Music slowly began to play from the phonograph.
The door of the red brick house had already been closed.
Buttercup sat cross-legged on the sofa, propping up her cheeks as she observed Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan was confused and asked: "What is it?"
Buttercup slowly replied: "I'm thinking — — whether or not I should turn you into an ominous demon, that way, your power will increase explosively"
"Are you worried that the Wraith realm people won't let me go?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Buttercup sighed, then replied: "They had just gotten into a conflict with you, only to die as soon as they left the house. Even if you have an alibi, with the Wraith realm's countless means, they might be able to find some clues"
Gu Qing Shan wasn't that worried.
After all, I already dealt with Elder Du's soul.
If the Wraith realm people didn't have any evidence, they wouldn't dare to act rashly in a place like Void City.
Which means they can only carry out small-scale assassinations.
Gu Qing Shan was confident that he could handle an attack of this level.
So he leaned back on his chair and asked in a relaxed tone: "You can turn me into an ominous demon?"
Buttercup thought that he was tempted and spoke expectantly: "Not only can I turn you into an ominous demon, but I can also turn you back into human form at any time, just like how I am right now"
"My strength can be greatly increased?" Gu Qing Shan pursued.
"At least twice as much! Ominous demons are all products of the mutated Laws, each of them unique and powerful! "Buttercup replied.
Gu Qing Shan hesitated.
He was actually a bit tempted and hesitantly asked: "Will the transformation definitely succeed?"
"Not really, but don't worry, even if it fails, you won't die"
Saying so, Buttercup clapped her hands.
A dog came in through the door, then sat down at Buttercup's feet.
"See, this is an example of failure — — but if you turn into a dog, I'll take care of you from now on" Buttercup stroked the dog's head.
The dog stared at Gu Qing Shan with a confused look, as if it was trying to recall something.
Gu Qing Shan wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and forced a smile, "Forget it, I'll just be a human. I'm more used to the fighting style of humans."
Buttercup sighed slightly.
— – Gu Qing Shan wasn't willing to give up her identity as a human.
If they wanted to protect him, they would have to use other methods.
She flicked the blank card and said in a low voice, "Woman, are you still there?"
The white card trembled slightly.
Buttercup said, "Very well, can you predict what my assassin friend will encounter next?"
A female voice suddenly came from the white card.
"I don't need to calculate to know."
Buttercup and Gu Qing Shan's expressions changed.
The female voice replied: "I can sense those who were killed, their souls are currently leaving Void City and returning to the Wraith realm, Elder Du is missing"
Although Gu Qing Shan knew that the other party could see the future, she still couldn't help but feel shocked.
— — -this City Lord's aide's perception and astrology are too powerful.
The female voice continued:
"But what you don't know is that even if Elder Du's soul disappears, the spark of light he had would still exist within Primal Chaos"
"The Wraith realm has Life Talismans and Immortal Skills from all three directions: Space-Time technique, Soul Growth technique, and Body Reconstruction technique. As long as they are willing to investigate, they would definitely find out the truth"
"And so, quickly send your assassin friend away, the further the better"
At this point, the voice from the card disappeared.
Buttercup put the card on the table with a worried expression.
She turned to Gu Qing Shan and said: "It seems you have to leave"
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent and said nothing.
The Wraith realm had only fused 60-70% of the world fragments, which was far from being comparable to the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
But they were already this powerful!
Buttercup reached her hand out and stroked the dog's head again.
"Stand up, it's time to use you" she said.
The dog rolled on the ground and turned into a burly man with a Blade on his back.
Buttercup said: "This is a person I saved, he has several unique human world warp techniques on him, follow him and leave immediately!"
Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, the burly man already spoke up:
"Madam, I know him"
Buttercup was surprised: "Hm? How do you know him? "
Gu Qing Shan turned to the burly man.
— — he already felt that this dog's gaze towards him was a bit off.
Gu Qing Shan also replied: "That's right, we've met before"
"In a completely sealed world" the burly man replied.
His gaze displayed deep hatred as he asked Gu Qing Shan: "Did you also fall for that Old Guide's scheme?"
Gu Qing Shan opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
On the Gemini star, Shannu pretended to be the so-called 'Old Guide' to help me deal with Lin.
But this burly man ran out halfway and begged the 'Old Guide' to help him return to his original Fei Xue world.
In her panic, Shannu randomly pointed him to a random world.
The burly man was successfully warped away.
This scene won Lin's trust.
However!
However!
The world Shannu pointed him to was a world where all men had gone extinct, leaving only women!
I didn't think I would run into him here.
— — -and he was a guy who failed to convert into a demon and turned into a dog.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask Buttercup: "Where did you find this guy?"
Buttercup replied: "There are always people who are willing to give up everything to summon us ominous demons to help them, you know"
"One day, I received some sort of summoning ritual, so I went to take a look"
Thinking of something, Buttercup's face reddened a bit and continued: "Then I found out that this guy was living a pitiful life, being used as some sort of tool day and night … so he was willing to give up everything in exchange for me to take him away"
"So you brought him to Void City?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes, I originally wanted to turn him into an ominous demon, that way I would have a helper, but his conversion failed, so I had no choice but to let him watch over my children"
"However, he unexpectedly awakened a few fixed-point warp abilities, secretly holding a few unique spatial warp channels. This became a backup plan of mine, so I left him at home in case of emergencies" Buttercup explained.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the burly man.
The burly man's body was as thin as a skeleton, his eyes were already black and blue, clearly having been tortured for a very long time.
This person … is also someone with a lot of misfortune.
He finally managed to break through the void of space with his martial arts and leave the Fei Xue world, only to go to the Gemini star, the world that forbade all supernatural powers.
He finally managed to leave the Gemini star, only to go to a world that only had women.
In the end, he was saved by Buttercup and brought back to Void City, but his conversion failed and he became a dog.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit apologetic.
He sighed and patted the burly man's shoulder: "You've suffered, I'm truly sorry about what happened to you, I — — -"
The burly man also seemed to have recalled the past, cutting off Gu Qing Shan's words and gritted his teeth: "This has nothing to do with you, it's all that Old Guide's fault, he threw me into that kind of world. One day, I'll definitely find him for my revenge!"
Gu Qing Shan went silent, not daring to say anything else about this.
Buttercup retracted her thoughts and told Gu Qing Shan: "There's no time to lose, the people of the Wraith realm might arrive at any moment, I'll have him open those spatial channels and send you away!"
"No" Gu Qing Shan resolutely replied, "I didn't know that the Wraith realm had such an ability before, but now that I do, I'll deal with the aftermath myself"
"You're not leaving?" Buttercup asked in surprise.
"I'm going to stay here until I become a Titled Hitman, then fight for that chance you mentioned" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Buttercup froze.
Indeed, only by becoming a Titled Hitman would I have a reasonable chance to enter the Wraith realm.
No one knows the secret of the Wraith realm.
This is the only chance.
Buttercup hesitantly said: "If they come to kill you — — -"
"Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir"
"Are you sure?"
"I'll try to smooth this over, if that doesn't work, then I'll just fight them"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan quickly thought of a strategy.
I can do my job while fighting against the Wraith realm, if they can't kill me, that would actually help my reputation.
Wouldn't that be faster for me to become a Titled Hitman?
He silently thought.
Buttercup patted the man's shoulder and said: "There's no need for you now"
The man turned back into the dog, ran out the door, and laid down on the stairs.
It was now that Buttercup sat back down on the sofa and muttered: "Very well, if we're going to play, let's play it big. If the wraiths dare to act recklessly, I'll go crazy with you"
Intense dark magic began to exude from her body.
All of a sudden.
The blank Card flew up from the table by itself, hovering in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The female voice from before spoke up again:
"Fiend, which Combatant of the Wraith realm do you have a grudge against?"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Buttercup's nervous voice immediately resounded in his mind: "Don't be careless, be careful"
Gu Qing Shan understood and sincerely replied: "I don't have a grudge against anyone, it's just that I want to kill them — — all of them"
The female voice asked again: "Why?"
Gu Qing Shan recalled what he saw during his Spirit Wanderer state, then recalled what happened in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
— — -those Wraith realm humans directly stole the Delimitation Artifact and released all the Apocalypses in the great tomb.
If I hadn't gone to the parallel worlds to call for reinforcements, the entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts would have been destroyed.
Li Qiu Yu and her younger sister, Zhao Qiong, Wang Shun, as well as countless others like them, would have died within the endless Apocalypses.
The worlds around the Tomb of Myriad Beasts would have been destroyed.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but clench his fist and casually said: "I'm sure you understand the Wraith realm's way of doing things — — - only by killing these Wraith realm humans and destroying the entire Wraith realm would I feel at ease"
"But if you want to go against the entire Wraith realm by yourself, you will definitely fail" the female voice replied.
"Things that haven't happened yet can't be said to be fated. Even if you can see the future, the future still has different directions, and it will ultimately be decided by our choices" Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — during his first meeting with Lady Fusi, Lady Fusi had also said that she could see several futures for Gu Qing Shan.
But Gu Qing Shan decided not to believe in these futures.
He would rather fight for it himself.
As soon as he made this decision, Lady Fusi was able to see more futures related to him.
— — this attitude of his was one of the reasons why Lady Fusi admired him and was willing to give him the Earth God's coin.
Hearing him say that, the female voice went silent.
After a long while, she slowly spoke: "I've found the faint glow of Elder Du within Primal Chaos, I've destroyed it and allowed it to return to Primal Chaos"
"Your killing of him will not be exposed"
"But since you had a conflict with Elder Du in the City Lord's manor, you should be careful of those Wraith realm humans trying to probe you"
After saying so, the blank Card returned to the table. Everything returned to silence.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Buttercup in shock.
— — what's going on?
Why is this City Lord's aide suddenly willing to help me?
Xiao Die was overjoyed.
"That's great, with her help, there won't be any issues this time!"
