Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 407 - 390: The Real Culprit Behind the Massacre
Upon hearing his words, Wei Xianzhong suddenly had a foreboding feeling. He took out his dedicated contact phone and indeed saw that various districts were applying for rescue at the bureau center.
Almost simultaneously, it seemed that all sorts of supernatural creatures appeared nationwide, wreaking havoc.
Some are very powerful, making it quite troublesome to subdue them.
Some are weak, but the problem is they consume manpower.
Almost all personnel from the bureau had been dispatched, leaving no one to support Wei Xianzhong.
He didn’t believe such coincidences could exist in the world.
"Did you do this?"
He suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Yunhe, who had just used a spell to stop his bleeding.
Li Yunhe provocatively smiled and said, "Not only that."
Wei Xianzhong looked down at his phone again, his pupils suddenly contracted.
At this very moment, they’re deploying arrays targeting us.
Damn!
Even though he had remained composed for years, he couldn’t help but curse aloud.
Originally, he thought it was just a conflict with Li Yunhe, but he didn’t expect it to escalate to this level.
...
On an empty lot in the east of the city, eight figures clad in black kimonos formed a circle, emanating an ominous red glow.
At the forefront, an elder with skeletal fingers clutched a yellowed human skin talisman, his nails embedded with dark red blood crust, and his throat emitted a hoarse sound, while near-manic fire flickered in his clouded eyes.
"A hundred-year setup, today we can finally absorb the earth’s veins..." Behind him, a slightly younger man in a kimono licked his cracked lips, his gaze greedily sweeping over the array map below, which was oozing sticky black liquid, each drop dragging a thin gray line, drilling toward the depths of the earth’s veins.
The air around the array’s core began to distort, the flag on the distant rooftop suddenly drooped listlessly, and the flag’s edges inexplicably turned black.
An old man selling breakfast pushed his cart by and suddenly stumbled, causing the tofu pudding and fried dough sticks in the cart to tumble to the ground. He clutched his chest, gasping for air, feeling as if a heavy stone weighed on his heart, with every breath tinged with the smell of rust.
"Quickly... look at that mist!" Someone pointed at the threads appearing in the purple mist.
The semi-transparent threads converged from all corners of the city, some drifting from the direction of the museum, carrying the mottled rust of bronze artifacts; some emerged from old alleyways, wrapped around the smooth glow of green stone slabs; and more rose from the school playground, enveloped in the fresh red of youth.
All forcibly extracted by the array, flowing along the threads toward the core.
The kimono-clad elder suddenly bit his tongue, spraying vital blood onto the human skin talisman: "Lord Baki, help us Dahe surpass all nations!"
The crowd behind him simultaneously knelt to the ground, their foreheads pressing against the scorching earth, bodies trembling with excitement, and their voices quivering with tears: "Surpass all nations! Surpass all nations!"
The serpent’s head shadow in the purple mist suddenly opened its mouth wide, as if the threads were finding their way home, eagerly diving into the serpent’s mouth.
The light in the city visibly dimmed, the once lively night market turned eerie and silent, stall owners looked at each other, their calculators clattered to the ground, the screens instantaneously black. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
In the hospital, the heart rates of several patients who had just escaped danger suddenly plummeted, the monitors blaring ear-splitting alarms.
"It’s now!" The elder swiftly raised the talisman, the black liquid on the array map suddenly boiling, transforming into eight small snake forms, aggressively drilling into the depths of the earth’s veins.
...
As a professional, Mu Yunchu naturally sensed the changes in the air.
She walked out from behind Wei Xianzhong, her sharp gaze sweeping toward Li Yunhe across the way.
Slightly tilting her head, she thanked Wei Xianzhong, "Thank you for buying me time."
Seeing her calm demeanor, Li Yunhe’s eyes showed some other emotion.
Buying time?
No wonder she hadn’t taken any action earlier.
So what had she been doing?
"Is it because of what happened back then that you hate it so much?" Mu Yunchu asked.
Li Yunhe was clearly taken aback.
A look of surprise flashed across his brow.
He quickly regained his composure.
"You know everything." His tone was affirmative.
Mu Yunchu had just asked Li Shang.
She finally understood why Li Yunhe wanted to take revenge on the world.
Because he was Li Shang’s nanny’s biological son, sold at birth.
Though long past the newborn stage, as a mother, she could still recognize her child at a glance.
"So, was it also your handiwork that harmed Li Shang’s entire family?"
This was a question Mu Yunchu wasn’t entirely sure of.
It was just a guess.
But she hadn’t expected Li Yunhe to directly admit it.
