Lucky One

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of Yu Fengchen and Jiang Jieleng, Yu Xing had originally planned to find a lucky person tonight and have their heart removed.

Unlike using ghosts to commit evil in other parts of the Underground City, if you try to open a believer's door and sneak in, the believer will almost always wake up and make a sound.

What he was looking for was a room that, even if it made noise, could maximize the effect he wanted.

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. If one is searching through residential areas, their ability to grasp the overall situation may be weakened.

During the day, Yu Xing had already looked down from his house on the high ground and memorized the approximate distribution of the residential area. Now, he was using the surrounding environment to calculate the optimal answer from different external angles.

He not only wanted to try to dig out a heart and switch it with the Yindu Heart that was currently in Amber's chest, but he also wanted to cause Ruben Reed some trouble, so his target had to be near Ruben Reed's house.

This spot is pretty good. Ruben Reed's room is a small hut surrounded by open space, and it's not too close or too far from any of the other houses. Yu Xing has her eye on one of the houses in the area, a wooden hut with a pointed roof.

If he remembered correctly, the man living in the pointed-roofed wooden house had a bad voice. During the day, this man openly supported Klaus, but during meals, in order to flatter the bearded Klaus, he belittled Ruben Reed to nothing.

Many people would have done the same, but this man's voice was too distinctive. He had a deep cut on his neck, probably from being slit in the throat, which is why he spoke with a lisp.

It's fine if it's leaking air, but he's making a really loud noise, so much so that even Ruben Reed, who's sitting far away, gives him a look that makes him wonder what kind of creature he is.

"You're going to kill believers?" Yu Fengchen was somewhat confused. "Why indiscriminate attack?"

"It's not about killing. I just want to use the heart of a believer and, incidentally, slander someone," Yu Xing said firmly.

Yu Fengchen: "Every time I see you, I feel you're getting more and more perverted. Congratulations, you're constantly improving."

"You flatter me, but every time you see me, it's not on the normal timeline, it's jumps around, so progress doesn't make sense." Yu Xing turned and gave him a flirty wink. "Actually, I've always been this excellent, and I hope you can see that truth sooner."

Yu Fengchen: "I threw up, brother."

"Don't vomit on me, anywhere else is fine." Yu Xing waved her hand dismissively, then walked towards the house with the pointed roof, giving Yu Fengchen a gesture to speak softly.

After a brief encounter, Yu Xing was able to clearly distinguish between the current Yu Fengchen and the Yu Fengchen he had met in the tomb palace.

It's obvious that this one is still a bit green. Whether in terms of aura, personality, or strength, he is far inferior to Yu Fengchen in the tomb palace, who was wearing a long trench coat.

The person Yu Xing met in the tomb palace, even without doing anything, exuded an overwhelming aura of power, just like when Qu Xuanqing stood before him when he first entered the deduction system.

Back then, Yu Fengchen was more like a person in a superior position than he is now. He was cold and taciturn, and one could vaguely see the appearance of a "mysterious figure".

Only at the right time, corresponding to that kind of Yu Fengchen, would Carlos be called "the Magician who jumps through time and space" by the other party.

As Yu Xing walked, she pondered, wondering how long it would take to reach that stage of growth.

This also indirectly indicates how long his revenge will continue, or whether his teammates will still be alive after he finishes his revenge.

Soon, Yu Xing had no time to think about these things. With the lantern in Yu Fengchen's hand as a light, the road was much easier to walk on, and he soon arrived at the door of the wooden house with its pointed roof.

Yu Fengchen discovered that the area around the house was covered in blood by the ghost, and there was also a lot of blood on the ground. In fact, most houses in the residential area would have this problem. During the day, as long as the ghost did not completely enter and destroy the interior, the damage to the building would be automatically repaired.

Yu Fengchen didn't know this; he only knew that the place was very dirty.

His hand holding the lantern trembled slightly. As someone with severe mysophobia, he was extremely careful with every step he took. If he were wearing shoes, he certainly wouldn't have been so wary of the bloodstains on the ground, but now, to conform to local customs, he was barefoot...

Yu Xing didn't care so much. He was even a little happy that the cold red liquid touched the soles of his feet. He reached out and covered the cursed door, and the curse dissolved layer by layer. It could be easily pushed open after a few seconds.

"Come with me." Yu Xing turned her head and mouthed to Yu Fengchen.

Yu Fengchen pushed up his glasses, nodded with disdain, and carefully stepped onto the bloodless ground as he and Yu Xing entered the house.

The early morning hours are indeed a time when the human body craves rest. Even if these believers are not actually human, as long as they believe they are blessed human beings, then their need for sleep is the same.

The man with a lisp lay sprawled on the wooden bed, his robes rolled up in disarray. Since the Wizard Cult rarely wore any undergarments, it looked rather unsightly.

Yu Xing stood by the man's bed, scrutinizing him with interest, before drawing out a knife.

Yu Fengchen mouthed, "Where did you get your knife? I searched for ages when I came in but couldn't find any sharp weapons."

Fortunately, he brought his own offerings with him; the bracelet on his wrist that could enlarge into chains and sharp hooks was the offering [the playful hook].

The sentence was too long; even Yu Xing didn't fully understand it. However, he saw the shape of the mouth when it said "weapon" and the confusion in Yu Fengchen's eyes, and replied, "Kitchen kitchen, kitchen knife."

Then, pointing to the snoring man's open mouth, she said, "Cover his mouth for me."

Yu Fengchen reluctantly switched the lantern to his other hand, freeing up his right. There was a thin blanket on the believer's bed, which was neatly folded and unused because it wasn't cold. He pulled the blanket up and used one corner to cover the man's entire face.

Now, not only is it difficult to scream, but even breathing is difficult, which also avoids the embarrassment of having one's face seen.

Yu Xing smiled approvingly, pointed the kitchen knife at his heart, and without any hesitation or discomfort, the tip of the knife swiftly plunged in, hitting what he thought was the edge of his heart.

The body beneath his hands suddenly began to struggle; the man must have woken up and was desperately trying to resist. He was quite strong, but the two people holding him down were even stronger.

Yu Xing's procedure went smoothly, and then it was time to cut open the skin.

Cutting these believers is much simpler than cutting humans. Their bodies are like tree bark, hollow inside. Soon, Yu Xing peeled back the cut bark as if he were casually lifting a lid.

(Dear reviewers, you cut out ghosts, not people!)
