Chapter 193: 171. Rainy Night, Bloody Water, Assassin (10,000-word chapter, seeking monthly votes) _3
Qing Chen squatted where the seedlings had lifted off, examining the dust and soil on the ground.
Just then, his eyes lit up. Indeed, the fine metal material in the dust was radiating outwards.
That was the shape of a magnetic field.
He suddenly felt a pang of envy. Who wouldnât want to fly? With that ability, couldnât you go wherever you desired?
Speaking of which, Qing Chen had still not had the opportunity to ask his teacher if there was still a chance to become a Transcendent after becoming a Knight.
Wait, Qing Chen suddenly looked up at the night sky. The direction the seedlings had flown was towards the desolate Mang Mountain, but Liu Dezhuâs home was in the south!
He returned home speechlessly and looked at the letter from the holder of the Devilâs Stamp: Have you decided what you want? Hehe.
Qing Chen impatiently wanted to reply to the letter just to disgust the sender.
However, just as he was about to take a knife to bleed himself, he suddenly laughed quietly.

No, no ⊠that was the senderâs final test.
Because if âQing Chenâ had nothing to do with the mastermind behind the scenes and did not know Liu Dezhu, then âQing Chenâ should not know that replying by blood burning was the method.
The method of replying was only known by Liu Dezhu and the person behind the scenes who would not bother informing âQing Chenâ about it for no reason.
Thus, the holder had kept asking what âQing Chenâ wanted but had never told âQing Chenâ how to reply.
If Qing Chen replied, the truth would come out.
The young man took a deep breath in his house. In this world, which had become utterly unrecognizable and filled with perils at every turn, dealing with those monsters lurking in the dark required utmost focus.
Thinking of this, he tore up the letter.
âAunt Jiang Xue, after dinner you and the others go to the station to pick up XiaoTongyunâs grandparents. Remember, donât go out after coming home.â
After speaking, Qing Chen changed his clothes and silently walked into the night outside.
He couldnât miss tonightâs excitement.
The air carried a hint of moist, fishy smell, and a gust of wind brought the black clouds in the sky to the south.
It was windy in this cold November weather.

âMom and Dad, how can I explain this, Iâm really not a vampire, and I can eat garlic,â Liu Dezhu earnestly said. âI donât know if vampires can eat garlic, but I can.â
The family of three sat at the dining table, which had food that looked extremely odd: chives stir-fried with duck blood, duck blood vermicelli soup, blood tofu, and spicy chicken blood.
All four dishes had one thing in commonâthey emphasized âblood.â
Liu Dezhu patiently said, âOf course, I know you are doing this for my good, but I asked for blood to write letters, not to drink⊠Itâs hard to explain it well, just trust me.â
Liu Youcai and Wang Shufen looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
Wang Shufen, smiling, served her son a spoonful of chives stir-fried with duck blood and said, âYou and your dad scared me to death today, but itâs good youâre not, itâs good youâre not.â
Liu Dezhu recalled his parentsâ tender care and chuckled, âDad, Mom, donât worry, our life is going to get better soon.â
âWhat do you mean?â Liu Youcai asked curiously.
âHavenât you heard? Many people have been making a lot of money by bringing back medicine from the Inner World,â Liu Dezhu said. âIâve got my footing now, so naturally, I will also bring something back to improve our lives.â
âDonât worry about your mom and me for now, just take good care of yourself,â Liu Youcai said as he took a sip of his drink.
âNo worries,â Liu Dezhu said cheerfully. âI know some important people over there.â
âBy the way, son, arenât there any dangers over there?â Wang Shufen asked.
âFor now, thereâs no danger in the Inner World,â Liu Dezhu replied. âIn fact, sometimes the Outer World is more dangerous than the Inner World.â
Now that Liu Dezhu had a good relationship with Qing Chen, he knew sticking close to him would naturally bring benefits.
Inside Prison No. 18, Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan followed the rules; no one dared mess with them.
At that moment, Liu Youcai suddenly expressed his confusion, âIâve never really understood how those Time Travelers bring things back.â
Liu Dezhu explained, âThereâs a mechanism during the travel process. For example, if I stuff a bottle of medicine in my mouth a second before traveling, when I return, I can bring the medicine back too, and then I can spit it out and sell it.â
âOh,â Liu Youcai nodded. âSo itâs like âimport-export tradeâ.â
Liu Dezhu was astonished, goddamn import-export trade!
But, truth be told, the term was quite apt!
Liu Youcai hadnât had a good chat with his son for a long time, so he thought for a moment and said, âWeâre out of liquor at home. Iâll go out later and buy a case of beer, and we can have a good drink together.â
Wang Shufen complained, âHeâs still a student.â
âSo what if heâs a student,â Liu Youcai said. âMy sonâs already 17. I was in the army when I was his age.â
Just then, Liu Dezhu suddenly said, âDad, donât go out tonight.â
Liu Youcai, curious, asked, âWhy not?â
âItâs very dangerous outside tonight, anyway, just donât go out,â Liu Dezhu explained. âAs long as we stay at home, we are safe.â
Liu Youcai and Wang Shufen exchanged looks.
They realized then that something significant was likely to happen tonight.
Just as they were speaking,
a small drone was slowly flying over the wall of the Xinglong Residential Area in the night.
