Realm of the Night God - Chapter 110: Fulfilling the Mission

Another colleague sacrificed, which hit Chen Ying hard. Although she had prepared for death since putting on the police uniform, whether for herself or for her colleagues, it was still a blow.

Due to their profession, they inevitably had to deal with various criminals, and encountering danger during missions was common. They might even lose their lives in the process, so they needed a strong mentality to accept the deaths of their colleagues and themselves.

However, when death truly arrived, the previous psychological preparation was as fragile as a candle in the wind, easily extinguished by a gentle breeze.

Especially witnessing a colleague sacrifice in front of her own eyes, it felt like someone was cutting her open with a knife, the pain penetrating deep into her bones.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you out of here. I won’t let these damn things defile your bodies.”

Chen Ying’s voice trembled with tears as she wiped away the tears from her face and helped her colleague’s body up.

Seeing this, several other policemen hurried to Chen Ying’s side. They noticed the black light emanating from Chen Ying could repel the corpse puppets. If they stayed close to Chen Ying, the next ones to die horribly would be them.

It wasn’t about being cowardly or not; they didn’t have what it took to restrain the corpse puppets, but Chen Ying did. So why not make full use of it?

“Chen Ying, go over there. We can’t leave them behind.”

A policeman pointed to two other colleagues who had already lost their breath, their bodies devoid of blood. The corpse puppets that had previously feasted on them showed no further interest.

Chen Ying nodded. Two policemen took the bodies of their fallen colleagues from her and hurried towards the other two corpses.

With the black talisman in hand, the corpse puppets couldn’t get close to Chen Ying and the others. Every time they approached, they were repelled by the black light. However, the range of the black light was limited, forcing them to huddle together to stay protected.

However, none of them noticed that the black light was gradually shrinking. While the power emanating from the black talisman was strong, the continuous emission of black light consumed its power. When the black light ceased, so would the talisman’s power.

Approaching the bodies of the other two policemen, their condition was even more tragic. Chen Ying couldn’t help but cry silently at the sight.

As a police officer, she wasn’t emotionally weak, but seeing three colleagues whom she had spent so much time with sacrifice in front of her, even someone as strong-minded as her couldn’t hold back tears.

After helping the other two policemen’s bodies up, Chen Ying didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she looked towards Yang Haoran.

Chen Ying had never liked Yang Haoran because, in her eyes, he was a swindler who flaunted himself. Such people were social tumors, and her duty was to remove them.

However, the scenes unfolding before her made her doubt some of her steadfast beliefs. She had never believed in anything supernatural, but how else could she explain these frenzied corpse puppets?

Her perspective shifted, leading to some changes in her view of Yang Haoran. She realized she might have misjudged him all along.

As a police officer, Chen Ying had a fairly analytical mind. The black talisman she held had appeared from a broken pendant, a gift from her boyfriend, Wang Yiming. And Yang Haoran, the person she had always considered a charlatan, was a friend of her boyfriend.

From this information, she speculated that Yang Haoran might indeed understand some special methods, and her boyfriend, Wang Yiming, might not be as simple as he seemed on the surface, possibly hiding many things from her.

Watching Yang Haoran being cornered by numerous corpse puppets, although he resisted, it was becoming increasingly difficult. Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, then shouted towards Yang Haoran, “Hold on! We’ll come to rescue you!”

Yang Haoran furrowed his brows, a look of confusion in his eyes. He hadn’t expected Chen Ying to have any intention of saving him in this situation.

Didn’t she always dislike him?

Didn’t she always wish for someone like him, a fraudster, to die sooner?

Before he could make sense of it, Chen Ying and several policemen rushed towards him.

Upon contact with the black light, all the corpse puppets entangling Yang Haoran were sent flying. Not a single one could withstand the black light for even a second. In the blink of an eye, all the corpse puppets in front of Yang Haoran were blown away and scattered on the ground.

“Hurry, come with us!”

Chen Ying, with bloodstained hands, grabbed Yang Haoran, wanting to take him away. But Yang Haoran remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Chen Ying became anxious. She turned to Yang Haoran, who was looking at her with a serious expression, mixed with suspicion.

“Why are you saving me?” Yang Haoran asked, his tone not joyful but rather tinged with coldness.

Chen Ying was taken aback by Yang Haoran’s question. She hadn’t expected him to not immediately flee with her in this situation, let alone ask such a stupid question.

The sacrifice of her colleagues filled her with immense sorrow, but Yang Haoran’s reaction now turned her sorrow into anger.

“Are you freaking stupid? Do you want to die? If it weren’t for our duty, do you think I would want to save you?”

Chen Ying roared at Yang Haoran, even cursing despite being a police officer. It was evident how angry she was at that moment.

Yang Haoran paused for a moment. In this life-or-death situation, Chen Ying’s furious roar made him see this woman in a new light.

Although they had always been at odds, meeting each other was like meeting enemies every time, he had to admit that Chen Ying was a good cop.

“You guys go. While the power of the talisman hasn’t dissipated yet, leave this place quickly. Don’t look back, don’t linger,” Yang Haoran said, looking at Chen Ying, his voice grave.

“You staying here is a dead end. Hurry and come with us!”

With that, regardless of whether Yang Haoran agreed or not, Chen Ying forcibly tried to pull him away.

However, to her surprise, she couldn’t budge Yang Haoran at all.

“The protective shield released by the black talisman can only accommodate so many people. It’s already unable to hold anyone else,” Yang Haoran said, reminding Chen Ying of something she hadn’t noticed before. Upon closer inspection, she realized that what Yang Haoran said was true. Their group had already filled the area covered by the black light, and there was no room for another person.

“Hurry, leave. After you’re gone, don’t look back. Once you’re out of Yangjia Bay, head straight to the crematorium and cremate their bodies immediately. There must be no delay. Even though they’re dead, their bodies contain a large amount of corpse poison. If the poison spreads throughout their bodies, their souls will scatter, and they’ll turn into corpse puppets. So, you must cremate their bodies as soon as possible.”

Yang Haoran initially wanted Chen Ying to leave the three bodies behind, but he knew Chen Ying would never do that, so he could only suggest this course of action.

Chen Ying and her group didn’t quite understand Yang Haoran’s words about corpse puppets, corpse poison, and souls scattering, but they understood one thing clearly: they needed to cremate their colleagues’ bodies immediately.

“Chen Ying, take him with you. I’ll cover your retreat,” a young policeman hesitated for a moment, then stepped out of the area covered by the black light. He casually grabbed a chair from the side, indicating he was ready to fight the corpse puppets.

“Yu Wei! Don’t do something stupid!” Chen Ying’s face changed drastically, and she quickly advised him.

“Yeah! You’ll be dead if you go out there! Come back now!” Another policeman urged loudly.

The young policeman named Yu Wei smiled and said, “I’m different from you guys. You have your own attachments, your own things you can’t let go of. But I don’t. I’m an orphan, no parents, no wife, no children, not even a girlfriend. I have nothing to hold onto.”

With that, after giving Chen Ying and the others a big smile, Yu Wei turned around with the chair in hand, leaving them with his back.

“Take this old man and leave. It’s time for me, Yu Wei, to fulfill my mission!”

With that, Yu Wei rushed towards the incoming corpse puppets. Although he had been terrified before, now he showed no fear.

However, just as Yu Wei dashed out, a thick black chain suddenly wrapped around his body, sending him flying back. Then the chain spun around, entangling Chen Ying and her group tightly.

This sudden appearance of the black chain was the Yin spirit power within Yang Haoran. At this moment, Yang Haoran finally used his Yin spirit power, not against the corpse puppets, but against Chen Ying and her group.

“Yang Haoran! What are you doing, you bastard!” Chen Ying cursed. She hadn’t expected that after trying to save Yang Haoran, he would suddenly turn against them.

However, at this moment, Chen Ying misunderstood Yang Haoran once again.

The thick black chain wrapped Chen Ying and her group tightly, but due to the overwhelming power of the black talisman, the chain that Yang Haoran exerted burst apart as soon as it entangled them, showing signs of collapse.

With his current strength, it was impossible for him to restrain a black talisman. He was clear about this, so he didn’t hesitate at all. He exerted all his strength while the black chain hadn’t yet shattered, forcefully flinging them away, out of the courtyard!

As they landed outside the courtyard, the black chain immediately shattered, dissipating into wisps of black smoke, while Chen Ying and her group, though in excruciating pain from the fall, regained their freedom.

“Leave quickly. The power of the black talisman won’t hold much longer. If you delay any further, none of you will be able to leave Yangjia Bay. If you truly want to fulfill your mission, report everything that happened here immediately. Get your department to send spirit police over here as soon as possible. Only with their intervention in time can we prevent the corpse puppets here from escaping and harming more living spirits!”
