Divine Card Creator-Chapter 378 - Cry, Everyone! Cry!
Tian Du City.
It was very late at night.
In a place far away from the city, there was a mountain that was not very tall. The trees covering it dimmed the sky and sun and the landscape looked fine during the day. However, when night fell…
Wow—
A huge bird flew past.
A young man riding the huge bird landed. Staring at the location indicated on the device he was holding, his hands trembled slightly.
“I-is it here?”
He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
In his hands.
There was a squarish box with the words ‘Express Delivery’ on it.
Yes.
This was a delivery man.
His boss had had very good foresight. For a long time, his company had nurtured young Summoners or similar vocations to become delivery personnel.
Nowadays, everyone was busy with cultivation. Who had the time to cook?!
Not everyone had that thing called a card spirit mentioned in the news…
Therefore…
Their delivery service became very popular.
It was not uncommon for one delivery order to cost over a hundred or thousand yuan. However, the risk level was slightly higher than ordinary vocations…
They would often deliver meals to the depths of the forest or mountain.
Of course.
Many of these places were the cave residences of various big shots. Occasionally, the big shots would give them some pointers; everyone was happy to follow. However, there were also some unique addresses.
For example, that delivery…
“Who told you to be wretched!”
“Who told you to be wretched!”
The delivery man lashed his hands harshly.
As a delivery man who only looked at the price when accepting job orders, he grabbed the job immediately when he saw the price of 1,300 yuan. Afterward… he arrived at that strange place.
Whoosh…
Cold winds flew past him.
Faint mourning sounds could be heard from the mountain range.
The deliveryman trembled and his legs wobbled. A layer of cold sweat emerged on his face.
This was because this place was at the junction of Tian Du City and a neighboring city. It was also the most harmonious place of the two cities — The Legendary Eight Treasures Mountain Range.
Calm down!
Calm down!
The young man wiped his cold sweat.
He would take things as they come.
Isn’t this just a delivery order?
He took a glance at the address and there were a few more kilometers to go. For a cultivator, this was not a big deal. Everything would be alright once this was over. He then tugged at the huge bird…
It was not moving at all.
The huge bird looked terrified as it glanced in the direction of the Eight Treasures Mountain and didn’t dare move an inch.
The delivery man fell silent.
He looked at this month’s sales performance. If he did not receive any negative reviews for this order… He would go all out!
Whoosh—
He took a deep breath and stepped into the Eight Treasures Mountain Range.
Greeting his eyes was… a lonely burial mound to his left.
The following words were engraved on it: Grave of wife, Zhao Tiegen.
The delivery man fell silent for a long time.
He suddenly had an urge to beat someone to death. It was true. What a name. If he were to laugh out loud at this moment, believe it or not, he might die there…
That was too terrifying!
“I didn’t see anything! I didn’t hear anything!”
The delivery man muttered in his heart.
He followed the navigation directions. Along the way, he encountered countless tombstones and also more calm.
Well…
Steady!
This big shot most likely majored in some darkness-related kind of abilities! It was also possible that he was a patrol officer or guard of the Eight Treasures Mountain Range. This was very normal.
Well…
There was nothing wrong with that.
The delivery man felt more at ease at the thought of this.
Very soon…
He found the location. It was a hundred meters away, just after the corner in front of him. Therefore, he dashed toward that place happily. “Dude, your delivery…”
Shush!
His body suddenly froze.
After he walked to that corner of the mountain range, there was vast and spacious land in front of him.
Greeting his eyes… was a lonely wasteland.
There were no houses.
There was no security office.
There was no guard.
There were only numerous burial mounds with tombstones of various heights standing tall. It looked extremely ghastly.
…
The delivery man’s face became pale.
W-where is the person this is for?
Let’s go!
He instinctively wanted to turn around and run away. However, after carefully contemplating, he was already there and approaching the destination. If he were to give up now…
He would have made a wasted trip?
Hence…
He gritted his teeth and clenched both his fists. With veins bulging on his forehead, he took a deep breath and then gingerly said, “May I know who ordered spicy baby lobsters?”
Whoosh…
Cold winds flew past him.
There was total silence in the graveyard.
The hands of the deliveryman trembled.
Wiping his cold sweat, he simply placed the takeaway at the entrance of the graveyard and then left a message on the delivery app. “Dude, I’ll leave the delivery here. Take it yourself when you arrive.”
“Okay.”
He received a reply.
Afterward…
Bang!
There was a slight tremor on the ground.
Not too far in the distance.
At the navigated location, a hand reached out from under the grave, reflecting a creepy white light under the moonlight.
The pupils of the deliveryman dilated greatly.
Holy crap!
Is this normal?!
There is a ghost!
Terrified, the delivery man fled on the spot. He did not even want the takeaway box anymore…
After a long time…
A middle-aged man climbed out of the grave.
“Huh?”
“Man, your takeaway box.”
The middle-aged man waved his hands and transmitted his voice to the deliveryman who had already run pretty far. Afterward, the delivery man sped up further and hopped onto the huge bird at lighting speed…
Whoosh!
They disappeared without a trace.
The middle-aged man sighed. Cultivators nowadays don’t have a good mentality…
Shush!
He opened the takeaway box.
A familiar scent emanated from inside.
“It smells good.”
The middle-aged man’s heart stirred. He carried the takeaway box to the burial mound and then began to eat the spicy baby lobsters when crouching in it. That feeling…
“It’s fabulous!”
The middle-aged man felt very emotional.
However…
In the next moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain…
Well?
He looked down and was horrified to discover that both his hands had turned green. His face and skin were also turning green rapidly.
“Oh no!”
His countenance changed drastically. “It’s poisoned!”
The takeaway had been poisoned!!!
Buzz—
His eyes turned blurry.
The middle-aged man lifted his hand with difficulty and then hit the ground with a loud thud.
Not too far in the distance.
A man in black appeared silently.
“Is he dead?”
He walked over and kicked the body on the ground.
Well…
There was no movement.
Swoosh!
A gush of aura swept across Jiang Feng’s corpse. After confirming that Jiang Feng was dead, he paused for a moment and then cast Soul Impact on the corpse again.
Bang!
Bang!
Gushes of terrifying thoughts blasted Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng’s corpse did not move an inch. He was thoroughly dead.
Oh.
He was really dead.
Crash!
He kicked it.
He kicked Jiang Feng back into the coffin and then sealed it. “Since you like lying down that much, you can lie down forever then.”
Click!
Click!
Beams of powers emerged and he sealed the coffin tightly. He even buried back the surrounding soil and waited for a moment before leaving.
Jiang Feng is dead. Mission completed!
…
Under the moonlight.
There was pin-drop silence at the burial mound.
There was only a scattered takeaway box and baby lobster shells on the ground. The scene was very uncanny. That re-buried grave did not have any movement either.
…
Half an hour later.
Lu Ming and Xiaobai dashed to the Eight Treasures Mountain with the help of the communication device positioning system and Li Ergou’s geographical knowledge.
Afterward…
They pried open the grave.
Clang!
There was a deafening sound.
The coffin was forcefully opened.
A corpse with purplish skin was lying inside. Obviously, it had been badly poisoned.
Lu Ming was stunned.
Jiang Feng… is dead???
This is not logical!
Wasn’t he still alive earlier?
“Xiaobai?”
Lu Ming instinctively looked at Xiaobai. Xiaobai hurriedly switched on her communication device, only to discover that Jiang Feng’s name, which was still marked as alive before they ascended the hill, was now greyed out.
Xiaobai was also stunned.
Dad… is gone?
How is that possible?
There was a strange radiance in the depths of her pupils when she stared at Jiang Feng. She was seemingly looking for something.
“Something is not quite right.”
Lu Ming glanced at the takeaway box beside him. He initially thought that someone ate the food when praying during the day. He then looked at the scattered baby lobster shells on the ground and the ghastly pale look on Jiang Feng’s face…
“There is poison.”
Li Ergou’s expression was austere.
He was very experienced in digging graves. This was definitely an abnormal situation. Hence, he walked over and checked. “It seems that he has been poisoned. Furthermore, he has just died.”
Wait a minute.
How was this possible for a person who had been dug out of the grave?
Hence…
He analyzed the clues on the ground very seriously.
Afterward…
He came to a conclusion. “Xiaobai’s dad hid here by pretending to be dead here and ate the takeaway food. Afterward, he was poisoned to death?!”
Li Ergou was shocked.
Damn it. What kind of magic fantasy plot is this?!
A big shot who feigned death and hid in the grave, as well as that Assassin who hunted him down all the way here…
“Yes,” Xiaobai confirmed.
Li Ergou turned pale.
Sister, can you not look that calm!
Your father is dead!
Shouldn’t you cry at this point in time?!
Lu Ming pulled Xiaobai and reminded her, “Cry.”
“Oh.”
Xiaobai came to her senses. She then imitated the young ladies on the Internet and began to cry: “Waaa… Waa…”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Li Ergou was speechless.
He felt somewhat numb now.
Countless magical fantasy plots appeared in his mind…
For example, Master and Senior Sister decided to kill the father, Jiang Feng, due to certain reasons… and then inherit his estate and so on…
True enough, a vicious person has few words!
If that was the case…
Would he be silenced?
Perhaps.
This coffin looked quite big and could accommodate him besides Jiang Feng…
…
He was done for.
He had to die!
The more Li Ergou thought about it, the more frantic he felt.
“Alright.”
Lu Ming sighed and then fiddled with the takeaway box on the ground. “Ergou, do you know what magical fantasy is?”
“Huh?”
Li Ergou looked at Lu Ming.
“Humph!”
Lu Ming walked over and kicked Jiang Feng.
Oh.
He is dead.
However…
Can someone explain why a dead person doesn’t have a shadow???
Heh.
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
Swoosh!
He raised his hand and smashed the takeaway box toward a burial mound under a huge tree nearby. Just as the box was about to land…
Buzz—
The takeaway box suddenly rose and stopped in mid air..
Afterward…
It gradually landed.
Under the umbra of the huge tree, shadows circled and a figure condensed.
Undoubtedly.
This was their Jiang Feng.
“Are the spicy baby lobsters tasty?”
Lu Ming was expressionless.
This old dude was getting increasingly ridiculous in conning people.
Forget it that you conned other people in the past. You even conned Xiaobai now! You dared to feign death right in front of Xiaobai. Aren’t you afraid that Xiaobai would feel sad?!
The shadow was speechless.
After a long time…
He sighed. “How did you know that I’m not dead?”
“Because all the baby lobsters are gone…”
Lu Ming looked sullen.
Yes.
According to the plot of their analysis, someone buried the coffin after poisoning Jiang Feng. He then drifted away. Li Ergou had already confirmed this point.
In that case…
There was a problem. Damn it. Who finished eating the baby lobsters?!!
Who else could it be?!
→_→
Jiang Feng felt somewhat embarrassed.
He had just finished his food when Lu Ming and the rest came. He did not have the time to destroy the traces.
It was a sheer pity.
Li Ergou went berserk.
Is this really Jiang Feng? Crap! What kind of people are in your family?!
Wait a minute.
In that case, will the Assassin come back…
“Be cautious.”
Li Ergou was on his guard.
However…
He was speechless. Be it Lu Ming or Jiang Feng, they were very calm. Jiang Feng even consoled Li Ergou, “It’s alright. I’m used to this.”
Li Ergou was speechless.
Shush!
Jiang Feng’s shadow returned to his body. After the shadow and body gradually integrated, there was a surge of energy and the poison in the body dissipated rapidly. Jiang Feng’s complexion also returned to normal.
“Phew—”
“I feel best when I’m in my own body.”
Jiang Feng exclaimed emotionally, “When I’m a shadow, I have an urge to sing and dance… Tsk tsk. The fruits in the World of Darkness and Shadows do have some shortcomings.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Oh.
It turned out that Jiang Feng was also taking basketball fruit.
But then again, hadn’t the World of Darkness and Shadows already shut down?!
Why was someone hunting down Jiang Feng?!
Lu Ming asked him all those questions.
“It’s normal.”
Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression. “The World of Darkness and Shadows is just one of the channels. Now that this channel is closed, other channels will be open. I heard that a few shops with pink decor have opened in the neighboring city. They have already commenced business. I have to investigate them when I have the chance.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Are you really going there to investigate?
“However, this fake death has bought me some time from these guys.”
Jiang Feng was elated.
Afterward, he suddenly thought of something. He then looked at Xiaobai. “Girl, why didn’t you cry earlier?”
“Humph!
“I didn’t feel like crying!”
Xiaobai rolled her eyes.
She wanted to ignore her father.
He was too mean!
Earlier on, she had seen some strange things and felt that something was amiss… Otherwise, she would have believed that her father died… Dad is too mean!
He was like that when she was young!
He was still the same when he was old!
How annoying!
“Be good.”
“You have to pretend to cry when you see me dead the next time.”
Jiang Feng reminded, “This is the only way that you can conceal the truth from everyone. If you can’t do that, just think of the time when Dad snatched and ate your ice cream when you were a child…
“Anyway, just cry!”
Xiaobai was silent.
Lu Ming was speechless.
What kind of garbage father is this?!
…
