The afterglow of the setting sun filled the sky, and under that radiance, Ye Bufan cautiously inquired, afraid of attracting the attention of the believers.
"Qin Sheng, have you ever heard of the Creation Cult?"
Qin Sheng looked puzzled, pushed up his glasses, and his eyes were as clear as a college student's.
"No, I've never heard of it."
Ye Bufan stared at him, wondering why something felt off. Was it just his imagination?
Never mind, it's not important.
"Qin Sheng, I feel like I've been having some bad luck lately. You're pretty smart, could you give me some advice?"
"Oh, tell me more about it."
Ye Bufan sighed, "You saw that monster at Qingtian Lake before, right? That was a follower of the Creation Cult."
“I don’t know what’s been going on lately, ever since he started, cult members have been coming to kill me every few days, as if I have some deep-seated grudge against them.”
Ye Bufan's resentful gaze fell on Qin Sheng.
"Qin Sheng, do you think I'm cursed?"
No, no, no.
Qin Sheng smiled slightly: "I do have a different opinion."
"What?"
"An old saying perfectly describes your current situation: 'When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their resolve and strengthens their body.'"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Qin Sheng translated it in plain language: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
"Oh! I understand."
Ye Bufan clenched his fist and agreed, "That's absolutely true. These past few days of intense battles have made me feel like I'm about to break through."
"It's going to be at the second tier?" Qin Sheng asked in surprise.
He nodded, unguarded: "The principal has already given me second-tier energy liquid. I can try to break through tonight."
…
...
Ye Bufan looked at Qin Sheng, who had stopped, with a puzzled expression: "Why did you stop?"
Qin Sheng's face was full of complicated emotions. So, he was the one who was just a tool?
The protagonist is about to break through, and the villain sends someone to help him take that final step, right?
"It's nothing, let's go."
Testing is still necessary. The characteristics used on oneself must first defeat the protagonist at the same level to be considered qualified.
However, the fact that he became a tool means that Ye Bufan is of high quality, and it is definitely right to use him as a qualified standard!
Qin Sheng comforted himself in this way.
When I came out of the library, night had already fallen.
Qin Sheng murmured, "It's time."
Ye Bufan didn't catch anything amiss. He glanced at his phone and nodded, "It's getting late. I need to hurry back and try to break through to the next level..."
"Yo!"
Both of them turned around with puzzled expressions.
Arrived so quickly? (Who is it?)
A person with slicked-back hair and a blue-gray school uniform slung over their shoulder swaggered in under the moonlight, holding a baseball bat in their hand and waving it back and forth at the two of them.
"You two, which one is Ye Bufan?"
Qin Sheng silently took half a step back, making way for the person in charge.
Ye Bufan looked the student up and down, whose style was so different: "Who are you?"
"Qi Jie from No. 5 Middle School in District 3, you can call me Brother Jie."
Qi Jie introduced himself, then hooked his arm around Ye Bufan's shoulder while carrying a baseball bat.
"Ye Bufan, right? I heard you protected the students in front of the strange beasts. I have high hopes for you."
Ye Bufan was taken aback: "Uh... and then?"
Qi Jie pointed to himself with his thumb and laughed heartily: "Call me Brother Jie, how about you join me?"
Qin Sheng raised an eyebrow. "Are there still organized crime groups in this day and age?"
Did the crackdown on organized crime leave you out?
Ye Bufan rolled his eyes back and took his hand off his shoulder: "I have no interest in having an older brother."
Qi Jie glanced at his hand. Although he hadn't used much force, no one in his school could escape his arm-in-arm technique!
"It doesn't matter."
Looking at Ye Bufan, Qi Jie felt even more strongly that this was his chosen one! The second-in-command of the big boss gang!
"I heard you've recently gotten involved with some kind of cult called the Creation Cult, right?"
Qi Jie patted his chest and said, "Just call me Brother Jie, and even if the leader of the Creation Cult appears, with you, Brother Jie, here, it'll be a piece of cake!"
"Oh? Brother Jie, you're really brave!"
A cold voice suddenly rang in his ears, making his gaze sharpen, and he gripped the baseball bat and swung it backward!
Whoosh!
The baseball bat only created a strong gust of wind, but failed to hit anything.
Not far from the road, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared.
From a distance, the owner of those eyes appeared to be wearing a red dress, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was not a "red dress" at all, but rather flowing blood!
Its wings, which spread out behind it, were covered with sharp bone spikes, and the wing membranes were covered with red patterns, just like the vampire mother scythe that Ye Bufan had seen before!
"Qi Jie, right?"
A half-red mask with sharp teeth was worn on his face, and a cold voice came from below.
As soon as she finished speaking, sharp spikes began to emerge from her hands at a visible speed, and then the blood on her body gathered to form red claws.

"Now you can put your harsh words into practice."
Ye Bufan's gaze sharpened, and he made a judgment from those wings: "Was it you in the park that day?"
"Ye Bufan, wait a moment."
Yu Rui's bloodshot eyes fell on Qi Jie: "Let me kill this arrogant bastard first!"
