Chapter 143: Rules
The deep blue vortex that had been floating in Han Shaoyun’s palm suddenly vanished, as if it had never existed.
The members of Team 136 were all momentarily stunned, even Han Shaoyun himself was bewildered.
Where did the vortex go?
What happened to such a large vortex?
After a moment of daze, he looked up at Chen Muye and the others, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes:
“Well done.”
Chen Muye: …
At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something and looked into the distance. He saw a man in military uniform lift a corner of the Voidless Domain, golden ripples spreading across him as he stepped into it with a serious expression.
Bai Li Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and Shen Qingzhu obediently followed him.
“Bro, why did you snap your fingers just now?” Bai Li Pangpang asked Shen Qingzhu with a puzzled look.
Shen Qingzhu frowned, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, “Instinct?”
“Are you like Thanos or something?”
…
Shen Qingzhu ignored Bai Li Pangpang’s teasing. If it weren’t for the fact that the other party was his boss, he might have started cursing by now. However, as a worker, he had the awareness of a worker.
Lin Qiye’s eyes brightened slightly upon seeing Shen Qingzhu, vaguely understanding what had just happened.
The vortex created by Han Shaoyun was, after all, just rapidly rotating compressed air, whereas Shen Qingzhu’s [Qi Min] could control the air itself. For him, extracting air from a given range was a simple task.
If the area were to be turned into a vacuum, would your vortex still exist?
In simple terms, Shen Qingzhu was a perfect match for this!
Even though Han Shaoyun was a powerful Sea Realm expert, his [Great Wind Disaster] was more focused on disaster, and in terms of air control, it was far inferior to Shen Qingzhu’s [Qi Min].
Perhaps that’s why [Great Wind Disaster] is ranked 079, while [Qi Min] is 068.
Yuan Gang’s eyes narrowed as he watched Han Shaoyun floating in the air. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and the next moment he appeared directly above Han Shaoyun, clenched his right fist, and struck down with a golden ripple, like a meteor falling!
Boom——!!
A muffled thunderous sound echoed as Han Shaoyun was hammered down to the ground like a cannonball, creating a deep pit with a radius of several meters on the road, and thick smoke billowing up.
Yuan Gang, like a humanoid war Buddha, with golden light spreading all over his body and clothes flying, landed firmly before the pit where Han Shaoyun was, his fists smashing into the pit like raindrops.
Boom boom boom——!!
The ground trembled, and the cracks on the surface grew denser. By the time the entire street was about to collapse, Yuan Gang finally stopped his fists.
He bent down, grabbed the barely breathing Han Shaoyun by the collar, and lifted him into the air.
Former Night Watch squad leader of Suzhou City, now the 13th seat of [Believers], Han Shaoyun… Yuan Gang, dressed in spotless military attire, said expressionlessly:
“You have fallen into my hands. For the rest of your life, go to the retreat center and repent…”
Hearing this, Han Shaoyun, on the brink of death, trembled slightly, as if wanting to say something. His blood-stained eyelids opened, and a hint of despair… and pleading appeared in his eyes.
Yuan Gang frowned slightly. At this moment, a blade suddenly pierced through Han Shaoyun’s heart, with the blade tip protruding from his chest!
Yuan Gang’s pupils suddenly contracted. He jerked his head up, looking at Han Shaoyun’s back, with a flash of anger in his eyes.
“Captain Chen, what are you doing?”
Chen Muye, cloaked and calmly standing behind Han Shaoyun, slowly withdrew the straight knife that had pierced Han Shaoyun’s heart, and said淡淡地：
“Killing.”
“He is no longer a threat and is destined to be sent to the retreat center, with life and death to be decided by the court… Why kill him?”
“He wanted to kill my team members, so he must die.” Chen Muye paused and continued, “Besides, it is also a kind of relief for him.”
Yuan Gang frowned and looked at Han Shaoyun. Han Shaoyun, with his head lowered and face covered in blood, actually showed a faint smile, and his dead eyes sparkled with a different kind of brilliance.
Yuan Gang let go of his hand.
Han Shaoyun’s body fell to the ground, blood flowing from his body. With his heart pierced, most people would have died long ago, but as a Sea Realm expert, he still clung to life.
He looked at Chen Muye, his lips moving as if trying to say something.
Chen Muye hesitated for a moment, bent down, and put his ear close to Han Shaoyun’s mouth.
“Be careful… [Muttering]… He will definitely come back… to kill that boy…”
As the last word was spoken, Han Shaoyun’s eyes gradually dimmed, and he breathed his last.
After a long silence, Chen Muye straightened up, looked at the bloodied corpse lying in the snow, and slowly closed his eyes.
“Captain Chen, no matter what, this incident is against the rules,” Yuan Gang said calmly, looking at the scene and speaking solemnly.
“If you think what I did is against the rules, you can go to Shao Pingge to file a complaint.” Chen Muye, indifferent, turned around and walked towards the other members of Team 136.
“In Cangnan, I, Chen Muye… am the rule!”
Yuan Gang watched Chen Muye’s departing figure and sighed helplessly after a long time…
“This guy’s temper is still so big…”
…
“Captain, what exactly was going on with Han Shaoyun?”
After retracting the [Voidless Domain], Hong Ying approached Chen Muye with a puzzled look.
Chen Muye was silent for a moment, “Just a poor soul controlled by the Ancient God Church.”
“But it seems he really wanted to kill Qiye. Can the Ancient God Church really control people so completely?” Hong Ying tilted her head and asked.
Before Chen Muye could speak, Wu Xiangnan spoke up first: “I know quite a bit about the contracts of the Ancient God Church. It is said that once signed, it binds to the soul and acts directly from the very essence of thought.”
“In other words, even if they are actually dissatisfied with the orders they receive, they cannot refuse or obstruct the execution of the orders in any form. Actions, words, and even thoughts are all based on completing the orders.”
“Isn’t that like being a puppet?”
“Pretty much, though some people willingly become puppets and enjoy it, while others suffer terribly…”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye frowned slightly and voiced his doubt:
“If that’s the case, then why did the Ancient God Church make Han Shaoyun leave the Night Watch? Wouldn’t it be more effective to pretend he wasn’t controlled and embed him within the Night Watch?”
The others paused in their steps.
Hong Ying gaped, staring at Lin Qiye in shock, “Qiye, your thinking… is so dark!”
… Isn’t this the conventional thinking?
“Qiye is right.” Chen Muye nodded slowly, “Although Han Shaoyun did not remain in the Night Watch, it does not rule out the possibility that there are other [Believers] infiltrating the Night Watch.”
