Even without the 'Holy Flame of Annihilation', Sheyan still did not have enough utility points to repair his body. There was still a huge gap of more than 20,000 utility points. In this regard, the Nightmare Realm did not have to force people to their deaths. It was just like how there were public hospitals and private hospitals in the real world. After paying for treatment, of course the treatment would be free.
Paying for treatment was, of course, convenient and fast, but free treatment would take a lot of time.
If the injury was so serious that it was still not fully healed by the time the Nightmare Realm entered the next world, the Nightmare Realm would directly kick the injured person into the next world after ensuring that the fatal injury was healed.
After returning to the realm, Sheyan anxiously waited patiently. When he summoned Jinkuang, he discovered that Jinkuang had fallen asleep again. Although Sheyan's recovery speed had increased due to his military rank advantage, he still spent almost all the time he could stay in the realm. Finally, he recovered his body and regained it. Sheyan's body was finally restored.
Even so, as soon as he entered the Nightmare Realm, he did not even have time to catch his breath before he was kicked back to the real world by the Realm.
After returning to the real world, Sheyan could not contact Zi, Mogensha, Reef and the others. Obviously, they had not come out of the previous world yet. Sheyan recalled the experience of the battle with the Cardinal countless times. To be honest, he also felt that he had narrowly escaped death.
Unfortunately, he could not receive the reward of the Golden Side Mission yet. Although the mission was displayed as (Completed), it was greyed out. Obviously, some of the rewards of the Golden Side Mission could not appear in the real world.
This sounded a little strange, but it was not impossible. The rewards of the Golden Side Mission were no trivial matter. It was very likely that there would be some high-end medicines that could only be exchanged for by a General rank, and they were not allowed to be taken out of the Realm. If Sheyan could receive the rewards now, he would undoubtedly be taking a huge advantage of the Realm.
At this moment, Uncle Dasi slowly walked up from downstairs. He was a little stooped and coughed slightly. There was a half-lit cigarette in his hand, which glowed red in the dusk.
When Sheyan saw Uncle Dasi, he immediately stood up and invited him to sit.
After Uncle Dasi sat down, he silently took a few puffs of his cigarette and said.
"You've changed a lot in the past one or two years."
Sheyan smiled and took a few mouthfuls of wine.
"Uncle Dasi, you're thinking too much. I'm still me, Yan Zai. What changes can there be?"
Uncle Dasi remained silent for a long while before shaking his head.
"That feeling … Sigh, it's different. Maybe it's because you've grown up? My son has grown up and can't be controlled by his father. His wings will eventually grow hard. Recently, Sanzi has been like that too. He's been cooped up in his room all day long. He doesn't talk much and there's a rare smile on his face. I always feel like there's something on his mind. "
Previously, Sheyan's mind had been preoccupied with various matters in the nightmare realm. Now that Uncle Dasi mentioned Sanzi, he immediately replied.
"Isn't he in love? It's normal for young people to experience some emotional fluctuations. "
At this moment, Di Gu walked over with a plate of peeled pineapples in her hands. After hearing Sheyan's words, she added, "That's right.
"You've been out a lot lately and haven't had much contact with Sanzi, so you don't know his current situation. It doesn't seem like he wants to make friends with girls. Aiyaya, Yan Zai, I'm not being talkative. At his age, he's easily deceived. It's fine for young people to gamble and mingle, but I'm afraid he'll be tainted with drugs. "
Sheyan choked for a moment. Indeed, he hadn't thought of this point. Men, especially young men, were most susceptible to the three vices of prostitution, gambling and poison. Among them, the most troublesome one was poison.
Most men would only go crazy when they first came in contact with women. After immersing themselves in them for a long time and passing the impetuous period, they would naturally be able to control themselves. How many men after 30 years of age would take things too hard because of heartbreak?
Gambling was also very harmful, but ultimately, it was only a psychological addiction. When they ran out of money to gamble, most people could only obediently find jobs to earn money.
However, drugs were a dual addiction to both the body and the mind! Frankly speaking, there were so many people who quit drugs, but those who could truly quit once and for all were few.
At this moment, Sheyan took a deep breath and asked Di Gu.
"Did Sanzi really get infected by this stuff? Di Gu, did you see it? "
Di Gu frowned and replied.
"I didn't see it. But recently, Sanzi has been acting mysteriously. Even when he comes back for dinner, he's always in a hurry. I heard he rented a boat and parked it at the west pier. If there's nothing, he'll always stay on the boat and avoid us."
Sheyan curiously asked.
"Sanzi rented a boat?? Where did he get the money? "
Uncle Dasi curiously asked.
"Didn't you give it to him? Sanzi said you gave him a huge sum of money previously, and said you were planning to set up an internet cafe. "
Sheyan was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he realized Sanzi was probably hiding something from him. But when he glanced at the worried face of Uncle Dasi, he immediately replied.
"Yes, that's true. I didn't expect he still hasn't settled it and actually dragged it on till now? Don't worry, I'll go ask him. "
Uncle Dasi nodded and revealed a relieved expression.
"It's good that you can talk to him. Since young, Sanzi has always treated you as his role model. It's useless for me to talk to him, but it's useful for you to talk to him."
Sheyan patted Uncle Dasi's hand and softly said.
"Okay, I got it. Don't worry. Aunt Di, I'll go look for Sanzi now. Do you know where he is now?"
Aunt Di replied.
"Two hours ago, I saw him heading to the pier. I reckon he's on the rented boat, or in the internet cafe."
Sheyan stood up and stretched his arms and legs. His new body's joints emitted crisp cracking sounds. After pondering for a moment, he realized there were more and more suspicious points about Sanzi recently. It wasn't something that could be explained by a woman. Today, he finally managed to find some time to get to the bottom of this.
*****
The waves had already begun slapping against the shore, causing foam and debris to fall. After retreating slightly, the waves surged back with an indescribable momentum.
Sheyan pierced a coconut with a straw and walked along the gravel road above the pier while sucking on the coconut. The pier was already crowded with boats of all sizes like dumplings. Although the typhoon was still hundreds of kilometers away, no one was willing to take the risk of eating the wind head-on.
The pier was very lively. Fishmongers were everywhere collecting fish with cigarettes in their mouths. Although many of the boats were returning midway, it was still rare to see them return empty-handed. Besides, before the typhoon, some fish would seize the time to look for food. If they were lucky, it was not uncommon to catch a full bowl of fish in one go.
The noisy bargaining, the dirty water mixed with blood flowing everywhere, and the pungent smell of fish surrounded Sheyan. Logically speaking, such a filthy environment should make people stay away from it, but it gave Sheyan a very warm feeling, especially after facing the ferocious might of the Cardinal just now. Such a situation made Sheyan feel exceptionally peaceful and calm. The taut strings in his heart gradually relaxed. Only now did he truly return to his best state, both mentally and physically.
After standing on the pier for a while, Sheyan asked a few people. They all said that Sanzi should be having fun at the "club" on the pier. It was a dilapidated four-storey building with billiards, an internet cafe, women, a bar and other things that men liked.
However, Sheyan did not find Sanzi when he went to look for him. After thinking for a while, he walked towards the boat that was said to be rented by Sanzi.
The first impression the boat gave was that it was shabby, but then he noticed that the big belly of the boat was actually not small and could hold a lot of things.
Very few matters of the sea could escape Sheyan's eyes. From the minute signs of the cables and anchors, Sheyan could clearly deduce that this ship hadn't set sail for at least a few months.
Although the sea surface was swaying unsteadily, Sheyan still easily leapt onto the ship's bow. Although the cabin door was locked, it didn't hinder Sheyan's determination to advance. The inside of the cabin was directly opened up, forming a large cabin of about a hundred square meters. It did not have the musty smell that Sheyan imagined, which was enough to show that Sanzi often came in and out of here.
On the floor, Sheyan was surprised to find some exercise equipment such as iron dumbbells. It seemed that this was the secondary reason why Sanzi was hiding here.
Following that, Sheyan smelled a stench of blood and decay. He lifted his leg and walked forward. After bypassing a pile of moldy sails and rotten wood, Sheyan discovered a thick layer of blood stains on the ground. It seemed like it hadn't been scrubbed clean, or perhaps it hadn't been scrubbed clean at all.
Then, Sheyan found a strange thing in a corner. There was a broken crib, but the crib was full of rats!!
A fat and stout adult rat!
These rats were at least 30 to 40 centimeters long, including their tails. Their eyes were a strange blood-red. They did not run, jump or scream, but quietly and neatly squeezed into the crib. They did not move at all, giving off a strange sense of docility.
But as soon as Sheyan approached, the rats opened their mouths at the same time, revealing their sharp white teeth. They let out hoarse screams and stared at Sheyan viciously. There was no doubt that if a normal person saw this, they would scream in fear, thinking that they were possessed. (To be continued.
