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 5: Mission Accomplished

At that moment, "Sheffield" had already drilled a hole in the glass, stealthily placed an object inside, and promptly sealed it with something. Her eerie smile towards Wang Rende sent a chill down his spine. The suction cups in her hand moved with precision, allowing her to climb the surface like a nimble gecko before she vanished from sight.

The mysterious object inside the glass was a special high-expansion glue, and its quick curing process generated an instant surge of heat, causing the volume to expand dramatically.

As a brittle material with poor thermal conductivity, the glass suffered damage from local heating, especially around the drill hole, where the expansion stress was concentrated.

Wang Rende was left bewildered. How could she crawl like a gecko?

Before he could make sense of the situation, a spine-chilling clicking sound emerged from the pool's depths—a sound that triggered a sense of impending doom.

Fear gripped Wang Rende's heart as he witnessed cracks rapidly spreading across the once immaculate pool's surface.

At that moment, Wang Rende's face displayed a mix of terror, shock, and despair. The air felt suffocating, and his head felt as though it were encased in ice.

"Poof, poof."

Desperation urged him to swim to the shore, but his legs refused to cooperate.

Finally, a deafening boom echoed through the surroundings as the tempered glass shattered, allowing the water to consume Wang Rende, dragging him into the depths.

Struggling to resurface, he caught a glimpse of people who had already reached the shore. To his horror, the "Sheffield" on the shore wore a cold, sinister expression, utterly unrecognizable from the friendly Sheffield he knew.

Who was she?

This was not Sheffield.

Wang Rende's eyes bulged in disbelief, and he let out a desperate roar, futilely flailing his limbs against the forceful water that enveloped him.

"Ahh…"

A mournful cry pierced through the night, only to be followed by a muffled sound. Car alarms blared, and people's panicked screams filled the air, plunging the once vibrant CBD streets into chaos.

The bustling streets of the CBD turned into a frenzy. People looked up, panic evident in their eyes. The giant swimming pool on the top floor of the Dingsheng Group had vanished, leaving only shattered remains.

"Sheffield" stood still, gazing at the space where the pool once was. Her eyes narrowed as she remained there, not leaving immediately.

Instead, she opened Wang Rende's laptop once again, entering a series of codes that took her to the dark web with a black and red background.

She completed the task and confirmed it on the website:

[Please confirm, has the task been completed?]

With a single click, she confirmed the completion.

The website displayed an English prompt:

[The website will confirm within 24 hours. If true, the reward will be sent to your account as soon as possible. Note: the website will deduct 11.4% of the service fee.]

Having finished her actions, "Sheffield" erased all traces of her internet activity, then grabbed her handbag and pressed the elevator button.

The elevator doors opened, revealing no one inside—just her handbag resting quietly in the corner.

As she exited, the security personnel rushed in, focused on confirming Wang Rende's safety, and completely overlooked the bag.

The tote bag ascended with them and later descended to another floor.

The elevator doors opened again, and a "cleaner" walked out with the tote bag. She strolled to the nearby garbage bin, picked up the trash inside, and calmly left the Dingsheng Building, unnoticed in the darkness.

Just a few minutes later, several police officers arrived at the scene with their sirens wailing. They quickly set up a barrier, preventing anyone from entering or leaving the area.

The apparent leader of the group was on the phone, inquiring about the situation on the top floor and the identity of the deceased.

"It's… Mr. Wang…" The security captain's voice trembled on the other end of the line.

"Who? Which Mr. Wang?" the leader asked.

"Wang Rende!"

Upon hearing the name, everyone around was stunned.
