Chapter 142: Chapter 123 Still No Free Will to Set My Mind at Ease

The moon was dark—a perfect night for murder!

The moonlight dimmed and without luster, the wind forceful, casting an ominous and oppressive atmosphere.

This was often considered an ideal time for concealing one’s movements, for covering one’s tracks.

Chen Yun did possess long-range perception, nearly a hundred percent effective in avoiding all cameras and the public’s gaze, allowing him to wander and stealth through this modern society like an apparitional specter.

However, at times, he felt that acting late at night added a more fitting ambience.

More importantly,

he was otherwise occupied with pressing matters and couldn’t immediately go to Xianghe Real Estate to demand the experimental materials. Once he was done with his urgent tasks, it would be deep into the night anyway.

Chen Yun chose to sacrifice his planned time for writing web novels, not that it mattered since his backlog could last an eternity.

Half-past midnight.

Fully disguised, he arrived at Heaven Nightclub.

Although this time no one could follow him inside, Chen Yun didn’t opt to enter through a window without leaving a trace.

Because his Transparent World Perception had already confirmed that his target, Cigar Man, wasn’t there.

So...

Chen Yun chose to quickly knock out two security guards inside the door and used their phone to dial a number he had called before.

"Who is this? Calling at this hour, you’d better have a good reason,"

the familiar voice on the other end sounded impatient.

Hearing this, Chen Yun arched an eyebrow.

Calmly, he spoke in Hong Kong cinematic tones that he had used during his previous visit here, "Come to Heaven Nightclub, you’ve got fifteen minutes."

"Oh, and don’t run any red lights."

Chen Yun’s voice remained calm.

He was confident that he’d left a profoundly deep impression on Cigar Man on the other end of the phone. Without saying much more, he hung up.

...

Meanwhile, Tan Bingtang on the other end of the line was completely befuddled.

That voice?! It was him!

Tan Bingtang would never forget the voice of this top-tier assassin, the one who gave him a chance to climb the ranks.

Almost the instant he heard the voice, fear seemed to take hold of his brain.

It wasn’t until the droning tone of a disconnected call sounded that he realized the problem.

Dammit! Fifteen minutes?!

Was he supposed to fly there?!

Though terrified, Tan Bingtang dared not say more.

He pushed away the girl swaying on top of him and rushed to get dressed, hurrying down to the parking garage of his residence.

On his way, he also called his brother, who was in charge of Heaven Nightclub that night, to entertain Chen Yun.

Reaching the garage,

he hastily opened the car door, too urgent to instruct his driver to come down, and immediately started the engine, speeding towards the direction of Heaven Nightclub.

The two red lights he encountered along the way made his heart jump.

The ticking seconds of red light time made him feel desperate, yet because of Chen Yun’s command not to run red lights, he dared not make any rash moves.

Once the countdown ended, he shot out like a bullet.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance of Heaven Nightclub.

Adding in the minute and a half wasted on red lights, he had spent a total of fourteen minutes, just about on time.

Tan Bingtang let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly got out of the car to walk towards Heaven Nightclub.

The security guards at the door had been swapped out with two others.

Clearly, Tan Bingtang’s earlier instructions had been effective; the formidable man had been invited upstairs.

This eased his mind.

Yet still, his heart was filled with trepidation as he went upstairs.

When he finally arrived at the private room where he first encountered the formidable man, he took a deep breath before pushing the door open.

As the door to the private room opened,

there stood his younger brother whom the formidable man had knocked out with a single punch during their last encounter, now fawning and smiling beside him.

Besides that,

there was also the woman who had been present that day, currently serving tea and water.

Clearly,

his brother Tan Wenqing was quite sensible.

After Tan Bingtang had shown him the surveillance video and explained things, he vividly understood the terrifying nature of this formidable man.

Now that the man had returned,

he was excessively attentive, almost as if he wished he could kneel on the ground and serve as his son.

Seeing this,

Tan Bingtang scornfully rolled his eyes and prepared to eagerly step in and suck up.

However, before he could do anything,

Chen Yun opened his mouth and said, "Tan... Bingtang, right? Do something for me."

His voice was filled with a commanding tone.

It was a bit stilted as he had just learned Tan Bingtang’s name from Tan Wenqing on the side.

But it filled Tan Bingtang with an immense sense of honor.

He quickly stepped forward a few paces, and with a knowing kneel, frightened both Tan Wenqing and the tea-serving girl at his side.

"Brother, just say the word, and if I hesitate to obey, you can take my head."

Tan Bingtang expressed his loyalty earnestly.

He was aware of the unparalleled opportunity before him.

He had always wanted to be at the beck and call of this strong man, as being useful meant he wouldn’t be tossed away like trash.

He wasn’t looking to gain favor.

He simply didn’t want to die.

The body of the Second Master, headless, had indeed left a deep psychological shadow on him.

Now, the chance was right before his eyes.

Not one to ever miss an opportunity, he was as decisive as ever, choosing to kneel.

Since ancient times,

no gesture had more potently communicated one’s own insignificance and submission than kneeling down.

This caused Tan Wenqing, who stood by, to startle briefly, before he pressed down on the head of the girl beside him and knelt down as well.

For a moment,

three people in the private room knelt.

Only Chen Yun sat.

Seeing this, Chen Yun couldn’t help but fall silent.

Hiss...

It always felt as if he had become one of those villains in stories who would be slaughtered by the protagonist.

He couldn’t help but remain silent for a moment.

And such silence made Tan Bingtang, who was kneeling on the ground, feel restless, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Sometimes death wasn’t frightening.

Waiting for death was often scarier.

However, thankfully, the sound he longed to hear soon rang out,

"Bring over a few pieces of trash—preferably the kind whose death would be of no consequence."

Chen Yun said this and lay back on the sofa.

He simply issued orders, without concern for how others would resolve them.

If the vast Xianghe Real Estate couldn’t bring forward a few pieces of trash, then Chen Yun would have to assume that everyone in Xianghe Real Estate was trash.

He lay there with his eyes closed, concentrating.

Tan Bingtang was quick to stand up, rushing out of the room with Tan Wenqing, leaving only the girl to massage Chen Yun’s back.

This was the first command.

Tan Bingtang, who had clearly understood his place, would do anything to fulfill it as quickly as possible.

...

It didn’t take half an hour.

Six robust young men returned to the private room, with two men tied up with ropes.

Tan Bingtang and Tan Wenqing followed them in, waving their hands to send the six robust young men out.

Those six men were there to keep the two carefully selected pieces of trash from struggling.

Now that they had entered this room, they no longer needed the six robust young men, as Tan Bingtang knew that anyone who entered here had to lie down.

"Brother, I’ve brought them."

"This is one of the trusted followers of the former Second Master, always rampant, has done too many inhuman things."

Tan Bingtang pointed at the two pieces of trash and said to Chen Yun.

Upon hearing this,

Chen Yun nodded.

Then he gestured for everyone except for himself and the two pieces of trash to leave.

Tan Bingtang immediately complied, even standing guard not far from the private room door quite seriously, making sure that no one approached.

Clearly, he feared that any mishandling of an order would result in being torn apart by Chen Yun.

When he saw everyone had left,

Chen Yun looked at the two trussed up pieces of trash before him and squinted slightly.

The next moment,

he released his spiritual power, touching the emotions of one of the pieces of trash.

Just like the previous experiments, the actions of this piece of trash immediately came to a halt, as if a pause button on time had been hit.

Chen Yun did not concern himself with these details.

He was slightly surprised at the size of the emotional entities of humans, much larger than those of lab rats.

Human emotions are complicated.

Chen Yun continued to delve into his spiritual power, observing human emotions from the structure of more finely differentiated categories.

He discovered far more emotions than the few simple ones in the lab rats,

Just the emotions similar to fear alone, Chen Yun could intricately feel many kinds, including but not limited to fears of pain, disease, aging, death, change, the unknown, loneliness, intimate relationships, failure, and the loss of control.

Let’s not even talk about other emotions.

Clearly, the emotions of the lab rats could not be further differentiated because their emotions were so simple.

But with humans, it was different; each person’s emotions were incredibly complex.

With this, Chen Yun excitedly tried to stimulate all kinds of different emotions.

After a series of observation experiments,

Chen Yun found that aside from the complexity of the emotions being different, the process of stimulating them was much the same.

Just infuse spiritual power, and it would briefly stimulate the corresponding emotion. Then, that kind of emotion would become more sensitive afterward.

On the two pieces of trash, Chen Yun tentatively tried all the emotions he could stimulate, gaining a deep understanding of most of the human emotions.

But having mastered this new feature of spiritual power in a preliminary way, he reached a point where it could be applied even on humans.

However, this kind of experiment also led to a result.

That was, the overly frequent stimulation of various emotions caused the mental breakdown of the two pieces of trash, displaying a state of twisted eyes, off-kilter mouth, and drooling.

Seeing this, Chen Yun called Tan Bingtang, who was waiting outside.

"Deal with them as you see fit."

Chen Yun pointed at the two pieces of trash on the ground.

Tan Bingtang immediately nodded very understandingly, starting to make phone calls and issuing orders.

Mumbling words like concrete, sacks, and sinking in the river.

And Chen Yun, observing Tan Bingtang’s obedient and useful behavior, felt that he could continue to be used in the future.

Having such a subordinate to order around would indeed make things more convenient.

Now that spiritual power had this new feature, which could ensure a subordinate’s loyalty, then it seemed permissible to take on a lackey to run errands.

This way, he could avoid the worries of secular life in the future, including money and various other concerns; taking on such a subordinate would solve everything.

Thinking this,

Chen Yun’s spiritual power reached out to Tan Bingtang, who had just finished the phone call, causing his movements to halt.

Then he began to amplify Tan Bingtang’s emotions of fear and submission toward him.

This was a subtle and silent personality correction!

Ensuring he would never betray.
