It was a bustling sight in a small workshop. Some workers were immersing paper cartons in a huge basin of caustic soda. Others were chopping paper cartons with a kitchen cleaver. Still others were adding the chopped paper into fatty meat fillings.

It was a wicked workshop. All their meat fillings contained paper cartons immersed in caustic soda. Caustic soda was a highly corrosive chemical and very detrimental to human health. But soon, these meat fillings mixed with paper cartons would be served in restaurants on breakfast tables. Those rus.h.i.+ng to work or school would not know what they had eaten.

“Hurry, don't take your own sweet time!” A middle-aged woman was shouting in the workshop. “Soon, customers will be here to collect the goods. If we can't provide them on time, I will dock your pay.”

The workers in the workshop sped up.

Beep, beep…

The middle-aged woman sat in the corner of an office desk. There was a display on her work table, showing a few monitored images. While she was sitting down, an electric motorbike entered the alley. Its rider was a young man, with a woman behind him. The woman was dressed in patient clothes and looked sickly.

The middle-aged woman retracted her eyes and complained, “Still roaming the streets after midnight. Must be some pauper who can't afford hospital bills.” Then, her lips cracked a smile. “Another few months and I will have enough for a house. I can sell it once its value appreciates…”

Bang!

The door of the workshop was suddenly rammed open. An electric motorbike dashed directly in.

“What are you doing?” The middle-aged woman who was dreaming of a house in Beidu was angry and shocked. She shot up from her chair and grabbed a baseball bat resting against the wall, das.h.i.+ng up.

This electric motorbike was of course G.o.d's Will. The people on it were Ning Tao and Jiang Hao. They had appeared on the display, but the owner of this workshop had not expected the motorbike to barge in and break her door.

Before the female owner could say anything, the workers cutting the paper cartons all raised their cleavers and rushed out in support of their female boss.

Ning Tao dismounted G.o.d's Will and held Jiang Hao's hand to help her down. “Remember what I told you. Just give them a few casual hits.”

Jiang Hao nodded and went past Ning Tao. She faced the workers das.h.i.+ng towards her, as well as the seemingly insane female boss.

A dozen minutes ago.

“What?” Jiang Hao looked in surprise at Ning Tao, her head shaking vigorously. “No way, no way. I won't do it!”

Ning Tao grabbed her hand. “You need at least two demerit points. Slash me with a knife, and you will earn three sin of evil intention demerit points. Then I can write you a sin of evil intention prescription pact.”

“I said no! Absolutely not!” Jiang Hao was adamant. She did not even give it a thought.

Ning Tao was upset. “Can you be reasonable?”

Jiang Hao did not budge. “What kind of a logic is this? How can a doctor force his patient to stab him? You will end up with only a scar, but I will be remorseful for life!”

Ning Tao's head ached at this. “Then what?”

“If I have to stab someone, I will go on the streets.” With these words, Jiang Hao got up from the steps. She looked as if she would really go on the streets and stab someone.

Ning Tao frantically pulled her back. His mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He said, “If you must do evil, let's not harm innocent people. We must find some people deserving punishment.”

“It's already so late. Where can we find people deserving punishment?”

“I don't know either. But I have my way to locate them,” Ning Tao said.

One dozen minutes later, Ning Tao and Jiang Hao appeared at the detestable workshop. He had not known this place before. He had merely summoned the state of smelling in his nose and detected the odor of caustic soda, paper cartons, wheat flour, pork and MSG. There were whiffs of evil energy lingering around this workshop. All these a.s.sured him that this was the right place.

“Who are you?” The female owner brutally brandished her baseball bat. “Who allowed you to come in? Tell me quickly, or I bash you dead!”

“I'm here to do malice,” Jiang Hao said. Her voice sounded feeble and limp.

This gaunt woman was facing a group of burly men armed with kitchen cleavers, as well as a female boss like a tigress. The scene seemed a little disproportionate.

“d.a.m.n you! Where did this mad woman come from? Bash her!” The female boss then added, “Bash that man with her as well!”

The group of burly men all surged forward.

Jiang Hao suddenly moved. She kicked a foot at the first worker hurling himself at her. That worker was at least 100 kilograms. Her casual kick sent him into the air, overturning a few dozen steamers with buns.

The entire atmosphere instantly froze.

It only took a split second. The female boss found her steamed buns all scattered on the floor and gave a piercing scream. She flourished the baseball bat and bashed down on Jiang Hao's head.

Jiang Hao stretched out her hand and grabbed the baseball bat. She punched the female boss's nose.

Crack!

A grating noise of bones cracking resounded the moment Jiang Hao's fist landed. The female boss's nose went askew, bleeding ceaselessly. She lay supine on the floor, curled up like a worm, her mouth uttering painful moans.

Ning Tao was all this while observing Jiang Hao's abilities as a new demon. He did not know whether Jiang Hao could change her face quickly like Lin Qinghua. But he could tell that Jiang Hao's powers had increased after turning into a new demon.

“Is her new ability as a new demon that of increased strength? It seems quite ordinary compared to Lin Qinghua's ability to change his face,” Ning Tao thought.

Just at this moment, a green light flashed across Jiang Hao's eyes. She bent down to pick up a cleaver on the floor, walking to the female boss.

There was actually a group of burly men behind the female boss, but none of them dared to go up and attack Jiang Hao. A man with a beard who looked very valiant suddenly yelled, “Murder— save us!”

Jiang Hao suddenly grabbed the female boss's hair. lifting her head up. She slashed the cleaver across her face.

Ning Tao did not stop her. He did not even care if Jiang Hao killed the female boss. This woman had abandoned the most basic morality and humanity for money. Even if she did not deserve death, she would be a scourge if kept alive. The money she was earning against her conscience would make people fall ill and suffer. It might even cause families to break up!

Blood spurted out. The female boss squealed like a pig, “Don't… don't kill me… Murder…”

Jiang Hao retracted her cleaver. She had slashed the female owner's face. The female boss had a large round face. With a crisscross scar on her face, her look would be completely ruined.

The workers turned around and fled.

This detestable workshop had a back door to forestall the Health Bureau's spot checks. The door opened, and the workers all fled in a few seconds.

Jiang Hao released the female boss's hair. She turned to look at Ning Tao. “Did I do enough?”

Ning Tao walked over with the ledger of bamboo slips. He pressed it against Jiang Hao's face, removing it a few seconds later. He unfurled it and read. Indeed, the ledger of bamboo slips gave Jiang Hao an additional sin of evil intention for harming someone maliciously. It cost her three demerit points. Subtracting it from her leftover merit of good intention, she had now two demerit points. The treatment would be a sin of evil intention prescription pact.

Jiang Hao also drew near to read.

Ning Tao said, “That's enough. Let's go. I will treat you once we reach home.”

Jiang Hao said, “There's a surveillance camera here. Let me delete the files in her hard drive. Wait a while for me.” She picked up the baseball bat from the floor and walked towards the office desk in the room corner.

Ning Tao's heart told himself, “She is indeed an elite agent. She has thought of something that even I didn't. Even if she has no other abilities, she would be a capable wife.”

The moment he thought of “capable wife”, the image of another woman surfaced in his mind.

That woman was Qing Zhui.

“Even now, she has not asked me about Qing Zhui… but soon, she will meet her… Would they…” The moment he visualized their meeting, Ning Tao felt a big headache coming. His mind immediately bloated.

The female owner curled up on the floor recovered some courage and strength. She suddenly clambered up from the floor and hurled herself at Jiang Hao. “I will kill you!”

Jiang Hao did not even turn back. She gave her a back kick.

Thump!

A dull thud. The female boss instantly flew to several meters away. She crashed heavily on the floor. This time, she had turned completely still, lying motionless on the floor like a dead dog.

Jiang Hao activated the computer and soon discovered a problem. “No wonder she isn't afraid of death. This hard disk holds her accounts. She has earned a few million.”

Ning Tao glanced unconsciously at the white buns scattered on the floor. He said, visibly moved, “How many of such wicked buns must she sell to earn this much money? How many sins of evil intention has this woman acc.u.mulated?”

“I will format her hard disk so she can't collect her debts,” Jiang Hao said.

Ning Tao suddenly remembered something. “Wait. Let me see how many sins of evil intention she had acc.u.mulated on her body.”

Jiang Hao a.s.sented and stopped her operation.

Ning Tao came to that female boss, and made a diagnosis with the ledger of bamboo slips.

Information appeared on the ledger of bamboo slips, “Cai Shufen, born 1971. A person of no virtue or goodness. Her first sin: being unfilial to her parents, worth 10 demerit points. Her second sin: being a wicked businesswoman who added poison to harm 3,617 people, worth 1,836 demerit points… Write her a sin of evil intention prescription pact. Her punishment: death to atone for her sins.”

Ning Tao was dumbstruck by this diagnosis. His heart felt a wave of agitation. He had brought Jiang Hao out tonight to do malice, but they had accidentally run into this new continent of depravity!

There were plenty of people making counterfeits in this country. Those with some conscience would only subst.i.tute inferior materials for premium ones. At least they would not do anyone harm. But those without conscience would subst.i.tute chemicals as ingredients. They might even process oil from drains and resell it fearlessly to commoners. These people were even more detestable than loan sharks. Loan sharks would only bait the willing. These business people without conscience would not even let off the elderly, children or pregnant women!

“Hahaha…” Ning Tao could not help bursting out into laughter.

Jiang Hao was surprised. “What are you laughing at?”

“Your physiognomy really prosper your husband.” Ning Tao looked at Jiang Hao, his face wreathed in smiles.

Although baffled, Jiang Hao blushed. She liked what she had heard, but still complained, “Have you gone crazy? When did I ever prosper you?”

She seemed to have not detected anything wrong in her words.

Ning Tao replied with a smile, “Right now. You are prospering me right now. This woman has acc.u.mulated more than 1,800 sin of evil intention demerit points. This gives me a hefty rental fee.”

“What should I do now?” Jiang Hao still could not quite understand Ning Tao's method.

Ning Tao thought for a while. “Take her hard disk away. These workers have seen us. They will cause trouble if we strike tonight. With her hard disk in hand, she will come looking for us. What's more, you're the most important person tonight. I won't earn any amount of treatment fee tonight but yours.”

Jiang Hao rolled her greenish eyes at Ning Tao. But she could not hide the smile on her lips.

Cai Shufen was still lying on the floor, as motionless as a dead dog.
