Chapter 773
Sun Bumian
Orange-yellow light shot out from the gap of the train door.
But as the door opened, that orange-yellow light seemed to be affected by the Gray World, turning into a smear of white light... Closely following, a youth wearing a Tang suit slowly walked out from it.
Seeing this scene, the rapidly sprinting Jian Changsheng froze...
His eyes were full of blankness.
Before he could react, that person gently pulled down his small Round Sunglasses. Pairs of mysterious black and red rings like the pupils of an Awakened Lion nested and emerged in his eyes!
"Whether you are from the Scarlet Heaven Cult or the Integration Faction, picking this train is your bad luck."
The youth spoke faintly.
Jian Changsheng: ?
The next moment, the youth's sideburns became burning gold and red like the hair of an Awakened Lion, and were dyed black and white by the Gray World. An indescribable mysterious aura swept out!
In the void, a phantom of an Awakened Lion dozens of times larger than the train roared and descended. A sole like a giant pillar holding up the sky suddenly smashed down from the gray clouds!
Boom—!!!
Jian Changsheng, who had turned into a blood shadow, was instantly smashed into the cracked earth!
Flying dust obscured the heaven and earth. The figure in the Tang suit standing at the rear of the train calmly watched this scene, the rings in his pupils gradually disappearing without a trace...
He put the small Round Sunglasses back on, and after taking a deep look at the cracked earth, he turned back and walked into the carriage.
Clack—
As the metal door at the rear of the train was closed, the space inside the train was isolated from the Gray World again. The orange-yellow light silently blurred into the darkness through the small porthole.
The train went far away amidst roars.
An unknown amount of time passed before Jian Changsheng struggled to slowly climb up from the ruined earth;
Covered in blood, he glared at the direction the train had left, green veins bulging on his neck. Although the injuries weren't severe, this kick completely shattered his possibility of catching up to the train... Next, he could only rely on his own legs to advance.
"Damn it... Damn it!!!" The more Jian Changsheng thought about it, the angrier he got. The cheap face of that youth just now clearly emerged in his mind, burning with anger.
"You better not let me meet you again... Otherwise, I'll step your head to pieces with one kick!!"
Jian Changsheng spat, cursed and swore as he picked Chen Ling back up from the ground, and honestly walked along the railway tracks towards the end of the horizon...
The outline of a massive Realm was currently being sketched out not far away.
...
The Realm train slowly entered the station.
Amidst a burst of whistles, the doors of the train opened. A sparse few passengers walked out of the carriage. After everyone had finished walking, the youth hugging the Awakened Lion Head-dress and wearing a Tang suit came down unhurriedly.
"Mister, on behalf of all the crew members, I express our gratitude to you." A Train Stewardess waited respectfully at the carriage door.
"Small matter, small matter~"
The youth chuckled and was just about to turn and leave. Then, as if remembering something, he retreated step by step.
"By the way, I want to ask about something."
"Please speak."
"If I want to go to Wuji Domain, how should I go now?"
"Wuji Domain?" Hearing these four words, all the Train Stewardesses seemed frightened, their complexions somewhat ugly. They looked at each other and didn't answer, as if this had already become some kind of taboo.
"Yes."
"Mister... why do you want to go to Wuji Domain?"
"Not doing anything, just heard it's very interesting there, and wanted to go take a look."
"Mister, it's better if you don't go... Wuji Domain is not a good place right now." That Train Stewardess spoke nervously. "It's very dangerous there now, like an unstable time bomb. No one knows what will happen."
"Didn't they say some Ruling Proxy Group went there? Why is it still dangerous?"
"The Ruling Proxy Group... regarding this, you'll know once you go out of the station and look at this morning's newspaper. You've been on the Realm train this whole way, so you might not be very clear about some news."
"Oh~ Understood, then what if I insist on going?"
The Train Stewardess didn't expect this person to be so stubborn, and simply spoke directly, "Mister, then there is no way... Currently, all trains heading to Wuji Domain cannot operate. Unless you cross the Gray World yourself, you won't be able to go."
"... Alright then."
The youth let out a long sigh, walking towards the exit with some regret.
He walked to the exit door, and his footsteps suddenly paused. He looked back at the railway track that extended all the way into the Gray World. A thought appeared in his mind out of nowhere.
Crossing the Gray World... Speaking of which, could that weirdo on the road just now have walked over like this all along?
Mm...
Whatever, even if he came, what does it have to do with me?
I'm just an ordinary passerby A who Draw One's Sword in Aid when seeing injustice... The people from the Scarlet Heaven Cult and Integration Faction shouldn't dare to be too rampant in Tianshu Domain.
The youth walked out of the platform. After distinguishing the direction, he walked straight towards the nearby street.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers!!"
"Wuji Domain triggers turmoil again!! What is the fate of the Ruling Proxy Group?!"
"Absolutely blockbuster! Absolutely shocking first-hand news!! Only two kuai! Only two kuai..."
A child carrying newspapers rode a bicycle, coming head-on along the street.
Seeing this, the youth directly stopped him. "Little friend, give me a copy."
"Two kuai!"
"... It's already noon now, this isn't considered first-hand news of yours, you should give a discount!"
Regardless of the child's weird gaze, the youth pieced together one kuai from himself in bits and pieces, and handed it to the child with heartache. "I only have one kuai on me, no more!"
"..." The child rolled his eyes.
At first glance, this person's outfit looked quite nice, having style and depth. Yet in the end, after gathering for a long time, he only had one kuai on him.
After cursing "really pretentious" in his heart, he disdainfully took out a newspaper and stuffed it into the youth's hand, then turned his head and walked into the distance.
The youth wearing sunglasses didn't react much to the child's disdainful gaze. Instead, he opened the newspaper. After sweeping over the enlarged and bolded headline, his expression instantly became extremely wonderful!
"... As expected of blockbuster news... Now, things are even more interesting."
After the youth finished reading the newspaper once, he rolled it up, and then continued walking towards the street corner by himself.
About a few minutes later, he arrived in front of a seemingly inconspicuous grocery store. After sweeping a glance at the store name above, he walked straight into it.
The grocery store's location was extremely remote, and there weren't usually any customers. The youth stood firm in front of the boss, who casually cast him a glance.
"What do you want to buy?"
"... Buy a glimmer of hope."
The boss's eyes narrowed: "Show your identity."
The youth put away the small Round Sunglasses, took out a Playing Card from his clothes, and placed it on the table.
—[Six of Diamonds].
"I am Sun Bumian." The youth spoke calmly.
