80: Fallen Killer

Clear images, accompanied by strong emotional fluctuations and cognitive information, were precisely extracted and analyzed by the Alien Queen like a data stream.

In a dark secret room, a burly, grim-faced middle-aged man wearing an expensive silk Tang suit sat behind a large mahogany desk, a thick cigar clamped between his fingers.

Amidst the swirling smoke, his voice was low and oppressive.

"...The target is Lin Feng's family, especially that little brat Lin Feng. Although there's no direct evidence proving he killed Xiong Gang, he was the last person to see Xiong Gang. Whether he did it or not, Xiong Gang's death will be blamed on him!"

"Keep a close eye on him. Find an opportunity... and handle it cleanly! Be swift and leave no traces."

Gray Snake knelt respectfully below, responding in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master Xiong!"

In the corner of the image, an inconspicuous family crest—a roaring bear head—was imprinted on a document.

The scene shifted, and information from another fragment of Gray Snake's memory was extracted.

The assassin's identity was extremely sensitive!

He had long ago abandoned the faith of a professional, and in pursuit of greater power and longer life, he secretly underwent a forbidden dark ritual, becoming one of The Fallen.

Deep within his soul, a twisted, crimson mark, composed of countless tormented, wailing souls, was branded—the proof of The Fallen.

And this ritual was intricately linked to a certain secret technique and resources provided by the Xiong Family!

The Xiong Family seemed to control a hidden channel related to The Fallen, and Gray Snake was both their blade and a “product” or “collaborator” on this channel.

More fragmented images flashed by.

Gray Snake staking out different corners outside the Emerald Micro Garden community; his perspective observing Lin Feng's family's windows through binoculars; his notes recording Father Lin and Mother Lin's commuting times and Lin Feng's route home from school; and the cold killing intent that flashed in his eyes when he received the order to "act when the opportunity arises."

The target was clear: Lin Feng's family, especially Lin Feng himself, must die!

All the information was organized and refined by the Alien Queen in an extremely short time, and then, through her spiritual connection with Lin Feng, which transcended language, it was directly imprinted into Lin Feng's mind like the clearest images and texts!

"The Xiong Family..."

A sharp glint erupted in Lin Feng's eyes, like two flickering ice flames!

The middle-aged man in the Tang suit from Gray Snake's memory had touched Lin Feng's inverse scale. If the Xiong Family had only sent assassins after him, Lin Feng might have let them off.

But they actually dared to lay hands on Father Lin and Mother Lin!

This! He absolutely could not tolerate it!

A violent killing intent instantly erupted from him, the ambient air temperature plummeted, and a thin layer of white frost even condensed on the rockery!

"The Xiong Family!"

"Good!"

"Very good!"

On Lin Feng's death list, besides the Fan family, the Xiong Family's name had also been added!

The Alien Queen had completed her mission.

Her vast, abyssal spiritual power receded like a tide, instantly retracting into her body.

The suffocating pressure emanating from her also dissipated, as if it had never been there.

She nodded slightly in Lin Feng's direction, and the spatial power binding Gray Snake also vanished.

"Thud!"

Gray Snake collapsed to the ground like a completely rotten puddle of mud.

His eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, his body still twitched unconsciously, and he had already lost control of his bladder and bowels, emitting a foul odor.

His sea of consciousness had been brutally swept by the Queen's spiritual power; though not directly destroyed, it had suffered severe damage, his mind was on the verge of collapse, he had completely lost consciousness, and had become a living idiot.

He wouldn't recover his lucidity in a short time, perhaps never.

Lie Kong frowned in disgust, kicked the unresponsive Gray Snake on the ground, and looked at Lin Feng.

"Master, do you need me to dispose of him?"

Lin Feng's gaze shifted from Gray Snake to the dazzling lights in the city center, symbolizing wealth and power, where the Xiong Family's properties were located.

His eyes were utterly cold, and utterly calm.

"No need."

Lin Feng's voice was terrifyingly calm, yet it contained a chill capable of freezing souls.

"Keep his life; he's still useful. The Fallen... The Xiong Family... Very good."

He paused, every word seemingly chiseled from an ice cellar.

"Clean this place up, leave no traces."

"Take him back, find a place to lock him up, don't let him die."

"Yes, Master!"

Lie Kong immediately accepted the order.

Spatial fluctuations reappeared, enveloping the limp Gray Snake and his soiled waste, instantly vanishing without a trace, not even a scent remaining.

The corner returned to silence, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

Lin Feng stood alone in the shadows, the night wind ruffling the fringe on his forehead.

He slowly raised his hand, looked at his palm, then clenched it tightly!

His peaceful high school life, from this moment on, was completely over.

The Xiong Family... In the dead of night, all was silent, even the chirping of insects had become sparse.

Lin Feng sat up from his bed. With a thought, a deep, viscous darkness rapidly spread through the room, enveloping him entirely.

This darkness was not ordinary night; it carried a chilling, heart-palpitating aura from the abyss. Light was completely swallowed within it, and even sound seemed to be isolated.

At the core of the black mist, a tall, curvaceous, yet lethally oppressive figure slowly materialized... the Alien Queen. She was clad in a form-fitting carapace that seemed to be condensed from the purest dark energy, standing about 1.78 meters tall, with impeccable proportions, wearing a sleek, jet-black battle-armor style outfit simulated from pure energy that hugged her curves.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, yet carried a non-human coldness and majesty, like a work of art carved from ice and jade.

Her skin was bloodless, cold white, like fine porcelain.

A cascade of jet-black hair swayed silently behind her head.

Her eyes were pure, jet-black without whites, as profound as black holes, but in the deepest part of this blackness, two extremely subtle, almost imperceptible dark golden vertical pupils were hidden!

At this moment, those two dark golden points had faintly lit up, like two cold stars in the abyss.

The bony tail hidden beneath her perky glutes and coccyx gently swayed, cutting through the air with a faint hiss... She stood there silently, exuding a cold, majestic, suffocating pressure.

Without any apparent movement from her, a vast yet contained psychic field had already spread out from her center, like an invisible deep-sea undercurrent, completely masking and distorting Lin Feng's and her own presence, perfectly blending with the surrounding environment.

"Let's go."

Lin Feng's voice echoed in the black mist, terrifyingly calm.

The next second, the Alien Queen picked up Lin Feng, transforming into a flowing shadow almost imperceptible to the naked eye, gliding along the ground like a ghost out of the balcony, merging into the heavy night of the residential area.

That layer of black mist perfectly concealed their figures and auras, leaving those monitoring Lin Feng from the outside completely unaware...
