Gu Yanshu continued to walk. He was feeling something underneath them. He sliced the ground. That made the god of dirtyness annoyed. A big head came. Then a big body. Then a big hand. Then at the final, a big leg. The god of dirtyness was standing 95 meters. These 95 meters was very tall to this world. Gu Yanshu raised his blade and his hand turned full black. He announced to others, this is another battle. They cannot escape this one because he is too big. He can chase us till death.
Bao Yuan looked around and realized he had to fight too. He had no choice but to fight. The dragon slid and came into a building. He grabbed his pons and start eating it, watching it like a TV show.
Gu Yanshu said, so who are you?
The god of dirtyness replied, I am the god of dirtyness. I am also known as many names, but I don't have that much time to yap about it. You annoyed me when I was enjoying my swimming.
Gu Yanshu said, But you don't look dirty at all.
The god of dirtyness said, No, I still am dirty. You just can't see it. And yeah, minion, come out.
The zombie comes out. Gu Yanshu memorized that smell as way before, like 9 or 5 days. This smell was a zombie smell. It was the same, and he even looked the same. Grey t-shirt, green face, green hands, green legs, not fat at all, not big, not short, just a little tall guy.
Gu Yanshu slid in the sky, and he sliced the god of dirtyness hand. Then, the god of dirtyness regenerated a new one. Gu Yanshu misfud to himself, so everyone who I fight is given regeneration abilities for months. I had like some fight without regeneration people, but I am sure it is not always everyone.
The zombie came on the ground, just stand there.
Lan Wege tried to punch the zombie with all of his energy, but the zombie transported that punch. It was supposed to hit him, but now the impact directly hit him. At Lan Wege's stomach, Lan Wege coughed blood out. He looked up. He realizes the zombie did nothing. He didn't know at once, but he also didn't see any impact on the zombie. So he thought he was transporting all the pain and all the energy he had. Lan Wege comes with the dragon. He cannot fight.
Bao Yuan said, You know, if everyone is fighting, why shouldn't I? I have already said I have improved and I don't lie at all.
Bao Yuan, after saying this, slid front of the god of dirtyness stomach, then punched. A big explosion happened, dismantling four meters. When the earth realized it shouldn't be 4 meters. It soon enough became 13 meters. The god of dirtyness have found no injuries at all, but just in a second, he coughed out blood, like a human amount, as he's that big, that should be just 0.1% of his blood. Bao Yuan was shocked. He retreated.
Then Gu Yanshu came behind the god of dirtyness and said, forgot about someone.
Then the god of dirtyness gets sliced very fast. He was sliced in 379 pieces. but he was shocked, but when he realizes he can regenerate, he regenerates the entire energy and laughs at Gu Yanshu for being so weak. Gu Yanshu didn't reply, and he was not hiding anything. Gu Yanshu did not defend. He stood there with an expressionless face.
The god of dirtyness looked around, then again gets sliced. He gets sliced in half, but he regenerates a new body.
Then, Qu Yaoyang is trying his best, attacking the zombie, but the zombie is transporting all the energy and pain and strength to Qu Yaoyang. Qu Yaoyang got injured.
Gu Yanshu saw it. Gu Yanshu again starts slicing the god of dirtyness. Not to make him die quick, but to make his regeneration keeping. When he fully distracted the god of dirtyness, Gu Yanshu slowly came on the ground.
The zombie laughed. Gu Yanshu sliced the zombie, but the zombie tried to transport all the pain, but Gu Yanshu sensed that air and his eyes turned purple when it was supposed to be normal, fully purple. Then a barrier creates a purple one, then blocks all of the attacks, all the energy, all the strength, not even with a scratch. Gu Yanshu's eyes go normal again.
Gu Yanshu looked around for a second. He saw the god of dirtyness has regenerated. Gu Yanshu said, we'll meet you again.
Before going there, he tripped the zombie and sliced his head off. But nothing happened for the moment. The zombie regenerated a new one and said, I also have regenerating powers. Me and the god of dirtyness is truly unbeatable.
Gu Yanshu ignored everything he said and tried to slice the god of dirtyness's hand. But instead, nothing happened.
The god said, Haha, my Body can be stronger if I want it. Now, I will try a little hard, won't I? Ah, this is wonderful, isn't it?
Gu Yanshu stayed calm, didn't did anything for a second. Then his hand turned full black. After a moment, the god of dirtyness regenerated a new one.
Gu Yanshu knew right now he had not figured even one strategy and not planned, not at all.
Gu Yanshu stood there for a second. Then he was about to slice the god of dirtyness. The god of dirtyness just said, Ability power, ability of big nails that instantly stab.
Gu Yanshu's stomach, his nails were sharper than a sword. Gu Yanshu fall into the ground. The god of dirtyness kicked him on a wall.
When Qu Yaoyang saw that his eyes turned fully black. Then he grabs the zombie neck and lifts him up, almost choking him to death.
When finally one word came out of zombie mouth. The god of dirtyness. Help me, please.
The god of dirtyness tried to kick Qu Yaoyang, but Qu Yaoyang blocked that leg and slammed him at the ground twice. The god of dirtyness couldn't move.
Everything got intense. It was almost night this time. But Qu Yaoyang saw the sunset, but he was still angry. When he did all this, he looked around. He was looking like he was lonely.
The dragon laughed loudly and whispered to himself, that bastard is dead. I gotta go and return to my home. Then a barrier blocks him. Qu Yaoyang was the one who created it. That was a big barrier.
The dragon whispered to himself, damn it.
Qu Yaoyang said, hey, you go heal him.
Lan Wege understood and he start flying. He came to Gu Yanshu and saw the injuries were all at his stomach.
Gu Yanshu's body was with bacteria but Lan Wege cannot clear bacteria, he can only heal. That nail was covered with dustiness. And to remove that bacteria, Lan Wege could only do one thing and remove the bacteria of Gu Yanshu. And that thing is the medicine of bacteria. That was the only choice because that medicine will remove the bacteria no matter how much the bacteria it is. That would be the only medicine. All Lan Wege could do was heal.
Lan Wege start healing Gu Yanshu.
This wasn't a big injury. Gu Yanshu was breathing. But this was the most biggest injury. But Lan Wege healing powers has improved. Now he's slowly becoming a master of it. He can heal very fast. And after that, when he becomes the master, he can clean the blood and also heal whoever it was in just three seconds. If that is a big injury like this one, that would take 17 or 14 seconds. Right now, it will Take four minutes.
Qu Yaoyang was looking around and seeing a new enemy to get his revenge the whole four minutes.
When Gu Yanshu opened his eyes, he looked around and saw Lan Wege. He said, was I being healed?
When his eyes opened fully, the only thing he saw was Lan Wege.
He pushed Lan Wege and walked.
When Qu Yaoyang saw him, his eyes turned back to normal and he was happy.
The god of dirtyness stood up.
The zombie healed his injuries and said, ah, that was a big one, isn't it? Now, do we continue our fight?
Gu Yanshu says, no, we do not.
The zombie says, but the god of dirtyness says, we are ending this. This fight was all because of annoying things. Just ignore it.
The zombie with almost crying face came in the god of dirtyness shoulder. Inside he was crying when he was normal at outside. The god of dirtiness slowly disappeared and he came back underworld.
Gu Yanshu said, And yeah, you, bring me five medicines and three glass of waters and 1 miyagu And that's it.
Qu Yaoyang said, as you wish.
He slowly started walking away.
He did buy five medicines of bacteria, and he did buy three glass of water in just one shop, but he went searching for a while. When he finally found Miyagu food, he didn't brought one, he brought two. He ran and came back to the same location.
Gu Yanshu said, you really did took a while, didn't you?
Qu Yaoyang said, I apologize for taking too late. I will definitely come not too late the another time.
Gu Yanshu said, nah, it is okay. I am not here to talk rude with you. Like, you already did know it. Yeah, five medicines, three glass of water, and one Miyagu food. Where is it?
Then, Qu Yaoyang opened an empty space and took all of it. First, he gave three glasses of water and five medicines to Gu Yanshu.
Gu Yanshu first putted five medicines in his mouth, then with three glasses of waters, he swallowed the medicines of bacteria.
Then, Qu Yaoyang gave our main characters two Miyagu food.
Gu Yanshu said, why this is two? This was supposed to be only one, but whatever.
Gu Yanshu started eating this. Slowly and slowly, he finished it.
Gu Yanshu stood there for a while, but still, with eating all of this, he was still with an expressionless face. He didn't react to things. He just basically ate it.
When that food was over...
They slowly began to walk, Gu Yanshu said, and Our journey begins again.
Nobody replies for a while. Then Bao Yuan reply came, Yeah, I know. I was scared of that big monster.
Gu Yanshu did not reply at all.
And everyone continue to walk.
They kept walking.
The air was quieter now.
The battle had ended, but the feeling of it still remained in the road behind them.
Bao Yuan looked back once, then forward again, then asked, "So… that really was a god?"
The dragon answered, "Yes."
Bao Yuan swallowed.
"That was a very large god."
Qu Yaoyang said, "You noticed."
Bao Yuan looked at him.
"I noticed because he was ninety-five meters tall."
The dragon said, "That would usually count as noticeable."
Bao Yuan muttered, "I am starting to hate how calm all of you are."
Gu Yanshu kept walking.
He did not answer right away.
Then he said, "If you stay with us, you will get used to it."
Bao Yuan looked at him.
"Is that supposed to be comforting?"
"No."
Bao Yuan sighed.
"Of course it is not."
Lan Wege glanced at Gu Yanshu's stomach again, then looked away.
The wound had healed, but the memory of the injury was still there.
He asked quietly, "Does it still hurt?"
Gu Yanshu answered, "No."
Bao Yuan looked surprised.
"Really?"
Gu Yanshu said, "Not now."
Bao Yuan looked at him carefully.
Then he said, "That answer was weird."
Qu Yaoyang gave a short glance.
"Everything he says is weird to you."
Bao Yuan replied, "Because it is weird."
The dragon laughed softly.
"Good. Then you are paying attention."
Bao Yuan frowned.
"I keep hearing that."
The dragon said, "Because it matters."
They continued walking.
The road stretched on.
Nothing else attacked.
Nothing else moved.
For a while, the only sounds were footsteps and the small rustling of dust in the wind.
Bao Yuan stayed a little closer to the group now.
After a while he asked, "So what happens when we reach the next place?"
Gu Yanshu answered, "We keep walking."
Bao Yuan stared at him.
"That is your answer for everything."
Gu Yanshu said, "Because it works."
Bao Yuan looked away and muttered, "I hate that that makes sense."
Qu Yaoyang said, "Good."
Bao Yuan sighed and kept moving.
The journey continued.The third blacker, after eating Miyagu, said again, "This is my time to go."
The little brother said, "Your time to go? What are you saying? You did it once, stood here, you just ate, and now you are going away? It is not even one day. Stay with us."
The third blacker said, "This damn night is pissing me one more off. And my answer is no. But don't cry. I will come in like half an hour. I am going to see my grandfather's health."
The little brother said, "Really?"
The third blacker touched his head and said, "I never lie."
He opened the door and closed it, walking out of the house.
He slowly walked through the graveyard and almost came into the hospital after walking for a while.
Then he stood there.
He looked around.
He felt some negative energy around him.
The third blacker tried to ignore it, but that negative energy was like blocking his way.
He opened empty space and said, "This is enough. Reveal yourself."
Then a figure revealed itself.
His body was fully black.
His eyes were fully red.
He had fully black hair.
The third blacker said, "Now who the hell is that?"
He said, "I am Yuana Zi La."
The third blacker slammed him into the ground and said, "You should probably move out of my way."
Yuana Zi La said, "We are not your enemy, third blacker. I was also a blacker in my past, but they kicked me because I was too demonic. But still, I am not your enemy. I will keep spying you."
The third blacker said, "Say whatever you want. Right now, I have business."
Yuana Zi La said, "If you have business, go away."
The third blacker looked and said, "You better not give me pride, you little shadowy bastard."
The third blacker slowly walked in.
He came in Room 75, the same room.
He opened the door.
The doctor said, "Do not come here. Wait there, like two hours. We are on surgery. Your grandfather has middle stage cancer, and he does not only have middle stage cancer. He also has paralysis. We are doing treatment. Come the next day or wait for three or four hours."
The third blacker remembered the promise.
He said he would come in half an hour, so he chose to come back later.
He left Room 95 and was going downstairs.
Another doctor came and went into Room 85 without a question.
The third blacker could not say anything.
He could only stand there.
He walked downstairs.
He realized it had only been 14 minutes.
And even if he came earlier, the little brother would cry because that was not his promise.
So he waited for 13 minutes.
He knew it would take a lot of time and that would already be 30 minutes.
So it was 13 minutes when he almost opened the door, and it was 31.
The little brother took his phone and was about to call the third blacker, but the door opened.
It was the third blacker.
The third blacker said, "I am back."
The little brother said, "You took one more minute."
With an angry expression, he walked upstairs.
The third blacker could not do anything but just stood there.
Back, Gu Yanshu's journey continued.
There was nothing inside that town.
Then they left that town and they came into Tumasi Nia Jin.
When they entered, there were more people than in that town.
This town was louder than any town they had met.
Everyone was talking, smiling, doing this and that, but Gu Yanshu and the others had no problem with it.
They just continued their journey.
The noise of the town spread around them like water running through a channel.
Not dangerous.
Just crowded.
Bao Yuan looked from one side of the street to the other and said, "This place is loud."
The dragon answered, "Yes."
Bao Yuan nodded.
"I like it more than the empty places."
Qu Yaoyang glanced at him.
"Then you like getting distracted."
Bao Yuan looked offended.
"That is not what I said."
The dragon said, "It is close."
Bao Yuan sighed.
"Everyone here twists what I say."
Gu Yanshu kept walking and said, "Because you talk too much."
Bao Yuan immediately looked at him.
"That was rude."
Gu Yanshu did not answer.
Bao Yuan stared for a second, then muttered, "That is also kind of normal now."
Lan Wege looked around at the crowd.
The town was busier than the last one, with people moving in all directions, carrying baskets, talking over each other, and stopping near stalls.
"It is better than a silent town," he said.
Qu Yaoyang replied, "Yes."
Bao Yuan looked at the people passing by.
"Why does this one feel more alive?"
The dragon answered, "Because more people are pretending not to notice each other."
Bao Yuan blinked.
"That is a strange sentence."
The dragon said, "It is also true."
They kept moving forward slowly.
The street was wide enough for them to pass without touching anyone, but close enough that Bao Yuan kept watching the crowd.
A man selling cloth called out a price.
A woman near a fruit stand argued about the size of a basket.
A child ran between two older people and almost got caught.
Bao Yuan watched all of it and then said, "There is a lot happening here."
Qu Yaoyang replied, "That is why we keep moving."
Bao Yuan nodded slowly.
"Right. We keep moving."
The sound of the town covered the smaller sounds of their footsteps.
For a while, no one in the group spoke.
The dragon sat comfortably, still on Gu Yanshu's shoulder, and looked around with calm eyes.
Bao Yuan noticed that and asked, "Do you like crowded places?"
The dragon answered, "They are easier to read."
Bao Yuan frowned.
"How is that easier?"
The dragon said, "Because people show what they want when there are too many of them."
Bao Yuan looked at the crowd again.
"That actually makes sense."
Qu Yaoyang glanced at him.
"You are getting used to the answers."
Bao Yuan said, "I am getting used to the weirdness."
The dragon gave a slight nod.
"That is close enough."
They passed a line of food stalls.
The smell of cooked grain, soup, oil, and spice drifted through the air.
Bao Yuan's eyes immediately moved toward the stalls.
He said, "That smells good."
The dragon replied, "Yes."
Bao Yuan looked hopeful.
"Are we stopping?"
Gu Yanshu answered, "Not yet."
Bao Yuan's shoulders dropped a little.
"Of course not."
Qu Yaoyang looked at him.
"You complain a lot."
Bao Yuan turned to him.
"I am not complaining. I am observing my suffering."
The dragon laughed lightly.
Bao Yuan looked proud of himself.
"At least that was a good line."
Gu Yanshu did not look over, but his mouth shifted slightly as if he had heard it and chosen not to comment.
They continued through the center of the town.
The crowd stayed thick.
People passed by them without much attention.
A few glanced at Gu Yanshu.
A few glanced at the dragon.
Most kept moving.
Bao Yuan whispered, "I think I like this place."
Qu Yaoyang asked, "Why?"
Bao Yuan thought for a moment.
"Because nobody here is trying to explode anything."
The dragon said, "That can change."
Bao Yuan immediately looked at him.
"I did not need that sentence."
The dragon answered, "It was still true."
Bao Yuan groaned.
"Why is every true thing here annoying?"
Qu Yaoyang said, "Because you notice them."
Bao Yuan looked at him and then gave up arguing.
The road ahead split into two smaller streets.
Gu Yanshu did not hesitate.
He turned to the right.
The others followed.
Bao Yuan looked at the new street and asked, "Where are we headed now?"
Gu Yanshu answered, "Forward."
Bao Yuan stared.
"Do you have any other words?"
Gu Yanshu said, "Sometimes."
Bao Yuan sighed.
"You are impossible."
The dragon said, "Yet you still follow."
Bao Yuan looked at the dragon.
"That is because I have no better option."
Qu Yaoyang said, "Good."
Bao Yuan looked at him.
"Stop saying good like that."
Qu Yaoyang replied, "No."
Bao Yuan looked away, half annoyed and half amused.
The group moved deeper into the crowded town.
The light was warm.
The noise kept flowing.
And Gu Yanshu kept leading them forward without slowing down, while Bao Yuan kept asking questions and the others kept answering only enough to keep the road moving.Nothing happened for a moment, but Gu Yanshu saw someone drinking wine.
He was a little bit similar to the second strongest disciple.
He was wearing a brown jacket, white hair, black t-shirt, and brown pants.
But there was a change.
He looked more drunk than before.
Gu Yanshu stopped.
Bao Yuan asked, "Why?"
Gu Yanshu pointed at the second strongest disciple.
He did not want to fight because the bacteria was still clearing.
Then slowly it became night.
But still this town got even louder when it became night.
Bao Yuan said, "It is some people sleep in the morning and wake up at night."
The dragon replied, "No, it only becomes louder because the wind finally comes in. You remember how hot it was at sunset. The people also have a rule to come out at night. They will sleep soon. This town will become quiet, but not even that much because I heard this town never stays quiet."
As they just crossed into a town named Tumasi Nia Jin, Bao Yuan said, "So if the town name is static, means this will also never stay quiet."
Bao Yuan laughed and said, "Never staying quiet is like disturbance to others, but some guys also have earplugs, so that would probably stop the noise, or some guys also have headphones, didn't they?"
The dragon did not answer.
Nothing happened again for a while.
No events.
It became all the same.
There was still noise coming, and this was becoming normal.
Everyone was getting used to it.
The town always stayed noisy.
Bao Yuan after a while suddenly ran out of energy and fell into the ground.
No one knew why.
Qu Yaoyang picked him up and threw him at a wall that made him wake up.
Bao Yuan instantly screamed, "Don't you have shame? Doing like that is bad."
Nobody replied.
Gu Yanshu kept walking.
He had noticed the drunk-looking man too, but he did not turn it into a problem.
Not now.
The town was loud enough on its own.
People were still moving around in the streets, some carrying food, some returning from work, some just talking too loudly as they passed.
Bao Yuan rubbed the back of his head and looked at Qu Yaoyang.
"You really threw me."
Qu Yaoyang said, "You fell."
Bao Yuan pointed at him.
"That is not the same thing."
Qu Yaoyang replied, "It was enough."
Bao Yuan stared at him for a second, then sighed.
"I hate all of you."
The dragon said, "That is not true."
Bao Yuan looked at it.
"It is a little true."
The dragon replied, "No. You are just annoyed."
Bao Yuan muttered, "Same thing."
Gu Yanshu kept moving through the crowd.
He was still watching the man in the brown jacket from the corner of his eye.
The figure looked drunk, but not careless enough to be harmless.
Gu Yanshu did not stop.
He only measured the distance.
Bao Yuan walked beside him again after a moment and asked, "Are we stopping anywhere tonight?"
Gu Yanshu answered, "Yes."
Bao Yuan looked relieved.
"Good."
Qu Yaoyang glanced at him.
"You get tired very fast."
Bao Yuan immediately said, "I do not get tired fast. I get startled fast."
The dragon said, "That is also a kind of tired."
Bao Yuan made a face.
"You all are too much."
They kept walking.
The crowd thickened for a moment near a street corner where a few stalls were still open.
The smell of cooked food drifted through the air.
Bao Yuan looked over immediately and said, "That smells good."
The dragon said, "Yes."
Bao Yuan looked at Gu Yanshu.
"Can we eat later?"
Gu Yanshu replied, "If we need."
Bao Yuan stared at him.
"That is not a yes."
Qu Yaoyang said, "It is close enough."
Bao Yuan sighed again.
"This is a very difficult group to travel with."
The dragon answered, "You are still here."
Bao Yuan thought about that for a moment and then smiled a little.
"Yeah. I am."
Gu Yanshu kept moving toward a quieter side street.
The town was still loud, but the noise had started spreading differently now that night had arrived.
More voices.
More footsteps.
More people outside.
Bao Yuan looked up at the darkening sky and said, "The town really changes after sunset."
The dragon replied, "Of course it does."
Bao Yuan asked, "Why?"
The dragon answered, "Because people change too."
Bao Yuan looked at him.
"That sounds too deep for this conversation."
The dragon said, "It is still true."
Bao Yuan looked ahead again and stayed quiet for a while.
The second strongest disciple glanced at the crowd.
He had noticed the same man Gu Yanshu had pointed out, but he did not ask yet.
Instead he said, "That one looks familiar."
Gu Yanshu answered, "Yes."
Bao Yuan turned.
"You know him?"
Gu Yanshu said, "He looks like someone I have seen before."
Bao Yuan looked nervous again.
"Is that bad?"
Qu Yaoyang replied, "Not yet."
Bao Yuan frowned.
"That answer again."
The dragon said, "You are learning the pattern."
Bao Yuan muttered, "I wish I was not."
They moved farther into the town.
The noise kept staying around them.
The night wind came in more strongly now, making the hanging signs move a little above the shops.
Bao Yuan looked at one of them and asked, "Do people here ever sleep early?"
The dragon answered, "Some."
Bao Yuan asked, "And the others?"
"They stay loud."
Bao Yuan gave a short laugh.
"Of course they do."
Qu Yaoyang glanced at him.
"You are starting to repeat what the dragon says."
Bao Yuan replied, "Because the dragon gives the clearest answers."
The dragon looked pleased.
"Good."
Bao Yuan pointed toward a side alley.
"So where are we sleeping?"
Gu Yanshu said, "Not there."
Bao Yuan looked where he had pointed.
"That was not even a real suggestion."
Gu Yanshu answered, "I know."
Bao Yuan looked at him with a deeply tired expression.
"You really like making people guess."
Gu Yanshu said, "Not really."
Bao Yuan stared at him.
"That might be the least convincing answer you have given."
The dragon said, "He is still correct."
Bao Yuan waved a hand.
"I am not even arguing anymore."
They kept walking.
The town stayed busy.
The same drunk-looking man remained somewhere farther ahead, half hidden by the crowd.
Gu Yanshu had already decided not to act on it.
Not while the town was still this loud.
Not while the others were still moving.
Not while Bao Yuan was still asking questions and the road was still open.
So he simply kept walking.
And the others kept following.
The noisy town continued around them, while the group moved through it without stopping.The new disciple said, "Now can you let me sleep? This has been like over a lot of time. I have not slept for two days. And I joined your sect two days ago."
The dragon said, "Everyone here does not sleep."
Bao Yuan stared.
"Doesn't sleep? You mean doesn't sleep? These guys want to die?"
The dragon laughed.
"Die? You are saying we will die because of just not sleeping? Sleeping does not mean living. Sleeping means just resting, that is it. Just relaxing. No one wants to do that."
Bao Yuan hoped this text would disappear.
He looked at the ground.
Honestly, he had more hope in the ground suddenly walking away than in this conversation ending.
Bao Yuan was hiding his anger.
Then Lan Wege spoke.
"I think I saw a newspaper. Can you go buy it?"
Qu Yaoyang said, "Which shop?"
Lan Wege pointed at a shop far away.
Qu Yaoyang immediately ran over.
A few moments later, he returned.
He had found two newspapers.
He bought both and handed them over.
Gu Yanshu took the first one.
The headline was enormous.
THE THIRD BLACKER'S GRANDFATHER IS ABOUT TO DIE
The article was even more dramatic.
Yes, according to the doctors, the third blacker's grandfather was about to die.
He had middle cancer.
He had many fevers.
Half of one kidney had stopped functioning.
His heart was beating poorly.
His condition was described as perfectly normal for someone about to die.
The doctors also issued a public warning.
When the third blacker learned of his grandfather's death, he might immediately rampage and destroy the entire hospital.
Nobody could stop him.
He had more authority than the hospital itself.
Actually, the hospital barely had authority at all.
The doctors themselves were already injured.
They continued working purely because they were being paid.
The article further warned that the third blacker's little brother and bigger brother might also participate in the hospital's total destruction.
Gu Yanshu read the entire thing without expression.
This time, he did not tear it apart.
He simply tossed it into the air.
Then he caught the second newspaper.
Its headline was shorter.
YUTISHI SWEARS REVENGE AGAINST THE THIRD BLACKER
Yutishi wanted revenge for his father.
He wanted to kill the third blacker.
Experts predicted that he would likely lose.
Possibly die.
Just as he had when he was defeated by his brother the first time they fought.
The article admitted that Yutishi usually succeeded whenever revenge was involved.
But this time, the chances were almost impossible.
The revenge was considered nearly unattainable.
After all, the third blacker also possessed strength.
A terrifying amount of it.
The final prediction was simple.
The third blacker would win.
Gu Yanshu folded the newspaper neatly.
Then he stored it inside his empty space.
Bao Yuan blinked.
"You are keeping that?"
Gu Yanshu nodded once.
"It may become useful."
The group continued walking.
Tumasi Nia Jin only grew louder as time passed.
Night brought wind.
Wind brought people.
People brought noise.
The streets became brighter.
Lanterns lit up one after another.
Voices rose from taverns.
Merchants shouted final offers.
Children ran through the roads.
Music drifted from somewhere deep in the town.
Bao Yuan looked around.
"This place gets louder at night. That should be illegal."
The dragon replied, "Then arrest the town."
Bao Yuan frowned.
"I hate you."
"I know."
Qu Yaoyang walked ahead without caring.
Lan Wege glanced at Gu Yanshu.
"Interesting news."
Gu Yanshu folded his arms.
"The third blacker will be distracted soon."
Lan Wege smiled slightly.
"And Yutishi?"
Gu Yanshu looked toward the distant lights.
"He will lose."
Bao Yuan tilted his head.
"Then why keep the newspaper?"
Gu Yanshu answered calmly.
"Because desperate people make mistakes."
Nobody questioned him after that.
They simply continued deeper into the restless streets of Tumasi Nia Jin while the noise of the city rolled around them like endless waves.
