Sean lifted his head and found himself bound to a pillar, his view filled with an underground cavern.
âUnderground⊠me⊠what happened?â
His head throbbed, feeling as if his spirituality was depleted, unable to use any more transcendent power.
âRight⊠I was conducting a werewolf investigation in the Emerald Forest, then I met that woman⊠â
Sean mumbled to himself.
At this moment, he noticed he was seemingly at the edge of an altar.
Many black pillars stood tall, most were tied down with a werewolf.
And next to him was Paul.
âFourth Level Professionals⊠are indeed strongâŠâ
Sean looked around and finally spotted the same young woman again.
She was wearing a white dress, standing in the center of the ritual, with a blood-dripping obsidian dagger in her hand.
More crucially, her face now appeared somewhat familiar, seemingly seen somewhere before.
Under his gaze, the young woman easily slit a werewolfâs throat with the obsidian dagger.
Gulugulu!
Blood splattered, falling into the channels on the ground. The young woman, however, was very calm, walking towards the next sacrifice.
âLet me thinkâŠâ Sean took a sniff: âThis incense and ritual⊠Black Death Society! This is the Black Death Societyâs sacrifice ritual! All of us are the sacrifices!â

The captive bound, their numbers hard to estimate.
Moreover, most of them are professional or transcendent species!
This scale of sacrifice made Sean break into a cold sweat: âI get it! You guys are trying to replace large-scale human sacrifices with the transcendent species of werewolves because they all live in dense forests, even if a tribe is eradicated itâs hard to attract the Federationâs attention⊠Black Death Society⊠you guys are indeed the masterminds behind all this!â
As he spoke, the young woman had killed several more werewolves.
What surprised Sean was, her breath seemed to deepen a bit.
Finally, the young woman came to Sean.
That extremely beautiful face made Sean more apprehensive.
Immediately, his eyes lit up: âI remember now, youâre Bicui!â
After all, being just ordinary college classmates, if it werenât for Su Lu, Sean might not have remembered this name.
Furthermore, since their graduation, so many years have passed, Bicui has gone through drastic changes, it would be abnormal if Sean could recognize her immediately.
âBicui? Indeed⊠thatâs my name.â
Bicuiâs green eyes gazed at Sean, the corner of her mouth curling slightly: âI remember you too⊠friend of that person, Sean! You will be sacrificed to the Lord of Death!â
âDamn!â
Sean rolled his eyes: âI thought youâd spare me, considering we were old classmatesâŠâ
He subtly glanced at the obsidian dagger in Bicuiâs hand, immediately nothing to deflect the topic: âYou took sides with the Black Death Society? I must say, this is a terrible decision⊠Iâm a federal civil servant now, even have a retirement plan⊠a cult organization definitely wonât have this, right? My employment status is still better than yours.â
Bicui remained unmoved, raising her dagger.
âWait⊠all these sacrifices of transcendent species, what are you trying to do?â Sean shouted: âPerform an evil ritual, curse your enemies, or seek your own advancement?â

âDeath⊠can enhance my strength.â
Bicui stared at her palm: âShould feel honored to become a part of my power⊠Nevertheless, you still have some useâŠâ
She knocked her dagger.
Phew!
Scalding droplets of blood splattered onto Seanâs face.
He opened his eyes, finding that the one who was stabbed wasnât him, but Paul next to him.
âAlright⊠he didnât manage to write his will in the end, poor poor little guyâŠâ
Sean commented as if to mock, but his expression turned cold: âBicui⊠why did you become like this?â
âIsnât it good to have changed like this?â
Bicui, too splattered with blood, still had an innocent smile.
The angel and the devil, contradictory yet harmonious, seemed to merge in her.
âAnd⊠tell me, where is Su Lu?â
The question that came next caused Seanâs pupils to widen: âYou⊠what are you asking?â
âSu Lu Pottery! Even if he was avoiding me before, I could still occasionally sense him in this world⊠but this past year, he seems to have truly disappeared from the world.â
A confused look surfaced on Bicuiâs face.
âWhat do you want with him?â Sean criticized his roommate mentally, meanwhile, weaving a cliche story in his mind that could be serialized in the Federation newspaper.
âFind him, kill him!â Bicui answered as a matter of course.

âAlrightâŠâ Sean rolled his eyes, feeling utterly hopeless for this world: âSorry⊠I have no idea. The Eleventh Bureauâs regulations are strict, there arenât many holidays. Ever since we parted in Nia city, I havenât seen him againâŠâ
In reality, he has seen him. But Su Lu had concealed his identity, naturally, Sean wouldnât know.
âThatâs a pity⊠it seems that youâre not that important in his heart, not even worth being a hostageâŠâ
Bicui sighed: âThen weâll just make you a part of my power!â
She pulled out the blood-stained obsidian dagger, and raised it again.
âDead for sure!â
Sean shut his eyes, starting to pray silently.
The next moment, the anticipated pain did not come.
âFinally found it.â
On the contrary, a very familiar voice echoed in his ears.
Sean opened his eyes and saw a blue-eyed blonde youth standing beside him, a warm smile on his lips.
âSu Lu? Your eyes?â
Sean felt as if he was dreaming: âWait⊠How did you appear all of a sudden? Am i dreaming?â
âLong time no see, Bicui!â
Su Lu ignored Sean, instead turning to look at Bicui.
He concealed his own information, so that he could unexpectedly kill his way to Bicui and rectify the initial error he left behind!
On his forehead, a pentagram symbol emerged.

Buzz!
As if resonating, on Bicuiâs forehead, a similar symbol appeared with great difficulty. Only, one represented the master and the other represented the servant.
âSubmit to me!â
With a low voice, Su Lu slowly said.
The struggle was evident on Bicuiâs face, but she slowly knelt down with one knee, seemingly submitting.
âUm? Whatâs happening?â Sean was baffled. Whatâs happening that this fourth level professional, knelt down in front of Su Lu with just a single sentence?
âF⊠Fifth Level?â
The tenacious Bicui lifted her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The master-servant contract inherently favored the master, especially when Su Luâs professional rank was higher than Bicui. As soon as he suddenly attacked and appeared in front of her, repression required no effort at all.
