Chapter 6 Only the dead obey.
After using his disguise skill, Yu Xunge used cash to buy various tools needed for alchemy, as well as weapons such as bows, crossbows, long knives, and electric batons.
On this day, she also discovered more features of the skill that "only the dead obey".
When she kept the thrush quietly on the table without moving, it only consumed 2 points in 12 hours, but the dead thrush already had a faint smell.
It seems that while this skill can keep the deceased mobile, it cannot stop the body from decomposing.
That evening, Yu Xunge drove to a shopping mall near Liu Hongsheng's house. Then, in the restroom, she used skill 4 of her Thief God talent, "Armor Come!", to change into another set of clothes stored in her game backpack before leaving the stall. Looking at the completely unfamiliar woman in the mirror, she couldn't help but gasp. Game talent skills were indeed the most unscientific existence.
Not only have her height and face changed, but even her hair has become shorter.
Yu Xunge hailed a taxi and arrived at Liu Hongsheng's apartment building in just 7 minutes. Her thrush had been following Liu Hongsheng ever since he left the company after get off work that day. Although she didn't understand why he hadn't gone back to the villa, Yu Xunge didn't care.
Yu Xunge gave the driver cash and got out of the car.
Three minutes later, Yu Xunge rang Liu Hongshan's doorbell.
The woman who opened the door was alluring and passionate, wearing a sexy spaghetti strap nightgown. She glanced at Yu Xunge and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Yu Xunge said in a serious tone, "I'm looking for my boss, Liu Hongsheng. I have some urgent work-related matters to report."
The woman nodded, opened the outer door and let her in. Her expression was unreadable. There was the sound of water coming from the bedroom, so Liu Hongsheng was probably taking a shower. Yu Xunge said, "Can I wait for him in the study? Just tell him that an agent surnamed Liu has something important to discuss with him, and he'll understand."
The woman seemed to have a good temper; after leading Yu Xunge into the study, she even poured her a glass of water.
Yu Xunge stood behind the door, took out the stun gun from her spatial storage and held it in her hand. She felt only excitement and no fear. Sometimes she wondered if she was born with a love for adventure. Otherwise, when she had walked between life and death countless times in her previous life, she only felt excited and not in pain.
Soon, the sound of water stopped, and the voices of men and women began to talk. After a while, someone walked towards the study.
The door opened, obscuring Yu Xunge's figure. After the familiar figure entered the study, Yu Xunge closed the door with her left hand and pressed the stun gun in her right hand against Liu Hongsheng's neck.
A few seconds later, the man convulsed and collapsed. Yu Xunge turned the stun gun to its maximum power and pressed it against Liu Hongsheng's chest without letting go. Five minutes later, the man stopped moving. Yu Xunge tried to use the skill "Only the dead obey" on Liu Hongsheng. The next second, Liu Hongsheng opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat dazed.
She manipulated Liu Hongsheng to stand up, then had him escort her out of the study, bidding her farewell under the woman's gaze.
Yu Xunge had 17 minutes left to keep her disguise until she got into a car heading to a nearby shopping mall.
With her eyes closed, she manipulated Liu Hongsheng to say goodbye to the woman, and then had Liu Hongsheng send a text message to Liu Zhengliu, asking her to meet him in his office.
...
Liu Zhengliu was buying wine, pondering where he could conveniently invite Yu Xunge for drinks tomorrow while also extricating himself from the situation.
To be honest, Yu Xunge treated her really well. She had a high salary and good benefits, and even after she became famous, he didn't kick her out. But there was no profit sharing. Top agents could get a share of the artists' profits, and every time she asked, he refused.
Liu Zhengliu didn't want to betray Yu Xunge, but Liu Hongsheng's offer was too good to pass up. As long as he could keep Yu Xunge under his control, he would make her specialize in currying favor with the company's partners. Not only would he give her a share of the money she earned, but he would also arrange for her to mentor a few of this year's new talent show contestants...
Just as I was imagining the future, I received a text message from Liu Hongsheng.
Liu Zhengliu had no doubts. Both of them were seasoned veterans; they wouldn't leave written messages for such conspiracies, which were usually discussed face-to-face.
She carried the wine and her bag back to the company. There were still a dozen or so young men working overtime. Liu Zhengliu smiled at them and even ordered them a late-night snack in front of them before walking into Liu Hongsheng's office amidst their thanks.
Yu Xunge did not have the fetish of manipulating a corpse to have relations with an enemy. After Liu Zhengliu entered the office, she manipulated Liu Hongsheng to put a knife into Liu Zhengliu's hand.
Liu Zhengliu was still bewildered: ?
Then she watched as Liu Hongsheng gripped the handle of the knife tightly with his cold hands and forcefully stabbed it into his own stomach.
In her extreme fear and panic, Liu Zhengliu couldn't even scream. She just stared blankly as the already cold blood slowly seeped from the cut and slid down her hand.
Just as Liu Zhengliu was overloaded with pig brains, Liu Hongsheng suddenly clutched his stomach, where a knife was stuck, and ran out, staring at Liu Zhengliu in terror as he ran, making terrified "Ah—ah!!" sounds.
Liu Zhengliu felt like it was all a dream, and he didn't dare to move whether he was awake or not.
Yu Xunge's mana was dropping like water, using up almost 1 point of mana every minute. Now he only had 3 points left, but that was enough.
After clutching his stomach, Liu Hongsheng ran past a dozen interns, walked to the window, and after confirming that no one was downstairs, jumped out.
...
Yu Xunge clutched her head, which was spinning from depleting her mana. Although she had no shortage of mana potions, she could wait for it to recover automatically while she was at home. It would recover one point per minute and be fully restored in a little over three hours. If she continued to eat meat, it would recover even faster, with 5 points of health and mana recovering per minute.
The next day, Yu Xunge was awakened by the doorbell. When she opened the door, there was a security guard and a male and a female police officer standing outside. Yu Xunge controlled her thrush to fly outside and wait, but with just the right amount of surprise on her face, she invited the two police officers inside.
After pouring two glasses of water for the two guests, the police asked her if she knew about the relationship between Liu Hongsheng and Liu Zhengliu.
Yu Xunge pursed her lips, silently expressing her resistance.
Only after repeated questioning from the police did she say, "I know, and I also know that Liu Zhengliu was trying to scheme against me."
She could pretend not to know, but that wouldn't explain her unusual behavior these past few days. Not only did she take three days off in a row, acting like a diva, but this homebody was living alone in her villa. Regardless of whether the police had investigated that thoroughly, she would assume they already knew this information.
The two police officers were clearly trained in managing their expressions; nothing was outwardly apparent. However, after asking questions for about ten more minutes, the two were about to leave when Yu Xunge finally asked, "Excuse me, what did they do to be arrested?"
The police gave her the official answer and told her to wait for further notice.
In the afternoon, Yu Xunge received a call from Yu Qingshan. Yu Qingshan's voice was gentle and kind on the phone. He asked her if she had encountered any difficulties, cared about her health, and told her to rest if she was tired.
Yu Xunge has acted in so many dramas, and her voice was choked with emotion but also showed strength. She said that she was indeed tired and needed to rest. It seemed that her agent and company were also in trouble, and all her money had been invested, so she was under a lot of pressure.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, before the call even ended, a million dollars was transferred over: "Daddy's rich, sweetie, take it and spend it!"
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xunge stood expressionless by the window, looking at the lake not far away.
Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan are like top-notch anglers. When they want big fish, they use the best bait and occasionally let out a long fishing line to make the fish lower their guard.
