Fang Zhiyi did not dodge, still staring straight at Shen Yan, then the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.
Shen Yan felt an inexplicable sense of fear. Why was there such a strong feeling of unease?
Fang Zhiyi muttered something under his breath, but none of them could make out what it was.
"Hahaha! Done! System, capture..." Wu Lei's words were cut short as he witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life. A massive black creature appeared out of thin air, its body writhing, from which several tentacles extended and tightly wrapped around his own system!
The system struggled, but it was useless. It could hardly resist Little Hei's power and was instantly dragged into Little Hei's body.
"You... what are you!" Wu Lei stared in terror at this bizarre creature. Little Hei suddenly extended a tentacle and pointed downward. Wu Lei looked down, and instantly his mind went blank.
Fang Zhiyi, who had already fallen dead, was still holding the phone used for livestreaming, and at this moment, the phone's camera was pointed directly at his own face!
Wu Lei saw the viewer count on the livestream. He suddenly understood why Fang Zhiyi had been stalling for time—he was boosting the stream's popularity! The livestream had now surpassed a thousand viewers, meaning a thousand people had witnessed his act of murder!
"Good heavens! The streamer's dead!"
"Murderer! Murderer!"
"I took screenshots! Call the police! Quick, call the police!"
"Fck fck fck fck fck!"
Wu Lei smashed the phone in a panic, turned, and fled. This place wasn't safe. There were ghosts, a weird creature. He had to get out of here fast!
Little Hei did not give chase, merely digesting the system at a leisurely pace. Shen Yan couldn't see Little Hei, just gave Wu Lei, who was fleeing, a strange look, cursed him as a lunatic under his breath, then lowered his head to gaze at Fang Zhiyi's corpse.
What a pity. The bit of fun he'd finally found today was gone.
"You scared me to death, hehehe. Too bad I'm already dead," Shen Yan said, looking down at Fang Zhiyi's corpse. The other vengeful spirits also gathered around. A living body still held allure for them, but it was clear Shen Yan wouldn't let any of them have a chance at reincarnation by possessing it. After all, it was this madman who had killed everyone back then.
"I thought you really had some incredible means to deal with me. Turns out you were just a pathetic wretch..."
Shen Yan's words were cut short.
A plume of black smoke suddenly rose from behind Fang Zhiyi, followed by something that twisted like a strip of cloth coiling upward. The sudden change stunned the vengeful spirits.
They knew some people became ghosts after death, but they had never seen a sight like this before.
A twisted figure gradually took shape, twice as tall as any of them, almost reaching the ceiling. Then the thing slowly morphed into a humanoid form, its two arms extremely long and slender, just like claws.
Then, the heads of two of the ghosts were grabbed.
Shen Yan saw those same staring eyes again and heard a sinister voice.
"I do have a few tricks up my sleeve. You'd better have some too."
Shen Yan swore that since becoming a ghost, he had never witnessed such a brutal scene. His underlings were being crushed by Fang Zhiyi as easily as chicks. Two even had their heads torn off and thrown away.
Though he didn't understand why, a voice inside Shen Yan kept telling him to run.
He ran. To his relief, he escaped, because thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky. Immediately after, Shen Yan watched as a bolt of lightning struck that terrifying ghost before him, even making it shrink in size.
Only after the thunder ceased did Fang Zhiyi reform his shape.
"All done?"
Little Hei patted itself. "All done. That was too risky this time."
Fang Zhiyi shrugged. He had no choice. Since he knew his destined fate was to die here, naturally he had to choose a method within his professional expertise. He just hadn't expected it would also draw pursuit from the Heavenly Dao. If not for Little Hei, he would have been truly finished.
"Do you think this method will work?"
Little Hei looked him over. "It should. They'll temporarily think you and that Tasker perished together." It paused. "It's rare to hear of the Quick Transmigration Bureau being able to track a single ghost."
Fang Zhiyi was amused. "Hehe, then I'm going to have some fun."
"Don't get cocky. The Heavenly Dao of this world can really strike you dead."
"I know." Fang Zhiyi squatted down, reaching out to stroke his own body. "What a pity. Died so young."
He stubbornly attended his own funeral from start to finish.
At the same time, he saw the news. The murder witnessed by a thousand people made headlines. One major consequence was that Wu Lei became the most wanted fugitive, though he hadn't been caught yet.
Zhao Manqi was currently buried in books on folklore and the supernatural. That night, she was sure she hadn't been seeing things! The streamer's camera was full of ghosts! She had been terrified at the time.
Thinking of Fang Zhiyi's fate, she felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. That guy totally deserved it!
Because Fang Zhiyi's death was exposed before a thousand pairs of eyes, the impact was huge. The video of her forcing Fang Zhiyi to go to the abandoned school was also spreading like wildfire.
"It's this girl. She wouldn't leave the streamer alone. She showed up every time he started a stream."
"I was there. This girl seemed mentally ill, insisting on connecting with the streamer."
"Stalker fans are terrifying. Didn't expect a small streamer to have them too."
"This girl looks quite pretty, but who knew she was a lunatic."
"The streamer only agreed to go to get rid of her."
The current narrative was: Zhao Manqi, unable to have Fang Zhiyi's love, harassed him obsessively and ultimately played a key role in causing his death. The murderer had been apprehended, but Zhao Manqi was still walking around free!
Different from the original plot, where Fang Zhiyi's death didn't cause much of a stir and netizens had mixed opinions, this time was different. Everyone knew it was Zhao Manqi who pestered Fang Zhiyi and finally pushed him to his death!
"Murderer!"
"Lunatic!"
"Apologize!"
Zhao Manqi wasn't new to arguments, but this was her first time experiencing cyberbullying. Her photo was now all over the internet. Some influencers hopping on the trend also started taking sides and condemning Zhao Manqi. No matter how self-centered she was, she couldn't take it anymore. In a fit of rage, she smashed her phone, only to be fired by her company immediately after, citing her poor character and negative impact on the company's image.
Zhao Manqi was furious. What did any of this have to do with her!
But everyone had heard Fang Zhiyi's last words before he died.
"Zhao Manqi, are you satisfied now?"
The dead command respect. Any explanation Zhao Manqi offered now would be seen as an excuse. Fang Zhiyi had used his life to slap a negative debuff on her, one that couldn't be cleansed.

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
