The assassin pointed his gun at Li Wei, but didn't have the courage to fire. The methods Li Wei displayed were truly terrifying. The assassin was a man of considerable experience, but this was the first time he had ever witnessed such extraordinary power. He knew that the gun in his hand was no different from a fire poker to someone like Li Wei; it was only good for boosting his courage.

Li Wei had already seen into the other party's mind through his mind-reading ability, and knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't get any information. The other party had taken on this business through an intermediary and had no idea who the client who paid for it was.

Li Wei's hand, resting in his pocket, was interlocking its fingers like a sophisticated occult calculating instrument, performing a miniature ritualistic spell. He was using this method to rewind time, using the mysterious assassin as a clue to divine the identity of the intermediary, and then, through the intermediary's identity, to find the clients who had contact with him.

In less than ten seconds, Li Wei had already obtained the final answer. This ability to glimpse fate consumes very little energy if you only look at the past, but if you look at the future, even just a fragment of the future, the consumption is enormous. The further the future you see is from the present, the greater the consumption, even to the point that Li Wei's cultivation level cannot afford the price.

Of course, someone has disrupted the secrets of heaven. If Li Wei wants to see information from the past, he needs to pay extra magical power, or even pay a huge price like peeking into the future. However, concealing the secrets of heaven is not something that ordinary gods and demons can do.

To Li Wei's surprise, the mastermind behind the assassination was Bing Equan, a powerful figure in the Eastern region. The assassin had two plans: if they could kill him outright, that would be ideal; even if they couldn't, they could force him to reveal some of his trump cards. As long as they kept their identities hidden, Bing Equan would benefit either way.

If Li Wei didn't possess divination abilities, allowing him to easily glimpse past information, simply following the assassin's trail would have taken considerable time, even if he eventually found the mastermind. However, now, Li Wei knew in less than ten seconds who he should seek revenge against if he wanted to take his revenge.

However, Li Wei's divination ability is a secret, so he has to pretend for now.

Li Wei said calmly, "Either way, you're going to die. Tell me who the buyer is who sent you to kill me, and I might give you a quick death."

The young assassin quickly said, "I'm just an executor who does things for money. How could I possibly know such things? Give me a chance, I'll ask my intermediary!"

In order to survive, the assassin abandoned his professional ethics and prepared to betray his clients. However, what he didn't know was that Li Wei already knew who the clients were.

Li Wei said, "I almost forgot, I know your industry rules fairly well. Intermediaries will never sell their clients' information. Even if you're willing to ask, you won't get any answers. So, you might as well go to hell and report to Satan."

"Spare me! I'm willing to pledge my allegiance to you!" The young assassin quickly dropped his pistol, jumped like a frog, and knelt down in front of Li Wei. Without any disgust, he kissed Li Wei's shoes.

Upon seeing this, Yuehai, who was standing nearby, made a "hey" expression on her face and quickly took two steps back, as if to say, "I need to stay away from this pervert."

Li Wei said calmly, "Adults must be responsible for their actions. I can understand that you were trying to assassinate me out of a sense of duty."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, the young assassin lowered his head even further. He could sense the aura of death emanating from Li Wei. Compared to Li Wei, the killing intent he had cultivated by killing hundreds of people was nothing but a joke.

Li Wei said, "I'll give you three minutes. You can use these three minutes to get out of my sight. If you can escape, I won't pursue you. But if I catch up with you, then don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The young assassin got up and ran towards the rooftop entrance, too lazy to even pick up the guns he had left on the ground. Right now, all he wanted was to get away from Li Wei.

Watching the assassin's figure disappear at the rooftop entrance, Yuehai said to Li Wei, "Li Wei, are you just going to let him go like this?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "I only released half of it; the other half depends on his fate."

Li Wei took out a square piece of white paper from his sea of ​​consciousness and began to fold it slowly.

Yuehai asked curiously, "Li Weijun, you really have a lot of leisure time. Even after just being assassinated, you still have the leisure to do handicrafts. But what are you folding? I can fold some paper too."

Li Wei sat down cross-legged, pressed the paper against his lap and folded it, quickly completing the rough shape, which was some kind of animal with four long legs.

Li Wei said, "I'm folding a hunting dog. I told him to run for three minutes, and the dog will be finished in three minutes. As for whether he will survive, that depends on who runs faster, him or the dog."

Yuehai also squatted down and carefully watched Li Wei's origami technique. Watching Li Wei fold origami was like appreciating art. Soon, a slender dog with a long neck and long legs was completed.

Yuehai said, "That's amazing! You can fold it with just one sheet of paper. If it were me, I would probably use two or three sheets of paper to piece it together."

Li Wei said, "It's so-so. I quite like origami, so I did some research on it."

Li Wei tossed the tiny paper dog from his palm. The paper dog rapidly expanded in mid-air, becoming the size of a gray wolf by the time it landed. It barked and then dashed away like the wind, disappearing from sight in an instant.

Tsukimi exclaimed in shock, "What kind of ability is this?! Even the Sekirei can't do something like this!"

Chapter 1. Ascension from the Moon Sea

Three minutes is enough time to do many things, such as escape from the building. As an assassin, the young man always made sure to leave himself an escape route when carrying out a mission, even if it was to kill an ordinary person with no power or influence. Therefore, he had long ago prepared an "escape route" to ensure that he could leave the scene quickly, regardless of whether the mission was successful or not.

Now, the "escape route" worked. It was a rappelling tunnel inside the building. It only took him a little over two minutes to rappel down from the top floor to the bottom floor, and then he left the building through the back door's emergency exit.

The young man was terrified. His opponent could traverse hundreds of meters, instantly appearing behind him from a bustling street to the rooftop of a building at least 140 meters above the ground. If his opponent could do something so terrifying, what else couldn't he do?

Therefore, even with only three minutes to escape, he dared not relax for a moment. After leaving the building, he started his motorcycle, wanting to get as far away from here as possible.

The motorcycle started moving, accompanied by a piercing roar. The middle-aged man revved the engine to its maximum, almost lifting the front wheel off the ground. Looking in his rearview mirror, he saw the building getting further and further away and breathed a sigh of relief. At his current speed, it would only take him a few dozen seconds to cover a distance so far that he could no longer see the building in his rearview mirror.

"I survived! I'm leaving this damn place! It was terrifying! Damn it! I'm going back to my homeland and never coming back to this hellhole again!" The middle-aged man cursed all sorts of filthy words. Having escaped death, he chose to vent his fear in this way.

Soon, the motorcycle turned onto a main road and headed in a direction away from the capital city.

Just then, a white shadow appeared on the side of the motorcycle. The middle-aged man caught a glimpse of the speeding shadow out of the corner of his eye, turned his head away instantly, and then showed a shocked expression.

It was a pure white beast, its body sharply defined, looking like a paper sculpture. The young man shook his head, his eyes widening in horror. What terrified him was that it was indeed a paper beast, which, as it charged forward, gave him a sinister smile.

"FUK! FUK! FUK! What the hell is that?! God, save your faithful lambs!"

In the killer's desperate gaze, the white paper beast leaped high and instantly overturned his motorcycle. Losing his balance, the killer rolled on the ground like a bowling pin that had been knocked over, until he crashed into the roadside guardrail and finally stopped, covered in wounds.

Because he ran so suddenly, he wasn't wearing a helmet or any special motorcycle protective gear. Falling like that would have nearly killed him.

The young assassin looked at his twisted right leg and knew he could no longer get up.

"God! I am your faithful lamb, how could you bear to let me die at the hands of this monster!" the young assassin roared in despair.

A paper hound with a human-like smile strolled forward unhurriedly, approached the assassin, circled him, and frightened him so much that he crawled on the ground in terror.

The hound opened its large mouth and bit down, instantly severing the assassin's neck. Blood gushed out from the wound, staining half of the hound's body red.

After doing all this, the hunting dog spontaneously combusted without fire, turning to ashes and disappearing completely in just a few seconds, leaving behind only a mutilated corpse torn apart and a motorcycle that had been smashed into a pile of scrap metal not far away. Another unsolved mystery was added to the Eastern Capital.

........................

Li Wei stretched and said, "That man was caught by the hunting dogs. It's a pity. If he had been a little faster, he could have run out of the dogs' maximum range and been free."

This is a lie. Li Wei's origami puppets can be remotely controlled over extremely long distances without delay. These simple puppets with fixed intelligence do not even need a separate thought process to control them. They are cannon fodder mass-produced for combat, and their greatest use is to delay the opponent's actions. If Li Wei really wanted to, he could produce hundreds of such cannon fodder in a second, and he could raise an entire army in ten seconds.

Of course, Li Wei didn't want to reveal his true strength to Yuehai yet, which is why he leisurely spent three minutes meticulously completing the origami steps, while also lying that this origami puppet had a maximum range of motion. Li Wei didn't want to expose his true nature as a "god."

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Yuehai didn't see the killer's gruesome death, nor did she realize how cruel Li Wei was when facing those who offended him.

Yuehai said, "That's great! You can fold paper into all sorts of small animals and even control them."

Yuehai felt a little envious. She was an origami enthusiast, and her favorite things to fold were origami cranes and little rabbits. If she could bring the origami cranes and little rabbits to life, just watching these little guys move would make her happy all day long. She was a very easily satisfied person.

Li Wei said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Yuehai said in surprise, "This special ability must be your unique skill, Li Weijun. Would it be alright if you taught it to me?"

. .........

Li Wei laughed and said, "It's just a trivial skill for entertainment. Making yourself happy is the greatest use of this ability. If you want to learn, I'm naturally willing to teach you, but in your current state, I can't guarantee whether you can learn it. If you're willing to ascend to immortality, the probability of you succeeding will be higher."

Yuehai approached Li Wei, her face flushed, and whispered, "Let's make this clear first, I'm only willing to become your sashimi to pay off my debt to you. After all, you have to give something to get something, right?"

Li Wei knew very well that Yuehai was a very conservative and proud person, but unlike those who were extremely proud, Yuehai was a combination of high offense and low defense, and she would become as shy as a demure young lady once she met someone.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I understand. But no matter why you came to my side, you have become my wagtail, that's a fact, and I will treat you like a wife."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Yue Hai turned her head slightly to the side.

The ceremony concluded, and the ascension was complete...

Enormous wings of light extended from behind Yuehai, and the limiter within her body loosened, allowing her to unleash even greater power.

Li Wei looked at the girl leaning against him and said, "Now, the probability of you learning that paper manipulation technique has increased significantly."

Yuehai softly hummed in agreement and buried her face in Li Wei's chest.

Chapter 1. Receivables

Two days later.

The fact that Yuehai had achieved ascension could not be kept secret from MBI. Yuehai explained her situation during a phone call with her grandmother. As a result, her ascension was recorded in MBI's database and logged into the server. Anyone who could hack into the MBI server could see her and Li Wei's information.

Inside the AGN headquarters building in the eastern part of the Eastern Capital, Bing Equan was sitting in his office, looking at the materials brought up by his subordinates, feeling inexplicably irritated.

After two knocks, the door was pushed open, and a man wearing glasses walked in.

"Kakizaki, you're still the same as always. When you're in a hurry, you knock on the door very urgently. What's wrong that makes you like this?" As the leader of the entire force, Izumi Hyoga must remain calm under any circumstances. Otherwise, if he panics, the lower levels of the entire force will be filled with anxiety. Therefore, he often envies his secretary, Kakizaki.

Kakizaki and he had been childhood friends. It was precisely because he trusted Kakizaki that he made Kakizaki his personal secretary and entrusted him with all kinds of important matters.

Kakizaki said, "According to information from our MBI informant, the matter of the assassin's disappearance has been clarified. The assassination attempt failed, and the assassin's death was extremely gruesome."

Bing Equan frowned. He had been restless for the past two days. He had sent people to monitor the area near Chuyun Manor and witnessed that Li Wei, the assassination target, was unharmed, but the assassin had disappeared. This made him feel uneasy. Now that MBI had found the assassin's whereabouts, his unease had finally lessened.

Bing Equan leaned back in his chair. The assassin's whereabouts had been found. It didn't matter what the assassin's fate was; all he wanted was the result.

Bing Equan said coldly, "I'm a little curious about how he died. Anyway, we passed the mission to that assassin through layers of intermediaries. The other side probably doesn't know that I was the one who gave the order."

Kakizaki opened the folder under his arm, pulled out a few printed sheets, took a few steps forward, turned the sheets around, and pushed them in front of Hyoga Izumi.

Kakizaki said, "The manner of his death was quite gruesome, almost like he was attacked by a wild beast."

Bing Equan looked at the image on the printed map, her eyes narrowing slightly, feeling a bit nauseous.

It was a headless corpse, its head lying not far from the body, blood flowing down the severed neck, like a bizarre painting on the ground. What was most strange was that the neck was severed very roughly, as if it had been forcibly twisted off—no, it should be said that it had been bitten off by some ferocious beast.

Bing Equan flipped the printed image over; he didn't want to see such a disgusting scene anymore. If he continued looking at it, it would ruin his appetite for dinner.

Bing Equan said, "The other side is warning us. This tactic is a form of intimidation."

........................

At the entrance of Chuyun Manor, Li Wei sat in the foyer, preparing for his departure.

Song, wearing a swimsuit, stood behind Li Wei and said, "It's already past four in the afternoon. Are you still going out at this hour?"

Li Wei said, "There's a debt that should have been collected a couple of days ago, but it's been delayed until now. It's time to collect it."

Song asked, "Do we already know who did it?"

Song has been investigating this matter for the past two days, but the internet has its limitations. Although all kinds of important information can be collected online, not all information can appear online. Traditional methods of transmitting information can effectively avoid being spied on by hackers.
