"Why do you have to do this?" Ye Xingchen sighed softly. "Think about your son when he was alive. He was innocent, cute, and kind-hearted."
"His departure from this world was all fate. If you hadn't used the Soul-Locking Talisman to forcibly suppress his soul within his body, he might have already been reincarnated, and might even have been reborn into a good family."
"Living like a walking corpse, just like you, killing people and drinking their blood—was that really what he wanted?"
Wang Deyou was stunned again. He couldn't help but think of his son's innocence and cuteness when he was alive. His hands, which had almost turned into bones, trembled.
“Everyone in this world has their own destiny. Whether it’s you or your son, it’s all fate.” Ye Xingchen said, “The words ‘defying fate’ are easy to say, but it’s actually very difficult to truly achieve.”
"If you can't fight against fate, you can only accept it passively, or end your tragic life sooner rather than later. That would be better for you and for him."
"Does he still have a chance... to reincarnate?" Wang Deyou's voice was hoarse.
“Yes, I will find a way to send him into reincarnation, but you can’t.” Ye Xingchen shook his head: “You have committed too many killings. If you die, you will go to the Avici Hell. Are you willing to endure the torment of ten thousand years of punishment?”
“I don’t want to. I’d rather just disappear like smoke.” Wang Deyou murmured, raising his head to stare at Ye Xingchen: “What do you want to know?”
"Where are the Three Heroes of Yinshan?" Ye Xingchen asked, staring at him.
“I don’t know. The third of the Three Heroes of Yinshan only showed his face once. He showed his face to teach me magic.” Wang Deyou said, “I kill people and also search for people born in the Yin time for them. They are used to cultivate and make medicine.”
"They've never shown their faces?" Ye Xingchen frowned slightly. The three Yin brothers really needed to be careful.
“No, the people I deliver them to deliver them to a designated location, and the location is different each time,” Wang Deyou said. “So I don’t know where they are either.”
"However, I learned last time that the three brothers were in seclusion. Now, they should have mastered their evil arts and be about to emerge from seclusion."
"No wonder they haven't shown up all this time; they've been in seclusion." Ye Xingchen muttered to himself, "They should be coming out of seclusion this time, right? That's quite a headache."
"Do you have a grudge against those guys?" Wang Deyou asked.
"There's a bit of a grudge between us," Ye Xingchen nodded and said.
"Hehe, then you'd better be careful. The Three Heroes of Yinshan are people who never forget a grudge." Wang Deyou laughed: "Anyone who offends them, their family and friends, will die at their hands."
"That's none of your concern. Do you have any last words?" Ye Xingchen glanced at Wang Deyou.
"That's it." Wang Deyou sighed, like a deflated balloon, completely devoid of energy.
"Then go ahead. After all the evil you've done, letting you vanish into nothingness is too good for you." Ye Xingchen sneered, pointing with his right hand, and the Crimson Cloud Sword flew out of his hand.
With a whoosh, a sword light flashed across the void, ending Wang Deyou's sinful life.
He fell to the ground, his body quickly withered, and moments later, he turned into a skeleton.
"How is it? Where's Wang Deyou?" Bai Zilin stood up abruptly after Ye Xingchen came out.
"Dead." Ye Xingchen said expressionlessly.
"Dead? How could you let him die? He had dozens of lives on his hands!" Bai Zilin exploded.
"Then what do you want him to do?" Ye Xingchen retorted, "Make him confess?"
"Otherwise what? He hasn't confessed yet, he hasn't been tried by law, what right do you have to execute him on your own?" Bai Zilin was furious.
“First of all, even after he confesses, he will still be executed,” Ye Xingchen said. “Secondly, he is already dead, but his soul is sealed in his body. He keeps his body from decaying by killing people. I destroyed his body to save you.”
"And... even if he confesses, so what? Will it just add a dazzling achievement to your list of accomplishments? And then you'll take him to the execution ground and shoot him?"
"Is this how you see me?" Bai Zilin retorted angrily. "He broke the law, so he should be punished accordingly."
“Then I will punish him on behalf of the law.” Ye Xingchen said, “Miss Bai, since you asked me to take action, you must accept my way of handling things. Otherwise, please don’t call me again in the future, understand?”
"Ye Xingchen, you..." Bai Zilin's face turned pale with anger.
Ye Xingchen was preoccupied with the affairs of the Three Heroes of Yinshan and had no time to pay attention to her. He turned and walked out, which made Bai Zilin stomp her feet in anger.
“Miss Bai, this is how Xuan Yu Pavilion handles problems. Some things are destined not to follow the proper procedures,” Zhang Shihao said helplessly. He took out a business card and handed it to Bai Zilin: “If you have any problems that you can’t solve in the future, you can also contact me.”
"Is the Special Affairs Department nominally under your Xuan Yu Pavilion?" Bai Zilin asked, taking the business card.
“No, we just provide them with some guidance and help them with things they can’t handle.” Zhang Shih-hao shook his head.
"I want to join," Bai Zilin said through gritted teeth.
"You?" Zhang Shih-hao glanced at her in surprise, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, this is much more dangerous than the police."
"I don't care, I want to join," Bai Zilin said stubbornly.
"I can't make that decision. You should ask your bureau chief for permission." Zhang Shih-hao shrugged and turned to leave.
Bai Zilin rolled her eyes in anger. Just then, a police officer ran over and said, "Captain, Wang Deyou is just a skeleton."
"So what if it's a success? What's the big deal?" Bai Zilin said irritably.
Since meeting Ye Xingchen, what bizarre things hasn't she seen? It's nothing more than turning into a skeleton, what's the big deal?
"But... how do I write the report?" The team member scratched his head.
"Write it exactly as it is, report it, believe it or not," Bai Zilin said irritably, pushing aside her team member and walking out.
She's going to the bureau chief right now to write an application; she's determined to be transferred to that special affairs department.
“Your Miss Bai is going to be transferred to the Special Affairs Department. Aren’t you going to try to persuade her?” Zhang Shihao caught up with Ye Xingchen.
"What do you mean 'my Miss Bai'? My relationship with her isn't what you think." Ye Xingchen was taken aback.
“You might not think that way, but she doesn’t. Even a fool could understand the look in her eyes,” Zhang Shih-hao chuckled.
"Stop talking nonsense, let her go if she wants." Ye Xingchen said speechlessly.
“She’s going, and you’ll still have a lot of trouble to deal with.” Zhang Shih-hao shrugged. “I know this situation all too well. Women can be a real pain sometimes.”
"You seem quite experienced," Ye Xingchen smiled, then looked Zhang Shihao up and down. "When you were casting your spell, your energy seemed weak. When were you injured?"
