    Book Chapter 711: I’ll Kill You! (4 updates)

    Just as Lin was busy showing off,

    suddenly someone slapped him across the face. Imagine how that feels!

    It’s like dining at a restaurant and then tossing your used toothpick back into the container and giving it a shake.

    You leave feeling smug, only to later discover that many others have the same habit at that restaurant.

    That anger, that indescribable disgust, that urge to grind everyone to dust.

    Only you could truly understand that!

    Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, someone felt the exact same fury…

    “In the world of crows, there are no white swans.”

    Xiao Yu sneered into the phone, “I’ve always despised people with warped values. They love living in their own little bubble. When they’re stuck in the mud, they not only refuse help—they even curse anyone who tries to pull them out.”

    “And yet, you’re the type who perches atop a moral pedestal built from your own standards, cynically condemning every imperfection in the world, all while practically begging for Prometheus to tighten a bag around your neck.”

    “Complaining, distorting, envying, being selfish—everything you do is wrong in your own eyes… What else do you have to offer?”

    “Your twisted values force you to drag others into your cesspool, expecting them to praise how brilliant it is, how fresh the air is, how free life can be.”

    “Do you have any idea how repulsive you are in the eyes of a normal person?”

    “Why are you so pleased with yourself? Who gave you that courage, Liang Jingru?”

    “By the way, did you purposely make this call so I could track you down?”

    “Have you already set a trap, waiting for me to fall right into it?”

    “You know I’ll catch you—even if I have to jump on any little clue?”

    “Do you really think you’re the only one smart enough in this world, and that everyone else is a fool who revolves around you?”

    “I’m not mocking you—your brain is so lackluster that I could dig some dirt from between my toes and it’d still be sharper than yours.”

    “You hide in your cesspool, living like a maggot… you’re absolutely nothing.”

    “If my words hurt you, don’t question my manners…”

    Xiao Yu replied word for word, “It was on purpose!”

    “You…”

    A roar of anger erupted from the other end of the line.

    “What, are you getting worked up? Did I hit a nerve?”

    Xiao Yu laughed disdainfully, “How embarrassing. This is my world. And you’re welcome to join it… idiot!”

    “Crack… beep beep beep!”

    The phone was thrown?

    Xiao Yu wiped away his sneer, his expression calm while his eyes gleamed with a chilling light.

    Anger was exactly what he felt.

    Being angry never brings calm—it only scatters you.

    Do you really think you can lead us by the nose?

    If you want to play games with me, you must follow my rules.

    So get angry—the angrier you get, the more you want to kill me.

    I’m just afraid you won’t show up. You wouldn’t dare appear; you lack the courage.

    As long as you dare…

    I will kill you!

    ……

    Somewhere in a basement.

    “Crack!”

    A phone crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.

    “Damn it, how did he know? On what basis did he figure out my trap?”

    A man, his face twisted in rage, his eyes flashing with venom, trembled as he shouted, “No, he just got lucky! How can one possibly guess someone else’s intentions, let alone their every move?”

    “Infuriated? Does he want to enrage me further? Anger makes you lose your wits and fall apart.”

    “Heh, I must say—you nearly succeeded, nearly drove me crazy.”

    “I suddenly find myself looking forward to this game!”

    The man regained his composure and walked gracefully toward the exit of the basement.

    As he opened the basement door and stepped out,

    outside lay a hall where at least a hundred hooded figures in black cloaks, their faces hidden, knelt on the ground.

    Before each of them sat an oil lamp.

    The lamps burned, releasing a strange scent into the air.

    And the oil in these lamps was equally peculiar.

    Because it was corpse oil!

    “Children, the gods need you now! Our enemy has arrived!”

    The man raised his hands before the crowd and declared, “The gods command that our enemy shall meet a terrible fate!”

    “Enemy… shall meet a terrible fate!”

    A unified murmur from beneath the black hoods swelled into a roar, transforming into…

    Massacre!

    ……

    Inside the Interrogation Room…

    Xiao Yu coolly fixed his gaze on a man.

    Wang Jianmu—the suspect who had chased his wife with a knife, slashed six neighborhood residents, injured two police officers, and caused widespread panic—stood there.

    Now, he was completely lucid, no longer the violent, frenzied man he had been.

    Handcuffed to the interrogation chair, he trembled with sheer terror.

    Not even an hour ago, he had been ruthlessly attacking people.

    “Do you know what this is?”

    Xiao Yu raised his hand and pointed at a glass jar on the interrogation table.

    This jar had been confiscated from Wang Jianmu’s home; it was used to store corpse oil and corpse wax.

    “……”

    Wang Jianmu said nothing, his eyes filled with fear as he glanced at the jar and lowered his head in panic.

    “It seems you know what this is, right?”

    Xiao Yu sneered, “Not only do you know what it is, but you also know its purpose, don’t you?”

    Wang Jianmu remained silent.

    Yet his body trembled uncontrollably from heightened emotion.

    “Did you really think staying silent would save you?”

    Xiao Yu said coldly, “That’s corpse oil. It’s extracted from human bodies—and not just from corpses, but from living people… This is murder!”

    Wang Jianmu trembled even harder.

    “Have you ever considered that from today on, your so-called life as a 3.9… is no life at all?”

    Xiao Yu shook his head, “Even your wife, your child, your relatives—they might all see their futures plunge into darkness because of you…”

    “No!”

    Wang Jianmu suddenly looked up in panic, yelling, “These matters have nothing to do with them. They’re all innocent!”

    “Innocent?”

    Xiao Yu’s expression turned cold as he pointed again at the jar of corpse oil. “Are they truly innocent? And have you let these people go free?”

    It was like a needle piercing his heart; Wang Jianmu’s weak attempt to defend himself failed as his face contorted in anguish.

    He struggled to hold back his emotions, desperately trying not to break down.

    Thinking of his family, despair washed over his face.

    “But I can offer you one chance.”

    Xiao Yu laughed coldly, “Do you really want it?”
