Chapter 383: Infighting
“Take one more step, and I’ll destroy the mud figurine.” Even though he was cornered, Wan Jie’s eyes were as calm as the sea. No one could guess his thoughts. As the main commander of all the security members in the taboo game, Wan Jie climbed to his position based on not only his reputation but also his strong power. Moments earlier, he could sense the clear changes in the building. Some forces inside his body were rapidly recovering. Even though his ghost tattoo had not fully recovered, he could already mobilise some of its power.
“Hand over the mud figurine! Give it to me!” The grandmother was acting like a demon. The red clothes she wore were frighteningly red like they had been drenched in the blood of the innocent.
“Wan Jie, stop struggling. You’ve reached the end.” Zuo Jun was very clever. He was worried that Wan Jie might come after him, so he let the crazy grandma go first. If Gao Ming had not broken the Door of the Past, changing Everlasting Life Apartments, Zuo Jun’s arrangements would have no issue. However, he could sense his power returning, so he became anxious.
“It’s normal for the false Gods to wish to kill me. I can even understand the horror game players wanting to kill him. However, all of you are also members of the security department. Why would you want my life?” Wan Jie knew everything. He just wanted to stall. “Is Jing Tuoshen worried that I’d fight him for power? That despicable man. Is he not afraid that Han Hai might be swallowed by the shadow once I’m gone?”
“You have to die for your subordinates to survive,” Zuo Jun revealed the cruel truth. “We are the headquarters’ blades. A blade doesn’t need to think. Your biggest mistake is thinking too much and doing too little.”
Wan Jie scoffed. He gripped the mud figurine with one hand. “Do you think you can take over the security members from Xin Lu after killing me?”
“As long as they are humans, they have desires, families and weaknesses.” Zuo Jun didn’t want to waste any more time. He waved his arms. “Bai Xiao, He Jing, kill him!” However, neither of them moved. Zuo Jun’s eyes frosted over. “Have you forgotten what Jing Tuoshen said?”
Zuo Jun sent these two people because they had the power to threaten his position, and they hadn’t fully acquired Jing Tuoshen’s trust. After multiple urges, Bai Xiao finally walked out. There was a giant wound on his arm. The death portrait fragments that were implanted in him had also been sent into Gao Ming’s corpse.
“We meet again.” Wan Jie was slightly taken aback when he saw Bai Xiao. Last time, he threatened Bai Xiao to surrender the knife and join him. Things changed so fast that he was about to die in Bai Xiao’s hands. “Life is so absurd. Have I been abandoned by fate too?”
