The Logic of the Weak

Looking at Ruan Ruan, usually so cheerful, now with her head lowered and biting her lip until it bled.

Yang Jia sighed softly, patted Ruan Ruan's head, and said gently, "There really isn't a good way to deal with the Hell Organization. They enjoy plundering Points. Actually, it's not just them. Some Outsiders who don't restrain themselves often target weaker Outsiders, stripping them, even enslaving them, indulging their desires..."

"And when we face them, there's almost no reasoning with them."

"For the weak to try and reason with others is more like a joke."

"..."

These words caused Xiao Xiao to feel a deep sense of pressure.

Being in a foreign land, surrounded by malice.

Monsters that could Shedding Skin and eat him at any moment, even the city he was in was a huge, bizarre living thing.

Outsiders were already pitiful creatures incompatible with this world, living under constant scrutiny, finding it difficult to obtain even a shred of truth and security in the face of this vast world, but even so, there was still violence and slaughter among Outsiders?

Huge black ships came with the thick fog, and hideous demons jumped off the ships, beginning indiscriminate slaughter...

No guarantee of rules, no moral constraints, only naked violence and malice...

Thinking about it, Xiao Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

Such a thing had happened only half a year ago...

If he had woken up just a little earlier, would he have encountered this disaster?

Yang Jia sighed softly and said to Xiao Xiao, "That's what I needed to tell you."

"Because of the Hell Organization's massacre, the Outsider organizations in Black Gate City are now just names."

"The old president and those loyal to him were almost completely slaughtered!"

"The remaining people have lost their courage. They've cut ties with Black Gate, with my teacher, and don't even dare to mention his name anymore, let alone stand up to represent Black Gate City. They just live in a daze, taking each day as it comes."

"And I've returned here to inherit my teacher's legacy and reorganize the Black Gate organization..."

She became serious as she said this, "My teacher said that we are all a group of pitiful creatures abandoned by the world. If we don't support each other, how can we fight against this vast, despairing nightmare?"

"Unfortunately, the only ones who dare to stand up and support me now are Ruan Ruan, Little Four, and Mr. Ye."

"..."

"This is really..."

Xiao Xiao turned to look at Ruan Ruan and saw that her eyes were red as she lowered her head.

He didn't say it out loud, but he grumbled in his heart, "What a powerful organization, you've even got two substitutes for playing Dou Dizhu..."

However, Yang Jia's words also touched something in his heart.

He understood the feeling of being tormented for four years without being understood or having anyone to confide in.

He also remembered the feeling of panic and confusion when he first returned to this world, surrounded by ubiquitous malice.

People need companions.

He had always hoped to find more Outsiders, even join an organization.

Now...

...Well, there aren't many people, but at least there are enough to play Dou Dizhu.

"Phew, I didn't expect to tell you so much in one go."

In this somewhat oppressive atmosphere, Yang Jia suddenly smiled and said, "It's good for you to understand our current situation."

"However, dealing with the problem you encountered is the most important thing now."

"..."

"Deal with it?"

Xiao Xiao raised his head, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

He reacted quickly and immediately realized the main point of the problem; he hadn't come here to listen to stories.

That Red Eyes man belonged to the Red Eyes Club, which meant that he wasn't the only one harboring malice towards him.

Why did that guy want to kill him?

It couldn't be that he was just wandering around the docks, there must be someone behind it.

That Red Eyes veteran had already given him a hard time, scaring him so much that his heart was still beating fast.

What if a few more came?

The thought of it put a lot of pressure on him, and he looked up at Yang Jia, "So, what do we do?"

"Outsiders deal with things very simply."

Yang Jia raised her hand, which looked slender and delicate in the sunlight, very beautiful, as if she was admiring it.

"It's one thing that they don't believe me and aren't willing to help me."

"But it's another thing to attack you and provoke us."

"..."

After speaking, she suddenly smiled, took out a pair of black gloves from the drawer, and slowly put them on.

She chuckled softly, "The Outsiders are unreasonable, but within my sight, they must be reasonable!"

Beside her, Ruan Ruan's eyes lit up when she saw Yang Jia put on the black gloves.

And Xiao Xiao felt a strange shock in his heart when he saw the black gloves, a kind of unknown horror coming over him.

He thought to himself...

...Aren't doctor's gloves supposed to be white? Why are hers black?

However, Yang Jia's smile at this moment also gave him some anticipation.

The weak are not qualified to reason...

...But it seems that this high school classmate of his is very confident in reasoning with people!

...This is really, too reassuring.

"Don't worry, Xiao-ge, I've already taken care of everything."

Just as Xiao Xiao was filled with anticipation, Little Four, who had stayed behind at the dock to clean up the loose ends, also returned. He crawled out of the exhaust vent, a cheerful smile on his face, and respectfully handed Xiao Xiao a card still stained with blood.

"This is his ID card. I checked it, and there are more than eight hundred Points in it. I didn't embezzle a single one..."

"Oh, okay..."

Xiao Xiao was unaccustomed to his politeness and took it casually, then suddenly startled, "More than 800?"

Yang Jia just said that Points can be plundered, right?

"Yes."

Little Four replied loudly, guaranteeing once again, "I didn't embezzle a single one."

"So..."

Xiao Xiao was somewhat excited, "It's all mine?"

"He came for you, and you killed him. According to our previous practice, you can keep the Points for yourself."

Yang Jia saw the excitement in Xiao Xiao's heart and said, "Of course, when we encountered such things before, one-third would need to be turned in, after all, everyone needs to help you with the follow-up matters. But now, there are only five of us, and you need Points the most, so this step is waived. But Little Four helped you dispose of the body, so you can give him a hundred Points."

"...Okay!"

Xiao Xiao was momentarily immersed in excitement and was about to agree immediately.

But before he could speak, Little Four had already shouted, "No need, it's nothing to help Xiao-ge with some small things."

"?"

Xiao Xiao was even more surprised, looking at Little Four appreciatively, "This little brother is really sensible..."

Little Four met Xiao Xiao's eyes and immediately felt apprehensive.

He was the one who personally disposed of the body, so he understood even more how miserable that Red Eyes was.

A shadow had been deeply planted in his heart, and he thought:

That guy was obviously an experienced Hunter, but he was easily taken care of by Xiao Xiao. Little Four couldn't quite understand how he did it, but the other party was a Hunter, and he was also a Hunter, so if Xiao Xiao wanted to deal with him, wouldn't he...

...Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Xiao with a little more friendliness.

These Points, obtained out of nowhere, were equivalent to being taken from a corpse and were not conducive to unity among the Outsiders.

But Xiao Xiao still accepted it immediately.

More than eight hundred... more than all he had on hand combined.

And he also asked, and then understood why that Red Eyes guy only had a thousand Points himself, but had more than eight hundred Points wasted in his card. He got Yang Jia's explanation and learned that this was caused by the Outsider's strengthening habits.

The Red Eyes man had completed the second stage of Hunter route strengthening, and even additionally strengthened one unit of the Violence Factor second stage. This had already reached the limit he could bear. If he continued to strengthen the second unit of the Violence Factor second stage, his body and spirit would not be able to withstand it. So the only choice in front of him was the Hunter third stage.

But the Hunter third stage, one unit, required two thousand Points.

He was far from reaching it and could only accumulate it, so there were more than eight hundred Points left in the card.

It was just like him.

He had only strengthened three hundred Points, including the freebies, but he had more than four hundred Points unused in his card.

If he had been killed by the other party, the other party would probably sigh:

"This damn handsome guy, he only has three hundred Points of strengthening, but he has so much stored in his card..."

"..."

Feeling relieved for a moment, he looked at Yang Jia and asked her how to handle it.

Then he saw that Yang Jia seemed to be in a good mood as well, and looked at Little Four, saying, "Was the body disposed of cleanly?"

Little Four said affirmatively, "Very cleanly."

"?"

Xiao Xiao was suddenly a little curious, "How did you do it?"

As a newbie, he needed to understand all sorts of useful skills; he might need them in the future.

"It's simple..."

Little Four looked a little proud: "I packaged it up and sent it to the Red Eyes Club."

"?"

Xiao Xiao suddenly felt a pang of unease.

But Yang Jia chuckled and said, "That's great. Since the greetings have already been sent, let's just head over there directly."
