So, after searching for two days, Song gave up, because all the clues she could find had run dry; the other side was extremely cautious. However, it should be said that this is typical of professionals. Professional assassins and intelligence brokers try their best to avoid giving themselves away, and unstable factors like the internet are something that even the most conservative intelligence brokers and assassins treat with utmost care, avoiding the use of the internet for communication as much as possible.

Li Wei said, "I used some special methods to find the mastermind. It's only fair to return the favor. Since the other party broke the rules, I won't be polite to them either."

Matsuko's handsome face showed a surprised expression, and she said, "Breaking the rules? Could the other party be the in-game character, Ashime? Trying to eliminate a competitor through such a violation?"

Li Wei had already put on his shoes and gently tugged at the tongues. Although sneakers are very comfortable, if the tongues aren't adjusted properly, they'll shift to the sides when you move, which can be uncomfortable.

Li Wei said, "It's Bing'equan from the eastern region. Although I knew he was a lawless and unscrupulous guy, I didn't expect him to target me directly."

Although Li Wei said this, he didn't find it strange at all. When he finished reading the manga, he knew what kind of person Bing'equan was. He used the sika deer to coerce the bud, or used the bud to coerce the sika deer, and pulled the sika deer that he couldn't form a contract with into his camp. In a very short time, he built up a huge force.

In terms of sheer numbers, the Eastern forces were the largest in the original manga storyline. However, the individual combat strength of the Eastern forces was not very good. Once they encountered the top-tier Sekirei, their lack of hard power would be exposed.

Song said with a serious expression, "Although we don't know if Bing Equan knows what the consequences of doing this will be, when he does such a thing, we are already locked in a life-or-death struggle."

Li Wei laughed and said, "I don't intend to kill him. I will make him lose his status as a Rei-mei, just like Mikogami Hayato. For someone with such a strong desire for power, this outcome will be more painful for him than killing him directly."

Song said, "This is the punishment he deserves. If Weiya dies, Jirei will also lose all bodily functions and enter a state of deep death. That guy wanted to use you, Li Weijun, to wipe out the entire Izumo Manor force. Even I will never forgive such a ruthless villain!"

Reed Sprout and Wagtail are practically in cahoots. If Wagtail dies, Reed Sprout's health will be negatively affected, turning her from a healthy person into someone weak and sickly. If Reed Sprout dies an unnatural death, Wagtail will simply collapse.

It is precisely because of this that Bing'equan's actions have crossed the bottom line of the entire Jigsaw game. If this were to be exposed, Bing'equan would instantly become a public enemy.

Chapter 1. Liquidation

Li Wei stood up and said, "I am your Reed Sprout, so I must protect you. If anyone dares to harm you, then that person is my enemy. I am not angry that Bing'equan is targeting me, because there are too many people who want to kill me. I don't even care about a clown like Bing'equan. However, my current identity is Reed Sprout, a being deeply bound to you by fate. If anything happens to me, you will all be severely injured. That is what makes me angry."

Li Wei was telling the truth about this. Although he wasn't the type to hold grudges, he was one who would definitely seek revenge if he had a grudge. If the goal of the "grudge" was achieved, he would definitely retaliate.

In order to conceal his abilities and not appear too detached from humanity, Li Wei chose to suppress this matter for two days before revealing that he had found the mastermind.

After all, the assassin had just failed in his assassination attempt and fallen, yet he had already found the mastermind behind it all by doing some quick calculations. This was truly terrifying.

The companions on the floating island had become accustomed to Livina's almost omnipotent power, much like the all-powerful "God" of a monotheistic religion.

However, the girls on the floating island have been with Li Wei for a very long time, so they are very clear about Li Wei's various overpowered abilities, except for his core secrets.

The girls in this world haven't been taken to the floating island by Li Wei yet, and they don't know his true secret. That's why Li Wei doesn't want to scare them, since the abilities he's already shown are already quite frightening.

Song said, "Then we must teach that guy a good lesson and let him know what real pain is."

Song is a very good-tempered person, but even a clay figure has a temper. In her opinion, what Bing Equan did was really too much, so even though she is good-tempered, she supported Li Wei in teaching the other party a lesson.

Li Wei approached Song, pulled her into his arms, and gently inhaled the girl's unique fragrance. He kissed her forehead and then released her.

The girl's body was very soft, and with a body temperature slightly higher than average, it was very comfortable to hold. However, he had important matters to attend to, so he reluctantly let go of her.

After leaving Izumo Manor, Li Wei immediately began traversing the high and low terrain, like a wagtail, using the rooftops of various buildings as footholds to quickly advance eastward. Even traveling at this slow pace, Li Wei's speed far surpassed that of an ordinary wagtail, and he arrived near the AGN headquarters building in about ten minutes.

Li Wei's perception ability is quite strong, and he can accurately lock onto his target. After locating the Ice Spring, he teleported there directly.

After finishing his work for the day, Izumi Hyoga returned to his private residence on the top floor of the building. The entire top floor of the AGN headquarters building was his personal private space, and even his secretary, Kakizaki, was not allowed to enter without his permission.

Moreover, the entire floor is equipped with comprehensive defenses, making it impossible for ordinary terrorists to break through the layers of security to enter. This is his "nest," one of the few places where he can feel at ease.

Bing Equan stayed alone in the bathtub near the window. The view of the city outside while he was taking a bath made him feel like a unique person who was high above others. He liked this feeling of looking down on others.

“Looking down from here, ordinary people look like trash…” Bing Equan muttered to herself.

Bing Equan reached for the tray beside him, where his favorite whiskey was placed. Enjoying a sip while taking a bath was one of his few hobbies.

However, his hand grasped at empty air, and Bing Equan instantly tensed up. He remembered very clearly where his wine glass was, and now that it had been moved, something was clearly wrong.

Bing Equan is very confident in his memory. He even participated in the Olympic Memory Competition when he was a child and achieved a very good ranking.

(The wine glass is gone... An intruder has entered this place, but why would they use this method to warn me? Or is this just their perverse sense of humor? But how exactly did they get in here?)

In an instant, Bing Equan's brain started working at high speed, thinking of a way to break the current predicament.

Levi poured the whiskey in his hand onto the carpet; he didn't like strong liquor.

Li Wei emerged from his invisibility and said, "Drinking alcohol while taking a bath can easily make you dizzy. If you pass out in the bathtub, it won't be easy for the people below to rescue you, just breaking through the defenses here won't be a simple matter."

Bing Equan turned around abruptly, and when he saw Li Wei's face clearly, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face turning ashen.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Are you surprised to see me?"

Although Izumi was extremely shocked, she quickly composed herself and said, "Northern Reed Sprout, how did you get in here? The defenses here are military-grade. Even if a wagtail wanted to break in, it would definitely cause a huge commotion."

Li Wei said, "What is difficult for others is very simple for me. I wanted to come in, so I came in."

Bing Equan forced herself to calm down and said, "The wine you just poured out was very expensive."

Li Wei said, "But I don't like hard liquor, so to me it's no different from garbage. And that's how I treat garbage."

Bing Equan felt that his predictions had some errors. The predictions showed that Li Wei had a very good personality, but now it seemed that the predictions were also wrong.

Li Wei said, "You don't think I came here to have a drink with you, do you?"

Bing Equan was a little flustered inside, but he maintained his composure on the surface and said, "Some things can be discussed over drinks. I have a lot of fine wine here. If you don't like strong liquor, I also have some low-alcohol wine."

Li Wei's expression turned serious, and he said, "I don't like drinking with people who want to kill me. I think you already know what happened to that assassin."

Bing Equan froze for a moment, then said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Assassin? What assassin?"

A bullet appeared in Li Wei's palm. He tossed it into the bathtub and said, "Playing dumb with me, huh? You did hide it very well, using layers of deception to distance yourself. But I'm not an ordinary person. Methods used to deceive ordinary people won't work on me."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Bing Equan felt a chill in his heart. He knew that he was doomed this time.

Chapter 1. Disqualification

Bing Equan said, "I know you're very angry right now, but there are no absolute enemies or friends in the world, are there? I can make amends to you as much as possible. As long as you're willing to ask, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Li Wei sighed and said, "I've seen too many people like you. People like you always habitually treat others like fools. To be honest, the type of person I hate the most is someone like you who can use anything to talk about interests."

Bing Equan said, "However, in the adult world, there is no right or wrong, only interests. I don't want it to be like this either, but this is the price of becoming an adult."

Li Wei said, "The way to become an adult is not just this. If you think the whole world is like this, then I can only say that you are pathetic. Some things cannot be measured by absolute interests. If you measure everything by interests, it means that in the eyes of those around you, you are just an aggregate of interests. The people who follow you are only after you can bring them benefits. Everything you have is based on interests. You have neither treated your friends sincerely nor your family sincerely. Even your secretary only stays by your side out of pity."

Li Wei's words bluntly struck at Bing Equan's Achilles' heel. From a young age, Bing Equan was groomed as the family heir, forbidding him from having normal human emotions. For the sake of the family's development, everything had to be measured by various interests. The Bing Equan family itself had this same atmosphere, making the entire family structure extremely distorted. Even among family members, there was no genuine affection, let alone sincere feelings for outsiders.

But now, facing the threat of death, Bing Equan wanted to refute, but he didn't have the courage. In his view, everything in this world can be measured by interests. If the other party doesn't accept the exchange of interests, it means that the interests offered are not enough.

In an attempt to mold him, his father took him to witness acts that crossed the line of basic human decency. His father took him to the home of an ordinary person, gave the male head of the household money, and demanded that he offer up his wife and daughter. Then, in front of the male head of the household, his father sexually assaulted the woman's wife and daughter.

However, faced with this situation, the male homeowner who had accepted the money simply watched with a smile. From that moment on, Bing Equan knew that everything except for profit—whether it was kinship or love—was fake and could be measured by profit. If the other party was unwilling, it was simply because the benefits offered weren't sufficient. As long as the bargaining chips were increased, the other party would always be willing to reach an exchange of benefits.

Bing Equan harbored deep resentment towards Li Wei, for with just a few words, he had struck at the very core of Li Wei's reluctance to speak of it. He had never experienced love or kinship, nor had he ever possessed true friendship. He knew that everything he had now was merely an aggregate of interests pieced together.

Faced with this situation, he could have played the ostrich, burying his head in the sand and pretending the problem didn't exist. However, Li Wei brutally exposed his innermost core, forcing him to confront his deepest nightmares and making him realize that he was a pathetic wretch, merely putting on a glamorous facade.

Numbing oneself for a long time can also be effective. Just like now, even when her sore spot is touched, Bing Equan can still remain relatively calm.

Bing Equan said, "Anything can be exchanged. As the commander-in-chief of AGN, although I don't have as much power as MBI, I still have far more than the average person. We can make a deal. I will try my best to satisfy whatever you want."

Li Wei said, "If I said I wanted your wagtail, would you agree?"

Bing'equan said, "I will naturally agree, however, a wagtail that has already molted cannot replace a reed shoot, so I cannot fulfill your request. But I can fulfill all your other requests, whether it is money, power, or beauty."

Li Wei said, "I have all of these things, and none of them can sway me. To be honest, money is just worthless paper to me. As for power, would I care about the opinions of ants? And as for beauties? To be honest, we are just reed shoots, while wagtails are far superior to ordinary human girls. If I like a wagtail, I will find a way to win her over myself. So, everything you're saying is meaningless to me."

The atmosphere became tense.

Bing Equan stood up, completely disregarding her current naked state, knelt on one knee before Li Wei, and resolutely said, "Then, I will pledge my allegiance to you!"

Li Wei raised an eyebrow, while Izumi's expression twisted slightly. The current situation reminded him of the famous scene in "Kamen Rider Build" where Utsumi pledged his loyalty. Now, all that's missing is a cane.

Li Wei chuckled, then laughed louder and louder, but his laughter grew colder and colder. When he finally stopped laughing, his expression was nothing but a cold sneer.

Bing Equan's smile grew increasingly indifferent; after his last trump card proved ineffective, he had given up the struggle.

Li Wei's expression changed, then he smiled and said, "You're really easily frightened. I'm a peace-loving person, how could I possibly take your life? So there's no need to put on that expression. However, you may escape the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. People who do wrong things always have to pay the price for their mistakes."

Bing Equan breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, the capricious Li Wei was a madman who could not be judged by common sense. So now he could only wait and see.

Li Wei said, "I won't take your life, but I have the power to make sure you can never participate in the wagtail game again."

Bing'equan said, "In the end, aren't you still going to kill me? If you want me to completely avoid participating in the Wagyu game, what other way is there but to take my life?"

Li Wei said, "You'll find out soon enough."

Bing'equan felt his strength rapidly draining away, and he saw a large number of light particles detaching from his body. As these light particles detached, he felt the connection between himself and the Wagyu becoming weaker and weaker. He finally felt fear; it turned out that Li Wei possessed the ability to sever his connection with the Wagyu without taking his life.

Li Wei said, "The reason you were able to become a reed sprout is because your ancestors were reed sprouts in ancient times. To be honest, I really hate the theory of bloodline. But conversely, bloodline can sometimes become a weapon, just like now. I will completely strip away the part of your bloodline that is different from ordinary people. From now on, you will no longer be able to make the wagtails transform. In other words, you are completely out of the game."

Chapter 1. Torture

As the special energy within her body was extracted, Bing Equan also felt pain—a pain as if her whole self had been ripped apart. It wasn't a direct physical torment, but a deeper, more spiritual tearing.

Bing'equan roared madly, "You might as well just kill me! Why are you taking away my right to participate in the game?!"

Bing'equan also had his own ambitions. Through some rumors, he learned an interesting thing: the final winner of the Wagyu game could gain the power to change his fate. He wanted to use this power to change his current twisted fate. It could be said that participating in the game was Hong's lifeline for him. He could only hold on to this straw tightly to avoid being swept away by the flood.

However, now, his only hope has been destroyed by Li Wei. Unable to participate in the game, he has no way to change his fate and can only continue to sink into depravity, which is what he fears most.

That's why Bing'equan would rather be killed outright; at least then, death would end it all, and she wouldn't have to continue to suffer mental torment like she does now.

Li Wei smiled knowingly and said, "How could I possibly let you off so easily? Death would be a relief for you. But don't worry, you now possess immortality no less than Wolverine's. This is a gift from me, allowing you to better experience the suffering of this mortal world. You will lose the ability to transform into a wagtail, completely losing the right to participate in the wagtail game. At the same time, you will become weak and sickly. Even a little wind and sun will cause your body to collapse under the weight of illness. But no matter how sick you become, you won't die. Enjoy this suffering."

Bing'equan roared, "You are a devil!"

Li Wei chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. My favorite thing to do is torment my enemies. You should feel honored because I treat you as an enemy. I have very high standards; not just any rotten fish can become my enemy."

Li Wei cast a vicious spell on Bing Equan, a spell that allowed him to know Bing Equan's condition and actions at any time. He could inflict various negative statuses on Bing Equan at will, making her experience the pain of various diseases, but without causing her to die from them.

Li Wei crushed the collected cluster of light particles and said, "You can slowly enjoy the torment that the disease brings you. For now, let you experience AIDS first, hehe."

Li Wei immediately activated the teleportation and left the AGN building. He no longer needed to worry about what happened afterward. Bing Equan was currently suffering terribly, which directly contributed a considerable amount of points to him. Although Li Wei was currently quite indifferent when it came to scoring, he wouldn't miss an opportunity like this where it was easy to score points.
