"Did Li Cunxu join the company?" Board member Ling, one of the directors of Rimuru Group, inquired.

Bai Liangfeng bowed respectfully and replied, "No, he said he has an eye problem and declined the offer."

"Do you think there's still a chance he might join?"

Bai Liangfeng pondered seriously, "His attitude is firm. The possibility of him joining is less than one in ten."

Director Ling tapped the table, his eyes turning ruthless.

"Since he doesn't cherish this opportunity, then let's just dig them out! There are plenty of people who can use his eyes."

"Yes."

… …

Inside the ranch's wooden cabin, an invisible blood beast tapped the floor, probing for a basement beneath the cabin.

The floor under the bed echoed, attracting the invisible blood beast's attention.

Just as it was about to open the hidden door, a grappling hook crashed through the window and directly seized its abdomen. Before it could break free from the hook's restraint, a surge of violent electricity surged through it.

The current was too strong, instantly stunning the invisible blood beast.

Bai Liangfeng, the mastermind behind the invisible blood beast, saw clearly the person who imprisoned it through the blood beast's perspective.

"It's a Homeland Defense Robot. How could there be one here?"

Bai Liangfeng was filled with astonishment, seeing a gold star hanging in front of the Homeland Defense Robot's chest.

"This is a Gold-rank Homeland Defense Robot. No wonder my blood beast was so easily subdued."

The invisible blood beast was only Silver-rank. It's normal that it couldn't withstand a Gold-rank Homeland Defense Robot.

In the underground passage, Li Cunxu received an alert from the Homeland Robot on his phone and immediately came out of the passage.

As soon as he came out, he saw something resembling a cylindrical trash can extending a pair of retractable robotic claws, tightly binding an invisible creature.

That unassuming cylinder was the Homeland Defense Robot.

Li Cunxu retrieved soy sauce, poured it into a basin, stirred it into a colored liquid, and splashed it onto the invisible creature.

The invisible creature revealed its true form, a bat-like creature about 1.8 meters tall. It struggled constantly, and whenever its struggles became fierce, the Homeland Defense Robot would deliver an electric shock to paralyze and weaken it.

The Machine Extinction Hunter had never seen this kind of creature before and couldn't find an answer online.

Li Cunxu's pupils shrank. He recognized this creature.

Rimuru Shadowbat, a blood beast cultivated by Rimuru Group. Their innate talent is always [Invisible Skin].

Why would a Rimuru Shadowbat appear in his bedroom and be caught by the Homeland Defense Robot?

Thinking of Bai Liangfeng, the Human Resources Manager of Rimuru Group he met during the day...

Li Cunxu felt a chill in his heart. Was he being targeted by Rimuru Group?

He felt extremely troubled. Rimuru Group was the most radical of the subordinate organizations of the Blood God Sect. Being targeted by them was troublesome!

How could he resolve this matter?

Suddenly, Li Cunxu noticed that the struggling Rimuru Shadowbat was intentionally or unintentionally looking at him.

This Rimuru Shadowbat should have activated vision sharing.

Looking down, he saw a spoon hanging from the Rimuru Shadowbat's waist. Li Cunxu was quite familiar with this spoon. It was the notorious eye-gouging spoon.

The eye-gouging spoon could remove the eyes without damaging the eye's crystalline lens.

When players are born in Pupil City, they have a chance to awaken a Talent Eye. Some NPCs target the players' Talent Eyes, using this spoon to gouge them out.

Players can revive, but a player's Talent Eye isn't like chives in a vegetable garden, growing back after being cut. Once a player's Talent Eye is gouged out, they permanently lose it.

Therefore, when players encounter someone specializing in gouging eyes, they can't wait to commit suicide to avoid permanently losing their Talent Eye.

And the players who permanently lose their Talent Eyes harbor resentment towards the eye-gouging NPCs. Later, when the players developed, they launched a fierce revenge against them.

"Rimuru Group's goal is my eyes. It seems I've been too high-profile recently, attracting this disaster."

He removed the eye-gouging spoon and eye cultivation fluid from the Rimuru Shadowbat's waist, and then punched the Rimuru Shadowbat's eyes twice.

If the ranch hadn't been equipped with a Homeland Defense Robot, his eyes might have really been gouged out.

Thinking of this, Li Cunxu felt even more indignant and punched it a few more times.

After careful consideration, Li Cunxu decided to call the police to resolve this matter.

However, calling the police would mean losing a set of invisibility clothes. The Rimuru Shadowbat's skin was also an excellent material for making invisibility clothes.

The police took the Rimuru Shadowbat away.

The police finding Bai Liangfeng would not expose his identity as a blood cultist. Rimuru Group has been hiding under the Alliance's nose for so long, they must have something up their sleeves.

Even if Bai Liangfeng is exposed, it doesn't matter. He will be discarded like a pawn, and Rimuru Group will not be affected in any way.

After all, it's perfectly normal for such a large company to have a blood cultist mole.

Even the Alliance can't prevent blood cultist moles, let alone a small company like his.

After the police left, Li Cunxu immediately entered the bedroom, changed into clothes he had never worn before, put on a human skin mask, wrapped a red scarf around his neck, put on sunglasses, draped an invisibility cloak over himself, entered the underground passage, and walked out of the tunnel through another hidden exit outside the ranch.

The matter wasn't over yet.

This time the eye-gouging failed, Rimuru Group would launch another eye-gouging attack.

Since Rimuru Group was bound to launch an attack, why not strike first?

Li Cunxu's strength was definitely not enough to retaliate against Rimuru Group, so he had to borrow external force.

Li Cunxu searched the Chongtong District for three days and three nights, finally finding it next to a trash can in a small alley.

Next to the dirty trash can, a black stray dog with a white crescent on its forehead was curled up.

Li Cunxu took out a box of fried chicken legs and pushed it in front of the stray dog. The aroma awakened the stray dog, and the stray dog started eating without hesitation.

After eating the chicken legs, the stray dog happily turned its head, returned to its original spot, and continued sleeping.

"How long are you going to continue to degenerate, Howl?"

The stray dog suddenly raised its head, its beast-like terrifying gaze fixed on Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu's hairs stood on end, as if the creature crouching in front of him at this moment was not a stray dog, but a wolf king to whom ten thousand wolves submitted.

After a long time, the stray dog slowly opened its mouth.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"Never mind who I am, I just want to ask you if you want revenge."

"Do you know where my enemies are?"

The stray dog's eyes revealed a deep-seated hatred, baring its fangs fiercely.

"The Rimuru Group's Chongtong Branch. Go and destroy it! It's an important stronghold for blood cultists."

"Why should I believe you?"

"You can grab a high-level member of Rimuru Group, and wouldn't that verify the truth of what I said?"
