Chapter 40 40. Jumping off the building
Xia Feng had just casually searched for knowledge in this area, but unexpectedly discovered this storage device that was 80% similar to the 'Pingshan Pocket Watch' from the vast amount of information fragments.
It was an unexpected gain.
He curiously clicked on the personal page of the person who posted the picture. This person had not posted for several years, but one of the daily photos with the caption "Get up early and eat steamed buns" caught Xia Feng's attention.
The scene in the photo is a breakfast shop called "Aunt Lu's Steamed Bun Shop". Judging from the decoration style, it seems to be located in a slum area.
Soon, he found the location of the store.
"Blood Street?"
Xia Feng was stunned. He had heard that this area was the one with the highest incidence of supernatural events in recent years. Crimes committed by spiritual masters and evil beasts were rampant. People died almost every day. It was a paradise for criminals.
I remember that the last time we traded the Infinite Stone, Mu Qingtong killed someone on Xue'e Street, and was then chased all the way to Weiyang College by agents from the Holy Department.
Xia Feng stared at a small black-gold stone the size of half a fingernail on the table, rubbing his chin and falling into deep thought.
Originally, he was planning to ask Mu Qingtong to purchase it for him at a 20% premium, but he didn't expect that the Wuliang Stone in the underground channel would be swept away by a suspected cult force.
This is a bit difficult.
Xia Feng rubbed his brows and gritted his teeth. If I find out which evil cult this is, I will rob you of everything!
He thought fiercely about the unrealistic dream and glanced at the time.
[Activity remaining: 4 days and 8 hours]
Adding the remaining 1g of the Infinite Stone, there are a total of eleven days of life left. Although there is still plenty of time, Xia Feng feels inexplicably irritated.
Although I intuitively feel that the Demon Heart will be of great use after it is repaired, it is not a good idea to be bound by the Demon Heart like this all the time. I have to think of a permanent solution!
For example, getting a large amount of infinite stones?
In this way, he could enter the evil dragon space and absorb dragons every day. Xia Feng had another unrealistic dream.
“Sizzle——”
He stood up and carefully placed the remaining Wuliang Stone into Pingshan's pocket watch and covered it. He put on a coat and hurried out.
You can dream, but it’s more important to focus on reality now.
Pingshan's pocket watch is a device for storing the Wuliang Stone. This is the only clue related to the Wuliang Stone now. He feels that he must go to "Aunt Lu's Bun Shop" to take a look.
*
Bloody Street does not refer to just one street, but the general name for 19 streets adjacent to the Final Great Wall.
Due to unknown reasons, the space of Bloody Street is extremely unstable. Evil beasts often break into the real world from the gray world, killing or eating people in the Bloody Street area, resulting in frequent bloodshed, hence the name Bloody Street.
After getting out of the taxi, Xia Feng felt an inexplicable sense of oppression when he saw the few passers-by hurrying around and the old buildings in gray tones.
Not only are the houses here short, only four or five stories high, but even the sky seems much lower and grayer than in other places.
In order to act secretly, he found an empty corner, put on a black robe, and cast a bronze mask.
Suddenly, a pure white mask covered his cheek.
"If you're in the underworld, you can't do without a vest. Well, since Mu Qingtong's code name is Red Heart." Xia Feng rubbed his chin, "Then I'll use Spade."
As he thought, the color and pattern of the mask began to change.
After a while, a man in a black robe wearing a red mask with spades appeared in the dark corner.
The man in black robe used his invisible spirit clothes and followed the navigation to make many turns. He walked for ten minutes in the intricate alleys before he finally found the store in a snack street.
Aunt Lu's Steamed Bun Shop
But what surprised him was that the entrance of this store was not as deserted as other snack shops. It was surrounded by people and was very noisy.
The man in black robe walked slowly and leisurely with his hands in his pockets, and then he noticed that everyone was looking up at the sky, so he looked up too.
"Don't come over here, or I'll jump."
The slightly childish female voice spoke calmly. A girl in a white dress stood on the tile handrail on the roof of the fourth floor facing the wind, her black eyes empty.
"Okay, okay! Uncle won't go over. Kid, don't be impulsive—" The man's forehead was covered in sweat. He raised his hands slightly to indicate that he was stepping back, and at the same time, he urged anxiously, "You still have a long way to go in life, kid, don't be impulsive. Think about your parents, think about your family."
"Parents?" the girl in the white dress whispered softly.
"Yes, yes! Your parents, how sad they would be if you died—"
But at this moment, a sharp and loud voice drowned out the man's voice, like the roar of a beast before eating a person, "You money-loser! If you dare to jump, I will no longer have you as my daughter!!"
Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged woman with an angry face. She wanted to rush over, but fortunately she was stopped by the people around her.
The girl in the white dress ignored the woman and just turned around to look downstairs.
There was a crowd and a lot of noise below, but people were kind enough to leave her a clearing. As long as she landed headfirst and endured the despair and pain, she could die.
"Is this the breath of evil?" Xia Feng narrowed his eyes and sensed it carefully, and clearly felt that the girl had an evil reaction.
Seeing that half of the girl's foot was hanging in the air, Xia Feng did not move immediately, because he could easily catch her at the speed the girl was falling.
Moreover, another reason was that he discovered that there was more than one evil aura in this place.
There are three places in total.
In addition to the girl, there was another one among the crowd pulling the middle-aged woman on the fourth floor, and the source of the third one was difficult to determine.
But the third one was an evil aura that was hundreds of times more intense and terrifying than the aura on the girl. It was probably an evil beast hiding in the dark.
Seeing that the girl didn't jump for a long time, someone in the crowd chuckled.
"Just pretend, tsk~ kids these days are really..."
"Ah, how can you say that?"
"You know what, this kind of kid is the most despicable. He deliberately picks on her family over the smallest things."
"Shouldn't have given birth to such a person, alas~"
The girl clenched her fists.
There were noisy and fragmented voices saying all sorts of things. Although they were far away and the voices were neither loud nor soft, a few of the words could be clearly heard with a sneer in her ears.
She slowly moved her right foot forward, but then stopped.
"Yes, yes~ That's it. Go forward, go forward. There is everything you want ahead, no humiliation, no pain."
In a trance, the bewitching murmur in her heart sounded again, and a trace of struggle flashed in the increasingly empty black pupils of the girl in the white dress. She actually knew in her heart that death was the worst choice.
"You heartless thing—" At this moment, the middle-aged woman, with the help of her husband, broke through the obstruction and rushed straight towards the girl, her voice loud and anxious, "Get down here now, you money-loser! How can you be worthy of us like this!"
The girl in the white dress dimmed her pupils and took a step forward!
