Chapter 92 Counterattack Against the Soul Splitter (9/10)
According to the task assigned to this person by Si Mingyu and Meng Chao, he does not need to confront Li Jiuhe directly; he only needs to use his clone to lure him into the darkness.
Because this darkness is the "bridge" created by the Soul Splitter and built between the Y-01 containment room, Li Jiuhe doesn't need to actually enter this darkness; as long as he gets even a little bit of it, he will be forcibly transported to the Y-01 room.
However, the traces of the soul fragmenter's spiritual power will remain in the house for about a month.
Because it would easily expose their whereabouts, those who split their souls would never normally do this.
But he dared not disobey Meng Chao's orders, and he knew what the consequences of disobeying would be.
At this moment, the soul splitter only wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, to lure Li Jiuhe to the bedroom door, and to let him be tainted by a bit of his dark attributes so that the whole plan could be completed.
His current ability can only contaminate a room without life, such as an empty living room.
The next step is to attract Li Jiuhe to actively become involved with this darkness in order to complete the teleportation.
He quickly used his mental power to condense a dark clone in the darkness, a clone imbued with his intense negative emotions.
This resulted in the clone appearing extremely gloomy and terrifying.
After the clone appeared, it pushed open the bedroom door and slowly walked in, trying to create a certain oppressive effect on the person lying on the bed.
Meanwhile, the split-soul wielder hid in the living room, continuing to condense a second clone, preparing to have it crawl out of the wardrobe and force the startled Li Jiuhe to the bedroom door.
Then the third clone is also forming simultaneously. This clone will appear under the bed. After the second clone scares Li Jiuhe to the vicinity of the bedroom door, the third clone will immediately appear and pounce on the target.
This way, Li Jiuhe will almost certainly dodge to the edge of the doorway.
When the time comes, the soul divider will only need to reach out to grab Li Jiuhe from the darkness.
Even if you can't pull them in, it doesn't matter, because as long as the dark attribute instantly taints the other party, you can teleport them to the Y-01 containment chamber.
The first clone quickly approached the bedside in the bedroom, emitting a cold aura, as if it would launch an attack at any moment.
But the person sleeping in the bed was completely still, and their snoring was even, as if they were sleeping very soundly.
The split soul sensed something was wrong and immediately controlled the clone to reach out and gently lift the edge of the blanket.
He was suddenly stunned to see that there were only two pillows in the blanket, arranged in a way that suggested someone was curled up and fast asleep.
The source of the snoring was a cell phone placed under the pillow, playing snoring sounds on a loop.
The soul splitter was startled and immediately stopped the formation of the other two clones.
He suspected that Li Jiuhe was no longer in the house, but had escaped, so there was no need to continue creating clones.
After a moment's thought, the split soul standing in the living room controlled his clone to continue searching in the bedroom, while he himself went to the kitchen to take a look.
The kitchen was very small and clearly visible; there was no one there at all.
He then turned around and went to the door of the second bedroom, which was originally the small bedroom where Li Yi lived.
Standing silently in the darkness near the door of the small bedroom, the soul splitter peered inside. The room was covered in dust, and it looked as if no one had ever lived there.
Almost at the same moment, a dark shadow flashed before my eyes.
The split-soul man felt a chill on his forehead, followed by a sharp, intense pain. The next second, all his consciousness began to slip away.
Until this moment, this guy had actually been standing in what he thought was a very safe dark space, but his body was close to the edge of the darkness so that he could observe the situation in this secondary bedroom.
Li Jiuhe crouched on top of the door of the second bedroom, his feet planted on the edge of the open door to steady himself, waiting for this moment.
His body did not come into contact with the darkness outside the door; instead, he bent down and plunged the silver-corroded dagger into the darkness.
Having seen the Soul Splitter before, he knew that the other party was half a head taller than him, so the accuracy of this strike was no different from what he expected.
The silver-etched dagger was extremely lethal to these sequencers, and this slash struck right between their eyebrows.
Li Jiuhe originally wanted to do what he did when he killed the Terror Eater last time, and turn the hilt of the knife hard, but he found that the blade was stuck in the skull and he couldn't turn it at all.
This turn, however, directly pulled the split soul out of the darkness and knocked it down at the door of the second bedroom.
The hilt of the knife slammed to the ground with a thud, penetrating even deeper into the head of the soul-splitter until only the hilt remained outside.
Li Jiuhe jumped down from the door, turned the body of the soul-splitter over to examine it, and found that the guy's eyes were wide open, obviously he had died the moment the silver erosion dagger was inserted into his brain.
Looking out into the living room, I noticed that the intense blackness was dissipating at a visible rate.
However, the darkness still lingered, and Li Jiuhe dared not go out, fearing that if he were to come into contact with it, he would be dragged back into the Y-01 containment chamber.
He waited quietly, and at that moment, he placed the last time reset anchor point.
About two hours later, as the total time for this "survive" mission was about to end, he immediately activated the mission reset.
We've returned to the time anchor point we just set up.
Sitting on the bed in the second bedroom, which seemed to have never been slept on, I waited again.
Two hours later, when the total task time was almost up, the task was reset again, and then we continued to wait.
Two hours after the mission was reset, it finally got light outside.
The night ended.
Li Jiuhe went to the door and looked at the situation in the living room.
The intense darkness had completely vanished, and it looked no different from usual.
He waited another hour until it was broad daylight. By then, the time limit for the previous "survive" task had expired, and he seamlessly set up a new "survive" task.
He took out the prepared rechargeable table lamp, turned it on, and threw it into the living room. After finding that the light was still on and there was nothing unusual, he then walked into the living room.
Upon entering the master bedroom, the clones controlled by the split souls had long since disappeared, so everything seemed normal.
Li Jiuhe picked up his phone, which was playing snoring on a loop on the bed, turned off the player, and then noticed several missed calls on the phone.
One of the group leaders, Liu Qian, called, and Xu Wei and Lu Guan also called several times.
He hesitated for a moment, then called Liu Qian back. The phone was answered almost immediately after it rang.
"Hey, Team Leader Liu—"
Before Li Jiuhe could finish speaking, Liu Qian interrupted him: "Where are you now?"
"At home," Li Jiuhe said frankly. "Last night I was attacked by a split-soul member from the special team, but I killed him in return, and his body is still lying in the house."
Liu Qian on the other end of the phone was taken aback, paused for a moment, and then said, "Xu Wei and I are together, we'll be at your house soon. Don't go anywhere, be careful!"
Li Jiuhe sensed something was wrong: "Where's Team Leader Chen? I couldn't get through to him on the phone all night."
"He—is dead." Liu Qian's voice sounded as if she was suppressing her pain. "Director Meng has disappeared. Deputy Director Cao of the Southwest Regional Investigation Bureau and his task force arrived last night and have sealed off the regional shelter in the suburbs."
"What?"
Li Jiuhe was struck dumb: "Team Leader Chen—is dead?!"
He never expected that the situation would change so drastically in just one night.
With Chen Zhenghai's death, the situation instantly reversed, and what seemed like a passive situation suddenly became favorable to their side.
