Throwing Weapons

Feng Qi cautiously advanced through the city ruins.

After leaving the dilapidated residential area and confirming his safety, he planned to return to the Star City Shelter first to check the information.

As for exploring the new world covered by the Domains, he was not in a hurry. He would consider it after he had enough money to replenish his energy.

After all, this world was full of dangers, and reckless exploration might lead to his demise at any moment.

He still had one unused opportunity to check cultivation methods and didn't want to waste it.

On the way back, he didn't take the same street he came from, but planned to take a detour from the west.

This was because the road he came from was not only covered with strange vines, but he might also run into Little Black head-on, and he might not be as lucky as before.

He lowered his head and looked at the girl doll clinging tightly to his chest like an octopus, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face.

Even now, he still didn't know the origin of this little girl doll.

While traveling, feeling a bit bored, he pulled the girl doll from his chest and held her in his hand, playing with her.

Pinching her nose, pinching her face, tapping her head, pulling her little legs apart...

"Huh!"

He found that the little girl doll's lower body was round and closed, with no little rooster and no seam.

Realizing that the little girl doll had no gender, he was even more certain of his guess that she was not Human.

During his attempts, he also discovered that as long as the little girl doll had physical contact with him, she wouldn't open her eyes, but once the contact was broken, she would quickly open her eyes and pounce on him.

He tried throwing her out, she crawled back and clung on, then he threw her out again, and she crawled back again... After several times, the Narrator's voice appeared in his mind.

Be a Human, she's still a child!

Feng Qi: ...

"Narrator, if this thing and Little Black fought, who would win?"

I don't know who would win, but you are truly a dog.

Feng Qi: ...

Taking a detour to the west, the surrounding scenery changed. The towering buildings decreased, and the wildly growing weeds even obscured his vision.

As he continued forward, he was extremely vigilant, observing his surroundings to prevent any sudden incidents.

After walking for about half an hour, the surrounding buildings were significantly fewer.

At this moment, the little girl doll lying on his chest suddenly opened her eyes, slid down his left leg nimbly, her gray-white pupils looking to the right, and then moved her limbs to crawl in that direction.

Seeing this, Feng Qi was puzzled.

Although he was curious where the little girl doll was going, with the mindset of avoiding trouble, he had no intention of following.

After all, curiosity could really kill people, especially in this dangerous future world.

However, just as he was about to leave, he heard a deafening monster roar coming from ahead.

The foot he had just stepped out instantly retracted.

Scared? Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and hug the big leg.

"Me, scared?!"

I know you're not scared, but you're poor!

"Come on, come out, let's fight," Feng Qi couldn't help but glare.

Getting angry? Coming out is nothing. If you have the guts, come in and we'll fight.

Feng Qi: ...

This time, he didn't say anything more and decisively stepped in the direction the little girl doll had left.

Although the little girl doll might not be reliable, at least she was there, and his safety might be guaranteed.

Running forward, he bypassed a thirty-meter-tall ancient tree and arrived at a dirt slope covered with broken stones.

At this moment, the little girl doll was at a spot on the dirt slope, kneeling on both knees, her eyes staring blankly at the empty ground in front of her.

"What is she doing?" he couldn't help but mutter.

Taking a step forward, he came to the little girl doll's side, his gaze sweeping around, still not finding anything special about this place.

Just as he was feeling puzzled, the little girl doll suddenly sprang up and quickly darted into the nearby weeds.

Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately wanted to follow.

But the little girl doll's figure quickly returned from the weeds, a bright yellow flower in her mouth.

Coming back to the dirt slope, the little girl doll knelt down again, then slowly inserted the flower from her mouth into the ground, and a tear suddenly rolled down from her gray-white pupils.

"Beng...Ji...Wu."

Feng Qi: ???

The little girl doll's series of mysterious actions left him completely bewildered.

But from these actions, he could see that the little girl doll seemed to have some special feelings for this land.

As confusion filled his heart, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Suction Cup, are you still coming with me?"

The little girl doll didn't pay him any mind, her eyes still staring blankly at the muddy ground, appearing particularly lost in thought.

Realizing that the little girl doll would no longer follow him, he couldn't help but sigh, then walked alone towards the west.

Even without the little girl doll's protection, he had to return to Star City Shelter.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the reason for his difficult survival ultimately boiled down to one word:

"Poor."

If he had money, he wouldn't care about death at all. At worst, he could just sleep again and start everything over.

Continuing west, after walking for about twenty minutes, he suddenly heard movement behind him.

Turning around, he saw a small, thin figure pounce towards him, then heavily collide with his chest, firmly attaching itself.

As his body flew backward, he realized that "Suction Cup" had returned.

Then his head hit the ground heavily.

Standing up again, he looked at the little girl doll whose face still had tear stains, his expression helpless.

Then, taking the little girl doll with him, he continued on his journey.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally left the abandoned building area and arrived at the familiar burial ground, where his vision suddenly opened up.

After identifying the direction, he walked straight towards Star City Shelter.

He chose to spare the Living Dead he encountered along the way, as long as they didn't actively attack him.

Because Little Black was likely already following, time was very important to him now.

There would be plenty of opportunities to become stronger, but each time he entered the future dream, he only had one chance to access Cultivation Methods.

So, it was obvious which was more important.

Running forward, he spent about an hour traveling and finally arrived at the familiar black stone monument.

But just as he was about to step into the metal passage, the Narrator's voice appeared in his mind:

[The moon waxes and wanes, people have joys and sorrows. Finally, this moment has arrived. I can't help but think (slight pause, BGM starts): Some people walk and walk and then drift apart... Some dreams are dreamt and dreamt and then one wakes up, only to realize that I was too naive before, and reality is so cruel.]

Feng Qi: ...

Looking back, just as he had thought, Little Black was coming from a distance.

Compared to the Blood-colored Eye he encountered last time, the Unicorn Domain Creature clearly didn't last long against Little Black.

It was too late to run now, because Little Black's movement speed was too fast.

Looking at Little Black getting closer and closer, he took a deep breath, then grabbed the little girl doll from his chest.

"Go!"

Saying that, he threw her towards Little Black while the little girl doll looked bewildered.

"I'll avenge you when I come back next time!" As his voice fell, he turned around without looking back and stepped into the metal passage.
