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 29

Outside the ward, Li Huifang escorted Gao Yi out and held her hand, saying, "You see how busy your work is. You must take care of your body, my dear."

"Rest assured, Aunt Huifang," replied Gao Yi.

Gao Yi then took an envelope from her bag and said, "Auntie, please accept this. Qin Hao's medical expenses are a huge burden, and I can't manage any more."

After insisting, she stuffed the envelope into Li Huifang's pocket, turned her head, and left.

Li Huifang hurried to catch up, "You don't need to do this, Auntie isn't short of money now. Please, take it back."

Gao Yi pushed back, "Auntie, please just accept it. My mother called a few days ago and said that you've been raising funds."

"In the past, it was indeed a struggle, but not anymore. After Haohao developed software for a foreign company, they paid the final payment—over 800,000 US dollars!"

Gao Yi was taken aback, "Qin Hao? More than 800,000 US dollars?"

She felt a familiar sensation about this sum, but couldn't recall it immediately.

Li Huifang confirmed, "Yes, it was from the project Haohao worked on before falling ill. We were unaware, but the customer paid a few days ago. Rest assured, we have enough money, and we've already returned your mother's loan. I took care of it yesterday!"

"Debt-free and light… So, you should take this money back!"

"Okay, Auntie, I'll go first!" Gao Yi thought about the case and realized she had to take the money back since Aunt Huifang wouldn't accept it. She then left the hospital quickly.

Li Huifang gazed at Gao Yi's figure for a long time before moving.

When Gao Yi returned to the team, she found that all the personnel had arrived, and the director was on a video call.

She asked Hou Liang, "How's the investigation going in Ye City?"

Hou Liang replied, "There are a lot of people involved, and the scope is broad. It'll take some time. We can proceed in two steps: some continue the investigation to narrow down the suspect list, while the most important thing now is that the Thousand Faces Human Skin has taken another job."

"That means he's likely to strike again, which could be a great opportunity for us."

"That's right." Gao Yi nodded, her expression serious. "Who is the target this time?"

Lu Suiliang displayed the dark web mission:

[Target: Qi Rongguang, General Manager of *** Pharmaceutical Group, residing in Qinghe City].

[Remuneration: 5 million RMB].

[Way of death: None].

[Remarks: We are the victims' families. Qi Rongguang manufactures counterfeit drugs and deals in human organs...].

The information showed that the contract was already picked up by two IDs, one of which was 'Thousand Faces Human Skin.'

Gao Yi examined the information and raised her eyebrows, "So, just like Wang Rende and Liu Cui, he's also being framed for someone else's crimes?"

Hou Liang replied, "Qi Rongguang is extremely afraid of death, so we haven't informed him about the dark web contract. If he finds out, he might lock himself indoors, making it difficult for us to catch the Thousand Faces Human Skin and lose the best opportunity."

The director on the other end of the call added, "Alright, we've already contacted the Qinghe police. We'll deploy control in advance to protect Qi Rongguang. It's an opportunity to wait for the rabbit; we must ensure his safety and seize this chance without fail."
