Chapter 295: Relax, Just Pretend You’re a Cosplayer

Qing Ming City.

In the shop.

Staring at the greenish Original Card, Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts. This was strange. It was a fine card. How did it suddenly turn green?!

“Did you do anything wrong?” Lu Ming asked.

Xiao-Xiaojian looked puzzled.

“Green...”

Lu Ming pondered for a moment. He suddenly glanced at Xiao-Xiaobai, which was cultivating by the side. “Don’t tell me you’re the one who did something wrong?”

Xiaobai looked puzzled.

This...

What did this have to do with it?

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Xiao-Xiaojian glowed fervently.

Lu Ming, that jerk, he actually insulted Xiao-Xiaobai!

Lu Ming cast a deep glance at Xiao-Xiaojian.

You’re already green. Yet, you’re worried about Xiao-Xiaobai? Don’t you know the consequence of being a simp?!

But then again...

Xiao-Xiaobai had been cultivating at home everyday and was obedient and sensible. It was unlikely that it would get to know other card spirits outside. Most probably this had nothing to do with it.

Well...

Green...

Lu Ming called his Original Card over.

A faint pink color was still present. Lu Ming sensed it and could vaguely feel a trace of the Phantom aura. In that case, the faint layer of green...

Buzz—

A surge of energy floated through the card.

Lu Ming could clearly sense a familiar and chilly aura.

This was... the sinister aura!

The sinister aura of the Restart Array!

Lu Ming’s pupils constricted.

Damn it!

Why would the sinister aura condense here?!

He was well aware of how fast Xiao-Xiaojian could absorb the sinister aura. Previously, a six-star python had almost been sucked dry by Xiao-Xiaojian. In the end, the python became useless!

Undoubtedly, because Xiao-Xiaojian was the kryptonite of the sinister aura!

However...

A faint sinister aura was actually condensing in its bangs. This situation...

“What’s the matter?”

Xiao-Xiaojian was suddenly nervous.

“Try to absorb it,” Lu Ming instructed.

“Huh?

Xiao-Xiaojian tried to absorb it. “I can’t absorb it.”

Lu Ming was silent.

Clearly, this was sinister aura but it could neither be absorbed nor removed!

It was identical to that pink stain!

Previously, it was likely that because the quality of the Phantom Legacy was too high and the tempering speed too fast, it had permanently stained the card.

It then resulted in a grand masterpiece— Pink bangs!

But now...

Because of the impact of the Restart Array...

Earlier on, Xiao-Xiaojian had rampantly tempered in the array. Although its ability had improved again, it seemed that it had been affected for the same reason.

Well...

This was the outcome then.

A brand new version of the grand masterpiece including the tamed sinister aura, —Green bangs!!

The green and pink color combination was invincible!

“What is this?”

Xiao-Xiaojian was super frantic.

It did not associate this with the sinister aura that it had absorbed last night. After all, that was not the first time that it absorbed an aura. There had never been a problem.

Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “You can call it green stone.”

Xiao-Xiaojian’s face turned black.

To hell with green stone!

Can other sword spirits turn into a stone?!

“It doesn’t affect your ability.”

Lu Ming consoled, “Work harder. I think that when this thing becomes greener, it will solidify into a green crystal and fall. We can even sell it for money.

“Green crystal...

“I think it can probably fetch a high price.”

After pondering, Lu Ming was actually slightly looking forward to it.

Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.

It suppressed its strong urge to kill its owner.

After a long time...

It then asked, “Do you know what this is?”

“Of course.”

Lu Ming pursed his lips. “Simply put, it’s like the pink color that you gained last time... When you were getting a kick out of absorbing the aura in the Restart Array, did you forget about this...”

“But it’s a sinister aura!”

Xiao-Xiaojian could not believe it.

In this world, there was a sinister aura that it could not absorb?!

“That’s why you have to be vigilant.”

Lu Ming focused his gaze.

It seemed that...

They had really underestimated the Restart Array!

At the Phantom Legacy, the color had been transferred because they had tempered for too long or too many times. However, yesterday, Xiao-Xiaojian merely soaked for a short while and it looked like that now.

It was really...

It was extremely ugly!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Xiao-Xiaobai, who was cultivating, threw it a disdainful glance and then distanced itself.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Were card spirits nowadays that pragmatic?

“See.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was filled with sorrow. “Xiao-Xiaobai is beginning to shun me...”

“Hasn’t it always been like this?”

Lu Ming pursed his lips.

“When did Xiao-Xiaobai ever bother about you?!”

Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly felt that all hope was lost in its life.

It still had a little hope in the past but it was all gone now.

It was too ugly!

“It’s okay.”

After contemplating, Lu Ming removed the picture of the fruit from his outdated iPhone and pasted it on the Original Card. “Is this better?

“In the future, when other spirit bodies laugh at you, just say that you’re cosplaying as an iPhone...”

Shush!

Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly turned silent.

It could barely suppress the murderous intent coursing through its body.

This is bullying!

This scoundrel...

Sooner or later, I am going to make you...

Buzz—

The wristband vibrated.

Lu Ming glanced at it and was instantly surprised. “Zhang Wei?”

“Did you call me just now?” Zhang Wei asked.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly. “There are some things...”

“Come to my place to talk.”

Zhang Wei gave him an address.

“Okay.”

Lu Ming brought Xiao-Xiaojian along.

Afterward, they discovered that the place they were going to was the People’s Hospital in Qing Ming City. At this moment, Zhang Wei was on a drip in a private ward. Inside the drip.. was blood.

“What’s the matter?”

Lu Ming frowned.

“It’s okay.”

Zhang Wei smiled. “Something happened. I used my trump card and exploded too vigorously... I lost too much blood. I should be fine after a transfusion.”

“Are you really alright?”

Lu Ming was worried.

“It’s okay.”

Zhang Wei waved his hands generously. “Policemen like us have to be engaged in combat everyday. Blood loss is something that happens on average once a month. I’m already used to it.”

Lu Ming was silent.

Oh, you are used to it...

F*ck that!

Was this something that one should be used to?!

Of course.

This is not the main point.

It’s good that Zhang Wei is fine. The problem is...

“Who dared to attack you?”

Lu Ming looked solemn.

Who was Zhang Wei?

He was the police chief!

Although his ability was very weak, no one would dare to attack him! This was because his status was different. No would want to be blacklisted by the police!

Whether they could offend, were willing to offend or found offending worthwhile were three different things!

But now...

Something actually happened to Zhang Wei?!

“Who else could it be?”

“They are the only ones who can kill me... Haha. The mastermind has finally appeared! Those guys are really well hidden. Interesting... I can only say that Zou Shenglong and his team are very smart.

“Although they have failed...

“They succeeded in making these guys take his side and forced everyone to work for them and completed the unfinished mission!

“These guys... are really smart!”

Zhang Wei sneered.

He had made some guesses about some things. And now, he had confirmed his doubts!

The other party not only anxiously wanted him dead but also attacked him in a streetcorner. If his colleague had not come in time, he would have died!

At the moment, Qing Ming City was akin to an enormous cake!

Everyone wanted a piece.

And on this occasion, even the police were involved.

However, it was such a pity, despite all the scheming, they should not have laid their hands on him! Their attack had completely exposed them! Zhang Wei already knew of their existence!

Oh?

Lu Ming squinted his eyes.

These guys...

Was he referring to his higher-ups?

From Zhang Wei’s few words, he could already guess what had happened. It was no wonder that Qing Ming City turned out like this. Not a single seven-star big shot had appeared!

“Lu Ming.

“Promise me.

“If I die... If something major happens to Qing Ming City...”

Zhang Wei sent a name list to Lu Ming. “Publish this! I believe that if something really happens to this place, you’re the only one that will survive!”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming accepted the list seriously.

Afterward...

He came to his senses.

“Why is it that only I will survive?”

Lu Ming could not understand.

Old Zhang trusted him a little too much!

“The fact that you’re still alive is proof.”

Zhang Wei was in awe.

According to his analysis of Lu Ming, based on his ability to court death those past few months, based on the fact that he was still alive, it was already evident that this guy’s luck was shockingly good.

Lu Ming was silent.

This praise sounded... a little odd.

“You’re looking for me because of this, right?”

Zhang Wei changed the topic.

“The Restart Array...”

Lu Ming briefly mentioned something about the ancient tomb.

“True enough.”

Zhang Wei’s heart trembled.

From the moment that he was attacked, he knew that something was wrong.

“Ultimately, can we not avoid the Restart Array?”

“I don’t know.”

Lu Ming was not certain too. “They can no longer investigate the effect of the Restart Array. No matter what, the people of Qing Ming City have to be moved!”

“Is it going to be that easy...”

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly.

If these people were really the ones who attacked him, once he began to evacuate people, they would come out to bite like mad dogs!

“Lu Ming.

“You have to remember.

“Sometimes, when some people become evil, the damage is worse than that of purely bad guys...”

Zhang Wei sighed.

Those people...

They what it felt like to have someone after their lives:

Like a wild dog!

It was better to be dead than alive!

Therefore, the policemen treasured their reputations...

They... wanted to survive.

They not only wanted to enjoy the advantage of disregarding the rules but also wanted to feign being the nice guys and find excuses to continue exploiting their power!

They were much more greedy than one could imagine!

“Do you remember the rumor about the city massacre?”

Zhang Wei suddenly said.

“I’ve heard about it.”

Lu Ming nodded.

“That person...” Zhang Wei paused for a moment. “He was once a policeman.”

“What?!”

Lu Ming widened his eyes.

...

At this very moment...

Somewhere in an underground plaza.

A group of policemen was carrying out orders. Before their eyes were neat and tidy piles of black clothing. Both in style and color, the clothing was identical to that worn by the men in black.

“Remember, we’ll disguise ourselves as the men in black and no one will know who we are!”

“Understood.”

“If we are exposed...”

Some of the men were filled with worry.

“We’ll kill everyone then!”

A man had a crazy look in his eyes. “They can be used as a blood sacrifice. I don’t believe that I won’t be able to activate the Restart Array with the entire city as a blood sacrifice!”

“Are you mad?”

The rest were stupefied.

Blood sacrifice...

A massacre?!

Was this really something that a human would do?

“We don’t have a choice, do we?”

“I have children and a wife. I want to go home!”

“I don’t want to be chased and killed because of this. It would be equivalent to living a dog’s life!”

A cruel smile emerged on the man’s face. He looked at this group of people that he had coerced and bribed. “Remember, we no longer had a choice the moment we decided to take this path.

“If you want to survive...

“If you want to live freely...

“You will have to annihilate everyone!

“If the Restart Array cannot do that, we will do it ourselves!

“We will... massacre the city!”

His tone was cold and chilling.

“No!

“I can’t accept this!”

A young man stood up frantically.

He could not accept it.

After all...

From flouting the rules to being forced to kill people and then killing of their own accord, to finally massacring the city, there was a significant leap...

They were asking someone who hesitatingly broke the law to massacre a city?

Who would accept that?!

“I refuse to do this! I...”

That young man stood up.

Pfft!

There were flashes of blood.

His eyes widened. After he turned around numbly, he dropped to the ground with a loud thud.

Shush.

There was dead silence in the underground plaza.

“Remember!

“I’ve said this before. We don’t have a choice,” the man said with a calm voice, “I don’t have time to play the game of nurturing the villain inside of you and allowing you to slowly accept your greedy nature!

“If you don’t accept it... die!

“Now, are there any more objections?”

The man smiled.

Shush!

Everyone was silent.

“Very good.”

The man was very satisfied. “We’re not ‘policemen’, we’re men in black. We’re here to resurrect the Restart Array. No one knows about our existence!

“Don’t let anyone suspect us!

“Zou Shenglong and the team are dead...

“We will complete the remaining steps!

“Do you understand?

“If it were possible for me to go back in time, I wouldn’t let this happen! There has been a hiccup in the plan. No one wanted this. And it’s not like we have a solution, right? If you want to survive and become stronger, we only have one solution and one path. We have to persist until the end!

“Of course.

“Massacring the city is the last resort...

“Haha.

“If it is possible, I don’t wish to massacre the city either...

“It’s true.

“After all...

“You’ll have to kill until your hands shake... I once massacred a town. That feeling... Tsk tsk... It certainly didn’t feel good. This goes to show that I have a kind nature.”

The man smiled faintly and revealed eight of his teeth.

...

Underground.

There was total silence.

Everyone quietly put on the black clothing.

After a long time...

Someone entered. “I received some news earlier. There was an assassination attempt on Zhang Wei’s life and he is severely injured... Should we... After all, Zhang Wei may wreck our plan.”

“There’s no need to bother about him,” the man said nonchalantly. “The more we do, the more mistakes we make. Our urgent priority now is the Restart Array and protecting our identity. The rest can be done later!

“Zhang Wei...

“He’s a good-for-nothing. Control where he gets his news from. Ignore everything else.

“Remember!

“Don’t be involved in anything that is related to the police!

“Understand?”

He said coldly.

“Yes.”

Everyone obeyed the order.

...

At this very moment...

In the hospital.

Lu Ming was still feeling stunned.

Damn!

Are policemen like you guys that ruthless?

City massacre?

Before, he had thought of the police positively.

Therefore, he always thought that all policemen who had been led astray were like those in the novels. There were two kinds: those with complicated backgrounds and different beliefs or those who had a different understanding of justice. They were sick of being saints and decided to safeguard justice as vigilantes. Therefore, they decided to take completely different paths!

One guarded the city openly and the other in the dark.

Then one day, the two policemen with different beliefs fought each other. One was gay and the other Naruto, shouting out affectionately...

This is the standard plot!

What the hell is a city massacre?

They are going to massacre the city because they are afraid of exposing their identities?!

This is too frivolous!

“What do you think?”

Zhang Wei’s expression was calm. “Many of these people have families and children and secretly came here to do bad deeds. They are doomed if they are discovered. They can only massacre the city.”

Lu Ming was taken aback.

“They definitely didn’t think like this in the beginning.”

Zhang Wei’s gaze gradually turned cold. “But when a massacre is the only option... They will resort to it! This is for the sake of living freely in the future...”

He understood their thoughts too well.

Therefore, he was afraid that they would have to give an evacuation further thought.

“A—alright.”

Lu Ming felt that he had seemingly underestimated the ruthlessness of these people.

“What if I contact my sister?”

Lu Ming suddenly asked.

“Believe it or not, by the time your sister comes, Qing Ming City will have already turned into a sea of blood...”

Zhang Wei did not know whether to laugh or cry.

You are fine but they will be afraid!

Most probably, if they found out that Lu Yan was coming... Out of fear of being exposed, they would massacre Qing Ming City tonight and forcefully activate the Restart Array!

“Alright.”

Lu Ming surrendered.

What could he do when he encountered such an opponent?

He could not beat them as they were a group of five-star and six-star cultivators. Lu Ming would simply become cannon fodder if he were to confront them. He could challenge one of them but could he challenge the entire team?!

“There is still time. Let me think of a way.”

Zhang Wei had a headache.

In this kind of situation, one slip up would lead to a huge calamity!!! If they could find a valid reason and opportunity to evacuate people which would not antagonize the mad men, that would be great.

“You should go back. Be careful.

“Those guys definitely won’t dare to go berserk now. That group of second generation rich kids is still around. They will be taking a huge risk if they act now!

“So...

“Don’t force them to do so.”

Zhang Wei’s expression was very solemn.

“Understood.”

Lu Ming understood right away.

Qing Ming City was facing an unprecedented crisis at the moment. However, before he left, Lu Ming suddenly thought of something.

“Where were you attacked?” Lu Ming asked.

He felt that he should avoid that place in the future.

“It happened when I paid a visit to Senior Jiang.”

Zhang Wei’s expression was grave. “Just as I arrived at Senior Jiang’s doorstep, a large-scale attack was launched. They had a complete line-up and were extremely merciless!

“Humph!

“I could tell that they’re well prepared with one glance!

“Besides that group of policemen in disguise, who else could it be?”

Eh?

Wait a minute!

When he visited Jiang Feng?

Lu Ming’s expression instantly froze.

He suddenly felt that this group of hidden policemen seemed to have taken the blame for something huge...
