Yuan Shan was on the brink of death, yet instinctively crawled towards Wei Changhe, wanting to buy herself a chance to live. The black and red bloodstains left behind trails like tadpoles, gruesome and terrifying.
The next second, she lost her life, her eyes wide open, spitting blood as she stopped breathing.
Perhaps the entire scene was too shocking, it took Wei Changhe a full two minutes to react, and he nervously looked at Han Mo, saying, "Han, Dr. Han, can she, can she still be saved?"
Han Mo's eyes were calm and cold, and he shook his head faintly, "She is already dead. I am a doctor, not a god."
In fact, if the poison had been suppressed immediately upon its onset, there would have been a chance. However... he didn't want to save her. Because even if he had detoxified her, he couldn't have saved her perverted and dirty heart. It was better for her to disappear like this than to pollute the world.
He was never as kind as Bai Xi, wanting to help everyone, to save all beings, to uphold justice and aid the weak, helping those in need. What he wanted... was just her!
The times he had saved people in front of her, appearing to have impeccable medical ethics, were all just to gain her favor. He was willing to love this world for her, but he didn't truly love this world.
Wei Changhe looked at the deceased Yuan Shan, her pained and contorted expression, and couldn't help but feel a chill.
He himself had also been poisoned by the leader of the Kui Hall and saved by Han Mo. If he had been poisoned with this kind of toxin, Han Mo would likely not have had time to save him.
In reality, he hadn't grasped the key point of the matter.
The point was, did Han Mo even want to save her!
Bai Xi looked at Han Mo and said, "What kind of poison is this? How could it accurately ensure the time of Yuan Shan's poisoning?"
Yuan Shan was not a member of the Kui Hall, so she did not have a chip behind her neck. Moreover, her thoughts were extreme, selfish, and self-serving. Even if the leader of the Kui Hall wanted to use her, he would absolutely not let her live in this world. It was perfectly normal for him to want her dead.
However, the timing of this death was so coincidental that it made her feel a sense of unease.
Han Mo said faintly, "This poison is called the Hell King of the Underworld. It is almost instantly fatal upon contact with blood. It acts very quickly, and one will be poisoned the moment the poison touches the blood. Usually, death occurs within two minutes."
Bai Xi frowned, "Instantly fatal upon contact with blood, meaning after being poisoned, she would immediately have an attack and die?"
Han Mo nodded.
Bai Xi looked around, "Then how did the leader of the Kui Hall poison her?"
Han Mo said faintly, "Xi'er, do you still remember what happened in Shangyang before?"
He then took out a pair of rubber gloves from his pocket and walked to Yuan Shan's side, beginning to examine her. Finally, his gaze locked onto the brooch on her chest.
He removed the brooch, and it was clearly visible that a long spike extended from it, the tip stained with black blood.
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing was given to her by the leader of the Kui Hall when they were cooperating, and she was told to wear it when she acted. At first glance, it's just a beautiful brooch, but in reality, it's similar to a chip, a deadly weapon.
Wei Changhe, unaware of what happened in Shangyang, was somewhat confused. "Dr. Han, what exactly does this mean?"
Bai Xi's eyes gradually grew cold, but with a hint of clarity, she said, "The leader of the Kui Hall installs voice-controlled chips on the people in the Kui Hall. As long as a specific phrase is spoken, the program within the chip will be activated, causing the person to die quickly. Yuan Shan was not a member of the Kui Hall and had no time to implant a chip in her body, so the leader of the Kui Hall used this thing to silence her. As long as someone present spoke the corresponding words, it would be equivalent to activating this mechanism."
Wei Changhe was greatly surprised, "Could it be that there was a lapse among us, that we said something that caused the mechanism to open and silence Yuan Shan?"
Bai Xi glanced faintly at Wei Changhe, "Before Yuan Shan died, she only spoke to the two of us."
Wei Changhe froze, "No, no, no, Zhan... Classmate Bai, don't look at me like that, I'm not a mole!"
The captain of the security team looked at Wei Changhe explaining to Bai Xi, saying he wasn't a mole, and found it very strange.
The principal of all people, explaining so earnestly to a student, trying to prove his innocence? Was that right? The principal of Black Gold Academy, a powerful figure whom they respected immensely, was acting so timid in front of a student, was that proper?
Bai Xi's eyes looked at Wei Changhe faintly, "Principal Wei says it wasn't you, so does Principal Wei mean it was me?"
This time, Wei Changhe was even more terrified, "No, no, no, I absolutely didn't mean that. How could it be you! It absolutely couldn't be you!"
Bai Xi: "But, only the two of us spoke to her just now. If it wasn't me, and it wasn't you, then who could it be?"
Wei Changhe was stunned for a moment, utterly confused by the question. After a long while, he extended a finger and began to point randomly, not knowing where to stop, "Not you, not me, then it's..."
Seeing Wei Changhe's aimless finger, the security team members felt a sense of personal danger.
If his finger happened to stop on one of them for no reason, wouldn't they become the mole? No, no!
Han Mo said to Bai Xi with a face full of pampering, "Alright Xi'er, stop teasing Principal Wei, or Principal Wei will get angry."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at Wei Changhe, "Will Principal Wei get angry?"
Only then did Wei Changhe realize that Bai Xi was just joking with him.
And this joke had made him break out in a cold sweat.
Alas, ordinary people truly couldn't afford the humor of the God of War.
Wei Changhe reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiling, "No, no, how could I be angry."
Han Mo smiled slightly, his eyes full of tolerance and pampering as he looked at Bai Xi, "Please forgive me, Principal Wei, Xi'er is just being childish like this."
Wei Changhe: "..."
Childish? The only one who dared to describe the God of War with this adjective was the God of War's little husband.
"Hehehe, hehehe, hehehe... It's okay, it's okay, Classmate Bai is truly mischievous."
Han Mo looked at the brooch in his hand, his eyes turning cold again, saying, "Failure, failure, failure!"
As he said the third "failure," the spike on the brooch seemed to sense something and retracted back into the brooch. This indicated that the true way to activate the brooch's switch was the three instances of "failure."
Counting the previous conversations Yuan Shan had, it was exactly three instances of failure. Therefore, the person who truly activated the brooch was none other than Yuan Shan!
Wei Changhe was slightly surprised, "The leader of the Kui Hall knew Yuan Shan would say 'three failures,' isn't that amazing?"
Bai Xi said faintly, "The leader of the Kui Hall is skilled at manipulating people's hearts; this small matter is as simple as can be."
As long as he repeatedly hinted at the word "failure" in his conversations with Yuan Shan, and told her that she must succeed, she would be unable to bear failure and would naturally mention it repeatedly. Moreover, if the leader of the Kui Hall was skilled in hypnosis, he could subtly kill people by suggesting that after failing, she should speak words related to failure, thereby killing without a trace.
This was perfectly in line with his usual modus operandi.
Wei Changhe looked at Yuan Shan, who had long since gone cold on the ground, with a trace of regret in his heart, "She was clearly very smart, she had clearly changed her fate, why was she so unable to think things through?"
Bai Xi said faintly, "People's hearts are the most difficult things in this world to fathom and explain clearly. If everyone could think things through, there wouldn't be so much crime. All we can do is make every criminal pay the price for what they have done."
Yuan Shan was merely a pawn; the one who truly deserved to pay the price for this matter was the leader of the Kui Hall!
Yuan Shan was dead, and the anniversary celebration of Black Gold Academy came to a close on this day.
The night quietly descended. As everyone fell asleep, a figure stood atop the tallest building of Black Gold Academy, overlooking the campus lit by scattered lights.
The man was very pale, almost sickly. His pair of narrow eyes were heterochromatic. His left eye was blue, and his right eye was yellow. He squinted slightly, exuding an extreme aura of possessiveness, with a faint purplish hue to his lips. "As expected of the woman I fancy, remarkably perceptive. And she resolved my plan so silently. However, have you truly seen through my entire plan?"
After speaking, he drained the glass of red wine in his hand. The wine glass was slowly cast down, falling to the ground below, symbolizing the beginning of the shattered night sky after the tranquility. "Everything has just begun!"
