Chapter 175 - Holy Infant

Chapter 175: Holy Infant

Wang Lao Er heard that he had been cursed with a Tame Head but after a brief shock, he was not surprised. On the contrary, he had an expression of “I know.”

“What’s going on? Who did you mess with?” Sister-in-law Wang’s tone was rather anxious.

“Wait, I felt a subtle mental fluctuation outside the neighborhood. Someone’s coming.” Long Aotian frowned.

The crowd was taken aback.

“Tame Head? I went to Thailand on this business trip.” Wang Lao Er organized his language. “I won’t reveal the content of the task, as the company has regulations. But the person I provoked this time was a complete accident and had nothing to do with the mission.”

“I found a demon descendants organization in Thailand that summoned evil spirits to foreign tourists as a local feature game. There are a lot of people who like to explore the strange. Everyone who plays the game will be cursed with a Tame Head and get haunted by a vengeful spirit. In less than three days, they will die and turn into a new vengeful spirit.”

“They also introduced me to this ‘special feature’ game. I could tell there was a problem as soon as I saw it. They really summoned an evil spirit at night, and then I beat it up.”

“I learned from it that the demon descendants organization was raising holy infants with vengeful spirits.”

King Kong said, “Kuman Thong?”

Mo Fei shook her head. “A Kuman Thong is just a small ghost and it’s insignificant. The holy infant is not. It’s a terrifying ghost. As we all know, although vengeful spirits are not powerful, but if the quantity reaches a certain extent, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change. I remember in the last century, in 1992, there was a holy infant in Thailand.”

“It can devour vengeful spirits to grow, and there is no upper limit. It revealed its malevolent side in front of the world for the first time, when it devoured hundreds of lives in one night, including many demon descendants.”

“However, the refining conditions needed to cultivate a holy infant are very harsh. The core materials needed a newborn, where its natural aura has not dissipated. I don’t know the conditions the baby needs to have as there is no record of this in the files. But in 1992, an evil demon descendants organization in Thailand found a holy infant that fulfilled such conditions.”

“Ask Mo Fei if you weren’t sure about what happened. She is an archivist and has an insane amount of information in her head.”

“I know that too.” Victoria found a chance to interrupt. “The essence of the holy infant is a tame head curse, which was later wiped out by Thai official organizations. Many were killed and badly injured. But our Association of Superpowered Beings suspect that the holy infant incident was originally created by Thai officials. They found that the holy infant was uncontrollable, so it could only be eliminated.”

“America knows a lot, I see, it is even in charge of matters in Asia,” Li Xianyu commented sarcastically.

“Duh, they get involved in everything all over the world,” King Kong added.

Victoria looked a little embarrassed and resentful, and did not speak.

Li Xianyu thought about it and handed her a hot dog. It wasn’t good to snark at others all the time, it will show that men in China were petty. Victoria, on the other hand, did not have a short temper and people rarely saw her angry, but the information clearly showed that she was a destructive female god of war.

“That holy infant was a semi-finished product…”

“Wait.” Li Xianyu raised his hand. “I remember that vengeful spirits can’t communicate. A soul that has a lingering obsession will turn into a ghost, but if that obsession is resentment, it will become a monster that can’t communicate.”

At least he had more than half a month of experience catching ghosts, except that Zhang Chen, who had a deep attachment to his dog, remained in the world due to his lingering love for his dog. Other vengeful spirits were formed from resentment and were violent. They were also completely unable to communicate at the sight of others.

“Wang Lao Er is a Buddhist disciple of Lianghua Temple. He is a better professional than you,” Thunderbolt Battle Lady explained.

Wang Lao Er nodded. “I exorcised the evil spirit, and before it vanished, it disclosed the information to me. That holy infant was a semi-finished product. I went to the address it told me and found the nest of the demon descendants organization. The so-called holy infant was indeed a baby. It was still alive, but it was already a ghost.”

“The infant was covered with blue and black blood vessels, had red eyeballs and fangs. Someone would feed it vengeful spirits and witchcraft insects. I have rarely seen such evil and resentment in my life.”

“It’s pitiful for a child to be cultivated into a ghost, so I threw a highly explosive grenade at it.”

“Highly explosive grenade?!” Li Xianyu was stunned for a moment.

Can a highly explosive grenade deal with an holy infant? Shouldn’t it be a move like Buddha’s Palm or The Sutra of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha?

“As it was essentially a child, the best and safest way to destroy it is, of course, to throw a grenade. Fortunately, it is semi-finished, or I will not be able to come back.” Wang Lao Er said, “After destroying the holy infant, I charged my way out, and then returned back. I thought they would come to China if they had the ability.”

This sentence fully reflected that foreign talents were no pushovers. Ye Liangchen, a native, looked fierce but was actually weak.

“In the end, they did come for me.” Wang Lao Er wondered. “This is our Baoze base camp, these guys are not afraid to die?”

Kato Eagle sighed, “It’s also possible that they didn’t want to hunt you down, but a mysterious force from the East has made them lose their rationality and decided to assassinate you in a hurry.”

Wang Lao Er looked at Lady Killer, but was surprised to find that including Lady Killer, all eyes were on Li Xianyu.

“Why are y’all looking at me?” Li Xianyu was very aggrieved. “You are going to blame this on me too?”

Everyone had a knowing expression.

Wang Lao Er was also very calm. “I have a suggestion. Why don’t we scare that guy? Let’s conceal our aura and mental powers and pretend to be ordinary people.”

He wasn’t a mental power awakener. If only he and his wife were in the villa, it would be a bit tricky. The power of a mental power awakener was strange and could not be defended. If the other party’s mental power was too strong, it could even destroy Wang Lao Er’s sanity and turn him into a vegetable.

But he was not panicking at all. Now that there was a group of senior employees in the villa and they were in Shanghai, he wouldn’t be scared even if the holy infant was here.

Ordinary people couldn’t see the black smoke, as it flew and curled in the air. However, along the way there are a few villas with big dogs. Out of animal instinct, they could sense the danger, and were either frightened and curled up, or frantically barking at the air.

The black smoke floated to the villa quietly, and finally stopped in the middle of the villa. It then twisted into an old face. He looked across the courtyard, where a barbecue was under way. With the exception of the thin middle-aged man who was deeply hated by the organization and vowed to chase him to the ends of the earth, the others were all ordinary people.

But even if they were ordinary people, they had to die tonight. Whoever were friends with the middle-aged man had to bear the anger of the organization.

The funny thing was that they all turned their backs on it, unaware of the arrival of death.

Wang Lao Er’s heart sensed it as he faced the black smoke, as his expression changed greatly. “Who is it?”

“Don’t think you are safe after escaping back to China. Die.” The black smoke, with endless resentment and anger, rushed towards the crowd in the yard.

But just then, the group of “ordinary people” suddenly turned their heads, as pairs of scarlet eyes lit up, staring at the black smoke. The black smoke stopped in mid-air, and the scene was like a still picture. The air was quiet.

At this point, I should leave at once… However, the black smoke found that it had the desire to charge forward recklessly. Be reckless, it doesn’t cost money anyway. You’ll just lose your life… Shit, yes, I will die. What am I thinking? I’m definitely running away. He turned and ran.

Lady Killer said, “Tsk tsk. Its reaction is pretty fast.” But it was too late. The small fat man below roared at him, and his roar was mixed with pure and powerful spiritual attack. The black smoke blew up and turned into an old man wrapped in a black robe. Before he fell to the ground, he was held by an invisible hand and lifted in mid-air.

Whoosh whoosh! Four steel beads pierced his knees and elbows at the same time, and blood spurted.

Li Xianyu looked at this scene, amazed. Although this group of guys in the group were often horsing around, but the strength of senior staff was not weakened at all. With tacit understanding of each other, they won the seemingly strong Thai demon descendant effortlessly. That was what he thought when the old man roared and exploded into a buzzing flock of insects.

“No, he’s running away.” Li Xianyu was startled. You have many interesting techniques, he thought.

Right after he finished speaking, he saw Fire Child take a deep breath and spit out a scorching flame ten meters long from his mouth. The old man in black was scorched and fell to the ground, dying.

Kato Eagle flicked out a few nails. It was a restraining device designed specifically for demon descendants. Li Xianyu had seen that these nails once subdued two undead monsters in the valley.

The old man in black looked at the crowd blankly and furiously. What happened in front of him was completely unexpected and was not quite what he thought. Did these terrifying demon descendants know that he would attack, and decided to ambush and wait for him on purpose?

He was the equivalent of a protector in the organization and was very strong, but in the face of this group of demon descendants with different techniques but was equally powerful, he lost quickly and did not have the power to fight back.

“What should we do with this guy? If he isn’t useful, why don’t you give him to me?” Li Xianyu took off his gloves and the blood vessels in his arm lit up.

A few women, including Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Victoria, subconsciously took a few steps back.

The black-robed old man was terrified, as he wriggled his body in horror, and trembled “What’s that? What’s that? Don’t come near me…” he muttered frantically in Thai.

“No, let me take him back to the company. He is not weak and should have a very high status in the organization. He should be brought back to the underground prison to be locked up. We may be able to torture information from him about the holy infant.” Tentacle Monster said, “But I’m not full yet. Let’s continue and throw him aside.”

“I won’t say anything!” the old man shouted.

Wang Lao Er knew a bit of Thai and interpreted for him, “He said he wouldn’t say anything.”

Tentacle Monster shrugged its shoulders. “Don’t be so sure yet. In China, there is something called ‘You will eat your words.’ Lao Er, translate it to him.”

Wang Lao Er was done. “I can’t translate that.”

Thus, the old man in black robes was tied up and left by the pool. The group of people continued to drink, eat barbecue, sing and dance.

“Sawasdee!” Mo Fei approached the old man with a glass of wine. He had dark skin, thick lips and strong Thai features.

The old man looked at her warily.

Mo Fei raised the wine in her hand and fed it to him. The old man refused at first, but after sipping a few mouthfuls, he let go of his guard and drank.

When he finished drinking, Mo Fei took out her mobile phone and turned on the translation software. “You know how to create holy infants. Are you Thai officials?”

With that, she showed the old man the screen of her mobile phone. The old man glanced at it and did not speak.

“What conditions do selected babies need to meet? What is the principle by which it devours the vengeful spirits and is infinitely powerful?”

The old man remained silent.

“This already happened once upon a time. Did you refine the holy infant to retaliate against society, or did you find a way to control it? Anyway, your holy infant has been destroyed.”

The old man suddenly became agitated and muttered a lot.

“Slow down and say it again.” Mo Fei put her mobile phone near his mouth.

“The holy infant will not be killed by a mere grenade, and when it returns, it will take revenge against you,” the old man said.

The holy infant is not dead?

Mo Fei frowned and turned her head and asked, “Wang Lao Er, are you sure you killed the holy infant?”

“What do you mean?” Wang Lao Er asked.

“The old man said the holy infant was not dead,” Mo Fei said.

“Are you kidding me?”

“Didn’t you check?” Seeing his expression, Mo Fei’s heart turned cold.

“Nonsense, I ran away after throwing the grenade. I was surrounded by enemies, where I do have the time to check? A cool guy never looks back at the explosion.” Wang Lao Er scratched his head and said, “What the fuck, if the holy infant is not dead, why are they chasing me across the border to kill me?”

Lady Killer frowned and asked, “Mo Fei, what are you trying to say?”

Mo Fei looked at the crowd and whispered, “I’m not sure. If the holy infant is not dead, several branches in Southeast Asia will have to be vigilant. This thing is a strategic weapon. It is extremely terrifying. I have read the information of what had happened that year and suspect that it’s final form can match up to a Gokudo master.”

“Are you kidding me?” The crowd was taken aback.

“Mmhmm.” Murphy nodded in affirmation. “The baby was not in full form in 1992. Although this thing claims to be infinitely enhanced, we all know that this is impossible. The so-called infinite enhancement should be its high upper limit. At that time, Thai officials and folk demon descendants experts participated in the encirclement and suppression of the holy infant. There were five S-class masters, but only one survived.”

“Assuming that the matter was covert manipulation by Thai officials, why should they restart the holy infant’s refining program after more than 20 years’ time? The holy infant is uncontrollable, and Thai officials should know best what made them desperate to make the holy infant at such a risk.”

All of you are smart people, and the answer was obvious: Great Deities Palace!

Everyone turned their attention to Li Xianyu. Speaking of the Great Deities Palace, he was definitely a key figure.

Li Bai was shocked. “Therefore, the holy infant is also because of Li Xianyu’s trouble magnet physique. That is why it’s cultivated again.”

Li Xianyu said angrily, “That’s too much. I’m not Wangchen. Don’t blame everything on me.”

The blood vessels on his left arm lit up, and Slime resonated with him. “Yes, it’s all Wangchen’s fault. Everything is Wangchen’s fault.”

“Shit, this thing can still talk.” With the exception of Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Great-Grandma, everyone was startled.

Li Xianyu hurriedly picked up the gloves and put them on again. He forgot to wear his gloves just now.

If this was confirmed, it was definitely not good news. At present, the only Gokudo master in the demon descendants community was Buddha Head. After Li Wuxiang’s death, Buddha Head had lived in seclusion in Lianghua Temple for 20 years without going out of the mountain for half a step. He would certainly not be involved in the Great Deities Palace.

If Thailand really created the holy infant, coupled with the influx of demon descendants from all over the world, then once the Great Deities Palace was opened, it would be an unprecedented storm of blood.

“Fortunately, we have Big Boss,” Mo Fei said.

All the people heard this and heaved a sigh of relief. The big boss didn’t get involved in the company’s internal affairs in these years. Due to this, it was assumed that he was hiding and attempting to cultivate himself into a Gokudo master. He might already be one.

However, my gran does not know the location of the Great Deities Palace. Li Xianyu snarked in his heart.

“Too weak,” Great-Grandma said.

“What?” Li Xianyu looked at her.

“You’re too weak. I don’t know when the Great Deities Palace will open, but I have a hunch that it won’t be long. Your strength is not bad, but it’s not enough to hold your own,” Great-Grandma commented. She frowned. “You have to be at the level of senior staff before next year, and you have to be the best of the top employees, or you’ll still be dead meat.”

If Li Xianyu could reach the top level of senior employees, she could crush the top masters on the demon descendants list ranked below 50. If he could reach S-class, Great-Grandma would be a half step Gokudo master. If he could reach Li Wuxiang’s previous position, which was on the top 10 of the demon descendants list, Great-Grandma would be able to return to her position as Gokudo master.

Li Xianyu’s situation was not as dangerous as his father’s situation was. At present, everyone’s eyes were staring at him mainly because of the position of the Great Deities Palace. Their target was the Great Deities Palace. If Li Xianyu were to practice to become the top of the senior staff, then the danger and risk would be greatly reduced.

“Lightning King gave you ten days off, right? Cancel it. I’ll take you out on a mission. You need to train,” Great-Grandma said.

“But I thought we agreed to stay at home and play games together. You also think it’s more fun for two to gang up than playing alone.”

“Although… it’s fun, you can’t lose your goal.”

“Look at your pained expression.”

“Shut up. Are you asking for a beating?”
