Chapter 185 Dark under the lamp
The whining cold wind blew through the hills, and in the jungle, a dilapidated dog kennel stood alone.
Jian Changsheng was huddled in the kennel, covered with a stained blanket, holding a piece of bread in his hand and biting it hard, it was his lunch today.
After receiving relief from his uncle, Jian Changsheng finally stopped digging in the trash can to eat. Although every meal was not full, at least he would not go hungry.
He wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, stuffed them into his mouth one by one, picked up the water bottle beside him and took a few sips, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come back to life..." Jian Changsheng muttered to himself as he looked at his body that was gradually returning to normal.
After all, [Blood Clothes] is one of the core skills of the [Shura] path. After a day of recuperation in the kennel, Jian Changsheng, who was already on the verge of death, has basically returned to normal. His strong vitality has repaired the deficit in his body, and his skin has begun to regain its color. .
The most important thing is that after several soul-breaking searches, his mental power has been polished to a terrifying level. Unknowingly, he has broken through the first level and entered the second level... It has only been more than ten days since he set foot on the Shinto. To be promoted in such a short period of time is shocking even if you look at the entire history of Aurora City.
Jian Changsheng's self-confidence, which had been ruthlessly shattered by Chen Ling, finally returned a little... Sure enough, he was still a genius, but he was born at the wrong time.
After eating and drinking, Jian Changsheng's thoughts became active. He looked at the swaying forest leaves outside the kennel and fell into deep thought.
It has been two days since he escaped from the Stars Chamber of Commerce. Those people outside should still be searching for traces of him... Although hiding in the kennel can avoid their eyes and ears as much as possible, hiding like this is not a return. thing.
What's more, the mysterious man who rescued him from the dungeon also said - "Fight your life...show us your value, maybe, we will give you a new chance."
The mysterious man had the ability to rescue him from the dungeon, so he would naturally have the ability to take him away. However, the other party did not do that. Combined with what he said, Jian Changsheng could roughly guess that all of this was possible. It is an "assessment" for yourself.
Whether he can join the Twilight Society may depend on his actions in the past few days... Jian Changsheng doesn't think the Twilight Society is interested in a coward who has been hiding in a doghouse for several days.
So, he must take action.
Jian Changsheng thought for a long time and already had an idea in his mind. He walked out of the kennel and cut the belly of his finger with the blade on his waist. A drop of scarlet blood naturally overflowed from the cut...
Jian Changsheng swung the drop of blood toward the distant roof. The drop of blood quickly broke through the air. As Jian Changsheng formed a seal with his hands, his figure disappeared instantly, and the next moment he appeared directly where the drop of blood was. The position fell steadily on the unoccupied roof.
Jian Changsheng looked back and saw that the kennel was already hundreds of meters away. The passers-by on the road did not notice anything strange at all. After all, no one would raise their head to pay attention to a drop of blood.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
This is the second skill that Jian Changsheng naturally mastered on the [Shura] path after being promoted to the second level, [Blood Dropping Tuo].
Unlike [Blood Clothes] which brings tenacious vitality, [Blood Dripping Tuo] brings Jian Changsheng the power of instant escape. With this skill, Jian Changsheng's already excellent life-saving ability has been improved again. This is the biggest reason why he dares to act during the day.
Jian Changsheng was wearing shabby black clothes, and bandages were wrapped around most of his face. It was impossible to see his appearance clearly. His figure was broken through the air with drops of blood, and he soon came to a busy street.
Jian Changsheng hid in a blind corner of the roof, looking at the majestic building not far away with his bandaged eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly...
There is the place where he once escaped, and it is also the place of his nightmare, the headquarters of the Stars Chamber of Commerce.
There was no point in escaping blindly. Jian Changsheng chose to take the initiative. With his strength, he would definitely not be able to defeat the huge power of the Stars Chamber of Commerce, so he could only hide here for the time being and look for opportunities... The members of the Stars Chamber of Commerce who dispersed to look for him You probably would never have thought that he would be hiding opposite the Stars Chamber of Commerce, spying on them secretly.
Jian Changsheng's eyes fell on the door of Qunxing Chamber of Commerce, the figures coming in and out, and murmured to himself:
"Those people in gray shirts are the handymen of the Yan family. At this time, they should really go out to purchase ingredients for tonight... The fourth young lady Yan Liuyan has just come back. She must have been out all night to seduce a man again last night, and she was very drunk. ...The one with the long hair is... Oh? Is the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce encountering any difficulties again?"
Jian Changsheng is familiar with these figures coming in and out. He grew up in the Yan family and knows the situation here best. He can tell what some people are doing just by looking at them.
Jian Changsheng hid patiently in the dark until the sky gradually dimmed, still motionless. In the evening, the vice president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce left the Stars Chamber of Commerce. Just when Jian Changsheng thought that he would gain nothing today, a A sneaky figure silently walked out of the side door of the Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and the figure walked along close to the shadows, as if afraid of being seen by others.
Jian Changsheng immediately noticed something strange about this man. Just looking at his back, he couldn't tell who this man was, but what was certain was that this guy definitely wasn't doing anything good when he went out... Jian Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately used [drops] Xueduo] followed.
…
At night, a series of rapid knocks on the door sounded in the courtyard.
Chu Muyun raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Ling in surprise, "It's only been a few hours... Is Wen Shilin so efficient?"
"……have no idea."
Chen Ling stood up and walked towards the gate.
Wen Shilin said last night that he would solve the press card issue for him, so Chen Ling did nothing that day. She just read and rested quietly in the yard. Unexpectedly, as soon as the sun set, someone came and knocked on the door.
Chen Ling opened the door and was slightly startled when she saw the person outside.
The person who came was not Wen Shilin, but the gangster leader who had been "employed" by Chen Ling before. Seeing Chen Lingzhen pushing the door out of this "mansion", the gangster leader was stunned for a moment, and his eyes towards Chen Ling became more and more intense. stand up.
Chen Ling had given them his address before, just to facilitate contact, but the gangster followed the address and found that it was a big house. He doubted himself for a long time... In his impression, Chen Ling did not seem to be very rich. I have to give it last.
"What? What happened?" Chen Ling asked in confusion.
"Boss." The gangster leader's expression became serious, "We found something..."

Sorry, brothers, I originally planned to resume the third update after returning from Beijing yesterday, but unexpectedly I started coughing and had a high fever on the way back. I must have contracted it in Beijing... This chapter was written when I had a fever. Chapter 1 It's already the limit, so I can only try my best to keep updating... I hope the fever can subside as much as possible and normal updates can resume. I'm sorry
