——————————————

When Gu Xi woke up the next day, he found that Tang Shuang had already left.

Today, Gu Xi had to meet Ms. Gong Lingyu, while Tang Shuang needed to submit her graduation thesis.

Both were quite busy, and since Gu Xi was already somewhat familiar with Yin City, he could handle everything on his own. Tang Shuang didn’t intend to wait for Gu Xi to wake up and left early.

After waking up, the first thing Gu Xi did was take a look at the jade pendant given by Gong Lingyu.

A small line of text appeared on it.

It was the time and place for the gathering later.

Gu Xi sat by the bed in a daze and only came to his senses after about three minutes. After cleaning up, he changed into suitable clothes, donned a black robe, and headed out.

This was the first time Gu Xi went out by himself after arriving at Yin City.

He casually bought some breakfast from a stall by the roadside and ate while heading towards the bus stop.

The road was filled with players rushing to catch buses.

When they’re not gaming, players are somewhat similar to ordinary people, always having many things to do.

Dressed entirely in a black robe, with breakfast in hand, Gu Xi blended into the crowd without attracting any attention.

The address on the jade pendant provided a relatively detailed route. Gu Xi studied it at the bus stop and found the most convenient route to take.

Just then, the people near Gu Xi quickly dispersed.

Gu Xi’s first reaction was to run away but unexpectedly got bumped by someone.

Then a person standing two and a half meters tall in a black robe boarded the bus.

It was a Nidan.

When Gu Xi realized this, everyone else except the driver had already fled from the bus.

They preferred to wait for another bus rather than share one with a Nidan.

Since establishing diplomatic relations with the Nida Race, there have been frequent reports of problems occurring when sharing a bus with a Nidan.

If it’s not a tire bursting, then it’s a mechanical failure.

Anyway, unless it’s dragged out for three to five hours, there’s no resolving the issue quickly.

So when they saw a Nidan board the bus, others would immediately get off, thinking it better to wait another seven or eight minutes than to be stuck for hours.

As for the Nidan, they didn’t care about this. For them, time wasn’t important. The evil Qi generated when fortune was disrupted was immensely significant to the Nidans.

They take pleasure in others’ misfortune and gathering evil Qi, which is what they love doing most.

After realizing it was a Nidan who bumped into him, Gu Xi immediately activated the power of the Netherworld Dragon Robe.

"Hmm?"

Gu Xi felt a stir in his heart, and the Netherworld Dragon Robe Carrier quickly appeared behind him.

It reached out and grabbed Gu Xi forcefully.

Then the White Bone Obelisk appeared over Gu Xi’s head.

Having done all this, Gu Xi saw a thread-like line break in the middle, with the other end facing a bewildered Nidan.

"Damn, I’ve drawn bad fortune onto my own head."

A trace of anger flashed in Gu Xi’s mind.

This guy made a move, so naturally, Gu Xi wouldn’t be polite.

He gently retracted his right hand, and the power of Mind Kill targeted the Nidan.

The bus had already departed, and as the Mind Kill effect activated, the Nidan’s gaze turned away from Gu Xi, his eyes turning red, and he stood up from his seat.

"I don’t want to live anymore."

With that, he reached towards the driver with both hands.

The bus driver felt a twinge of unease, wondering why he was being targeted when he hadn’t done anything to the Nidans.

Had he known he’d encounter such a madman today, he wouldn’t have gone to work.

Thinking that, the driver opened a window in the driver’s compartment, and his body, like a shadow, jumped out through the window.

Meanwhile, the bus didn’t stop and crashed directly into the bridge pier ahead.

The Nidan was still under the effect of Gu Xi’s Mind Kill. When the bus hit, he was standing right at the front of the bus.

The collision made him crash onto the bridge pier like a wave hitting a reef.

This impact was significantly more damaging than Gu Xi’s Mind Kill.

Mind Kill instills a suicidal thought but only deducts 15 Life points at most.

This collision was something that couldn’t be calculated in just 15 Life points.

It immediately cost the Nidan half his life.

Everyone waiting at the bus stop witnessed the scene.

They were all stunned, especially those who had just gotten off that bus, secretly grateful.

It was fortunate they disembarked because of the Nidan, otherwise, they would have been in the car crash.

As they thought this, Gu Xi saw a substantial amount of Qi fortune emanate from the crash site, spreading to everyone nearby.

It was evident that it was the Qi fortune collected by the Nidan. When a Nidan was in trouble, the Qi fortune would leak out and conveniently fall upon ordinary people nearby.

After receiving the Qi fortune, these ordinary people would first convert it into Luck, meaning their luck would peak for some time to come.

Of this, a significant portion of the Qi fortune fell upon Gu Xi.

Gu Xi took no action and let the Netherworld Dragon Robe and White Bone Obelisk collect it.

Compared to Luck Value, Gu Xi had other uses for Qi fortune.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi could also suppress Qi fortune.

So this was a windfall for Gu Xi.

Just then, the bus Gu Xi was waiting for arrived. He glanced at the crashed bus, stuffed the rest of his breakfast into his mouth, and boarded the bus.

The bus was swift, and as it passed the crash site, Gu Xi leaned out to take a look.

He noticed the Nidan crawling out from the wrecked bus.

The black robe covering him was entirely gone, revealing a twisted face beneath.

As Tang Shuang had described, the Nidan’s back was covered in air holes, and their skin had blister-like features.

Having crawled to safety, the Nidan lay semi-prone on the ground, knowing that his Qi fortune had hit rock bottom. It was best to lay low rather than risk further trouble.

Now, he could only wait for the transportation department to handle the situation.

However, while waiting for help, he used his contacts to report the incident.

’I encountered a psychic attack. I’m sure it was influenced by spirit powers; at that moment, I suddenly had a suicidal urge.

I feel this wasn’t just accidental behavior. There’s definitely a conspiracy behind it. I suspect those Octopus Heads we drove into the depths of the game are planning a comeback, and we can’t just watch this unfold...’
