My Amazing WeChat is Connected to the Three Realms - Chapter 99

Lin Hai let out a cold sneer toward Hu Lai.

“To deal with scum like you, do I really need someone else to rescue me? Brother can take care of you in a minute!”

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, then burst into uproarious laughter as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

“I’m telling you, Lin Hai, can you be any more shameless? You, of all people?”

Damn, looking down on me, huh?

Lin Hai immediately felt displeased.

“Damn it, you don’t accept that? If you don’t, come over here. Come on, come on, come over.” Lin Hai beckoned Hu Lai with a hook of his finger, his face full of disdain.

“Huh?” Seeing Lin Hai so confident and unafraid, Hu Lai suddenly grew alert.

Could this kid have some trick up his sleeve?

“Hmph, kid, let me tell you, don’t try any funny business. In the face of absolute power, everything is futile!”

“Damn, so you’re saying you’re powerful? If you’re so powerful, why don’t you get your ass over here? What are you afraid of?”

Hu Lai’s eyes darted back and forth. The more Lin Hai talked like this, the more he felt there was a trick involved.

Seeing this, Lin Hai simply sat down on the ground.

“Director Peng, look at this idiot, standing there like a wooden stake, too scared to move. It’s so damn embarrassing, don’t you think?”

“Ah? Yes, yes.” Peng Tao nodded mechanically, completely dumbfounded by everything happening before his eyes.

Hearing this, Hu Lai’s eyes blazed with fury.

“You little beast, who are you calling an idiot?”

“Whoever asks, that’s who,” Lin Hai retorted, rolling his eyes.

“You’re infuriating me! Damn it, I don’t care what scheme you have. In this world, I have no rivals anymore. No matter what tricks you play, they’re useless against me!”

“Oh?” Lin Hai looked genuinely surprised.

“That sounds so familiar! Oh! I remember now, Hu Wei said the same thing before he died. I must say, you father and son are quite alike. Seems like the neighbor, Old Wang, wasn’t involved after all.”

Mentioning Hu Wei’s death immediately sent Hu Lai into a frenzy.

“Damn it, I’ll avenge my son right now! With my invincible power, you have no chance of survival. Prepare to die!”

“Ah.” Lin Hai shook his head.

“Let me give you some advice: stop talking about being ‘invincible.’ Haven’t you heard there’s always someone better, someone beyond you? Look at me, I’m so awesome, but have I ever said it myself? Remember this: don’t flaunt it, or you’ll get struck by lightning!”

“Hahaha!” Hu Lai let out a loud, hearty laugh, then glared venomously at Lin Hai.

“Don’t flaunt it? I’m gonna flaunt it today, so what? I have the power! I’m gonna flaunt it! What can you do about it? You…”

BOOM!

Suddenly, a tremendous roar erupted from the sky.

Hu Lai’s face changed dramatically, and he jerked his head upward to look.

But the sky, which had been clear just moments ago, was now shrouded in dark clouds.

Holy shit, what’s with this weirdness?

Hu Lai suddenly felt a pang of unease.

“Haha, go on, keep showing off! Damn it, I hope lightning strikes you, you pretentious bastard!” Lin Hai immediately started gloating.

The moment Lin Hai’s words fell, a crackling sound split the air!

A bolt of lightning from a clear sky descended, striking Hu Lai squarely on the head.

Peng Tao shivered at the sight, his pupils contracting sharply in shock.

Th-this… how is this possible?

He turned his head abruptly to look at Lin Hai, who sat there with an air of serene calm. Peng Tao suddenly felt that Lin Hai was profoundly inscrutable.

“No matter the circumstances, Lin Hai is absolutely not someone to provoke!” Peng Tao warned himself silently.

“Ugh… ugh…” Hu Lai was directly charred into a crisp by the lightning. Two hoarse, guttural sounds escaped his throat before he toppled straight backward.

As he fell, Lin Hai suddenly saw Hu Lai’s soul violently leap out of his body.

Just as Lin Hai was focusing his spirit to prepare for defense, the soul revealed an expression of utter terror. Then, it slowly began to disintegrate, dissipating into the world between heaven and earth.

“Utter annihilation of body and soul!” The phrase popped into Lin Hai’s mind.

He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This Hu Lai, in order to cultivate some damnable demonic art, had undoubtedly harmed countless people. Today, in death, even his soul could not escape. It was indeed poetic justice—he got what he deserved!

“Hmm?” Suddenly, from within Hu Lai’s body, one tormented soul after another began to emerge. Each soul had its abdomen hollowed out, a sight both pitiful and horrifying.

These souls suddenly, one after another, knelt and bowed toward Lin Hai.

“Wh-what is this about?” Lin Hai was utterly confused. He even spotted Zhao Lei among the spirits.

“Cultivating the Blood-Dissolving Demonic Art not only requires human organs as vessels, but it also imprisons human souls, forcing them to serve the master of the demonic art. Unless the master dies, these souls can never be reincarnated, not even for ten thousand lifetimes.”

Chu Lin’er had returned to Lin Hai’s side at some point and spoke these words calmly.

Upon hearing this, a chill ran down Lin Hai’s spine. It was too damn cruel! Never to be reincarnated for ten thousand lifetimes—this demonic art was truly vile and sinister to the extreme.

“Director Peng, since matters here are settled, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Lin Hai didn’t really want to stay any longer.

“Mr. Lin, please wait a moment.” Peng Tao quickly stopped him.

“Mr. Lin, my colleagues are still unconscious, and their condition is unknown. Could you please…” Peng Tao glanced at the police officers lying scattered on the ground.

“Oh, that’s easy. Let me take a look.”

Lin Hai squatted down and examined one of the officers.

“They’re fine, just knocked out. Surprisingly, Hu Lai didn’t kill them.”

Hearing this, Peng Tao immediately felt relieved.

If all these officers had died, the loss would have been immense.

Lin Hai pressed a specific acupoint on each officer’s chest, and one by one, they began to wake up.

“Director, what…?” After waking, the officers all felt a lingering fear. The events that had transpired were simply too bizarre.

“Alright, the main perpetrator, Hu Lai, is dead. Conduct a thorough search of this area and prepare to seal off the scene.”

“He’s dead? How?” The officers expressed their astonishment. That figure who had seemed like a demon… just died like that?

Peng Tao’s mouth twitched. “Struck by lightning.”

“What? Struck by lightning?”

“How is that possible? It’s broad daylight!”

“Director, are you joking?”

Peng Tao’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

“Damn it, don’t tell me you don’t believe it. Even I, who saw it with my own eyes, can hardly believe it. But that’s the fact!” Peng Tao shot a sidelong glance at Lin Hai. What an extraordinary person.

After reviving the officers, Lin Hai said goodbye to Peng Tao and walked out through the underground passage.

“You finished your business?” Lin Hai asked coldly, turning to Chu Lin’er behind him.

“Yep.” Chu Lin’er replied absentmindedly, still playing Go-moku on her phone.

You’ve got to be kidding me!

Lin Hai snatched the phone from her hand.

“You’re so inconsiderate! You just stood by and did nothing earlier when I was in danger!” Lin Hai said angrily.

“Give me back my phone! You didn’t die, did you?” Chu Lin’er reached out and took the phone back.

Lin Hai was fuming. If I had died, brother, saying all this would be fucking pointless!

He was just about to start scolding her when suddenly—

Ding-dong!

The sound of a WeChat notification.

Lin Hai took out his phone and saw it was a system message.

“Performed rites for lost souls. Reward: 1,000,000 Yin Virtue points.”

Holy shit! Lin Hai counted the zeros after the 1.

“Six zeros… damn, one million! Haha, I’m rich!” Lin Hai danced around with joy.

“Hey, what can these Yin Virtue points actually do?” In his good mood, Lin Hai couldn’t be bothered to argue with Chu Lin’er anymore.

“Yin Virtue points?” An idea popped into Chu Lin’er’s mind.

“They’re mainly used to upgrade your official rank in the Underworld.”

“Official rank in the Underworld? What’s that?” Lin Hai looked completely baffled.

“Look below your Yin Virtue points.”

Lin Hai hurriedly opened his wallet to check.

“Upgrade to Second-Class Yin Officer?”

“Hey, hey, what exactly is a ‘Second-Class Yin Officer’? What are the benefits of upgrading?”

“Lots of benefits, of course. You’ll know once you upgrade.”

“So you’re saying I should upgrade?” Lin Hai asked tentatively.

“Only a fool wouldn’t,” Chu Lin’er replied, giving Lin Hai an eye-roll.

“Damn, brother is no fool. Then I’m upgrading!”

Lin Hai tapped the upgrade button.

“Congratulations on your promotion to Second-Class Yin Officer. Upgrade fee of 1,000,000 points deducted.”

Holy shit, damn, that’s a huge deduction!

Just as Lin Hai was about to ask, he noticed a sly, triumphant smile playing at the corner of Chu Lin’er’s mouth.

“Damn you! Brother has been tricked!” Lin Hai groaned inwardly.
