I am the one running the game

Chapter 466: Planting Demons, Creating Evil, and Killing Lives
Zhang Ran suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

He looked around and found that he was no longer on the street. Someone was carrying him back home.

Thinking back to my nightmare, I was still terrified. Fortunately, the nightmare gradually subsided, and I secretly comforted myself: "My sister is a candidate disciple of the Emperor's Temple. How dare that evildoer harm me!"

When I thought of this, a nameless anger emerged in my heart.

Who is he, and why was he beaten by an evil person?

A fierce light flashed in his eyes. He was waiting for his sister Zhang Lan to come back and make sure she would help him kill this evildoer.

Hearing the noise in the house, his sister Zhang Lan came in holding a bowl of medicine, which was obviously freshly boiled.

"I'm telling you, why don't you listen to me? Why do you go bullying others again?" Zhang Lan said with dissatisfaction in her tone.

This younger brother is not at all worry-free. She is indeed a candidate for the temple priest's apprenticeship, but she is not the only one. There are many competitors.

Because every time she cleaned up her brother's mess, she lost a lot of opportunities.

I could have removed the word "preparatory" and become a formal disciple long ago, but every time at the critical moment, I lost the opportunity because of my younger brother.

Of course she knew that it was her fellow preparatory disciples who had been plotting against her on several occasions before, but her brother was too stupid and was tricked every time.

If her parents had not died early, she would have raised Zhang Ran on her own and would have kicked him away for the sake of her own power.

"Sister, how can you say that to me? It's not my fault at all, it's all because of that evil monster!" Zhang Ran was very angry when he heard that Zhang Lan was not on his side. If the other party had just been beaten up by him and his money had been taken away, the things that happened later would not have happened.

However, Zhang Lan frowned and said, "Don't fool me. I already found out when I came back. It was you who went there first to cause trouble."

"Your family doesn't lack money or food, so why do you want to bully others?"

She initially wanted to investigate who was behind the evil, but it turned out to be her own brother.

"I...I just felt like playing for a moment and lost some money." Zhang Ran said with a twinkle in his eyes after hearing what Zhang Lan said.

I lost all my money after gambling, but the addiction came back and there was nothing I could do.

As for the casino loan? They simply didn't lend him money. It's not that they had never lent him money before, but after he lent it, he relied on Zhang Lan's influence to default on it.

After a while, the casino let him in when he had money, and kicked him out when he lost all his money.

They also thought about using Zhang Lan's identity to pressure the other party, but the other party didn't buy it at all. If Zhang Lan was a temple keeper, the casino would not be able to afford to offend her and would just run away.

But Zhang Lan is only a preparatory disciple, not even a formal disciple. The debts that were previously owed to her will be given to you for the sake of face. Anyway, the money will return to the casino after going around the gambling table.

However, if you want to act arrogantly, Zhang Lan is not qualified. You really think there is no one behind the casino. Besides, Zhang Lan is not omnipotent. In the local Emperor Temple, she is just a small shrimp.

"You went to gamble again? Didn't I tell you not to gamble? How dare you go?" Zhang Lan frowned and was very angry.

The last time she almost became a formal disciple was because Zhang Ran got into trouble with gambling and she went to bail him out. People gave him face, but she also missed the opportunity to become a formal disciple because of this incident.

"You're the one who's busy every day. What can I do at home alone? I can only gamble some money for entertainment. I can't hide at home every day." Zhang Ran stiffened his neck, his anger growing stronger and stronger.

I have been so restrained. If it were in the past, I would never have gambled. I would have done something more interesting long ago.

"You!" Zhang Lan's face turned red after being scolded by the other party: "You don't know the severity of the situation at all!"

"I am just a reserve disciple, and you are so domineering. If I become a formal disciple, you will have a better life."

"You are so good, you always do bad things, and I am still just a reserve disciple!"

Zhang Lan cursed in frustration.

In the past, Zhang Ran would have definitely been timid when hearing this, because he knew that Zhang Lan was angry.

But today was different. Being provoked like this, anger surged directly to my head.

"You are a loser, you can't even defeat a couple of whores with their doors half closed, yet you insist on saying that I ruined your business."

"I was just having some fun, it's nothing. You can't even solve such a small problem and you blame me?" Zhang Ran cursed back.

Snapped!
A crisp slapping sound was heard, and Zhang Lan slapped Zhang Ran directly.

"You...you hit me! You have never hit me since we were little, and you actually hit me for such a small thing?!!" Zhang Ran roared with red eyes.

Zhang Lan's expression turned cold.

"I just hit you, and you dared to yell at me?" Zhang Lan had completely given up on Zhang Ran at this moment: "This is the last time I will help you solve this problem. From now on, you and I have severed our relationship. You can do whatever you want, and I will not care about you anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

All of a sudden, Zhang Ran was completely panicked. In the past, Zhang Lan would always comfort him softly.

Now he actually ignored him, and then his anger rose again, and the malice in his heart emerged.

'How dare she do that?'

"In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhang Ran's eyes fell on the hatchet in the corner, and he stood up suddenly, picked it up, and rushed over.

The knife flashed, the head fell to the ground, and blood gushed out from the headless corpse like a fountain.

"Hahahaha, who do you think you are to be in charge of me?" Zhang Ran laughed arrogantly, but his laughter gradually became a little frightened. It was not until he stopped that he realized what he had done.

"I...this, this is not..." He had never expected that he could chop off Zhang Lan's head with just one knife. The emotion of fear took over everything in him, and he could not understand why this situation had happened.

"How can you be so useless that you died from just one blow? Damn it!"

He cursed and said that what he was afraid of was not that Zhang Lan would be killed by him, but that without Zhang Lan, his good days would be over.

As for killing Zhang Lan, he had no regrets at all.

"No, I have to escape quickly. If I kill the temple priest-to-be disciple of the Emperor Temple, those women in the Emperor Temple will definitely not let me go."

How could he not understand the situation of those women? They would do anything to gain merit. If he killed someone, it would definitely become a merit for the other party to use to get to the top. He might even chop off his head and use it as a decoration.

So this is not a place to stay for long.

"But... where can I escape to?" Zhang Ran was indeed a bully on weekdays, but he still had vision and brains, and knew who to offend and who to bully.

Of course he understood that now the whole world is the emperor's dojo, where can he escape to?

Destroy the body? This is simply impossible. Are the neighbors blind and deaf, or are the disciples of the Emperor Temple who came to investigate that day fools?

"It's better..."

When fear reached its limit, some horrifying thoughts came into my mind.

Since we can't escape, we might as well wipe out the entire Emperor Temple so that there will be no evidence.

Not to mention too much, I still have enough time to escape.

Originally, he did not have this ability, but just now, he realized that how could he be able to easily behead a temple priest's candidate disciple with a blunt hatchet?
"The Dao Heart Planting Demon Method is actually true. What does that evil way mean?"

How could he not understand why at this moment?

Don't be fooled by his tall and strong appearance. In fact, after Zhang Lan became a candidate disciple for the temple priest, he spent all his time in pleasure and was hollowed out by alcohol and sex. He was just an empty shell.

What people are afraid of is not his sturdy physique, but the power behind him.

He also knew this, but he was just being fearless.

“Never mind him, just kill him first.” When Zhang Ran had this thought, he suddenly felt that the world was vast.

He went out with the hatchet in his hand, without wiping the blood off his body or caring about the frightened looks from others.

Go straight to the Emperor Temple.

"Stop, you..." A servant who was guarding the Emperor Temple wanted to stop him.

But before he could finish his words, Zhang Ran swung the hatchet in his hand and chopped down diagonally, and the servant was immediately cut in half at the shoulder.

However, the servant was not dead yet, as Zhang Ran stabbed him again in the neck.

"It's not an illusion, hahaha!" After smelling the blood, Zhang Ran felt refreshed.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces. Someone actually dared to be so presumptuous in front of the Emperor's Temple.

However, after being shocked, they all naturally ran away in panic. Zhang Ran looked like a madman, killing people indiscriminately as soon as he came up. What if they didn't run away and he would chop himself with a knife?

"Killing people can make you stronger. Isn't this method a hundred times better than practicing Taoism and serving the emperor?"

Zhang Ran felt as if he had been entrusted with a mission, and rushed directly into the local temple of the Emperor with a hatchet in hand, chopping left and right with the hatchet, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

Even the temple keeper was hacked to death by his axe.

"I thought you were so high up that you could definitely crush me to death with just one finger."

"I didn't expect that you are just a human being." Zhang Ran said disdainfully, "Why can you enjoy such power while I have to do it secretly even when I kill someone?"

A temple keeper was very angry when he heard this. It was so unscrupulous to be able to justify killing people.

"Please ask Goddess Miaoran to exorcise the demon!" The temple keeper asked the deity to exorcise the demon first. Zhang Ran was indeed weird.

Upon seeing this, murderous intent emerged in Zhang Ran's eyes. He approached in three or five steps and chopped the half-god temple priest vertically with his hatchet, cutting him in half.

Even the process of praying to the gods was interrupted.

"Damn it, you actually dared to pray to the gods instead of waiting to die. Today, no one will be left alive in this Emperor's Temple!" Zhang Ran shouted angrily. His dissatisfaction had reached its peak, and even a black cloud composed of various negative emotions appeared on his body.

At first glance, he doesn't look like a human, but rather a demon, an alienated human-demon.
