Eldritch Horror Theatre - Ch. 73: Omen Must Die (19)
"First, I need you to take her to the Night Watcher Base."
Sensing Su Gao's trust in him, Fu Qian didn't dawdle and pointed at the unconscious woman.
"Next, we'll split up and gather all the Beyonders outside of the Huang Family to that location at the fastest speed possible."
Fu Qian didn't emphasize whether they agreed or not; he trusted Su Gao's style.
"And then... Omen will automatically come looking for us."
"Understood."
Su Gao listened intently and didn't ask further questions. She directly wrapped the woman in the bedsheet and hoisted her up.
*How important it is to have a reliable partner!*
Watching Su Gao quickly disappear into the distance with the person, Fu Qian looked gratified.
Pulling the rug out begins now.
Theoretically speaking, Omen's Destined Death was impeccable.
No matter what strategy he adopted, Omen could rely on it to dodge every possibility that would lead to his own death, while simultaneously reaping the lives of other Beyonders to complete the sacrifice.
It was like trying to reach a certain destination with countless nodes and forks in between, yet the protection Omen received always allowed him to choose the perfect route.
Where to go, who to kill, where to go next...
He didn't even need to use his brain; acting purely on intuition was enough.
Truly untraceable and unconstrained.
Just like he said before, this thing was on the magnitude of P(100, 10).
So the question is, what if all these branching paths were blocked, leaving only one main road in the middle?
Gather all his available sacrifice targets in one place, leaving only a single node.
The problem seemed much simpler then!
Over at the Huang Family, after his murder declaration, Huang Yuanchang couldn't go back. Fu Qian didn't believe that as a Tier 7, he had the capability to force his way into the Huang Family manor on high alert.
If he gathered the remaining Beyonders at the Night Watcher Base, Omen would completely run out of choices.
Next, he just had to wait for him to come knocking.
Unless he could endure his inner desire to kill. Unfortunately, judging from their last encounter, he was already in a semi-crazed state; he probably didn't have that patience.
Of course, an even more violent method would be to just wipe out all the Beyonders in Xiyuan City. That would undoubtedly be more effective.
However, for an initial attempt, on one hand, there was no need to go to such extremes just yet.
On the other hand, if he chose to murder them, Su Gao might not try to kill him, but getting her help would probably be very difficult.
The scene of her completely destroying his mentality last time was still vivid in his mind.
Naturally, if facts proved that this still wasn't enough, fully activating Asura Mode would be one of the next options.
...
Boom!
"Omen, I've been waiting for you a long—"
Arriving at Tier 8 Bro's mansion again, amidst the violent tremors, the reckless roar was cut off halfway by Fu Qian.
Charging power, turning around, and stomping down.
Facing the incoming shockwave, Fu Qian didn't dodge this time; instead, he chose to clash head-on.
Rubble flew everywhere as the two forces met, and the impact beneath their feet came to an abrupt halt.
At the same time, Fu Qian's figure didn't stop; he had already charged right in front of Tier 8 Bro.
The other party hadn't even had time to lift his heavy hammer from the ground, astonishment freezing on his dark face.
*Sss!*
Fu Qian's right forearm rapidly swelled a few inches. He grabbed the giant's neck once more, hoisted him up, and smashed him directly against the wall.
Thud!
The latter's head snapped back, and a crisp knocking sound rang out. Tier 8 Bro's eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he instantly passed out.
The wall behind him was actually made entirely of metal.
...
"Wrap it up."
When Fu Qian arrived at the Night Watcher Base carrying this last person, the whole place was dead silent.
In a corner of the hall, Su Gao stood with her sword, not saying a word, looking coldly at everyone.
Beside her were three Night Watchers who didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
And in the middle of the room, an assorted group of men and women all wore terrified expressions, unable to comprehend what was happening.
The vast majority of them had some injuries on their bodies. Obviously, Su Gao was also someone who preferred communicating with body language.
Just now, they had wanted to ask what was going on, but they were all scared off by Su Gao's gaze, making them even more apprehensive.
At this moment, seeing Fu Qian walk in, the naked sleeper wrapped in the bedsheet immediately screamed.
*At least they're considered superhumans in a broad sense, yet they have zero transcendent demeanor.*
Fu Qian shot them a look of disdain and tossed Tier 8 Bro onto the floor. The latter rolled and protected his head, nearly knocking himself out again.
This guy's constitution was quite good; he had already woken up on the way and had been playing possum, but he finally couldn't keep up the act anymore.
"Everyone!"
Fu Qian counted the numbers. Aside from the three unlucky bastards who were already decapitated by the time he arrived, all the rogue cultivators of Xiyuan were here.
He was very satisfied with this result.
At least half of these experts had already witnessed this guy's brutality. Hearing him speak, they all basically shivered.
"Everyone should recognize what this place is, so I trust no one has any unnecessary worries. After all, coming here is just like coming home."
"What you all need to do is very simple. From now on, everyone must stay here. You are not allowed to take a single step out of this room until I notify you."
Fu Qian finished in one breath and turned to look around.
"Any questions?"
After Fu Qian spoke, a burly arm tremblingly raised up. Tier 8 Bro's voice was a bit shaky.
"Staying here, not eating is fine, but what if we need to use the bathroom?"
Fu Qian looked at him coldly.
"Regurgitate."
...
"Mr. Fu."
Seeing that all the Beyonders had helplessly accepted their fate, Su Gao looked at the latter and asked in a low voice.
"Are you certain Omen will come?"
"Don't worry, he will definitely come!"
Fu Qian recalled Huang Yuanchang's crazed smile. In his current state, this guy absolutely could not stop.
The only thing he was curious about was what kind of state this guy would make his entrance in.
He even had a hint of anticipation for it.
Of course, not for Huang Yuanchang. He had zero interest in this brother who basically only followed his instincts.
He was looking forward to the one behind Huang Yuanchang.
What kind of response would such a high-level entity beyond comprehension make to the current situation?
...
Fu Qian quickly got his answer.
Barely an hour later, the main doors of the Nightwatcher Base were pushed open from the outside.
Under everyone's watchful gaze, Huang Yuanchang simply walked right in.
At this moment, completely shedding his past wretched image, his entire body was enshrouded in mysterious quicksilver symbols, exuding an indescribable majesty.
*This... is quite interesting.*
Fu Qian watched the strange phenomenon on Huang Yuanchang's body with great interest.
Aside from the different color, it looked quite similar to the thing that appeared after this guy's head exploded last time.
That thing had directly caused the Calamity to descend and his mission to fail. Would this have any special effects?
Facing a room full of Beyonders, Huang Yuanchang showed no fear, walking straight up to the crowd without stopping.
"Today, all of you must die!"
