The heads of those below bowed even lower, as if wanting to cover their ears entirely. But the sound of the board striking flesh and the woman's high-pitched screams made their bodies tremble uncontro..."The tasker, through the existing storyline, raises questions and reveals a hidden quest. Will you accept the hidden quest"
A mechanical voice echoed in her ear.
"Accept!"
Ripple answered very concisely, she came to this place just to complete the mission.
"This world's inhabitants unintentionally released a demon soul. The demon soul was suppressed by the world's power and unable to wreak havoc, but human hearts are the most difficult to control. Someone, driven by their own selfish desires, made a pact with this demon soul."
By shielding the evil spirits, he protects them from being eradicated by Heaven's Will. In return, the evil spirits aid him in his journey to success, granting him power and wealth.
Next is the sound of the stone mill explaining.
"Tsk, that's like asking to be eaten by a tiger."
Ripple let out a cold snort.
In the cultivation world, evil cultivators are always targets to be eradicated. She herself has killed many evil cultivators, otherwise she wouldn't become the top powerhouse of Kunlun Immortal Sect.
“Indeed, this evil spirit lurked here for fifty years. After its contract holder rose to power, it possessed them, no longer bound by heaven's suppression. With a physical body, it began to wreak havoc.”
In the end, this already crumbling nation was plunged into chaos and a Third World War was ignited. As the world teetered on the brink of collapse, Jian Shengzhu reversed time and space, leading to this mission.
The mortar immediately explained.
"I see. Now, where is the one who is with the evil soul"
He hid because Jian Shengzhu made a move, reversing time and space. He was sent back to the moment he just woke up, extremely weak. And it seemed like the other party had noticed something, so he carefully concealed himself.
The stone mill sighed.
This is also why this mission is classified as an S-rank mission, because the Time Management Bureau provides limited assistance, relying entirely on the task executor themselves.
He helped his tasker Ripple take on this mission, firstly because Ripple possessed the hard power to complete it, and secondly because Ripple was a tasker with merit in her deeds. She naturally suppressed evil spirits, making her the ideal candidate for this mission.
"The collapse of this plane was caused by the interference of evil spirits, not a natural evolution. In order to protect the beings of this plane, the Saint Master reversed time and space. This plane was not included in tasks that require special taskers."
After some thought, Shiju decided to explain.
"I understand, now that the other party is hiding, there will always be a day when they show themselves. Looking at the Song family's miserable situation, I estimate that the person related to the evil spirit should be near the Song family."
"And the evil spirit is best at plundering, whether it's luck or lifespan. I will live a good life for the original body and take care of the Song family."
"Okay, if there are any movements from the evil spirits, I will notify you as soon as possible."
The stone mill immediately said.
After understanding the situation, Lian Yi peacefully fell asleep. Although this body appeared fine on the outside, its insides were hollowed out. Otherwise, it wouldn't have followed her son to death after hearing about his misfortune.
When the white light outside the window came, Ripples opened her eyes. She looked at the paper-covered roof and felt a touch of reality. Only then did she slowly get up.
"Mom, are you awake"
Song Qingmei, after Ripples got up, also turned over and sat up.
Ripple nodded, her expression somber, but much better than yesterday.
Song Qingmei opened her eyes, which were bloodshot, and asked cautiously:
"Mom, how are you feeling Does your chest still hurt"
"Much better now. Go make some food first. After breakfast, your older brother will accompany me to the police station. We need to take care of your eldest brother's affairs and give him a proper burial."
Ripple said, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Mom, don't be sad"
Song Qingmei comforted Gan Baba with a dry tone, she didn't know what to say.
"Go call your second brother over. I have something to tell him."
Song Qingmei nodded and immediately went out of the room to make breakfast, and also called her second brother.
R ripples got out of bed, glanced at the small room, and quickly washed up, changing into a new set of clothes.
After the ripples had tidied themselves up, Song Qinchuan also came in.
He also hurriedly washed up and came to see his mother. After entering, he carefully looked at his mother's face and found that she looked much better than last night.
"Mom, you called me."
"Well, I've asked Mei Zi to cook. After dinner, you come with me to the police station. Have Mei Zi and Xiao Hai go to the factory to ask for leave for you. By the way, let's go to Yu's house to tell your sister-in-law."
Ripples said softly.
"Mom, my sister-in-law is already four months pregnant. It's probably too late to tell her now."
Song Qingchuan hesitated for a moment and said.
She is Qingshan's daughter-in-law, such a big thing happened, how could she stand idly by She must be present. We'll take Dabao with us when we go.
With a ripple, she raised her eyelashes and murmured softly.
"I listen to my mom."
Although Song Qingchuan wasn't as decisive as Qing Shan, he could tell right from wrong and always listened to his mother Lian Yi.
The family ate breakfast in silence, then locked the gate and split into two groups, going their separate ways.
After all the Song family members had left, the gate of the next-door household creaked open. A boy of fourteen or fifteen stood there, gazing in the direction where the ripples had vanished, lost in thought. He muttered to himself:
"How come he's still alive"
If ripples could hear this, they would probably be able to guess the other person's identity.
At this time, ripples sat in the office of the town police station with her second son accompanying her, holding the eldest child.
The police officers looked at the elderly and young family members, and after a moment, an elderly person accompanied by a pregnant woman arrived. With a sigh, they then led them to identify the body.
Liàn Yī and Yú Měi Fèng both cried until they were almost out of breath, Dà Bǎo even wailed uncontrollably. The three siblings wiped their tears silently while taking care of the elderly and pregnant woman. It took them quite a bit of effort to finally leave the morgue.
When the ripples calmed and she composed herself, she wiped her tears and asked:
"Officer, have they caught the person who hit my son"
"Got it."
“Then I want him to pay for my son with his life.”
R ripples gritted her teeth, expressing the fury of a mother to the fullest.
"Of course, an eye for an eye, the law will give you justice."
The little policeman spoke righteously and solemnly.
But just then, he was slapped in the face, as a senior officer walked in and whispered two words to him, then addressed Ripple:
"Elderly person, please accept my condolences. The perpetrator's family is also here and wants to meet with you to discuss the follow-up matters."
"Discussing things What is there to discuss Their family killed my son. Do you expect us to just pretend nothing happened Or are the police going to protect the murderer"
If that's the case, I, with my aging bones, will still fight this. I'll appeal to the town officials, and if they don't help, I'll go to the county, then the city, and then the province. There has to be somewhere that upholds the law impartially.
Liàn yī stared daggers at the elderly officer, her eyes blazing with the madness of a mother who had lost her son. It seemed as if she would pounce and bite him to death if he dared to nod his head in agreement. a sense of familiarity. She immediately reached out and pulled it down."This is also a cursed artifact, isn't it"Lien sighed, then remembered that when the original body became a malevolent spirit an...
