Chapter 133 – Night Raid on the Curator? That's My Boss!

The middle-aged man stared blankly at the Starstone in his palm, his mind buzzing as he struggled to process what had just happened.

Inside the restroom, the atmosphere remained calm, with only the occasional drip of running water breaking the silence.

The purple lightning that had been gathering momentum moments earlier suddenly vanished, as if nothing had occurred at all…

“It… it just went out like that?”

He froze for a moment, then looked at Qin Yang in disbelief before lowering his gaze to the Starstone again. Not a trace of Star Power fluctuation remained, and the Array Inscription had dimmed completely.

In other words.

During the few seconds Qin Yang had held it earlier, he had directly neutralized the Array Inscription on the Starstone. What he now held in his hand were merely two ordinary stones!

“How is this possible!?”

Shock and fury surged through the middle-aged man.

I just fucking lit the fuse!

Now without the Starstone to trigger the explosion…

How am I supposed to explain this failure to the cult when I return?!

At this thought, his rage boiled over instantly. Glaring furiously at Qin Yang, he noticed the librarian uniform and felt his entire body ignite with uncontrollable anger, completely losing his rationality.

“You’re asking for death!”

Boom!

Star Power erupted abruptly, causing air pressure to spread violently throughout the restroom.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and launched a fierce palm strike straight at Qin Yang’s face, aiming directly for his vital points.

“…”

Qin Yang watched the approaching palm as if observing a slow-motion replay, shaking his head slightly with a sigh:

“Aren’t you the one seeking death here?”

As his words fell.

Thump!

A dull sound of flesh collapsing echoed through the room!

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened in shock, his body still frozen in the attacking posture as he slowly looked down at his own chest.

His heart cavity had collapsed, revealing pale white rib bones. The heart protected within had shattered completely, ceasing to beat immediately.

Death had arrived almost instantaneously!

Without his heart functioning.

The middle-aged man lost all strength and collapsed to the floor, blood trickling from his mouth and nose as he emitted low, struggling breaths. He hadn’t even seen how Qin Yang had struck.

Too powerful!

Turning his head with great difficulty to look at Qin Yang, he managed a strained smile: “Killing me won’t help…”

“Huff… huff… you won’t get any information from me. I’ll never talk.”

“Tch, I never planned to waste time on you anyway.”

Qin Yang shook his head upon hearing this, slowly crouching down and placing his palm over the man’s forehead.

The next moment.

Bang!

Star Power surged from his palm, instantly extinguishing the man’s life force.

The man died with a look of utter astonishment, his eyes remaining wide open as he stared at Qin Yang even in death.

He never expected his opponent to act so decisively…

Without even attempting interrogation!

“People like you have iron-clad mouths. Rather than wasting time, soul searching is much faster.”

Qin Yang met the lifeless gaze of the corpse and directly activated the Soul-Eating Art.

Threads of spiritual energy extended, drilling into the man’s brain, devouring his mental defenses and easily penetrating the deepest layers of his memories.

Soon.

A flood of memories came rushing forth…

“Beast Tide… disrupt Jianghai City… suicide mission…”

After a moment.

Qin Yang sorted through the obtained information, finally understanding the full context of the situation.

According to the intelligence gathered through soul searching.

This middle-aged man was a death warrior!

His mission here was simple.

To put it bluntly, he had sneaked into the Jianghai Library during daytime opening hours to detonate unstable Starstones and create massive chaos.

“Is this meant to divert Jianghai City’s police forces…”After probing to this point, Qin Yang stopped the soul search. He lifted the beast fire with his fingertip and cremated the middle-aged man’s remains, then went to the washbasin to wash his hands. The sound of running water echoed…

“It seems Jianghai City won’t be peaceful during this period.”

Just moments ago during the soul search,

besides some miscellaneous information, he had discovered another important matter related to Jianghai City’s defense array.

One must understand,

Jianghai’s city walls have a long history.

The defense array deployed on them has always been fully managed by the Li Family, safeguarding the entire city’s security.

These demonkin, in order to prevent the activation of the array formation, had specifically hired several Innate Experts to launch a night assault on the Li Family and assassinate their patriarch, Li Daoming.

As the foremost array master in Jianghai, if Li Daoming were to die, the defense array would essentially lose its crucial array eye.

By then,

without the defense array protecting the city, the beast tide would easily scale the walls and march straight into Jianghai City’s interior, wantonly slaughtering innocent citizens.

“How many citizens would be able to fight back against those star beasts when the time comes?”

Thinking this,

Qin Yang shook the water droplets from his hands and slowly walked out of the washroom, having already decided to assist the Li Family.

After all,

Li Daoming was his direct superior.

The curator you’re planning to attack at night is my boss!

During his time at the library, he had observed him.

He was gentle and refined, treating subordinates and staff quite well without any airs of authority.

If anything were to happen to Li Daoming in the future… the library would undoubtedly undergo a major reshuffle with new leadership.

If it really came to that… his comfortable job would definitely be over!

Moreover,

if Jianghai City fell,

not only would citizens suffer, but he would also be affected, needing to find another place to settle down.

Quite troublesome!

“Regardless, both emotionally and rationally, I should lend them a hand.”

With this thought, Qin Yang left the washroom and headed directly toward Sector 2.

……

……

Sector 2.

The library’s visitors had all dispersed.

Beside the bookshelves,

Li Qinghe was bored counting the departing customers when she noticed Qin Yang approaching from her peripheral vision.

“Huh? Why is he coming over?”

There was only one minute left until closing time. Normally, he should be at the time clock preparing to punch out.

Why would he have spare time to come to her area?

“Strange.”

Thinking this, Li Qinghe quickly went to meet him. Noticing the grave expression on Qin Yang’s face, she cautiously asked:

“Master, what brings you here? Is something the matter?”

“Came to prepare something for you. Tonight might be unsettled.”

Qin Yang whispered, leaning against the bookshelf while searching his pockets. He took out several starstones and handed them to her.

“Unsettled?”

Li Qinghe accepted the starstones, examining the array inscriptions on them as an ancient aura swirled around.

This was the first time Qin Yang had given her anything.

Moreover,

it was also the first time she had seen his expression so serious!

“Could something be happening in the library?”

Li Qinghe hesitantly asked, “Should I report to the manager?”

“No need. Matters in the library are already settled.”

Qin Yang glanced toward the restroom direction and quietly instructed, “Take these starstones back to your father. The situation is unstable now, so be careful on your way home.””Just now, your grand-teacher sent me a message saying your father might be in danger tonight. Pay attention to strengthening the security around you.”

“As for these Starstones, keep them with you. If you encounter danger tonight… directly channel Star Power into them without hesitation!”

The serious voice fell.

Hearing this, Li Qinghe’s face instantly changed dramatically!
