    Chapter 228

    After Brother Sheng's futile attempt at resisting, he obediently answered every one of Su Hao's questions.

    Both he and Tuozi belonged to an organization known as the Summoned Beast Resistance Association.

    Their current assignment was to abduct a number of children under the age of six.

    As for where the organization was based...

    Who its real leaders were...

    How many members it had...

    Or why it specifically targeted young children...

    They knew absolutely nothing.

    Neither of them was an official member. They simply accepted assignments from a direct superior and completed them for money.

    Beyond that...

    They were completely in the dark.

    In other words...

    They were nothing more than expendable errand runners.

    Su Hao also questioned them about Summoners, but the two men's understanding was shallow. Their answers were vague and provided almost no valuable information.

    Still...

    It was enough.

    Looking at the pair, Su Hao sneered.

    "So."

    "You're child traffickers."

    Brother Sheng immediately put on a pitiful expression.

    "Little... no, young masters!"

    "It's our first time!"

    "We've never actually succeeded before!"

    "We haven't done anything else wrong!"

    "Please spare us!"

    "Don't hand us over to the Public Security Bureau!"

    This was, of course, something he'd rehearsed countless times before.

    If these two children handed them over to the authorities...

    They might actually survive.

    Su Hao ignored the plea.

    Instead, he stepped forward and gently placed his palm on Brother Sheng's forehead.

    Brother Sheng's face instantly turned pale.

    He was convinced this terrifying child had finally decided to kill him.

    Unable to move because all four of his joints had been dislocated by Yashan, he could only watch helplessly as the child's small hand rested against his forehead.

    Blood Qi quietly flowed into Brother Sheng's brain.

    More...

    And more...

    Until it reached its limit.

    Within the Marble Space, Brother Sheng's consciousness was instantly recorded and sealed inside a Little Black Room.

    Su Hao then withdrew his hand and calmly walked over to Tuozi.

    The exact same process was repeated.


    ---

    The two men looked utterly bewildered.

    What...

    Had this child just done?

    When that tiny hand touched his forehead, Brother Sheng genuinely thought he was about to die.

    In those brief moments...

    His entire life flashed before his eyes.

    He even remembered the girl he had secretly admired back in high school.

    Only after Su Hao removed his hand did he finally realize...

    He was still alive.

    He slowly exhaled.

    "...Too terrifying."

    Tonight...

    They had definitely encountered something evil.

    Brother Sheng silently made up his mind.

    The very first thing tomorrow morning—

    He would resign.

    This job simply wasn't worth risking his life.


    ---

    After confirming that both consciousness records had been successfully stored inside the Marble Space, Su Hao casually helped Brother Sheng reconnect his dislocated joints.

    He carefully examined the surroundings once more to ensure nothing had been overlooked.

    Only then did he say,

    "You can leave now."

    Brother Sheng and Tuozi froze.

    Leave?

    Just like that?

    Had they heard correctly?

    Everything seemed far too easy.

    The two exchanged uncertain glances.

    Looking at Su Hao's calm expression...

    It didn't seem like a joke.

    Brother Sheng cautiously stood up.

    He walked over, picked up Tuozi, and hurried toward the alley exit without daring to look back.

    Just then—

    Su Hao suddenly called out.

    "Hey."

    Brother Sheng's legs instantly went weak.

    With a miserable cry, Tuozi slipped off his back and landed on the ground.

    Su Hao pointed toward the corpses.

    "You're just leaving your leopard and rat here?"

    "Clean them up."

    Brother Sheng immediately let out a relieved breath.

    "So that's all..."

    Smiling awkwardly, he quickly walked over to the corpses.

    Closing his eyes, he concentrated.

    Soon...

    The surrounding space distorted slightly.

    Both the Black-Striped Leopard and the Burrowing Rat gradually disappeared into the distortion, as though being swallowed into another world.

    Only pools of blood remained behind.

    Afraid Su Hao might suddenly change his mind, Brother Sheng hurriedly hoisted Tuozi onto his back and fled into the darkness.

    Only after running several streets away did he finally dare to stop.

    After confirming no one was following them, he finally let out a long breath.

    "Hah..."

    "They're still just kids."

    "Brother Sheng really is smart."

    But immediately afterward...

    His expression stiffened.

    Remembering what had happened tonight, he couldn't help muttering,

    "How can two little kids be this strong?"

    "That's impossible..."

    "They even used lightning..."

    "That's terrifying..."


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    After quietly leaving the alley, Yashan finally couldn't hold back any longer.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "Are we really just letting them go?"

    Su Hao smiled faintly.

    "Of course not."

    "I hate child traffickers."

    "Especially those who try to kidnap me."

    "They're already dead."

    "They're simply going to die somewhere else."

    Yashan blinked.

    "...What?"

    Su Hao pointed toward a surveillance camera mounted on a nearby street corner.

    "This society possesses extremely advanced technology."

    "Those devices are called surveillance cameras."

    "They constantly record everything happening nearby."

    "If we killed someone here, it would be easy to trace the incident back to us."

    "We're only five years old."

    "Any unnecessary attention would become troublesome."

    "So..."

    "I let them leave first."

    "Once they've completely separated themselves from us..."

    "They can die."

    Yashan nodded thoughtfully while staring curiously at the camera.

    "So that's a surveillance camera..."

    "It looks amazing."

    Everything in this new world fascinated him.

    Almost everything he saw was something he'd never imagined could exist.

    Unfortunately...

    Whenever he asked Boss Wei how these things worked...

    The answer was always the same.

    "Wait another ten years."

    "You'll probably understand then."

    Never an actual explanation.

    Su Hao continued,

    "Until we possess enough strength to ignore every rule in this world..."

    "We need to stay cautious."

    "Otherwise..."

    "One day a Tsar Bomba might suddenly fall on your head."

    "And you won't even know how you died."

    Yashan looked confused.

    "What's a Tsar Bomba?"

    Su Hao laughed.

    "I don't know how to build one yet."

    "But once I learn..."

    "I'll make one for you to try."

    Yashan's expression immediately changed.

    Judging from Boss Wei's tone alone...

    Whatever a Tsar Bomba was...

    It definitely wasn't something he'd ever want to experience.

    He hurriedly waved both hands.

    "I'll leave that honor to someone else."


    ---

    The two quietly climbed back over the orphanage wall.

    When they entered their dormitory...

    They found Bai Jingchun sitting upright on his bed.

    Wide awake.

    His enormous eyes stared fixedly at the two of them.

    Both Su Hao and Yashan were startled.

    Su Hao asked,

    "Jingchun?"

    "Why aren't you asleep?"

    "Need to use the bathroom?"

    Bai Jingchun slowly shook his head.

    Then silently pointed toward the huge hole in the floor.

    "...I can't sleep."

    Su Hao immediately understood.

    After all...

    He was only a child.

    Sleeping beside a giant tunnel leading underground was enough to frighten anyone.

    Climbing back into bed, Su Hao pulled up his blanket.

    "It's fine."

    "A wild pig dug that hole."

    "The noise woke me up, so Jingyi and I went outside to check."

    "Go to sleep."

    "Tomorrow Sister Bai will have someone fill it in."

    Bai Jingchun obediently nodded.

    He lay back down.

    Even so...

    His eyes remained fixed on Su Hao and Yashan.

    He was afraid they'd disappear again and leave him alone.

    Ignoring the anxious little boy, Su Hao pulled the blanket over his head.

    Yashan quietly lay down as well.

    Within moments...

    Both appeared to have fallen asleep.


    ---

    Su Hao's consciousness, however, entered the Marble Space.

    Through the consciousness records inside the Little Black Rooms, he located Brother Sheng and Tuozi.

    The two had already reached a crowded street.

    Without the slightest hesitation, Su Hao calmly instructed Little Light,

    "Erase both consciousness records."

    A torrent of information surged through the Marble Space.

    The consciousness stored inside the two Little Black Rooms instantly collapsed.

    Their mental structures shattered into meaningless fragments before being completely erased.

    Looking at the now-empty rooms, Su Hao said quietly,

    "If there's another life..."

    "Be pigs."

    His consciousness left the Marble Space.

    The battle tonight had consumed a considerable amount of Blood Qi.

    Before long...

    He drifted into deep sleep.


    ---

    At almost the same moment...

    Brother Sheng, who had just reached the entrance of a hospital with Tuozi on his back...

    Suddenly collapsed.

    Without any warning.

    His body hit the ground with a dull thud.

    Tuozi slipped from his back.

    Neither moved again.

    "..."

    Someone nearby hesitated for a moment before rushing over.

    "Quick!"

    "Call a doctor!"

    "Two people collapsed!"

    To everyone present...

    It looked like they had simply fainted.

    No one realized...

    They would never wake again.


    ---

    Early the next morning...

    Sister Bai stood inside the dormitory with a dark expression.

    She paced back and forth across the room.

    Her fists clenched...

    Then loosened...

    Then clenched again.

    Hu Sheng and the freckled assistant, Xiaotian, stood silently beside her.

    Behind them, Su Hao, Yashan, and Bai Jingchun stood obediently in a neat row.

    After taking several deep breaths to calm herself, Sister Bai finally spoke.

    "Asheng."

    "Find someone to repair the floor."

    Hu Sheng opened his mouth as if wanting to say something.

    In the end...

    He simply nodded.

    "Understood."

    After he left...

    Sister Bai turned toward the three children.

    Her expression softened considerably.

    Using the gentlest voice she could manage, she asked,

    "Jingzhong."

    "Jingyi."

    "Jingchun."

    "Can someone tell Sister Bai..."

    "...what happened last night?"

    Su Hao immediately raised his hand.

    "I'll explain."

    He cleared his throat solemnly.

    "This is a rather long story."

    "So..."

    "Let's start from the beginning."

    "Last night..."

    "The wind was gentle."

    "The moon was bright."

    "There were countless experts hidden everywhere..."

    "..."

    Yashan quietly lowered his head.

    He already knew.

    Boss Wei was about to start making things up again.

    Tsar Bomba replaces the literal "Big Ivan" (which is the original Russian nickname), making the reference natural in English while preserving the meaning.
