Afterlife Department

Chapter 51 - Singularity



"Let's start." Qi Shan said as he sat on the floor in a lotus position. He booked a room in a hotel at the heart of the city to have an even connection all around the city. Lei Shan stood on the side, together with Huo Ling. Meanwhile, Yi Bing stood in front of Qi Shan. "I'm ready." Qi Shan spoke as he closed his eyes.

Yi Bing just silently raised his hand and hovered it on Qi Shan's temple. "Singularity." He spoke.

Lei Shan and Huo Ling saw a bright pale blue light came out of Yi Bing's hand! The light immediately covered Qi Shan's head, then his whole body. Qi Shan immediately was beaded in sweat when he felt the pain inside his mind as Yi Bing controlled his mind.

.

Singularity – this is Yi Bing's ultimate skill, and the deadliest. This is more dangerous than Wholeness. Singularity was born from Wholeness. While the Wholeness controls the group's mind, body and soul, on the contrary, Singularity controls only one person. As for how this became the deadliest, Singularity can copy one's abilities. If only Qi Shan can remember, Yi Bing could also copy the Wings' abilities.

Ling Er's teleportation, Ling San's Creation and Destruction, Ling Shi's Contraction and Expansion, Wu Ling's Transformation, Liu Ling's Astral, Ling Ba's Flashback and Future, Ling Jiu's Sensation, and Ling Shiyi's Overseer, to name some abilities. Each ability is heaven-defying, since they were given by Shen Sheng – the one who defied the Heaven by just existing. All these, Yi Bing can copy it by using Singularity on its user. Just like Qi Shan right now – Yi Bing can copy Connection. Not only this, but Yi Bing can also combine Connection with his Wholeness. Yi Bing – he's a dreadful existence. But, the most dreadful of all is the one who gave these abilities to the Wings, and these terrifying abilities of Yi Bing – Wholeness and Singularity, which are a league on their own, is Shen Sheng. This was the reason why the Heaven can't kill him but he lived – Shen Sheng is too powerful. He can affect all the worlds – this is what they found out. His birth is unknown. Even his power is unknown.

"Ugh." Qi Shan's teeth grinded against each other as he endured the pain in his head. His brain felt like it's going to burst, and his eyeballs are about to pop out of his eye sockets. His ears are popping and his nose is twitching. His lips are also quivering.

"You – " Lei Shan said when he saw tears are quietly falling from Qi Shan's bloodshot eyes. He was about to stop Yi Bing when Yi Bing raised his other hand and made a wall of ice before Lei Shan. Lei Shan had no choice but to stop.

"You can't interrupt the process, or Qi Shan's efforts will all be gone to waste." Yi Bing told Lei Shan.

"But he's – "

"Lei…" Qi Shan called and took a deep breath to calm his trembling nerves because of the pain. He felt his body is about to be split apart. "Did… you… for –get… what I told you… before - ?" he asked, feeling his body is about to be hollowed out because Yi Bing was sucking his power. "If you want to be successful… sacrifices are to be made – " he gasped and his body fell on the floor. Yi Bing had to sidestep to avoid Qi Shan, but his hand never left Qi Shan's temple. "Haa…" Qi Shan gasped, feeling out of breath.

Lei Shan's face was filled with indignation. Meanwhile, Yi Bing's face remained emotionless. "It's done." He said.

Huo Ling was on the veranda while he waited for them to finish. Just as Yi Bing's voice fell, a green light flashed together with a blue light all over the city and enveloped it. It only happened in a flash, but to Huo Ling, that one second is the most beautiful thing he saw. Green and blue specks of light fell all over the city that cannot be seen with the naked eye. The people below in the streets aren't aware of the lights falling on top of their head. Suddenly, they all paused just like a movie in a pause. Then, they simultaneously took out their devices and connected to the internet. Their fingers tip-tapping over their screens and keyboard as they posted and commented online.

"Oh my god! The film emperor was killed?!"

"He was murdered?! Who killed him?! I'll kill him!"

"Justice for the film emperor!"

"Justice for Lei Shan!"

"How despicable they are! Have you forgotten that what was released is that Lei Shan died in a car accident?!"

"Yes, I remember! They said he was drunk! But, what is this now?!"

"Lei Shan was killed!"

"Someone must be scheming!"

"Who wants to kill Lei Shan?!"

"Does the Tianxing know this?"

"He-he. They must be the ones who did this!"

"An insider information – the CEO's son, Liang Lin, is a homosexual!"

"Ohoho? So this CEO's son fancied our film emperor?"

"Lei Shan must have rejected him. Lei Shan is straight! So he killed Lei Shan!"

"Liang Jin killed Lei Shan!"

Countless speculations were in the internet, drowning the water armies employed by the Tianxing to suppress the exposure of the truth of Lei Shan's death. Now, the tides have turned and the public are siding with Lei Shan, counterattacking the water armies that were blaming Lei Shan for being careless after driving while 'drunk'. They do not know who, but someone posted the medical certificate of Lei Shan. It was stated that Lei Shan is allergic to alcohol. It can also result to death. If this is true, then why would Lei Shan drink? To kill himself? They actually had never seen Lei Shan drinking the wine cups given to him before during the events and ceremonies. Lei Shan was just holding the wine glass in the pictures posted online. This proves Lei Shan never had drunk an alcohol. So, the report released about Lei Shan's death before is false! They all deceived them! Even the Tianxing was covering up Lei Shan's death! They could remember Tianxing acted as a witness that Lei Shan is a drunkard to prove the death report. Someone reposted this video. "Lei Shan is actually alcoholic. It's a pity he never restrained himself, resulting to his death." The Tianxing's representative said this. Tianxing Entertainment is really the best. Even their employees know how to act! The Tianxing's representative was flamed online after Lei Shan's fans who grieved when Lei Shan died searched his account and rained curses at him, even sending him death threats. It wasn't known who started it, but the Tianxing Entertainment were sent mails containing dead insects and someone even threw a stone on their building. That person was arrested, but he'll be released after a few amount of time since it wasn't that serious and that he hasn't harmed a person.

Tianxing Entertainment was boycotted. Liang Jin was cursed and Liang Lin was being thrown eggs when people saw him in the streets. The police station that handled Lei Shan's case were also dug out by the public and were mailed with same boxes sent at Tianxing Entertainment.

Everything became chaotic. The government who already was having a problem with the strange events was about to go crazy when Lei Shan's case was pushed to front and the public demanded a reinvestigation. An internet figure posted a detailed information regarding the dubious 'facts' on Lei Shan's case that the police investigated before. Now, these 'facts' were brought to light and everyone suddenly understood. We were led by our nose! We've wronged Lei Shan! We have to do our best to demand a reinvestigation on Lei Shan's case! Shut down the Tianxing Entertainment! They did not only discard their artist after exhausting all his talents, but they even had him murdered by their own hands! despicable! Bring the hammer of justice to smash the Tianxing Entertainment! Hammer down Liang Jin! Hammer down Liang Lin! They are murderers!
