Scavenger, Beheading and Reattaching

Su Muwan was looking at the man, thinking he must have gone mad from overwork.

Poor guy.

But then, in the next second, you’re blaming me for not destroying the world?

What?!

Are you crazy, or am I?

Why would I want to destroy the world?

If I destroyed it in this life, wouldn’t my rebirth be for nothing?!

Su Muwan felt utterly speechless and turned to Ning Muqing, saying, “What kind of person is this?! Muqing, let’s take a detour!”

Ning Muqing nodded and was about to step on the gas when—

Suddenly.

The office worker suddenly clutched his own throat, his eyes bloodshot, and screamed, “I hate—!!!”

“I hate working—!!!”

The man’s voice was like a piercing shriek, tearing through the air, causing everyone nearby to cover their ears.

Crack! Crack!!

The car windows began to shatter.

Ning Muqing’s expression turned serious as she quickly said, “This is bad, Sister Su! This man’s resentment is too strong—he’s turning into a malevolent spirit!”

A malevolent spirit?!

Come on! I already said we’re all about martial arts now!

Su Muwan shrank back, tugging at Qin Luo’s sleeve. “Qin... Qin Luo! What’s going on here?!”

And!

“Why aren’t you stepping on the gas and getting us out of here?!”

“Oh, right!”

Ning Muqing, also seeing a person turn into a malevolent spirit for the first time, panicked and slammed her foot on the accelerator.

Vroom!

The car roared to life and instantly charged toward the malevolent spirit.

“I hate...!”

Squelch!!

The luxury car ran over the man, making a sickening crunching sound.

Ning Muqing: !!

Su Muwan: ?!

Qin Luo: .....

“Ah!! I—I didn’t mean to!”

Ning Muqing burst into tears, quickly shifting into reverse.

Su Muwan was horrified. “Wait, don’t—”

Splat!

The car backed up, running over him again.

“Muqing!! Stop!”

Vroom!

Splat!

“Ah! The car’s out of control!! I’m sorry!”

“This is actually my first time driving!”

Splat! Splat! Splat!

Ning Muqing covered her eyes as the car repeatedly ran back and forth over the man.

Finally, in her panic, she hit the brakes, and the car came to a stop.

The car fell silent.

Su Muwan’s expression froze.

Her pupils shook as she stared at Ning Muqing in disbelief.

Are you the Grim Reaper or something?!

Ning Muqing lowered her hands, tears streaming down her face as she turned to Su Muwan and the others. “Sister Su... did I... did I just kill someone...?”

Qin Luo looked at the blood-smeared windshield.

Under Ning Muqing’s tearful gaze, Qin Luo cleared his throat and said, “It’s a bit dirty. Use the windshield wipers.”

“Oh, right!”

Ning Muqing instinctively obeyed.

Swish!

As the wipers cleared away the blood, a grotesque face suddenly appeared on the windshield.

It was the office worker!

His face was split in two as he lay on the hood, muttering resentfully, “I hate... I hate so much...”

“Ah—!!!”

This time, Ning Muqing was so frightened that she fainted on the spot.

Su Muwan’s face also turned pale as she covered her eyes and buried herself in Qin Luo’s arms. “Qin Luo! Hurry! Kill him!!”

Qin Luo, however, remained calm.

Holding Su Muwan, he glanced at the windshield and immediately understood what was happening. “Miss, this man was already filled with resentment, and now he’s absorbed some malevolent energy.”

“That’s why he’s turned into a malevolent spirit.”

“Because it has been corrupted by evil spirits, physical means cannot resolve the issue.”

“Is this really the time for explanations?”

Su Muwan was stunned.

At that moment.

Whoosh!!

A whistling sound came from the distance, followed by a series of golden talismans flying through the air.

Snap!!

The talismans stuck to the corrupted man’s body like arrows, hitting their mark with precision.

“Ugh!!”

The man was instantly enveloped in golden light, his body stiffening as if bound by some immense force.

Immediately after.

“Quick! Deal with the evil spirit! Save the injured!”

Several figures clad in black combat uniforms emerged swiftly from the shadows.

They wielded longswords, and the leader among them swung his blade at the corrupted man’s neck.

Splat!

The man’s head flew off and landed on the ground.

Black light splattered everywhere, and dark mist continuously spewed from the gaping wound at the man’s neck.

Meanwhile.

Click!

The car door opened.

A long-haired woman dressed in black combat gear, resembling a medic, approached.

She spoke to Qin Luo and the others inside the car, “Are any of you injured? Don’t worry, the evil spirit has been dealt with.”

Stepping out of the car, Qin Luo held Su Muwan close and surveyed the scene.

Aside from this group, there were many other black-clad operatives scattered across the street, eliminating evil spirits.

The one who had decapitated the corrupted man near them was a cold and elegant woman.

She quickly scanned the surroundings, her gaze eventually settling on Su Muwan, who was nestled in Qin Luo’s arms.

Such intense killing intent…

The woman thought to herself.

But she didn’t say anything more, instead turning to Qin Luo, who seemed more reliable, and said, “The situation is urgent. We’ll handle things here.”

“You should head home immediately.”

She spoke succinctly, then raised her sword, chanted an incantation, and rushed toward the next battlefield with talismans in hand.

Meanwhile, two or three black-clad operatives approached the severed head of the corrupted office worker, which was still spewing black mist.

They first picked up the head, waiting until the black mist had completely dissipated.

Only then did they reattach the head to the neck and place a talisman over the wound.

Three seconds later, they removed the talisman.

A miraculous sight unfolded.

The wound began to heal slowly.

The man’s eyes gradually regained clarity.

He murmured, “I…”

“What happened to me…”

Su Muwan: ???

Wait a minute!

Are you building a Gundam here? You can just reattach a severed head like that?

Qin Luo, however, seemed to understand.

So that’s how it is.

The talismans they used, along with their techniques, only purged the evil spirit from the man’s body without killing him.

Interesting.

The medic nearby, pale-faced after witnessing the scene, remembered her duty and turned to Qin Luo and the others to reassure them. “You must be frightened, but it’s okay. These people were only in the early stages of corruption, so they could still be saved.”

“Ah, you probably don’t know what an evil spirit is, right?”

“You can visit the Martial Arts Alliance’s official website. There’s a button labeled ‘Cleaners’ where you can find more information.”

“Wang City has become very dangerous recently. It’s best for you to stay at home and wait for official updates from us.”

Qin Luo nodded and asked the woman, “So you’re the Cleaners?”

“You specialize in handling these kinds of evil spirit incidents?”

“Yes! I’m glad you understand, but… we’re not responsible for compensating any property damage, just so you know…”

The woman added cautiously.

There had been many instances in the past where people were sued for damaging property while trying to save others.

Qin Luo nodded and fell silent.

He watched as members of the Street Sweepers appeared all over the city.

This world is truly fascinating.

Su Muwan felt warm as Qin Luo held her in his arms.

Apart from the initial shock, she was doing fine now.

She glanced at the dark mist that kept appearing all over the streets.

Patting her chest, she said, "Qin Luo, let's hurry back. I don't want to stay out anymore!"

In her previous life, she had never encountered such things, but in this life... it seemed like everything had come at once.

Could this be the butterfly effect of her rebirth?

"Alright, Miss," Qin Luo replied, looking down at the frightened Su Muwan.

The young lady really is scared of ghosts.

He had originally wanted to witness the fall of Wang City.

But now, he decided against it.

Tonight...

he would deal with that Ghost Cultivation practitioner.
