The more he thought about it, the better he felt about the poisoning method. Fox Ears got out of bed and pondered it carefully. Ruan Mingchu and the other two did not restrict his movements. He could even go out to buy food for Banlan.
As long as we get some fast-acting poison along with the food, I don't believe we can't poison them to death.
Without further ado, Fox Ears got dressed, washed up, and headed outside.
As soon as he opened the bedroom door, he was greeted by an alluring fragrance that made his stomach rumble. Fox Ears was even angrier. These robbers! They were eating and drinking well in his house, while he, the master, was starving.
"We're out of supplies at home, I... I'll go to the supermarket." Fox Ears was a little guilty, but he tried his best to remain calm and said it as usual.
Ruan Mingchu stared at him for three seconds, then nodded: "Go."
Fox Ears quickly ran out.
Every time he went out, he wanted to run away, but that bastard Ruan Mingchu did something to him, and no matter what he did, he couldn't get out of the neighborhood.
Hopefully, this time we can really kill them with the drug.
After breakfast, Ruan Mingchu took the plate containing the statue to the study, while Mu Yu tidied the table and then went to play games.
The military's newly developed combat game is still in testing. Zhao, the adjutant, gave it to Mu Yu, asking him to play it when he's bored and help test it out.
In the study, a plate of food was placed on the table.
Ruan Mingchu sat in the chair, rocked it back and forth a couple of times, and took a deep breath of the meaty aroma emanating from the statue.
Mu Xiaoyu's cooking skills are getting better and better.
While reminiscing, Ruan Mingchu picked up the statue with his chopsticks.
Perhaps it was overcooked and softened, because the statue is full of pits and bumps, some from Mu Yu using a spoon and others from him poking it with chopsticks.
Now, when Ruan Minh Thu picks up his head with chopsticks, the sides of his head dent inwards, making him look particularly comical.
Ruan Mingchu burst out laughing.
Choi Kwang-hyuk could naturally sense the state of the medium statue, which directly affected his divided spirit. If his divided spirit's strength was one before, it would be quite good if it reached 0.7 now.
The statue, utterly defenseless, couldn't resist the pressure cooker's warmth.
Ruan Mingchu said, "Tell me, who are you, where are you from, and what do you do?"
"Pah!" Although Cui Guanghe couldn't actually spit, he could mimic the sound. He fiercely expressed his disdain and resentment towards Ruan Mingchu, "I will never forgive you. I will definitely cut you into a thousand pieces and make sure you never get reincarnated."
Ruan Mingchu chuckled softly, "Looks like you still haven't figured out your place."
After saying that, Ruan Mingchu poked a hole in the statue's hand with his chopsticks.
Choi Kwang-hyuk let out a painful roar.
Ruan Mingchu clicked his tongue twice, "So noisy."
"Will you tell or not?"
Cui Guanghe: "Bah! A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. You insignificant ant, I will never submit to you."
“Sigh,” Ruan Mingchu sighed, “Just for that reason alone, I’m even more determined to get you to speak up.”
He opened all the drawers of the table and rummaged through them until he found what he wanted: a utility knife.
"Hmm, let's carve a big, open mouth first, maybe then the mouth will be willing to speak human language."
Choi Kwang-hyuk: "You dare!"
Ruan Mingchu didn't argue with him, but instead pushed the statue over again, pressed it down with chopsticks, and then used a craft knife to strike its face.
"Ah ...
Cui Guanghe has had a smooth life all his life and has never encountered such an impudent ant. He is in pain now, and when he takes revenge, he will make Ruan Mingchu feel even more pain!
After half a morning of fussing, the statue had changed from a robust male figure to a slender one, but Ruan Mingchu still couldn't hear anything from Cui Guanghe that went beyond cursing.
Moreover, the insults he uses are always the same few phrases, repeated over and over again. Even if he wasn't tired of them, Ruan Mingchu was already fed up with hearing them.
It seems that torture is not a suitable job for him, Ruan Mingchu thought to himself.
“Since you won’t tell me, there’s no point in keeping it,” Ruan Mingchu said as he carried the plate out. “I wonder if Banlan eats wood; it smells quite nice.”
Choi Kwang-hyuk's biggest advantage is that Nguyen Minh Cho wants to get something from him, and he won't destroy the media as long as there is a demand.
Now, Choi Kwang-hyuk panicked, but he still told himself to stay calm. He was just lying to him. Don't be afraid, or you'll lose.
Outside, Banlan was sitting in front of the TV, eating snacks and watching anime.
Ruan Mingchu placed the plate on the coffee table in front of him. "Want some?"
Banlan sniffed it, and thought, "It smells so good!"
"I want to eat the pandan!"
"Okay, eat up."
As the plate was lifted by Banlan and brought closer to her mouth, Choi Kwang-hyuk shouted, "No, no! What do you want to know?"
With a "snap," accompanied by Cui Guanghe's painful roar, Banlan bit off one of the statue's feet.
"Hmm...it's a bit sour, but it's quite delicious and has a nice chewy texture!"
Banlan swallowed what was in her mouth, and then bit down on the other foot with her second bite.
Cui Guanghe howled in pain and begged for mercy.
Nguyen Minh Thu removed the statue from under Banlan's mouth.
Banlan protested, "You made me eat it!"
Are you trying to make a fool of Banlangen by taking it away now?
Ruan Mingchu hummed in agreement. "I won't let you eat now."
Banlan Qi leaned back and said, "One day I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Ruan Mingchu replied dismissively, "Mhm, I'll be waiting for you."
Ruan Mingchu originally intended for Banlan to eat the statue. Once the statue was gone, the thing residing inside it would definitely return to its original body, and then he could track down the original body.
After all, he'd been threatening me with a knife for so long; he was probably more dangerous than Banlan with his half-toothed mangled teeth. However, it was all for naught. It didn't seem like he could extract anything from me, so I might as well save my energy.
It's really strange that all that torture and interrogation was less effective than a bite from Banlangen.
It's true that normal people just can't understand intellectual disabilities.
Choi Kwang-hyuk, the mentally challenged man: terrifying.jpg
Choi Kwang-hyeok was originally a human, but after consuming the embryo of the Demon Heart while severely injured, he became a half-human, half-star beast. The intelligent star beast that triggered the star beast tide was Choi Kwang-hyeok himself, but it was not his own thought, but rather the unconscious instigation of malice remaining in the medium.
While the Demon Heart did make him irritable and bloodthirsty for a period of time, it only brought him benefits after Choi Kwang-hyuk discovered a secret technique.
Originally, he was of average talent, but after consuming the Demon Heart, he suddenly became the most talented person in their area. After some effort, his strength also improved.
After gathering a group of followers who worshipped him, the rudimentary form of the Miracle Organization emerged. Most importantly, the secret method to eliminate the influence of the Demon Heart embryo required a human soul. Using another person's soul to bear various evil thoughts and pains was equivalent to planting a secondary personality within him to accommodate all the negative things.
However, this substance is consumed very quickly, so he needs a constant supply of other people's souls to use. Because of the needs of the secret technique, Choi Kwang-hyuk had to create an organization to serve him.
I don't know why, but after he ate the Demon Heart, it was as if he received a blessing of good fortune, and everything he did went smoothly.
The Miracle Organization gradually expanded, devoting all its resources to helping him increase his strength. As his strength grew, he led the organization to continue expanding. Gradually, both the Miracle Organization and he became stronger and stronger, spreading throughout the shadows of the entire empire.
The demon heart that Ruan Mingchu once discovered was cultivated by him. It became so strong after eating an embryo. If it ate a mature one, wouldn't it be unstoppable?
Although the specific effects cannot be determined, why not do something that only requires talking?
The various fusion experiments involving star beasts, humans, and animals were also at Cui Guanghe's request. If half-human, half-star beast was already this powerful, could it become even more so? Modifying all members was his way of exploring the mysteries of fusion; their fatal flaws were a little secret he kept for himself. He might use them, he might not, but this kind of thing was essential.
Later, as his power grew, Choi Kwang-hyuk was able to reach more and more places, and he no longer coveted the resources here. However, he couldn't afford to waste what he had worked so hard for, so he began to plunder without regard for sustainable development.
Once he had plundered to a certain extent, Choi Kwang-hyuk no longer needed the Miracle Organization. But not wanting to let others benefit from it, he naturally wanted to squeeze it dry.
That's where that fatal flaw comes in handy. If he wanted, he could easily extract their souls—the souls of those who had once served him—with just a flick of his finger during his harvest.
So even without Ruan Mingchu, the Miracle Organization would have been completely wiped out. If Cui Guanghe hadn't suddenly arrived in the Upper Realm and only been able to use a divided spirit upon his return, lacking sufficient power, and hadn't encountered the First Divine Envoy and other unmodified individuals, he would have already extracted all the souls and resources and returned.
However, he encountered Ruan Mingchu.
Not only will all members of the Miracle Organization receive their due punishment, but he, the one with the deepest sins, will not escape either.
It's impossible that Cui Guanghe told Ruan Mingchu these things willingly.
Ruan Mingchu discovered that once Cui Guanghe's mind was exposed by the dazzling stimulation, the peculiar energy could no longer completely block him. He seized the opportunity, distracting Cui Guanghe while launching a sudden attack, breaking through Cui Guanghe's defenses in one fell swoop and obtaining Cui Guanghe's memories.
It's unimaginable that someone could kill tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of people for their own sake. If he were allowed to live, even more people would surely suffer.
What kind of place is the Upper Realm? Ruan Mingchu was determined to go to the Upper Realm to bring the criminals to justice, but he knew nothing about the Upper Realm.
Perhaps Qingyao knows, as do Tu Aotian and Menhao; Ruan Mingchu plans to ask them when she has time.
When Nguyen Minh Cho withdrew from Choi Kwang-hyuk's memory, Choi Kwang-hyuk's distraction was severely damaged, and he lost consciousness.
Ruan Mingchu imprisoned this fragmented spirit within the statue, adding several more layers of spiritual restraint. This was a crucial clue for him to find Cui Guanghe in the upper realm, and it had to be carefully preserved.
Without Cui Guanghe's influence, the Star Beast Tide wouldn't cause much of a stir. More than half of the Miracle Organization's high-ranking members had been captured, including the founder, Cui Guanghe. He also knew the fatal flaws of all the members, so the Miracle Organization was no longer a problem.
The root of the problem has been solved, but that doesn't mean everything is solved; in fact, bigger problems are yet to come.
With only one main star remaining out of the seventy-seven star systems, and all the other planets destroyed, what should be done with this lone star? Should we simply shrink the territory and designate the seventy-seven star systems as the border? That's impossible, but the specific arrangements still need to be discussed.
After the Miracle Organization rebelled in those star systems, those who had ties with the Miracle Organization needed to be dealt with, but many of them held important positions, and the aftermath after dealing with them was another big problem.
The Miracle Organization's footprint is all over the empire, and it cooperates with various space pirates, bullies, and nobles. They need to be eliminated one by one, and the resettlement of people harmed by the Miracle Organization is also a major problem.
The pirate crew he had previously established had expanded to a certain extent and then stagnated, so he needed to make a decision.
Most importantly, Ruan Mingchu wanted to resolve the problems he had discovered during this period: first, the galactic divide, and second, gender stereotypes.
Neither can be achieved overnight; Nguyen Minh Thu has prepared for a long-term battle.
Oh, and also, his father, the emperor, needs to come back to oversee things. Qingyao's behavior of abducting the emperor at the slightest disagreement is utterly disastrous for the country and its people, and should be stopped.
As Ruan Mingchu sat aboard the returning starship, he listed everything in his notebook and came up with the basic arrangements.
Occasionally, when I looked up, I would see Mu Yu wearing a helmet.
He felt that Mu Xiaoyu had become very addicted to this stupid game lately and hadn't paid much attention to him anymore.
Ruan Mingchu put the pen on the table, got up and walked to Mu Yu.
While in the game, Mu Yu received a notification that someone was looking for him in real life. He exited the game, looked up at Ruan Mingchu, and his eyes were full of confusion.
"What's wrong?"
