The infinite starry sky shrouded everything.
In the blink of an eye, this area was completely isolated from the world. The sky disappeared and was replaced by an infinitely shining galaxy and a star exuding a mysterious brilliance. The radiance of the sun shone down like an incandescent lamp, leaving a thick and distinct shadow of white and black on the ground.
As far as the eye could see, the whole city was like a frozen ruin on the surface of a planet. It was full of an extraordinary feeling.
"This is …."
Even the old man in a suit was attracted by the change in front of him. His eyes widened in surprise. At the same time, a voice rang in front of him.
"I didn't expect to see another Disciple of the Red World so soon. Are you here to hunt too?"
"Hmm?"
The old man hurriedly turned his head when he heard the sudden voice. In front of him, Fangzheng was holding a plastic bag in one hand and pointing at him with his left hand.
"To be honest, I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect to meet a Disciple of the Red World here …."
"A human?"
Looking at Fangzheng in front of him, the old man's face showed an unmistakable look of surprise.
"I didn't expect to see a human moving in the Sealed Extinction …."
But soon, the old man raised his hands.
"Please don't attack, young man. I mean no harm."
"That's why I didn't send you back to your hometown to get married right away. Tell me, who are you? What are you doing in Yuqi City? "
"Allow me to introduce myself."
Facing Fangzheng's question, the old man smiled. He took off his hat and bowed to Fangzheng.
"My name is Rami the 'Corpse Collector'. As you said, I'm a Disciple of the Red World."
"My name is Fangzheng. As you can see, I'm a human."
Since the other party didn't show any hostility, Fangzheng of course wouldn't attack him directly.
"To be honest, I can't believe there's really a human moving in the Sealed Extinction …. Wait a minute, you released this Sealed Extinction, right? No wonder. I was wondering why I felt that the energy waves were different from the Firemist Warriors and the Red World Apostles. So that's how it is. There are actually humans in this world who can do that … Also, you should have a Firemist Warrior with you, right? I can sense his aura. "
"Oh?"
Fangzheng raised his brows when he heard the old man's lament. However, he didn't say anything and continued to stare at the old man quietly.
"It's like this, sir. I hope you can understand. At the same time, please convey to the Mist Warrior that I'm harmless … … Although it may be hard for you to believe this, I really don't have any ill intentions towards this city."
"Harmless?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng's interest was piqued.
"Tell me about it. The Red World Disciple I've seen before is a lunatic who is willing to do anything for himself. Although I'm not sure if that's a common problem for you Red World Disciples, at least for now, I feel that the Red World Disciples aren't easy to deal with. Maybe you can change my mind?"
"It's great that you understand."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the old man named Rami showed a relieved smile.
"Indeed, as you said, most Red World Disciples are dangerous to humans, but the only thing I can guarantee is that I don't eat people."
"You don't eat people?"
Fangzheng sized up the Bone Collector in front of him curiously.
"Then how do you maintain your existence? Logically speaking, if a Red World Disciple doesn't devour the Power of Existence, he can't exist in this world. "
"Like this."
Rami spread his hands and displayed the Power of Existence in front of Fangzheng.
"I don't eat people. In fact, I only absorb the power of very weak torches that are about to be extinguished. Even my body is the same. Unlike ordinary Apostles, I only exist with the help of the torches' bodies, so I don't consume any Power of Existence …. "
"I see. No wonder you're called the 'Corpse Collector'. Looks like you specialize in picking up the corpses of others."
At that moment, Fangzheng was finally enlightened. To be honest, if the elder hadn't personally absorbed the torch's power of existence, he wouldn't have realized that the elder in front of him was a disciple of the red world. But soon, Fangzheng had a new question.
"Why did you do that?"
"Because I need a huge Power of Existence."
"….???"
"It's like this."
Sensing Fangzheng's question, the old man explained with a smile.
"A long time ago, a human friend made a gift for me with his own hands. But before I could accept the gift, it was destroyed and can no longer be repaired. What I want now is to see with my own eyes what gift he prepared for me. For this, I need to write a Free Form to bring the disappeared Existence back to this world. And this requires a huge Power of Existence, but …. "
"If you absorb it directly, you'll attract the encirclement of the Mist Warriors, right? I understand."
Fangzheng nodded. He understood what the old man meant. For example, it was like the old man had his eyes on a treasure and wanted to buy it. But it would cost an astronomical amount of money to buy it, and the old man himself was penniless. To achieve this goal, he either had to take the risk of robbing a bank, or beg on the street or pick up the loose change dropped by others. The former had high returns, but the risk was also high. The latter had almost zero risk …. Of course, the time it consumed was immeasurable.
"That's right. Although I don't know what happened here, I think you can tell that Yuqi City with so many torches is like a treasure mountain to me. Here, I can collect a large amount of the remaining Power of Existence from the torches without affecting the world or hurting others …. By the way, if it's possible, may I ask who the contractor of the Mist Warrior in this city is?"
"The Skyfire Calamity."
"Oh? It's him? "
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the old man's face showed an unmistakable look of joy.
"I didn't expect him to be here. So that Mist Warrior is the 'Flame-haired Killer'? That's great. I didn't expect this place to be under his protection …. "
Assassin? That little girl was probably only capable of killing chickens.
"You know each other?"
Seeing the old man's reaction, Fangzheng was very curious. He originally thought that the relationship between the Mist Warrior and the Disciple of the Red World was that of a cat and a mouse, but now it seemed that was not the case.
"I guess so. I can rest assured now. I hope you can tell them that I'll be living in this city for the time being …."
"That's not a problem."
Since this disciple of the popular world named Rami was so sure, Fangzheng did not mind letting him off the hook for the time being. After all, he said that he knew Alastair. As long as he went back and asked Shana, he would be able to get an answer.
But before that ….
"Sir, do you know much about the 'Freedom Technique'?"
Fangzheng asked curiously as he looked at the old man in front of him. The old man smiled when he heard his question.
"Hehe, I know a thing or two about the 'Freedom Technique'."
"Oh!"
Fangzheng's eyes lit up when he heard the answer.
"Then I wonder if you have time to talk to me? We can go to the coffee shop over there …. Of course, it's my treat. "
