Pan Guming lay on the rough and hard concrete floor. He was sleeping, tortured by intense pain.

His body felt like a bulldozer had mercilessly crushed it. His entire body was in unbearable pain, especially his right leg. It was so painful that it finally went numb as if it was no longer there.

Pan Guming was awakened by this terrible thought. He suddenly sat up straight and accidentally pulled on his wound. He immediately grimaced in pain.

“Ah…” Pan Guming groaned in agony. His mind felt like it was being mercilessly stirred by a blade. It was so painful that his sight turned dark and he broke out in a cold sweat.

“You’re awake?” She Qi’s sinister voice sounded not far from him, instantly attracting his attention.

Pan Guming looked at She Qi. He suddenly remembered what had happened when he saw She Qi standing not far away. He hurriedly knelt down and said, “Thank you for saving my life, Master. I… I’m useless…”

“Pan Guming, I asked you to help me absorb the energy of other Espers because I thought highly of you. Is this how you repay me in the end? I see that you are not sincere in wanting me to resurrect your daughter. How about this? You can give up if you don’t want to do it. Let your daughter go to dust. You can forget about seeing her again.” She Qi sneered at him in disdain.

Pan Guming spasmed as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this. His body trembled violently, and he was so frightened that he almost cried out. “No, no, Lord She Qi! You promised me you would resurrect my daughter. I ate people’s hearts and drank their brains for her. I have already… I have already gathered the power of two Espers! I will continue to work hard. Please don’t give up on my daughter!”

Pan Guming had given up on his dignity. He knelt wretchedly in front of She Qi and started to kowtow. Once, twice, thrice. He used so much strength that his forehead started bleeding, but he did not dare to stop.

She Qi lowered his eyes and looked indifferently at this pitiful man who had lost his humanity and dignity for his daughter.

Pan Guming would clearly see the mockery and disdain in She Qi’s eyes if he looked up now.

It was a pity that Pan Guming never dared to look anyone in the eye. His cowardice and inferiority complex were engraved in his bones. The way he knelt on the ground was even more undignified than a stray dog.

She Qi looked down at him mockingly as if he was looking at a pitiful plaything.

However, She Qi’s voice was very gentle as he chuckled and said, “I know you’re willing to do anything for your daughter. Pan Guming, let me tell you. There’s hope for your daughter’s resurrection because you killed those two people.”

Pan Guming raised his head, a grotesque smile on his ugly face. His turbid eyes were filled with hope because of She Qi’s words. “Really? When can I see her? I, I miss her…”

“I can let you see her after you kill a few more Espers and gather more energy. Don’t worry, your daughter’s corpse is well preserved in my base. She’s waiting for her father to gather more Esper powers for her to be resurrected.” She Qi’s tone was bewitching as it echoed in Pan Guming’s ears.
