Chapter 19: Killing Intent Perception

"The Public Space of the Infinite Dimensional Space is roughly a giant circular layout, divided into four parts: East District, West District, South District, and North District."

"The biggest difference between each major district is likely the sampling location used when summoning Reincarnators from the real world."

Clown glanced at Bai Cangshu and said with a smile,

"You are probably from Dongxia or Nihong, right? The East District has the most people from the East Asian region; because the population is thriving, it has always been the district with the highest intensity of competition."

Bai Cangshu did not respond, and Clown was not annoyed; he was nothing like a so-called "veteran," having no airs toward newcomers at all, seemingly positioning himself truly as a broker who takes money to get things done.

He led Bai Cangshu across the neat flagstone road, and Shanty Town began to appear on both sides—these were vast stretches of sheds built with tarpaulins, with simple stalls underneath.

Many Reincarnators were crowded into these shanties at this moment.

Clown Evans pointed at the large area of shanties here and said, "This is the biggest welfare zone for newcomers in the early stages of the Public Space—Shanty Town, commonly known as: Stall District!"

"Reincarnators will trade props, items, and currency they don't need here, or even anything that can be traded."

Evans's mouth split open, and he added, "Including the bodies of Reincarnators."

As always, Bai Cangshu had no emotional fluctuations toward such words, appearing to have no discomfort with the environment of the Reincarnation Space, which lacked any moral or legal system.

Bai Cangshu thought of his 5,750 Dimension Points and the even more precious Singularity, but he did not speak.

He continued forward with Evans.

After Shanty Town, the houses on both sides gradually grew taller, and the exterior walls became more refined, with some detached buildings featuring unique neon signs beginning to appear.

The surrounding roads also began to converge, as if vast areas were gathering here.

"This is where the public facilities of the Reincarnation Space exist."

"Including the Appraisal Office that can identify unknown miracles, the Alchemy Workshop that can repair and strengthen props, the Training Institute that can hone abilities and specialties, and the Rank Management Office where you can apply for challenges to raise your rank!"

"And behind these four major institutions is the miracle of our East District—the Goddess's Residence!"

Speaking of the Goddess, even this Clown Evans had his thoughts stirred.

"If you obtain something called a Singularity in your future adventures, you can exchange it for rewards at the Goddess's place; of course, there are some restrictions inside."

At this time, the two had already arrived in front of those four major institutions. The number of Reincarnators here was still quite large, and Bai Cangshu noticed that the most people were entering the Alchemy Workshop and the Training Institute.

Clown Evans looked around, feigned playfulness by covering his mouth, and whispered,

"I'll secretly give you an extra piece of information: in the Alchemy Workshop, there is a disguise service that allows Reincarnators to possess another appearance; of course, this is a paid service."

Bai Cangshu nodded. Although this information was useful to him, it merely saved him some time in observing and searching on his own.

Overall, it did not possess very high value, but he had no intention of breaking his promise; he still followed what Evans said, extending his right hand to meet Evans, who had also extended his right hand.

【Number Ex051 (Tao Baibai) is paying 300 Dimension Points to Number JK74195131 (Clown Evans), accept?】

The message appeared in front of both of them at the same time, and in this instant, both were startled.

Thump, thump...

The muscles in Clown Evans's face suddenly twitched, the stiffness quickly dissolved, and his mouth stretched toward both sides, his smile so brilliant that it began to look somewhat sinister.

But his heartbeat was so obvious.

Bai Cangshu slowly lowered his hand. He had changed his "Codename" in advance and, with a dark sense of humor, changed it to "Tao Baibai," but he had not expected that his number would actually have such a huge difference from the other party's.

In just an instant, he realized that the special trial of "Sin and Karma" was likely much more special than he had imagined.

He, this "Sinful Reincarnator," was perhaps a very special type among these Reincarnators.

He also understood why that powerful swordsman Reincarnator had chased him relentlessly back then; the other party must have obtained his number information when he attacked because their Spirit attribute was very high...

The smile on Evans's face could not be concealed.

"Ha, that really is an unexpectedly big harvest."

"Newcomer, shall I give you another important piece of information for free?"

He quickly walked a few steps toward Bai Cangshu, almost touching him. "Some big shots are looking for a stolen 'Card,' and it just so happens that at this time, a newcomer with a special number has appeared in the Space..."

"Tell me, what would happen if I released this news?"

Clown Evans looked at Bai Cangshu expectantly. He was very curious about how this newcomer, whose psychological quality was overly abnormal, would feel frustrated after knowing he had leaked the most critical information.

But Bai Cangshu suddenly chuckled.

"Mr. Clown, your performance right now is much funnier than when you broke your finger earlier."

He shook his head; even with the black mist covering him, Evans could still feel the contempt and mockery in the other party's words.

The smile that Evans always wore on his face slowly disappeared, and he took another step forward, almost colliding with Bai Cangshu.

But Bai Cangshu did not move an inch.

"Since the Space treats this kind of public market as a resource to give to Reincarnators, then there must be a rule that 'one cannot attack each other in any form' here."

As he spoke, Bai Cangshu extended his finger to poke at Evans, and sure enough, there was a layer of shackles that prevented Bai Cangshu from touching the other party's body.

Amidst Clown Evans's darkened expression, Bai Cangshu continued,

"I also know that Mr. Evans was actually waiting for me on purpose, right? You probably have some kind of ability for prophecy or divination, which is why you waited for my appearance without any deviation..."

"After all, without any bargaining process, giving up on other potential newcomer clients—for a real broker, this behavior is very stupid, isn't it?"

Only then did Evans realize that he had revealed a flaw right from the beginning.

He took off his hat and rubbed his face; the features on his face quickly changed into another appearance. At this moment, Evans had a fierce look, no eyebrows, and his face was full of jowls.

He looked at Bai Cangshu seriously, as if wanting to see through the black mist to clearly see Bai Cangshu's eyes.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a newcomer like you. As expected, Reincarnators with special numbers are all monsters..."

This fierce Evans did not continue to threaten Bai Cangshu; instead, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and something appeared.

【Ability Scroll: Demon Spear (C+)】

【Quality: Blue (Rare)】

【Description: A martial arts killing move born from Kengan Ashura and its derivative worlds, combining the powerful piercing attacks of the Kaiwan Style and the Two Tigers Style】

【Usage Requirement: Constitution > 15; possess Fist/Kick Specialty Lv4 or higher】

"I know you must have had a great harvest in the trial mission world. I want to use this scroll to exchange for the Singularity you obtained, if you have one!"

Evans looked at Bai Cangshu with burning eyes.

Bai Cangshu shook his head calmly.

"It is a pity, I do not have that sort of thing."

The two stared at each other calmly, and finally, Evans took a few steps back and raised his right hand again.

【Number JK74195131 (Clown Evans) is paying 300 Dimension Points to Number Ex051, do you accept?】

【Accept】

"For a Monster newcomer like you, I won't charge a fee; consider today's information an investment in you."

Evans waved his hand and left dashingly; he very generously returned the 300 Dimension Points to Bai Cangshu.

Only, from an angle where Bai Cangshu could not see, the corners of Evans's mouth revealed that signature smile once again.

"Heh..." Bai Cangshu watched Evans disappear into the crowd and likewise revealed a smile of interest.

He looked at the special attribute of this special Silver Plot Equipment on his body.

【Effect 3: Killing Intent Perception—The wearer can perceive the killing intent of other existences whose Spirit does not exceed their own by 2 times.】

"So this is Killing Intent Perception... what a truly disgusting guy, Evans."
