God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

Wen Shu didn't understand what Qin Siyang meant, but she still nodded.

Qin Siyang nodded, stopped walking, and turned around, pushing Wen Shu to the side.

A few seconds later, five or six burly men carrying knives and clubs followed them.

The man in the lead had a small braid and smirked at Qin Siyang,"Run? Why aren't you running now? Weren't you pretty good at running?"

Qin Siyang scoffed,"I've arrived at the right place. Why should I keep running?"

"The right place? What place?"

The group of men looked around and realized they were in an abandoned courtyard. The wooden houses and pigsties had long collapsed, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

Inside the yard, aside from a weathered stone mill, there was also an old stone well of unknown depth.

It was clear that no one had lived here for at least five or six years.

Looking more closely at the dust on the ground and the spiderwebs at the entrance, they could tell that not only had no one lived here, but no one had even visited.

Perhaps this rural house had been abandoned before the apocalypse, or maybe the owners had fled elsewhere afterward.

The entire courtyard was pitch black, with only the faint glow of the anti-air glass above casting dim starlight, barely illuminating the surroundings.

Qin Siyang had carefully observed the environment while running and had deliberately chosen this location.

The braided man asked,"What's wrong with this place?"

"Before I answer your question, let me ask first—you're Li Jingwen's uncle, right?"

The braided man sneered,"That's right, it's me. Jingwen and Zhou Yang's relationship is our family's hope. There's no way we'd let a punk like you ruin it."

"You lied to Jingwen, saying you had set a delayed email for one week. But my brothers and I took turns waiting at the internet cafés nearby for a whole week, and we never saw you once."

"Oh, I thought internet cafés were too expensive, so when I went there, I changed my mind and set the email to send in a month. If you kill me now, a month later, Zhou Yang will know everything about Li Jingwen and me. Your family's dream of rising up will still be crushed."

"What? A month? Are you messing with me?"

Qin Siyang smiled faintly,"Believe it or not."

The men who had followed him were completely stunned.

They hadn't expected Qin Siyang to change his mind after going to the internet café and push back the email's send time.

Wen Shu, on the other hand, looked at Qin Siyang in confusion, not understanding what he was trying to do.

The braided man said,"Cancel the email, and we'll pretend none of this ever happened."

"You think I'm stupid? If I cancel it, wouldn't you still come after us?"

"Then what do you want?"

At this moment, one of the men beside the braided man spoke up,"Brother Long, just tie him up and force him to tell us his email and password. We can cancel the email ourselves."

The braided man's eyes flickered with hesitation,"Are you confident you can get it out of him?"

"I used to collect debts. I've done this plenty of times."

"Don't give me that crap! This is a serious matter for our family. If you fail, I won't forgive you."

"Brother Long, that's not fair. Nothing in this world is guaranteed. If you don't trust me, fine, figure it out yourself."

Seeing them hesitate, Qin Siyang decided he had waited long enough.

"Alright, I won't mess with you anymore. Actually, you're right. I never set a delayed email in the first place. If you kill me, Li Jingwen and Zhou Yang's secret will be safe."

"What?"

The men looked completely shocked, unable to understand why Qin Siyang would willingly push himself into a death trap.

"Brother Long, this kid wants to die. Let's grant his wish!"

"Yeah! Kill him first. As for the chick beside him, let's have our fun before finishing her off."

The braided man still seemed uneasy,"This brat isn't trying to take us all down with him, is he? Maybe he really did set up the email but knows he can't escape, so he just wants to die quickly."

"That's possible…"

"Brother Long, you might be right. But this is your family's business, so it's up to you to decide."

The group hesitated again.

Qin Siyang was getting impatient. People believe lies so easily, but when he tells the truth, no one believes him. Ridiculous.

"I'm not lying. There's no email. I really didn't set one up."

"Yeah, right! Tie him up and force it out of him. Whoever gets his email and password, I'll give them a thousand copper coins."

The braided man gritted his teeth, deciding to go all in to ensure they got access to Qin Siyang's account.

"Alright! Brother Long, that's generous."

"Brother Long, you better keep your word."

"I really didn't set up the email. If I had, I wouldn't have led you all here."

The braided man frowned,"You keep talking about this place. But you still haven't explained it. I think you're just trying to scare me."

Qin Siyang shook his head and said seriously,"I'm not lying. This place is… special."

The men grew wary, scanning their surroundings again, but they didn't notice anything unusual.

The braided man pressed,"What's so special about it?"

"It's the perfect place to kill."

The group was stunned for a moment before breaking into mocking laughter.

"You're not serious, are you?"

"This is the first time I've seen someone pick their own grave."

"What an idiot! No wonder he dared to mess with our Jingwen!"

But just as they were about to make a move, Qin Siyang's figure suddenly blurred.

"What?"

BANG—

Qin Siyang flew forward and kicked one of the men square in the chest.

No one even saw what happened—one moment Qin Siyang was standing there, the next he was beside them, and then one of their own was flying through the air.

The others turned their heads in panic.

The man who had been kicked had a deflated chest, as if all the air had been squeezed out of him.

His eyes bulged, his mouth opened and twitched as if trying to speak, but all that came out was a mouthful of blood. Then, his head tilted to the side.

Dead.

Even in death, his face was frozen in shock and terror.

The darkness blurred his features, making the scene even more eerie and unsettling.

Seeing their fallen companion, the others finally realized—

Qin Siyang was a Sequence Ability User.
