Chapter 025: Bluffing

Besides that, there was also the language of the gods, which could turn the impossible into the possible, even manipulate reality and reverse causality with ease.

Making people believe what you say—this ability was actually not high-end at all.

Wang Bo could, with just a hint of suggestion, make others believe his words without a doubt.

Especially, making others believe his words was not a rare ability, but Wang Bo still had a strong interest in this Apostle.

Not only because he could contact Hades, the god of the underworld.

More importantly, he was proficient in the incantation to summon demons, and he had even spread this incantation.

Just from what Wang Bo knew, there were several.

For example, the Fox Spirit, Yellow Hair, the Knight, and the Killer definitely knew it, and the Fox Spirit had told her underlings, and for all he knew, Yellow Hair, the Knight, and the Killer had also passed it on.

Even now, Wang Bo had no idea how far the incantation had spread; heaven knew how many people this guy had passed it to.

Maybe a few thousand, maybe tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands—all possible.

And Wang Bo could vaguely guess the Apostle's purpose in doing this.

After all, he knew quite a bit about demons.

If hundreds of thousands of people simultaneously sacrificed their souls to summon demons, it would be enough to summon a demon army.

As long as this demon army entered the human world and, combined with the appropriate rituals, could open a passage between the human world and hell, then more demons could enter the human world openly.

With hell's strength, conquering Earth would be no problem at all. So in Wang Bo's view, this Apostle was very suspicious and was likely actively plotting to help hell invade the human world.

He was a very dangerous guy.

If this guy wasn't stopped soon, Wang Bo's speculation might very well become reality.

But where this guy was, not even Wang Bo knew, let alone the Fox Spirit, because since that collaboration, they had gone their separate ways.

The clues about the Apostle had naturally been cut off.

"Can you get back in touch with the Apostle?" Wang Bo asked.

The Fox Spirit Mei Yu shook her head and said, "Last time, the Apostle contacted us; we have no way to contact the Apostle."

Wang Bo sighed and asked, "Really not?"

The Fox Spirit Mei Yu shook her head.

"In that case, you're useless." Wang Bo said coldly, intending to dispose of the Fox Spirit Mei Yu. He raised his finger, and magical power gathered at his fingertip.

A powerful fluctuation spread outward.

The Fox Spirit Mei Yu suddenly felt an invisible terror, like a mountain torrent or tsunami, sweeping through her mind, almost crushing her in an instant.

She saw the magical power gathering at Wang Bo's fingertip, and every hair on her body stood on end. The shadow of death flooded her body and mind like a tide.

For a moment, she was nearly suffocated.

"Don't kill me!" She immediately fell to her knees with a thud and shouted, "I have a way! I have a way to help you find the Apostle!"

Wang Bo let out a soft exclamation and asked, "Didn't you just say you had no way?"

"I do, I do!" the Fox Spirit Mei Yu said repeatedly.

Wang Bo sneered quietly. He knew these people were all cunning; they wouldn't cry until they saw the coffin. He had only bluffed a bit, and she had caved.

Wang Bo slowly withdrew his magical power, lowered his finger, and said calmly, "Tell me your method. If you dare deceive me, I'll make you know what it means to wish you were dead."

Hearing Wang Bo's threat, the Fox Spirit Mei Yu felt her scalp tingle. She no longer dared to play any tricks and said honestly, "When the Apostle and we parted ways, he said that if he needed us again, he would contact us. As long as you spare me, I can have my informant secretly tip you off when the Apostle contacts me."

Wang Bo had thought she had some real method, but this? Make him wait?

Wang Bo stared coldly at the Fox Spirit Mei Yu. "You're not just trying to save your skin by making up this story to fool me, are you?"

"I wouldn't dare, I absolutely wouldn't dare deceive you, sir," the Fox Spirit Mei Yu quickly said.

Wang Bo sneered a few times. "Whether it's true or not, I'll find out with a check."

Wang Bo immediately took control of the Fox Spirit Mei Yu's body, cast a spell to brainwash her, peeked into her memories, and found the scenes of when Mei Yu had acted together with Yellow Hair, the Knight, the Killer, and the Apostle.

It was roughly the same as what the Fox Spirit had said, with no major discrepancies.

She had indeed received the Apostle's contact, entered Japan, participated in the theft of the Yasutsuna sword, killed several law enforcement officers, and then left safely.

Finally, the group gathered and offered the Yasutsuna sword to Hades.

Then they disbanded and went their separate ways.

But before leaving, that mysterious Apostle had indeed said those words. That meant the Fox Spirit hadn't lied to Wang Bo.

Seeing this, Wang Bo had an idea.

He decided to brainwash the Fox Spirit and turn her into his own person. Although the Fox Spirit could manipulate others' souls, her own ability was actually not high-end.

After casting the spell, Wang Bo easily controlled the Fox Spirit and turned her into his subordinate.

The Fox Spirit's gaze toward Wang Bo gradually shifted from wariness and fear to trust and adoration.

From now on, the Fox Spirit Mei Yu was one of his own.

Wang Bo instructed, "If the Apostle contacts you again, you must inform me immediately."

"Yes, my master." The Fox Spirit Mei Yu's face showed a hint of charming smile as she nodded.

This woman, who had always enjoyed manipulating others, ultimately reaped what she sowed and became someone else's puppet.

Afterward, Wang Bo left the Fox Spirit's room, found Imamura Kiyoko's soul, and slowly extracted it from the body of the Fox Spirit's subordinate.

As the saying goes, first time awkward, second time familiar. Last time when Wang Bo had done this, he had caused the other person excruciating pain, but this time it went much more smoothly. Wang Bo effortlessly extracted Imamura Kiyoko's soul.

Then he took Imamura Kiyoko's soul and returned to his villa.

By then, Nogami Saeko and Meng Bo had already brought Imamura Kiyoko's body back. Without a word, Wang Bo stuffed Imamura Kiyoko's soul back into her own body.

Imamura Kiyoko's eyelids twitched a few times, as if she wanted to open her eyes, but in the end, she fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Meng Bo couldn't help asking, "Is she okay?"

Wang Bo checked and said, "She's fine, just a bit tired. She's sleeping now. Once she wakes up, she'll be fine—a lively girl again."

Hearing this, Meng Bo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
