Chapter 182 - Lie Flat and Let Go

When the sky turned dark, Chen Yu finally rushed back to Tang City.

He walked out of the train station and checked the time on his phone.

It was 7:34 pm.

“I don’t know if I’ll make it in time…”

He randomly found a place to store ‘From Entry To the Grave’. Chen Yu didn’t even bother to take a taxi. He ran out of the city without stopping and headed for the strange land on Bodhi Island.

With his infinite physical strength, he finally arrived at the exotic land square before eight o’clock in the evening.

At this moment, only a group of people came out of the spacious gate, but no one entered.

Even the ticket seller started to organize the tickets and was ready to get off work.

“Stop!”

Chen Yu jumped to the ticket counter and threw out two thousand two hundred yuan. “Beauty, I want to buy a ticket.”

Hearing that, the staff member looked up in surprise. “What are you doing?”

“Buying a ticket. I’m going in.” Chen Yu pointed inside and repeated.

“It’s… It’s already dark. What are you going in for?”

“I’m not coming in during the day. Hurry up, the door will close at eight o’clock. There are still five minutes left. Sell the ticket, sell the ticket.”

“It’s already so late, it’s very dangerous in the alien realm. I suggest you…”

“I suggest you sell tickets, or I’ll file a complaint against you.”

“…Are you crazy?!”

“There are only three minutes left.” Chen Yu looked at his phone impatiently. “If you don’t let me in, I’ll stay at your house tonight.”

“Crazy…” The ticket seller cursed. She took the two thousand two hundred yuan, counted it with the money counter, and tore a ticket. “Go in if you want to die.”

“Thank you for your kind words!”

The ticket seller: “…”

Against the flow of people, Chen Yu ran all the way to the torn space-time door. Under the surprised gazes of many martial artists, he directly jumped in.

Buzz buzz–

After his vision blurred for a short while, Chen Yu’s feet stepped on the ground of the strange realm.

“The sky is dark. It seems to be synchronized with Earth’s time…”

“But…”

Raising his head, Chen Yu looked at the starry night sky. “Why isn’t there a moon? This is different from the strange realm of Qingcheng City. and…”

He carefully identified the oval galaxy in the sky. “This isn’t even the Milky Way…”

“Was my guess wrong at the beginning?”

He thought hard and couldn’t figure it out.

Chen Yu suppressed his growing doubts, lifted his mask, and walked towards the dense forest under the night sky.

“Hey!”

At this moment, many martial artists who had lined up to leave the strange realm greeted Chen Yu when they saw him walking in.

“Where are you going?”

“There’s no light in the forest. Are you courting death?”

“Come back!”

The unity of a group of martial artists in a dangerous area was instinctive.

Chen Yu couldn’t just bury his head and walk away. He could only raise his hand in embarrassment. “I’m going in to look for something.”

“It’s already dark. You won’t be able to find anything. Instead, you’ll lose your life.” A female youth frowned. “Hurry back. I’ll let you cut in.”

Everyone: “Huh?”

“What the hell are you guys thinking? Let him cut in!”

Everyone: “Oh.”

Chen Yu: “I… I better not cut in. I’ll stand at the back.”

As he said that, Chen Yu obediently stood at the end of the line.

After waiting for a few minutes, when he realized that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly retreated, retreated, and retreated… Very quickly, he disappeared into the deepening darkness.

…

At the same time.

In the brightly lit Tang City.

In a dark basement.

“There are only 57 minutes left until the operation.”

The figure in black robes fiddled with the pocket watch in his hand as he said in a hoarse voice, “Damn it, the person in charge of Hotel 92 was actually exposed in advance. Otherwise, we would have been able to transport more exotic beasts in the next few days.”

“I’ve already said that ordinary people can’t be trusted,” another black figure said.

“But it’s still better than some warriors who have repeatedly crossed the line.” The black-robed man stood up, he put the pocket watch necklace back on his neck. “There are too many stupid warriors in the Fair Association. There’s no need to doubt the extinction of the human race. Many people still can’t see the situation clearly. Such a sinful race should have been judged long ago and completely wiped out.”

“Bullsh*t!”

Suddenly, an angry roar came from afar. “The ones who should be wiped out are you bunch of Destruction Faction! You are complete traitors of the human race! The Fair Association has always pursued fairness! It is not a disaster!”

The black-robed man turned his head and looked at the white-robed man who was chained in the corner. “To be honest, as colleagues in the Fair Association, I am very disappointed in you.”

“Ptui.” The white-robed man sneered in disdain.

“It’s impossible for a swan leader to appear among a group of ducks. Your pursuit of fairness is essentially a joke. Human nature is evil, and human nature is violent. Your stomach is full of black ink. How can you dye the world white?”

“You’re too extreme… All of you Destroyers have gone mad…”

“You and I are both humans. There’s no such thing as extreme or not. The only difference is who has a better understanding of human nature. Schopenhauer once said that everyone has hatred, anger, jealousy, resentment, and malice… These things are usually accumulated in their nature, just like the venom stored in the fangs of a poisonous snake. As long as the time is right, they will erupt. As for you…”

The black-robed man walked up to the white-robed man and pinched his chin. “It’s just that the venom hasn’t accumulated enough.”

“What a load of bullsh*t!”

“The summer worm cannot speak ice, and the mantis cannot know spring and autumn.” The black-robed man let go and calmly turned around. “How much longer until the plan is activated?”

“Fifty minutes,” the black shadow answered from the side.

“…It’s about time.” He shook his long robe and walked out of the basement along the stairs. “Let’s go. We’ll leave him here and bury him with the city.”

“Okay. What’s next?”

The black-robed man paused and looked towards the north. “Let’s go to the capital. It’s time to take action against Bahuang Yi.”

Clang!

Hearing these three words, the white-robed man who was bound by the chains immediately struggled furiously. “What are you doing?!”

The two black-robed men did not answer and left directly.

Bahuang Yi could die, but humans could not be exterminated…

…

It was a deep darkness.

There were no waves, no wind, and all was quiet.

Only the rustling sound of Chen Yu’s feet stepping on the grass could be heard.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a cold chill came from behind. Chen Yu stood up straight and did not resist.

Then, he felt his vision blur and entered a wide space of consciousness.

(It’s so late! There really are some courageous people, haha!)

(Wait for the party’s victory!)

(Then I won’t stand on ceremony!)

The Wraith took human form and rubbed his hands excitedly. Then, he pouted and sucked Chen Yu’s spirit.

Chen Yu: “Don’t stand on ceremony.”

[Spirit sucked: Spirit +84]

(Suck, suck, suck, suck…)

[Spirit sucked: Spirit +43]

[Spirit sucked: Spirit +16…]

Not long after, the Wraith sucked themselves dry…

This was already the 22nd Wraith Chen Yu had encountered.

In the dark night, they seemed to be even more active.

Chen Yu’s appearance was no less than throwing a piece of meat in front of the hungry tigers. But no ‘tiger’ would have expected that this piece of meat was actually like this…

Waiting for his consciousness to return, Chen Yu frowned and pondered.

The continuous supply of more than 20 Wraiths had caused his [Spirit] attribute to rapidly increase.

And the ‘surging’ spiritual energy would obviously attract the attention of more Wraiths.

However, this place was very close to the spacetime gateway after all. The powerful Wraiths had all been slaughtered, and there were only a few remaining Wraiths left.

If he wanted to increase the number of times he was attacked by Wraiths, he would have to go deeper into the distance.

The efficiency of ‘stopping and walking’ was too low.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yu decisively controlled the rotation of his dantian and exploded with energy.

Dong!

Following which, his body moved like lightning as he charged forward.

He passed through the dense forest, jumped over the cliffs, passed over the mountains, and stepped over the plains.

With the [Curse]’s ability to lock blood and body, in a short hour, Chen Yu had run nearly 200 kilometers in the complicated primitive terrain.

Gradually, a group of Wraiths followed behind him.

They circled around, looking quite spectacular.

These Wraiths were all ‘collected’ by Chen Yu along the way.

They held on tightly, waiting for this human to run out of energy so that they could swarm up together.

However, an hour had passed. The first group of Wraiths that followed him was all tired from flying, but Chen Yu did not show any signs of fatigue.

“Hey! That guy, don’t fall behind!”

Jumping onto a small hill, Chen Yu stopped for a moment and turned around to look around. He pointed at the Wraith at the end and shouted, “Can you still do it? Look at that little guy next to you. He’s chasing you so hard. And look at you, trash…”

The Wraith: “…”

“Looks like some of my classmates can’t hold on any longer. F*ck, they can’t fly as fast as me. They deserve to starve to death.”

The Wraiths: “…”

Sitting down cross-legged, Chen Yu burned his energy and rested for ten minutes. After observing that the Wraiths seemed to have recovered their ‘physical strength’, he stretched his legs again.

“Brothers, let’s continue on our journey…”

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours…

Climbing mountains and crossing rivers, crossing mountains and ridges.

Chen Yu finally stopped after five hours of running like this.

There were so many Wraiths around him that they were almost tangible.

“Thank you for your hard work. I think some of our brothers are exhausted. Let’s stop here.”

Chen Yu cupped his hands apologetically and found a relatively clean rock. He opened his arms, retracted his energy, and lay down.

“Brothers!”

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go!”

The Wraiths: “…”

“Everyone, come together. I can do it.”
