You're a Bit Shaky

In the end, Mo Ziang was so furious that he punched again and again, as if he really shattered something, broke through that invisible wall of air, opened the window, and with a perfect 360-degree twist, his body, hanging high above the window, gracefully landed in the ward, his hands raised high as if he were a gymnast finishing a balance beam routine.

Clap clap clap clap clap——!!

Uesugi Akizuki jumped up and down, clapping enthusiastically. She was truly amazed. If not for the bloodshot eyes, her eyes would surely be lively and joyful, like fish darting in a stream.

Su Ze also clapped a few times.

"Hehehe, we meet again," Mo Ziang said with a smile.

His smile was sinister, the curve of his lips sharp, and combined with his pale, sickly face, he looked exactly like the sickly male lead from an anime.

Of course, Su Ze didn't rule out the possibility that Mo Ziang was a real sicko or a genuine psychopath.

You see, the majority of Huaxia Ghost Officers are not graduates from prestigious universities. Most of them come from mental institutions and other worlds, followed by school graduates who are just plain crazy.

"Wow, have you been corrupted by the laws? How did you do that?" Mo Ziang asked, genuinely surprised.

"I forcibly activated the laws within the container," Su Ze explained to Mo Ziang.

Mo Ziang pondered seriously, then pulled out a small notebook and pen from his pocket, scribbled something down, tore off the page, and handed it to Su Ze.

Upon seeing the list of common items like 'black sesame, goji berries, longan...' Su Ze was puzzled, "Can this cure the corruption of laws?"

"No," Mo Ziang shook his head.

"Then what's this for?"

"I noticed you seemed a bit weak. These might come in handy."

"..." Su Ze's face darkened, "I became like this because of the law corruption, I'm not weak."

As Su Ze folded the paper and put it in his pocket, he asked, "Is there any way to cure law corruption?"

"Yes," Mo Ziang casually waved his hand, and Su Ze's eyes widened in shock as he found the laws that were corrupting his body just vanished without a trace!

For Mo Ziang, law corruption was like chewing gum stuck on a table; you just reach out and take it off.

The reason ordinary people can't remove this gum is because they don't have hands.

And Mo Ziang's "hand" is the law itself.

Uesugi Akizuki looked at the two men with confusion, her small hand gripping Su Ze's.

"Why don't you extract the laws from the container for your own use?" Mo Ziang asked, puzzled.

At this point, Su Ze felt a bit helpless and recounted the events.

"When the higher-ups issued the black box, along with the miao blade and the oil lamp, the laws within the oil lamp were sealed."

For an old hand like Mo Ziang who uses laws, he understood instantly, but he seemed a bit lazy, lost in thought, and eventually decided to help Su Ze out.

"Bring the oil lamp here, and I'll help you remove the seal, but don't tell anyone I can remove seals..."

He paused, staring at Uesugi Akizuki, who looked back at him with innocent eyes.

Mo Ziang made a move as if to draw his sword, "Guess I'll have to silence her."

"She won't say anything," Su Ze said, pulling the frightened little witch into his embrace.

"Alright, I trust her. Hurry up and bring it," Mo Ziang said shamelessly, "I've got to hurry back to battle those otherworlders for three hundred rounds."

Mo Ziang only guarded the Blood Moon for a day before hastily leaving, as another spatial gate connecting to another world had opened in China, and he needed to return to guard it.

Su Ze created a clone to head towards the sports car he had driven there. Once the clone reached the car, his main body transferred to the clone, and the wooden box in the car was reflected into the clone's hands in the ward.

The main body at the car's location transferred the wooden box to the clone in the ward, as if swapping positions with the clone, but actually transferring the main body.

The clone disappeared, and the main body, holding the transferred wooden box, stood in the ward.

This surprised both Uesugi Akizuki and Mo Ziang.

Uesugi Akizuki curiously touched Su Ze's head, confirming he was real, but thinking of the clone Su Ze had just created...

Two Su Zes = Double the love!

At this thought, Uesugi Akizuki excitedly clapped and jumped up and down.

Mo Ziang, though a bit surprised by Su Ze's ability, was more flamboyant with his own powers, so he only briefly marveled.

Mo Ziang took the oil lamp out of the wooden box, "Ready to absorb it now?"

Su Ze nodded. Absorbing the laws meant integrating them into his body for his own use.

Just like Mo Ziang, who used the laws to say "clear" and all the ghosts on the street really disappeared, that's the power of a god.

Mo Ziang touched the oil lamp with his finger, and with a bang, the seal shattered, and the vast power of the laws was controlled by Mo Ziang in his hand. The laws were invisible, but it seemed to form a small world in his hand!

The room was instantly filled with a killing aura.

Mo Ziang, along with the oil lamp, waved his hand and directly integrated into Su Ze's body.

The anomaly disappeared in an instant.

Su Ze checked the oil lamp and a not too large, not too small law within his body.

Without any complicated process, Mo Ziang had effortlessly integrated the laws into his body, turning it into his own power. He could feel that he could now control the laws.

"Try not to let others know you possess the laws," Mo Ziang warned solemnly, "Don't get your gear blown up."

With that, he turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

Su Ze thought his analogy was too apt. When the owner dies, the laws do not disappear.

Everyone wants power, so unless absolutely necessary, try not to let others know you have laws.

That's what the oil lamp had said when Su Ze obtained it.

Su Ze went to the bathroom and found that the cracks on his skin had mostly healed, but his full head of white hair had not disappeared. That was because the law corruption had altered his genes, or rather, he had been robbed of a portion of his lifespan.

As an ability user, he wouldn't die of illness but would die from organ failure. The lifespan he had lost was taken away in the form of laws.

Just as God set you to live fifty years, the laws took away some of that, making you live to forty-three. At forty-three, you would die, which was taken away conceptually.

Now that he wasn't dead, Su Ze felt fortunate. Everyone knows the end is death, but does that mean you skip the process?

"It's okay," Su Ze stroked the girl's head, softly comforting the teary-eyed red-haired little witch.

Uesugi Akizuki crouched down, her forehead resting on his palm, relieved and sobbing softly, like a gentle night rain, moistening the earth silently. Su Ze half-squatted, his palm extended, quietly accompanying the girl's tears.

If Su Ze really shattered like Uesugi Akizuki feared, she didn't know what she would do.

Su Ze couldn't remember how long it had been since someone had cried for him. The few who had cried for him were his mother, who had shed tears of joy when he was born, and his brother, who had cried when he shared half of the food Su Ze brought back.

This time, Uesugi Akizuki cried for a long time, sitting on the bed from yesterday, silently shedding tears as she watched Su Ze until now, not daring to cry too loudly.

After an unknown amount of time, Uesugi Akizuki stopped crying. Su Ze crouched down and found the cute, tearful little sweetheart had fallen asleep while crouching.

Su Ze gently picked her up.

Walking slowly out of the building, fearing to wake the cinnabar mole in his arms.
