Chapter 403: Chapter 369: No Inevitable Connection with Me

"No!"

Jiang Xiao reached out with a large hand toward Bao Lebin, evidently uninterested in heeding any advice.

"Hehehe, cherish the opportunity I’m giving you~ Otherwise, when the pandemonium of a hundred ghosts begins, you won’t be able to escape. The only people I want to kill are the curator and the Night Watchman."

Bao Lebin continued to persuade.

What?

What is this little rascal saying?

The curator dug his ear, doubting his own hearing.

"Impudent! Bao Lebin, do you know your status and mine? Mind your tone when you speak! Are you threatening me?"

The Night Watchman stepped forward, saying coldly.

"Kill us? What a joke, it’s like a tadpole tattooing a frog on itself... are you showing off your mother?"

At this moment, he was unaware that the person in front of him was no longer Bao Lebin.

"What my status is..."

Faced with the curator’s questioning, Bao Lebin tilted his head and said uncertainly after thinking for a while.

"I am just a poor and innocent Cleaner, certainly not comparable to you, Curator."

Cleaner?

The sealed memories surged back into his mind, and after a few probing questions, the curator and the Night Watchman were certain—the Bao Lebin before their eyes was indeed that well-known former colleague!

"You... you, how could you be in Bao Lebin’s body?!" The curator’s voice was filled with shock and fear.

Li, who thought he held all the cards, didn’t immediately show his true colors but methodically recounted everything that had happened after his death...

After hearing the story, the three men fell silent.

The saying goes, what goes around comes around, and Old Li had truly been squatting here for six years, waiting for his chance.

"So, the so-called staff all went insane..."

Old Li spread his hands.

"That’s right, they all went insane because of me. Possessed by a ghost, who wouldn’t go mad? After tonight, Bao Lebin will naturally lose his mind as well~"

So that was it...

The staff went insane one by one because their bodies were occupied by Old Li.

And by driving the old staff insane, he would enter the body of the next new staff member.

The cycle continued, all in the hopes that one day a chosen one would appear to break the established rules and find a chance to kill the curator and the Night Watchman.

Now, the opportunity had arrived~

"Just by you?"

The curator, guarded by the Night Watchman, didn’t believe that Old Li alone posed any threat to him.

"Did I say I was alone?"

As Old Li finished speaking, a rustling, sinister laughter suddenly echoed through the hall.

Damn!

Sweat broke out on both the curator and the Night Watchman.

These spirits all held grudges against them!

Though most people’s deaths had nothing to do with them, the fact remained that they had removed organs without consent, leaving them disfigured in death.

"Old Li! Do you think that by dragging these evil spirits with you, you can do anything to me? Do you think I became the curator without having any trump cards?!"

"Trump cards?"

Old Li shook his head, chuckling coldly.

"Hehe, perhaps you had them before last night, but... didn’t you just go to the storeroom? You should be clearer than I am about whether or not your trump card is still there."

Damn it...

Upon hearing this, the curator’s body swayed, not expecting Old Li to be so cunning.

"That hidden passageway, was it you who destroyed it?!"

"Yes!"

Bao Lebin frankly admitted it, also pointing out that he had arranged for those Soul Bodies last night.

Just for this moment.

Last night...

Last night the curator and the Night Watchman didn’t go to the warehouse but stayed in the lobby all night waiting for Jiang Xiao’s news.

Unexpectedly, they practically handed the opportunity to this sly fox.

Too cautious!

If Bao Lebin had known about the cooperation between Spider-Man and the funeral home, they wouldn’t even have needed to destroy the passageway.

"Ah, such a cleverly hidden mechanism, but it sure gave me a hard time searching for it. Several times I felt I was going to be caught, yet you two didn’t come all night, giving me this much time to operate."

Old Li candidly admitted that it was he who transported all the remaining bodies out of the warehouse through the secret passage, achieving the destruction of the domain and the cooperation with them.

"I couldn’t believe that even after the domain was destroyed it wasn’t enough. I’d been squatting in the dormitory for so long without hearing any movement outside. When I came out, lo and behold, a Peach Wood Sword was keeping them all at bay."

At this point, Old Li couldn’t help but smile.

He even felt like Lady Luck was on his side!

If even one person had stayed behind and not gone to the warehouse, he wouldn’t have had the chance to take down the Peach Wood Sword and let those things swarm in~

Everything was linked...

If even one thing went wrong, the curator wouldn’t have ended up in such a desperate situation.

What incredible endurance!

With Old Li’s maneuvers, not to mention that Spider-Man was already dead, even if he weren’t dead, he couldn’t have provided support in the completely sealed secret passage anytime soon.

"Heavens do watch over us, Jiang Xiao, you really are my lucky star, truly~"

It was clear that Old Li was very satisfied with the arrival of Jiang Xiao, the new employee - his destined golden boy.

Right!

There was still a chance!

The curator and the Night Watchman’s gaze locked onto Jiang Xiao.

And this kid, capable of taking down Spider-Man alone, just needed Jiang Xiao’s willing help to get through tonight’s life-and-death crisis.

"Jiang Xiao! Now that Old Li and these strange creatures are working together to finish us off, how about we cooperate to carve out a chance for survival?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiao outright refused with a hand gesture.

"Sorry, our paths don’t align. We should not scheme together."

Huh?

He first refused Old Li’s persuasion, then refused the curator’s offer to cooperate. What was he planning to do?

"All I want is simple, Bao Lebin, give me back my Peach Wood Sword, I don’t want to beat you up."

Old Li:...

"Jiang Xiao, let me settle my grudge with these two beasts, and I’ll return it to you, how’s that?"

He didn’t want to fall out with this man who was powerful to the point of being almost supernatural.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xiao felt that was also fine; getting back the Peach Wood Sword wasn’t urgent.

Seeing how agreeable Jiang Xiao was, the curator found this unacceptable!

"Bro! This kid is definitely cheating you! He says he’ll return it and will do so? What if he goes back on his word? What if he runs away after dealing with us? What if he’d rather die than return the Peach Wood Sword to you?"

Under the curator’s barrage of brainwashing, Jiang Xiao thought it over and felt that getting the Peach Wood Sword first was indeed safer.

Ah, this...

Old Li hesitated, worried that once he returned the Peach Wood Sword to Jiang Xiao, he would go on a rampage against the odd creatures wandering around.

These creatures were key to his control over the curator and the Night Watchman.

"Nuonuo, Nuonuo! Jiang Xiao, he’s hesitating, you can tell he’s got something to hide, better to cooperate with us!"

Tch!

"Jiang Xiao! I’ll return it to you, but can you assure me that you absolutely won’t interfere in my vendetta against these two, how about that!"

Jiang Xiao nodded, agreeing; after all, he wasn’t very acquainted with any of the three.

"I promise you, I can even use Wang Dayong’s life as a guarantee, I will not intervene."
