Hunting Reincarnators

Li Chenchen got to his feet and placed the banknotes on the counter.

"Boss, I left the money here."

He did not use QR code payment, because a Reincarnator's information security was practically equivalent to their life security.

Unfortunately, Bai Cangshu's identity information was already in his hands.

Just as Li Chenchen was about to leave, a young woman with dyed red hair took the initiative to approach him.

"Handsome, wanna add each other on WeChat?"

Li Chenchen gave her a polite smile. That was the good thing about a college district—there were plenty of young, shallow girls, seemingly with endless hormones to release.

"No, I have a girlfriend."

The woman looked a little awkward, but she still puffed out her chest and said to Li Chenchen,

"So what if you do? It's not like you can't break up. Enough talk, let's take a picture first!"

Click!

The woman quickly leaned in, pressing her chest directly against Li Chenchen's arm, making his expression turn even colder.

When she pressed the shutter, he instinctively turned his head away, leaving only a side profile in the photo.

Then he flicked his right arm, shook her off, and walked out.

"Hmph, what are you acting so high and mighty for? It's not like I thought much of you either!"

Her words only deepened Li Chenchen's stereotype of that sort of person.

To be honest, Reincarnators had far better options when it came to women. A thousand or eight hundred Dimensional Points was enough to buy a female slave from a Plot World. The beauty of those women from "two-dimensional" worlds was not something these vulgar women could compare to.

Besides, there were even cheaper pay-per-session services.

Reincarnators were a group of desperadoes who lived with their heads on the line. Every one of them indulged in pleasure and gave free rein to their desires, so their thresholds had become exceedingly high.

It was hard to show women like this a pleasant face.

Li Chenchen turned and entered the underground street of snack bars and pubs. He still needed to ask around and find out what was so special about that so-called "monster," Bai Cangshu.

Beep, beep.

Bai Cangshu unlocked his phone. A clear selfie appeared on the screen: a red-haired woman taking a picture of herself, with the side profile of a man behind her.

The man's hair was somewhat long, already hanging past his ears. His skin was smooth, he stood around 1.7 meters tall, not particularly tall, and his body was well-proportioned with lean, powerful muscles.

Bai Cangshu studied the photo thoughtfully, writing and sketching with his hand. In the end, he crossed out each possible candidate until only one answer remained.

Someone with abilities similar to prophecy or divination, excellent physical combat skills, capable of all kinds of exaggerated movements, and possessing a certain preference for the image of a clown.

Among those who fit that profile, excluding purely spellcasting-oriented professions, Bai Cangshu knew of one with an extremely high degree of similarity.

Lord of Mysteries—the Seer Pathway. The sequence was unknown, but he was most likely Sequence 8—Clown. However, it was also possible that the other party had dressed as a clown not for acting, but to deliberately mislead him.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Cangshu placed the other party's abilities at the level of Sequence 7—Magician.

The reason he did not rate him any higher was that Bai Cangshu believed that if the other party had truly reached the level of Sequence 6—Faceless, then theoretically, Xiao Ning's group would have had no chance of tracking him.

A Sequence 7 Magician was already extremely dangerous. At this stage, the Seer Pathway's bizarre nature and multitude of methods began to show themselves.

Not only could they use their hands to transfer injuries on their bodies, they also possessed escape abilities such as Flame Leap, Paper Figurine Substitute, and Bone Softening. They were highly suited for small-scale combat and very difficult to kill quickly.

Furthermore, Magicians at this stage began to possess direct offensive abilities such as Air Bullet and Flame Manipulation.

According to the descriptions in the book, the destructive power of an Air Bullet was close to that of a specially made revolver. It could be activated simply by snapping one's fingers or making a particular sound.

This was a stage with considerable lethality.

Bai Cangshu looked at Song Xian's business card on the table, rapidly weighing the pros and cons.

He had clearly sensed killing intent from Clown Evans. As expected, the other party had quickly found him and begun the hunt.

An enemy like this was even more dangerous because of the Seer Pathway's specialized divination abilities.

He put away the business card. He had to kill this guy.

--

The red-haired woman sat on Xiao Ning's lap with a flirtatious smile. She had always been a delinquent girl who hung around this street, but today, she discovered that Brother Ning, who had always seemed so imposing in her eyes, was like a different person.

There was none of his usual joking and laughing. He had been seriously directing everyone to do this and that.

His gaze was so fierce that it felt as though he would eat her alive if she made a mistake.

"Brother Ning, do we really need to help that student kid so much..."

"At the end of the day, he's just a student, isn't he? We're not afraid of him..."

Slap!

The woman nicknamed Sister Hong was yanked up by the hair, then slapped to the ground.

She stared in disbelief at Brother Ning, who had been sleeping with her recently and had clearly liked her quite a lot. He was now breathing heavily.

"Shut up, you idiot!"

"Do you know what kind of person that guy is, running your mouth like that?"

They were in a rather nicely decorated bar, done up in dark tones, with strips of colored lights lining the walls.

Since it was daytime, the bar had not opened yet. Only this group of people was present.

Sister Hong, who had been hit, looked at the others, yet not a single person spoke up for her.

Braces Girl, a sister two years older than her, helped her up and whispered,

"Don't talk nonsense. That Bai Cangshu... he's terrifying!"

She secretly glanced at Xiao Ning. Seeing that he did not stop her, she continued softly,

"You know this area used to be pretty chaotic, right? All kinds of groups would hang around this bar street, fighting each other all the time..."

Sister Hong remembered it too. She had still been in middle school back then and had been afraid to come near this place. It was only after she saw Xiao Ning take control of the area that she began to think he was impressive.

Braces Girl had slightly dark skin and was not as pretty as Sister Hong, but their hometowns were close by, and the two had a good relationship.

"Actually... those people were all taken down by Bai... that guy..."

Beep, beep!

The phone screen lit up, and Xiao Ning immediately stood and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Brother Bai, it's me."

"Okay! I understand."

"I'll get on it right away!"

Two years ago, Xiao Ning had followed a man called Brother Hu. At the time, Brother Hu led more than twenty men and was one of the most troublesome groups in the area.

Brother Hu was extremely shrewd and rarely got hauled into the station. Even the bar owners and security guards could do little about him.

But one day, Bai Cangshu appeared. He simply followed behind Brother Hu the entire time, mocking him for lacking courage.

In the end, Brother Hu got angry and told his underlings to teach Bai Cangshu a lesson together.

The result was that more than a dozen of the twenty-odd men ended up in the hospital.

Xiao Ning had been a newcomer then and had not dared to step in, so he had not suffered any injuries.

He had only seen how Bai Cangshu's Physical Strength was completely unlike that of an ordinary person. With one punch, the muscular Brother Hu was sent flying over two meters, then continued twitching like a dead fish.

What frightened Xiao Ning even more was that Bai Cangshu had worn a relaxed smile throughout the entire ordeal.

Some people smiled smugly because bullying the weak allowed them to display their strength.

But in Xiao Ning's eyes, there was only one explanation for Bai Cangshu's smile—he was delighted because he could legally hurt others.

"That guy is a real monster."

He looked at the photo on Sister Hong's phone and spat a thick wad of phlegm onto the polished floor.

"Fuck that bastard. That little punk came looking to die, and he just had to come onto our turf."

"Take him down!"

"Braces Girl, go add something to his drink and drug him!"
