"Has Li Cunxu started working yet?"

One of the directors of the Rimu Group, Director Ling, asked.

Bai Liangfeng bowed respectfully and replied, "No, he said he has issues with his eyes and refused to join."

"Do you think there's still a possibility of him joining?"

Bai Liangfeng pondered seriously, "His attitude is resolute, the possibility is less than ten percent."

Director Ling tapped the table, his gaze turning vicious.

"Since he doesn't cherish this opportunity, then gouge them out! There are plenty of people who can make use of his eyes."

"Yes."

...

In the wooden cabin at the ranch, the invisible blood beast tapped the floor, probing if there was a basement beneath the cabin.

The floor under the bed resonated, drawing the attention of the invisible blood beast.

As it was about to open the secret door, a hook lock smashed through the window, grabbing hold of its abdomen. Before it could escape the hook's grasp, a violent electric current surged through.

The current was too strong, instantly stunning the invisible blood beast.

As the mastermind behind the invisible blood beast, Bai Liangfeng saw clearly who held it captive through its vision.

"It's a home defense robot. How could there be one here?"

Bai Liangfeng was utterly shocked, noticing a gold star hanging on the chest of the home defense robot.

"This is a gold-tier home defense robot; no wonder my blood beast was subdued so easily."

The invisible blood beast was only silver-tier; against a gold-tier home defense robot, it had no defense, which was normal.

From the tunnel below, a phone received an alert from the home defense robot, prompting Li Cunxu to emerge immediately.

Upon coming out, he saw something resembling a cylindrical trash can extending a pair of extendable mechanical claws, firmly restraining an invisible creature.

The unremarkable cylinder was the home defense robot.

Li Cunxu fetched some soy sauce, poured it into a bowl, mixed it into a colored liquid, and splashed it onto the invisible creature.

The invisible creature revealed its true form, a bat creature standing 1.8 meters tall. It kept struggling, and each time its struggles grew fierce, the home defense robot would send an electric shock to paralyze and release its strength.

The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter had never seen such a creature, searched online but found no results.

Li Cunxu's pupils contracted; he recognized this creature.

It's a Rimu Eclipse Bat, a blood beast nurtured by the Rimu Group, with a fixed talent of "Invisible Skin."

Why would a Rimu Eclipse Bat appear in his bedroom and even get caught by the home defense robot?

Thinking of the Rimu Group's HR manager Bai Liangfeng from the daytime.

Li Cunxu felt a chill in his heart; could it be that the Rimu Group had set their sights on him?

It was giving him a headache; the Rimu Group is the most radical among the subordinate organizations of the Blood God Sect. Being targeted by them was a real trouble!

How should this issue be resolved?

Suddenly, Li Cunxu noticed the struggling Rimu Eclipse Bat was intentionally or unintentionally looking at him.

This Rimu Eclipse Bat was likely sharing its vision.

Looking down, he saw a spoon on the waist of the Rimu Eclipse Bat, a spoon he was quite familiar with, known as the notorious eye-gouging spoon.

The eye-gouging spoon could extract eyes without damaging the eye crystals.

If a player spawned in Tongdu, there was a chance of awakening the Talent Eye, and some NPCs targeted players' Talent Eyes, using this spoon to gouge them out.

Players could resurrect, but the Talent Eye wasn't like leeks in a vegetable field, regrowing once harvested; once gouged, the Talent Eye was permanently lost.

This was why players would often commit suicide to avoid permanently losing their Talent Eye when encountering those specializing in eye-gouging.

Players who permanently lost the Talent Eye held grudges against the eye-gouging NPCs, launching fierce revenge against them later when the players grew stronger.

"Rimu Group's target is my eyes. Looks like I was too flamboyant recently, leading to this disaster."

He removed the eye-gouging spoon and eye-cultivating liquid from the Rimu Eclipse Bat's waist, then punched the Rimu Eclipse Bat's eyes twice.

If it weren't for the home defense robot at the ranch, his eyes might have truly been gouged out.

Just thinking about it infuriated Li Cunxu, prompting him to punch a few more times.

After careful consideration, Li Cunxu decided to solve this matter by reporting to the police.

However, reporting would mean losing a set of invisible clothing since the Rimu Eclipse Bat's skin was also an excellent material for making invisible clothing.

The police took away the Rimu Eclipse Bat.

Officer Lin said, "That invisible creature is a blood beast; when did you provoke the Blood Cultist?"

"I was drawn into a secret realm by the Celestial Sweeping Comet not long ago, and I haven't provoked anyone, let alone a Blood Cultist. Wait! I thought of someone, a man named Bai Liangfeng during the day; he wanted me to join the Rimu Group. This person seems suspicious."

"Suspicious? What did he do to make you think he's suspicious?"

"Instinct! My instinct tells me he's not a good person."

This explanation was acceptable to Officer Lin; the Beast Master's intuition could often be unreasonable, though intuition would not be used as evidence in court.

"We'll investigate him further."

The police contacting Bai Liangfeng wouldn't expose his identity as a Blood Cultist, as the Rimu Group had long hidden under the alliance's nose, possessing some skills.

Even if Bai Liangfeng were exposed, it wouldn't matter; he would be discarded like a pawn, and the Rimu Group would remain unaffected.

After all, it's perfectly normal for a large company to have a Blood Cultist infiltrator.

The alliance couldn't entirely prevent Blood Cultist infiltrators, let alone a small company like his.

After the police left, Li Cunxu immediately entered his bedroom and changed into clothes he had never worn before. He donned a human-skin mask, wrapped a red scarf, wore sunglasses, and put on invisible clothing. He entered the tunnel, emerging from another concealed exit leading out of the ranch.

Things weren't over yet.

The failed attempt to gouge his eyes meant the Rimu Group would launch another eye-gouging attack.

If the Rimu Group was bound to attack, why not strike first?

To retaliate against the Rimu Group, Li Cunxu alone would not be powerful enough, so he needed external assistance.

He searched the Chongpupu District for three days and nights, finally finding it beside a trash can in a small alley.

Beside a dirty, messy trash can lay a black stray dog with a white crescent on its forehead.

Li Cunxu pulled out a box of fried chicken drumsticks, pushing it in front of the stray dog, and the aroma awoke the stray dog, which started to devour it without hesitation.

After finishing the chicken drumstick, the stray dog turned happily and returned to its original spot to continue sleeping.

"Wild Howl, how much longer are you going to wallow in this condition?"

The stray dog suddenly lifted its head, its fierce eyes staring at Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu's hair stood on end, as if in front of him was not a stray dog but the Wolf King that commanded countless wolves.

After a while, the stray dog slowly spoke.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"Never mind who I am; I only want to ask if you want revenge."

"Do you know where my enemies are?"

The stray dog's eyes revealed a deep-seated hatred, baring its teeth fiercely.

"The Rimu Group's Tongdu Branch, go destroy it! It's a vital base for the Blood Cultist."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Just capture a high-ranking member of the Rimu Group, and you can verify if what I say is true."
