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 28

Gao Yi placed a bouquet and fruit baskets on the edge of Qin Hao's bedside table, smiled, and said, "What, don't you recognize it?"

Looking at Gao Yi in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes. Since high school, he had never seen her like this. Who could have imagined that the adorable girl who used to follow him around like a shadow would transform so unexpectedly?

Blushing, Gao Yi noticed Qin Hao's gaze and smiled playfully, scolding, "Where are you staring at?"

"How did you come here?" Qin Hao asked as he looked at her.

Gao Yi smiled bitterly and shook her head. "I said I wanted to visit everyone, but this time I took the opportunity to come back to Ye City to investigate a case and decided to see you. Otherwise, I wouldn't know when I'd find the time."

Li Huifang noticed the exchange between the two, stood up, and said, "Haohao, you and Can talk, I'll go down to buy something."

As she left, her eyes glanced at Gao Yi a few times.

Qin Hao asked, "I heard you're an expert now. Have you figured out the case you're working on?"

Gao Yi glanced at him, smiled, and said, "I can't discuss the details of the case, but yes, you're right. After high school, you became skilled in computer technology, won several awards, and were part of a hacker alliance."

"Last time, Aunt Huifang mentioned that after you graduated, you were planning to work as a chief consultant for network security at a big company?"

Qin Hao smiled and replied, "A good man doesn't mention his bravery. Things have changed since then."

Gao Yi's eyes turned serious for a moment. She grabbed his arm and said, "Actually, I wanted to talk to you. I've been looking for a hacker master to ask some questions for reference."

Qin Hao teased, "Don't tell me about the specific case. Are you afraid I'll become a suspect?"

Gao Yi playfully rolled her eyes and said, "You? Committing crimes? I can't see that happening."

Changing the subject, Gao Yi asked, "Have you heard of the dark web?"

"The dark web?"

"Yes, the URL is ********."

Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat as he recognized the familiar website, but he nodded in response.

Gao Yi continued, "We recently encountered a tricky case. The perpetrator is a hacker master who carried out two consecutive missions on the dark web, killing the victims in bizarre ways. We traced the individual, and it's very likely that they are from our city or have some connection to Ye City."

Qin Hao's face unconsciously changed.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling hot?" Gao Yi reached for the air conditioner remote control to lower the temperature.

Gao Yi wiped the sweat off Qin Hao's forehead and continued, "As a hacker master, is it possible to trace the other party's real-life address through their ID?"

Qin Hao blinked and replied, "It is possible, but it's difficult. The dark web has a strong firewall to prevent tracking, and skilled hackers often leave fake IP traces to cover their tracks."

"That makes sense," Gao Yi said, nodding in agreement.

As the conversation progressed, Qin Hao's phone rang suddenly. It was Lu Suiliang calling with urgent news.

On the dark web, the "Thousand-Faced Human Skin" has appeared again.

Gao Yi's demeanor changed instantly, and she stood up resolutely. "Good, I'll head back right away."

Turning to Li Huifang and Qin Hao, she said, "Auntie, you see, there's a situation again. I have to leave quickly."
