Chapter 682: 12.84 Unknown Star - Modern ABO World: Second Case - Unexpected Visitor
Ye Xiajie continues to watch the scene before him. He saw his figure dig his own heart into his own body when he rejected the command of Ye Mo to kill his beloved. He could never kill his love and the curse of his bloodline had killed him. Ye Mo watches his most powerful son die before him. He indirectly killed him by making his life mission something he could never do. Asking Ye Xiajie to kill his beloved is impossible.
The despair and grief from Hei Anjing affected everyone in the area, his destructive aura spreading in the world of Inferno slowly turning everything. Until his grief turned to murderous intent, he looked at Ye Mo like a prey he wanted to kill regardless of anything. His hatred blinded him causing so many innocent deaths of beings in that world. Even his own people were sacrificed in his despair.
Even when exerting everything in his power, he failed to kill Ye Mo and even accidentally killed Ye Xiajie"s mother as her husband used her as a shield at the last minute. Lady G.o.ddess Gui died under the hands of Hei Anjing. The death of this lady pulled Hei Anjing out of his insanity. He was totally weakened when he woke up from his berserk state and got badly injured by his enemies allowing them to escape.
Ye Xiajie watches the scene of the World Inferno slowly getting destroyed. In a small s.p.a.ce of Ice Sanctuary, he watches his beloved cradle his cold dead body with his face full of tears. He had been crying for days until only blood came out of his eyes. Hei Anjing excludes extreme sadness and agony as he hugs his dead body. Completely unwilling to let go. As if he was his world itself, which ended the moment he died.
It was a devastating sight to see your beloved mourn for you in such a way. Ye Xiajie"s soul tries to hug the grieving Hei Anjing but he is nothing but a mere soul and this world is only memories of someone involved in their past. The scene was cut off after the owner of this perspective died and the last scene this person saw was Hei Anjing"s blood tears, and extreme sadness.
When Ye Xiajie came back to reality his mood was a bit down because everyone looked at them. Iris had fallen asleep as he overexerted his vessel"s capabilities. His body is a human one, which can never be compared to a G.o.d like Ye Xiajie. He finally finds out what his wife was trying so hard to hide from him. He knew what his life mission was after being reincarnated as Ye Xiajie.
But he had always thought that it was Ye Mo who directly killed him. Even he didn"t expect that he had died at his own hands, killing himself before his beloved. Moreover, he realized that even after he had died once the curse of that mission still continues. It would continue in his every rebirth unless he completed it instead. In short, to remove the curse Ye Mo had placed on his soul he needed to fulfill the life mission he gave him.
And that was, "To eliminate Celestial Lord Hei Anjing." Ye Xiajie must kill the person he loves the most to become free from the destiny he never wanted.
Ye Xiajie mumbles, "No wonder, Jing"er doesn"t want me to learn about my life mission because he knows that when I know I would stop him from helping me complete such an annoying task. Regardless, I will never do it and I will not allow Jing"er to sacrifice himself for me."
"It is because you will act like this that I didn"t want to tell you. But this is the only way you can become free, A"Xia you cannot make me change my decision about this so... just forget about it," said Hei Anjing.
Everyone heard Ye Xiajie"s words but only Hei Anjing among everyone in the living room could comprehend what he had just murmured. When Ye Xiajie heard his wife"s soothing voice, he immediately looked around for its source and found a sleepy Hei Anjing sitting on a couch on his own.
Ye Xiajie spoke with a smile that made his cold and dangerous aura fade.
"Baby, you"re awake!"
Before he could do, even more, Hei Anjing disappeared from the couch and appeared in front of him hugging his neck and clinging to him. Ye Xiajie made a move and caught him on time. He didn"t fall and carried him instead. Seeing his wife like this softens the G.o.d of Void"s overall appearance. He wasn"t that indifferent and aloof when Hei Anjing was still asleep. He was joyously hugging his wife in his arms.
Hei Anjing asked, "Did you heal his soul?"
"Yea, but he would still need an overnight sleep before he completely awakens. He should be your subordinate according to the memories I"ve peered in," said Ye Xiajie.
Hei Anjing spoke, "He is the second reincarnation of my subordinates. The first one I"ve found is a couple but they"ve died in the world they were reborn in and I had no other choice but to accept just their child. They should have been reincarnated without any problems as I borrowed Uncle Baojun or your former Book of Life and Death Artifact to reincarnate them. But it seems someone is interfering with me trying to find the traces of the Ye Gui Race."
"Do you have someone in mind whom it might be?" asked Ye Xiajie.
"Must be the same person who interrupted your first reincarnation causing your soul to split up with your soul core. It might be that man or someone else," said Hei Anjing.
With a single wave of his hand, Iris disappeared to where he was and only Hei Anjing knows where he was transferred.
Bai Jin unexpectedly asked, "This... Is he..."
"Don"t worry. I just placed him in an empty guest room," said Hei Anjing.
When he saw Bai Jin, Shi Wuya, and Bai Yin sneaking a peek at him, Hei Anjing showed a casual mischievous smile. These three were stunned and they were not used to this. The Celestial Lord Hei they know is a man with a deadpan face. But Hei Yuhua, Ye Yuyan, and the rest only know this playful version of Hei Anjing.
Hei Anjing said, "Good work. You have my grat.i.tude for bringing my subordinate here. This is a gift from me."
With a snap of his fingers, four golden tickets appeared in front of the pair of hosts and systems in front of him. He gave them golden redemption tickets allowing them to get one special thing in the G.o.d System or the Nether System Malls. This is regardless of the points needed in exchange. Delight appeared on their faces.
Hei Anjing stared at the white dove on the G.o.d of Misfortune"s shoulder.
"My love, make that little white bird have his human form return to him," said Hei Anjing.
;
As always, Ye Xiajie followed whatever request his wife wanted to do and pardoned another system. He returned to his original ident.i.ty like how Demon General Shi Wuya had. This time the little white dove was replaced by a blonde man with white feathered wings on his back.
Ye Xiajie spoke, "An Angel Race? It is rare you end up in Nether Prison. What did you do?"
Guang Gezi answered respectfully, "I"ve broken one of the commandments. I"ve killed my Former G.o.d and been punished for d.a.m.nation."
Pfft!
"No wonder~," said Hei Anjing. "That"s how you ended up coming in Vearth. Only those who believe in themselves can ascend to become a G.o.d. But that wouldn"t place you in Netherworld unless you broke the Divine Laws~"
A glacial aura glints within those argent orbs. Despite Hei Anjing smiling, his whole demeanor had completely changed from languid to icy. Making everyone else flinch and felt murderous intent coming from him. Those who were weak started trembling like Bai Jin meanwhile the humans were unaffected since Hei Anjing intentionally didn"t get them involved.
Bai Yin"s thoughts, "This is it!! The Celestial Lord Hei that I know! Even though he is smiling right now, the feeling is as if the ice was slicing on their skin or ice needles piercing their very soul. An aloofness that doesn"t care for the life of others."
Guang Gezi was trembling as he stuttered in his words, "I... I... I..."
Suddenly, the overbearing pressure coming from Hei Anjing disappears, making the rest gasp from short suffocation.
"I"m kidding ba~ I don"t really care what you did. But you haven"t done any merits to get your human body back. So you have to work hard for it. a.s.sist Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan complete their wish and your human form would be given back to you as a reward. This is an order for all four of you," said Hei Anjing.
The four collectively responded in a respectful manner and lowered their heads as they clasped their hands.
"Your wish is our command, Celestial Lord Hei!"
"That"s better. Yuhua, Yuyan, I can only do much to this point. You guys must do the rest," said Hei Anjing to the human side.
The four nodded their heads and collectively showed their grat.i.tude.
"Thank you, Lord Hei and Lord G.o.d Ye!"
Ye Xiajie also spoke but his eyes never left his wife"s figure and said, "Ye Yuyan. You still have one last wish. Just tell Zhi Yue if you thought about it already. My wife and I are going out."
Ye Yuyan just nodded his head in agreement and in the next second the shameless couple disappeared. Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie are no longer in sight. Just as those two left the scene, the tension in the area also faded. Most of them had sighed in relief.
Sighed!
Lou Wei commented, "Woah~ that was scary~"
"Two Supreme G.o.ds at sight. That was amazing itself," said Bai Jin.
Bai Yin and Shi Wuya agreed, "Indeed."
"Phew~ I thought I was going to die there. Celestial Lord Hei isn"t as simple as he looks," commented Guang Gezi.
Lou Wei smiled and said, "Either way. Welcome to the team you three!"
"Thank you for helping us in advance," said Yun Jie.
Hei Yuhua said, "Two of the executives defected. That"s good news. It would be easier to handle the Red Poppy Syndicate."
"Let"s finish them in one swoop and allow me to capture Poppy personally when I meet him after completing the second mission he gave me," said Hei Yuhua.
Bai Yin said, "Your second mission? Isn"t it to a.s.sa.s.sinate this man?" while pointing at Lou Wei. "Are you going to use a subst.i.tute again?"
"Yes, that"s the plan. Is there a problem with it?" Asked Ye Yuyan.
Bai Yin said, "Sooner or later Ying Su would notice that his system had gone missing. When that happens the actions they would take would be riskier and they would no longer care about civilians" lives. As public servants, it would be harder on your side."
"Don"t worry. We won"t allow them to make a move after ours. They must be all captured. Please help us check on the other side and all of their future plans, Sir Bai Yin." said Hei Yuhua.
Bai Yin said, "Sure. As promised, I and Gezi will help."
"I and Xiao Jin would help you as well. Just tell us what you want us to do," said Shi Wuya.
Ye Yuyan said, "Thank you."
"There is no need to thank us. We are only following the orders of Celestial Lord Hei," said Bai Yin.
After that, the whole team talks about their plans to solve the Red Poppy Syndicate one by one. Thanks to what Student Fu Tian had given and Bai Yin giving more information about the Syndicate, their plans were more detailed than before. They were in the middle of their discussion when suddenly they heard a knock coming from the front door of Prosecutor Ye Yuyan"s condominium unit.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Bai Jin said, "Did you hear someone knocking?"
"Please don"t scare me. It"s already past midnight no one would visit here at this kind of time," said Lou Wei as he held his lover"s hand trying to hide his fear. This silly name had always believed in science but after meeting G.o.ds, he started to acknowledge the existence of ghosts.
Yun Jie said, "Calm down. It might be... Brother Ying Wu."
"Not him. Ying Wu says he would be going home secretly to meet his parents. Though he wouldn"t be telling him how he came back to life. He wanted to side with us when we confronted Ying Su so the latter wouldn"t go insane if we ever captured him in the future," said Hei Yuhua.
Guang Gezi grins and said, "Maybe we have a surprised and unexpected visitor tonight~"
Shi Wuya and Bai Yin remain peaceful and expressionless. Things like the ghost don"t care about them but Bai Jin is a different story. He might be a G.o.d but he was never the type to fight. He is weaker than other G.o.ds and only knows how to make money. He is scared of ghosts the most.
Bai Jin as expected jumped on Shi Wuya"s embrace as if hiding himself.
"Wuya. It must be a ghost. A ghost came to
us. (QAQ)"
"Don"t be silly. This is an Omegaverse Crime World. There is no ghostly apparition in this world." said Shi Wuya letting this scaredy cat G.o.d of Wealth hug him.
Bai Yin gave his younger brother a cold glance and commented, "Coward."
The sound of knocks continues.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Finally, Hei Yuhua, who recalled something, stood up and hurriedly walked towards the door. His mate followed him worriedly as he also didn"t expect guests at this hour but at the same time he didn"t believe it was a ghost either.
Ye Yuyan asked, "What"s wrong, Yu"er?"
