Chapter 100: Qu Kangping’s Fishing Technique

In the real world.

Qu Kangping hurriedly left the old house and pulled out his phone to make a call.

"Immediately gather all the bigwigs in the city... Oh, don’t hold the meeting in the city. Have them come to Huang Jia Town to see me.

Don't negotiate or give me any excuses. Everyone must come to Huang Jia Town right away. This concerns the survival of our entire country, even the whole human race. What could be more important than this?

I won’t repeat myself.

Immediately, right now."

Qu Kangping hung up.

Ah Jian looked at Qu Kangping, his expression unchanged. Having been with Qu Kangping for so long, he had grown accustomed to Qu Kangping's decisive nature, no matter what he did he was always vigorous and resolute.

Qu Kangping pulled out a cigarette, and Ah Jian immediately handed him a lighter.

"Team leader, why the urgency this time? Didn’t I already send someone to investigate?"

"Fuuu—" Qu Kangping exhaled a cloud of smoke. "Ah Jian, do you remember the talent I unlocked in the weird world?"

"Hmm... it has something to do with enhanced intuition, right?"

"An S-class talent, the Eye of Clairvoyance. It helps enhance my intuition and passively avoid danger. By the time I reached the second dungeon, I had gained a new ability to turn this passive skill into an active one, creating illusions for weaker beings."

"So..."

"Ever since I left the weird world, I haven't been able to use the Eye of Clairvoyance. My intuition became dull, only working in extremely dangerous situations.

However, after coming to this old house, my intuition peaked once more. To my surprise, I could actively control my talent again.

The weird power of this house allows you to use the skills learned in the weird world.

Gu Yi was right; there is a mapping relationship between the real world and the weird world. I briefly sensed Gu Yi when I was on the third floor.

My intuition tells me that Gu Yi might be in grave danger. We don’t have the time to slowly gather evidence and investigate bit by bit. We must act swiftly and apprehend all the culprits directly."

Ah Jian clenched his teeth, voicing his concern.

"Team leader, killing those villagers might be seen as self-defense, but if you kill officials without concrete evidence..."

"I will bear all the consequences," Qu Kangping declared. "If I get dismissed because of this, then you take over my duties as team leader. After all, you were once an adventurer too."

"Team leader..."

"That’s enough, there's nothing more to discuss."

Qu Kangping extinguished his cigarette, leaning against the fence of the old house, lost in thought.

People often say that Qu Kangping is arrogant and domineering. But how many know of his deep hatred for the weird world, for the zealous followers of the Director, and for those who slander adventurers?

Ah Jian had also ventured into the weird world.

Having experienced the fear of facing its mysteries alone, Ah Jian understood Qu Kangping’s sentiments even more – he didn’t want others to experience that same sense of despair.

The weird world is ever-changing, and opportunities are fleeting. Ah Jian had to admit that while Qu Kangping's current choice might not be legal, it is the most correct.

Such actions would inevitably lead to baseless accusations, endless misunderstandings, and even imprisonment.

However,

They didn’t have the energy to explain.

They didn’t have the time to explain.

More so ever they felt no need to explain.

The sun had set.

A bus parked in front of the old house. Hu Chang, leading a group of officials, approached Qu Kangping.

"Team leader, everyone is here."

Qu Kangping looked at the group, discarding the half-smoked cigarette from his hand.

Hu Chang glanced down and noticed that there were at least a dozen cigarette butts by Qu Kangping’s feet.

"Follow me inside."

Qu Kangping waved and led everyone into the old house.

Everyone pinched their noses in disgust as they entered the dilapidated house.

"It's so dirty here."

"Could there be any weird creatures inside?"

"Why did you bring us to this place?" a short man exclaimed, holding his nose. "It stinks, and I have other work to attend to."

Qu Kangping raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"Hey, we're not adventurers. We're just ordinary people."

"Yeah, calling us to such a haunted place at this time, it’s damn unlucky..."

Slap! Slap!

Qu Kangping stepped forward, slapping the two back-talkers.

He had already used his Eye of Clairvoyance.

In his eyes, both of these smart-mouthed guys were just blockheads. This meant reasoning with them was useless; only violent methods could make them submit.

"I don’t have time to explain. All of you, line up. I'm going to inspect each one of you."

Qu Kangping, with his eyes wide open, walked in front of each official.

Some emitted a golden aura, indicating they were upright and kind-hearted.

Others radiated a blue glow, indicating they hated evil passionately.

Yet some emitted a purple light, indicating their exceptional luck and fortune.

After inspecting everyone, Qu Kangping was looking for the person emanating a red glow.

A red glow signifies a multitude of sins and an intense murderous aura.

Hu Chang leaned towards Qu Kangping, "Team leader, how is it?"

"Didn't find."

"What?"

"Then we'll have to kill them all."

"Eh? What are you talking about?"

Qu Kangping beckoned to Ah Jian and drew a pistol from his coat.

Before Hu Chang could draw his weapon, Qu Kangping shot him in the head.

"Ahh!"

"He's killing!"

"Ah Jian, block the door!"

Ah Jian nodded and immediately stood by the entrance.

With precise shots, Qu Kangping took the lives of everyone present.

A woman at the back looked pale. She knelt, staring at Qu Kangping in terror.

"Team leader Qu, I haven't done anything. Please don't kill me, okay?"

Qu Kangping smirked, "You wretch, you've taken the bait, haven't you?"

"Eh?"

She looked around. Everyone who was supposedly killed was now getting up from the ground, checking their wounds, which surprisingly didn't bleed.

Qu Kangping's murders were all an illusion!

The woman shook her head in disbelief, "What's going on?"

Qu Kangping, squinting with a smile, said:

"Hmph, you've just gained your weird power, haven't you? You don’t understand its principles.

You've researched my special ability in advance, so you deliberately hid your murderous intent, making me unable to detect the red glow from you.

But by doing so, you also blocked my illusion from affecting you. In the illusion I cast, each of them believed they were the first to die, hence all of them fell at the same time.

You were the only one left standing.

You only thought of playing along when you saw others fall, but it was already too late.

If I'm not mistaken, your earring can block weird powers, right?"

With force, Qu Kangping ripped off the woman's earring.

Blood streamed from her earlobe.

Under Qu Kangping's Eye of Clairvoyance, the woman's face morphed into a furry cat's face, glowing in a blinding red light.
