Task 2

Ying Yungui raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you begging for mercy?"

"yes."

Ying Yungui tilted his head, smiled, and used telekinesis to throw the man who was offering surrender in front of Shi Youchen and the other two. He gave the black-robed man, who was lying flat on the ground, breathing more outward than inhaled, a look of contempt, and strolled over to Shi Youchen's side.

"It's no use begging me. You can try begging them. Maybe they'll let you live." Ying Yungui smiled at the man and said to Jiang Yu, "How are you?"

Jiang Yu: "It's just a minor injury, it has healed." He gave Shi Youchen a grateful look.

The tall, thin man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said flatteringly, "I was threatened by him. I didn't kick this beautiful lady, and the minor wounds on your bodies have healed. I really didn't do anything life-threatening!"

"Today is a good day. There's no need to cause any deaths on a day like this, right? Hehe."

Seeing that they were unmoved, he finally made up his mind: "Okay, how about this. I'll tell you the inside information about the mental invasion incident he caused earlier. You can use this to earn a lot of points in the association! Maybe you can even get an important position!"

"How about you spare my life in exchange?" The wounds all over his body began to heat up and numb, and his energy was drained. He knew that if he couldn't convince these people, he would definitely die tonight.

The more Jiang Yu listened, the angrier he became. This man had played tricks on the three of them yesterday with his perverted desire to perform, and tonight he teamed up to launch a surprise attack. All five of his men had suffered varying degrees of injuries, yet he wanted to lure them with benefits in order to save his life.

Luo Zhao could even hear the clacking sound of Jiang Yu's teeth clenching.

Seeing Luo Zhao too weak to speak, Jiang Yu was furious and speechless. Ying Yungui had just finished expressing his feelings when the man turned his gaze to Shi Youchen, who was quietly lowering his head to tend to Ying Yungui's wounds. He licked his lips and spoke cautiously, "Well, these wounds were made with a utility knife I picked up downstairs. They look shallow, but they're not poisonous."

"How many times have you done this?" a clear voice sounded.

"ah?"

"I say, how many times have you done this kind of thing of bribing the association's superpowers?" Shi Youchen's eyelashes drooped.

There were too many wounds on Ying Yungui's body. Except for the fatal parts, the density of the wounds was so high that every one of them would have hit him - he didn't care about being scratched at all, he just deliberately avoided the vital parts.

The tall, thin man stared at Shi Youchen's separated fingers, his fingertips touching the fine knife wounds. He swallowed and said, "I haven't... I haven't done this to anyone else."

"Then why do you think we would accept it?" Shi Youchen lowered his hands, raised his dark eyes and looked at the man, "You no longer have the energy to maintain your supernatural powers. It would be easy for us to kill you."

"As for the conditions you proposed, we can also obtain them by bringing you back to the association. In other words, I trust the association's special investigation more than your so-called confession."

“So, I don’t accept it.”

After Shi Youchen finished speaking, he raised his head and exhaled the heat that had been accumulating for a long time. In the man's eyes, the taut jawline was sharper than the utility knife he had held before, and it pierced his heart fiercely.

He asked foolishly, "Really, you won't consider letting me go?"

Shi Youchen frowned and was about to ask him if there was something wrong with his ears or his brain - Ying Yungui punched him in the stomach.

"Wow..." The man vomited a pool of liquid, wiped the filth from the corner of his mouth with tears in his eyes, and looked at the person who attacked him, "What? Can't you wait a moment?"

Ying Yungui said, "Get on your way soon, reincarnate soon, and remember to be a good person in your next life." Many of his wounds hadn't healed yet, oozing blood. The smell of blood kept his violent temper lingering, not to mention the look in his eyes that truly irritated him.

Ying Yungui opened his palm upwards, and the dagger that had stabbed Jiang Yu floated over and landed steadily in his hand. He raised his foot and stood in front of the fallen loser, looking down at him from above.

Jiang Yu covered Luo Zhao's eyes with his hands, not wanting her to see even the enemy's execution scene.

"Eradication of fugitives" is the obligation of all registered psychics in the association.

Shi Youchen had very little energy left and didn't have any replenishing fluids on him. "Fortunately, it's almost over," he thought.

The fireworks display drew to a close, and the scene on the rooftop of the shopping mall was shrouded in darkness. People crowded and clamored in the square, cheering for the coming New Year, unaware of the bloody battle taking place in the darkness above.

"Don't you want to know where that little girl is?" The man who was about to die was still struggling.

"We'll find her in our own way."

The man bit his lip hard and shouted in the other direction: "Don't do it!" Ying Yungui raised his hand, and the moment the dagger fell -

The last fireworks fell in scattered bursts, but the crowd in the square did not disperse, but instead surged toward the center. From a high vantage point, the scene looked like a swarm of ants swarming toward the wreckage.

The man in the black robe moved, and he crawled up from the blood-stains on the ground. His face hidden under the outer robe was distorted, and bleeding from all five orifices.

Jiang Yu and Ying Yungui froze at the same time.

Shi Youchen was shocked when he saw their expressions.

Unfocused pupils and a wandering state are the primary signs of mental intrusion.

Luo Zhao stood there, leaning against Jiang Yu's side, unresponsive. The man sat slumped to the ground like a bamboo pole snapped in three, looking at Shi Youchen with interest. A man in a black robe dragged himself toward them, his robes falling to the ground and leaving a trail of blood.

"Changing targets before confirming the current target's death is a cardinal sin in psychic combat. Didn't your predecessors teach you this?"

Losing two fighting forces in an instant, anyone would probably be panicked, but after Shi Youchen saw the overall condition of Jiang Yu and Ying Yungui, the man had just finished speaking.

"Ding—" Shi Youchen raised his hand and knocked the dagger out of Ying Yungui's hand, kicking it far away. The dagger fell to the ground and trembled, making a buzzing sound.

The man's face suddenly changed, and then he dragged his broken body and struggled to run towards the man in black robe without hesitation.

The moment Shi Youchen touched the dagger, the scene of a snowy mountain cliff flashed before his eyes. His head, already dizzy from exhaustion, became even more confused, and he missed the best opportunity to stop the man.

Jiang Yu fell unconscious to the ground. Luo Zhao shook him but he didn't wake up, so he simply protected him behind him. Shi Youchen picked up a small piece of wine bottle fragment and raised his left arm. The tip of the fragment scratched the inside of his upper arm, and the sharp pain instantly woke him up.

——Luo Zhao has no combat capability, Jiang Yu is unconscious, Ying Yungui is unconscious, and although the two enemies are seriously injured, they are still able to move.

Shi Youchen suppressed the little remaining energy to prevent it from flowing to the wound, and stood in front of everyone including Ying Yungui, clutching the fragments, facing the two fugitives.

The man had already reunited with the man in black robe. When Ying Yungui's consciousness gradually regained clarity, he happened to hear these conversations.

"You're very smart, but unfortunately, even if you discovered the medium that launched the mental invasion, you couldn't save them."

"Of course, if you offer yourself as a trade, it's not impossible to negotiate."

“…”

"Bah! When my brother wakes up, he'll kill you all!"

"Miss, even if we both die, they will be buried with us."

"How about it, beautiful lady, have you thought about it?"

"You have been preparing for this moment from the very beginning." The cold voice actually contained a hint of trembling.

It was difficult for Ying Yungui to control himself and remain calm after hearing these words, so he took action before he was fully conscious.

The two people on the opposite side were strangled by the throat and thrown into the air, their legs swinging in the air, but they looked very weak due to the serious injuries.

A cold hand grabbed his wrist, "Don't do anything, put them down." Shi Youchen said weakly in his ear.

"?" Ying Yungui tilted his head and looked, not understanding why Shi Youchen said such a thing.

"Be obedient and let go." Shi Youchen looked into Ying Yungui's eyes and said, making sure that he had woken up.

The two men coughed non-stop after landing, and a whirring sound like wind blowing through an empty box emanated from their black-robed throats. The tall, thin man covered his mouth, spat the blood that welled up into his palm, and then wiped it discreetly onto the hem of his clothes.

He laughed arrogantly. "Hey, you're awake? I didn't expect to be able to trap you for long, but I can only say—you're worthy of being a top-tier level 6 fighter."

"But before we do anything, why not take a look over there first?" He raised his chin towards the city square.

Ying Yungui looked over.

The fireworks display had ended a while ago, but the crowds in the center hadn't decreased, but rather increased. It was a strange sight. A closer look revealed the crowds were stacked one on top of the other. People below, people above, the crowds thronging the place, the place overflowing.

In this situation, if someone is pressed at the bottom, there is a 99% chance that he will die.

In case he couldn't see clearly, the man explained, "Days like fireworks festivals are when the crowds are the highest. There was a large-scale stampede and brawl, tsk tsk."

At this point, Ying Yungui realized that the "they" he had just heard did not refer to himself and Jiang Yu - but to the ordinary people watching the fireworks in the square.

The sirens blared and vehicles from the police station, the hospital, and various families rushed to the center.

"You should know that attacks caused by mental invasions are not something that ordinary people can handle."

The man in the black robe laughed, his figure hunched over. Suddenly, he pulled off the black robe that concealed his figure. His face was both gentle and masculine, and heroic and feminine, just like his voice. But without the covering on his figure, it was easy to see that it was a woman's.

"Choose!"

She pointed at the man next to her and said, "Kill him, and the thousands of knives lying there will become visible. Then you will be the ones behind this massive murder!"

She pointed at herself again and said, "Kill me. Once the mental invasion is lifted, with those ants' minds, I'm afraid they'll scare and crush hundreds more people to death!"

Luo Zhao's nose flushed red: "Brother, we've confirmed the situation over there..."

Looking at Shi Youchen's expression as if she had fallen into an icy cellar, Ying Yungui knew that what she said was true.

The woman laughed heartily, looking up to the sky. "It would be even better if we were both killed! A bloody scene with dead bodies scattered all over the ground would drive them crazy! They would all go crazy with me! Hahahahahahahaha!"

The man raised his lip. "If we could take the child and this healing beauty with us, those people could still survive. Time is running out. Make a choice."

"After research and investigation, the mind-invasion ability is now defined as follows: It belongs to the same broad category as biological abilities. Energy fluctuation detection shows that its tactile, visual, and auditory perceptions are all enhanced, with the tactile perception energy increasing most significantly. Auditory perception energy is greatly enhanced in darkness..."

Shi Youchen remembered the information that Lin Zhouze had first shared with him.

"So, no matter where we are tonight, whether we come to see the fireworks display or not, or where we watch it, you will attack."

"Because this is the best opportunity to use mental intrusion."

Shi Youchen's academic performance has always been smooth, but this time, it was an unsolvable problem.
