Chapter 232: If You Cover the Sky with One Hand, I'll Cut It Off
After some hesitation, Wang Ge ultimately decided to go back and think about it, finding Qin Muye's training program too slow.
Qin Muye didn't pay much attention to this. He had given the opportunity, and if Wang Ge didn't seize it, there would be no second chance.
Thinking he could come back and reconsider? Did he really think Qin Muye's place was a gym where he could learn whenever he wanted?
There would be no next time. Even if he knelt down and begged, Qin Muye wouldn't teach him.
After returning to his dormitory, Qin Muye briefly flipped through various books, mostly about history, folklore, and some metaphysical subjects. He didn't find any diaries.
After all, who writes diaries?
Thus, Qin Muye didn't find any records related to his identity.
Just as he finished reading all the books and was thinking about where to dig deeper into his identity, he heard a knock on the door.
He opened the door and found several law enforcers, which made him a bit puzzled.
"Are you Li Yan? You are suspected of intentional injury. Please come with us," one of them said as soon as he saw Qin Muye.
This made Qin Muye narrow his eyes. "Intentional injury? Could you tell me who the victim is?"
"Sun Sangou. You were the one who called the police to arrest him, and you broke his right hand. The Qingxia Security Department has already testified on his behalf," the enforcer said in a businesslike tone.
"Oh, Brother Dog. I see. So, may I ask if what you just said is true?" The beguiling power of the demonic charm surged into the enforcer's mind.
"It's false. Sun Sangou broke his own hand, and the Qingxia Security Department helped to falsify the evidence. I was paid to bring you in and give you a lesson, preferably breaking both your hands," the lead enforcer said, his expression dazed.
The other enforcers were taken aback; they didn't expect their captain to be so straightforward.
"Very well. Now, could you tell me who this Young Master Shi is? How could he have such influence?" Qin Muye casually pulled a chair and sat down.
"He is the eldest son of the Shi family and the heir to the Shi Group."
"The Shi Group's influence spans the entire Purple Flower City, from the governor down to the common people, all under their control."
The enforcer spoke truthfully, but the other enforcers immediately tried to pull him away, only to find they couldn't move.
"I see. A powerful family and a financial dynasty. Hmph, I didn't expect such things to still exist in this modern world," Qin Muye was a bit surprised. He thought this was a modern society, but it seemed these old forces still lingered.
After a detailed Q&A, Qin Muye realized that the Shi family was indeed a powerful family and financial dynasty, but they had achieved their status through policy manipulation and interest exchanges. They lacked sufficient military support, making their power somewhat like a castle in the air.
If he were to take action against the Shi family, it would only take a word from above. However, the interests flowing upward were substantial, and with influential people in the government, they had managed to dominate the region.
"Alright, that's enough. You can go back and tell them the lesson has been given," Qin Muye waved his hand and gestured for them to leave.
The enforcers, in a daze, left under Qin Muye's direction. As for taking him away? Impossible.
Back in his room, Qin Muye's expression was grim. He thought he was already quite petty, but at least he had some self-awareness and knew right from wrong.
In the next moment, he summoned dozens of Gospel spirits and transmitted the information through the demonic network.
"Go and wipe out the Shi family. Leave no one alive, and make it look like they committed suicide by shooting themselves ten times. Leave Young Master Shi alive, though."
Qin Muye believed in the principle of not initiating conflict, but if someone wouldn't let him be, he wouldn't let their entire family be.
"Also, take care of Brother Dog, the Qingxia Security Department personnel, and the enforcers who were paid. Make their deaths as varied as possible, and preferably accidental."
Young Master Shi had never even met Qin Muye. Just because Qin Muye maintained classroom order, he wanted to break his hands?
In that case, it was only fair for Qin Muye to take the lives of his entire family.
As for Young Master Shi, he had to be left alive.
Otherwise, how could he experience the warmth and coldness of human relationships?
His power came not from himself, but from his family. Without his family, he would have no means to be arrogant, and the wealth of the group might not even be secure. It was possible that Young Master Shi would be "suicided" in a few days.
A group of Gospel spirits mimicked their forms and hid their bodies, flying away from Qin Muye's dormitory to take action on their own.
Qin Muye didn't need to provide sufficient information; the Gospel spirits could gather the necessary details themselves. Otherwise, if Qin Muye did everything and just had them execute it, what was the point of having them? The spirits were there to help him solve problems and ease his burdens.
"Upon arrival, I meet such a troublesome thing. Indeed, it's either everyone dies or I'm the only one left. This broken skill is really a curse."
Although it wasn't the first time he encountered a temporary skill, these skills had turned him into a harbinger of disaster. Previously, they were at least targeted at Qin Muye alone, but now they had become indiscriminate attacks.
Despite the description of a group annihilation, this sudden disaster was enough to show that it also had the effect of attracting trouble.
His predecessor, Li Yan, didn't have so many troubles; every day was just about going to and from classes, living a rather peaceful life.
So it was definitely the temporary skill's fault; otherwise, there wouldn't be such misfortune.
"Sigh, it's really hard to be a good person. With all these powerful families and financial dynasties, can't there be a more straightforward setting?" Qin Muye sighed.
He always felt that this seemingly modern technological society might not be that simple. There might no longer be things like warlords, but extraordinary powers seemed to exist.
Using a computer as a medium, Qin Muye used the demonic network to extensively invade and gather information from the world's networks.
Soon, Qin Muye found some scattered pieces of information, but the network's security was still very strict.
Truly classified information was unlikely to be on the internet; instead, it was physically disconnected and formed internal networks or local networks, using two separate systems. Therefore, Qin Muye couldn't use the demonic network to access these physically disconnected devices.
As for the dark web, he found quite a bit, but it wasn't the kind of network where extraordinary beings gathered. Instead, it was filled with dark transactions like extreme performances and human trafficking.
There were a few clues, and he filtered out information related to shadows, such as "the shadow came to life."
Unfortunately, the video was no longer available; it seemed the data had been forcibly cleared, so he couldn't see it.
"The World of Ten Thousand Shadows must be related to shadows, but I don't know the specific connection," Qin Muye found this a bit peculiar.
Shadows, in reality, were just optical phenomena where objects blocked light, creating darker areas where light couldn't pass through opaque objects.
There was nothing special about it, and he had studied it. His shadow was just a shadow, and the same went for others.
"Maybe there's something I don't know about."
This world seemed to have no energy environment, but who knew the actual situation?
When it was time to act, one shouldn't hesitate, but when it was time to be cautious, one shouldn't act recklessly.
Families like the Shi family, which could bring trouble, needed to be eliminated. However, extraordinary beings might involve powerful entities, so caution was necessary.
The loss of the Shi family might be a big deal locally, but at higher levels, it would be a minor issue. It would be like a skeleton soldier dying in Qin Muye's territory; the news wouldn't reach him, and he would simply replace it with another skeleton soldier.
The living Shi family might have had significant status, but the dead Shi family would likely have even less, with everyone vying for a share rather than seeking revenge.
Especially the governor and wealthy merchants, they wouldn't miss such a large piece of the pie. The former would regain power and no longer be a puppet, while the latter would acquire the inheritance and advance further.
As for the cause of death, someone would investigate, but that wouldn't be their concern.
If they came after Qin Muye, he would simply use the demonic charm to ensure they would report that he had no suspicion.
"This history seems a bit off?" Qin Muye thought. Since he had no leads, he decided to look into history and folklore.
Surprisingly, he did find some issues.
Others might not notice, but he sensed a certain disconnection, as if something had been erased from the entire history.
For example, extraordinary beings!
