Chapter 273: Yuan Qi, who has a strong sense of "stepping on shit", breaks through with a swagger

Imperial Capital, Night
Yuan Qi, who had just stood on the wall pretending to be a master and commanded the guards to deploy to encircle and suppress the "Death God in the Mist", was planning how to start his somewhat "deliberate" "performance".

Before the 'end' of the 'mission halfway', he was not prepared to show off his strength in front of others.

Instead, he planned to consolidate his image as a "horizontally trained martial artist" through performances on several occasions.

This will lower the vigilance of everyone, including the prey, and he can watch everyone quarreling with a smile before taking action.

He wanted to hide his strength until the end and attack the enemy by surprise.

But just as he was using his martial arts and roaring to attract the attention of the guards and several reincarnations, he was about to land gracefully in front of everyone and show off his prowess in front of everyone.

But he didn't expect that the accident he was accustomed to would happen to him.
-
When he just landed on the ground and was ready to show up and attract everyone's attention, he felt a soft "feed-stepping" feeling on his left foot.

[Oh no! The 'bad luck' that has been with me for the past decade or so is back.]

Yuan Qi certainly understood that he was not wearing sports shoes with carbon plate technology and air cushions.

Therefore, this "stepping in shit feeling" basically means only one thing - your left foot has stepped squarely on a pile of steaming, freshly baked dog shit.

This time of 'stepping on shit' was the 'bad luck' and 'bad luck' that always appeared before he encountered big things.

[But in the eyes of others, wouldn't I, Yuan Qi, become a clown with poor eyesight and a failed attempt at pretense?]

Therefore, the warrior who had just made an attitude of "Everyone, follow me, I want to show off" to the guards instantly blushed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into to avoid this embarrassing situation.

He never hoped that everyone would not focus their attention on him, or that there would be some big commotion or enemy attack to divert everyone's attention.
-
But reality is always contrary to our wishes.

Yuan Qi's "pretend preview" was indeed very successful, and the eyes of everyone around him were successfully focused on him.

Naturally, I also got a glimpse of his "stepping on shit".

Yuan Qi only felt that the gazes of the surrounding guards and reincarnations staring at him were like red-hot iron rods, infringing on the self-esteem he had always longed for.

He even anticipated what everyone was thinking from the strange looks in their eyes.

"Did this guy just step in dog shit?"

"How can someone not look at their surroundings when pretending to be awesome?"

"This guy has good strength, but his brain doesn't seem to be working well."

Feeling the strange gazes of the crowd on him, he looked at the guards who began to whisper to each other and seemed to be pointing fingers.

Yuan Qi, who was a little angry, made up his mind, exerted a little force with his feet, and with a light stomp, the neat bricks and stones under his feet were crushed into powder.

While spreading the pile of dog shit and sticking perfectly to the shoes, he also quickly destroyed the evidence of his crime of "stepping in shit".

Just as he was about to explain, the "big noise" that attracted everyone and that made him almost vomit blood happened.
-
The people standing on the street to set up defenses suddenly heard a deafening roar in their ears, as if the heaven and earth were groaning.

Then, a tremor like an earthquake came from under everyone's feet, making everyone stagger.

The guards who had been in uniform formation just now suddenly felt their legs trembling and were about to run away with their heads in their hands.

Apparently, everyone thought it was a severe earthquake and was ready to run away.

"earthquake!"

"Run!"

However, Yuan Qi did not panic because of this sudden crisis. Instead, he quietly felt the fluctuations deep in the earth veins.

At this moment, the air is filled with the suffocating smell of dust.

Yuan Qi's eyes were sharp as he stared at the gradually collapsing ground not far away. The abyss-like crack was like the throat of a giant beast, swallowing up the collapsed houses and the rubble in the sky.

Huge roars came one after another, as if the entire underground was struggling and wailing.

He thought to himself.

“This gap seems to be caused by the power of ‘realm’, but it is much weaker.

"Has another warrior appeared who's almost reaching this level? This mission has so many variables. Is it my 'bad luck'?"

"Or, perhaps someone wanted to cover up their actions and evidence, and used some means to destroy the earth veins, destroy the underground structure, and bury the scene?
"Interesting. If it's the Death God in the Mist, then this person is probably not a simple person."

Yuan Qi, who suddenly felt a little uneasy, decided to follow his intuition and investigate this mysterious figure.

At this moment, his intuition seemed to tell him that this person might ruin his hunting plan.
-
Yuan Qi had made up his mind, and his entire temperament suddenly changed.

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into an experienced hunter, waiting for the prey to reveal a flaw.

“It should be coming, Crack.

"[Death in the Mist] I am very interested in you now.

"I've decided not to investigate Fang Yi, who seems a bit strange but should be easily killable. Instead, I'll use my Human Pill Method to spy on and analyze your methods.

"Let's see how much weight you, the [Death God in the Mist], really have. Is this the 'unexpected factor' I should consider removing?"

Yuan Qi muttered to himself, but his tone revealed a hint of expectation and indifference.

But in a moment, a long and narrow crack extended to his feet, carrying a power that seemed to devour everything.

This path indeed allowed Yuan Qi to drill into the ground, and some belated cracks appeared under his feet.

The gravel at the edge of the crack slid down gently, making a low friction sound, as if the earth was breathing.

Yuan Qi could feel the crack, and it seemed that if he was not careful at this moment, he would fall into the unfathomable darkness.

At the same time, a thick fog representing the identity of the "Death God in the Fog" also floated in the gap.

Yuan Qi stared at the crack intently, and used the little remaining 'fuel' to activate the [Human Pill Method] again.

"[Human Pill Method] Please analyze the main cause of this crack and explore whether any power of the 'realm' remains."

[Analysis in progress, the specific results are as follows]

The primary cause of this crack is the collapse of underground tunnels and cavities, and secondarily the destruction of the geological structure by the [Cracking] effect of [Alchemy] skills.

[Currently, I haven't sensed any trace of the 'realm' from the crack beneath your feet. Analysis concluded.]

As Yuan Qi listened to the analysis results, a sneer appeared on his lips.

"Hmph, a crude trick that can only fool fools other than me.

“The person who created this commotion probably wanted to bring fame to the Death God in the Mist and earn some great achievements.

“It turns out that I am overthinking things.

"How could a 'realm', something that should only belong to me, appear like a common sight in a world of this difficulty and with this level of quest progress?"

Yuan Qi was no longer on guard. He suddenly relaxed and started to slack off.

[Intuition can sometimes be deceptive. It seems I was overthinking it.]

【Let's just deal with it for now. 】

He immediately used the excuse of scouting the enemy situation and found a step on the street to wipe the dog shit off the soles of his shoes without leaving any trace.

Then he roared and began to give orders.

"Idiot! This isn't an earthquake!
"Everyone come back! Set up defense!
"Three people in a team, check for suspicious people!"
-
At the same time, Yuan Qi was setting up defenses not far away.

Fang Yi was talking to Kohler. The black man patted his chest and explained to Fang Yi.

"To be honest, I also think that this kind of government-led organization, although it has good benefits, does impose a lot of restrictions on people and doesn't give them freedom.

“If it weren’t for my daughter, I wouldn’t have joined them and taken the initiative to accept supervision.

"What's more, there are many factions within the area. In addition to conflicts between different spaces, there are also different factions, and the relationships between them are also complicated.

"It's normal for you to be unwilling to formally join and simply choose to become a 'partner' and use some of its trading and intelligence networks."

Fang Yi nodded and added something to the black man.

"Please pay more attention to the fire incident I mentioned that killed several people.

"If you want to contact me, you can leave me a 'cash on delivery' message using the space number."

Khloe made a zippering motion in front of her lips and said seriously.

“I understand the rules and will carefully seek out information about related incidents.

"I swear on my daughter's behalf."

Fang Yi waved his hand, interrupted the black man's oath, and asked another concerned question.

"I'm very interested in the example you just gave about how reincarnations in two dimensions can trade items with each other through a trading network.

"Can you tell me in detail about the news that the senior executive surnamed Zhuang from the organization in the [Reincarnation Space] is using the [Trading Network] in the [Real World] to find a [Bloodline Elimination] item for his daughter?"

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Kohler looked Fang Yi up and down before slowly speaking.

“I know very little about this matter.

"But regarding this matter, once you go out and log onto the [Trading Network], you'll be able to find out all the details.

"If you have this kind of item, it's best to check whether it meets the requirements through the trading network first, so as not to be disappointed.

"But this is all after we get out. Let's talk later. Miss Hei Tong is coming over."

As Hei Tong finished dealing with the "doll" and walked towards Fang Yi, the two of them ended the conversation at the same time.
-
The girl holding the knife took a deep breath, watched the two men stop talking, and then approached Fang Yi to report her work to the man.

"I have carried out all your instructions perfectly without compromise, please review!
"Please give us the next step, should we launch a breakout operation?

"My body has recovered and is in good condition!"

Fang Yi didn't speak immediately, but just reached out and touched Miss Heitong's head.

After comforting the other person like petting a small animal, he started telling lies again.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Hei Tong.

"Leave everything else to me."

Fang Yi slowly took off the cloak that Hei Tong was wearing, revealing the face that was 80% similar to the assassin lady, and wrapped the girl's body tightly.

Then a lot of blood was produced, turning the opponent's cloak blood red.

"My instructions are that you please play the role of 'patient' from now on.

“No matter what someone asks you, always say you don’t know.”

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Hei Tong nodded to indicate that he would obey Fang Yi's instructions.

Her little face was also full of confusion and puzzlement.

But the girl did not choose to speak out the doubts in her heart, but just used the [Imperial Tool] again, making her face turn pale instantly.

Then she leaned towards Fang Yi deliberately, put her arm around Fang Yi, and spoke in a low voice.

“Is this okay?

“Will it affect your actions?

"No matter what you say, I will listen to you and make changes according to your instructions."

Fang Yi's response was simply to lean towards the girl and whisper something that made the girl's heart blossom.

"You did very well, Miss Black Eyes."

Then he turned his head and prepared to explain his intentions to the black man.
-
Just as Fang Yi turned his head and was about to say something to Kohler.

Unexpectedly, the black man fully exerted his subjective initiative and took action on his own without waiting for Fang Yi to issue an order.

He first took off his cloak quickly and decisively, revealing his face.

Then, without changing his expression, he tore off his arm, which was almost healing under the influence of the [Curse], and let the blood gush out again.

After doing all this, the black man smiled at Fang Yi with his white teeth and said softly.

“How about this?
"I think this should satisfy your requirements."

Fang Yi nodded in approval, and his evaluation of the black man rose to a higher level.

[Yes, I can. My brain is very flexible.]

Then he explained to Hei Tong who was a little dumbfounded.

"Why should we force our way out?
"You two are now injured in the battle with the [Death in the Mist]!

"Remember our identities. We are members of the Hunter organization whose goal is to hunt down the Death God in the Mist.

"Behind us is General Esdeath!"

The girl was stunned for half a second, and then a smile with a hint of understanding appeared on her pale face.

Hei Tong first recalled the warrior who was brutally dismembered by him, and savored the pleasure of killing the enemy, then he spoke to Fang Yi in a somewhat cheerful tone.

“Yes, we are meeting up with Izo, who is also a member of the Hunter Organization, tonight.

“We are hurt!

“Mr. Izo, he died so tragically!

"[Death in the Mist] We are irreconcilable with you!"

The black man standing by heard Hei Tong's mournful speech, and he almost couldn't hold it together while enduring the pain of his broken arm.

He couldn't help but reveal his two rows of white teeth, and then let out a strange laugh that was a mixture of pain and joy.

The two of them swaggered down the street, limping along the collapsed road and following Fang Yi, who had an "angry" look on his face, to start their "breakout".
-
A few minutes later, Yuan Qi took command of the defense deployment.

A group of neatly dressed and well-organized guards stared at Fang Yi and the other two who were slowly approaching, raised their guns and issued a warning.

"Drop your weapons and don't move!
"Identify yourself!"

Yuan Qi, who was sitting quietly on the side, also opened his eyes and began to look at Fang Yi.

　The Zhuang mentioned in the article is Zhuang Zhengyan's Zhuang.

　　If nothing unexpected happens, Miss Trust will appear in the Death and Migration arc of Jujutsu no Sora and the next world.
