Chapter 108: Who Is the Crow?

"I admit I've killed people, but that was because they were trying to kill me; I was only defending myself! In this lifetime I could never kill someone because of some thing, some item!"

"In short, despicable is the passport of the despicable, noble is the epitaph of the noble. Whatever you say, I will live properly."

"What's there to argue about? Aren't you curious about who Wu Ya is?"

"Are there other Wu Ya in our region?"

Cheng Shuili propped her chin and stared blankly, wondering whether to do it herself.

It's the end times, so this kind of thing seems quite normal, and killing Ai Mi Li is definitely a righteous act!

This is absolutely a great thing!

Cheng Shuili's gaze hardened; she took this case!

The regional channel is still asking which Wu Ya it is.

"@Wu Ya, is that you?"

【Wu Ya】: By the clear heavens, my lord, I am truly innocent!

"@Wu Ya Sir? You?"

【Wu Ya Sir】: Not, brother; I don't even know who Wanwan is.

"What exactly are you doing? A dying request! Asking for help to avenge, so willingly—aside from a big boss, could there be any other possibility?"

"Your analysis is thorough. Then dare you @ that person? Or do you need me to repeat that terrifying record again?"

"I don't know what you're afraid of; Wuya Dalao is still friendly, right? I dare say, @Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, did the boss give you the item?"

The regional channel fell silent for a few seconds before someone spoke again.

"No reply. I bet a dime he's killing someone."

"Do I need you to bet? Even without a brain I already know!"

Their guess was correct.

Cheng Shuili used the Designated Player Duel Card that Xinxue gave her, entered the ID and confirmed its use.

The card turned into a speck of light between Cheng Shuili's two fingers and vanished, without any sense of movement, and another car instantly appeared on the road.

Cheng Shuili didn't get out; she silently rolled down the window, and in the vehicle opposite, a person was biting a bandage to dress his own wound.

Cheng Shuili's finger rested on the rifle's trigger; the cold metal made her a bit more alert.

The wind outside the window swirled with sand, whipping past, scattering the strands in front of her forehead; hot air poured in through the open window, making it hard to breathe.

Inside the dilapidated off‑road vehicle opposite, Ai Mi Li was biting one end of a bandage while using her other hand to bandage her left arm.

Fresh blood had soaked half of her sleeve, spreading a dark red stain on the gray fabric.

"How messy,"

Cheng Shuili murmured to herself, braced the rifle against the window edge, and steadied the sight on Ai Mi Li's brow.

Ai Mi Li seemed to sense something, and her bandaging stopped abruptly.

She slowly lifted her head, her gaze crossing the less‑than‑ten‑meter gap between the cars, meeting Cheng Shuili's eyes directly.

At that moment, Cheng Shuili's finger trembled slightly, and the expression in her eyes was so calm, as if she had long anticipated this instant.

"You're Wu Ya?" Ai Mi Li loosened the bandage from her mouth, a strange, relieved smile curling her lips.

Cheng Shuili gave no reply, only gently pressed her index finger onto the trigger.

Logically there was no need for further words, yet the woman wasn't scared at all; there was not a hint of guilt over killing or looting, as if everything she did was meant to be.

It was truly bizarre.

"Did he give you the Driver Card?"

Ai Mi Li asked, and she actually pushed the car door open and stepped out.

She was short, with ear‑length hair, and the wound on her left arm was still oozing blood onto the dry asphalt.

This person was nothing like the fierce demon she imagined; besides the arm wound, a fresh slash marked her cheek, and her right leg limped, clearly having just survived a brutal fight.

Does this person know about the Driver Card?

Then that's odd; if she had spontaneously decided to kill for loot, she shouldn't know that Wanwan's item is a Driver Card.

Cheng Shuili was silent for a moment, then suddenly lowered the rifle, frowned and said, "I'll give you a chance to explain."

Ai Mi Li looked clearly surprised, paused, then said, "Wanwan and I have a personal grudge; I'm not killing for the card. Besides, that card was originally mine."

Immediately after, Ai Mi Li told Cheng Shuili a convoluted, over‑the‑top love triangle.

Wanwan was actually a cheating freeloader, constantly ready to kill Ai Mi Li, while Ai Mi Li was love‑obsessed, giving any good thing to Wanwan, only for Wanwan to use it to flatter another woman.

Cheng Shuili: "..."

For her, a lifelong solo, this was indeed a bit complicated.

"Evidence."

Cheng Shuili frowned and cut off Ai Mi Li's rambling.

Ai Mi Li clearly froze for a moment, then hopelessly said, "I can show you my chat logs with Wanwan. And these injuries—I've been a soldier for eight years; if he hadn't pretended to beg and then ambushed me, I wouldn't have been wounded."

Cheng Shuili propped her chin, thought for a while, and quietly said, "Perform a set of Military Body Fist."

Ai Mi Li: "..."

She was about to faint from heat.

Really.

"Can I fire from inside the car?"

"And your safety awareness is really poor; you realized I'm not the murderous demon you imagined and put the gun away—what if I was faking and tried to ambush you?"

Cheng Shuili: "..."

Did you even teach her?

She was wearing a cloak; if Ai Mi Li suddenly fired to ambush her, at such close range the bullet would ricochet, and the shooter would be the one who dies.

Cheng Shuili isn't lacking safety awareness; Cheng Shuili is reckless because she feels she has nothing to fear.

Ai Mi Li honestly went back into the vehicle, performed a set of Military Body Fist, and then showed Cheng Shuili her chat logs with Wanwan as well as the evidence she found that Wanwan intended to kill her.

Cheng Shuili nodded, already planning to go back.

Such a person, if they die, let them die.

Revenge? When will endless retaliation ever end? One should be more magnanimous.

A merged highway cannot be ended proactively.

Cheng Shuili sat in the shopping cart watching the regional channel, while Ai Mi Li in the other car made sporadic conversation.

"Actually, when I saw you just now, I really thought, dying like this wouldn't be bad."

Cheng Shuili said nothing.

"Everyone I know is already dead; in this ghostly place, food doesn't taste right and sleep isn't good either. Sigh, death would be a release."

Cheng Shuili still said nothing.

"Speaking of it, the air conditioner in my car was installed by you; I haven't properly thanked you."

Cheng Shuili coldly nodded.

Why does this person talk so much? But their skill is quite good.

Cheng Shuili squinted, then suddenly made an excessive demand: "Hand over all your supplies and cards as compensation for your murder."

Ai Mi Li's movement halted.

She slowly lifted her head to look at Cheng Shuili, her eyes sharpening: "Huh? On what grounds?"

"Just because you killed someone." Cheng Shuili's finger again rested on the trigger, "Either hand them over, or I will avenge Wanwan right now."

The heat wave on the highway warped the air, and the atmosphere between the two instantly became tense.

Ai Mi Li suddenly laughed: "Fine." She turned back into the car, began moving things out, "Food, water, medicine… they're all here. I have a few cards in my pocket; you can fetch them yourself?"

Cheng Shuili didn't move: "Throw them over."

Ai Mi Li shrugged and tossed the packet of cards onto the road between the two vehicles.

Cheng Shuili only then got out of the car, but the barrel stayed pointed at Ai Mi Li.

Just as Cheng Shuili bent down to pick up the cards, Ai Mi Li suddenly sprang up!

She lunged forward in a single step, her military boot fiercely kicking Cheng Shuili's wrist.

The rifle flew out with a sound, landing far away.

"You really…"

Cheng Shuili hadn't finished speaking, Ai Mi Li's fist was already whistling toward her, but Cheng Shuili grabbed it with one hand!

Ai Mi Li pulled hard, yet couldn't pull her hand out.

Cheng Shuili let out a soft breath; indeed she doesn't know any fist technique and has only fought a few times, but she is strong!

One strength breaks ten thousand methods!

"You said you didn't want to live? What's wrong with giving me the supplies?"

Ai Mi Li frowned, "I'm not dead yet. But rest assured, I don't intend to kill you; at most I'll punch you a couple of times to vent. But… you look so skinny, how is your strength so great?"
