A deserted land hundreds of miles away from the City of the Holy Name.
The demon spider lay on the ground, silent and motionless.
suddenly.
A figure quietly emerged.
It was the long-haired man.
He still wore half a mask on his face, covering his eyes, cheeks and nose, only revealing the mouth holding a cigarette.
"How could you come to the City of the Holy Name with such fanfare?" the long-haired man asked with a cold expression.
"I was transported here." The voice of "Death" sounded in the demon spider's body.
"Teleport? Did you encounter a being that you can't defeat?" the man with the long knife asked.
The tone of the "God of Death" fluctuated slightly, and even revealed a hint of resentment:
"His strength is nothing, but he is too despicable and slippery, so I couldn't catch him."
"So, he's a guy who's good at hiding?" the long-haired man asked.
"Yes."
"Is this guy important?"
"Very important, related to an important plan of the Demon God."
"...Okay, I will check the newly joined professionals one by one and find him."
The long-haired man was about to leave after saying that.
"Wait a minute!" the voice of "Death" came from the demon spider's body.
"What else?" the long-haired man asked.
"Give me a body and let me enter the city."
"Unless you find that guy, you can't cause trouble - after all, I just killed a titled strong man, and now they are investigating the whole city."
"Don't worry, he is my only target. As long as I catch him, I will be satisfied and will never cause trouble."
"……good."
…
the other side.
Wu Xiaode looked at the information displayed on the computer and asked, "How long can I stay in total now?"
A line of small words immediately appeared on the screen:
"28 hours."
——It’s still so long.
Can we have a meal then?
If you don't eat and rest, you will have no soul power.
If you don’t have soul power, how can you compete with a B-level professional?
Wu Xiaode collected his name plate and walked all the way back to the restaurant.
The waiter and the girl in maid uniform were still guarding the door.
——There is no need to bully them.
In fact, they are probably just ordinary people. They encountered the demon harvesting the world, were lucky enough to be saved, and then struggled here, not wanting to go to the world of death.
Wu Xiaode walked directly to the waiter and asked, "How much time does it take to have a meal?"
"One dish for three hours."
The waiter said expressionlessly, but suddenly an impatient look appeared on his face, and he waved behind Wu Xiaode and said:
"Go away, go away! If you don't have money, don't hang out in front of our store, it will affect our business!"
Wu Xiaode turned around and looked.
I saw a skinny old woman, staring straight at the delicious dishes in the restaurant, swallowing her saliva.
She looked haggard, smiling and sad, and her expression was a little abnormal.
"Forget it, she is mentally unstable. She was rescued by accident at first glance and will go to the world of death when the time comes. Why bother arguing with her?" the maid advised.
"Is it easy for us? If we can't attract many customers, the time we spend in this world will be less and less." The waiter said angrily.
Wu Xiaode scratched his head.
He glanced at the old woman again.
She was wearing a clean robe and her hair was combed meticulously. Although she was just standing there, she had an elegant temperament about her body.
——It’s a pity that it’s crazy.
"Old man, what are you doing here?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"I was separated from my son," the old woman said blankly. "They all said he was dead, and I should be dead too, but I never found him - this must be a world of death, right?"
The waiter originally wanted to scold him, but after hearing these words, he couldn't curse, so he muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that the devil is looking for the devil."
The maid also sighed.
There are so many such joys and sorrows, and it can even be said that behind everyone there is a story of blood and tears.
In front of the devil, all living beings are like ants.
But will it always be like this?
Wu Xiaode thought of what happened to him, and then thought of Zhao Zhibing who had been attacked.
It’s hard to defeat the Cyclops!
It's almost impossible.
But now I have learned more and more things.
I am becoming stronger.
——There is no hope forever.
When he thought of this, Wu Xiaode raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said slowly: "I don't know how to call you?"
"I have been selling things in the market all my life, and people call me Mrs. Sun." The old woman said.
"Old Mrs. Sun, listen to me. When it comes to looking for your son, you have to have a full meal before you have the strength to look for him - come and eat first. After eating, maybe you will go to your son's place." Wu Xiaode said.
.
"I have no money."
"Come with me. I need a companion to eat. After dinner, you go find your son and I go to fight. We both have goals worth striving for. How about that?"
"Thank you, young man."
Wu Xiaode helped Old Mrs. Sun walk towards the restaurant.
The waiter looked at him with an expression that looked like he was an idiot and said, "You are so naive. How many hours do you have left? Let me hear it?"
"Don't worry about these, let's arrange the dishes according to the standard of five dishes." Wu Xiaode said.
"You are seeking death yourself——"
Snap!
Wu Xiaode slapped him and sent him flying away.
The door of the restaurant opened immediately.
A man who looked like a shopkeeper jumped out and shouted: "If you cause trouble, you will go to the world of death. I will call the master of security guard——"
"I came to eat, and your waiter said I was looking for death. Do you think this is right?" Wu Xiaode said with a smile.
The shopkeeper paused and glanced at the maid.
The maid nodded.
"Then you can't hit anyone. Hey, wait - are you here to eat?" the shopkeeper said.
"Yes." Wu Xiaode asked.
"Come in, come in! Customers are God, how can we make them unhappy?" the shopkeeper said with a quick smile.
The waiter rushed up and reached out to grab Wu Xiaode.
A bronze hand suddenly appeared from the void, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up in the air.
The waiter struggled hard and tried to dig at the bronze hand with both hands, but he couldn't do anything.
The bronze hand suddenly relaxed.
He fell to the ground and roared: "Damn guy, I must--" today.
"Follow me to the ring?" Wu Xiaode interrupted him with a smile.
The waiter suddenly froze.
"Just go to the ring and fight. I'll send you to the world of death to be a new person. You won't have to quarrel. I'm here to eat."
After Wu Xiaode finished speaking, he helped the old woman walk into the restaurant.
The shopkeeper followed him and said to the waiter without looking back:
"Okay, if you want to fight, go to the ring and don't make trouble in my restaurant. By the way, you're fired."
The restaurant door is closed.
The waiter stood at the door and tried to push it open several times.
He kept standing, and finally looked at the remaining time, but still couldn't muster the courage, so he turned around and left.
Wu Xiaode found a seat by the window and sat down, ordered five dishes, a soup, and a large portion of rice.
"Old Mrs. Sun, we are destined to meet each other, but I can't help you with your matter. Let's eat."
He filled a bowl of rice for the old woman and carried it over with both hands.
"Thank you, young man, but I feel that the world of death is calling me..."
She said anxiously.
"Let's go after eating." Wu Xiaode said while picking up some vegetables.
The old woman hesitated for a long time, picked up the chopsticks on the table, gently picked up a shrimp, put it under her nose and smelled it.
"It smells so good." She smiled.
"Then eat more." Wu Xiaode said.
"Young man, why are there arenas everywhere in this place? Do people like fighting so much nowadays?" the old woman asked.
"No one likes fighting. Of all the ways to solve problems, it is the most thankless." Wu Xiaode said.
"But I think you look like you are ready to fight at any time." The old woman said.
——This old lady is pretty good at talking.
"I never bully others, I will only do it when I am forced to do nothing," Wu Xiaode said.
"So there is another reason?"
"Yes, a giant wants to eat me, but I won't let it eat. We have a falling out. Do you think it is the giant that is right, or me?"
"If that's the case, it's the giant's fault."
"That's right."
Wu Xiaode picked up some food for her and signaled her to eat quickly.
The old woman shook her head and said: "No, I have to find my son. I don't know what he is doing now..."
The voice fell.
The old woman's figure suddenly became transparent.
She smiled and stretched out her hand, pressed Wu Xiaode's wrist, and then disappeared.
Wu Xiaode's chopsticks stopped.
——Is this going to the world of death?
The joys and sorrows of so many people turn out to be nothing in front of this era.
Wu Xiaode picked up the vegetables and buried himself in the rice.
He ate the food with relish, and even asked the shopkeeper to call the chef over and praise him because the food was so good.
——I hope the cook will have a happy day today too.
A moment of effort.
In a hurry, all the dishes on the table were eaten clean.
Wu Xiaode subconsciously looked towards the Book of the Dead.
I saw that the Book of the Dead had been opened, and a few lines of small ice crystal words appeared on the pages:
"You have received a blessing red rope."
"This is a red rope used by people to pray for blessings and safety, and it has blessings in the usual sense."
"——Handmade by Mrs. Sun."
"In addition, you have recovered a little soul power by resting and eating."
"Current soul power: 3/19."
Wu Xiaode glanced at the red rope on his wrist.
——It’s really just an ordinary rope.
But it’s also my intention.
He put down his bowls and chopsticks, stood up, and walked out of the restaurant.
