"You have killed a participant (Witchcraft World)."
"You have obtained seven fragments of the Stone of the Gods."
"As this is your first kill of a participant from the Witchcraft World, you have received a reward: Blood Gu Worm x1."
Blood Gu Worm (Beast Taming) (Blue): A Gu worm refined through witchcraft. Once attached to a target, it can feed on their blood and inflict blood poison upon them.
Seven fragments of the Stone of the Gods, not bad.
A Blood Gu Worm?
Just a toy.
Bai Ye put away the items and quickly leaped downwards.
Although Kaneki Ken had vanished, the structure of the Ghoul Detention Center was simpler than he had imagined. Since it was confirmed that Kaneki Ken was heading to the lower levels, he would just keep going down.
As he continued to descend, Bai Ye was nearing the bottom.
But at this moment...
A figure suddenly flew up from below!
Bang!
Bai Ye quickly reached out and caught the person, then looked down...
Kaneki Ken?
As soon as Bai Ye caught Kaneki Ken, another figure came from below. Bare-chested, revealing a muscular physique, with long hair and a mustache, they came flying in with a kick.
Fire wings appeared behind Bai Ye, closing in front of him.
Bang!
A dull collision sound echoed.
Invisible waves pushed outwards, and large cracks immediately appeared on the surrounding walls.
After blocking the attack, Bai Ye descended from the air and looked ahead.
"Kuzen Yoshimura?"
Kuzen Yoshimura looked at Bai Ye and said, "It's been a while since I've stretched my muscles, and now there are quite a few formidable youngsters."
After speaking, Kuzen Yoshimura sprang off his toes and leaped towards Bai Ye again, launching another flying kick.
Bai Ye swung his wings and met the opponent head-on again.
Rumble!
The ground beneath their feet instantly shattered, forming a large pit.
Kuzen Yoshimura looked at Bai Ye and said, "I don't know what you're trying to do by coming to the Ghoul Detention Center to cause trouble, but I won't be indebted to you, nor should you expect me to help you with anything."
"Oh?"
Indebted?
This old man in front of him was also a ghoul.
Bai Ye's surprise was not unfounded. Kaneki Ken had clearly been beaten, and Kuzen Yoshimura...
Hadn't even used his kagune!
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, suddenly understanding the meaning of the reward for the third restricted zone mission.
Close-quarters combat skills that surpassed human limits?
Kuzen Yoshimura's combat abilities were strong?
Bai Ye became somewhat interested. After speaking, Kuzen Yoshimura didn't hold back either, launching a continuous barrage of attacks at Bai Ye.
Bang, bang, bang...
Kuzen Yoshimura's fists repeatedly slammed into Bai Ye's wings. After more than a dozen punches...
Crack!
Bai Ye's wings let out a crisp sound, followed by a huge crack.
"Haa!"
Kuzen Yoshimura roared and twisted his body, delivering a spinning kick that completely shattered Bai Ye's wings.
But...
Bai Ye grinned. The old man had fallen for it.
The moment he shattered the wings, Bai Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed Kuzen Yoshimura's ankle.
What kind of combat skills, it was just...
As Bai Ye thought this, Kuzen Yoshimura suddenly twitched his calf and inexplicably broke free from Bai Ye's grasp.
A look of shock appeared on Bai Ye's face.
How was that possible?
Bai Ye hadn't felt any strength-based struggle at all; he had clearly gripped Kuzen Yoshimura firmly, yet he had still broken free.
Bang!
Seizing Bai Ye's moment of surprise, Kuzen Yoshimura landed, sprang off his toes, and slammed into Bai Ye's chest, sending Bai Ye flying backward.
With a dull thud, Bai Ye crashed hard against the wall!
...
Ghoul Detention Center, Outer Perimeter!
Li Jia Yi looked at the Ghoul Detention Center, which was spewing black smoke and flames everywhere and was already in a mess...
At that moment, Li Jia Yi almost cried.
Good news: In his plan, the Ghoul Detention Center was a restricted zone that had to be opened.
Bad news: It wasn't him who opened the restricted zone.
Even worse news: He hadn't even entered the restricted zone yet.
It was like this: you'd pursued the goddess of your dreams for years, only for her to end up with someone else and even have a child. You still quietly waited. Just as she finally divorced, you excitedly told the goddess you were willing to take her child's surname, but the goddess replied... 138 Reading Network
You're not worthy!
Li Jia Yi felt completely numb.
Why was he always unlucky whenever Bai Ye was involved?
Did that guy have some kind of curse-inducing ability?
"I can't just sit here and wait," after a moment of lament, Li Jia Yi said to the girl beside him, "Let's take action!"
The girl nodded and said, "Okay!"
As the girl was about to rush forward, Li Jia Yi grabbed her.
Li Jia Yi asked, "What are you doing?"
The girl replied, "You said to take action."
Li Jia Yi asked, "Do you know what I meant by 'take action'?"
The girl shook her head and said, "No!"
Li Jia Yi covered his face. She was a very cute and pretty girl, but why was her mind like this?
Taking a deep breath, Li Jia Yi told himself not to get angry.
He had requested someone who was steady, capable, obedient, and diligent, and she fit the criteria perfectly. If he told her to go east, she'd go east; if he told her to go west, she'd go west. She was steady, capable, obedient, and diligent...
"Damn it!" Li Jia Yi suddenly cursed, "Next time, remember to add a clause: no idiots!"
Li Jia Yi suppressed his anger, but it seemed he hadn't succeeded.
The girl looked at Li Jia Yi pitifully. Had she done something wrong? Wasn't it you who said to take action?
"Go and open the restricted zone of the Ghoul Investigation Headquarters," Li Jia Yi waved his hand. "Now, immediately, go at once. You must do it before this restricted zone ends."
The girl nodded, ran forward a few steps, and then stopped, saying, "How do you open that restricted zone?"
Li Jia Yi was annoyed. "Didn't I ask you to scout out all the restricted zones in advance and prepare? And now you're telling me you don't know how to open them?"
The girl said timidly, "That restricted zone was investigated by you personally. I was responsible for the Ghoul Detention Center."
Li Jia Yi: "..."
The girl asked, "Should I still go?"
Li Jia Yi asked, "Do you know how to open the restricted zone?"
The girl shook her head. "No."
Li Jia Yi roared, "Then what are you going for!"
"Oh!"
The girl agreed and then obediently stood to the side.
Li Jia Yi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. You're just going to stand there? Shouldn't you be asking how to open the restricted zone right now?
Li Jia Yi finally understood what despair meant.
"Here, here..." Li Jia Yi took out two yuan and stuffed them into the girl's hand. "Take this money, go to the supermarket and buy some snacks, go back to the hotel and watch some dramas, like Er Kang and Zi Wei's separation and reunion. The rest is up to me, up to me, all up to me, alright!"
After saying that, Li Jia Yi turned and left.
He deserved to have an assistant.
Damn it, in the end, he was the one doing all the work!
