Outside Of Time

Chapter 286 Killing The Goat To Scare The Girl

With this thought in mind, Xu Qing walked toward Port 176's Black Division.

It was late at night. Due to the madness of the Intelligence Department during this period of time, everyone was in a state of panic. This also affected the business of some brothels. After all, people weren't in the mood to have fun.

The Seven Blood Eyes' rules system caused there to be… quite a lot of moles.

The Gu nurturing of Qi Condensation disciples caused them to have no sense of belonging, and the sect didn't need it as well. Everything was about benefits.

In addition, Foundation Building cultivators were allowed to grow freely. They didn't feel any psychological burden selling some information they knew for some benefits.

Of course, there was a price to pay for selling the information.

However, Xu Qing didn't care about these. He walked in the darkness and passed by many remote places, not caring about the little mute who was following behind him.

This lasted until they arrived at the Black Division.

At the entrance of the Black Division, the two disciples guarding there revealed fanaticism in their eyes the moment they saw Xu Qing. They lowered their heads and knelt.

"Greetings, Director!"

To them, the name 'Xu Qing' was already a legend.

At the start, the other party was also a member of the Homicide Department. After that, he rose all the way to the Foundation Building realm in a year, formed a life fire in a few months, and became a two fires cultivator in less than two years. He even did earth-shattering things in the Sea Corpse Race.

Just some time ago, he had suppressed the little princess of Dongyou Island. At this moment, the other party was still locked up in the Black Division's prison. All of this made Xu Qing a target for reverence for countless disciples in the Homicide Department.

Xu Qing's expression was as calm as ever. He nodded and walked past. After stepping into the Black Division, he directly arrived at the prison.

The prison of the Black Division was built underground and only had one floor.

Regardless of whether it was Qi Condensation, Foundation Building, or special cultivators, they were all imprisoned on the first floor. There were hundreds of iron bars here and a large number of array formations and restrictions.

At the same time, the harsh environment caused the smell here to be extremely unpleasant. Regardless of whether it was the smell of dirt, feces, or urine, when mixed together, it was enough to make anyone feel nauseous.

Most of the prisoners were wanted nonhuman criminals. Among them, none had been captured by Xu Qing.

This was because Xu Qing only took the heads.

Xu Qing's arrival immediately attracted the attention of these nonhuman cultivators. All of them bared their teeth. Some were grinning cheekily, some directly spat out dirty phlegm, and some whistled and assumed vulgar postures when they saw Xu Qing.

They weren't afraid of death.

Being imprisoned here with no chance to see the light of day again, they had lost fear of death. Waves of strange cries rang out from these prisoners. Xu Qing even heard the voice of the black-clothed girl in the distance.

"Xu Qing, I curse you to die a horrible death. When I get out, I'll cut your stomach open and dig out your heart and eat it!!"

Xu Qing didn't bother with the various antics of these nonhuman criminals. He turned and calmly spoke to the little mute who was standing outside.

"No matter what sounds come from inside later, don't disturb me."

The little mute immediately nodded. The other members of the Homicide Department outside also had solemn expressions.

Xu Qing didn't say anything else and closed the prison door.

As the gate closed, the clamor in the prison became even more intense.

"This is a human with a woman's appearance and a man's body? Haha, I like to play with such things. Just looking at him makes me have the urge."

"Come, come, come. Human brat, scratch my b*lls."

"Foundation Building is nothing. Kill me if you dare!"

"Senior, don't listen to them. Senior, save me. I know a huge secret."

At the same time, in the cage where the black-clothed girl was, she suddenly got up and grabbed the iron railing. No matter how her hands emitted the sizzling sound of being burned by the array formation, she didn't care.

Her eyes were filled with madness as she stared fixedly at Xu Qing in the distance and laughed sinisterly.

"Xu Qing, I cursed you 2,737,856 times!"

Xu Qing calmly swept his gaze across the surrounding cages. Finally, his gaze landed on a goat-headed cultivator who was wagging its hips at him.

This goat-headed cultivator was a member of the Night Dove and was a mutated beast with its entire body covered in black fur. He had Foundation Building cultivation base.

His cultivation base had been sealed, but his vitality was very tenacious. Noticing that Xu Qing was looking at him, Goat Head licked its lips.

"Me? Come, come, come. Choose me, choose me. Back then, I ate countless humans. I want to have a taste of a beauty like you, haha."

Xu Qing nodded and grabbed at the air. Immediately, the gate of the cage where Goat Head was located opened. A huge force swept up Goat Head and brought it straight to Xu Qing.

Finally, it was held firmly in the air. Goat Head laughed loudly with madness in its eyes. Just as it was about to speak, Xu Qing waved his hand and a cloud of medicinal powder spread out, enveloping the surroundings of Goat Head and rapidly merging into its body.

"Poison? This is nothing. I…"

Goat Head had not even finished speaking when his body started trembling but his face was still sinister.

"How comfortable!"

Xu Qing ignored it and observed carefully. When Goat Head trembled even more intensely and its seven orifices began to bleed, Xu Qing took out the little black bug's bottle and opened it to spread out a portion.

Immediately, these little black bugs entered Goat Head's body.

This pain caused the eyes of Goat Head to turn red. However, the madness on its face was still there. However, upon closer inspection, one could see deep horror hidden in the depths of its eyes.

At the next instant, its body visibly withered a little. The black bugs that had entered it flew out and were being observed by Xu Qing. As for Goat Head, it landed on the ground. Its entire body was trembling but the madness on its face was even more intense.

"That's it?"

Xu Qing turned a deaf ear and observed the little black bugs. He discovered that their auras seemed to be a little denser but only a little.

This made Xu Qing a little puzzled. According to his previous research, when the seven types of medicinal herbs were fused into the live flesh and blood, they should be able to make his little black bugs grow stronger. However, the increase now didn't meet his expectations.

"I want to see where it went wrong."

Xu Qing mumbled. He grabbed the head of Goat Head. Just as Goat Head was about to mock him, Xu Qing expressionlessly took out a dagger and slit its stomach. He then started rummaging through its organs.

A mournful cry rang out before quickly transforming into terrified screams and wails that spread in the whole prison. However, the screams quickly weakened.

As for the various voices in the surrounding cages, they stopped abruptly. Many wary gazes landed on Xu Qing as they watched him calmly studying.

A moment later, Xu Qing, who had dissected Ghost Head alive, fell into deep thought. He grabbed at the air again. The middle-aged cultivator who had spat out thick phlegm at him was grabbed.

This was a merfolk.

Its eyes revealed horror and its breathing was hurried. Just as it was about to speak, Xu Qing sprinkled medicinal powder and released the little black bugs again.

A moment later, screams rang out and the same scene appeared. Xu Qing frowned and opened the merfolk's body to inspect it.

Time slowly passed. All the nonhuman cultivators in the prison had stopped making noises. As their breathing hastened, varying degrees of horror appeared in their eyes.

They might not be afraid of death, but such an action of being dissected alive and researched was something they had never thought of. Moreover, seeing the outcome of others with their own eyes increased their fear even more.

This fear increased even more when they watched Xu Qing. He was completely immersed in his research. He would ponder, then grab some criminals and cut them up. Blood of various colors mixed together on the ground and it was pooling up fast.

In the end, some cultivators broke down mentally and hid in the corners. Their gazes toward Xu Qing were filled with incomparable fear and horror.

Even the black-clothed girl stopped cursing after Xu Qing dissected the 34th criminal. Her body trembled slightly and a trace of horror appeared in her eyes.

The night passed.

Xu Qing left early in the morning.

He had gained a lot that night and there were already more ideas in his mind. After he left, the disciples of the Homicide Department walked into the prison and their faces turned pale.

This place had really become a killing ground.

However, after they looked at each other, they didn't clean up.

This was because… these nonhuman criminals weren't worthy of their sympathy. They had killed many innocent people. Raping and plundering were common, and some of them even reared humans for meat.

The reason why they were kept alive was to use them as cannon fodders when needed.

After leaving the Homicide Department, Xu Qing immediately went to the medicinal shop and bought more herbs and poisonous grass. He then returned to the magic ship to continue his research. After midnight, he headed to the prison again.

This time around, the moment he walked in, there were no more clamoring or all kinds of disgusting actions. All the criminals instantly trembled and intense fear appeared in their eyes as they looked at Xu Qing who was walking over like an Asura.

Xu Qing's expression was calm. As he passed by many cages, his gaze finally landed on the cage beside the black-clothed girl. There was a three-eyed nonhuman cultivator with a scar on his neck.

Xu Qing looked at it in surprise. It was vaguely familiar and he recalled that it was one of the Night Dove members. However, he couldn't remember if he had cut the other party before. Amidst the nonhuman cultivator's screams, he grabbed it and scattered medicinal powder before releasing the little black bugs.

This night was the same as yesterday.

Time slowly passed and very soon, another three days passed.

Among the disciples of the Black Division, rumors of Xu Qing's terror began to circulate. As for the criminals in the prison, all of them had died, leaving only the black-clothed girl. The gaze she used to look at Xu Qing contained even more fear.

"Get the Yellow Division to send the prisoners here." Xu Qing's instructions were quickly carried out. Just like that, the scene continued to be replayed in the Black Division's dungeon.

All the nonhuman prisoners who were imprisoned started off with deranged mockery, then horror, and finally trembling in despair.

Xu Qing's research on the little black bugs became increasingly thorough. He even added corpse poison, finally causing the number and the threat of those little black bugs to increase greatly.

Often, when a wanted criminal from the nonhuman races was invaded by the little bugs, they would turn into bones in the span of a few breaths and their flesh and blood would be completely devoured.

However, Xu Qing was still not satisfied.

"It's very easy to block and guard against the devouring outside. It should be better if they were hidden like poison." Xu Qing informed the Homicide Department to bring the criminals detained by the Earth Division.

The one who suffered the greatest blow was the black-clothed girl.

Before she met Xu Qing, she didn't know what it felt like to be afraid. However, over these few days, she had seen Xu Qing's various actions. That serious expression and coldness as he searched and studied without any emotions shook her mind greatly.

When the prisoners from the Earth Division were brought over, the black-clothed girl watched as Xu Qing waved his hand and a large amount of black fog appeared around his body. Gradually, her body trembled and a rare peculiarity appeared in the depths of the fear in her eyes.

After staring at the side of Xu Qing's face, she bit her finger and stretched it out to Xu Qing. Her expression seemed to ask Xu Qing if he wanted to eat it.

Seeing that Xu Qing wasn't paying attention to her, she took her trembling hand back and placed it in her mouth before starting to suck her blood.

After a long time, she spoke with a trembling voice.

"Brother Xu Qing… Can you let me help?"
