In the street.
Liao Xing killed a Man-eating Ghost and stared into the void before him.
"Just two more monsters, and I can draw another card."
He sounded eager.
Gu Qingshan stood beside him, looking somewhat listless.
"What's wrong? You don't seem very motivated," Liao Xing asked.
"If we keep fighting like this, we can do no more than stay alive. We can't kill it. There's no point," Gu Qingshan sighed.
Liao Xing, however, said cheerfully, "I've made a profit either way. Just look at these muscles—"
He struck a classic bodybuilding pose.
Gu Qingshan gave a wry smile. "All right. Tell me now: can you load a sequence for other humans?"
Liao Xing shook his head. "No... Yu didn't give me the right to spread sequences..."
Gu Qingshan's hopes were dashed once again.
Several hours had already passed.
The Nine Faces Insect Demon still hadn't returned. No one knew what it was plotting.
Liao Xing was only one man.
The Nine Faces Insect Demon, on the other hand, had the entire world at its disposal. It could spread the Man-eating Ghost virus at will and devour billions of people.
No matter how quickly Liao Xing evolved, he could never outpace the evolution of countless Man-eating Ghosts across the world.
They had to find another way...
As Gu Qingshan pondered, several Man-eating Ghosts approached. He raised his hand as if to strike.
Liao Xing swung his crowbar—
With a single blow, he killed all three Man-eating Ghosts.
"I can draw a card now," Liao Xing said happily.
"Wait," Gu Qingshan said.
"What is it?" Liao Xing asked.
"This time, let's not draw a 'True Self' card. Let's draw an 'Arcane Arts' card and see what we get," Gu Qingshan said.
"Why draw an 'Arcane Arts' card?" Liao Xing asked, puzzled.
