Under the persistent persuasion of her best friend and boyfriend, Tina finally reluctantly agreed to leave the island on the same day. Reluctantly, she reminded Zhang Lisheng a few last words and turned around to leave the hotel lobby, turning her head back every step she took.
Looking at the girl's gradually disappearing silhouette, Zhang Lisheng waved his hand as he fell into deep thought. Zheng Heyun was already a Grand Wizard, so the person who could force him to the point where he could only warn him secretly would naturally either have a more powerful strength or a great power in China, or both at the same time.
If it was not for the fact that Zhang Lisheng had transformed into the nine-tailed scorpion when he made a breakthrough to Rank-7 Wizard and obtained the omniscient power to turn his body invisible, allowing him to think that he would be able to keep his life no matter how harsh the environment was, adding on to the fact that Shrimp B1 Island was his self-proclaimed foundation that he could not easily give up, the young man would have hidden as far away as he could.
Being decisive in killing was not a reckless act of courting death.
Besides, even if he had made up his mind to stay on the island to take the risk, he could not just stay there openly. After pondering over it, Zhang Lisheng pretended to be calm and left the hotel. After strolling around the noisy street, he finally came to the beach.
Other than the barracks built by the military at the port, there was indeed an additional house with a sign on the roof that read 'Anytime, convenient and safe. The big neon sign of the Ocean Shipping Company, your reliable friend, the cement house.
The cement house looked very ordinary. The only difference was that its shape was flat and long. The wall facing the street had an entire window.
More than a dozen beautiful girls wearing captain hats and long sailor suits stood guard in front of the window, dealing with the restless youths on the island who didn't want to spend money to buy a ticket, but just wanted to chat with the beautiful girls and squeeze to the window.
Due to the different natures, there were more men than women among the adventurous people. This caused the imbalance between men and women on Shrimp B1 Island to be serious. The young men obtained a little emotional comfort from the beautiful and charming ticket selling lady who had a curvaceous figure.
The shipping company, on the other hand, obtained the popularity they wanted and slowly gained popularity in the gathering place. Naturally, it could be considered as a 'win-win' situation.
As for selling the unusually expensive tickets, it was not important to the shipping company at this stage. Otherwise, they would not deliberately let the ticket selling girls dress so seductively.
Casually looking for a waitress in a sailor suit who seemed to be the most leisurely, Zhang Lisheng stepped on the sand and squeezed his way to the window before asking loudly, "Miss, I hope to leave the island immediately. May I know if there's such a ticket?"
"Of course, sir! Our Ocean Shipping Company's cruise ships sail to Shrimp B1 Island every three hours, day and night.
The tickets for the next flight are still available. If you buy it, you can have a burger at a burger restaurant in New York City tonight. " The beautiful ticket selling lady looked at the newly added bald Asian young man in front of her and said with a stiff smile.
"That's great! How much does it cost? I …" Zhang Lisheng's eyes lit up as he asked pretentiously.
However, before he could finish his words, a pair of cold and rough big hands suddenly landed on his shoulders along his neck. At the same time, a faint yet sinister voice resonated in his ears. "Young man, since you're a witchcraft junior, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Why don't you meet me instead?"
Zhang Lisheng's body froze. Slowly turning his head back, he saw a middle-aged Caucasian man who looked sturdy and sturdy like a blue-collar worker looking at him with a smile on his face. However, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes at all.
Other than the bruises around the man's eyes that seemed to be caused by a lack of sleep, the man looked lively. However, Zhang Lisheng still instinctively sensed that he did not have any aura of a living person at all. It was clear that he was a living corpse.
Not only that, judging from his natural expression and movements, he was a living corpse that was far more brilliant than the living corpse that Zheng Heyun commanded. The power that he possessed was most likely far beyond the young man's imagination.
"Sir, the current short-distance tickets are only divided into economy class and business class. The economy class is 480 USD and the business class is 720 USD. Which one do you want?" Just as he was feeling troubled, the sweet voice of the ticket selling lady resonated from behind his head.
Zhang Lisheng turned his head around a little stiffly and said to the ticket selling lady with a bitter expression, "I'm sorry. Let me think about it again." Then, he turned around and followed the middle-aged Caucasian man to walk out of the crowd.
There were many customers like the young man who only inquired about the price but did not buy the ticket. For this reason, his departure did not attract anyone's attention at all.
"Young man, you're a wise man. No wonder Brother Zheng praised you so much. I'm afraid he must be the one who secretly advised you to leave right away." After leaving the beach, the middle-aged Caucasian man put his arm around Zhang Lisheng's shoulder and chuckled sinisterly. "This Brother Zheng keeps saying that this is the seed of the witchcraft's inheritance and that one is the true disciple of the witchcraft's inheritance. He must have good intentions.
Unfortunately, it's different now. It's not the ancient era where witchcraft thrives where tens of thousands of people eat raw meat and drink blood. If we don't enter the world to fight and snatch, no matter how many seeds are planted in the soil, they'll be killed sooner or later. For this reason, boy, I'm saving you. Do you understand? "
"Senior, I'm living a decent life so I don't need anyone to save me." Zhang Lisheng smiled wryly.
"Boy, you look so cold but I didn't expect you to have such an interesting way of talking. Looks like you're a smart person." The middle-aged Caucasian man grinned. "It's good that you're smart. It's good that you're smart. You won't lose anything if you're smart."
At this time, Zhang Lisheng had already calmed down. However, a bashful smile appeared on his face as he obediently followed the middle-aged white man to walk on the streets of the gathering place for a while. Finally, they entered a cement house in a remote corner.
The house was shaded by the sun. The windows were closed, the curtains were drawn, and the lights were not turned on.
Other than more than ten rattan chairs and wooden tables with people sitting on them, there was nothing else in the room.
After the middle-aged Caucasian man brought Zhang Lisheng into the house, he no longer said anything and walked to a muddy ground beside the wall where the cement floor had been removed. The soil under his feet suddenly turned into mud and rolled a few times before silently sinking to the ground.
At the same time, a short, skinny old man who was wearing an untidy black suit and had a cigarette in his mouth sitting on the rattan chair in the middle of the house said in a sinister manner, "Young man, we're all from the same Gate. Don't be restrained. Just sit anywhere you want."
Upon hearing this familiar tone, Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up all of a sudden. He asked, "I've read about the legend in the ancient books that a living corpse can allow a Grand Wizard to attach their soul to it. Is this the technique that you've cast just now, Senior?"
Upon hearing his words, most of the people in the cement house had a dumbfounded expression on their faces. The old man was stunned for a moment before chuckling. "Anyone who has inherited the witchcraft before would know that the first spell that they'll learn after they've broken through to Rank-12 Wizard and reincarnated from the dead would definitely be the Soul Attachment.
Since when has this become a legend? Looks like your Gate isn't that pure, boy. "
"Senior, I'm from the Zhang Family of Guawo Village, Damu Town, Qu County, Western Sichuan. My ancestors have been the Old Men of the Miaowei land for thousands of years so I can be considered as having some prestige. I'm famous in the entire county town …" Zhang Lisheng argued, causing the people in the room to have an even more dumbfounded expression on their faces.
"Oh, so you're the descendant of the Old Men of the Western Sichuan. The prestige of my Witchcraft has been maintained for thousands of years all thanks to you guys. It's my fault for saying that just now." Only the old man suddenly put on a solemn expression and stood up. To everyone's surprise, he cupped his hands and bowed deeply at Zhang Lisheng. With a completely different tone, he said, "Little brother, since you have such a background, how did you end up on this US island?"
"My father is an Old Man from the countryside while my mother is a Chinese-American. It's just that I've never seen her since I was young.
When I was 16 years old, my father was hit by a taxi and died in the city. The Civil Affairs Bureau said that they would find a guardian for me but in the end, they found me to be a Chinese-American instead. In the end, I'm afraid that I have no choice but to come to New York. "Zhang Lisheng avoided the topic and focused on the trivial as he sighed.
Upon hearing Zhang Lisheng mentioning that his father was hit by a taxi and died, some people in the house almost laughed out loud. They felt that such a Witchcraft family was just ridiculous. It was the old man who coughed dryly to help Zhang Lisheng out of the predicament. "Hmph, I'm afraid it's not that simple even if it's an accident.
Who knows, it might be those righteous Taoist sects who secretly did this. It's fine if I don't know about it, but since I know about it now, I'll have to investigate it clearly in the future.
Sigh, you're quite a pitiful child. Right now, which of the petty officials in the officialdom doesn't believe in 'it's better to have less trouble and better to have no trouble at all'. Besides, this matter of yours is considered as a foreign matter so of course, it's more convenient for them to send you far away.
As for the fact that you have to go through the pain of leaving your hometown and drifting for thousands of miles at such a young age, they don't care at all. "
Even though the content of the old man's words sounded very heartwarming, his tone still could not change its natural sinister tone. As he was speaking, he turned to look at the expressionless Zheng Heyun who was sitting beside him and said, "Brother Heyun, you have a good eye this time. I can see that this young man is indeed a good seed of my Witchcraft's righteousness. Not only that, he's also a pure descendant.
It's only right for him to be rewarded with a set of ancient inheritance for his slight contribution. "
Zheng Heyun had personally seen Zhang Lisheng transform into a towering giant in South Africa and kill the foreign world's invaders as if they were weeds. After that, he rode on the dragon and left, so she knew that he was a person who had luck on him. However, she did not say anything and merely smiled.
The old man did not mind and shifted his gaze to Zhang Lisheng again. Under the dim light, he put on an even kinder look. "Young man, since you're a descendant of my Witchcraft's outer sect's aristocratic family and have dealt with Director Zheng before in South Africa, I won't hide it from you anymore. I'm also working in our Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and my position is a deputy department investigator.
However, this is just a cover on the surface so it's fine if I tell you. In actual fact, my identity is the guardian of the Gate of Death of the Three Great Mountain Gates of Witchcraft's Life, Death, and Sacrifice. My name is Ouyang Boxiong. "
