There's actually someone here? But even if there are people living here, the town's electricity should have been cut off. Why is there light here? Zhou Wen was alarmed as he carefully approached the shop at the corner of the street.
The shop was a mini-mart at the corner. Most of the LED lights on the signboard had been damaged, but a small number were still lit. In such an environment, it looked a little strange.
Zhou Wen used the Slander Listener earring's ability. Although he was still very far away, the situation in the mini-mart was already reflected in his mind. It was like a holographic image, allowing him to see everything clearly. Furthermore, there were colors.
Soon, Zhou Wen saw a young man lying on a wooden rocking chair in the mini-mart. His eyes were closed as he rocked with the chair.
On the wooden table beside the rocking chair were some messy snacks and a few open cans of beer.
As the youth closed his eyes to enjoy the rocking of the rocking chair, he poured beer into his mouth. From time to time, he would throw a few snacks into his mouth. He looked rather satisfied.
And on the counter beside him was an oil lamp. The style of the oil lamp was very similar to the Godfiend Era oil lamp. It was obvious that it wasn't something from the East District.
The oil lamp's flames emitted white light. Strangely, the lights in the mini-mart lit up amidst the white light. There was also a fan that was spinning.
Just as Zhou Wen took a look, the oil lamp's flames suddenly flared up. Instantly, there was a burst of white light, immediately rendering Truth Listener's ability useless. He couldn't hear the situation in the mini-mart.
Zhou Wen was alarmed as he looked at the mini-mart. He saw that the youth had already walked out of the small city and was looking at him.
Beside the youth, the oil lamp floated in the air. The flames had already transformed into the appearance of a deity. It was somewhat similar to the legendary Aladdin's magic lamp.
When the youth saw Zhou Wen, his expression seemed to change. He stood there and sized up Zhou Wen as though he was very curious about him.
Zhou Wen also sized up the youth. He looked to be in his late twenties. He wasn't the handsome type, but he was very stylish. He was the type that was filled with masculine charm.
Zhou Wen was certain that he had never seen him before. He looked rather unfamiliar.
As for the lamp beside him, Zhou Wen recognized it. It was Genie on the rankings. He was once ranked third, but now, he had fallen to ninth. His ranking wasn't bad.
"Please don't misunderstand. I don't have any ill intentions. I was just passing by and saw some lights, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity," Zhou Wen said.
The young man curled his lips and smiled. "It's fate that we meet. There's no one else here except for us. Why don't we come in and have a drink or two? It will also save us from the long, lonely nights. "
"Thank you for your kind intentions. I still have something to do and need to continue on my way. I won't disturb you any further." Zhou Wen felt that the youth was a little odd and decided to stay far away from him.
To his surprise, the youth said with a smile, "This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Apart from the way we came, there's no other way out. And in such a godforsaken place, the only useful thing is probably the black cube in the town square. Are you here because you don't wish for others to see your Companion Beast on the rankings like me?"
The youth's guess was naturally spot on. Although Zhou Wen wanted to deny it, he couldn't seem to find a reasonable excuse.
"Now that you've seen my Genie, even if I know that your Companion Beast is on the rankings, we have each other's weaknesses. Neither of us will suffer a loss. I've been here for many days, but I haven't even seen a fly. It's really boring. Just stay here and chat with me, "the youth said with a smile.
Zhou Wen didn't move. Since he had been discovered, he had already decided not to let Tyrant Behemoth fight here.
Just as he was about to bid farewell and leave, the youth continued, "It's fine if you don't want to stay. However, you already know my secret, and I don't have anything on you. It's naturally impossible for me to let you leave alive."
As he spoke, the Genie beside the youth had already arrived in front of him. He stared at Zhou Wen and took a deep breath. The body condensed from the lamp flames instantly doubled in size as though a flaming vortex was flowing inside.
The youth leaned against the door frame and drank another mouthful of alcohol before smiling at Zhou Wen. "Do you want to fight my Genie or stay and have a drink with me? Choose for yourself."
"Sorry," Zhou Wen said as he turned around and left.
However, the youth had no intention of taking action. He only said indifferently, "You know that my Companion Beast is Genie, but you aren't moved at all. You even came to this godforsaken place to be on the rankings. The Companion Beast you have must be extraordinary. At the very least, it's not inferior to my Genie. Even if you aren't on the rankings here, I can guess that it's your Companion Beast as long as I see a new top Mythical Companion Beast on the rankings. "
Zhou Wen didn't stop as he continued walking forward.
The youth's voice continued. "Your name is Zhou Wen, right? Everyone in the bureau has a photo of you. "
"Are you from the bureau?" Zhou Wen turned to look at the youth. If the youth was really from the bureau, he could only use all means to bury the youth today even though he didn't like killing.
"Don't misunderstand. I have nothing to do with the bureau." The youth spread out his hands indifferently and said, "I'm the same as you. I'm also a target of the bureau. I've seen your photo and some information from the bureau, so I recognize you."
"You came here to be on the rankings and have a powerful Companion Beast. I'm guessing you must be up to something. However, the bureau doesn't seem to have any Mythical Companion Beasts on the rankings. I recall that your grudge with the Cape family runs rather deep. Don't tell me you want to challenge the Cape family's Companion Beast on the rankings? "
The youth thought for a moment and laughed. "Chimera … You want to challenge a Chimera, right?"
"Who are you?" Zhou Wen frowned at the youth. He didn't say a word, but the youth could guess so many things just by looking at him. It was as though he had flipped through his memories. It left Zhou Wen somewhat surprised.
"Don't Cry Night. I'm ranked first on the bureau's wanted list. My bounty is also the highest. Have you heard of me?" The youth gulped down another mouthful of beer before continuing.
Zhou Wen had no idea who was ranked first on the bureau's wanted list, but this youth did make him somewhat afraid.
"I already know your secret. Unless you kill me or give up on your plan, it's the same no matter where you are on the rankings. Why don't you stay and have a few drinks with me? It'll save you from being lonely in this remote mountain range." The youth threw a can of beer at Zhou Wen.
