Frizzy remained silent, seemingly struggling internally.

Faceless sensed that the other party was about to be persuaded, and continued to persuade with a smile: "What? Don't you want revenge? Can you really let go of your hatred? Even if you can, don't you think about your future? Do you really want to die? The underworld will never let you go. Cooperating with me is your only way to survive."

Time ticked by, and Frey still hesitated. Finally, Frey, in her little girl form, clenched her fists and met that face with a determined look.

"Is everything you said true?"

“Absolutely true. If you don’t believe me, you can call Zhang Hao. That guy has close ties with the Underworld. Ask him if the Underworld is improving the eighteen levels of hell? If it’s researching methods to quickly purify sins?”

"Okay, give me a day to think it over. If what you're saying is true, I'll consider cooperating. On the contrary, if you dare to lie to me, I won't let you get away with it."

The face twisted eerily for a moment, then said confidently, "No problem, I'll be waiting for you. Our cooperation will definitely be very pleasant."

The faceless face gradually melted into the air, like evaporating water vapor, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Frizz tried to track him down, but he disappeared too quickly to keep up.

This guy is indeed not simple.

Frizzle pondered for a moment, then turned and left.

We must contact Zhang Hao as soon as possible to inquire about the situation, and at the same time, we must be more vigilant.

Zhang Hao was worried about the situation in the West and was considering whether to change his identity to continue the investigation. However, the other side was clearly wary of his infiltration. All signs indicated that the mastermind behind the scenes had special detection methods, and as long as he set foot on Western soil, the other side could track his whereabouts through special means.

This is practically like being completely excluded from the investigation scene, losing all eligibility to continue the investigation.

"Jingle Bell"

The phone suddenly rang. Zhang Hao took the phone out of his pocket, and the screen showed that it was Fuli calling.

After the call connected, Freely's voice came through.

"Can you guarantee this call won't be monitored?" Frizz asked bluntly.

Zhang Hao immediately cast an encryption spell, and an invisible ray of light dissipated in the air, completely isolating the connection between them.

"No one can eavesdrop on our conversation now, so you can rest assured. Why are you suddenly so serious? Have you found out something?"

Zhang Hao inquired with concern.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have contacted you so quickly. Last night I met a very strange guy; he only had one face and disappeared incredibly fast, even I couldn't track him. He said something to me."

Frizzle repeated exactly what Faceless had said.

After hearing the story, Zhang Hao couldn't help but facepalm: "That guy is right. The Underworld is indeed researching methods to purify sins, with the core guiding principle being to improve work efficiency. But overall, this is just to make the Underworld run better, not specifically targeting you. Don't fall for it."

Although Frizzle is a top-tier demon, she doesn't pose a fatal threat to the Underworld. The Underworld doesn't need to specifically increase its overall efficiency or develop targeted solutions for a single demon.

In short, Freya doesn't have that much influence.

Hearing this, Freya felt relieved: "I wasn't fooled, but I was definitely startled at the time."

Frizzy's cheerful tone suggested a relaxed attitude. It was wonderful that the other party hadn't been sown discord.

Zhang Hao spoke of Faceless: "Since that's the case, you should play along and agree to cooperate with him, and see what he does next. Keep me informed of his actions, and I'll establish a special connection with you. If there's any real danger, I'll possess you directly and use a summoning spell to ensure your safety." Freya understood that Faceless was quite dangerous and didn't object to Zhang Hao's suggestion.

In fact, it is quite dangerous for these evil spirits to perform spirit possession spells. If they are not careful, they may be possessed by the other party, and their souls may be completely erased.

However, Zhang Hao is not a malicious person; his principles and moral bottom line always give people a sense of security.

That's why Freya readily agreed without hesitation.

Zhang Hao understood the immense trust behind this promise, and he was sincerely grateful: "Fuli, you must be careful when you act, and don't expose yourself prematurely, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

Frizz said she would be more careful. After ending the call, she saw "Faceless" again that night.

She was sitting on a swing on the top floor of a skyscraper, gently swaying. In the moonlight, she wore a black feather dress, looking charming and lovely, but the black attire added a touch of eeriness. Especially when she hummed a death incantation while swinging, the entire rooftop was shrouded in a sinister atmosphere.

The faceless figure slowly appeared before her.

A solitary face floated in the air, without a torso or limbs, only its eyes constantly moving, making it appear particularly sinister.

"The deadline has passed. Have you thought it through?" Faceless stared intently at Freya.

Frizzle swung gracefully on the swing, her cherry lips parted slightly, her voice as clear as a nightingale's: "Of course, I've already thought it through, and I'm willing to cooperate with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, crows perched on telephone poles in the night sky began to caw.

"What are the specific details of the cooperation? If the conditions don't satisfy me, I don't think we need to continue talking."

Seeing the smug look on the other party's face, Freya snorted and added her request.

They are indifferent to any conditions proposed by the other party and will eventually agree to cooperate.

“It’s simple. I know you have complete control of this state. You just need to screen out all the people with special talents within the state and give me the list.”

Ok?
Upon hearing this request, Freya immediately became alert.

Remember the Sun God Cult that was wiped out before? Its leaders were keen to search for people with so-called "special talents".

It seems this guy is colluding with the Sun God Cult.

Sure enough, he was very likely the mastermind behind the Sun God Cult incident, and perhaps even the mastermind behind the case of the missing three souls and seven spirits.

"Special talent? You mean those who have the aptitude to cultivate Yin-Yang magic?" Fri asked, feigning confusion.

"That's right, I urgently need this kind of talent right now."

Looking at the face that opened and closed as it spoke, Frizzy recalled Zhang Hao telling her about the process of eradicating the Sun God Cult.

It is said that during the battle, they discovered that the underground plaza of the cult contained countless transparent coffins, inside which lay those special talents that were needed.

Frizzle felt a slight tremor in her heart. If she remembered correctly, Mr. Cold Umbrella was also a cultivator, and a rather powerful one at that. But even such a master was ultimately ambushed and sealed in a coffin.

If Zhang Hao hadn't noticed the anomaly and spent a great deal of time and energy investigating, Han San would probably have been trapped in the coffin forever, unable to escape the clutches of the Sun God Cult.

"Why do you urgently need people with special talents?" Frey asked, feigning ignorance. (End of Chapter)
