Story context
Welcome back, fellow travelers of the twisted path! Chapter 414 drops us straight into the belly of the beast—the Supervisory Heavenly Office’s inner sanctum. Li Huowang, still wearing his “Ear Jiu” mask, finally gets his audience with the mysterious Supervisor. But instead of the reinforcements he hoped for, he walks out with a knife pressed to his throat and the weight of a betrayal he never wanted. This is a masterclass in bureaucratic horror: polite, calm, and utterly ruthless. If you thought the Zuowandao were the only threat, think again—the Office plays a longer, colder game.
Why it matters
Alright, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: the Supervisor’s plan doesn’t make sense unless you see the full board. Why ignore a whole sect of reality-warping tricksters pouring into the capital? Because the Office already has a play in motion, and Li Huowang is a fresh piece they just acquired. He’s bait, a tool, and a liability all at once. The warning about Feng Erniu is the Supervisor saying, *“I can erase you just as easily.”*
