Chapter 490: Chapter 125 Good and Evil Will Eventually Unfold (Seeking Monthly Votes with 5K)"Boss is formidable. Just advanced in rank recently and already so skilled with the cage and the lash. Thereâs no telling how powerful youâll become."
"Boss, if you strike it rich, donât forget your brothers."
They had watched in amazement as their leader absorbed the golden light from the "Promotion Drive" before they showered him with flattery.
Lump Face looked contently at his own Promotion Drive, closed the interface, and said coldly, "Itâs quite lively here today. Besides this lighthouse, there are two other groups of Transcendents, including that monk, who has a companion thatâs nothing to worry about. Thereâs also a suspected Pioneering Team, two men and one woman, three people in total. Donât let your guard down, got it?"
"Yes, Boss."
"Is the woman pretty?" the young man from the White Emperor Army asked, his eyes lighting up.
"Sheâs pretty alright, but keep your thoughts in check. We donât want any unnecessary complications..."
While admonishing his subordinates, Lump Face suddenly had a strange look on his face: "Those two men donât seem quite normal. Be cautious."
"Not quite normal?"
"Follow me."
The group stealthily merged into the shadows and, using the ability of "Shadow Stealth," moved unnoticed to the other side of the building under the cover of night. They sneaked into the second floor, not going any higher, hugging the wall and eavesdropping from the outside.
Lump Face motioned with his mouth, "Here."
The buildingâs walls were thick and soundproofed well, but they couldnât prevent such Transcendents from eavesdropping through the walls.
Soon, the singing and reciting from the third floor faintly came through.
One voice was a stirring, feminine tone that made one imagine vast highland sceneries.
The other voice was a robust male voice, so strong it seemed to fortify the eardrums, even accompanied by slight panting.
"Ah?"
The group of Transcendents blinked in unison.
Each voice could be endured on its own, but together they created a chemical reaction, forming a strangely harmonic chorus.
It couldnât be called unpleasant, but it was more like a kind of indescribable mental pollution, almost convincing listeners they were hearing the mumblings of an Evil God!
"Run."
"We canât stay here, canât stay!"
"Boss was right, these people should not be offended!"
Five shadows, five "criminals," almost simultaneously fell from the wall and scurried off, as if their souls had been shaken out of them.
The night once again fell quiet.
Only on the 13th floor, brainwashed by some Cultâs doctrine and not realizing they had already walked into a trap, those detestable or perhaps pitiable fools still maintained a fervent tempo, watching for the "blessings of the Evil God" to descend on them.
The night passed quietly.
The darkest moment before dawn approached.
Xu Shu had finished his poetic exchanges and was happily sleeping, replenishing his strength and spirit.
Suddenly, a soft creaking sound of the door being tampered with reached his ears.
This awakened Xu Shu, who already had light sleep in the Wasteland, in an instant.
He struggled to turn over in the narrow space under the bed, moving the "Narrow Sleeve Guanyin" aside, and watched the door warily.
He saw a small piece of light obstructed by the door gap, and a card slipped through the doorâs bottom edge.
Then, a womanâs voice from outside said sweetly, "Sir, have you seen my child? Could you help me look?"
Looking for a child?
A missing kid?
Xu Shu was slightly surprised but reluctant to move.
So, he grew an Eight Spider Spear from his back, with Spit Silk, and sent it flying, accurately grabbing the card and pulling it back.
The movement was smooth and fluid.
After advancing to Second Rank and spending some time reflecting, he discovered his First Rank abilities had significantly improved.
Without saying more, take the Eight Spider Spears, for example. He could now choose to extend just one of them rather than all, which, while slightly less powerful than the full display, had the advantage of being covert and quick.
Once the card was in hand, Xu Shu glanced at it and saw that it was a photograph.
But it was not the âmissing child noticeâ he had anticipated.
Instead, it was...
A photograph of a sexy and provocative woman in a seductive pose.
And it had some words inscribed:
"Quick, convenient, safe, and reliable."
"To enter a womanâs ocean is to find a manâs paradise."
"White-collar, teachers, schoolgirls, models."
Ah?
What the hell is this? Wasnât she asking if Iâd seen her child?
What the hell is this card about?
Xu Shu was stunned, feeling like his brain had been scrubbed with strong alkali.
Then, realizing her card had been taken, the woman outside seemed to be lying on the ground, speaking deliberately through the door gap: "Sir, my husband is infertile. Please help me; I want to have a child."
Her voice was sweet-sounding, seemingly young, tempting one to open the door and behold her beauty.
Xu Shu, however, was startled.
A child? Was this an on-call prostitute asking for help?
So the initial pretext of looking for a child was just a ploy to get attention, and now the ruse was too multifaceted!
Xu Shuâs eyes widened even more.
Damn, was this the so-called standard hotel service? But what time was it even...
He fumbled for a look.
It was already past four in the morning, nearly five oâclock.
He was speechless.
Have you ever seen a streetwalker at 4:30 in the morning?
I have.
Thatâs a bit too much.
Xu Shu wrapped himself tighter in his cotton quilt, turned over under the bed, covered his ears, and forced himself back to sleep.
After all, he had already relaxed once last night; he had no interest now.
Oh, of course, he wouldnât have been interested anyway.
His standards were too high for such things.
He snored away in deep sleep.
The woman outside seemingly didnât get a response.
The shadow blocking the door gap dispersed, and she slowly left.
Not long after, Xu Shu heard a very faint door opening at the end of the hallway.
Then there was a sharp, abruptly cut-off exclamation.
The noise was very quiet, easy to ignore if you werenât listening closely.
But Xu Shu heard it.
His eyes snapped open instantly, and he was wide awake.
