Mr. Key

The high walls of the S3 Living Zone lay pitch-black beneath the night.

Crimson lanterns floated through the air like schools of fish.

"Mr. Zhuang."

Gu Shen smiled.

This was exactly what he had been waiting for. His earlier focus on the S3 Living Zone and the entire South Cave had all been for the sake of meeting the Neutralists.

"You knew I wasn't dead?"

Zhuang Su still had both hands in his pockets. He was very interested in Gu Shen. From the young man's reaction upon seeing him, he knew Gu Shen had already guessed the "truth" about him.

He suddenly extended a hand and abruptly grabbed at Gu Shen.

The attack came without warning!

Yet it was remarkably effective. The
