Chapter 319: The Grim Reaper Goes Fishing

Confusion was confusion, but everyone's reactions were still quite fast.

They stood up as well, and Ao Yulie even stuffed one last mouthful in with his chopsticks.

Most importantly, everyone had eaten their fill anyway, so leaving was just leaving.

"Walk and talk, or we won't make it in time!" Yu Yanbin walked out first.

The few of them arrived at the cashier, and Yu Yanbin directly threw out a few bills: "Private room 404, keep the change." Not willing to delay even a moment.

"Wait!" The auntie behind the cashier shouted loudly, and Yu Yanbin's body instantly tensed up, readying for battle.

Seeing Yu Yanbin's reaction, the other three also immediately tensed their bodies, and the atmosphere grew tense in an instant.

"Not enough money!" the auntie said, "350 total, you only gave 250, do you think I can't count! Leaving so fast, trying to dine and dash!"

The auntie's voice was extremely loud, clearly audible even in the fairly noisy hall.

Quite a few diners stopped their movements, all looking this way.

The scene quieted down for a time.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere instantly became awkward; after a few seconds of silence, Xiao Han paid the rest, making up the 350, and the group hurriedly left the restaurant.

Walking on the street outside, Yu Yanbin didn't speak, walking quickly in front.

A full fifteen minutes later, after seven turns and eight twists, everyone turned into a small alley they didn't even recognize before stopping.

"What did you discover?" Xiao Han asked; everyone very tacitly forgot the awkward situation just now.

They're all little partners, no need to rub salt in the wound.

"We may have been discovered." Yu Yanbin said, "We could think of faking IDs, the other side can definitely think of it too. And the mission info is clear, they know we haven't arrived yet, giving them five extra days to set up."

"We've most likely been marked!"

With Yu Yanbin's last sentence, the other three all slightly changed expression.

With skills and equipment sealed, the Divine Demon Walkers' strength is greatly reduced, same for both sides.

The first-mover advantage becomes crucial, allowing Divine Demon Walkers to gain intelligence, and even an advantage in mission world forces.

You have to know, even Divine Demon Walkers at full status have to consider the mission world's native forces.

Just being marked isn't much.

The key is whether the other camp's Divine Demon Walkers used these five days to "get on good terms" with the mission world's native forces, borrowing their strength.

The answer is most likely yes.

In a mission world like this, everyone's thinking patterns are probably similar.

Needing fake identities to act conveniently, Yu Yanbin felt that if it were him, he would definitely watch the people making fake IDs in this city.

You have to know, snakes have their paths, rats have their paths; this city inevitably has a formed underground black network.

Those ID makers definitely won't call the police, but that doesn't mean they'll suppress the news.

Once the other camp's Divine Demon Walkers set up in relevant places, they'll definitely get our camp's relevant info.

Even if it's just a few people's appearances — for the IDs, everyone took photos.

Didn't think of this problem before, just beat people up, took the money, didn't dispose of the photos either.

"If I'd known, I would've just killed them then." Yu Yanbin said coldly.

Womanly benevolence, putting our side in a dangerous situation.

"The situation may not be that bad, but we still need to be careful." Xiao Han said, "Or we lie low for a few days, see how things go."

"Can only do that." Yu Yanbin nodded.

By his estimation, enemy in the dark, us in the light, not lying low is just being a living target.

"How about we split up?" Pi Xiong clapped his hands, a sudden brainwave.

"And then get picked off one by one?" Yu Yanbin wasn't polite about it.

"Cough cough, pretend I didn't say it." Pi Xiong coughed twice, habitually shrinking his neck.

For the next hour, everyone carried out a certain degree of disguise respectively.

Like changing hairstyles, wearing a hat, wearing glasses, things like that.

Tang Luo dyed his white hair black, looking much more low-key; Ao Yulie wore a baseball cap and glasses, covering his appearance a bit.

Just follow these people slowly, it's pretty fun anyway.

Yu Yanbin shook his head inwardly, what's the point of being this handsome, not low-key at all.

But he couldn't ask others to ruin their own looks.

In this way, the group's image changed quite a bit from the start.

Unless someone stares for a while, otherwise it's hard to recognize they're the people in the photos.

The photos taken actually turned out a bit off.

"Master Xuanzang, your cat..." Yu Yanbin turned to look at Tang Luo to remind him, this cat is also an important feature, best to deal with it.

But he hadn't finished speaking when he discovered the cat staying on Tang Luo's shoulder had disappeared at some unknown time.

"No matter, no matter." Yu Yanbin swallowed his words back.

Speaking of which, he was still quite curious about the Tang Xuanzang and Ao Yulie pair.

They look really full of style, don't talk much, but give off a vibe of posturing like the wind.

However you look at them, they don't look like weaklings.

"That mage, can I ask a question?" Thinking it over, Yu Yanbin felt it was better to ask.

"Ask away." Tang Luo smiled and nodded.

"Are you a Fate Bearer?" Yu Yanbin asked.

This remark made Pi Xiong and Xiao Han both look over this way, while Dou Yiqing was a bit bewildered, not knowing what a Fate Holder meant.

Not everyone has the chance to come into contact with and get close to organizations like Walk Into Science and Martial Arts Mythology, and fully understand the intelligence related to the God-Demon Game.

"Yes, this poor monk's Fate is Tang Sanzang, and this one's Fate is the White Dragon Horse." Tang Luo said.

"Hiss..." Yu Yanbin inhaled a sharp breath of cold air, this is a true big shot?

He had heard of the legendary Fate Holders, those are existences that stand above ordinary God-Demon Walkers.

An ordinary Fate Holder, even without having survived six missions, is in no way inferior to other God-Demon Walkers who have survived six missions.

Moreover, the key point is, in this mission, only skills and equipment are sealed!

Fate Holders, because of the power brought by Fate Fragments...

"Mage, is your power still there? I mean, the power belonging to a Fate Holder, not skills and equipment." Yu Yanbin asked.

"Still there." Tang Luo nodded.

Only equipment and skills are sealed.

Even fused skills were not sealed, let alone other aspects.

Thousand Hands Cannot Defend, Glazed Nirvana Great Hand Seal, and Glazed Flame can still be cast; additionally, Tang Luo's Merit Jade Lotus and Gold Brick are not within the sealed range.

The Merit Jade Lotus is a life-bound magic treasure, needless to say.

As for the Gold Brick, it also suffered no restriction; perhaps it's because Tang Luo refined it?

Tang Luo hadn't figured out the specific reason either.

But it shouldn't be due to the "storage method," because Ao Yulie's Western-style small sword, which he put away himself, likewise returned to the space provided by the God-Demon Game, unable to be taken out for use.

Anyway, the Gold Brick can be taken out, and can be brought out for use when necessary.

"Great!" Yu Yanbin clapped his hands, "Then we can—"

"The other side should have a Fate Holder too, right." Xiao Han interrupted Yu Yanbin's words.

"Right!" Yu Yanbin startled awake, "I almost got careless again; no matter how you put it, we still need to keep a low profile right now."

"Over there... so lively." Dou Yiqing spoke, pointing to the other side of the road.

A huge crowd had gathered there, a hubbub of voices, and exaggerated screams could be heard.

"Probably some celebrity, nothing to do with us—" Yu Yanbin glanced over, the two words "nothing to do with" still not spoken.

His face suddenly changed.

"Did you see that?" Yu Yanbin asked.

He saw the sky, a black chain suddenly descending from the void.

The chain emanated black smoke; that smoke looked like the shapes of skulls one by one.

The chain dropped into the crowd, and soon screams even louder than before were heard.

Only this time the screams represented not excitement, but terror.

"Scatter!"

"Scatter quick!"

Shouts rang out from the crowd, and the crowd began to scatter.

Yu Yanbin saw the chain spreading out from the void pierce through a man in the crowd.

The man wore heavy makeup, his appearance rather effeminate; his body stumbled and was held up by someone beside him.

One hand clutched tightly at his heart's position; the black chain happened to pass through the heart's position.

No matter how the man clawed, he simply could not touch the black chain.

Before long, the man's struggling movements gradually ceased, and at the same time the chain began to pull upward, a semi-transparent figure pulled out from the man's body.

Looking closely, one would discover this figure is that very man.

Or rather, it is that man's soul!

The soul, pierced through the heart by the black chain, wrapped around the body, twitching slightly.

This scene involuntarily brought to mind fishing.

But the difference is, what's hooked up isn't a fish, but a human soul, like the Grim Reaper angling!

The black chain locked the soul and kept lifting; soon it vanished into the void.

That man also completely slumped onto the person beside him, motionless, devoid of breath.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Yu Yanbin said: "No way, only I saw it?"

"I saw it too." Xiao Han said, "But the others seem unable to see it?"

The crowd panicked, yet not a single person, like them God-Demon Walkers, raised their heads to look at the sky.

Probably, this is their God-Demon Walkers' "privilege."

"Book of Life and Death, is this the Book of Life and Death's ability?" Yu Yanbin said.

"Yeah, this is the Book of Life and Death's ability." Pi Xiong interjected.

"Hmm, what did you say?" Yu Yanbin turned his head to look at Pi Xiong.

Pi Xiong also turned his head, neck shrinking: "I think it must be the Book of Life and Death's ability, right? Could the enemy camp have such a formidable Fate Holder? Even if they did, why would they kill this little fresh meat?"

"True." Yu Yanbin nodded; just now he felt Pi Xiong's tone was a bit odd, so he asked once more.

"You guys say, could the Book of Life and Death be an equipment?" Dou Yiqing suddenly said.

If this thing were an equipment, oh my, such a terrifying ability, just thinking about it is exciting!
