The next day, in the hospital, Huai Shi saw Yoo Dong-ri.
Although his face was still a little pale, he was able to move without hindrance. He could leave the hospital in just over a week.
Although the physique of a sublimator was much better than that of an ordinary person, it was very abnormal for him to be so unreasonable.
The gunshot wound on his back had not completely healed, but Yoo Dong-ri, who had been shot twice and had one of his lungs blown up, was almost healed?
"What kind of medicine did you take?" Huai Shi could not believe it, "Weren't you still in the intensive care unit a week ago?"
"Huh? What intensive care unit? "
Yoo Dong-ri looked at him in confusion, "Didn't Ai Qing tell you?"
As he spoke, he pulled his eyeball and showed Huai Shi his right eye — at that moment, his pupil suddenly split into two.
Polycoria!
It was the strange appearance that Huai Shi had seen in a hurry in the church that day.
"Since we are so familiar with each other, it doesn't matter if I tell you. My stigmata is called Halcyon, a relatively obscure stigmata in the Dongxia genealogy."
Yoo Dong-ri said, "It only has a weak enhancement to the vision, but it can't improve the physique, and has no other functions. But when I fuse with it, it will make a record of my body — like a data backup. If I am seriously injured, as long as I don't die on the spot, I can slowly recover to my original state."
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, and could not help but sigh, "So, the intensive care unit is also a lie, right?"
"…"
Yoo Dong-ri was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed pity, "Although I don't understand what Ai Qing said to you, it seems that you have been miserably deceived by that woman."
Not only that, but I also lost your car, my friend!
Huai Shi looked away.
"Ah, fortunately, I was not physically disabled this time. Otherwise, with so many loans, the money to buy the Silver Blood Potion alone would have made me bankrupt."
With that, Yoo Dong-ri casually asked, "Oh right, where's my car? Didn't you ask someone to drive it here? "
"… Uh."
Huai Shi's scalp suddenly went numb, and her gaze wandered to other places. "I don't have a driver's license, so I can't drive. Why don't I find someone to take care of your car and then drive it to you?"
"Sure."
Yoo Dong-ri nodded and did not doubt him. Only Huai Shi was secretly worried. If that red Maserati turned into a Chery QQ after maintenance, would Yoo Dong-ri find a tree to hang himself?
He was discharged from the hospital without a word.
While calling for a taxi, Yoo Dong-ri smoked a cigarette and suddenly said, "Oh right, about the red gloves, thank you."
"Hmm?"
Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to have already known. His heart suddenly sank to the bottom. "Oh … Sorry, at that time …"
But Yoo Dong-ri patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him, "So, don't worry about the car, I have insurance."
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt moved. However, he did not notice that Yoo Dong-ri quietly turned his back to him and wiped his bitter tears while he was moved.
He was distressed about the money.
If it were not for his birthday, and several rich women sent him a bunch of gifts, he was afraid that this time he would really vomit blood.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this."
He waved his hand, stopped a taxi, and called Huai Shi. "Today is the day that I said I was going to be discharged. If you feel bad, you might as well treat me to a meal."
Even though he said that he was going to beat Huai Shi up, in reality, he still had a sense of propriety. He found a light restaurant and casually ordered two dishes. During the meal, Huai Shi also gave Yoo Dong-ri the gift that he had carefully prepared for him.
Yoo Dong-ri looked at the big box of Overlord Growth Suit with mixed feelings. He wanted to say something, but he did not.
As expected, he should have just let this grandson be beaten to death by the red gloves.
After the meal, as the two chatted, Huai Shi asked, "Since you're now out of the sea of suffering, what do you plan to do next?"
"I haven't decided yet. My flight is next month, so I'll go out and have fun for a few days. Before this, I was so bored. During my sentence, I couldn't even leave Xin Hai, and I had to report my location to the inspector every day."
Speaking of the past, Yoo Dong-ri looked like he could not bear to look back. "Now that you've taken the blame, you've jumped into a fire pit. That woman, Ai Qing, is not a good boss.
Even though she has plenty of protection, she will not cheat you of your money, and she will accurately pinpoint the limit of your ability. As long as you're not dead, she will use you as much as she can … In any case, be careful. Find a way out for yourself. Even though the Astronomy Society is a large organization, the benefits it provides are not enough to cover us cannon fodder. "
Huai Shi laughed drily. "Even though Ai Qing is a bit hard to get along with, it shouldn't be that bad, right?"
"Even though I don't know what happened between you and her in the past, the last person who thought that way was her original boss, the previous inspector of Xin Hai."
Yoo Dong-ri chuckled coldly. "At the time, your position as the confidential secretary was still hers, but a few months later, she was promoted to the official position. According to rumors, the poor thing from before is still in Africa … I can only say that she is from the Yin family. Once you're caught, it's over."
"Yin family?" Huai Shi was startled. His mind was confused. He seemed to have some recollection of this name.
"Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore."
Yoo Dong-ri shook his head. He did not want to continue this topic. "Didn't you say that you wanted to find the nearby Ascender Fair when we were having dinner? Go pay the bill, and then we'll leave. "
Then, he picked up the cup of tea and finished it in one gulp. He stood up and walked to the door.
He did not plan to say anything else about what he had just said.
Out of Huai Shi's expectation, in a small city like Xin Hai with only seven or eight Ascenders, there was a fair specifically for Ascenders.
And it was not far away. It was within walking distance.
"This place is similar to a business outlet. Many things are out of stock, so you can only order from Jinling. If you're not in a hurry, it's better to buy it online. If you're in a hurry, the price will be crazy … "
At this point, Yoo Dong-ri's expression became more and more resentful. It was obvious that he had been scammed. "Comparisons are odious. We're both Ascenders, but the treatment is different … He has a B-level protection from the Astronomy Society, and he gets a monthly allowance. I can only serve my sentence as a prostitute. Tsk …"
"Is he that good?"
"No, how should I put this? That guy's soul is very strange. He was determined to be a rare soul by the Astronomy Society, and he might be useful at any time. Therefore, he signed a contract. The Astronomy Society will guarantee his personal safety and peaceful life. If there's any danger, the Astronomy Society will prioritize evacuation and rescue, but when the Astronomy Society needs him, he has to be at their beck and call. It's like rearing a pig.
He paused for a moment, and his expression became serious. "Remember, after you go there, remember not to let that guy guess anything related to you. If you don't want your life to become a mess."
Huai Shi was vigilant. "Is it that dangerous?"
"No, it's not dangerous. To be precise, that guy is probably a comedy type." Yoo Dong-ri covered his face. "But sometimes, being a comedy type is the most dangerous."
"Also, since you've already become an Ascender, don't casually tell other people about your ability. Also, don't casually ask about other people's abilities. Just like my ability, if other people know about its flaws, it's very dangerous."
After Yoo Dong-ri cautiously warned him, he asked again, "Since you've joined the Astronomy Society, have you done your soul evaluation?"
"Not yet." Huai Shi shook his head. "I'm going to Jinling next month. Ai Qing said that she would take me to the branch and do it directly."
"Then just make do with it. Don't be stupid and say everything you know."
Liu Dongli sighed. "Back then, I was at a disadvantage because I was too honest. I'd rather be called a weakling than to be too strong. Developing in a wretched manner is the way to go, understand?"
"Probably?"
Huai Shi half understood.
Yoo Dong-ri nodded with satisfaction and pointed at the door in front of them.
They were here.
What was even more unexpected was that this Ascender Bazaar, located on the desolate streets of the old city, was actually a detective agency.
Looking at the half-broken sign, it was obvious that no one came.
After entering the room, there was a musty smell in the room. God knows how long it had been since it was cleaned. There was a person sitting at a table with his back to them, playing games with headphones on.
"Hey, hey, hey, okay, okay!"
Yoo Dong-ri kicked a chair. "Business is here, why are you still playing?"
"Wait a minute, my teammates are all AFK. This round, it's up to me to turn the tables!"
"You've already given away eight lives, what's there to turn the tables!" Yoo Dong-ri kicked off the socket and pointed at Huai Shi. "I'll introduce you to a customer, my little brother. Have some conscience."
The person playing the game turned around. It was a middle-aged man with an unshaven face, looking prematurely old. He looked at Huai Shi for a long time in astonishment.
"You're already a prostitute at such a young age?"
Liu Dongli's expression changed abruptly, as if he was frightened. He slapped the back of his head and said, "I told you not to make wild guesses when you have nothing better to do. What if you guess something wrong?"
"Okay, okay, what do you want?"
The man wasn't angry. He helplessly got up and waved at them. "The things are at the back. Follow me."
"Just call this guy detective. Although he's terrible, try not to reveal your real name when communicating with unfamiliar Ascenders. Find time to find a code name for yourself."
Yoo Dong-ri gave one last warning before sitting down on the sofa outside. "I'll wait for you here. If you can't estimate the price, just call me."
Seeing that he was considerate enough to stay outside, Huai Shi heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.
There was an empty room at the back of the room. It was filled with cupboards and a computer. It looked like a storage room from somewhere. There was also a large safe.
"This is the first time we've met. I didn't expect there to be a new Ascender in Xin Hai." The detective extended his hand. "How should I address you, little brother?"
Huai Shi followed Ol 'Liu's order and didn't give him his real name. When they shook hands, he showed a standard smile and introduced himself. "Little Peppa from Huai Hai Road."
"…"
The detective's face twitched. This was the first time he had heard such a refreshing nickname. "Okay, I'm here from yesterday's delivery service. I have everything you need. If you're looking for something more unusual, I can order it for you online."
"There's no need. I'm not here to buy anything."
Huai Shi waved his hand. He leaned forward and pulled open the zipper of his jacket. After making sure there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked,
"Brother, do you want some powder?"
