Chapter 348 - 207: The Art of West State’s Secret Boss! (Part 2)
...
In the office building, Bai Mo patted Fang Xiaoyu on the back to comfort her while expressing his admiration.
"This Poisonous Snake Rope is really quite useful."
That’s right, the chain that strangled Sequence Eight’s Talisman Master was precisely Bai Mo’s Poisonous Snake Rope, controlled by Bai Mo’s Divine Sense and slithering along the water pipes!
"There’s also a Fatty, hiding under the tree roots, what was he thinking?"
"Quite a bit crazy as well!"
...
In the dark underground, embraced by tree roots, Sequence Eight’s Immortal Martial, [Blood Man], curled up like an infant.
With the Wood Escape Talisman on him, nestled in this embrace of roots, it felt as comfortable as returning to the mother’s embrace.
Until he suddenly realized that the mother’s embrace of the tree roots unknowingly became too tight!
The thick roots wrapped around his head, his neck, his chest, abdomen, and limbs, continuously tightening!
"Huh?"
He hastily activated the Wood Escape Talisman!
But it was useless!
The aura of the Wood Escape Talisman fluctuated to no avail!
Mother tree roots seemed determined to hold him, lock him, strangle him to death!
"Ah!"
His fists burst forth with Blood Water Immortal Qi, unleashing the terrifying power of Blood Man, trying to break free!
The soil trembled slightly, but the tree roots were like cast iron, unshakable!
...
Swish!
A car stopped near the Immortal Grass Building.
Getting out of the car were Su Yaoyao, Sun Dabao, and Six-Eared Macaque!
Sun Dabao pointed to the distant small grove.
"Six Ears, quickly, listen carefully, see if there are any enemies in the grove!"
If there were no enemies in the grove, arrangements needed to be made quickly to evacuate the building personnel.
Seeing Six Ears leap onto the car roof, its six ears twitched, like a phased array radar, receiving soundwave signals from the air.
Soon, it broke into a smile!
"Zhi zhi zhi!"
Found them!
More than thirty of them!
It was about to point when suddenly it looked at the ground, its expression changed, eyes widened, hair damp with sweat, shivering wildly, stammering, incoherent!
"Zhi zhi zhi... zhi zhi zhi zhi... zhi zhi zhi zhi..."
Sun Dabao looked at Six Ears.
"What’s wrong?"
"What did you discover?"
Following Six Ears’ paw, he looked at the ground.
From a distance, on the ground of the small grove, under the fallen leaves, in the soil, there appeared to be springs gurgling blood water!
A sweet, bloody scent drifted with the wind.
Bright red blood water was flowing and flooding across the grove!
Sun Dabao, Six Ears, Su Yaoyao, and a group of waiting Immortal Technique Committee members couldn’t help but shiver.
...
In the office.
Bai Mo glanced at the livestream, and saw that the red mist around the Immortal Grass Building had begun to fade.
It was natural.
After all... The instigator of the red mist had already been strangled, and his flesh had fed the trees in the grove outside the building.
As for that Fatty, he too was crushed by the roots, shattered into a bloody mess, joining his companion in nourishing the trees.
"The Immortal Technique from Meat Bottle Mountain, learning and using it occasionally, studying and practicing it, is quite good."
...
In the small grove outside the office building.
One by one, naked men with their bodies covered in talismans were still expressionless, crazily clutching the trees, holding daggers, guarding windows or doorways.
The bark against their skin suddenly sprouted fingers that dug into their chests and abdomens!
Piercing through the skin, through flesh and blood, passing between ribs, into their organs!
But within these fingers, there was a paralyzing poison, a hypnotic poison, leaving them unaware.
Until their consciousness grew increasingly drowsy, until they eventually died.
...
In the office.
Bai Mo was held by Fang Xiaoyu, listening to her sobs, his shoulder dampened by her tears.
"Alright, alright, look, the group says the red smoke is dissipating!"
Someone was already sending messages in the large group of the Immortal Grass Office Building.
[Hahaha, the red smoke is gone!]
[Does this mean we’ve been saved?]
[Has the crisis been resolved?]
Professor Zhang sent out a message.
[Everyone, stay calm!]
Suddenly, someone else sent a message.
[Oh crap, look at the small grove outside the window!]
It turned out that in the small grove, on each tree, there were men stark naked, marked all over with talismans.
They were clinging to the trees tightly, fresh blood flowing incessantly from their bodies like a small waterfall, dyeing the trunks red!
...
"Ah, it’s finally over."
Outside the Immortal Grass Building, academic experts and administrative personnel squatted by the roadside waiting.
At this moment, some were crying, some were laughing, all taking deep breaths of fresh air.
Bai Mo sat on the curb, holding the still-crying Fang Xiaoyu by the shoulder.
"Don’t cry, it’s all over."
"What are you still afraid of?"
Fang Xiaoyu buried her face in Bai Mo’s shoulder, still sobbing.
What’s strange is, she’s been in the Immortal Technique Committee, encountered many dangers, usually she’s tough enough.
But now with Bai Mo by her side, she especially wanted to cry, her tears were uncontrollable.
Li Fangming and Chen Wenquan were also sitting nearby, looking at the Immortal Grass Building from a distance, watching the Immortal Technique Committee members bustling in and out.
Li Fangming’s face was ashen.
"What the hell happened?
The building spewed red smoke for a while, and then a bunch of dead people appeared hanging on the trees outside?"
Chen Wenquan was also apprehensive, his voice hoarse.
"Damn, this is a real sanity drop!"
Bai Mo had the Black Bracelet on his shoulder, expressionless.
This time he made a move, partly to test the Immortal Technique of Meat Bottle Mountain.
On the other hand, he wanted to give these blind idiots a bit of a fright.
"The Immortal Technique of Meat Bottle Mountain isn’t much in terms of power, but visually, it sure packs a punch!"
...
The small grove outside the Immortal Grass Building.
Chairman Chen Shu and Professor Zhang, leading a group of experts, were stepping on the blood-soaked ground, inspecting the aftermath of the battlefield.
The young Immortal Technique Committee member, stepping on a ladder, cautiously trying to take down the dead bodies hanging from the trees.
Chairman Chen Shu and Professor Zhang were speechless.
Both had Divine Sense, and they already knew how these people died on the trees.
Since becoming involved in immortality, they had seen many shocking scenes, but today, seeing fingers growing from trees poking through and ripping open the victims’ organs... among all horrific scenes, this one was certainly noteworthy.
"Sigh... Did he make a move?
Does he even know this kind of Immortal Technique?"
Nearby, Six Ears pointed his monkey paw at a certain point on the ground, expression twisted and excited.
"Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak!"
Two Immortal Technique Committee members wielded shovels, quickly digging at the spot indicated by the monkey paw.
The blood-soaked soil was very easy to dig, the only downside being the stench made one nauseous.
The two committee members endured, digging deeper and deeper into the pit.
Before long, they stopped their shoveling, revealing a pile of hair, clothes, bone fragments, and pale yellow dry meat fibers at the bottom of the pit.
"What is this stuff?"
Chairman Chen Shu and Professor Zhang came closer, more experienced, they observed and pondered for a while, guessing the truth.
"This is... all the blood and moisture of the bodies have been drained, leaving only hair, bone fragments, and dry meat fibers?"
The committee members fell silent.
Drained... drained dry?
What kind of draining turns bodies into pale yellow dry fibers?
After a long silence, Chairman Chen Shu gave an order.
"Take photographs, get them clear!"
"Photograph the blood holes in the chests and abdomens of those hanging from the trees, the fingers stained red by blood that have grown out from the trees, the trunks stained red by blood, and the bodies that have been drained dry."
"Don’t go through official channels, hire internet trolls, find some groups, forums, and spread the story and these photos!"
"Let the wanted criminals, fence-sitters, turncoats, and degenerates all see!"
"Our boss in West State City outwardly has always appeared quite merciful."
"This time, we need to show people another side of him."
"Let the villains witness his other side."
Chairman Chen Shu’s cultivation in Immortal Technique isn’t all that impressive, he’ll likely be stuck at Sequence Eight for life.
But when it comes to propaganda, he’s a little genius!
At this moment, he frowned, pondered for a moment.
"Yes, package these photos, add some written explanation, disseminate it online through unofficial channels."
"Title the photo package ’Art’!"
"The ’Art’ of the boss behind West State City!"
