Mu and Qing withdrew their gaze from Guo Ren's tattoo, lowered their heads, and fiddled with the tableware beside them.
"Qing, let's go, let them talk." Deng Qian thought Mu and Qing were intimidated by Guo Ren's imposing manner, so she immediately suggested taking Mu and Qing away.
Mu and Qing shook their heads. "I'm quite curious about what happened, but I don't know if you can tell us."
Her knuckles turned white as she gripped the cutlery.
"What? What happened?" Guo Ren looked exhausted, as if he was extremely tired.
Ah Jing recounted what had just happened.
"That's pretty much what Boss Jing said, that's how it is. I can't stand Ding Bao, he's not good enough, but he likes to show off. After losing, he lost his income and ended up in that situation, which is his own fault." Guo Ren paused for a long time after each sentence, as if he was expending a lot of effort.
Deng Qian frowned. There were too many inexplicable things in Guo Ren's story. For example, why Ding Bao suddenly became stronger, and why he was suddenly defeated by Guo Ren, were all too puzzling.
However, that's their business, and she doesn't need to be too curious.
"I came here this time hoping to ask Boss Jing to take me in. I have nowhere else to go," Guo Ren said with a wry smile.
Boss A-Jing nodded, "It's alright, brother, you can rest here for a while."
Out of consideration for Guo Ren's desire to avenge his past brothers, Ah Jing will definitely help him to the end.
Guo Ren was extremely grateful, but his hand unconsciously touched the tattoo on his upper right arm.
Mu Heqing noticed this but didn't point it out. She returned to Ancheng secretly. Jiang Mu said that Bao Yan had been watching her downstairs in her hospital room, but when she went downstairs, Bao Yan was no longer there.
After finishing her meal, Deng Qian still had to go to work. The barbecue restaurant where she worked was not far from A Jing's shop; it was just a few steps away.
Deng Qian told Mu and Qing to contact her if they needed anything, and not to keep it to themselves, or she would tell her mother.
Mu Heqing's mother is her nemesis. After her last birthday, Deng Qian contacted Mu Heqing's mother. Helpless, she could only agree again and again.
Deng Qian put her headscarf back on and began preparing for the evening barbecue. Mu and Qing didn't want to disturb her, so they said goodbye and left on their own.
She walked slowly along the roadside, not in a hurry to go home. This time, she still hadn't achieved her goal, and she even found Nightmare tattoos on other people.
According to Boss A-Jing, Ding Bao's transformation many years ago may have been due to gaining the power of the Nightmare.
Like Sifei, Baoyan can also lend his abilities to others. He must have lent his power to Ding Bao. But why did Ding Bao later lose to Guo Ren, and why did Guo Ren get Baoyan's tattoo?
However, based on this incident, Mu and Qing knew that after she left No. 13 Middle School, the other guys also left. Those guys were scattered all over the world, and now they were gradually gathering towards her.
It seems necessary to contact the principal, the guy who has maintained contact with her for seven years.
Mu and Qing walked to a street corner where there were no cars or people. She took out her phone and nervously dialed the number she had kept in her heart for seven years.
The phone rang a few times, but no one answered.
Mu and Qing dialed again, but still no one answered.
Did she remember it wrong? Or did he change his phone number?
To prevent herself from forgetting, Mu Heqing wrote down the principal's phone number in a notebook, which she kept in her current rented apartment.
She thought, "I'll go back and take another look."
What if she remembered it wrong?
Mu Heqing sighed and prepared to take a bus back. There was a bus stop nearby, very close to her, so she walked over slowly.
To be honest, she didn't want to contact the principal either; she was annoyed by any of them.
"I'll give you anything you want! Just give me your power again!" A weeping voice came from the corner.
Mu and Qing looked curiously toward the source of the sound.
Who else could it be but Ding Bao kneeling on the ground crying?
Ding Bao's face was streaked with tears, and snot was running everywhere. His domineering face was filled with humble pleading.
Standing in front of him was a tall figure, with his back to Mu and Qing, and his upper body bare.
Mu and Qing pursed their lips and quickened their pace to leave.
Let's pretend we didn't see it.
But it was as if he had eyes in the back of his head. As soon as Mu and Qing passed by, he immediately turned around and exclaimed happily, "He Qing!"
Upon seeing the face of the Nightmare, Mu and Qing recalled their experience of using Si Fei's abilities, and a faint nausea rose in their throats.
This isn't Mu and Qing targeting the Nightmare, it's just a physiological reaction, there's nothing they can do about it.
Mu Heqing had no reason to stay where she was, so she... started running.
As a result, of course, they couldn't outrun the Nightmare.
The Nightmare quickly caught up with her. He bent down slightly, swiftly approached Mu Heqing, grabbed her waist with both hands, and lifted her up.
Mu Heqing felt like a puppy being pinched under the armpits. She turned her head away, trying her best not to look at his face.
"Why do you run away when you see me?" Bao Yan tilted his head in confusion, his eyes slanted upwards, revealing a flirtatious air even in his expression of doubt.
“You know why,” Mu Heqing said.
Bao Yan asked with a pained expression, "Is it not ready yet?"
It's almost become a conditioned reflex; I doubt it'll get better.
Bao Yan held Mu Heqing up, bringing her close to his face, and said, "Take a look, and you'll get used to it."
"Put me down first." Mu Heqing said expressionlessly.
Mu and Qing are being held up by a shirtless man on the street; they'll be on Ancheng's front page tomorrow.
“Heqing, look at your brother’s face again, and you’ll stop feeling nauseous soon.” Baoyan firmly believed in desensitization therapy and refused to put Mu Heqing down.
The main problem was that he was too tall, probably over 2 meters. Once Mu and Qing were put down, she couldn't see his face clearly anymore.
If Mu and Qing feel like vomiting just looking at his face, then what's the point of him?
If I had known, I wouldn't have squatted down to enter the game in the first place.
Oh, that doesn't seem right either. Wouldn't that make her want to vomit whenever she sees his upper body? He would be very sad that way too.
It's all Sifei's fault. Her abilities have too many side effects and are completely unsuitable for Qing, unlike his abilities, which are useful and have no side effects.
Mu Heqing lowered her head, looking pale. She swung her legs, experiencing the feeling of being over two meters tall for the first time in a long time.
"If you don't put me down, I'll throw up right in front of you." Mu Heqing said dangerously.
The Nightmare could only put Mu and Qing down; he didn't want to see her vomit in his face again.
As soon as Mu and Qing landed, they quickly walked to the other side.
"He Qing, why are you walking so fast? Where are you going?" Bao Yan was tall and had long legs, so Mu He Qing could take a few steps as fast as him.
Mu and Qing pointed to a milk tea shop on the street and said, "Let's go buy that."
She was still feeling a bit unwell, so she bought an iced lemon tea to cheer herself up.
"I'll buy it for you, brother," said Baoyan.
Mu Heqing asked suspiciously, "You have money?"
The Nightmare was wearing only a thin pair of long trousers without pockets, and he didn't look like a wealthy person.
"Does it cost money?" Violent Nightmare was even more puzzled than she was.
With him standing there, who would dare not give him something?
Mu and Qing ignored him and took out their phones to scan the QR code and order an iced lemon tea.
The young lady in the milk tea shop was cutting lemons while secretly watching the Nightmare.
She had never seen such a strange person before. Although he had a good figure, it was still unusual for him to expose his upper body in broad daylight. Moreover, this person was extremely tall and looked like he could fight very well.
The young woman sliced the lemon a little faster; subconsciously, she didn't want to see this person, even though he had a handsome face.
Mu and Qing were stunned when they received the lemon tea. The speed was too fast. This milk tea shop can serve food in seconds.
She glanced at the Nightmare, who was standing to the side with his arms crossed, looking around boredly, and instantly understood.
She has to go back next; surely the Nightmare doesn't intend to follow her forever.
My head hurts.
"You know my home address, right?" Mu Heqing felt that she couldn't let the Nightmare follow her anymore.
Just as the Nightmare was about to nod, he suddenly remembered something and shook his head.
Mu Heqing narrowed his eyes sharply, "You were about to nod just now, weren't you?"
"Really?" Nightmare feigned ignorance.
"Don't follow me from here on out. Wait for me at my house. I have some questions for you."
She couldn't get rid of the Nightmare, but she couldn't let it follow her forever; she really didn't want to make headlines.
They must be hiding something from her. Since her good friend Baoyan is away, she should start with him.
It's because Nightmare Demons are generally too lazy to use their brains.
…………
Ding Bao tried to get up from the ground, but failed several times. He was used to a life of extravagance and debauchery, had no money, and was unpopular; no one was willing to help him.
He hasn't had a proper meal in ages; he's mostly eaten leftovers.
From heaven to hell, it only takes a moment.
Countless people fell beneath his fists. Countless others beamed with joy at the sight of the money in his hand.
"If I had that power again, let's see if you would dare to treat me like this." Ding Bao's face was full of resentment.
He didn't understand why Guo Ren was targeting him when they had no grudge against each other.
Guo Ren actually found "him" and obtained power from "him". Guo Ren, who also possessed power, was much stronger than him.
He was defeated so easily.
After so many years, he collapsed on the stage once again, hearing boos from the entire audience, but no applause, no laughter. He was a stray dog.
Even Ah Jing didn't want to see him anymore and actually kicked him out of the store. It was just that he accidentally killed Xiao Wan, but he still holds a grudge to this day.
Xiao Wan was outmatched; she deserved to die.
And that woman, she actually dared to hit him, he must get revenge.
If only he could regain that power.
He finally found "him," but "he" said he was unworthy and that he was useless.
He's a useless piece of trash because he can't beat Guo Ren.
His disdainful tone was as if he were talking to an insect.
Damn it! Damn it!
These people all deserve to die, they all deserve to die.
Xiao Wan deserves to die, Guo Ren deserves to die, A Jing deserves to die, and that woman who punched him to the ground deserves to die too.
Go to hell, go to hell, all of you go to hell.
Ding Bao cursed inwardly, feeling utterly weak and unable to get up.
He was so hungry that he thought of his past, when a crowd surrounded him, placing him at the center, marveling at his strength and wealth.
He stood on the stage, and just by standing there, the words on his arm gave him boundless power. With just a light punch, no matter how strong a person was, they would fall to the ground.
They could only lie on the ground and look at him as if he were an emperor.
I long to have that power again.
He suddenly remembered the woman "he" had called out to earlier; they seemed to know each other well.
Why did that woman look somewhat familiar to him?
Where did he see her before?
Oh, he remembered, wasn't that the woman standing next to the woman who knocked him down?
Hahaha.
He found out.
Ding Bao suddenly felt full of energy, his ashen face lit up, and he stood up abruptly.
