"Go ahead and fight, keep fighting, you fucking admit defeat!"

"Damn it, give me my money back!"

"Go to hell with number 444, why don't you just die?"

Vulgar curses filled my ears.

More than 90 percent of the people bet on Bai Yucheng to win, but before the game had even started, Bai Yucheng raised his hand and conceded defeat.

This gesture of surrendering means that, if the opponent so desires, they could easily crush him to death.

These onlookers who support Bai Yucheng feel like they've been tricked, and they can't swallow this insult.

Some people were furious and started throwing things at Bai Yucheng, while others rushed towards him, seemingly wanting to harm him.

These people were all stopped by the people in the dueling arena.

"This way."

The referee calmly led Qin Tan and Bai Yucheng off the stage.

After entering the athletes' rest area, you can hear the excited shouts outside.

Aren't you afraid those people will kill you?

Qin Tan asked the other person curiously.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not coming back anyway."

"I'm not selling myself here."

Even vulgar words can be truths.

Bai Yucheng looked at Qin Tancai and said, "Speak, what do you want from me? You don't have any intention of killing me."

Surprisingly, he quite liked this method of deliberately causing trouble at their doorstep.

"I'd like to invite you to participate in Project Dawn." Just as Qin Tan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

When the door was opened, Xia Shuang, holding the princess, was outside.

“Project Dawn, you are the people of the Sun God. I’ve said it before, I’d rather die than be a dog of the Sun God.”

Once outsiders were gone, Bai Yucheng stopped pretending.

His volatile temper was on full display.

He glared at the two of them, displaying an unyielding attitude that said, "Even if you kill me, I won't back down."

"We do not represent the sun god."

Xia Shuang explained.

"To be precise, we are in charge of this Dawn Project. If you are willing to participate, I guarantee that you will only be responsible to the two of us for this project."

"As for the others, if they offend you during the operation, you can take action at any time."

"If you can kill a few more of the Sun God's people, I will be very grateful."

These words of shared hatred dispelled Bai Yucheng's hostility.

He looked at the two of them carefully to make sure they weren't lying, then sat down and crossed his legs.

"I believe in your stance, but what do you have to offer to sway me?"

"Merchants don't get up early for nothing. Although I'm not a businessman, I'm an assassin, and assassins also pay to live."

"I won't lower myself to offer something for free."

Bai Yucheng spoke eloquently, pointing at Qin Tan and the other man as he sat down and started raising the price.

In response, Xia Shuang simply took a step back, while Qin Tan drew his Death Scythe.

The princess perched on Qin Tan's shoulder, her cold gaze looking down at Bai Yucheng.

Bai Yucheng's arm, resting on the chair, tensed. This time, he felt a genuine killing intent.

"We need what you have. If you're unwilling, we'll have to take it by force."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yucheng laughed in anger.

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are being shameless."

"Put it away, put this dangerous thing away immediately."

He pushed the scythe away from him and resumed his relaxed posture.

"I agree."

He still wanted to live as long as he didn't have to be the sun god's dog.

"So, tell me about what happened to you outside the wall last time."

Xia Shuang sat down as well, asking questions with an air of leisure, her demeanor more like that of a queen than a negotiator.

Unfortunately, Bai Yucheng had no choice.

What a joke, he didn't even feel the icy needle on his back.

What version of this story have you heard?

When this was mentioned, Bai Yucheng smiled, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"The report from the Sun God says that five of them died at your hands."

Xia Shuang told the truth.

Of the nine-person team, only Bai Yucheng survived.

How could he not arouse suspicion?

In addition, the information he provided was incomplete and fragmented, which is why the people of the Sun God always wanted to obtain Bai Yucheng.

One of the reasons Bai Yucheng hid here was that it was a sufficiently "public" place.

His identity involves the interests of many clients here, including some who have connections with the Sun God.

So he is still alive.

Today he has left this place, and the people of the Sun God will not show him mercy.

This is also why he accepted Xia Shuang's offer to recruit him.

Why die when you can live?

That's not accurate.

"To be precise, the other eight people all died at 'my' hands."

Qin Tan noticed the strangeness in the other person's choice of words.

That "I" carries a deeper meaning.

Disappointed at not seeing the fear he was looking for on either of their faces, Bai Yucheng continued speaking.

“In the area we were exploring, we encountered something eerie that has never been seen in a city before.”

"It can disguise itself as a human; to be precise, except for the inability to have the same emotions as humans, it is no different from humans in every other way."

"When they first appeared, they were a white shadow, floating like clouds and smoke, without any distinguishing features."

"It will always stay by your side, you can't get rid of it, and it won't attack you either."

Bai Yucheng was lost in his memories.

At first, everyone was wary of the appearance of these things, and they conducted various studies, only to find that these things were not malicious towards humans.

They seem to be unconsciously imitating humans.

This piqued the team's interest in this "creature," causing them to overlook the dangers of the unknown.
