The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

Slightly squinting his eyes, Zhu Haomiao began to think carefully, analyzing seriously.

Although it's a routine operation for prisoners to die in Death in Prison, if no one from the prison under my management can leave alive...

Emmmm...

Thinking about it, it's still a bit excessive...

Besides, it's unknown whether this damage is reversible...

If it can be recovered, then as long as the base number of prisoners is large enough, I can fully build an ecological civilization, sustainably draining the pond to catch all the fish!

A gold mountain or silver mountain is not as good as a green water and blue mountain!

Before his eyes seemingly appeared an endless crop of chives, Zhu Haomiao was full of excitement, slowly turning his head to look at the prisoner in the adjacent cell.

"Eek!"

Feeling the gaze fall on him, the bearded man who had shrunk himself to reduce his presence shivered all over, his body uncontrollably trembling violently, unable to stop himself from slowly turning his head, his neck stiff and rusty like it was, meeting the gaze with terror and despair.

"You're Chai Qing, right?"

"A Red Stick from the Tiger Head Gang, right?"

Seeing the youth approaching with a kind and gentle smile, Chai Qing seemed to see a demon opening its bloody mouth wide, and involuntarily let out a sharp scream.

"No!!!! Don't come over here, ahhhh!!!"

Zhu Haomiao: "..."

The warm affectionate smile gradually disappeared, and the youth's face sank like water. He raised his hand, and a vague, twisted snake-shaped Qi Force instantly formed.

"I, the dignified Pingyang Earl, deign to welcome you with a smile, and you don't know how to appreciate it!"

"Refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

With a flick of his hand, the sinister and hidden snake-shaped Qi Force pierced into Chai Qing's chest in mid-air, like a living creature burrowing into his internal organs, frantically gnawing, causing him unbearable pain!

"Aaaaaaah!!!!"

The eerie, anguished howl echoed in the dark underground space, even the prisoners above faintly heard the despairing wail from below, quaking in fear one by one.

More than ten minutes later, a refreshed and handsome youth walked up.

Wherever he went, all prisoners seemed to see a demon, crazily squeezing into the corner, using every method to stay away from him, as if that might make them a little safer.

Ignoring these prisoners like startled birds, under the respectful gaze of the duty staff, Zhu Haomiao stepped out of the gloomy prison, stretching comfortably in the brilliant sunshine.

"Woo~~~~"

[Book of Black]: Devour Source Quality, [Strength] +0.1

His entire body issued a series of crisp joint sounds, Zhu Haomiao looked at the information in the [Book of Black], nodding with satisfaction.

It seems that the attributes extracted with this move are like opening a blind box and won't be fixed to one type.

Uncertain whether it's the person's reason or a probability reason...

Next time, try extracting once from Huo Hong or Chai Qing again...

As he was planning in his heart, Zhu Haomiao suddenly saw Yan Yunsheng rushing over anxiously.

"Sir, the documents are ready."

Taking the documents handed over by Yan Yunsheng, Zhu Haomiao casually flipped through them, nodding.

"Bring the corpses, come with me to the General Office."

"As you command!"

Yan Yunsheng excitedly cupped his fists, feeling that all the hardship had finally ended, rejoicing and feeling elated!

Finally, our superior has risen!

Now, who dares to trouble me?!

Taking three corpses, a group of people hurriedly arrived at the Anti-theft Bureau's General Office near the Imperial City.

"You all go submit and verify the heads, I will handle the documents."

"Yes!"

Dividing into two groups, Zhu Haomiao came alone to the document management department, finding the main registrar.

"Excuse me, sir, I have three brothers who died for the country, I want to apply for them to be posthumously named as heroic figures."

Taking the documents handed by the youth, the middle-aged man with a goatee, cultured and refined, glanced through them rapidly, then casually threw them aside.

"Understood, Lord Pingyang Earl, please leave now."

Noticing the blatant disdain of the other party, Zhu Haomiao slightly furrowed his brows and asked further.

"When can the procedures be completed?"

"When there's a result, you'll be notified naturally, go back and wait."

The main registrar waved his hand impatiently, like swatting a fly away.

Suppressing the anger deep in his eyes, Zhu Haomiao slowly took a deep breath, silently fortifying himself psychologically.

Amitabha Buddha, Infinite Venerable!

I, Little Zhuzhu, am indeed a kind-hearted good boy!!

Can't just kill people because they have a bad attitude!

Killing is against the law!

Calm down!

Calm down!

[Book of Black]: Restrain anger, Dao Heart +1

"??!"

With indescribable feelings of frowning, Zhu Haomiao regained his calm, took out several other documents.

"Also, I want to claim rewards!"

Reluctantly taking the documents, the main registrar browsed through, his gaze wandering between the youth and the documents, squinting subtly as if calculating something.

"This is expected to have results within ten days to a month, you'll be notified then."

Hearing the specific time frame, Zhu Haomiao nodded, turned, and left, vaguely hearing the chatter behind him.

"Isn't this that famous loser?"

"What's he doing at the General Office?"

...

As the distance increased, the conversation gradually blurred, Zhu Haomiao's brows slightly furrowed, reunited with his subordinates.

"Sir, the evidence has been submitted."

"Mm, you all go back first, I have to visit a senior."

Considering the main registrar's attitude towards him, Zhu Haomiao felt it was necessary to maintain some connections from his original life.

Knowing that the youth still had relations in the General Office, Yan Yunsheng and the others were delighted, excitedly cupped their fists, and left.

Zhu Haomiao, meanwhile, made his way to the most central building of the General Office, finding the side hall from his memory.

......

On the other side, Yin Tianze was dealing with official business when a subordinate hurriedly came in to report.

"Sir, Pingyang Earl requests an audience."

Lifting his head from the piles of documents, recalling that incompetent younger generation, Yin Tianze waved his hand in annoyance.

"No..."

But before the word "see" could come out, the figure of the previous generation Pingyang Earl flashed before his eyes.

Remembering that he took three cuts to save his life!

Recalling the previous good relations between the two families, and the betrothal by joining thumbs...

Remembering that after Li Lin grew up and he saw the youth's demeanor, he even regretted the engagement, Yin Tianze was filled with deep guilt, his heart involuntarily softening.

"Sigh... let him come in."

"Yes."

A moment later, a tall and handsome youth entered the room, greeting respectfully without arrogance or servility.

"Nephew Li Lin, greets Uncle."

"Eh?!"

Originally intending to brush him off and send him away, upon seeing the youth, Yin Tianze could hardly believe his eyes.

The person was still the same, but his demeanor was completely different!

Previously, Li Lin would shrink back, not daring to meet his gaze.

And once they locked eyes, he would tremble all over like a gutter rat seeing a cat, not knowing what he was afraid of!

What a waste of that good appearance!

But now, the youth's posture was upright, meeting his gaze with calm composure, a hint of inherent dignity between his brows!

Though still somewhat immature, as he scrutinized the youth before him, Yin Tianze, who had met countless people, seemed to see a budding flower, vaguely witnessing his future elegance and charm!

No!

If I had known you would grow like this, why would I have regretted the engagement back then!!
