Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 362: Chapter 151: The Jumping Clown (Part 2)_1

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

A crisp knocking sound rang out. Feng Guansheng immediately straightened his collar and walked directly to the door.

This Feng Guansheng... he hasn’t taken any defensive measures in his own office!

His plan is to hedge his bets.

If Peng Jun’s plan succeeds, the outcome will naturally be obvious.

But if Peng Jun’s plan fails, then, by not setting up any defenses, he can feign inaction. Later, with a few cunning tricks, he can shift the blame for the human clone army onto someone else!

Feigning innocence, yes, that’s what Feng Guansheng is thinking—feign innocence!

The Academy of Sciences’ human clone army isn’t solely controlled by Feng Guansheng! Several people have the authority to activate it!

Among them is that brash young kid Wei Tian... he can take the blame! After all, this fellow’s capabilities are impressive, threatening my position as Dean of the Academy of Sciences!

With these thoughts in mind, Feng Guansheng ambled to the office door and flung it open.

Then, a distinctive-looking pistol was pressed against Feng Guansheng’s head.

”What... what are you doing?”

Looking at Wei Tian before him, and behind Wei Tian, a strong black man and a little loli, Feng Guansheng’s mind filled with questions and terror.

Unfortunately, in the next second, it was all over.

BANG!

The sound wasn’t loud, but the effect was devastating.

The modified pistol fired a single shot that blew Feng Guansheng’s head apart.

Then, a smile on his face, Wei Tian spoke to Feng Guansheng’s corpse.

”The military’s Xuanwu War God sends his regards. Have a pleasant trip to hell, fool!”

”Mission accomplished. I just didn’t expect this guy to be completely defenseless. Looks like he was planning to shift the blame onto me. So the two people you assigned me were a waste of effort.”

Hearing Wei Tian’s words, Lin Haifeng sounded slightly frustrated.

”It doesn’t matter. I also didn’t expect Feng Guansheng to be this foolish.”

”In that case, should I send the two people with me back?”

Lin Haifeng thought for a moment, then shook his head.

”No need. Let those two be responsible for your safety. After all, you’re currently the only one in the military who can activate the Black Tortoise.”

”Understood.”

After speaking, Lin Haifeng hung up the communicator. He looked at the increasingly chaotic scene outside the window, shook his head gently, then turned away from the window and sat directly in his office chair. His hands began to move with blurring speed!

After a moment, a pot of steaming, fragrant tea was ready. Then, he bent down, retrieved four additional cups from a desk drawer, and filled them.

”The Dao of Tea is the path to appreciating its aesthetic beauty.”

”The focus isn’t merely on the taste in one’s mouth, but on the process of brewing the tea. If you brew tea with true dedication, you will feel it as a baptism and sublimation of the spirit.”

”I personally love to brew tea and to drink it, because I enjoy the process more than the outcome.”

”For in my eyes, the outcome is, in fact, already set.”

”Please, have some tea.”

After Lin Haifeng finished speaking, he placed two teacups on the table opposite him.

However, the person opposite him did not accept Lin Haifeng’s gesture.

”Then, I’d like to ask Commander Lin a question: will you die?”

Lin Haifeng took a light sip of tea and nodded decisively.

”I will. Everyone dies, and I am no exception. However, I will not die today.”

”Oh?”

Yang Pengguang arched an eyebrow slightly.

”I don’t believe it.”

”It’s not important whether you believe it. What matters is, do *you* believe it, Fang Bai?”

Beside Yang Pengguang, Fang Bai calmly regarded Lin Haifeng, who was seated in the host’s position. He then picked up his teacup and drained the tea within.

”I believe!”

After he finished speaking, the massive battle halberd in his hand swung with all his might towards Yang Pengguang’s head!

”Because I’m here!”

A colossal Demon God Phantom erupted from Fang Bai, instantly merging with him. This fusion caused Fang Bai’s aura to surge wildly, growing stronger at an insane rate.

Faced with his companion’s sudden assault, Yang Pengguang clearly couldn’t react in time, staring at Fang Bai in astonishment.

Barely managing to parry Fang Bai’s heavy blow, Yang Pengguang decisively retreated to the edge of the office, asking in disbelief.

”What are you doing? What in the world are you doing?”

”Killing, of course. Isn’t that why you brought me here?”

Fang Bai regarded Yang Pengguang with a calm expression, then slowly repositioned himself, placing his body between Yang Pengguang and Lin Haifeng.

”But I decide who dies!”

”That boy, Fang Bai,” Lin Haifeng said, watching the fight, ”I watched him grow up. He’s suffered a great deal recently.”

Lin Haifeng quietly sipped his tea as he watched the contest between Fang Bai and Yang Pengguang, completely unconcerned about the outcome of their battle.

Meanwhile, the entire office was enveloped by a massive barrier. The barrier’s sole purpose was to reinforce all objects within its range.

This was why, even now, the office building itself had not been destroyed by the shockwaves from Fang Bai and Yang Pengguang’s fight.

”By the way, have some tea.”

Lin Haifeng pushed another teacup towards the person beside him.

The person beside him gently took the cup and gulped down the tea unceremoniously.

”Good tea. And good scheming. It seems now that even if we hadn’t come, these clowns wouldn’t have been able to threaten Commander Lin’s safety.”

Lin Haifeng glanced at Qin Min, Sequence Number 7, who stood beside him clad in a golden robe, and gently shook his head.

”An extra layer of assurance is always good. Who knows what other plans that old fiend Peng Jun has!”

”But no matter his plans, none can escape your grasp.”

Hearing this somewhat fawning remark, Lin Haifeng actually smiled and nodded.

”Within the bounds of the Yanjing Assembly Site, I am omniscient and omnipotent!”

From the very beginning, this was a trap set for the Demon Worship Sect and Peng Jun.

Lin Haifeng had indeed killed Fang Bai’s father, but it wasn’t as it seemed; Fang Bai had not turned against the military.

In fact, when Lin Haifeng brought down Fang Bai’s father, Fang Bai himself had contributed significantly!

Using Fang Bai as bait to lure out the big fish—the Demon Worship Sect, or rather, anyone with designs on the Yanjing Assembly Site—this had been planned from the outset.

The Demon Worship Sect, one could say, had simply blundered into the snare.

Watching the battle between Fang Bai and Yang Pengguang ahead grow increasingly intense, Lin Haifeng spoke to Qin Min.

”Help Fang Bai.”

Then he hesitated for a moment.

”Try to capture him alive.”

”No problem.”

Qin Min smiled and nodded. Simultaneously, his aura skyrocketed, and his entire body transformed into a streak of golden light, instantly joining the fray.
