Red Crowned Celestial Palace.

In an office on the third floor.

Dai Shihua sat in her long-desired seat, holding a phone, her face solemn as she issued orders.

Ever since the emergency incident occurred yesterday, she naturally became the temporary leader.

Although she was just a temporary leader, her biggest competitor was dead. With her connections and influence, as long as she stabilizes the situation, her position could be solidified, and she could become the official leader.

Thinking of this, a slight smile of pleasure appeared on Dai Shihua’s lips:

“That guy really is just a brute.”

“Although it’s a pity we couldn’t catch him, he did help me eliminate my biggest competitor, and he did it while that old man was in charge, so he’s still a useful tool.”

“Hmph! Just a kid in his teens, flaunting some superpowers, acting lawlessly, but isn’t he just manipulated in the end?”

“It’s just a pity he’s too murderous, and I don’t know why he’s protecting Zhan Shijie. Otherwise, if I could secretly dispose of Zhan Shijie and replace him with my person, things would be even more secure.”

“Speaking of which, Zhan Shijie shouldn’t find out about me that easily, right? Moreover, under such circumstances, he shouldn’t have a reason to do so. Once he implicates me, and if Su Xin goes on a killing spree again, it would damage the entire Celestial Kingdom’s reputation and interests.”

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed a young man in casual clothes sitting opposite her—it was Su Xin.

Even with her many years in a high position and self-proclaimed excellent psychological quality, Dai Shihua was startled by Su Xin’s sudden appearance and stammered:

“Mr…. Mr. Su!”

Su Xin tossed the files in his hand onto the desk, saying lightly:

“Take a look at this, see if there’s any discrepancy with your investigation results.”

Dai Shihua barely steadied her emotions, picked up the file and read it, but as soon as she started, her eye began to twitch uncontrollably, her whole body growing increasingly rigid, and her heart colder.

“Why aren’t you speaking? Is this your admission?”

Su Xin looked at her expressionlessly.

Dai Shihua’s hands started to tremble, her face turning pale.

She wasn’t usually someone with such poor psychological resilience. No matter the struggle, even if at an absolute disadvantage, she wouldn’t be this afraid.

The problem was—

The person sitting across from her was Su Xin.

According to the intelligence department’s personality profile of Su Xin, he was someone who acted insanely, without clear moral constraints, a madman who disregards rules.

Upon seeing this file, Dai Shihua guessed that she might not live past today, even if she provided strong evidence to defend herself, as long as Su Xin had any suspicion, he might very well kill her.

Moreover, she didn’t have clear evidence to completely clear her own suspicion.

This was far worse than the usual political defeat, leaving her with no choice but to be afraid.

“Mr. Su, I have something to say!”

“I mentioned to Mr. Su last time, Zhan Shijie is of the former president’s faction, actually in opposition to me…”

Su Xin waved his hand to interrupt her:

“Then who do you say is the mastermind? Is there a detailed report of the investigation?”

“It’s the former president.”

Dai Shihua asserted: “He sees Mr. Su’s existence as a serious challenge to the Celestial Kingdom’s authority, compounded by Mr. Su’s demands, so he has always been dissatisfied with Mr. Su.”

“But he didn’t dare openly oppose Mr. Su, so he pretended to agree to all of Mr. Su’s conditions while secretly arranging an attack.”

“The Security Defense Bureau secretly colluded.”

She took a file out of the drawer and solemnly handed it to Su Xin.

Su Xin casually flipped through it, finding that it detailed the entire attack incident, though every key point implicated people from the former president’s faction.

“It seems fine.”

Su Xin nodded.

Just as Dai Shihua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Su Xin continue:

“Since you are all masterminds, I’ll send you to reunite below.”

“Wait!”

Dai Shihua quickly exclaimed.

But Su Xin ignored her, conjuring a short knife and slitting his throat.

Dai Shihua, full of terror, clutched her throat tightly, trying to stop the blood from leaving her body, but under the strong arterial pressure, streams of blood continued to gush out through her fingers.

Su Xin didn’t pay attention to her, he merely closed his eyes quietly. When Dai Shihua’s life completely left her, he had already entered the stealth state.

The reports from Zhan Shijie and Dai Shihua not only recorded the entire incident’s details but also contained information on those responsible for the action.

Although Su Xin couldn’t tell which of the two was truthful, he only needed to kill everyone mentioned in both reports, and there wouldn’t be any problem.

Two of them were also at the Red Crowned Celestial Palace.

Using the Super Sensing Sketching ability, Su Xin searched the Red Crowned Celestial Palace and based on the photos and positions in the data, he found his targets.

In the stealth state, Su Xin could only sense using Super Sensing Sketching and couldn’t observe with his naked eye, so the Hostile Gaze ability didn’t activate.

But it didn’t matter.

In such a place, Su Xin didn’t have to worry about accidentally hurting ordinary people, randomness was fine.

“Damage Transfer, Chain Attack on five!”

With a thought, Su Xin powerfully slashed his own throat with the knife.

The target died, their face full of terror.

Then he applied the same method, killing five more people in the Red Crowned Celestial Palace, and finally left as he pleased.

…

An hour later.

Having roamed several cities and killed dozens, Su Xin finally found Zhan Shijie in an office building.

“Director Zhan, take a look.”

Su Xin tossed the documents Dai Shihua handed him onto the desk casually.

Zhan Shijie picked them up and glanced at them, his already furrowed brows furrowing even more:

“You’ve obviously killed Dai Shihua and the others, so why kill our people too? And now you’re coming after me? What exactly are you trying to do?”

“Nothing much. Since you all accuse each other of being the mastermind, and I can’t distinguish between you, I’ll simply kill you all. That way, it’s fair to you, and I don’t have to rack my brains over it.”

Su Xin shrugged his shoulders and calmly asked:

“Any last words?”

Zhan Shijie gazed deeply at Su Xin, his expression changing for a long time before he spoke with a sense of weariness:

“Don’t destroy this world.”

Su Xin said nothing, manifested a short knife, and slashed it across his neck.

Watching the other die, Su Xin teleported away, soon returning to the hotel.

Now, he could basically conclude that the Celestial Kingdom was the mastermind behind the first attack. He had also killed many important figures from the Celestial Kingdom, so in a sense, he had exacted his revenge for the first attack incident.

As for the mastermind behind the second attack, the Nirvana Association, he still needed to find an opportunity to deal with them.

But not today.

Because, after several days, the system task was about to be triggered again.

It was almost five o’clock, and Su Xin sat expectantly on the living room sofa, quietly waiting as time ticked by.

Soon, the time turned to five in the afternoon.

However, the system prompt was absent.

“Huh? What’s going on? Could it be I miscalculated the date? That shouldn’t be!”

Su Xin opened the calendar app.

November 7th.

His last triggered task was on November 1st, and the completion date was November 2nd.

According to the previously summarized pattern, if the task was completed on the same day, the next task should trigger on November 4th, with a three-day interval.

If the task was completed on November 2nd, the interval should be six days, but not counted from the completion day, rather from the day the task was triggered, counting forward six days.

Which is November 7th.

“Then it should be correct.”

“It was the same last time as well.”

“Where exactly did it go wrong? Could there be other hidden conditions?”

Su Xin scratched his head in bewilderment.

“It can’t possibly be due to the location issue, right? I was in Lening City in Wanghai Country before, now I’m in the Celestial Kingdom… Wait!”

Realizing this, Su Xin suddenly understood.

“I almost forgot about the time difference!”

“Previously in Lening City, the system task was triggered around five in the afternoon there, which equals early morning the next day in the Celestial Kingdom.”

“That means around five in the morning.”

Su Xin couldn’t help but chuckle at his own foolishness.

For the past few days, he’d been eagerly waiting to trigger a new task, completely forgetting about the time difference, subconsciously thinking he was still in Lening City.

However, after waiting so long, now realizing he had to wait for about twelve more hours, Su Xin suddenly felt a bit bored.

He was numb from making donations before.

He couldn’t upgrade anymore right now.

He simply began to consider how to deal with the Nirvana Association——

The Nirvana Association was well-hidden, with even the Celestial Kingdom and Yonghui Financial Group unable to locate their headquarters. He likely couldn’t find it on his own either.

Especially since his identity was now quite renowned, exposing so many superpowers, the whole world knew how strong he was. Nirvana’s members would surely avoid him, not daring to appear before him.

So, looking for them directly would be difficult.

“Right, the Nirvana Association has many Superpower Users, and they are quite keen on capturing them.”

“If I assume a new identity and accidentally display a new Superpower, maybe I can lure their people out.”

“Then pretend to agree to join them, infiltrate their lair. Even if I can’t get in right away, at least I could find more of their members.”

Su Xin gradually had an idea in mind.

During this entire time, even though he exposed his identity and several Superpowers, some powers were deliberately concealed.

For example, Other-Transformation, Self-Deception, and Sword God Slash.

Of these, Other-Transformation and Self-Deception were inherently very covert, and their use wouldn’t attract attention.

As for Sword God Slash, he deliberately obscured it.

Including when he upgraded Sword God Slash during the second attack the day before yesterday, obtaining the Frenzied Slash feature and using it only once to destroy those dozens of drones, subsequently killing both agents who witnessed it, leaving no survivors.

In reality, he had already considered living with a new identity, using some powers never showcased as a trump card for that identity.

Now thinking of the Nirvana Association, he immediately thought of using this method to draw out the opponent.

Conveniently, the Nirvana Association had numerous Superpower Users, allowing him to achieve a bait-and-switch effect.

After roughly deciding on the plan, Su Xin set this matter aside, beginning to clasp his hands together repeatedly, accumulating Space-Time Marks.

And thus, time slowly passed by.

Again and again, experiencing death and resurrection.

No telling how much time passed——

“Ding! Task triggered [Beyond Limits]”
