Star Iron: Imaginary numbers? Dude, I play with quantum reconstruction.

Qiong rested her chin on her hand and thought for five seconds before concluding, "I understand. You pulled the trigger and self-destructed! You sent both enemies and allies to their deaths. And from this moment on, your sky will never have a bright sun, only an eternal, pitch-black night... So you're called the Demon God of Eternal Night?"

Xi Lian pulled Qiong aside, "Partner, this doesn't seem like something to joke about, does it? No matter what, you can't say that this detective self-destructed."

Immortal was almost at peace. "Kid, you don't have a very pleasant way of speaking. But what you said is quite true... Maybe you're more suited to be a detective than I am, I'm serious."

Qiong kept shaking her head: "No, putting aside the lack of social insurance and housing fund, I don't lack money right now."

"Uh...it's true after all."

Undying Path spread his hands out. "Alright, isn't it time to end this? My late-night snack order is almost here."

Star locked the Eternal Night Demon on the ground in a cage, and looked at the Undying Path, saying, "It won't come."

Undying glanced at the pocket watch. "Little girl, hasn't half a system time already passed?"

Xing shook his finger. "The time flow rate is 1:800. When we locked you up, we were worried you'd engage in a protracted war. If things dragged on and something unexpected happened outside, we wouldn't have any room for error."

Undying Path looked at Xing, then glanced at Jing Yuan, "Is this a skill that Nameless Guest should possess?"

Jing Yuan put one hand on his hip and spread the other out. "Mr. Lamancha, don't ask me. I don't know either. Each of the nameless guests has their own skills. I can't answer all of them."

"Jingyuan, are you going to pass the buck to me too?"

"I'm not just passing the buck, I really don't know."

Tanuki Magazine Office — cubicle

"Goodbye, old friend... I'll remember all the little things we shared..."

The detective stared at the freezer, even though it was melted, even though it had lost its original function, even though it was no longer as cool as it used to be, even though its motor was exposed...

Even if the detective truly forgets it, the rheumatoid arthritis and chronic leg pain it left behind will cause him to repeatedly recall their past days...

"Old Bai! Don't be as blunt as that kid!"

Xing waved her hand at the freezer that had melted into a puddle, restoring it to its original condition. "Uh, why not just rebuild it? Why make such a fuss over a freezer?"

Undying Path stared at the freezer, which looked brand new, and paused for a moment. "Uh, young lady, could you restore it? I just ordered a bigger new freezer."

Xing frowned. "Then why are you making such a scene of life and death here?"

"Well, I've been sleeping with it for quite a while now, so I've gotten attached to it..."

Qiong glanced at the freezer, then at the Undying Path. "Master Kick-a-Kid... are you even human? I've heard of heterosexuality, homosexuality, and human-machine relationships, but this is the first time I've ever heard of a human-cuckold relationship... and you're even fickle. What a scumbag... I've decided, from now on I'll call you Master Kick-a-Kid."

How could he tolerate such a powerful provocation? As the leader of the righteous heroes, how could he possibly stand it? If the opportunity for revenge was right in front of him, he would never let a grudge linger!

"Jingyuan...I want to punch him."

Jing Yuan is now stuck in a rut, and it's not right to help either side. "Mr. Lamancha, this child is like this. He has scolded everyone in the alliance. The child is ignorant, and Ji Feng doesn't teach him either. Please forgive him."

Bai E blocked Undying's path, "Go ahead and hit me. My partner is more straightforward. Besides... if you hit him, he might fight back because he has a bad temper, and it wouldn't be good if you got hurt."

Bai E's block directly dealt a super-damage to Undying Path. Yes, even someone like Qiong, who speaks bluntly and whose four out of five sentences offend people, has his own companions.

But his companions had become stars he had personally extinguished in the darkness...

"Oh... my stars..."

Chapter 727 Qiong: He wouldn't go out and eat people in the middle of the night, would he?

"Your stars...? You're quite the ladies' man, aren't you? Even Brother Hua only cheats on one person, and then rekindles the flame. You... you've got a whole bunch of stars... Even though you're a chivalrous leader, you can't really act like an emperor with a harem of three thousand beauties, can you?"

The road to immortality:......

"I can't take this anymore! Only one person will leave here standing today! You brat! Get ready!"

"Mu Da! Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da!"

8 seconds later...

"Hey, scumbag, have you had enough? Hey... can't you hear me? Don't you think it's disgusting to hit people like this? You're hitting people like you're begging for mercy..."

Qiong watched as Undying Path frantically unleashed Meow Meow Fist at her chest, and delivered a short punch to him.

"Buga—"

"boom--!"

"Cough cough cough... Ah... that train kid took advantage of my old age and weakness, he punched me so hard I can't breathe..."

Undying Path's head was half embedded in the wall, with only its mouth sticking out. Its entire body was fused with the wall in a twisted posture.

Qiong looked at her fist suspiciously. "I didn't use any force... I waited until you finished hitting me before I pushed... I only pushed you a little... Are you trying to scam me!"

Undying broke free from the wall, dusted himself off, and said, "Cough cough... Even though I staged this accident... you still have to pay me!"

Qiong was speechless. "Are you obsessed with money? You'd rather die than give up your money..."

"Kid...that's because I can only choose one of them."

Xing looked confused. "Don't you have a billion? If you have a billion, why are you asking for money here?"

"That happened before, it's over now."

"Um... Mr. Laszlo, you have over 2 million credits left in your account, it seems they were refunded."

"La Si Tu? Little girl, you and your brother... are you two some kind of naming disaster? Can you please stop coming up with random names? If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job... If all else fails, just call me Detective. I've really had enough of you two..."

Undying Path sighed repeatedly. If he hadn't accepted the money, he would have started his hunting expedition again by now.

Although he was just punched and sent flying, the Sea Patrol Ranger's motto is "Never back down."

"I will investigate the returned money... even if the truth isn't pleasant..."

Qiong looked at the Undying Path, then searched on her phone for "Under what circumstances can 1 billion become 200 million?" Four answers popped up: 1. Construction engineering. 2. Gambling. 3. Charity. 4. Money laundering.

Qiong scrutinized the Undying Path and, combining this with Xing's words about retreating, realized that the detective was laundering money!

"Hey scumbag, are you laundering money? Turning 10 billion into 2 million... You're making a huge mistake! I just checked, isn't it normal to launder half? What did you use to launder it? Cryptocurrency or stocks?"

Undying Path froze instantly, completely unable to comprehend what Qiong was thinking. "Hiss... Ah—! Heavenly Bow—! Save me! Get this brat away from me! The farther the better!"

"If this keeps up, I'll have to add blood pressure medication to my late-night snacks..."

The narrator, squatting on the freezer, said to Undying Path, "Mr. Undying Path, are you sure you want to add it? What if you buy the blood pressure medication, but this nameless customer doesn't want to be angry with you anymore?"

Undying Path gritted his teeth and said, "Old Bai, aren't you still here? Aren't you the same?"

"Mr. Undying, shall I place my order now?"

"Okay, okay... As expected, this money isn't so easy to collect..."

"And you guys... Hey, let's go, let's go. My temple is too small to hold so many of you. Besides, this temple is rented."

Xing pointed to the pit in the wall: "Rented? What are you planning to do with this hole?"

“I’ll fix it…no need for you to do it, little girl from the Jifeng family. That kind of power would make life boring.”

"Um, detective, did you get a refund for the freezer?"

"No... but you can have it if you want."

“I can convert your old freezer into a wearable device. That way you won’t fall into the trap of making the wrong choice. Like this—”

Xing placed his hand on the freezer, and after a moment of distortion, the freezer transformed into something resembling a wearable hand armor.

"Ah—this little girl is still more pleasing to the eye..." Undying Path picked up the freezer gloves that had been with him for a long time, and then noticed something strange.

"Why is there still a string here?"

"Charging cable, needs to be charged."

"Oh...I understand." Undying Path put on freezer gloves, plugged in the cord, and pressed the switch...

Undying Path looked quite pleased with himself, finally able to target the drug effectively, no longer just punishing the arm and legs.

"Until we meet again, Detective."

......

Downstairs from the magazine office —

Why did you modify his gloves?

"Even if it's used for surveillance, and even if the leader of the Rangers is there, and even if my senior uncle is guarding it, it's still an ancient beast after all. The basic structure of that Eternal Night Demon God is very similar to that of the Doomsday Beast. I looked up the Doomsday Beast, and the company's database says that it's a weapon made from the remains of an ancient beast."

"So, it's most likely a living ancient beast. But I don't know how he tamed it?"

Qiong immediately thought of something bad, "Taming...this kind of evil thing usually only obeys when human sacrifices are used. Would it go and eat people in the middle of the night?"

"Bai'er, let's go rob him of his midnight snack. I'm starting to suspect what's in it."

Bai E was taken aback. He felt that stealing someone else's midnight snack was really too immoral. "Huh? Partner, are you sure? This isn't right, is it?"

Qiong frowned. "Not good? Recall that simulated snake head. The first thing it said when it gained intelligence was 'hungry.' If we exclude the possibility that my sister is not skilled enough, the demon god in his hands should be like that as well."

"Given his out-of-control behavior, I suspect this loss of control was caused by his failure to eat people on time today."

Bai E looked at Qiong and said, "General Jing Yuan should be able to handle this, right?"

Qiong silently shook her head. "How can we let Master Uncle fight alone? I'm even wondering... is it possible that the real leader of the Sea Patrol Rangers is already dead? And this scumbag is only thinking he is Lamancha because the Eternal Night Demon God parasitizing his body devoured Lamancha's memories? In reality, he's just being misled by a memory that doesn't belong to him?"

"If time continues to drag on... and his cognition returns, then have we let a monster go free?"

This bold conjecture surprised Xi Lian. "Partner, your guesses are getting more and more outrageous, aren't they?"

"Is it outrageous? I think it's plausible. Mimi, think about it, in that space we were in before, wasn't that dark monster very similar to his Eternal Night Demon God?"

"Stop, bro, when did you start thinking so much? Are these things really things you could come up with?"

"I'm mostly a brainless idiot, but occasionally I'm quite smart. Without further ado, let's steal his midnight snack!"

Chapter 728 Pu Li Ce: Undying Path, you're not dead?!

"A serving of braised pork trotters with chopped chili? Half a box of smashed cucumber? A spicy braised duck leg?"

"Eight bananas? Nine apples? Household CCB calcium channel blocker? What are these? This doesn't make sense!"

Qiong carefully searched through the Undying Path's takeout bag; the deliveryman for this meal had been kicked away by him using credit points.

Xi Lian frowned. "This seems like just a normal takeout order, doesn't it?"
