126: Chapter 101: Prison Barrier, Netherworld (Third Update!)_2 126: Chapter 101: Prison Barrier, Netherworld (Third Update!)_2 Qin Shi was slightly taken aback, then shook his head:

“I am a single-minded person, single-threaded.

As long as I am sure that the road ahead is passable, I will keep moving forward with very little doubt, struggle, or random thoughts.”

Super Xiao He’s rigid expression suddenly became lively, frowning as he asked:

“What if it doesn’t work out?

If the road is cut off or there is no way forward at all?”

Qin Shi blurted out:

“I’ve come this far, how could I turn back?

Even if I have to build a road, I’ll keep moving forward.”

Super Xiao He was stunned, is it really that simple?

Qin Shi didn’t ask further questions, he thought of a way to break the Prison Barrier.

He grabbed the small dog phone and opened “Kill Me”.

[47: Boss, can we take action now?]

Two minutes later.

[Anonymous User: You can.]

[Anonymous User: Remember, don’t leave any obvious traces, make sure he is brain dead.]

“Brain dead?

Alright, boss.”

Qin Shi’s expression remained calm, after a moment he sent another message.

[47: The target has been dealt with.]

[47: Picture.JPG]

This picture of him looking peaceful as if he is asleep was taken by his younger sibling, Qin Lan, before he left home.

[Anonymous User: As expected of a Five-Star Assassin!]

“As expected of a Five-Star Assassin!

Such efficiency in getting things done!”

Qin Yixiong held the terminal, smiling.

With that student dead, Gao Haipeng would take the blame.

What belonged to the Qin Family naturally should return to their hands.

[Anonymous User: I admire you greatly, you did this job very well.]

[Anonymous User: If you can work wholeheartedly for me, the pay will not be disappointing.]

[47: Let’s keep in touch, boss.]

Qin Yixiong nodded, knowing that these assassins hiding in the dark corners of the Dark Web only recognize money.

As long as the interests are sufficient, there is nothing they won’t do.

He sat in the boss chair, opened the terminal, and clicked on the “Express Home” app.

At the same time, the orange puppy transformed by the Electronic Demon suddenly swelled up, like an inflated balloon.

Across the distant distance, utilizing the nearly light-speed transmission of electronic signals, it locked onto Qin Yixiong instantly.

His head buzzed, as if hearing a sharp, piercing scream, feeling a bit dizzy.

He seemed to hear a very young voice saying to him:

“Get in here!”

Qin Yixiong’s body shook as if struck by a palm, his spirit seemed to separate from his flesh, like a fish hooked and dragged into the net.

…

…

Netherworld Research Institute.

In a lab the size of a football field, researchers in white coats were closely monitoring the screens to ensure no data was missed.

Ever since the Four Pillars simultaneously descended on the Dangyang East Suburb, causing a spike in deep value, almost leading to an erosion of reality,

the entire institute had been bustling with activity.

The arrival of pillar-level entities often had profound impacts.

Because the material world simply couldn’t contain their existence, they could only project through the Netherworld.

But even as projections, the waves they stirred far exceeded human imagination.

They were like hundred-ton whales in the vast ocean, forcing their way into ponds or streams.

It could only end in disaster.

“Thankfully, they came quickly and left quickly.

If the Four Pillars had stayed a bit longer, the increasing depth of the Netherworld would have inevitably caused an erosion event in reality.”

Team Leader Ma flipped through the submitted data reports, heaving a sigh of relief.

Luckily, no major troubles were caused, and there were no incidents of subordinate creatures or Great Demons crossing over.

Dear Mother, it would have affected my career!

“Boss, regarding the cause of the simultaneous descent of the Four Pillars, the Inspection Department seems unwilling to cooperate.”

A round-faced girl with glasses pouted as she spoke.

“They probably don’t want to draw too much attention.

Record this incident in the file, and I will ask the Inspection Department in a few days if it needs to be reported to the Imperial Capital immediately.”

Although Team Leader Ma was an academic researcher, he understood social nuances and guessed that the peak season for university enrollments was almost here.

If news leaked out that Heng Province had a Chosen Saint Heir that led to the simultaneous descent of the Four Pillars, the Four National Universities would definitely come running.

The Inspection Department, to retain talent, might intend to suppress the news for a while.

“This is not in accordance with the protocol.

The simultaneous descent of the Four Pillars!

And they all paid attention!

This might not happen even once in hundreds of years!”

The round-faced girl, clearly a new intern, expressed her confusion.

“Xiaoxue, you’ve just joined the institute; following protocol is fine, but it’s easy to offend people.”

Team Leader Ma kindly advised his subordinate:

“Since the Inspection Department seems to want to suppress the news for now, we should go along with it.

If you insist on following protocol, the next time you need to collect resources or funding, it will all follow procedure, and it will be a headache.”

The round-faced girl murmured an “Oh,” feeling quite troubled:

“But the Chosen Saint Heir of the Four Pillars is so rare.

The Four National Universities would definitely offer special enrollments.

It would be such a pity if we missed the admission.”

Team Leader Ma shook his head but didn’t express his opinion directly, instead, he said tactfully:

“It might not be a bad thing.

The Four National Universities are mostly in the Imperial Capital and Hai Province, dominating the entire satellite city.

The students there are all elites, regardless of their major, they all start at a very high level.

That unknown ‘Chosen Saint Heir’ is in the Dangyang East Suburb, specifically on Old Factory Street.

If he were directly taken by the Four National Universities out of Heng Province to see a broader world, it might not necessarily be beneficial for his growth.”

Team Leader Ma was a seasoned individual, having seen many so-called “genius youths” from frontier planets and second- and third-tier administrative areas before.

Through hard work and diligent study, they finally left their hometowns and reached higher peaks.

But they quickly became mediocre and, feeling overwhelmed by the disparity, spiraled into self-destruction.

“How could that be?”

The round-faced girl’s eyes widened.

“Geniuses also need to grow.

Among the stars, there are countless stars and numerous moons.

But only the Scorching Sun is unique…

Oh, no, the alarm is going off again!”

Team Leader Ma was about to reflect on life when the red alert light flashed again.

It was as if he had been hit by a whip, jumping up from his seat and rushing towards the workstation.

“Boss!

It’s the Dangyang East Suburb again!

Someone has entered the Netherworld, possibly that ‘Chosen Saint Heir’ from last time!

This big fish, carrying the four pillar-level emblem, is like a high-power spotlight!”

A researcher pointed at the blinking bright spot on the screen.

“Could he be cultivating Spiritual Power?

That can’t be right, Heng Province is a barren land for Spiritual Ability.

And he’s treading so openly into the Netherworld, not like an experienced expert…”

Team Leader Ma was puzzled, full of confusion.

But the next moment, his eyes widened in shock, almost petrified.

“Sublimation of the mind?

The Spiritual Power wave has broken the peak value!

Dear Mother, he dares to break through in the Netherworld!”

…

…

“So this is the Netherworld?”

Qin Shi stood in the water, the surroundings were very quiet, not a sound to be heard.

Even the wind seemed to stop in its tracks, vanishing without a trace.

The place he was in could be considered an “island”, right?

Looking around, all he saw was dense black mist, like ash drifting over from afar.

The sky was dark, like smeared ink, thick and pitch-black.

“This island is way too small.”

Qin Shi muttered.

There was barely a few square meters of land above the water, just enough to stand.

If the tide rose or waves surged, it could easily be submerged.

“This is your Spiritual Power.

The size of your heart determines the size of the ‘island’ you manifest.”

Super Xiao He suddenly appeared from nowhere, standing only up to Qin Shi’s knees.

Like a tiny white-haired boy.

“The Netherworld is a hypothetical ocean that carries the spirit and houses consciousness.

Everyone who enters it projects different places: islands, boats, castles…

things like that.”

Qin Shi understood.

That seemingly endless, fog-encased cold ocean.

Was probably what the Netherworld projected.

“Rather than worrying about where you are, think about finding that guy surnamed Qin and killing him.”

Super Xiao He reminded.

Qin Shi was confident though, raising the puppy phone in his hand and pressing it lightly.

“Devil Map will keep you navigating, ensuring you don’t get lost in the Netherworld!”
