The police officers guarding the little boy shook their heads speechlessly. One of them muttered, "Young Master Knir is really fast... He's only managed to catch this many people so far. I guess... he'll have them all dead by tomorrow night!"
Another person sighed upon hearing this, saying, "It would be better if they were all dead. I'm afraid they'd all be left half-dead. Their lives would be miserable then... What a tragedy..."
Amidst sighs, the police officers reluctantly cooperated, selecting four people from the crowd and escorting them out one by one.
However, the person who finally caught him clung tightly to another child beside him, refusing to let go no matter what. The child cried and wailed with great intensity, as if he had already sensed that his fate after being taken away would be extremely tragic.
"Let go quickly... Uncle will take you to eat candy..." The policeman coaxed and persuaded the little boy, but the boy refused to let go no matter what.
"There really is candy... So please let me go!" While the other children were shrinking back in fear and resisting desperately, a little boy jumped out and volunteered.
The other group of boys looked at the newcomer as if he were an idiot, silently mourning for the naive fellow.
Although they were very young and simple-minded, they were not stupid at all. Just by looking at the pitying or fierce looks in the eyes of the police officers as they were being taken away, they knew that nothing good would come of it for them after they were arrested.
Enraged by the little boy who refused to let go even at the cost of his life, the policeman was contemplating using violence when he noticed a seemingly clueless boy among the five newcomers eager to be tortured. Delighted, the policeman released the boy and praised him for his courage, saying, "That's more like it... This kid is smart; he knows that only obedient children are liked. If you were all as well-behaved as him, would I have the heart to hit you?"
The policewoman spoke as if she were an old lady tempting Little Red Riding Hood, smiling and beckoning to the little boy who had stepped forward. And sure enough, the little boy followed the three boys in front of him without hesitation and walked out...
The group of four, led by two burly men in suits who looked like thugs, headed toward the luxurious courtyard that Zhou Ziwei had scanned earlier.
As the distance gradually closed, Zhou Ziwei's soul power was able to penetrate into the courtyard, and he then discovered that Kniel, that pretty boy, was indeed lying on his side on a sofa bed with a gloomy expression, gently wiping the still dripping blood from his fingers with a snow-white towel.
Zhou Ziwei's gaze narrowed, and the chilling killing intent in his heart grew even more intense...
Volume 3, King of the City, Chapter 592: Conservation of Energy
Zhou Ziwei was filled with rage when he thought of how cruelly those children had been tortured by Kniel here. Kniel truly had no humanity whatsoever. He had suffered some pain, and now he wanted to transfer that pain tenfold or a hundredfold onto others. If Kniel only wanted revenge on Zhou Ziwei and wanted to return all the pain to him, then Zhou Ziwei could understand him. But in that case, Zhou Ziwei would probably just ignore him and go about his own business.
But when Zhou Ziwei saw the police openly arresting five- or six-year-old Chinese boys on the street, he knew he would never let this heartless foreign devil live again.
Upon entering the courtyard, one is greeted by a spacious living room, where Kniel lies on an extremely soft sofa bed. Both his manhood and anus have been thoroughly ravaged; even the slightest touch causes excruciating pain. Therefore, he must lie on his side on this comfortable bed to temporarily forget the physical pain.
When he saw four more little boys being brought in, Kniel's eyes lit up immediately, a bloodthirsty glint in them, like a wolf that hadn't eaten for half a month suddenly seeing a few plump little white rabbits running towards it, almost drooling.
"Come here, come here... bring all of them to me." Kniel excitedly waved his hand, ordering four children to be brought to his bedside. Then, his face suddenly turned incredibly ferocious, and he said viciously, "You brat, you've finally met your match! Weren't you so arrogant on the plane? How come you've fallen into my hands now? Ah... hahahaha..."
Zhou Ziwei was standing right in front of the four children, so Kniel's words were spoken almost directly to him. Zhou Ziwei was startled by the shout and wondered if his disguise was so easily seen through by Kniel. However, when he saw Kniel's fierce gaze sweep over each child, he suddenly realized that Kniel was just venting his emotions. He didn't care whether the children in front of him were his enemies or not; he just treated them as enemies and vented his anger on them.
The other three children were terrified by Knir's fierce appearance, and they all started to cry. Upon seeing this, Knir immediately roared, "Stop crying! If anyone dares to cry again, I'll tear their mouth apart!"
Startled by Kniel's words, the two children immediately stopped crying. Although their faces turned pale with fright and tears still streamed down their faces uncontrollably, at least they dared not make a sound anymore.
However, there was one little boy who was probably terrified. He just closed his eyes and cried loudly, completely ignoring Kniel's threat. Or perhaps he was still young and hadn't been in the US for long. Zhou Ziwei only heard him crying and calling out "Mommy, Mommy..." in Chinese. It seemed that he might not understand English at all.
“Crying…you actually dare to cry, you brat! Weren’t you so arrogant? How come you’re wailing like a child now…” Kniel glared fiercely at the sobbing little boy, a cold, sinister smile creeping across his lips. Then, he reached out and said to the thugs serving him, “Scissors…bring me the scissors! This brat dares to disobey his young master! I’ll cut his mouth shut right now, let’s see what he has left to cry with.”
"Yes... young master." A middle-aged man in a suit immediately and respectfully brought over a long tray. On the tray were a pair of scissors, an iron ruler, a small axe, and a long iron rod...
Zhou Ziwei was stunned by the guy's thorough preparations. Then he looked at the thing next to him, which should have been a bookshelf, and there were now seven or eight trays filled with all sorts of odds and ends. There was nothing these beasts hadn't prepared, only things you couldn't imagine.
Damn, he even prepared a set of things like women's vibrators and dildos, which shows that this guy not only wanted to physically torture these little boys, but also planned to use those special tools to molest them.
It's likely that Kniel himself had his anus violated, and he was extremely resentful about it. He wanted to inflict this humiliation and pain on others, and inflicting this pain on these young children would obviously amplify Kniel's perverse pleasure.
Zhou Ziwei's eyes twitched slightly. He slowly turned his head and saw that Kniel had already reached out and grabbed the scissors from the tray. Then, with a sinister grin, he reached for the little boy who was still crying inconsolably.
Zhou Ziwei had no doubt that if no one could stop him, this beast would have cut the little boy's mouth open with a pair of scissors without the slightest hesitation.
"Wait a minute..." Zhou Ziwei shouted, and with a flick of his arm, he shook off the large hands of the thugs that were tightly gripping him from behind. Then, he reached forward, grabbed the little boy's shoulder, and pulled him back, finally preventing the little boy's mouth from being slit open by the sharp scissors.
"Huh... this kid's pretty strong!" The thug's face turned bright red as Zhou Ziwei shook off his hands. He snorted and reached out to grab him again.
"Sigh...you go down first." Nakenier suddenly waved his hand, shooing away the thug who was about to pounce on him, then looked Zhou Ziwei up and down, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
After some treatment, Zhou Ziwei's appearance was indeed changed a lot, and even people who knew him well might not recognize him.
However, Kniel still sensed something from Zhou Ziwei's eyes. Although this didn't make Kniel truly recognize Zhou Ziwei, it suddenly made him very excited.
After all, those little boys he had just grabbed looked so different from his enemies, like heaven and earth. Although he was just as crazy when he tortured those children, he really couldn't get any satisfaction from the revenge.
Then, seeing Zhou Ziwei, he suddenly felt that the thin little boy in front of him seemed to look very similar to his enemy.
Although the two looked very different, their eyes and calm demeanor were very similar, so... even though he didn't actually recognize Zhou Ziwei as Zhou Ziwei, Kniel simply ignored the difference between them in his mind.
"You little brat, I never thought... I never thought you'd end up in my hands. Now that you're in my hands, let's see what you have to be proud of. I'll show you how I'll make you wish you were dead, hahaha... Come on... bring me that vibrator and that dildo. Today I'm going to give this little rascal a good time."
Seeing Kniel sizing him up a few times before saying those words, Zhou Ziwei thought the kid had really recognized him this time. But when he heard Kniel actually wanted to use that vibrator and dildo on him, he was slightly taken aback. Then, he laughed angrily and said, "Kniel, are you stupid? You actually want to get serious with me? With your... do you think you can do it?"
As Zhou Ziwei spoke, he felt that since people had already recognized him, there was no point in hiding anymore. So he reached out and gently wiped his face, causing the facial muscles that had been deformed under his forceful control to twitch. In a moment, they completely returned to their original appearance.
The thugs next to him had no idea what was going on. Upon hearing their young master's order, they immediately brought over the tray containing the vibrating egg and massage stick and handed it to Kniel.
Just as Kniel grabbed the vibrator, intending to have someone pull down Zhou Ziwei's pants so he could personally insert it into Zhou Ziwei's pants, he suddenly heard Zhou Ziwei's words. When he looked up, he saw the muscles on Zhou Ziwei's face twitch, instantly transforming into the image that had haunted his nightmares. He immediately let out a deafening scream.
"No... How could this be... How could it really be you... How could this be... Someone help... Help me... He's that person... He's that person..."
While calling out, Kniel ignored his injuries and immediately rolled over to the other end of the sofa bed.
He didn't believe that Zhou Ziwei had really been arrested by those useless cops. Although his hatred for Zhou Ziwei was deeply ingrained, his fear of him was equally profound. So now, as soon as he saw the real Zhou Ziwei standing in front of him, he was immediately terrified. Even though there were at least a dozen thugs guarding him in the living room, Kniel still didn't feel safe at all.
The moment Kniel saw Zhou Ziwei, all he could think about was escaping orders and running as far away as possible. He hoped he would never have to face this terrifying little jinx again in this lifetime. As for seeking revenge and fighting to the death with this terrifying guy... well, that could wait until his next life!
"What...it's him...it's this kid who caused the young master to be like this."
Upon hearing Knir's call, the dozen or so thugs inside and outside the living room all lit up with excitement. Mr. Lofit had made a great effort to avenge his precious son, even forcing the mayor of Los Angeles to back down. The search for the child had thrown the entire city of Los Angeles into chaos.
They initially thought that searching aimlessly like this would never lead them to the real culprit, but unexpectedly, some powerful figure stumbled upon and captured young master Kniel's mortal enemy, bringing him here.
This delighted them. Seeing their young master so frightened, they didn't feel that Zhou Ziwei was anything to be afraid of. At most, he was just a little stronger than an ordinary child.
However, this child is not even as tall as a stool. No matter how strong he is, how much strength can he possibly have? These people are all real thugs who make a living by fighting. They dare to challenge even professional soldiers and mercenaries. They certainly wouldn't be afraid of a five or six-year-old child!
"Kid, you dare to offend our young master, you're dead..." The thug who delivered the massage stick and vibrator to Kniel was closest to Zhou Ziwei. Seeing Kniel run away in fright, he immediately perked up and reached out to slap Zhou Ziwei on the forehead, intending to knock him unconscious first.
He knew that Kniel hated this kid to the core, and if given the chance, he would definitely use all his skills to torture Zhou Ziwei to the point of wishing for death. So what he needed to do was knock Zhou Ziwei unconscious and completely restrict his hands and feet so that he would be unable to fight back. That's why he let Kniel personally take action and torture Zhou Ziwei however he wanted. That would surely make young master Kniel very happy.
If Kniel were happy, he might just reward him with a small company and let him be his own boss. If that happened... he would be completely rich.
However, the thug's excitement didn't last even a second before he suddenly felt his heavy slap hit an invisible wall of air halfway through. A piercing pain started at his fingertips, then spread to his wrist, forearm, and elbow, like climbing a hill, directly to his shoulder, chest, and abdomen. Then he felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood immediately gushed out, spraying directly onto Knir, who was scrambling to fall off the sofa bed in a panic.
Kniel was drenched in a mouthful of blood, which terrified him so much that he screamed even more frantically. The thug who had coughed up blood collapsed on the spot without any surprise.
Zhou Ziwei was furious at these thugs for aiding and abetting evil. They knew that Kenil was harming those young boys, yet they still stood by and helped him. For that alone, every single one of these thugs deserved to die, and they absolutely had to die...
So when the thug made his move, Zhou Ziwei immediately activated a vortex of wind energy that he had already condensed. This time, when he released the vortex, he focused more on the continuous destructive power of the wind energy. He simply let this not-so-powerful wind energy carry the air and form a twisted gust of wind in the air. Then he let this gust of wind swirle around the thug's arm and recklessly strangle him.
Zhou Ziwei focused intently on sensing the power released by the swirling wind, and his heart stirred. After the wisp of wind energy was separated at the thug's shoulder and arm, Zhou Ziwei simply withdrew the wisp of wind energy, but let the swirling force entangled in the wind continue to drill into the thug's muscle texture and deep blood vessels. Then, the thug's muscles and blood vessels inexplicably twisted wildly, directly breaking three or four of his ribs. In an instant, his internal organs were torn to shreds, almost turning into a pot of porridge.
There's definitely something to it.
Zhou Ziwei casually killed a henchman, so he naturally wouldn't take such a small fry seriously. He was just overjoyed that he had gained a deeper understanding of wind energy at this moment.
Energy is conserved; it simply transforms from one form of energy into another, but it never truly disappears completely.
Although wind energy can only act on the air, with sufficient support, Zhou Ziwei also realized that he could completely transform that wisp of wind energy into other forms of energy when necessary, and then continue to transmit the energy by taking advantage of the inertia of energy flow. In this way, he would no longer be limited by different forms of energy.
For example, a water arrow shot from water using water energy. Because this water arrow is entirely condensed from water energy, it can only truly become one with water. Using a water arrow to injure people in water not only has a strong concealment characteristic, but also allows it to replenish its water energy from all around at any time.
Once the water arrow leaves the water, it will immediately lose its power, much like a fish out of water. The water energy will be greatly reduced in the air, and even if it has 100% of its power, it will probably not be able to exert even 10% of its power under these circumstances.
However, once Zhou Ziwei mastered and could successfully utilize the knack of freely converting energy, everything became much simpler. He could make a water arrow pass through the water and then merge into the wind as soon as it emerged from the water, transforming into a wind cone. If the wind cone pierced into the earth, it would immediately condense into hard soil and stone, transforming into a stone spike.
Although Zhou Ziwei could previously transform the attribute-less energy within his body into earth energy, water energy, wind energy, or fire energy at will, this energy transformation could only be completed within his body, and it had to be either attribute-less energy transformed into natural energy, or natural energy transformed into attribute-less energy.
Although they are both natural energies, they cannot be converted into each other at all. But this time... he did it... He used the rotation of wind energy to drive the synchronous rotation and twisting of the water energy in the thug's body, which made it easy to crush all the man's internal organs in one fell swoop.
Volume 3, King of the City, Chapter 593: Energy Sword
Many brilliant ideas in this world often come from a sudden flash of inspiration. Zhou Ziwei had a flash of inspiration just before he was about to make his move, which is why he suddenly came up with such a strange idea and tried it out. The result was far beyond his expectations.
Although 70% of the human body is composed of liquid, these liquids are evenly distributed throughout the various organs and cells of the body. Therefore, although Zhou Ziwei just performed an energy conversion inside the thug's body, the power of the wind energy converted into water energy was greatly reduced due to the scarcity of water energy in the human body.
Suddenly, the seven thugs inside the room were stunned to see that one of their companions had been crippled by a child in just one move. Then, as if they had gone mad, they roared fiercely and charged towards Zhou Ziwei from all directions.
Three of them even casually pulled out a sharp weapon of varying sizes from the thing that resembled a torture instrument display stand before attacking Zhou Ziwei.
Zhou Ziwei frowned slightly, pondering the method of energy conversion. When he saw several reckless guys rushing up, he had an idea. He flicked his hand and "hissing" seven high-speed spinning wind cones shot out.
Wind energy is not known for its sharpness, but it is incredibly fast. Under such a high-speed rotating wind cone, those seven thugs, who were only slightly stronger than ordinary people, would definitely not have any chance to fight back and would be killed by Zhou Ziwei immediately.
However, at this time, Zhou Ziwei had just grasped the secret of energy transformation. Just like a child who had just received a new favorite toy, he naturally wouldn't let go of it easily. When someone came to him as a test subject to experiment on the power of this energy transformation, Zhou Ziwei naturally accepted the offer without hesitation.
Therefore, although the wind cones that Zhou Ziwei shot out this time were extremely impressive, the direction they were aimed at was the ground beneath his feet.
"Puff puff puff..." A series of sounds came incessantly, and three or four shallow dents suddenly appeared on the ground. Then the seven wind cones disappeared.
In reality, given the sheer force of the Wind Cone Technique, leaving a half-foot-deep mark on the ground shouldn't be a big deal, especially considering the thick marble slab covering the ground.
However, when Zhou Ziwei pierced the ground with seven wind cones, only three or four marks were left, and the deepest mark was less than half an inch deep.
It turned out that as soon as the seven wind cones touched the ground, Zhou Ziwei immediately began to transform their energy attributes, causing the wind energy to instantly transform into earth energy.
However, this was Zhou Ziwei's first time attempting this, and he was switching between seven wind cones simultaneously. If Zhou Ziwei hadn't possessed a massive amount of soul power, making multitasking a piece of cake for him, then anyone else attempting this on their first try would probably not have been able to successfully switch even a single energy.
Zhou Ziwei did succeed, but a few of the wind cones didn't complete the transition completely at the moment of conversion, which wasted some wind energy and left a half-inch deep mark on the ground.
The seven thugs were slightly taken aback when they saw this bizarre scene. In that moment of surprise, they felt a piercing pain in their feet. Then they saw seven sharp, heavy stalagmites suddenly grow out of the flat marble floor and pierce through the soles of the seven thugs' feet without missing a beat.
Seven shrill screams suddenly rang out, and the stalagmite that had been gushing out of the ground was like seven sharp arrows, growing a meter and a half or six inches before stopping. This height was enough for the stalagmite to emerge from the ground and pierce the stomachs of the seven people to pieces.
The seven thugs were still performing their own actions when, at the same moment, they were all suddenly pinned to the ground from below by a stalagmite. The horrifying scene left everyone who witnessed it terrified and shaken.
With a "thump," young master Kniel finally managed to tumble off the other end of the sofa bed, landing heavily on the floor. His once-ravaged anus was instantly pierced to the bone again, causing Kniel to let out a pitiful howl of pain. This sound was almost simultaneous with the cries of the seven thugs before they died, so much so that this guy didn't even notice anything unusual about them.
Kniel struggled to lift his head and saw a thug next to him who seemed to be coming over to help him up, but it was just a formality. The hand stopped halfway out, and he bent over slightly and remained still in place, just like a wax figure treasured in a wax museum.
Kniel flew into a rage and raised his hand to slap the thug in the face hard.
With a loud "smack," the slap reverberated throughout the hall.
After taking the slap, the thug only swayed his head slightly in the direction of the force of the slap before stopping. As for his posture, it remained unchanged from beginning to end, still slightly squatting, seemingly about to help Kniel up, but he made no further move.
Kniel was quite surprised. Although he wasn't very bright, he could tell that something was wrong. He reached out and gently pushed the thug, saying, "Hey... are you stupid? Say something to me!"
Kniel wasn't very strong, but even a forceful push would make someone stagger. However, this time, it felt as if the thug had one foot nailed to the ground. No matter how hard he shook him, the man's body remained in the same position, and he didn't retreat even a step.
"Ah... how can there be so much blood?" Kniel suddenly saw that as the man shook his hand forcefully, although his body did not move, it was as if a burst water pipe had opened up, and a large pool of blood was gushing out from under his feet. In just a moment, the pool of blood had completely submerged Kniel's body.
Kniel's buttocks seemed to have springs inside them. After letting out a cry of surprise, he didn't care about the pain in his anus anymore and immediately grabbed the thug's arm and scrambled to his feet.
