"Bai Qi? Is that what cosers are into these days? Not doing any anime stuff?"

The moment [Pioneer] finished mentally complaining, he suddenly frowned, feeling something was off.

Since when did he start caring about these trivial matters? And this cheeky feeling seemed familiar.

Hmm... Is it that bastard Wu Liang!?

Why is his behavior becoming more like that guy? Did he do something to him?

Before [Pioneer] could figure out what was going on with him, the door to the archives room was opened.

He instinctively activated his Fierce Ghost Ability and looked over, trying to influence the person opening the door just as he had controlled the soldiers and Awakened when entering the city.

However, this time he hit a brick wall.

"Hmph! Ignorant creature! How dare you shake my will!" Bai Qi snorted coldly, staring angrily in the direction of [Pioneer].

In an instant, [Pioneer] felt as if thousands of horses were galloping through his mind, that feeling of a soul trampled under horses' hooves made him pause, quickly retracting his Fierce Ghost Ability.

Hiss... This person is not quite right!

His soul and consciousness seem to be linked with a massive collective!

His earlier attempt to control him was akin to controlling thousands, even including several with City-Destroying Level consciousness!

If it were done gradually, [Pioneer] might have been able to control such a large number, as this was his domain after all.

But controlling so many at once was absolutely impossible for him!

"Interesting, you must be the so-called General of Qin; where did you come from? I've never seen you before," [Pioneer] asked Bai Qi with interest.

In the old world, he worked with the officials for a long time, familiar with almost all materials in the archive, especially information about City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghosts.

Yet these so-called Generals of Qin were unheard of, and they even assisted humans in fighting against the Supernatural Calamity, making [Pioneer] all the more eager to know their origin.

However, the other party lifted the Bronze Halberd with a cold face, letting out a palpable murderous intent.

"No need for words! In the Nine Netherworld, King Yama will naturally answer your questions!"

With that, the invisible yet lethal swing of the Bronze Halberd slashed over, fierce as when it beheaded City-annihilating Ghosts outside the Terracotta Warriors Museum.

[Pioneer], just like Wu Liang and Director Long back then, couldn't perceive what power was at play in this move.

But the hint of deadly alertness in his heart was enough for a response.

The brocade pouch at his waist quietly opened, and a shield-like object fell out to shield [Pioneer], who twist his wrist wearing the Jade Bracelet and walked towards the wall.

In the next moment, [Pioneer] passed straight through the wall and found himself outside the room.

He heard the crisp shattering sound of the shield-like object and remarked with a bit of surprise, "Oh? This is beyond the usual damage for a City-Destroying Level, huh? Even Wu Liang might take two or three strikes to break the shield."

Seeing this, Bai Qi charged out from the archives room.

With the Bronze Halberd in hand, he lunged forward again, his speed creating a fleeting shadow in the air, and in an instant, he was in front of [Pioneer].

The blow that had shattered the shield made [Pioneer] wary of the figure in front of him, so he took out another Supernatural Object from the brocade pouch.

It was an object resembling a glass bottle, with an ominous gray-black substance flowing on its surface.

He pointed the mouth of the bottle in the direction of the Bronze Halberd, standing his ground without dodging.

Immediately, Bai Qi frowned, suddenly releasing the Bronze Halberd and throwing it like a long spear, retreating a dozen meters rapidly.

The thrown Bronze Halberd began to shrink continuously until it turned into a toy-model-like toothpick, falling directly into the glass bottle.

Click—

After capturing the Bronze Halberd, [Pioneer] capped the glass bottle, observing the "toothpick" within and joked, "Quick on the draw, originally wanted to take you in too, but having this seems enough."

This glass bottle was identical to the one he used to seal the last Prince of Fierce Ghosts, Triton, in the Lost Realm.

A custom-made Supernatural Object for sealing various abilities, even after so many years of refining by [Pioneer], he only had a few.

If not for the General of Qin being extremely peculiar, he wouldn't have bothered to take this out attempting to include him.

With that, [Pioneer] looked around.

Bai Qi's earlier attacks had already alarmed the entire official branch, and Official Awakened were converging cautiously.

Although currently, it wasn't enough to pose a substantial threat to [Pioneer], if he wasted time with them, Wu Liang or Director Long might arrive.

Considering Director Long's spatial ability to traverse the country instantly, [Pioneer] had to consider it carefully; that support was too convenient.

So he took out a familiar chip, threw it on the ground, and crushed it with his foot.

[Unlimited Transmission Chip]!

Bai Qi, wary of the method used to capture the Bronze Halberd earlier, was now unsure how to stop someone covered in pixel-like mosaic blocks.
