I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 532 - 131: Teacher (4,000 Words) (Part 2)

The draught swept through the layers of illegal balconies, mixing the static from the radio, the scent of cough syrup, and the aroma of caramel chestnuts drifting from who knows where, blending into the thick breath of life.

"Life always finds its own way."

Somehow, this sentence suddenly appeared in Yun You's mind.

This applies perfectly to the residents of Rust Bay.

She took out her phone and glanced at the time.

January 2, 2078, 7:00 a.m. sharp.

It had been twelve hours since the battle in Steel Forest.

During this time, Tian En had gone crazy, calling her more than three hundred times, while Aurora and Frost Moon also made dozens of calls.

Unfortunately, the little girl was trapped in the Cosmic Library, unable to respond.

Now out of danger, Yun You quickly replied to them all.

And upon hearing that the girl was safe, Tian En and the others were relieved.

At the same time, there was good news from Tian En's side—Mokaka's condition had improved.

Although she hadn't woken up yet, after surgery, about seventy to eighty percent of her brain function had been restored, and with some rest, she should wake up slowly.

Knowing these things, Yun You was not too worried.

After all, there was still a week until the formal election, so there was no rush. She decided to take her time pondering the "riddle" Deng mentioned.

Speaking of Deng, Yun You recalled the third destiny revelation that Deng had promised.

According to that girl, as long as you open the Human Flesh Book, you can find out the answer.

Thinking of this, Yun You didn't hesitate and took the book out of her pocket, glanced at the cover, and opened it directly.

"Wham—!"

But the moment the book, made from human tissues, was opened, it suddenly exploded, all the texts and pages turning into candy! They scattered all over the floor with a crackling sound.

In an instant, the floor around Yun You was covered with candy, these fruit candies were transparent and sparkling, some were soft and others hard, all in different shapes, mostly cartoon types, like bananas and apples, and they looked quite nice.

This commotion instantly attracted a group of dusty-faced children.

The first to rush over was a curly-haired boy in modified work pants, his right rubber boot cracked like a carp's mouth, yet he stepped on the rusted pipes with the agility of an antelope... Following him were twin sisters with colorful insulated wires tied to their braids, poking out of the pocket of their frayed aprons was a doll fashioned from a gas mask.

"Candy! It's candy!"

A child called out in a young voice, and the entire ventilation duct of Rust Bay started to tremble. Countless bare feet leapt over the sewage channels at the same time, their dirt-brown clothing catching the wind as they ran, like countless triumphant flags unfurled.

The children, like little sparrows, kept bowing and picking up the candy on the ground in front of Yun You, who was only a few years older than them. Although there was some jostling, most of it was playful teasing, because there was enough candy to fill each of their cheeks.

Yun You was stunned for a moment, just about to say something, but then Deng's voice came to her ears.

"The last destiny revelation is..."

"In this matter, all those who are greedy will not meet a good end."

"Please remember this."

As these words were spoken, Yun You's heart tightened.

The final destiny revelation was quite straightforward.

The greedy ones will face retribution...

But what does "this matter" refer to? Is it simply about the children scrambling for candy?

If so, then wouldn't these kids be...

However, Yun You felt it wasn't the case.

Though Deng was crazy, she definitely wasn't someone who liked to kill the innocent.

Besides, since nothing bad had happened to the children so far, it indicated that "this matter" wasn't targeting them, and grabbing a few candies could hardly be considered greedy.

If so, what is "this matter"? Could it be referring to the upcoming election?

Yun You thought for a moment but shook her head.

Anyway, she believed that the so-called bad end was unlikely to befall her, as she wasn't particularly "greedy."

"Sister..."

While the girl was lost in thought, a young and tender voice interrupted Yun You's contemplation.

She looked up and saw that the children with candy-filled arms hadn't left. Instead, they were gazing at her with eager eyes, seemingly waiting for something.

Oh, Yun You understood.

They regarded her as the owner of the candy and were asking for her permission to take it.

This did surprise Yun You.

Because she truly hadn't expected these children to be so polite.

If they were the children of other slums, they likely wouldn't be so courteous and would probably just grab the candy and run.

Though these candies might seem cheap to the wealthy, considered low-end products not even worthy of display, for children unable to leave the slums their entire lives, this was indeed one of the few sweet memories of childhood.

Even the childhood version of Yun You probably wouldn't have been so polite, most likely stuffing the candy into her mouth first, tasting the sweetness, and then expressing thanks.

[It seems that these children either have a pair of sensible parents or a respectable teacher]

Master Zero's lazy voice casually came forth.

[Though compulsory education has long been a thing of the past, particularly in a poverty-stricken area like this, having a single tuition school is considered fortunate, and looking at these brats' attire, they don't seem like those who can afford schooling]

"Then it's a good teacher teaching them for free, right?"

Yun You shrugged, not finding it strange.

Although this world is utterly tragic, there are always idealistic eccentrics willing to give up their benefits to serve more impoverished people.

Honestly, Yun You felt she hadn't reached such enlightenment, but she genuinely respected those people.

Besides... these are just a few candies, so be it if given away.

When she thought about it, Deng probably meant to use a hopeless gambler to make candies for these kids, putting it to good use.

Realizing this, Yun You found Deng an interesting girl. Despite her odd methods, there was an undertone of righting wrongs.

It's just a pity she was trapped in the Cosmic Library, unable to come out anytime soon, otherwise, Yun You would definitely try to coax her to work... cough, cough... should say, collaborate with her.

"No need to be polite, take them and eat them."

Yun You waved her small hand, causing the children to cheer.

For a not-so-wealthy family, having so much candy, whether eaten or sold, was quite a treasure, capable of improving their life significantly in the short term.

"What's making you all so happy, children?"

Suddenly, a heavy yet gentle voice came from the distant small building.

"Get ready for class, hurry to the restroom if you haven't, or you'll be late."

Despite the voice's incredible gentleness, the children immediately stopped their uproar, quieted down, turned around obediently, and waited at the spot for the voice's owner to arrive.

For some reason, Yun You found the voice very familiar, like she had heard it somewhere, but couldn't quite remember where.

She patted the shoulder of a boy beside her, asking about the voice's owner, but the boy said only that it was their teacher, and they didn't know the teacher's name.

After thinking for a bit, Yun You just kept looking toward where the voice came from, waiting with the children for the person to arrive.

After a moment, perhaps because he didn't hear the children's bright responses, the voice's owner walked out from the building.

And the moment that tall figure appeared...

Yun You froze.

Because the person exiting the building was none other than her master.

The very person the entire Nest City Council feared, capable of influencing the whole city with a wave of his hand.

Elrond Gold.
