Volume 10 – Chapter 21: Illusion Of Life
How do we put it?
Yu Danqiang had an unremarkable, textbook-like, and ordinary life for the first thirty-five years.
Ordinary junior high school, ordinary high school, ordinary college, and everyday office work. Then, he worked in sales and insurance. He even worked as a community security guard for a few months and later a part-time worker on a construction site. In the end, he became a hawker who sold fish balls in a stall cart.
Yu Danqiang’s old man passed away a few years ago. Now, he still had his mother living in his younger sister’s house. He would meet with them at the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year every year.
He didn’t own any real estate. That place he stayed for a few years had its rent doubled already.
Yu Danqiang wanted to break out of his submissive shell and cussed to the fat lady landlord that “he no longer would rent this awful place.” Sadly, the rent outside was more expensive.
He lived without a girlfriend and usually went to the red light district to deal with his needs.
His everyday life was about managing his fish ball stall. When there were customers, he would freshly boil a few pax of fish balls or serve his readily-made hot and sour noodles [1]. When there was no one by his stall, he would sit down and either read newspapers, read light novels, or watch TV.
His favorite drink was Budweiser [2], his favorite meal was egg noodles downstairs of the apartment, and his favorite place was a foot massage center not far from the apartment.
Since he didn’t have a girlfriend and lived alone, he thought about raising a kitten or a puppy. But, he soon gave up on that idea because it was too troublesome to clean up the pet’s poop.
Since young, Yu Danqiang liked to read a comic called North Star Fist. Though his preference still stayed the same, he felt embarrassed to read the comic in front of the public.
Am I really a loser?
With this thought in mind, Yu Danqiang didn’t have the excitement he imagined when he called over the cute swimsuit girl in front of him. Even if there was excitement in his heart, he didn’t dare to show it.
It’s a young girl who can fly. This place is messed up. It won’t end well. God knows what terrifying means this girl has?
At this time, the girl in the swimsuit set her eyes on the wooden signs in Yu Danqiang’s hand and opened her mouth slightly in surprise, “Eternal Night Talisman? How do you get yourself on that?”
Eternal Night Talisman? Yu Danqiang subconsciously looked at the strange wood talisman he had picked up. This swimsuit girl seemed to recognize it? Yu Danqiang immediately struck an idea, “Little sister, do you recognize this thing? I picked it up by accident. Yes, and then that item brought me to this place. Since you recognize this item, can you send me back to where I came from? I promise that I will never say anything about this place!”
Yu Danqiang was self-aware of being an old loser. He was still aware that he had unknowingly been involved in a terrifying whirlpool. He just wanted to get out of trouble. A loser’s life was better than losing his life.
“Huh, how can you get that item by accident? Do you treat me as an idiot?” The swimsuit girl became irritated.
The girl’s gaze grew fierce, like a sharp sword. Yu Danqiang was terrified by her response and lamented in his heart that this brat was so scary.
“I really picked it up accidentally!” Yu Danqiang quickly explained about the event leading him to this place.
“A fat guy? He can get back to his original shape after being beaten flat. Brother Xiaosheng? Chains…” The swimsuit girl frowned, “I know who’s the fat guy. So, this piece of talisman in your hand is his possession. But I am surprised. How did you, an ordinary person, activate the Eternal Night Talisman and enter this crack? As for the chain you mentioned…”
Every question the swimsuit girl asked turned Yu Danqiang’s face gloomier. He didn’t know what to say to escape from this trouble.
Yu Danqiang was truthfully the definition of mediocrity. Worse still, he was undoubtedly an old loser. His only merit would probably be that he had a genuine soul as a human being.
“I got it now.” The swimsuit girl relaxed her brows.
Yu Danqiang forwent his fear and asked curiously. “What do you understand?”
“That guy Dong Zhuo might have encountered some trouble at the time, so he planned to launch Eternal Night Talisman to return. But, he failed in the end. Brother Xiaosheng, who you have mentioned, stalled him. That was how you got your hands on the Eternal Night Talisman. “
Yu Danqiang said, “But I don’t know how to use this thing? Could it be… Is it because I have a unique physique mentioned in the legend so that I can activate this thing by myself?”
“There’s just an illusion of life, thinking that you’re the main hero.” The swimsuit girl said indifferently, “After the Eternal Night Talisman is activated, it won’t stop on its own. Since Dong Zhuo left, the item is still activated. It just so happens that you picked up the item and got teleported here. Don’t overthink it. From every angle and inside out, you lacked the talent and essence for it. You are indeed just a loser.”
I’m so sorry!
“Fine, anyway, I’m just a worthless loser. Could you send me back? I promise I won’t say anything.” Yu Danqiang patted his chest and said, “I’m not good at anything but keeping secrets is my strength!”
The swimsuit girl said blankly, “Can you do that better than the dead?”
Immediately, chills surged from the sole to his head. Yu Danqiang felt as if he was thrown into a cold storage room, with his legs trembling.
But at this moment, a sharp shriek suddenly sounded behind Yu Danqiang, making his ears hurt. He turned his head instinctively.
In the endless void filled with primal chaos in front of this platform, flocks of terrifying creatures flew densely.
They were humanoids, but also like monsters crafted from mud. Behind them were rotten bat-like wings. There weren’t any discernible facial features but hollow faces.
“These… What are those!!!” Yu Danqiang got up, trembling all over.
This is so horrifying!
Like doomsday!
These monsters were densely packed and uncountable. They were approaching Yu Danqiang. It reminded Yu Danqiang of the film – Locusts: Day of Destruction [3]!
“Primal Void Demon, the unique life forms existed between cracks. They can be seen everywhere here.” The swimsuit girl said calmly, “But, it has been a long time since I encountered them on this scale.”
“You…” Yu Danqiang suddenly thought of the fat man who couldn’t be killed, “Are they your enemies? They’re here for you, right?”
The swimsuit girl looked at Yu Danqiang and said, “Nope, you have drawn those Primal Void Demon. You are a genuine soul. For the Primal Void Demon, you’re the best delicacy in the world. I’m afraid that once you appear, all the wandering Primal Void Demon nearby can smell you.”
Yu Danqiang stepped back subconsciously, approaching the girl in the swimsuit. But, he was stopped by the girl’s cold snort. He halted his approaching steps in fear and could only plead, “Help me…”
But the girl in the swimsuit said nothing. Her eyes were full of indifference.
Yu Danqiang’s heart palpitated. These terrifying monsters would be hunting him down because he overstepped in their home ground.
So, would the vast palaces on this platform go to war with these monsters often? She would be displeased since I drew them here, after all.
Will I die?
Yu Danqiang knelt on the ground all of a sudden with his eyes full of despair. Facing the inching monsters, Yu Danqiang could even imagine the horror when he was torn and swallowed by these monsters in the next moment.
Tch, I’m an old loser in the end.
At this time, among many Primal Void Demons, a more terrifying and sharper roar sounded!
That flock of Primal Void Demons stepped aside at this time, seemingly in fear. At the same time, a giant monster that was more than ten times the size of these Void Demon rushed from behind!
“Oh? Even the Primal Void Master is here?” The swimsuit girl looked up, “It seems that you beasts have been hungry for too long, and even the most ordinary genuine soul attracts you all?”
The monster that was ten folds in size was utterly different from other Primal Void Demons, resembling a rotting western dragon.
At this moment, the Void Master snarled frantically at the swimsuit girl. Its wings suddenly spread. At the same time, it opened its colossal mouth and spat out a gray ball of light.
The girl in the swimsuit was unfazed. Facing the substantial gray ball of light head-on, she merely whispered, “Gan Jiang, Mo Xie. [4]“
At this time, two quaint longswords appeared on the left and right of the girl in the swimsuit. The longswords swung on their own and launched towards the gray ball of light, piercing the light ball straight away!
Yu Danqiang didn’t know if this gray ball of light was powerful, but he knew that this Primal Void Master must be terrifying. Otherwise, how could it make many Primal Void Demons give way? Even if only one Primal Void Demon were released to society, everyone would be terrified!
The two quaint longswords burst the ball of light directly at this time. They did not lose their momentum, heading directly toward the Primal Void Master’s head!
The Primal Void Master seemed unable to dodge. Its rotten wings were cut in half by the two swords. It uttered a stern cry, and the immense Primal Void Demon flock went into a frenzy. They all swooshed toward the swimsuit girl.
The swimsuit girl snorted again. The two quaint long swords returned like a boomerang in the void filled with primal chaos!
The sword multiplied on its own and evolved into hundreds of glaring sword lights! The sword lights formed groups of four, with each group spinning like wheels rapidly. Then, they all spread out on top of this vast platform!
These sword light wheels crazily cut down countless Primal Void Demons!
With a large number of Primal Void Demons slew, tormentful screams echoed in the arena. Facing the endless screams, Yu Danqiang’s face was ashen. In the end, he even forgot to be afraid. He just looked at the invincible swimsuit girl from the back.
After a miserable shriek, the colossal Primal Void Master had already moved away from this place, seemingly to flee for its life. As for the attracted Primal Void Demons, all of them were slain under the swimsuit girl’s swords at this moment.
Eventually, all the sword light dissipated. They turned into two simple longswords and fell back to the girl’s side. She looked at the escaping Primal Void Master from a distance, frowned, and murmured, “Among the ten famous swords, nine of them are in my hands. If I can get Zhan Lu, this sword wheel dance will be perfect. At that time, even if I face the Primal Void Ancestor above the Primal Void Master…”
“You…who are you?” Yu Danqiang looked at the girl with awe.
“I’m the Yue State’s thirty-seventh generation grandchild Ou Yezi – Zang Jian!”
…
Yu Danqiang didn’t care about whose granddaughter this girl was. He was just afraid that those terrifying monsters would come again. If the girl didn’t make a move at that time, he would be dead!
“Well… will they come again?” said Yu Danqiang sobbingly.
“I have injured the Primal Void Master, so it won’t dare to come again for a short time.” The swimsuit girl said calmly at this time, “But the Primal Void Demon acts on instinct. There are endless Primal Void Demons in this crack. Even if it is in a distant place, it will be a matter of time to find you.”
Then, you got to send me away!
Or, would this girl kill me out for convenience?
Yu Danqiang shivered in fear again.
Unexpectedly, Zang Sword suddenly assessed Yu Danqiang at this time and said abruptly, “Your genuine soul may have some great origin. Otherwise, the Primal Void Master won’t be drawn over. It can sense threat. But it still came, knowing that the Eternal Night Palace isn’t a place that it can easily offend.”
“You… What do you want to do?” Yu Danqiang had a bad hunch.
“I will grab you as bait to kill the Void Demons and replenish the Eternal Night Palace!”
Yu Danqiang opened his mouth but saw the monster corpses that fell on the platform after being beheaded. At this time, they melted little by little and finally seeped into this huge sapphire platform. It was like the platform digesting them!
Damn it!
Yu Danqiang suddenly felt like a piece of bacon on the desert for the hunter to lure prey.
I want to go home! What happens to the legendary cheat?
…
Since Luo Qiu came to this country in South America for the sake of finding his origin, he would naturally not stay in the club all day.
It was 7:20 p.m. Luo Qiu wore a tuxedo in the lobby. At this time, the maid, who was wearing an evening dress, slowly walked down the stairs with a smile on her face.
Luo Qiu also smiled at this time, “Speaking of which, this is the first time we’re attending a musical concert.”
With that said, the boss took out an extra booklet in his hand. It was a brochure for the musical concert, which introduced the performer’s background, as well as a schedule.
The maid’s hand gently wrapped around the boss’s arm, and the two of them went out like this.
Wearing a formal dress would naturally be inconvenient to hurry their pace. But for Boss Luo, he could move freely within the limits of this city.
Naturally, there was no need for an invitation letter or something.
As the duo sauntered while holding hands, they stepped into the corridor in the Municipal Theater.
The orange light illuminated the surroundings. The temperature of the air conditioner was just right. Otherwise, the formal wear would render the man in a sorry state before the main event starts.
“It starts at 8 o’clock.” You Ye looked around, then whispered beside the boss.
Luo Qiu nodded, but his eyes turned to one side.
Under the dim lights, Song Haoran was watching the time on his arm.
He was still handsome today. This attractive smile couldn’t help but remind Luo Qiu of his father.
That face that could only be seen in the photo now.
“Are you going to say hello?” asked the maid softly.
The duo could only be noticed if they decided to reveal themselves.
Luo Qiu shook his head, “My uncle should have something to do. We shouldn’t interrupt during other people’s working hours. Let’s keep the most basic politeness.”
With that, the boss led the female companion tonight into the concert hall.
Song Haoran covered his arms with his sleeves at this time, then frowned. He looked at the entrance of the corridor ahead in confusion and found nothing.
Then, he heard the crisp knocking sound on the floor. This sound wasn’t unfamiliar to Song Haoran; it was the sound of walking in high heels.
Lluvia wore a fiery red suspender dress. Her hair was curled up, and her proud figure attracted a lot of attention.
It was just that she walked slowly while supporting herself with the wall.
Song Haoran looked at her and greeted her with a smile. Lluvia seemed to be hasting up her pace, but she suddenly lost footing and rushed towards Song Haoran.
From a distance, it was a lady who was not used to wearing high heels and could not maintain her balance.
But Lluvia, who threw himself into Song Haoran’s arms, whispered, “Military advisor, O’Neill has successfully sneaked in. Next…”
However, before Lluvia finished her words, Song Haoran put his finger against Lluvia’s lips, “Let’s enjoy the pleasure of the first half of the concert first. This is a genuine masterpiece performance, which is a rare chance to enjoy it.”
