Executioner System: Faceless Man

Qin Hao, a young man who had been battling a terminal illness, found himself in the most unexpected of circumstances when he awakened a mysterious system. This system granted him an extraordinary gift – the ability to alter his appearance and disguise himself as anyone he chose. With this newfound power, he became more than a mere mortal; he became a shapeshifter, capable of transforming into any individual he desired. Driven by the injustice he had witnessed throughout his life, Qin Hao assumed a role he never dreamt of – he appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner. No longer confined by his physical limitations, he set out on a quest to deliver justice to the wicked souls that had managed to elude the law. His mission was clear – he would harvest the life and soul of those who had spread evil and chaos, ensuring they faced their well-deserved fate. With each wicked individual he encountered, Qin Hao's sense of purpose deepened. Yet, his actions came at a cost. Each collected soul that he absorbed into himself not only granted him renewed strength but also connected him to the darkness he sought to eradicate. He could feel the sinister weight of their sins and the torment of their past deeds seeping into his very being. Despite the heavy burden he carried, Qin Hao remained resolute, for he knew that the collected souls provided him with something invaluable – the chance to revive his failing body functions. The terminal illness that had once threatened to take him away from this world now faced an opponent as relentless as fate itself. As the wicked on the loose learned of their impending judgment, an eerie and palpable tension settled over the city. They whispered fearful tales of the shapeshifter, a vengeful force determined to cleanse their world of darkness. Each night, the air was thick with uncertainty, and the once-dreaded shadows now bore a haunting presence, as if they were sentient witnesses to the shapeshifter's relentless pursuit. One by one, the wicked would meet a strange death, their fates sealed by a force beyond comprehension. It was a chilling reminder that even in the face of adversity and impending mortality, justice could find its way through the most enigmatic of avenues. Qin Hao's transformation from a mere mortal to an enigmatic figure, guided by his unyielding sense of justice, was a tale that intrigued and bewildered the masses. And so, the legend of the shapeshifter began to spread, a tale of hope for the oppressed and a warning for the malevolent.

Chapter 19

Gao Yi also took a look at the scene and, together with Hou Liang under the leadership of Lao Zhang, came to the special video analysis hall.

Accompanying them were Lao Zhang's men, including a young policeman, surnamed Sun, who was very skilled in investigations.

As soon as they opened the video, they heard a burst of talking voices and footsteps outside.

"Isn't it just a car accident? Why did you connect it with Rende's case? What the hell have you been looking into for so long…"

The sound grew nearer, and then the door opened from the outside.

The director walked in with Wang Daqing, the president of Dingsheng Group, and his housekeeper. Dingsheng Group held a pivotal position in Haicheng, and Wang Daqing was deeply concerned about his son's case.

When he first heard the news of his son's accident, he felt like the world was spinning.

He had a direct cardiac arrest and fainted. If he didn't have a family doctor, he guessed he would have succumbed to this life.

When he woke up, he burst into tears and was devastated!

He only had one son, a successful career, and a son in old age. He had spoiled him from childhood, inevitably being a bit doting. He provided him with the best and most beautiful everything but was a little lax in terms of discipline.

Later, when his son grew up, he sent him to study abroad, and some bad habits were formed during that time. He also knew about the misdeeds his son did outside, and many times, he used his connections to handle them… But, anyway, it was his son. Even if he did nothing, he had a net worth of tens of billions. How could he die? And so unclearly?

The pool had been tested by many parties, so how could it suddenly crack?

Thus, for three days straight, he went to the police and exerted pressure on the bureau, causing the director's hairline to recede a few points.

Today, Wang Daqing came again, and upon hearing that Hou Liang and Gao Yi, who were in charge of the case, were not there and had gone to deal with other cases, it made Wang Daqing extremely annoyed.

Gao Yi glanced at Wang Daqing and said lightly, "This is not what you call other cases, and we suspect that this case has a certain connection with Wang Rende's case."

"Connection? What's the connection? It was just a car accident, and the person in the car accident had nothing to do with our family."

Gao Yi ignored him and said calmly, "Mr. Wang, please don't interfere with our work."

Wang Daqing gritted his teeth, his face a little ugly. He wanted to have a seizure, but he paused and then looked at the big screen.

Footage captured on a roadside video, three kilometers from the site, showed that when the Land Rover passed, there were three people's heads inside.

It was clear that three people were sitting inside. The video showed that before the accident, Liu Cui's car had three occupants: herself, her lover, and another person. The hair of the third person was a little gray, but the face wasn't particularly clear.

However, when the vehicle crashed into the reinforced concrete, only two people were rescued from the car – one dead and one seriously injured.

Another person was missing!

Where was the missing person?

Watching the video several times in a row confirmed this, which made everyone's throats dry.

Inexplicably, a chill arose, and even Wang Daqing's body moved unconsciously.

"Wrong!" Gao Yi furrowed her brows, pointed to a specific moment, and said, "Frame by frame, slowly."

She referred to the moment a few seconds after the incident.

"Stop? Seeing that nothing seemed to be thrown out of the car, flesh... What is it?"

In the video, after the vehicle hit, the glass shattered, and something flashed out, like a shadow, or maybe paper.

They played it back repeatedly.

It was too fast to analyze what it was, but it didn't look human.

Hou Liang's assistant Xiao Liu asked, "Could it be a flesh-colored silk sock? My girlfriend has a few pairs of silk socks of this color."

"Flesh-colored silk socks?" Gao considered the explanation and allowed him to write it down.

The video continued, but the next scene terrified everyone present.

The video suddenly showed an old man standing up from inside the car. The video didn't capture where he stood up; it only showed him slowly walking to the front of the car to look inside. He appeared calm while looking at the driver's seat, but when he looked at the co-pilot seat, his face showed a hint of pity as he shook his head. Then, he calmly left the scene.

Everyone stared fixedly at the old man's face and suddenly realized that the old man in the video, judging from his head shape, hairstyle, hair color, and facial features, was the third person in the Land Rover.

While listening to the police report earlier, everyone's backs tensed, and cold sweat formed on their foreheads.

At this moment, the most nervous and terrified person in the room was the young police officer surnamed Sun. He had been responsible for the car accident case at the entrance of Yucai School and suddenly recognized the old man's face.

His face turned pale with fright, his body stiffened, and he exclaimed, "This… How could it be him?"

His expression was even uglier than if he had been crying, and he continued, "He... This old man is the former principal of Yucai Primary School, who was knocked into a vegetative state and has since died."
