Lin Meilan wore a vicious expression as she ruthlessly yanked out Lu Wanqing’s oxygen tube without a second of hesitation.
Soon, the room filled with sharp beeping sounds.
The group laughed as they left. Just a few minutes later, Lu Wanqing’s arm fell limp.
Her eyes were still wide open—death with hatred unresolved.
In her final moment, Lu Wanqing thought:
Heavens! Open your eyes and look!Such a pair of adulterous dogs!
And those ungrateful white-eyed wolves—are you really going to let them continue living freely?
I hate this. I hate it so much.
I know I made many mistakes in this life, and I am willing to atone for my sins.
I only beg the heavens to make these people suffer the punishment they deserve.
Otherwise, even if I become a wandering ghost, I will drag them all down with me!
Lu Wanqing, a wielder of five elemental psychic abilities, had already planned to retire.
But she received a mission notice from the organization.
They said this would be her final task. Once completed, she would be free to retire.
After reviewing the mission, Lu Wanqing found it fairly simple—assassinate a senior leader of Fusang Nation.
Without much thought, she accepted.
The next day, upon arriving at the designated location, she sensed something was wrong.
Why did it feel like multiple pairs of eyes were watching her?
Eager to finish the mission quickly, she didn’t dwell on it.
The senior official of Fusang Nation had already been monitoring everything through surveillance.
He turned to his assistant and said:
“So this is the woman known as Poison Scorpion. Quite beautiful—who would’ve thought she was so capable? Many of our people were killed by her. Today, we finally get our revenge. She will die without a trace. There will be no escape. Her weaknesses are already known to me. No matter how powerful she is, she won’t escape my grasp.”
“Yes, Prime Minister. That is Poison Scorpion. Congratulations on eliminating your enemy. From now on, we’ll have no more worries. Once she’s dead, our operations can proceed smoothly.”
“Hahaha! Then let’s send her to hell early. Activate the lightning trap. Order our men to keep her entangled at all costs. Even if we have to sacrifice everything, she must die. Blow her to pieces.”
“Yes, Prime Minister.”
Lu Wanqing entered the manor, and suddenly a group of black-clad men appeared.
There was nothing left to misunderstand—this was a trap set specifically for her.
“Yoshi. The Prime Minister has prepared quite a beauty for us. What a pity… she’s about to die.”
Lu Wanqing sneered.
“You’re the one who’s going to die. Your whole family will die. I’ll still be living just fine even after you’ve died eight lifetimes over. If you’re going to fight, then fight. Stop wasting time.”
“Hmph! Since you’re asking for death, we’ll grant it.”
Someone pressed a switch.
In an instant, Lu Wanqing was immobilized.
A cage appeared, trapping her—along with several of the men who had spoken earlier.
The assassination target stood upstairs, looking down at her.
“Poison Scorpion, you’re nothing special after all. You fell into our trap so easily. But we still have to thank someone close to you. Without her guidance, we wouldn’t have figured out how to deal with you.”
A name flashed through Lu Wanqing’s mind.
Zhang Qinfang.
Only she knew so much about her.
So she’d grown tired of living.
The Prime Minister smiled wickedly.
“Poison Scorpion, it seems you’ve figured out who betrayed you. Then let me make it clear—so you can die knowing the truth.”
Zhang Qinfang appeared on the second floor, looking down at Lu Wanqing with the air of a victor.
“Lu Wanqing, you never expected this day, did you?
You’re finally going to die.
From now on, no one will compete with me for first place.
The organization will favor me instead.
Go to hell.
You were better than me in everything—abilities, looks, even possessing multiple psychic powers.
So if you didn’t die, who would?
Don’t blame me. You blocked everyone else’s path.
In your next life, maybe be an ordinary person.
Then you might live safely.”
Lu Wanqing laughed coldly.
“Zhang Qinfang, I knew it was you. Do you really think life will be easy after I die? Even if I die, I’ll drag someone down with me. You think you understand me? What you saw was only what I wanted you to see.”
“You’re already at death’s door. Say whatever you want. Once you’re dead, I’ll celebrate for three days and three nights. All your glory will be mine.”
Lu Wanqing quietly released poison into the air.
No one noticed.
The Prime Minister took a puff of his expensive cigarette and smiled.
“Poison Scorpion, go peacefully. After you die, I’ll burn you plenty of paper money. After all, no one will be left to stop my business.”
“Cough… cough… What’s happening? Why does it feel hard to breathe?”
A black-clad man pressed another button.
BOOM! BOOM!
Thunderous explosions shook the ground.
Lu Wanqing tried to enter her space—
But at the worst possible moment, it was upgrading.
She was expelled.
The explosion tore her apart.
In the final second before death, she saw Zhang Qinfang and the Prime Minister collapse—poisoned.
If I die, no one else lives either.
Poison Scorpion wouldn’t survive—but neither would they.
Her soul drifted in the air.
Suddenly, she saw another version of herself.
They looked identical, yet dressed completely differently.
The two stared at each other.
“Hello. Since we look the same, we must be fated. You’re stronger than me. I want you to live in my place. Please punish that scumbag man and that vicious woman. Make them pay the price they deserve. Can you do that?”
Lu Wanqing replied calmly.
“Is that all? Just making them receive proper punishment?”
“Yes. That’s all. I don’t want to die with hatred anymore. Heaven gave me a chance at rebirth—but I refused it. I’m ashamed to face my parents. Since we look the same, and even share the same name… I give this rebirth to you. Please take care of my parents. Punish the wicked. Otherwise, I won’t be at peace.”
“Deal. But you must give me full control of the body. Don’t interfere. You know my temperament. If necessary, I’d rather die together than be played.”
“…Alright.”
A villager returning from work shouted loudly:
“Come quickly! Everyone come! The Lu family’s youngest daughter pushed Educated Youth Jiang into the river—and then jumped in herself!”
Xu Mengyi froze.
Her daughter… jumped into the river?!
She dropped her hoe and ran toward the riverbank.
My daughter… my daughter…
Please, don’t do anything foolish…
