A Man-Eating Monster

"What's this?"

Xiao Xiao thought to himself, "Darkness will surely produce dark fruit in a dark forest."

"Does a life of suffering necessarily give birth to a twisted soul?"

He took a deep breath and walked forward again. Now, with Mister Ye's reminder, he was closer to this world and saw the city's misery and various strange fruits. But he had already learned to be calm and did not intend to immerse himself in that deep pain. Instead, he continued to search downwards with objective eyes.

Now, there's still one more thing to go before Yang Jia's second special training lesson is complete.

But where can one find such a thing?

Like an outsider, he walked under the lights of the bustling city, with a vague feeling.

Perhaps when I find the seventh one, I will have found the answer.

The answer for this city.

However, I need to hold back for now and not rush to think about it, because once I find the seventh one, the answer will be there.

Just as he was silently pondering this question, his phone suddenly vibrated, startling him awake.

I thought it was another reminder from Mister Ye, so I took out my phone to check, only to find out that it was actually a "sick boss".

"Rabbit Ears?"

Why did this boss suddenly make a phone call?

Xiao Xiao frowned, but considering she had given him a large bar, he answered the phone anyway.

"What's up?"

"..."

"Whee..."

Rabbit Ears voice came through the microphone. "I heard you were stabbed?"

Xiao Xiao was taken aback for a moment before realizing she was referring to Ruan Ruan. He gave a slightly helpless pursed lip and said:

"It was just a misunderstanding, and it's been cleared up."

"..."

"That's good."

The Rabbit Ears chuckled, "Are you free now? I'd like you to come over."

Xiao Xiao, who was busy, frowned. "What is it?"

A sweet, cloying voice said, "I missed you..."

Xiao Xiao said, "I'll hang up if there's nothing else."

"No, no, no..."

The Rabbit Ears hurriedly said, "Little brother, don't be so cold. I'm your boss, after all. I don't usually need you to help me receive and sell goods or chop people up, but you can't not even have time to answer the boss's phone, right?"

"I'm really busy."

Xiao Xiao, "I don't have time to chat with you..."

"But I really have something to do..."

The Rabbit Boss said somewhat aggrievedly, "If you don't help me, I'm doomed."

Xiao Xiao was slightly taken aback. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

The Rabbit Boss sighed deeply and said, "I'm going to get chopped up."

"Ah?"

Xiao Xiao genuinely surprised.

Holding the phone, he thought for a moment, and in less than a second, he agreed, "Okay."

In less than a second, he had already thought a lot. Logically speaking, he was at a crucial moment in studying the city and really didn't want to be interrupted by anything. However, he suddenly remembered Mister Ye's words: since he had entered the city, there were things he was looking for everywhere. Did that mean that no matter what he did, he might find them?

Since that's the case, it doesn't matter whether it's deliberate or not, or what we do.

He flagged down a car and drove towards the headquarters building of the Pink Maiden Gang.

When they arrived, they saw that the building was indeed unusually heavily guarded. A row of men in suits and sunglasses stood outside the building, constantly patrolling. They all had one hand in their pockets, looking around warily, as if they could pull out a gun from their pockets at any moment.

This cold and imposing aura was very intimidating, but Xiao Xiao knew that these were all people at the very bottom of the gang.

It's hard to say whether they actually have guns.

After getting off the car, Gao Ning, who was waiting outside, immediately picked her up and took her into the building. They took the elevator to the top floor, where they saw even those few unruly pink-clad girls guarding the place, indicating that the matter was indeed urgent.

"What exactly happened?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the huge desk and said, "You said the other side sent a monster to kill you, what kind of monster?"

That's why he rushed over.

I'm not really interested in gangland feuds.

But she said on the phone that the other gang had specifically bought a monster from the black market to deal with her?

"Isn't it all because of the competition for Jin Biao land?"

The pink-haired boss placed her two delicate little feet on the desk, looking sickly, and said, "We've taken over most of the territory, but some other forces still want to get involved. Although their ambitions aren't that great, such a big piece of meat was acquired with our people's blood and sweat. How could I give it to them so easily?"

"Your people? Who shed blood and sweat?"

Xiao Xiao was taken aback, thinking to himself, wasn't this territory taken over by outsiders?

"Yes..."

The Rabbit Ears looked at him and said with a smile, "You're one of ours. If you take it down, then of course we've taken it down."

"..."

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and realized that it made sense.

I won't feel so guilty when I mention that bar again.

That was a reward from the gang that I deserved after I had made a great contribution with real swords and spears.

He frowned. "And then?"

"And then they were unwilling to accept it..."

The Rabbit Ears said, "Trying to rely on connections is useless; I have connections above me."

"If it comes to strength, our Pink Maiden Gang is quite wealthy and powerful; how could they possibly compete?"

"However, they must have been bullied too much, because those guys actually found a way that no one had thought of. They sent someone into the black market and bought a monster that can kill people from a distance to deal with me. I have an undercover agent among them, and I've confirmed that they bought this thing. Before midnight tonight, they will release it and eat my lovely head."

"..."

Xiao Xiao found it all very strange. "A monster that can kill people from a distance? You actually believe in this?"

Seeing his reaction, Rabbit Ears asked curiously, "Let's not talk about it yet. You don't need to be so surprised, do you?"

Xiao Xiao shook his head. "What I mean is, do you really believe this?"

From the perspective of indigenous people, this world should be a materialistic world, right?

The city's will has already rationalized all the surreal things, so how can anyone believe in such things?

"This has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not..."

Rabbit Ears said, "The main thing is that there are indeed many murders like this in the underworld."

"As far as I know, several colleagues have been killed like this. No matter how many guns you have or how many people are guarding you, once midnight comes, the person being targeted will inexplicably lose their head, and the surveillance footage will not show anything."

"So, I was really scared when I heard about it."

"Of course, we'll have to ask our Black Gate City's Guardian Maiden to come and protect me personally..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao to his boss talking to him in a sweet and cloying way, but he seemed completely uninterested.

Whether it was Gao Ning or the four high-ranking military officers around her, they all showed some displeasure on their faces. What was their BOSS doing? They had all fought their way up from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and now they were all gathered here to protect the BOSS, but she was still not confident enough. Instead, she kept fawning over this expressionless man and explaining everything.

It seems like they don't trust us at all...

Xiao Xiao felt a little awkward hearing this, and frowned as if he wanted to say something.

Suddenly, he pulled out a silver pistol from his waist and fired a shot, shattering a vase in the corner.

"?"

Everyone in the office was startled. Gao Ning and four pink-clad thugs even pulled out weapons.

Splash...

Outside the office, the sound of a large group of bodyguards running could be heard, and the entire building seemed to shake slightly.

"Ah?"

Xiao Xiao was also a little surprised, and quickly waved his hand to explain, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

As he spoke, he shook the Silver Revolver in his hand helplessly and said, "This gun of mine has a temper. I have to fire it every now and then, otherwise it will get angry. Once its temper gets bigger and bigger, it might accidentally go off at any time!"

He glanced down at the Silver Revolver, looking helpless with the little rascal.

"This..."

The people around him stared at him blankly, looking at him strangely.

A gun with a temper?

You still have problems...

Gao Ning also realized what was happening and hurriedly took out his walkie-talkie to give the order, "Everyone is fine here. Everyone return to your original positions and patrol."

He then put down the phone and looked at Xiao Xiao with a strange expression.

This shot broke the tense atmosphere, and looking at Xiao Xiao, everyone felt a little uneasy.

Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, waited until the gun barrel cooled down a bit before putting it back into his waistband.

He calmly looked at the Rabbit Ears and said:

"If that's the case, then it's not a big problem. I'm also quite interested to see if this monster really exists."

"..."

"Very good..."

Upon receiving Xiao Xiao's response, Rabbit Ears became excited and spun around on the swivel chair.

Suddenly, he looked up at Gao Ning and said, "In that case, you should all go back!"

"The bodyguards below should also be withdrawn."

"Tonight, it'll just be me and my little brother here, waiting for that monster to come."

"..."

"This..."

Gao Ning and the four pink-clad warriors were both taken aback. "How can this be?"

"Aren't you afraid that before the monster can kill you, this guy will have a breakdown and feed you to the gun?"

"..."

"What are you talking about, feeding the guns or not?"

Faced with the questioning from Gao Ning and the four pink-clad high-ranking armed men, Rabbit Ears blushed and lowered his head, twisting his Rabbit Ears.

He explained in a low voice, "My relationship with this young man is simply one of protection and being protected..."

"..."

"?"

Gao Ning and the others were also stunned. "Why are you blushing?"

"We meant exactly what it said..."

"You're the Mingming who's got the wrong idea, okay?"
