Sun Dehua narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Are you referring to the headquarters' statement...?"
He was speaking when he suddenly opened his mouth wide, and a dark, ghostly light shot out from it, hurtling towards Fang Xiu's body at incredible speed.
This sudden and unexpected attack would be difficult for most people to defend against, but he was facing Fang Xiu.
The instant the dark light shot out, Fang Xiu had already raised his hand, attempting to block it with his scalpel.
However, the dark light seemed to have no physical form, passing straight through the scalpel and striking the body hard.
It burrows directly into the body without leaving any marks on the skin.
The moment the dark light entered his body, Fang Xiu sensed that it was a consciousness-based attack!
Seeing that he had succeeded in his attack, Sun Dehua immediately smiled with confidence.
"Mr. Fang, this is a death curse that has already entered your consciousness. With just a thought, I can erase your consciousness. Now you can obediently comply. Whether it is the spiritual artifact or this lady, please obediently give them to me."
Oh, by the way, I haven't received the magical artifact yet, so I'll give it to this lady for now.
Madam, you surely don't want anything to happen to Mr. Fang, do you?
Furthermore, Mr. Fang doesn't need to leave; I prefer to have someone watching.
"Fang Xiu, are you alright?" Xiao Chuxia asked with concern.
"Hahaha... It's useless. You've been struck by my death curse. From now on, your life and death are in your own hands, not in the hands of fate. No matter how great Mr. Fang's reputation is, he's at most a second-tier Imperial..."
Whoosh!
A flash of silver light.
Fang Xiu's figure moved like a ghost as he rushed forward with a scalpel.
Sun Dehua sneered and immediately activated the Death Curse, intending to teach Fang Xiu a lesson.
However, when he tried to control the Death Curse, he was horrified to find that the Death Curse that entered Fang Xiu's body was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any reaction at all.
"What!?" He was instantly shocked.
"How can this be...?"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp scalpel was plunged into his neck.
"ah!!!"
A piercing scream rang out instantly, shaking the entire hotel.
Gradually, Sun Dehua died in endless pain.
Of course, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Fang Xiu directly activated the Taotie Maw to devour the spiritual energy within the opponent's body.
38%!
After absorbing Sun Dehua, his spirituality reached 38%, getting closer and closer to the third rank.
At this moment, Xiao Chuxia ran over: "Is he kidding me? Didn't he say you were under some kind of death curse, and that your life and death were now in his hands? How come you died right away?"
Fang Xiu offered no explanation.
In fact, Sun Dehua's abilities are indeed extremely insidious. If it were an ordinary spirit master, once they were afflicted by the death curse, they would basically have no chance of survival.
However, because of the existence of nightmares, he was not afraid of attacks on consciousness. The so-called death curse was directly trapped in the dream he casually wove.
Soon, alarms sounded outside the hotel.
Immediately following was a series of hurried footsteps.
Pairs of heavily armed soldiers rushed over, and when they saw Sun Dehai's brutal death in the room, their expressions changed drastically, and they nervously pointed their guns at Fang Xiu and Xiao Chuxia.
The other spirit masters were also alerted and came to investigate.
"Whoa! Someone's dead!"
"It seems that the one who died was the cursed Sun Dehua."
"He actually died in the room of the prophet Fang Xiu. Could it be that Fang Xiu killed him?"
"This Fang Xiu is really a troublemaker. Relying on his great achievements in solving S-level bizarre cases, he actually dared to kill someone during training?"
"Why is there a woman here? Could it be a crime of passion?"
"Quickly, spread the word! Sun Dehua caught the prophet Fang Xiu having an affair with a woman and was brutally murdered!"
Everyone chimed in with their own comments, some even joking around, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
For spirit masters, death is too common to cause any ripples.
They just wanted to see how headquarters would handle the situation when the prophet Fang Xiu committed a crime.
At that moment, Wen Yang arrived.
He appeared to be staying at the hotel and arrived at the scene in less than three minutes.
"Make way, everyone make way!"
Wen Yang pushed through the crowd and entered the room. Upon seeing the dead Sun Dehua, his expression changed drastically.
"Mr. Fang, what's wrong with you...?"
"I killed him."
Fang Xiu calmly admitted to what he had done.
Seeing Wen Yang arrive so quickly, he already had a vague guess in his mind.
When Wen Yang saw Fang Xiu admit it, his expression grew even uglier: "Mr. Fang, the headquarters has clear regulations that there must be no infighting during the training period, and especially no deaths. You'll have to come with us."
Xiao Chuxia immediately stood up: "Although Fang Xiu killed him, it was because Sun Dehua provoked him first, so he deserved to die."
Seeing Xiao Chuxia stepping forward, Fang Xiu couldn't help but admire her shrewdness.
Her words both exonerated her and protected him.
At this moment, Yang Ming and the others also stepped forward.
"That's right, that's right. Who would break into someone else's room in the middle of the night? It's clearly burglary. Hugh was just acting in self-defense."
"Gentlemen, our enforcement team will investigate the matter. If what you say is true, we will not make things difficult for Mr. Fang. After all, Mr. Fang is a meritorious official, and headquarters will definitely give you an explanation."
"Now, Mr. Fang, please come with us to cooperate with the investigation," Wen Yang said in a deep voice.
Fang Xiu glanced at Wen Yang calmly and immediately understood his purpose: he wanted to take him away. It seemed that everything was a setup.
That's perfect, we can see what tricks Yan Changshou is up to.
"It's alright, I'll go with them for a bit," Fang Xiu said to Yang Ming and the others.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ming and the others assumed that Fang Xiu had foreseen that nothing would happen, so they were all relieved and went back to sleep, displaying a remarkably carefree attitude.
However, before leaving, everyone glanced at the wet bed sheet a couple more times, revealing knowing expressions.
Xiao Chuxia was so angry that her face turned black; she felt that her innocence was completely gone.
Before long, the entire headquarters would know that he and Fang Xiu were having an affair.
Wen Yang took out a pair of dark gold handcuffs made of steel from the soul and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry."
With that, he put the handcuffs on Fang Xiu's hands.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Fang Xiu was taken away.
Once in the car, Wen Yang still looked apologetic.
"Mr. Fang, please bear with me for now. There were too many people around, so I had no choice but to take you back for investigation. Otherwise, it would be difficult to show favoritism in front of everyone. But don't worry, there won't be any major problems."
Given your achievements, and considering that Sun Dehua even came to us voluntarily, I estimate that at most the higher-ups will give you a few words of reprimand, and ultimately label Sun Dehua as having suffered a spiritual breakdown, and that'll be the end of it.
Looking at Wen Yang's apologetic face, Fang Xiu's lips curled into a contemptuous smile.
"I have to say, your acting is terrible."
