201: Will you die for my wish?
“Shen Bei, you’re finally out!”
Jian Tong was wearing a pink puff-sleeved dress today, her slender neck appearing even more pure and fair, with a rare youthful aura practically overflowing.
She stood with her hands on her hips, blocking Shen Bei at the school gate, her expression serious, her tone subtly stern: “When are you going back to Changtu? My dad has been rushing me several times.”
Shen Bei was about to leave for Qinghe Bridge to pick up a key and cover a shift for Zhou Poshan.
Although he had already done this job once and gained the special attribute of Underwater Breathing.
His swimming speed could still be upgraded.
After receiving Zhou Poshan’s call yesterday, Shen Bei didn’t hesitate and readily agreed.
Now, being blocked by Jian Tong at the school gate, Shen Bei looked helpless: “I’m very busy.”
“Where are you going?” Jian Tong pressed.
“To see a friend.”
“A girl?”
“A guy.”
“That’s more like it.”
Shen Bei: …
This was the art of conversation; he had to leave room for her to concede after guessing, and then she wouldn’t make a fuss.
Shen Bei waved his hand and left directly.
“Hey! You still haven’t told me when you’re going back to Changtu!”
Jian Tong suddenly remembered the important matter.
Shen Bei thought for a moment, then turned back and said: “Tomorrow, I guess. Finish training early, finish early.”
Only then did Jian Tong manage a smile: “Then it’s settled. I’ll call Changtu back. Don’t you dare be late.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go even if it’s raining knives.”
…
Qinghe Bridge.
Shen Bei jumped off the bus about three hundred meters from the bridge.
He walked straight over.
The Qinghe Bridge in Lingnan City was actually called Qinghe Bridge No. 3.
There was also one such bridge in Changtu County and Kaiyuan City respectively.
The Qinghe River was a river originating from Taiyangshan Reservoir and Tianqiao Mountain Reservoir in Changtu County, flowing through Kaiyuan City, Lingnan City, and Shen City, then merging into the Liao River.
The river surface was not small, over thirty meters wide.
There were also many tourist boats slowly cruising across the river.
In the past, this river stank to high heaven, covered with garbage, and various domestic waste and industrial wastewater were dumped into it.
Especially the paper mills on both sides of the river, the pulp water flowing out was turbid and yellowish, forming vast mudflats like cardboard after drying on the banks.
Later, after heavy investment in Governance, the river water became clear.
From afar, Shen Bei saw Zhou Poshan standing in the middle of the pedestrian walkway on the bridge.
This position was very strange.
Shouldn’t he be waiting for him at the bridgehead?
Why did he run to the middle of the bridge?
As he passed the bridgehead, Shen Bei also saw a thirty-year-old man, wearing a vest, rummaging through a trash can.
The man found a bottle of drink, drank the remaining few drops, and then discarded the bottle.
Shen Bei: ???
Shen Bei truly didn’t understand this action.
Picking up trash but not the bottle?
He was truly a freak.
Shen Bei walked straight over, slowly arriving at the center of the bridge.
“You’re here.”
Zhou Poshan greeted him with a smile.
Shen Bei nodded: “Not late, right? What are you looking at?”
Zhou Poshan pointed to the leisurely cruising boats on the river: “The beauty of human life.”
Shen Bei scoffed: “That’s only for you.”
“What do you think?”
“Normal human life, nothing beautiful about it.”
Zhou Poshan was silent for a moment: “Our perspectives are different.”
Shen Bei was too lazy to play the literary youth card with him, so he extended his hand: “Give me the key, or we’ll miss the opening time.”
“Oh, alright, alright.”
Zhou Poshan feigned untying the key from his waist.
His finger trembled, and the key instantly fell to the ground, rolled, and then rolled down the drain.
Shen Bei: …
“It seems you’re really quite ill.”
Shen Bei rolled his eyes; he couldn’t even hold a key without his hand shaking, causing it to drop. He was truly speechless.
Shen Bei leaned over the railing and looked down.
Although the key fell in the middle of the bridge, a large amount of silt had accumulated near the bridge pier, and the key landed on the sandy delta-like soil.
Shen Bei tried to retrieve it with telekinesis but failed.
His recently Cultivated telekinesis only had a range of about ten meters.
The bridge deck was about 15 meters from the sandbar.
“Do you have another key?” Shen Bei turned and asked.
Zhou Poshan sighed and shook his head: “This is the only one. It’s okay, I can swim, I’ll just swim over.”
Shen Bei nodded, not declining: “I’ll wait for you up here.”
Zhou Poshan: …
Damn it, aren’t you even going to offer to help?
He had a very straightforward personality.
Zhou Poshan coughed: “You can hold my clothes on the bank.”
Zhou Poshan found an excuse, his goal being to go down with Shen Bei.
Shen Bei didn’t think much of it.
The two returned to the bridgehead, then walked down the embankment steps.
They arrived under the bridge.
Shen Bei was very surprised to see the man picking up trash, now sound asleep under the bridge.
Shen Bei even felt a bit envious; the sky for a blanket, the earth for a bed, truly making the four seas his home.
Zhou Poshan glanced around.
No boats, no people.
Only three people were under the entire bridge.
Now was the time!
Zhou Poshan stood by the water, slowly unbuttoning his clothes: “Shen Bei, I heard you’re also an orphan?”
“No, I have many resentful family members.”
Zhou Poshan was stunned.
Even Lin Wang slowly opened his eyes.
This information… was seriously wrong?
Zhou Poshan frowned, his tone almost distorted: “Family? You have family?”
Shen Bei shrugged: “Of course. For example, Du Ziteng, who worries about love; Qi Chuanyu, who is wise after the event; Niu Yanben, who loves to brag; and Liao Zhongyang, the big oaf.”
“Oh, right, and Professor Gu Xinrou, who stands on the shoulders of giants; and Jian Tong, who is mischievous.”
“I almost forgot, there’s also Gu Changfeng, who likes to eat cabbage.”
“They are all my resentful family members.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Poshan’s almost collapsing emotions finally calmed down.
So they were all his classmates?
Did he have some misunderstanding about the definition of family?
Zhou Poshan almost spat blood, but thankfully, thankfully.
Shen Bei still met his conditions for killing.
Zhou Poshan continued to unbutton his right hand.
Suddenly.
Without a sound, Zhou Poshan’s right arm suddenly swung out, turning around to punch Shen Bei behind him.
His face was filled with a smile of revenge, malice, and delight: “Then I’ll send you to reunite with your deceased parents!”
Whoosh~~
At this moment.
Zhou Poshan’s sudden attack, a single arm swing, actually created a visible circular impact, spreading rapidly like a wave from the tip of his fist to both sides!
Where the fist passed, the air carried dull thundering sounds, reverberating back and forth, showing the fierce and violent power it contained!
And Shen Bei hadn’t even noticed, still staring at the key on the sandbar.
It wasn’t until Shen Bei felt an urgent, persistent prickling sensation on his back that he noticed a dark shadow attacking from his right side.
Time seemed to slow down by half a beat.
There was no time to raise his arms in a defensive posture.
But then came a loud bang.
Shen Bei was sent flying backward like he had been hit by a siege ram, countless tiny blood vessels on his exposed skin profusely spraying blood mist, as if all the blood in his body was being shaken out!
Plop~~
Shen Bei was caught off guard by Zhou Poshan’s sudden attack, sent flying back over ten meters before falling to the ground.
Shen Bei looked up with a stunned expression, but his eyes were as calm and dark as an abyss as he looked at Zhou Poshan.
The power of a Four-Rank Martial Artist…
A psycho?
Shen Bei tilted his head: “Attacking me? If you don’t give me a reason, I’m going to get angry.”
Zhou Poshan’s Qi was gentle yet revealed a pathological madness: “Good Physique, quite resilient.”
At this moment, Lin Wang also slowly got up and walked to Zhou Poshan’s side, raising a pistol with his right hand, aiming at Shen Bei.
Upon seeing this action, Shen Bei suddenly understood.
“So it’s you two.”
Shen Bei got up, dusted off the dirt from his clothes, and wiped his cracked wounds.
Shen Bei’s face showed an indescribable excitement: “So you two are the ones responsible for the recent string of crazy crimes.”
From the vest man’s gesture, it was clear that Gu Changfeng’s “shot” was his masterpiece.
And his family situation perfectly matched Zhou Poshan’s target for hunting.
In fact, Shen Bei had felt something was off for a while.
But he simply couldn’t believe such a coincidence.
To encounter the killer Gu Changfeng couldn’t find while working a part-time job was truly too much to not overthink.
That’s why he was careless for a moment and suffered a blow.
However, it was not a big problem.
There was simply no intensity.
Zhou Poshan’s gaze was filled with brutality, cruelty, and heartlessness: “Should I say sorry? Apologies, I don’t have that habit. You fit my hunting target, so it can only be said that all of this is your parents’ fault.”
“I cannot bear to see orphans, although I am also an orphan. My lifelong goal is to eliminate all orphans in this world, to let them return to their parents’ embrace.”
“Shen Bei, are you willing to make a small sacrifice to support my wish?”
Shen Bei’s response was simple and direct.
It was a dull thrumming of Protective Aura.
The tremendous sound seemed to directly pour into Zhou Poshan’s soul, as if countless large drums were suddenly beating, startling him.
All his hairs stood on end. In his perception, it was as if a Thunder Dragon was pouncing at him, and the drum-like thudding was the powerful beating of this giant Dragon’s heart.
Then Zhou Poshan saw Shen Bei’s fist stir up the surrounding sand and dust, forming a dark, surging mud Dragon, which, with an overwhelming and fierce momentum, shattered layers of air and arrived before his eyes!
“Having a wish is a good thing.”
Shen Bei roared with a sinister grin: “But you shouldn’t, absolutely shouldn’t, set your sights on me!”
“What makes me even angrier is that I didn’t get to work my part-time job today!”
One Star Three Echoes!
“Die for me!”
