Chapter 1036: Black tuxedo

Li Shentan and Si Liren both lacked common sense, and their thinking had always been unconventional. To strangers, their actions did not seem logical at all.

But it did not mean they were dumb. They still knew what an “underground parking garage” was.

This was a place where people used to park their vehicles before The Cataclysm. How could there be any fucking treasure in here!

“Are we really going inside? It’s so dark. What if there’s a trap?” Little Liren said worriedly.

Then she watched Li Shentan cup his hands around his mouth and shout into the underground parking garage, “Hey, is there a trap inside?”

After waiting a dozen seconds, there was no response from inside. Only the sound of his voice continued echoing in the empty underground parking garage.

Hearing that, Li Shentan said in seriousness, “There shouldn’t be any traps!”

Little Liren was speechless and said helplessly, “Are you implying that just because no one answered you, there’s no trap?”

“More or less.” Li Shentan nodded with a smile before walking toward the dark underground parking garage without hesitation. “Wait for me here with the herb collectors. She’s still inside, so I’m going in to catch her!”

When Little Liren, who was standing behind him, heard this, she did not insist on following him in. Rather, she continued hovering outside the underground parking garage because she knew that Li Shentan had absolute confidence in capturing that lady.

If Li Shentan said that he could capture her, he could definitely do so.

The white beam from the flashlight swept across the underground parking garage. The vehicles parked there had already turned into piles of scrap metal. They were so badly corroded it was difficult to tell that all of them used to be vehicles.

Li Shentan paced slowly around the ruins. In the darkness where the flashlight could not reach, there would occasionally be sounds of slight disturbances. By the time he flicked it over, there would be nothing there anymore.

At the beginning, he thought this place was probably where the Lian tribe’s settlement was. But now it seemed like it wasn’t the case at all. The other party was just trying to lure him here.

This was the hunting ground the other party had carefully selected, so she must be very proficient at hunting in the dark.

Li Shentan shouted into the darkness, “Why don’t we step forward and talk about the Prosperous Northwest plan?”

As his words trailed off, he tilted his head slightly to the left. Amid the whooshes, an unknown, sharp object brushed past his ear and disturbed Li Shentan’s messy head of white, medium-length hair.

“I just want to talk. Why are you getting so worked up?” Li Shentan muttered.

But no matter what he said, the whooshing from the sharp weapons continued coming at him from within the darkness. Li Shentan attempted to search for the enemy’s figure with his flashlight while dodging the attacks.

But that girl from the Lian tribe hiding in the darkness was like an apparition. He could not see her at all.

Li Shentan thought for a moment and said, “Stop thinking about fighting and killing all the time. Why don’t I perform a magic trick for you?”

In that instant, a huge cloud of smoke went off around him. The apparition in the darkness seemed to be a little confused, so she did not continue sneaking in attacks at Li Shentan with her concealed weapons.

A moment later, the young lunatic emerged from the smoke. At some point, he had changed into a black tuxedo.

Li Shentan’s lips curled. “I’m gonna start looking for you.” He closed his eyes and switched off his flashlight.

In the completely dark underground parking garage, the air stilled. When another sharp weapon came flying at Li Shentan, he no longer tried to dodge it. Instead, he took out a playing card and flicked it.

The gray Joker on the playing card had a maniacal smile on its face, silently mocking its target.

In the blink of an eye, when the card and the sharp weapon collided in midair, that smiling Joker sliced through an iron nail and split it in two!

“I can do that too,” Li Shentan said with a smile with his eyes closed before vanishing on the spot.

With that, the apparition in the darkness suddenly turned from one to two.

The two sides kept attacking each other with the nails and cards in total darkness. The sound of metallic clinking could be heard in the air as the collisions sent fiery sparks flying.

The girl from the Lian tribe seemed to have sensed great danger as she started running towards another exit in the darkness. But at this moment, the roles of hunter and prey swapped. The cards flew towards her from within the boundless darkness and forced her to dodge quickly.

The girl somersaulted and twisted in the darkness with great flexibility to avoid the attacks. Then she flitted past the pillars in the underground parking garage and darted off into the distance like a swallow in flight.

But a second later, something suddenly lit up in front of her. She saw Li Shentan hanging upside down from the ceiling of the parking garage. He was using the flashlight to illuminate his entire face from under his chin, making him look extremely pale and terrifying.

Li Shentan smiled and said, “Found you!”

The young girl from the Lian tribe let out a scream. She had only wanted to scare the white-haired young man. However, she did not manage to do so and was instead frightened by him using the same method.

Before the startled young girl could say anything, a silver whirlpool resembling a bright kaleidoscope appeared in Li Shentan’s eyes at the snap of a finger.

Li Shentan said softly, “Quiet.”

It was as though someone were whispering in her ear. The eyes of the girl from the Lian tribe turned vacant and she became quiet.

When Li Shentan lightly landed back on the ground from the ceiling, he raised his flashlight and shone it at the young lady as he carefully sized up her.

She was dressed in very strange clothing that was stitched together from pieces of cloth, making it look extremely incongruous, like patchwork. As her top did not cover her navel, Li Shentan could even see her well-defined abs. Meanwhile, the pair of shorts she was wearing revealed the young lady’s slender but firm thighs.

After staring at her for a long time, Li Shentan muttered, “You’re quite pretty…. I want you to answer some of my questions. Why didn’t you use any other forms of attacks? Don’t they say that the people of the Lian tribe are adept at corpse and

poison refinement? So why did you only attack me using concealed weapons?”

The girl from the Lian tribe replied, “I only came out to gather medicinal herbs and did not expect to encounter any outsiders, so I didn’t bring my gold corpse with me.”

Li Shentan muttered, “Gold, silver, copper. Based on this sequence, you seem to hold quite a high position in the Lian tribe…. What about

poison? Why didn’t you use it?”

“The conditions for using the

poison are very harsh. I didn’t have any chance to use it,” the girl from the Lian tribe answered.

“What’s your name?” Li Shentan asked.

“Lian Yi.”

“It sounds very nice,” Li Shentan complimented. “How many people are there in your Lian tribe?”

“More than 1,300.”

“How many of them know how to practice corpse and

poison refinement like you?”

“About 400,” Lian Yi answered.

Just as Li Shentan was about to continue questioning Lian Yi, he heard Si Liren shouting outside the parking garage, “Li Shentan, have you caught her yet?”

Li Shentan quickly changed out of his tuxedo and put on his outdoor jacket again. “If Little Liren sees me like this, she’ll definitely say I’m showing off again!”
