186: Chapter 186 Who sent you?
"Come here."
Just two words caused Qing Yu to tremble all over.
She didn't dare delay for even a second; her figure flashed, and she vanished directly from the shop.
The warehouse area had long since been reduced to ruins.
Lin Fan stood where he was, holding Lin Duo.
After giving the command to Qing Yu, he withdrew his aura and reverted to the appearance of a First-Order Mage once again.
In the distance, two surviving First-Order Mages struggled to crawl up, covered in blood with their bones twisted and deformed.
They looked around, their faces etched with extreme terror.
When they looked back at Lin Fan, it was as if they were looking at a demon.
At that moment, a young girl with long black hair appeared beside Lin Fan—it was Qing Yu.
"You called me..."
Qing Yu was filled with trepidation upon seeing Lin Fan.
On her way here, she had been worried that Lin Fan was angry with her or had changed his mind, which was why he had unleashed such power.
But when she saw the unconscious, bruise-covered Lin Duo in Lin Fan's arms,
She was first shocked, and then her anger flared to the heavens.
Although she was a Demonic Beast, she had long since grown fond of the well-behaved Lin Duo.
Who was so bold as to dare lay such a cruel hand on her?
"I understand..."
Qing Yu realized the situation. If it were her, she would have gone mad too.
She wished she could tear whoever hurt Lin Duo into ten thousand pieces.
"Take her to the hospital and find a Life-element Mage for treatment."
Lin Fan was expressionless as he carefully handed Lin Duo over to Qing Yu.
At the same time, he took out an alliance card from his Spatial Ring and handed it over.
Hearing his cold, temperatureless voice, Qing Yu felt a deathly chill envelop her entire body.
She immediately took Lin Duo and the card, vanishing in an instant.
After Qing Yu left, Lin Fan finally turned his head to look at the two First-Order Mages in the distance.
Scanning the mess on the ground, he realized that the energy shockwave just now had already killed three people.
"Only you two are left? Heh, I didn't want them to die so quickly. It seems I'll have to make do with you two to make up the numbers."
Lin Fan whispered to himself, his lips unconsciously curling into a cruel grin.
Hearing these words was like hearing a sentence from the Grim Reaper.
The two men turned pale and were about to turn and run.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave; we've only just begun."
Before they could even take a step, Lin Fan's voice rang out calmly beside them.
Their bodies froze, and they stiffly turned their heads to look.
The youth stood between them, his smile casual yet radiating a bone-deep madness.
Before the two could react, Lin Fan's figure blurred, leaving behind an afterimage.
The next second.
He appeared in front of them, holding two bloody fibulas in his hands, with bits of flesh still hanging from them.
The two were dazed and confused, not knowing where he had gotten the bones or why he was staring at them with that kind of gaze.
The confusion lasted only a moment before intense pain swept through their bodies. They let out shrill screams and fell heavily to the ground.
The two looked at their legs in horror...
Their lower leg bones had been forcibly ripped out, and blood gushed from the massive wounds like a fountain.
With a smile on his face, Lin Fan toyed with the two bones in his hands as if they were drumsticks.
"What, does it hurt? Fine, if it really hurts that much, I'll just put them back for you."
He smiled brightly and slowly walked toward one of them.
He grabbed the man's injured leg and lifted it, while his other hand brought the bone close to the wound.
The two men's pupils dilated in terror as they finally understood what he was about to do.
"No... don't!"
The man whose leg was being held let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.
"Hmm? Weren't you crying and shouting that it hurts? Just put it back and it'll be fine, trust me."
Lin Fan smiled with his eyes closed and suddenly shoved the bone roughly back into the wound on the man's leg.
Puchi...
The sound of bone piercing flesh was hair-raising.
Lin Fan didn't stop there; he reached in and forcibly pressed the bone back into place. There was a constant sound of squeezing, and blood splattered everywhere.
The man's throat was nearly torn from screaming, and he wanted nothing more than to pass out to escape the torture.
The other First-Order Mage was scared witless, as quiet as a cicada in winter, fearing that this demon would come for him next.
"There, fixed it."
Lin Fan stood up and clapped his hands, but the man continued to scream incessantly.
"Seriously, is that better? If not, should I pull it out again? That works too, as long as you're happy."
His smile remained undiminished as he knelt on one knee again and grabbed the man's leg.
"No... please stop!"
The man's face was covered in tears, but Lin Fan acted as if he hadn't heard.
He reached into the wound and violently pulled the bone out once more.
"Okay, it's out. Screaming in pain again? Can't you be a bit more consistent? What do you actually want? Fine, I'll put it back in."
"Still not enough? How about here?"
"Oh dear, so much blood. I'll have to stuff a few more bones in to fill it up."
"This one seems too big; let's shave it down a bit."
For ten whole minutes.
The other First-Order Mage watched helplessly as Lin Fan inflicted inhumane torture on his companion.
He had pulled out almost every bone in the man's body, either stuffing them back haphazardly or assembling them in the wrong places...
Leg bones were inserted into arms, ribs were forced into shoulders, and multiple bones were even stuffed into the space of a single one. It was like a bloody nightmare.
By the end.
That First-Order Mage was only left twitching. He had long since stopped screaming, and his eyes were hollow, yet he could still clearly feel every ounce of agony.
The ground beneath the man was soaked in blood, and a thick metallic scent filled the air.
After a long time, Lin Fan stood up and admired his "work."
Except for the spine and skull, every bone in that person's body had been swapped and rearranged; he no longer looked human.
"This is what trash should look like."
Lin Fan nodded with a smile, quite satisfied.
To wrap things up completely.
His eyes lit up with silver-white light once more as spatial Star Power condensed to form two Star Arrays.
A Spatial Vortex opened beside the bloody figure and swallowed him whole.
A few seconds later, the vortex reversed, spitting out a damp gust of air that carried the scent of blood.
Having dealt with all that.
Lin Fan deactivated the Spell and turned toward the other mage.
"Your turn. Aren't you excited?"
He was all smiles.
The First-Order Mage could barely breathe. He instinctively tried to move backward, completely forgetting that his leg bones had been removed.
What terrified him most was the smile on Lin Fan's face.
How could a child do such things and still be able to smile?
How could a child be strong to such an extent?
"No... please, let me go..."
The mage broke down completely, his face covered in tears.
He knew he couldn't run, and there was no escaping this demon.
Lin Fan slowly approached and crouched down beside him.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few things. Who sent you to hurt my sister?"
His tone was gentle and polite.
The mage felt his scalp tingle, but he didn't dare hide anything.
"It's the Young Miss... the Su Family's Little Young Miss sent us!"
He spoke rapidly, fearing that a slow answer would result in his bones being dismantled.
Lin Fan paused, thinking for a moment.
"Is it Su Linlin's family? Did Su Linlin order you?"
"No... it's the Little Young Miss, the youngest daughter of the family."
The man shook his head frantically.
"So it's Su Linlin's younger sister, Lin Duo's classmate."
