Chapter 126 Truly Full
The White Bone Demon looked at the young man, ignoring Zhang Qing and the faceless wooden sculpture.
He's a complete waste. The lightning strike just now exhausted his last bit of strength, leaving him utterly powerless to resist.
He's still young and at his peak, only slightly inferior to the old bastard.
Fate is truly a team full of cunning and resourceful individuals; each one of them has been raised so well that they look incredibly delicious.
"What are you?"
The young man looked at the White Bone Demon, another strange creature that played with silk threads.
Why was there no information before?
Zhang Qing's pupils constricted as he stared at the familiar face, exclaiming incredulously, "How could it be you?"
"Unexpected? Surprised? I love that look on your face."
The White Bone Demon grinned.
"Are you in cahoots?"
The young man concealed his gaze, his body swirling with an eerie aura. His body twisted, becoming as thin as paper, weaving through the gaps in the silk threads, transforming into a paper blade, and slashing towards the White Bone Demon.
"The space within your painting is quite good; at least it can temporarily isolate my power from their detection."
Gu Bai reached out his hand, and a rich blue light appeared, causing cracks to appear in the space within the painting.
The hand seemed to span space, gripping the young man's throat.
A black paper figure flew out from above the young man's head and crashed into the White Bone Demon.
The White Bone Demon opened her mouth, and a crunching sound rang out, sending chills down one's spine.
"You—pfft—"
The young man's body returned to normal, but he spit out blood from his mouth.
The freak died, and as a symbiote, it was also severely injured and its life hung by a thread.
The silk thread was injected into the young man's body, and the corpse quickly shriveled up.
"It smells so good! I haven't eaten this much in ages, *burp*."
The White Bone Demon let out a satisfied burp before turning to Zhang Qing: "Thank you for keeping your promise and sparing my life. That's why I waited until now to have one more."
"They didn't suspect you at all?" Zhang Qing was stunned.
The faceless wooden sculpture trembled, radiating fear.
He realized that if he had really attacked this guy back then, he probably would have found him and eaten him long ago, instead of waiting until today.
"Of course they suspected me and tested me, but I cleverly dodged them all." Gu Bai smiled and said, "I'm different from you. I'm very careful when I hunt for food, unlike you, who make a big fuss, as if you're afraid that humans won't attack you."
"Come on." Zhang Qing's expression was bitter; it turned out he had already learned this guy's recipe.
beg for mercy?
How could I possibly let go of such a delicious meal that I've already got my hands on?
"No rush, let it touch it first." Gu Bai pointed to the silk thread.
Zhang Qing said coldly, "What, steamed or braised? You want to change the way you eat it?"
"Your face might come in handy later." Gu Bai reached out and touched his face. "After all, it's also a thread, which can perfectly adorn you, can't it?"
"You're really insidious." Zhang Qing's eyes widened.
"If you don't mind, how about we talk about fate?" Gu Bai said. "After all, I'm planning to take your identity, so I can't be completely ignorant about it."
Why should I tell you?
"The orphanage," Gu Bai said quietly, "They trust me a lot, and you don't want anything to happen to the director, do you? Oh, and there's Qin Dayou. Without me, do you think he could have made it back to Jiangcheng alive?"
"Tsk, you and Zhang Qingguan fought to the death, but you never thought about actually killing Chen Sandao, did you? After all, if you're going to make a move, you don't have to wait for him to come back."
"I can also promise to use your identity to beat up Zhang Qingguan a few times in the future, which would fulfill your wish. Killing him is not out of the question either."
"If you really wanted to kill him, why would you have waited until now? Why didn't you kill him when the new district was a scene of debauchery?"
Zhang Qing's eyes flickered: "I know, it's Tai Sui. That battle of wine pool and meat forest was all for your benefit."
"Very smart, but it's a pity you know too much," Gu Bai said calmly. "I don't have time to waste here with you; I need to go back to sleep."
"The members of Destiny are spread throughout Jianghan Province. We do not know each other's identities. Only the inviter knows the identity of the invitee."
I was adopted by a farmer in Yishan City. When they saw that I knew how to make shadow puppets, they forced me to go to the mountains to perform and earn money.
"They dared not let me go to the city, fearing I would run away. Apart from performing, they kept me locked in a room deep in the mountains, where I could cry out to heaven and earth in vain."
Until I encountered it, I felt blessed by the heavens, that I had gained extraordinary power. I killed them, but soon suspicion fell on me, so I had no choice but to keep killing.
"Until I met a rich young man who was also strange, he invited me to join his destiny, and I helped him kill many people."
Later, I investigated him and only knew that he came from Jiangcheng city, but I didn't know his specific identity.
"Just because someone suspected you, you killed 127 people? You really are ruthless." Gu Bai sneered, then asked, "You really didn't know who that person was?"
What utter nonsense about killing because of suspicion! Isn't it all about yang and yin energy?
That eerie aura likely meant it didn't even spare the corpses of its victims.
"Those who are destined for greatness all conceal their identities, just like you, who have taken on the disguise of someone else's identity."
Zhang Qing said, "It's too easy for us to impersonate others. How could ordinary law enforcement detect that?"
Gu Bai nodded. That was indeed the case. Once one reached a point where their Yin energy was no longer visible, blending into the crowd and hiding oneself would be too easy.
Just like this time, if Zhang Qing hadn't come out, Zhang Qingguan would have had a hard time finding him.
"How much else do you know?" Gu Bai asked.
"I don't know exactly how many people are connected by fate. In our daily interactions, we are either the inviter or the invitee."
Zhang Qing recalled: "I attended a party once, there were five members: the paper figure, the painting and me, and two others. One of them was my inviter, and I don't know the other one, but he might have been the inviter."
Even in these gatherings of destiny, identities are concealed and not revealed.
Once your true identity is revealed, you may become their prey.
"So how do you usually contact the person who invited you?" Gu Bai asked.
"He knows my identity and is stronger than me. I can't hide it from him," Zhang Qing said, shaking his head.
Gu Bai pondered for a moment and said, "If he wants to contact you again, how should I respond?"
"He won't contact me again," Zhang Qing said. "He's as cautious as you, and he hides himself very well. Whether I survive or not, he'll cut off some contact, since I don't know his true identity, and not contacting him will prevent him from being exposed."
"What a pity, I was hoping to see it." Gu Bai said with some regret, feeling like he had missed out on a luxury meal.
"If you really want to find them, you can try going to Yunwu Tea House; they will definitely come."
"Yunwu Tea House?"
"That's right, those secretly supporting Yunhe in Sichuan Province all want a piece of this lucrative territory," Zhang Qing said.
Yunhe was incredibly wealthy; his wealth, which was out in the open, was like a beacon in the darkness, attracting both humans and monsters.
"Alright, I've got you under control. Is there anything you still want to do?" Gu Bai said, "I still have humanity. As long as it's not too difficult, don't mention it. If it is, then don't say anything."
"Given my status, I should beat Zhang Qingguan at least three times," Zhang Qing said. "I'd better step over him and beat him up."
"No problem." Gu Bai nodded; it wasn't difficult.
Having figured out Zhang Qingguan's situation, as long as we're sure he doesn't have a bunch of grenades, it'll be easy to fight him; if he does, we'll retreat.
Zhang Qing glanced at the faceless wooden carving, then suddenly manipulated the silk threads, piercing through his own chest, while simultaneously unleashing a bolt of lightning from his hand towards Gu Bai.
I knew you wouldn't behave.
Gu Bai pressed down on the faceless wooden sculpture with one hand: "Food should be aware of its own worth. You've only just regained a little strength and you think you can escape the dining table."
Erasing all traces, a cold wind blows, and everything vanishes with the wind.
The White Bone Demon returned to Wudang Mountain, lay on the ground, waiting for someone to rescue her, and then burped—she was truly full.
