Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 602: It is an inherent virtue to cook the dog after the rabbit is dead_1

"So, when does my energy transformation begin?" Wang Linchi was no longer in his original prison but an extremely luxurious mansion. However, it was surrounded by numerous watchmen and jailers to prevent him from leaving.

His activity range was also fairly limited. Most of the time, he couldn't leave the indoors or enter blind spots, though there were no such blind spots here.

"We're arranging it," the Great Elder said. "Given our final partnership, I want to ask one last time: are you sure there's no technology you haven't shared?"

Several Heroic Spirits with lie-detection abilities stood nearby to ensure Wang Linchi wasn't lying.

"Nothing else. I've handed everything over," Wang Linchi replied without hesitation.

The group of Heroic Spirits didn't react, which meant he wasn't lying.

"I see. The transformation device will be delivered tomorrow. Do you need anything else?"

"After all, once you transform, you won't be able to enjoy the things you could before. If you need anything, you can say so now, and we will prepare it for you." The Great Elder didn't order his immediate execution even after he had confessed everything. Such matters had to be handled gracefully; there was no rush.

"I need nothing. I just want to leave as soon as possible, out of your surveillance," Wang Linchi said unhappily.

"Good. Then rest well tonight and rejuvenate yourself for tomorrow's transformation." With that, the Great Elder rose and left.

"Hmph, eager when you need me, and quick to cast me aside when you don't," Wang Linchi sneered.

The Great Elder left without looking back or arguing with Wang Linchi. In his eyes, there was no need to fuss over a dead man.

Only after leaving the mansion did the Great Elder say, "Prepare the last meal for Elder Wang. Let him depart peacefully."

"Yes, Great Elder." This order was immediately passed down, and the mansion's chefs began their preparations.

The last meal was bound to be lavish.

The idea of letting him depart peacefully meant poisoning the food, leading him to die unknowingly.

As an Elder, he certainly couldn't face a firing squad or die from lethal injection. Dying from food poisoning was considered the best method, as it would be easier for the public to accept when announced.

Losing an Elder was no great matter; crazier things had happened.

For example, someone using their own brain as the basis for a computer.

Regardless, the dignity that was due would be given.

The kitchen of the mansion was bustling, and a table full of delicious dishes was quickly served.

"I didn't expect your efficiency to be quite so fast. You're already serving me," Wang Linchi said, looking at the delicacies with a joking tone.

The poison wasn't in the food but on the tableware. It was a slow-acting poison that caused no sensation upon taking effect. It would only make the poisoned person drowsy, leading them to die unknowingly in their sleep.

This kind of poison wasn't something a person of insufficient status could even be given.

"The Great Elder arranged it. He said you should rest early to save your energy for tomorrow," a staff member hurriedly explained.

"You've thought of everything, huh? I just hope I don't wake up in a coffin," Wang Linchi mocked. He then sat down and started eating, seemingly without a care.

As expected from a top chef, the food was delicious. Especially this time, being a last meal, the chef had clearly brought out their best skills.

Unfortunately, Wang Linchi didn't seem to be tasting anything. He just opened his mouth and shoveled everything in.

Seeing Wang Linchi using the cutlery, those watching didn't interfere. Eat as much as you can; it won't affect your death anyway.

As for the Heroic Spirit, it would naturally dissipate when its Summoner, 'Wang Xianyu', died.

It was a pity. Such a unique Heroic Spirit, which could have shone brightly in someone else's hands, was about to dissipate here.

I wonder if someone will summon King Heaven Equivalent again. After all, he left a profound legacy across three dynasties.

An hour passed, and Wang Linchi was still eating. It was then that people realized something was wrong.

A Summoner, no matter how big an eater, couldn't possibly eat this much. This signaled a problem.

"Elder Wang, stop! Don't eat anymore. You've already eaten so much. What if something happens because you eat more?" a staff member hurried forward to stop him.

But he was pushed away by Wang Linchi.

"It's my last meal. If I don't eat now, there won't be another chance," Wang Linchi mumbled. "Do you really think I can't taste the poison you put on the cutlery?"

"I can't believe I've fallen into the Federation's trap for the third time. If I had known, I wouldn't have played my trump card."

"I was too naive, too quick to believe a politician's words," Wang Linchi sighed, a touch of sorrow in his expression.

His words stunned the crowd. They had indeed not expected Wang Linchi to realize this.

"Elder Wang, you..." Someone at the side tried to say something.

But Wang Linchi cut him off directly.

"Tell the Elder Group that something is definitely wrong with Bai Xuan," Wang Linchi said calmly.

"Understood!" Someone answered and then hurriedly left to report to the Great Elder.

It took no more than five minutes for the person to return.

"The Great Elder says he knows and that the Federation has wronged Elder Wang." The messenger relayed only this.

Saving him was still possible, but the Great Elder's intentions were clear: 'Wang Xianyu' had to die here to eliminate any future complications.

"Heh, you heard that, right? If you don't want to meet the same fate, get yourselves energized as soon as possible." Wang Linchi finished speaking, casually tossed the cutlery aside, got up, and left. "Tell the kitchen there's no need to make the rest. I'm full."

But no one carried out that order. Only one person collected the shards of the broken cutlery. These items were lethal; even if the poison was invisible and intangible, they still needed to be disposed of properly.

No one looked for Wang Linchi because it was pointless.

'Wang Xianyu' was undoubtedly destined for death.

Upon returning to his room, Wang Linchi couldn't help but laugh. To him, this so-called poison was nothing more than a chemical substance.

Unless they were to give Wang Linchi the Annihilation Disaster, there was nothing in the Federation that could harm him.

If they were indeed able to control the Annihilation Disaster, then there would be no need to kill Wang Linchi.

"I'll leave a corpse here. It's about time we made our escape." Wang Linchi retracted the Heroic Spirit version of himself. Now, all he had to do was wait.

Once the Ark project is complete, I'll kill the protagonist, swallow the civilization, devour the world, and then make a quick getaway from this world.

Honestly, he hadn't expected the Federation to actually dare lay a hand on him. This sort of treachery, however, wasn't particularly rare.

This was mainly because everything was conducted in private, without public oversight. So, in the end, the Federation had the final say.

Heroic Spirits aren't omnipotent. How could they possibly detect my lies with their rudimentary lie-detection abilities?

Wang Linchi hadn't actually lied. Everything he said was true; he had merely concealed some of his plans, such as the true final outcome of the Ark project.

...

「On the plane.」

The Great Elder was having an online electronic meeting with Elder Jia You and Third Elder, relaying the events that had transpired at the manor.

"What do you think about Bai Xuan's situation?" the Great Elder asked.

"My initial suspicion is that Wang Xianyu intentionally created this confusion. He might be planning to drag Bai Xuan down with him," the Third Elder responded first.

"Bai Xuan isn't simple. He managed to evade our personnel's surveillance. That's not something a thrice-awakened Summoner should be capable of," Elder Jia You offered a different opinion.

The Third Elder was surprised, as he hadn't paid much attention to Bai Xuan. "When did this happen?"

"A while ago," Elder Jia You replied, not specifying the exact time.

"Since there's a problem, let's investigate. We might uncover some clues." The Third Elder wasn't too concerned. He has so many Heroic Spirits, but how strong can a thrice-awakened Summoner truly be?

"You lead a team there. Don't let word get out," the Great Elder instructed the Third Elder.

"What? Me? Lead a team to capture a thrice-awakened Summoner? You must be joking!" The Third Elder was incredulous. He hadn't expected the Great Elder to issue such a bizarre order.

"I never joke with you. Are you going or not? If you don't go, I can arrange for someone else," the Great Elder said calmly.

The Third Elder's expression turned grave. "Alright, I'll go."

He knew that the Great Elder wouldn't issue orders recklessly. Perhaps the Great Elder had really discovered something.
