All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 149: The Hidden Mastermind

Dozens of bullets poured onto Su Xin's body, turning it into a sieve.

These bullets seemed to each serve a purpose.

Some were regular bullets, leaving blood holes on Su Xin's body, but since his whole body was frozen, not a drop of blood flowed out.

Other bullets burrowed into Su Xin's body then quickly exploded, releasing numerous grain-sized micro locators that automatically spread into every corner of his body.

Still other bullets, upon entering his body, exploded at the next instant, shooting out threads of unknown material that quickly wrapped around Su Xin's body, binding him tightly.

It wasn't until Su Xin's entire body was covered in threads, almost unrecognizable, that these special bullets stopped being fired.

The reason for using ordinary bullets was to continuously kill Su Xin, so that even if he resurrected, he wouldn't have the chance to instantly teleport away.

"Quickly, take him away!"

A burly man, fully armed and wearing a dark green headscarf that covered his entire face, ordered.

However.

Just as he finished speaking, he was shocked to find that Su Xin, bound tightly in threads, had suddenly vanished.

"Be careful! He escaped!"

"Quick, report the location!"

The burly man exclaimed repeatedly in shock.

What's more unbelievable were the replies coming through his earpiece:

"Target is gone!"

"How is that possible? With so many locators inside him, how could he just disappear?"

But the thought barely formed in the burly man's mind before he had time to think it through; he was preparing to order the squad's retreat.

He knew that if Su Xin broke free, they wouldn't stand a chance against him. Their escape from Su Xin's pursuit would be extremely slim.

Unfortunately, before he had the chance to give the retreat order, he heard muffled explosions by his ear, and a warm liquid sprayed all over him.

The burly man's heart turned cold instantly.

He recalled the so-called small locators that the higher-ups had implanted in their bodies before the operation; he had felt something was off, but he didn't dare question the orders and had accepted the implant obediently.

Now it seemed that what they had inside them wasn't locators at all, but mini remote-controlled bombs.

If the mission failed, they would be discarded, probably to prevent Su Xin from interrogating them about their identities and origins.

Once they died and those providing remote support withdrew into the shadows, even if Su Xin wanted revenge, he wouldn't find a target.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and the mini remote-controlled bomb within him exploded with a roar, tearing his large body into countless irregular pieces.

The once luxurious hotel suite was now in ruins, with flesh scattered everywhere, staining everything from the floor to the walls and the ceiling in a crimson hue.

Screams and cries occasionally sounded from other floors and rooms.

...

In fact, Su Xin hadn't instantly teleported away but had instead entered a stealth state after keeping his eyes closed for more than three seconds.

With the help of the Seamless Interaction trait, he seemed to possess the phasing ability from an anime from his past life, able to traverse any material by changing his own traits.

Mere threads were insignificant obstacles.

Revived from death, he had regained consciousness but hadn't opened his eyes yet.

He sensed that there were many things inside his body; although he wasn't clear on what they were, they certainly weren't good.

Su Xin materialized a fruit knife and slit his own throat; upon resurrection, anomalies were automatically resolved, and he felt the things inside him had completely disappeared.

Maintaining his stealth state, Su Xin used the Super Sensing Sketching trait to observe a ten-meter radius, spotting the scattered body fragments and the two dead agents outside the room.

Jiang Xue, whom he had intended to spare, was now nothing more than a pile of crushed ice.

Su Xin felt no sentimentality, but regretted losing someone whose abilities entertained him.

Also, he felt some anger.

"I almost underestimated them."

"These guys were indeed not as simple. They acted all respectful and obedient to my face but arranged an ambush secretly."

"Who exactly are they?"

"The Nirvana Association? Yonghui Financial Group? The Celestial Kingdom?"

"Or was it some other force?"

Su Xin pondered.

"Jiang Xue was a member of the Nirvana Association. Logically, only the Nirvana Association could have pre-installed remote bombs in her body."

"But then someone attacked me seamlessly; surely, the Celestial Kingdom should have had people around to prevent the Nirvana Association from doing this?"

"Could it be someone attacked me to incriminate the Nirvana Association? If they failed, they could use me against the Nirvana Association?"

"Or did someone deliberately attack me on the Celestial Kingdom's turf, hoping I'd blame the Celestial Kingdom?"

Su Xin pondered for a while and suddenly remembered that the Other-Transformation Superpower could help him directly identify the target's identity. So he appeared, picking up some small items amidst the ruins.

However.

Ten minutes later, he hadn't obtained any information about the attacker or Jiang Xue.

The Other-Transformation Superpower didn't trigger.

"The belongings of the dead don't count?"

Su Xin frowned. He hadn't used this feature much and actually wasn't aware of this.

Now that he thinks about it, perhaps it's because the dead's belongings are considered ownerless items, so the concept of the original owner doesn't exist. Or maybe since the original owner is dead, they essentially don't exist anymore, hence the Other-Transformation Superpower can't be triggered.

At this moment, Su Xin's ears twitched, hearing hurried footsteps coming from outside.

After some thought, he closed his eyes.

Shortly, when a group of firefighters and police officers arrived on the scene, Su Xin had already entered Stealth State in advance.

The police set up a perimeter around the area.

Zhan Shijie also arrived on the scene.

Gazing at the ruins inside the house, along with the corpses of two agents, and listening to his subordinates' reports, his face turned grim.

"How could someone infiltrate here with so many weapons without you noticing anything? What have you all been doing?"

He scolded his subordinates, pulling in the nearby police captain into the berating.

Then, Zhan Shijie stepped aside to make a phone call, briefly reporting the incident and solemnly promising over the phone:

"Mr. President, rest assured, I will investigate this matter quickly. I will give Su Xin a satisfactory answer and provide an answer to the public."

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Shijie returned to the scene to personally supervise his men in searching for clues. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Su Xin used Super Sensing Sketching to observe his reactions but didn't notice anything unusual.

So he straightforwardly appeared not far from him.

Su Xin's sudden appearance startled many people at the scene, but it was Zhan Shijie who first regained composure, bowing slightly to Su Xin:

"Mr. Su, I'm truly sorry for what happened today. I will find the perpetrator as soon as possible."

Su Xin sneered:

"Investigate? What's there to investigate? On your turf, someone can bypass your surveillance and orchestrate such an action?"

Zhan Shijie quickly explained, "Mr. Su, this incident is definitely not orchestrated by our Celestial Kingdom. We have no conflicts with you, and all terms have been agreed upon, so there's no need for such actions."

"No conflicts? The demands I've made, even my mere existence, challenge your order. How can there be no conflict?"

"Mr. Su, we truly have no..."

Su Xin waved his hand, directly interrupting him, saying coldly:

"Words don't prove anything. You better provide me with evidence quickly, or I'll consider all of you my enemies—whether it's your Celestial Kingdom, Yonghui Financial Group, or Nirvana Association. I can't discern who did this, nor do I want to be used by any side. So I'll just consider it a joint endeavor by you three."

Zhan Shijie's face underwent a series of changes, but faced with Su Xin's strong stance, he didn't dare continue protesting, only softly explaining:

"Mr. Su, this matter clearly involves deliberate framing to incite you, heighten our conflicts, and pit us against each other."

"If Mr. Su truly opposes us, you'd fall for the schemer's trick—letting the schemer remain free while becoming a tool for them."

"Mr. Su, please don't act impulsively. I assure you that I will find the true culprit as soon as possible, and give Mr. Su a satisfying resolution. We'll work together to eliminate the schemer."

Su Xin's face was expressionless:

"I don't want to become anyone's tool, nor do I want to be deceived. You have at most two or three days; if you can't provide a clear result, I'll consider all of you my enemies."

"In short, I can't uncover the schemer myself, so I'm granting you time. If you can't provide me with an accurate target, all of you are my targets."

With that, Su Xin disappeared with Instant Teleportation.

Leaving Zhan Shijie standing there, his face uncertain.

...

Two minutes later.

Su Xin appeared at the top floor of the Yonghui Building.

Currently, under the command of the newly appointed CEO Deng Zhongquan, Yonghui Financial Headquarters had returned to regular operations.

Although many employees worried about Su Xin's reappearance, Deng Zhongquan announced on the company's intranet that he had successfully negotiated on behalf of the company with Su Xin, who wouldn't come back to kill anyone.

Given Yonghui Financial Group's generous benefits, plus the entire management staff being present, employees feared losing their jobs. Despite their apprehension, they had no choice but to muster the courage and report to work at the headquarters.

When Su Xin appeared on the top floor, he immediately garnered attention from some employees nearby, triggering panic and turmoil.

"Su Xin is here again!"

"Run!"

Many employees rushed toward the elevator, terrified of being killed by Su Xin.
