Chapter 108: Showdown Is Also a Kind of Game!

Inside the bedroom.

Su Ming silently packed his belongings.

Actually, there wasn't much worth taking.

Clothes, daily necessities, and so on could all be bought again at the new place.

What he did bring now were his parents' photo album, a radio, and other old items.

That's the advantage of being alone.

He arrived alone and left with nothing.

All the gadgets that truly drive the world mad are inside his Dimensional Reduction Warehouse!

Whoosh—!

The sky gathered dark clouds.

Midnight.

Cold gray raindrops arrived as promised.

Like a diligent street sweeper, they began to wash away all the evils.

The Corpse Mountain Blood Sea created by the Artists' slaughter feast has vanished!

Su Ming opened the Big Black Umbrella, slung his backpack, and walked out of the Slaughterhouse.

He locked the main gate and arrived beside the flashy Responding Dragon.

"Beep—!"

He pressed the key, and the car door opened.

Su Ming settled into the driver's seat, his fingers brushing the cold steering wheel.

Vroom—!

He floored the accelerator, and the engine hummed low.

The whole car tore through the rain curtain and sped away.

Waiting for Fang Tian and his crew to show up today is essential for him.

It's not out of spite, nor a display of force.

But rather…

A game of strategy!

When the other side's exact stance is unclear, seeds of suspicion stay buried in the heart.

The Official will treat him as a bomb that could explode at any moment.

They constantly contemplate surveillance, control, even dismantling.

And he will forever guard against knives from behind.

This endless internal friction is troublesome.

So, with enough confidence, why not open the skylight and speak plainly!

Lay out the road, make the carriage obvious!

【My parents' deep blood feud is the Unique Chip for cooperation.】

【If you can't produce the truth, don't bother me.】

He cleanly kicked the ball back to the Official.

This both applies pressure and gives them a chance to show sincerity.

As for this car now…

It can indeed be seen as a goodwill signal he tossed out.

This subtle tug is far smarter than flipping a table outright.

More importantly…

"Hehe!"

Su Ming grinned.

The moment he saw this car, he thought it was seriously badass!

He must get one!

In the car, Su Ming dialed Zhao Gang's number.

"Su… Mr. Su!"

On the other end, Zhao Gang's voice trembled and choked.

"Hmm."

"You… you're still alive! That's great! Really… that's great!"

Zhao Gang was extremely excited.

Obviously, he also saw the final Light Curtain.

He saw the 【Jing】 wearing a mask, stirring the world single‑handedly, topping the charts, whose fate was uncertain!

Others couldn't recognize him.

But he knew clearly that it was Mr. Su!

This call was nothing short of a divine miracle!

What kind of luck does he possess to follow such a being at the brink of despair?!

"I'm preparing to leave Jiangcheng for a while."

"Your side… keep working!"

"Yes! Mr. Su!"

Zhao Gang's voice was frantic, responding.

Su Ming was about to hang up the phone.

"Um…"

Zhao Gang suddenly stammered, his tone oddly hesitant.

"Mr. Su… there's something, I don't know if I should say…"

"Speak."

Su Ming raised an eyebrow.

"It's about Xing He…"

Zhao Gang's voice dropped to a very low pitch, trembling a bit.

"She seems… a little off…"

Hm?!

Su Ming felt a sudden thump in his chest.

Off?!

Because of Source Blood?

"Give the details."

Su Ming's voice also sank.

"It's… it's…"

"We were too excited the past two days and didn't notice…"

"After you went out today, I suddenly realized…"

"Xing He… she has no shadow!"

Boom!

The sentence sent a chill down Su Ming's spine.

No… shadow?

Raindrops hammered the car window densely.

Su Ming, however, felt an utter dead silence around him.

In any context, those words are downright terrifying!

This is beyond what Source Blood refined through Heart Blood Tree can explain!

"Mr. Su? Are you still listening?"

On the other end, Zhao Gang waited a long time without a reply, his voice full of anxiety.

"Does she know herself?"

Su Ming snapped back and asked aloud.

"I don't know!"

Zhao Gang answered immediately.

"Xing He herself didn't notice at all!"

"I was so scared my soul nearly left, but I pretended nothing happened right away!"

"Even my wife didn't notice!"

"It was so chaotic outside then, my mind wasn't on this!"

Su Ming fell silent.

"Continue observing!"

"Report any new changes to me immediately."

"Alright, alright, alright!"

Zhao Gang let out a slight sigh of relief.

This secret is too hard for him to bear alone!

Mr. Su's vast abilities might find a solution for him!

The call ended.

Su Ming's eyes were filled with startled doubt.

No shadow?

Is it some special device granting that ability?

It shouldn't be!

Besides these, there's another possibility...

Qualified Person?!

But...

Could it be such a coincidence?

What kind of Qualified Sequence could the shadow be?!

"Could Source Blood catalyze some special mutation?"

Can't figure it out.

If that were true, he should have mutated a hundred or eighty times by now!

"Or perhaps, Xing He has harbored something inside her from the start?"

"And Source Blood's life energy just happened to awaken it?"

"In other words… a portion of Qualified Persons need some activation medium?!"

Driving while letting thoughts wander!

"Hm?!"

After an unknown amount of time, Su Ming's eyes grew cold.

The fingers gripping the steering wheel paused slightly.

Outside the car window, the endless gray rain curtain stopped without any warning.

But the time displayed on the car's dashboard screen…

1:33 AM!

There are still three and a half hours until the usual Gray Rain stop time of 5 AM.

Something's off!
