Chapter 25

Li Chenchen stood up and placed the paper money on the counter.

"Boss, the money is right here."

He did not need to use mobile payment, because for a Reincarnator, information security was almost synonymous with life safety.

Unfortunately, Bai Cangshu's identity information had already been grasped by him.

Just as Li Chenchen was about to leave, a young girl with dyed red hair took the initiative to lean in close.

"Handsome, add me on WeChat!"

Li Chenchen revealed a polite smile; this was the one good thing about the university town—there were many young and superficial girls who seemed to have an endless supply of hormones to secrete.

"No thanks, I have a partner."

The woman felt a bit awkward, but she still puffed out her chest and said to Li Chenchen,

"So what if you have a partner? It's not like you can't break up. Don't say anything else, let's take a photo first!"

Click! The woman leaned in quickly, her chest pressing directly against Li Chenchen's arm, which made Li Chenchen's expression even colder.

When the woman pressed the shutter, he instinctively turned his head, and only his profile was captured.

Afterward, he flicked his right hand, shook off the woman, and walked out.

"Hmph, what are you acting so high and mighty for? Actually, I don't think much of you either!"

The woman's remark only deepened Li Chenchen's stereotypes about this group.

To be honest, when it came to women, Reincarnators had many better choices; a thousand or eight hundred Dimension Points were enough to buy a female slave from a plot world, and that beauty from an "anime" world was truly incomparable to these common, vulgar people.

What's more, there were even cheaper pay-per-use services.

Reincarnators were, by nature, a group of desperadoes who lived with their heads on the line; everyone indulged in pleasure and gave free rein to their desires, so their thresholds were set very high.

It was difficult to give this kind of woman a pleasant look.

Li Chenchen turned and walked into the underground snack and bar street; he still had to continue inquiring about what exactly was special about that so-called "Monster," Bai Cangshu.

……

Beep, beep.

Bai Cangshu opened his phone, and a clear selfie appeared on the screen: a woman with dyed red hair was taking a selfie facing the camera, with the profile of a man behind her.

The man's hair was slightly long, hanging down to behind his ears, but his skin was delicate, his height was about one meter seven, not tall, and his build was well-proportioned with lean, strong muscles.

Bai Cangshu looked at the photo, lost in thought, writing and drawing on his hand, eventually crossing out each candidate until only one answer remained.

Possessing abilities similar to Prophecy or Divination, excellent physical skills, capable of performing various exaggerated movements, and having a certain preference for the image of a "Jester."

Fitting this profile, and excluding some purely spell-casting professions, Bai Cangshu knew of one with a very high degree of alignment.

Lord of the Mysteries—Diviner pathway, Sequence unknown, most likely Sequence 8-Jester, though it could not be ruled out that the other party dressing as a Jester was not for the sake of acting, but to deliberately mislead him.

Therefore, Bai Cangshu thought for a moment and positioned the other party's ability at the level of a Sequence 7-Magician.

The reason he did not position it higher was because Bai Cangshu believed that if the other party could truly reach the level of 【Sequence 6-Faceless】, theoretically, it would be impossible for people like Xiao Ning to track them.

A Sequence 7-Magician was actually already very dangerous; at this stage, the eerie and multi-faceted characteristics of the Diviner pathway began to manifest.

Not only could they use their hands to transfer physical damage, but they also possessed escape abilities like 【Flame Jump】, 【Paper Doll Tishin】, and 【Bone Softening】, making them very suitable for small-scale combat and difficult to kill quickly.

Moreover, at this stage, a Magician began to possess the direct damage capabilities of 【Air Bullet】 and 【Flame Manipulation】.

The lethality of an Air Bullet, according to the description in the book, was close to a custom revolver, and the method of activation only required snapping fingers or making a specific sound.

This was a stage with considerable lethality.

Bai Cangshu looked at Song Xian's business card on the table, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

He clearly felt killing intent from 【Joker Evans】, and the other party had indeed quickly found him to begin the hunt.

Such an enemy appeared even more dangerous because of the specialized divination abilities of the Diviner pathway.

He put away the business card; he had to kill this guy. — The red-haired woman giggled and sat on Xiao Ning's lap. She was originally a delinquent girl hanging around this street, but today she discovered that the Brother Ning who was very imposing in her eyes seemed like a different person. He wasn't laughing or joking, but was constantly and seriously arranging for everyone to do this and that.

His eyes were so fierce that it felt like if she made a mistake, he would eat her alive.

"Brother Ning, is it necessary for us to help that student kid so much..."

"At the end of the day, he's still just a student, and we aren't afraid of..."

Slap! The woman nicknamed Hongmei was grabbed by her hair and lifted up, then slapped to the ground.

She looked in disbelief at Brother Ning, who had been intimate with her recently and clearly liked her quite a bit, as he panted heavily at this moment.

"Shut up, you idiot!"

"Do you know what kind of person that guy is, to be wagging your tongue here?"

The place where the few of them were was a bar with quite good decor, overall in dark tones, with various colored light strips on the walls.

Because it was daytime, the bar was not yet open, and at this time, only this group was there.

The beaten Hongmei looked at the others, but not a single person spoke up for her.

Her friend, a girl with braces who was two years older than her, helped her up and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, that Bai Cangshu... is terrifying!"

She secretly glanced at Xiao Ning, and finding that he did not stop her, she continued in a low voice,

"You know this area used to be quite chaotic, right? This bar street often had various groups fighting..."

Hongmei also remembered this; at that time, she was still in middle school and was very afraid to get close to this area. Later, she saw Xiao Ning stabilize the scene and felt he was very imposing.

The girl with braces had slightly dark skin and was not as pretty as Hongmei, but their hometowns were close, and they had a good relationship.

"Actually... those people were all finished off by Bai... that guy..."

Beep, beep! The phone screen lit up, and Xiao Ning immediately stood up and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Brother Bai, it's me."

"Okay! I understand."

"I'll go do it right away!"

Two years ago, Xiao Ning followed a man named Brother Hu, and at that time, Brother Hu led over twenty people and was a very troublesome group in this area.

Brother Hu is very shrewd and rarely ends up in the police station; the bar owner and security guards can't do much about him either.

But one day, Bai Cangshu appeared, and he just kept following behind Brother Hu, mocking Brother Hu for having no guts.

In the end, Brother Hu got angry and told his underlings to teach Bai Cangshu a lesson together.

The result was that out of more than twenty people, over a dozen ended up in the hospital.

Xiao Ning was junior at the time and didn't dare to step up, and because of that, he didn't suffer any injuries.

He only saw that Bai Cangshu's physical strength was completely unlike an ordinary person's; with one punch, the sturdy Brother Hu was sent flying two meters away, then kept twitching like a dead fish.

What made Xiao Ning even more afraid was that Bai Cangshu had a relaxed smile on his face the entire time.

Some people smile out of complacency because they can demonstrate their own strength when bullying the weak.

But that smile of Bai Cangshu's, in Xiao Ning's eyes, had only one explanation—he was delighted because he could legally harm others.

"That guy is a true Monster."

He looked at the photo on Hongmei's phone and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the clean floor.

"Screw that son of a bitch, this brat is looking for death, yet he just had to come to our turf."

"Take him down!"

"Braces Girl, go add something to his drink, drug him!"
