I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1233: Fight Poison with Poison

Your eyebrows have never once relaxed: "No matter who the opponent is, what we need to do now is to find a way to break the life energy absorption of this APP, otherwise more people will fall victim."

"President, there’s something I don’t quite understand."

Li Shi, standing at the intersection, suddenly asked a question.

"Hmm?" You turned your head to look at Li Shi, "Let’s hear it?"

"From the way you acted just now, that Magic Seal seems to require a certain amount of spell power to activate, but if it’s just an ordinary person who took the phone, how is that spell power activated? And how does the person driving the spell power do so, and how is the absorbed life energy transmitted to the other party?"

Li Shi’s words plunged you and Yang Kai into deep thought.

And as you pondered, your grip on the transparent energy ball relaxed slightly, and as a result of this relaxation, the transparent energy ball suddenly shot up into the sky.

At the critical moment, Yang Kai leapt up and managed to catch the transparent energy ball in his hand.

You carefully watched the transparent energy ball in Yang Kai’s hands: "Kai Zi, relax your fingers slightly... Right, slowly loosen them..."

As Yang Kai’s fingers loosened, you clearly saw that the transparent energy ball, just like a hydrogen balloon, was slowly rising.

You placed the palm of your right hand directly above the transparent energy ball, and as soon as Yang Kai fully released his grip, the transparent energy ball flew into the center of your palm.

However, what was surprising was that the transparent energy ball did not simply ascend like a hydrogen balloon; when it encountered an obstacle, it would roll along a slight incline, circumventing the impediment and continuing to rise.

You reached out and grasped the transparent energy ball in your hand, lifting your head to look at the night sky dyed red by the city.

"Old Shu, have you noticed something?"

Yang Kai always admitted that he was no match for you in terms of brainpower, so as long as you were there, he simply didn’t bother to think for himself.

Your gaze remained fixed overhead: "It seems that Li Shi hit the nail on the head after all, there really is a force pulling at the life energy."

"But there doesn’t seem to be anything in the sky?" Yang Kai said.

"The naked eye is certainly not going to see it, try using your Ghost Eye."

Yang Kai immediately opened his Ghost Eye, and after a careful observation, he noticed that a web-like energy shield had appeared over the sky of Yuhang City at some point.

"This... is an Energy Shield?"

"No, it should be called an Energy Magnetic Field, and it is probably the source of driving spell power for the APP, as well as the destination of the life energy."

"Isn’t that a bit exaggerated? Who can create such a huge energy magnetic field?"

"Who said it was one person?" Your words became colder, "It’s obviously the work of a group, and furthermore, someone is continuously maintaining it. Otherwise, such a huge energy magnetic field could drain a person dry in just a few minutes."

"A group?"

Hearing you say this, Yang Kai immediately thought of the "Soul Refining Sect" that had appeared in Yuhang before. freewēbnoveℓ.com

As he watched your reaction, he asked, "Could it be a cult like the Soul Refining Sect?"

"We are not yet clear on the specifics, but now that we’ve discovered this energy magnetic field, we are not far from the truth."

As you spoke, the azure glow in your eyes gradually shifted, quickly transforming into the pale white of Yang Kai’s Ghost Eye.

This was the first time you had transformed the Yin and Yang eyes into the Ghost Eye. The process of transformation seemed simple, taking only two to three seconds, but for ordinary people, even ten or several decades of hard training might not guarantee success.

Once the Ghost Eye was opened, your power relatively upgraded, and at that moment, eight yellow cinnabar charms swiftly flew out from your pocket.

These eight yellow cinnabar charms quickly coalesced into a small Innate Eight Trigrams Formation emitting a faint light. Then, you released the grip of the five fingers holding the transparent energy ball, and as expected, the ball ascended like a balloon. When it rose to a certain height, it fell perfectly into the Array Eye of the small Innate Eight Trigrams Formation and continued to fly towards the sky with the entire formation.

You continued to gaze upward, meanwhile saying to Yang Kai, "Kai Zi, is Little Pen in Yuhang?"

"Hmm, yes."

"Call him immediately, I have something to say to him."

"Alright."

Yang Kai took out his phone and dialed Lei Jianhua’s number.

"Kai Zi, calling me so late, has something happened?" Lei Jianhua was always quite sensitive, so he sensed something was amiss right away.

"Little Pen, Old Shu has something to tell you." Saying this, Yang Kai placed the phone next to your ear.

"Old Shu? You’re saying the President is back?" Lei Jianhua sounded somewhat excited over the phone, "Where is he? I’ll go see him right now!"

"Jian Hua, don’t get excited just yet, I have a very important and difficult task for you now."

Hearing the seriousness in your voice, Lei Jianhua immediately said, "Tell me!"

"Right now, the sky above the entire Yuhang City is covered with an energy magnetic field. This energy magnetic field can drive a spell through a mobile APP, absorbing their life force through people’s strong desires."

You paused for a moment, then continued: "I’ve located the energy magnetic field, and what I need you to do now is to change the rules of this APP with your pen within three minutes. Make the APP pull in those who set up the energy magnetic field instead, and draw their life forces into the energy magnetic field!"

Your words made Yang Kai next to you give a thumbs up: "Fighting poison with poison; Old Shu, that’s a ruthless move."

Lei Jianhua frowned and said, "This won’t take three minutes, two minutes will do. But by doing so, won’t we alert the enemy? Once they know, they’re sure to immediately dismantle the energy magnetic field. There’s no guarantee that they wouldn’t reduce its scope in the future, putting us in an even more passive position. I think we should first figure out their den."

"No." You immediately rejected his suggestion, "Doing so would result in significant losses for our Detective Agency, and might even turn into a disaster."

"Hmm?"

Both Yang Kai and Lei Jianhua were taken aback; they hadn’t expected you to say something like that.

"President, in the time since you’ve been away, our Detective Agency has grown in strength..."

"You don’t know who you’re about to face. I’ve confronted them directly before, requiring the entire City Armed Police Battalion, and we even had to call in a Recoilless Rifle to take them down. And now, I can affirm that the strength of these people is many times greater than those we faced before. Most of our Detective Agency is made up of students. They are experts in investigating cases and communicating with ghosts, but facing thugs is like throwing eggs against rocks."

Lei Jianhua immediately said, "I understand."
