The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1026 Living and dying together
"Later on, the price kept increasing."

"But it's not entirely without its advantages. At least these thugs will attract tourists, trying to find ways to lure them over, even creating mandatory tourist attractions, bringing them all over in one truck."

"So you tacitly approved of these things from the beginning," Liu Sheng pointed out directly.

These words left the boss speechless.

In the end, all he could say was softly, "Yes...it's all my fault."

"But isn't that unfair to those who don't pay protection money?"

"Yes..." The boss sighed deeply, "Over time, these shops eventually couldn't hold on any longer and closed down one by one, leaving only the shops that had all agreed."

The boss's back bent slightly.

"But this way, it becomes a pure exploitation of consumers, which is not the kind of night market I want at all..."

“My night market has lost its reputation. Apart from out-of-towners, no one comes here. For these thugs, although they earn less, they have these shops to support them. It’s just a matter of patrolling the area, and there are no costs involved.”

"But these shops are doing worse and worse, closing down one by one. In the end, the only one who really loses is me!"

As he said this, his voice was filled with immense resentment.

Dark resentment swirled, turning the entire room into a dark vortex.

Even the rats skewered on the stove seemed to come alive, squeaking and squeaking.

Qiao Yu activated the talisman on her hand, protecting Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng simply stared intently at her.

"The fire that ultimately destroyed everything, wasn't it you who started it?"

"Yes."

He casually turned the rats over, watching the flames leap up and engulf them in charred remains.

"They're all a bunch of ignorant and greedy idiots... I said I'd treat them to dinner and drinks to thank them properly, and they actually came running like crazy. It's ridiculous..."

“However, it’s not over yet,” Liu Sheng continued. “Your obsession has manifested in this night market, and has trapped the remnants of these thugs’ souls, turning them into shopkeepers.”

"I hope these pieces of trash can experience the pain of being exploited..."

"But they also harbored great resentment and anger, so they rebelled and won."

The boss's voice was tinged with bitterness, "Yes..."

"So your night market has changed again. Your power is still enough to prevent them from changing the rules too much, but it is still unable to stop some bloody and brutal rules from appearing."

"The brutal administrator turned tourists who were drawn in through the abyss into shopkeepers by mistake, making them the targets of oppression. Some of them even became the administrator's accomplices, and everything went back to the old ways."

"Yeah... I just want to run a night market properly, why is it so difficult?"

The shopkeeper instinctively wanted to bury his face in his hands.

But they forgot that they had no face at all.

His hand landed awkwardly on empty air, and he finally put it down.

"But speaking of what truly led you to this state, it should be that...someone who was envious of your business, right?"

"That is... that black-blocked village."

Because all the relevant words had been erased, Liu Sheng couldn't say the real name either.

The entrepreneur, known as "Black Block Black Block Black Block," didn't see anything wrong with it and went along with it, saying:
“That’s right. We had already agreed on tax breaks and that I would give back to the villagers and build roads and bridges, but these people were still insatiable…”

"It hasn't even been developed yet, and it hasn't generated much economic benefit, but they already want to ruin this whole thing. That's incredibly short-sighted."

"But there's nothing I can do, I was too naive..."

"So, do you want revenge?"

"How do we get revenge?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, then gave a bitter smile.

"I've already taken my revenge. As for the culprit..."

"Not to mention, I no longer know where I am, and my hometown may no longer be found in another world..."

"Given my current state, I can barely leave, let alone seek revenge. Perhaps they've already..."

"I have a way to send you back to your past to take revenge, and maybe it can even resolve your obsession. Would you like to try it?"

"This……"

The shop owner was completely stunned this time.

He immediately refused.

"Impossible...it won't work..."

“I know that these shops exist as a form of business, and as long as all of this doesn’t disappear, they won’t truly die. The advantage is that it’s eternal, and the disadvantage is that we’re trapped here and can’t leave.”

"Of course, the most crucial one is you. You are the vessel and will of the entire night market. As long as your obsession doesn't dissipate, you will trap yourself and all the strange creatures."

"That's true..."

The shopkeeper lowered his neck, revealing a clear cross-section.

"Actually, I have thought about it—if I were to completely disappear, I could end all of this and break this endless cycle of restlessness. But I still don't dare. What if I really disappear completely, leaving everything to the other side? I don't dare to gamble..."

"Therefore you must sever your obsession."

"These administrators didn't appear out of thin air; they also have a carrier, which is your hatred."

Liu Sheng's words finally made the shopkeeper realize the truth.

Straighten your back and say seriously:
"Please tell me, what should I do?"

……

Zhang Anna felt that she was getting smellier and smellier.

Even the lingering smell of burning was no longer enough to stop it.

In particular, the administrators, who were still continuing their plan to collect the talismans, suddenly abandoned her halfway and rushed into the sea of ​​fire.

The smell could no longer be concealed.

It's like a sound.

Darkness surged in like a tide from the sea of ​​fire.

The tide undulated, with slender strips of flesh intertwined in the middle.

Zhang Anna's eyes were already blurred by the smoke, but she struggled to open them wide and look carefully before realizing that it was a large group of black rats!

It seemed that it was her scent that attracted these black rats, which swarmed in from all directions and quickly climbed onto her body!

"Go away!"

Anna Zhang was disgusted.

They danced and shook off the rats.

But the claws gripped her tightly, and she couldn't move at all; instead, they scratched her, leaving bloody marks.

He hurriedly took out the talismans in his hand, trying to shoo away the rats, but then he saw that the talismans had been burned to ashes at some point.

She wanted to summon the yellow paper and write on it herself.

But what was summoned was charred yellow paper.

Now she was really panicked.

She got infected.

This must be related to those charred shadows.

She finally realized—

She doesn't belong here, and she shouldn't even have come here.

But now she has gone too far and can no longer turn back in this burning, bizarre place.

Looking back, there was no way out at all, only a sea of ​​fire. All roads were blocked by walls of fire, and the last effect of the life-saving talisman on his body gradually burned out.

No!

Before she could completely use up the last life-saving talisman, she covered her head and rushed into the sea of ​​fire.

The life-protecting talisman flickered, and a fire snake licked her flesh, causing a large number of blisters to appear, with the flesh showing signs of melting.

And those ugly rats followed closely behind.

But it was scalded and cooked piece by piece.

That's fortunate.

As Zhang Anna ran through the inferno, she began to regret her decision to act alone.

If we honestly follow the path, will we really lose?

Not necessarily.

But people always want to take a chance.

She needs to keep working hard to gain reputation points.

After all, she wasn't like that Senior Brother Huo, a genius with exceptional talent and someone protecting her...

Just then, he suddenly saw a figure with a long sword in front of him, also stumbling and running.

Although he was also burned to a crisp and his body was somewhat twisted and mutilated, she could still tell from that rare longsword that it belonged to Huo Shu.

He actually escaped!

Moreover, he also saw Anna Zhang!
They actually charged straight towards her!
"madman!"

Zhang Anna didn't think the other party wanted to meet up with her.

The murderous intent rising from the sword like flames showed that Huo Shu didn't want anyone else to have a good time either, since he himself was suffering.

To make matters worse—at that moment, due to the prolonged burning of the flames, the life-saving talisman on Zhang Anna's body finally burst with a soft "pop," like a soap bubble.

Huo Shu's sword was already at his chest!
She barely managed to raise her hand, and a hidden blade popped out to block it.

However, Huo Shu retreated immediately upon contact.

His swordsmanship is extremely strong. Even now, with missing limbs, he maintains a very high level of skill, and even has an added touch of madness and suicidal frenzy.

Zhang Anna was utterly exhausted. She was already no match for Huo Shu in combat, let alone in this situation. She could barely lift her arm, but because the burned flesh was stuck together, she could barely raise it again.

He barely managed to walk with the steps of a warrior, and at first he was able to dodge, though he was somewhat disheveled.

But these were all techniques of Qimen Dunjia that Huo Shu had also learned. Although he had lost his mind, he quickly calculated them and blocked all her escape routes.

With a flash of the longsword, it severed her arm, which was concealing a hidden blade.

Then another flash of sword light appeared.

Half of her leg was cut off.

Fall directly to the ground.

He was still supporting his body with one hand, but soon he collapsed completely.

Because even that hand was cut off by Huo Shu.

She lay limply on the ground, her face covered in blood, sweat, or perhaps fluid seeping from the burns.

In short, through her blurry vision, she could only see Huo Shu's figure gradually approaching, and his wicked voice reaching her ears:

"Heh, if I can't pass the ordination ceremony, neither can you..."

"Huo Shu! If you dare treat me like this! I'll definitely tell my master when we get back!"

"Then just tell me..."

"But it all depends on whether you have the chance to go back..."

Zhang Anna now understood what Huo Shu was about to do, and was immediately terrified. "You can't! What are you going to do!"

"You understand what I'm going to do..."

Immediately, Huo Shu bit off his thumb, which was already only half left, and then painstakingly wrote a string of runes on the yellow paper.

This talisman was extremely complex, and the writing process was very long. Huo Shu even made several mistakes, so he had to make new yellow paper and rewrite it.

At the same time, Zhang Anna said tremblingly, "You can't...you'll stay here too...you don't need to make such a sacrifice for me..."

However, Huo Shu focused solely on completing his talisman.

Because the process was too long, Zhang Anna gradually came to her senses from despair.

Whether it was her imagination or not, the scorching heat seemed to gradually subside, and she was finally able to think and understand something.

"You can't go back...is that right?"

Huo Shu then raised his scarlet eyes.

He forced a cold smile.

"That's right, you've finally figured it out..."

"So you want to turn me into a bound spirit too, to be tied to this world with you..."

"We can keep each other company, so we won't be lonely, isn't that good?"

But Zhang Anna knew very well that she and Huo Shuke did not have such a relationship; he just wanted to drag her into this mess.

Her heart grew colder and colder.

Like the gradually calming sea of ​​fire around us.

But neither of them noticed; they were simply engrossed in the game.

Huo Shu is finally about to finish.

A cruel smile appeared on his charred face.

Although Zhang Anna has lost both hands and one foot, she seems to have no ability to fight back.

But of course she didn't want to be buried with Huo Shu.

So she had already bitten the tip of her tongue and quietly slid it around in her mouth, trying to draw a simple rune.

She was unable to describe anything more complex.

We can only pick what's usable.

I failed several times.

Finally, it worked.

Huo Shu's book is also complete.

Just as he was about to activate the talisman on Zhang Anna, he was sprayed with a mouthful of blood foam on his face, and a burning and corrosive pain made him scream out loud.

Huo Shu can no longer see.

The face, already corroded, is now an even more appalling sight.

The eyeball is gone.

The nose was gone, revealing only the white bones.

“Ahhhhh——!”

Huo Shu was filled with resentment.

She covered her face, screaming and rolling around incessantly.

Zhang Anna writhed, flipped her body, and tried to drag herself away from him by scraping the ground with her remaining feet.

Although it was slow and I felt a tingling pain all over my body, I still managed to move slowly.

As long as I hide and hold out until then...

She looked around at the extinguished flames and the gradually darkening night market, and felt a gentle breeze blowing away the burning pain in her body.

My heart is filled with the joy of welcoming a new life.

However, at that moment, a chill ran down my back.

A corner of yellow paper wrapped around the tip of the sword pierced through his chest.

Anna Zhang couldn't believe it.

This is the worst possible outcome.

She is about to die completely, whether here or...

As her blood continued to drain, she grew colder and colder.

The spiritual energy slowly repaired her body, but it was still quite limited, only prolonging her remaining time.

This turned into a long period of torment.

At that moment, two figures appeared in the blurry vision, slowly walking towards them.

It looks somewhat familiar...

Anna Zhang was still pondering.

However, when they saw the dog at their feet, they finally realized—

Is it them?
How did they survive?

No, how come they didn't die?
Moreover, as they moved around, the shops that had previously dimmed their lights began to light up again.

The lights were normal, and the charred parts were falling off one by one, as if welcoming them—

It was as if they were welcoming the host of this night market.

"They won...I was wrong...I was wrong..."

Only then did Zhang Anna realize her mistake.

However, there's no going back now.

"It's you!"

With a sharp shout.

A figure flashed from behind her and into front of her, a silver light flashing in its hand, as it rushed towards the two figures.

Huo Shu was clearly aware of this as well.

And even more furious!
Zhang Anna didn't know how Huo Shu, without his eyes, could recognize the two women and how he attacked them.

But it was clear that he had temporarily regained his sight or senses through some secret method.

As he brandished his longsword, he kept saying:

"You actually seized the core!"

"How did you manage to do that? You guys are incredibly stupid! Why didn't you just destroy the core directly!"

"Very well... In this way, as long as I kill you all, I'll have resolved this strange realm and gained reputation points!"

He was completely out of his mind.

He completely forgot that he was already tied to Zhang Anna.

This was also because he was extremely confident that he could resolve the situation with these two women.

Anna Zhang sneered inwardly.

Even if Huo Shu does gain reputation points, he won't be able to leave this place...

not to mention--

She stared in shock, her eyes wide.

The tall figure actually caught Huo Shu's longsword with his bare hands.

Before Huo Shu could react, he snatched it away.

"What?! How can you be so strong?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Shu's throat was slit and he fell to the ground. His extremely ugly face landed next to Zhang Anna, filled with shock and resentment.

The token on his waist also gradually faded.

Zhang Anna never expected that Huo Shu would die even faster than her, and that he would disappear completely from this place, just like her...

Within her remaining vision, Liu Sheng, who hadn't made a move, stepped forward, squatted down, and tried to examine her body, but in the end, he could only shake his head and gently close her eyes.

A sentence echoed in my ears:

"She's dead."
