold out.”

He gripped [Zhan Bai] with one hand as a shade of night rapidly spread beneath his feet, making the already gloomy sky visibly darker.

Lin Qiye stood in the center of the alley, fully releasing his “Klein” level realm pressure, with furnace-like golden flames burning fiercely in his eyes.

These “Mysteries” in Linjiang City were at most of the “Wuliang” realm. Even without using the caretakers’ power, killing all of them would only be a matter of time for Lin Qiye.

Just as Lin Qiye was about to strike with his blade, a sudden change occurred!

The rain pouring from the sky suddenly began to rotate around Lin Qiye, as if guided by an invisible baton, gathering into a meandering water vortex in an instant!

Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed.

Just as he was about to act, his body became as heavy as if filled with lead, as if an invisible force was compressing his muscles, trying to take control of his physical form.

At the same time, Lin Qiye’s blood flow became increasingly sluggish, and his brain, due to insufficient blood supply, began to feel dizzy with darkening vision.

He can not only control “Mysteries,” but also matter and the human body?!

This thought flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind.

As if to confirm his thoughts, the ground beneath his feet instantly formed a pair of large hands that grabbed at Lin Qiye’s ankles like lightning.

With his body rigid, Lin Qiye was caught off guard and controlled by these hands. The water tornado flew toward him, transforming into a mass of water that surrounded him.

“Mysteries” from all directions converged upon him.

Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed as he let out a cold snort.

Shapeshifting magic light flashed across his body, transforming him into a frost giant dragon that instantly broke free from the earth and water’s restraints, soaring into the sky!

“After hiding for so long… isn’t it time to show your face?”

The frost giant dragon transformed back into Lin Qiye’s original form, and the hand gripping [Zhan Bai] flashed with brilliant golden light.

He closed his eyes and backhandedly threw the blade of [Zhan Bai]!

Under the effect of the miracle, [Zhan Bai] randomly selected a direction and flew out like lightning!
