Ch. 22 - I'm Too Kind

The convoy sped quickly on the dirt road outside the city.

As time passed by, ice spikes suddenly appeared on the road ahead, completely blocking the way.

The trucks couldn't stop in time and crashed straight into the spikes, flipping over and falling to the ground.

Like a chain reaction, the trucks behind them came to a halt.

"Shadow Pavilion..."

"Zhao Qingyi?"

Several people got off the trucks and nervously gathered together, looking at the shimmering ice spikes not far away under the moonlight, they unconsciously spoke up.

In a nearby tree, a girl in a somewhat old-fashioned white dress stood, expressionless, looking down at them.

Behind the girl was an ethereal ice sculpture.

This sculpture was in the form of a woman.

It exuded a cold chill.

Four light blue gems were embedded in it.

Suddenly, the second gem glowed, and the ice spikes on the ground suddenly shot up, breaking into tiny ice blades in mid-air and descending from above.

"Ice Rain!"

"Damn it, didn't the Church says that Mo Ge wouldn't dare to touch us?"

Several people cried out in despair.

Even though a few awakening items had appeared behind them, they were nothing more than pens, paper, and even a computer mouse.

Moreover, not a single crystal was embedded in them.

The contrast was stark.

In just a few seconds, these people were already lying on the ground, breathless, with expressions of desperation.

The small ice blades were stained with blood, melting and flowing into the soil.

Zhao Qingyi's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, even in the face of the gruesome scene.

She turned around and floated away from the tree.

Then...

Off-balanced, she fell to the ground.

"Ugh..."

She quickly got up and cautiously looked around, making sure that there was no one else nearby. Her expression gradually returned to its icy demeanor as she continued to walk away in the darkness.

The ice sculpture behind her gradually faded and disappeared.

"I just..."

"Did I have a hallucination?"

In the distance, a young man dressed in Mo Ge attire hid in the shadows, observing.

He hesitated a bit and asked

Another companion nodded with uncertainty and said, "It shouldn't be a hallucination, right?"

"My ice goddess..."

For a moment, several Mo Ge youths who had been hiding in the shadows the whole time felt like their child had ended along with Zhao Qingyi's fall.

"The ice goddess---who wouldn't love her?"

"But why the heck did she melt?"

"Whatever, let's go take the supplies."

"If we're late, the team leader will scold us again."

After Zhao Qingyi was wholly gone, they hurriedly ran out, they moved all the boxes from the overturned truck to another one, then got in the car, turned around, and headed back to Baichun City.

On the road.

Zhao Qingyi walked calmly under the moonlight.

Her pace was steady.

In the moonlight, her stunning face was captivating, as if a fairy had descended on the mortal world.

She was ethereal and filled with an aura of divinity.

Especially when paired with the vintage white dress, she appeared even more distinctive.

Soon, one truck after another whizzed past her.

The Mo Ge members driving the trucks didn't glance at her.

As if they hadn't seen a goddess at all.

Zhao Qingyi's figure stiffened for a moment, her mouth twitched slightly, but she still maintained her elegance.

...

"Chief Lin, does Mo Ge really have no sincerity?"

The phone rang.

A raspy voice sounded angry.

Chief Lin reluctantly put down the mouse and responded, "You're talking as if you're a good person."

"Huh?"

"I didn't take action but you let the hostage go?"

"What a bunch of tools you all are."

"Do you really think that by chatting with me for a bit, you're suddenly a cultured person?"

"Still acting all high and mighty."

Chief Lin completely discarded the refined manner he had half an hour ago and started mocking and cursing over the phone.

There was silence on the other end for a while.

Apparently, they didn't expect that the vice chief of a provincial-level Mo Ge branch would have this kind of personality.

"Disgracing our integrity"

"You'll pay the price."

The raspy voice turned cold, and she hung up the phone.

"You can't even have a decent conversation and you still strain your voice."

"Aren't you the master of voice suppression?"

"Dare to come to Jiangbei Province and act all big. Sooner or later, we'll expose you and give you a good beating."

With a chuckle, Chief Lin mumbled a few sentences, then once again focused his attention on the computer screen.

In the pitch-black office, only the computer screen emitted a faint glow, reflecting Chief Lin's somewhat bald head, which was tense and serious.

For a long time...

"Damn it, I lost again!"

"How could I lose to that idiot's phone call?

"!"

"He interrupted my train of thought."

Chief Lin cursed, falling back into the tense atmosphere.

...

"Take action!"

Glancing at his phone, the man in the suit cleared his throat a couple of times, stood up then passionately said, "Brothers, the Divine Servant just sent a message, it says that they've been monitoring us all along!"

"Even the gods are watching."

"This time, we will all become servants of the gods."

"Forever by their side!"

The man in the suit's words were filled with passion.

The others also became excited, shouting, "Forever by their side!"

Their gaze fell on the abandoned factory in the distance.

They were fervent and devout.

"Charge!"

The man in the suit yelled and rushed out first.

The others followed closely behind.

Awakening items appeared around them. Among them, the man in the suit's awakening item was embedded with two crystals.

"What kind of nonsense is this new Divine Servant from the cult?"

"They can't even do proper intelligence work."

"What can these few misfits achieve?"

"Such a waste of time."

From a distance, Luo Tian watched them, his mouth twitching with a hint of dissatisfaction. Behind him, a wolf's shadow emerged.

The first crystal lit up.

The wolf pounced on Luo Tian, merging with him.

In the next moment, Luo Tian's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of the man in the suit.

"Hehe."

"Take this, you son of a bitch!"

Excitedly grinning, Luo Tian's pupils turned blue.

The next moment, he lifted the cook with one hand, tossed him casually, then slammed him into a tree.

Amidst the cries of pain, the cook lay on the ground, unable to get up.

The man in the suit panicked and tried to run.

The remaining beggar continued muttering, "Forever by their side," rushing towards the factory without caring about his life.

"Fine, let's leave one of them to play."

"Let them experience the difference between killing demons and killing people!"

"Tsk, tsk, I'm too kind."

Like a cat catching a mouse, Luo Tian dangled behind the man in the suit, not forgetting to praise himself.
