Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1295: Reunion after a long time

Such high requirements!

Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.

This meant two things: Firstly, that monster definitely isn’t simple, it’s something that a normal person wouldn’t be able to understand; secondly, Crow is a sharp person.

A Hitman of his level would definitely not be complacent about a job, meaning he must have studied all available information regarding the Void Storm Caverns before he arrived.

In other words, Crow might know what that monster was.

But he didn’t know that it would appear, so he was preparing to scout the situation himself.

It was after I gave him the advice that Crow became cautious.

He reacted very quickly and immediately began to discern my conjectures, after doing so, he decided against leaving and invited me for a drink.

This means that...

If Crow were to run into that monster, he would also die.

Crow himself understood this clearly.

That was why he decidedly left and even smoothed over Poison Bee’s death as thanks for my advice.

Gu Qing Shan was a bit bored.

In truth, everything regarding the Hitman Guild is secondary.

——-the most crucial thing is for me to find a way to enter the Wraith realm.

Another thought emerged from the scepter:

[Regarding the Void Storm Caverns, would you like to learn anything else?]

“No, do you have any information regarding the Wraith realm?”

[Yes. Intelligence regarding the Wraith realm is divided into four categories. Primary intelligence requires 4 points, intermediate intelligence requires 10 points, advanced intelligence requires 50 points, and top-secret intelligence requires 100 points]

So expensive...

And I can’t fight nor accept any new jobs right now.

Gu Qing Shan stood up and left his room.

While on his way to the Hitman Guild’s dorms, he stopped.

Tch—-

Time is so precious, it’s not a good idea for me to arbitrarily waste it all like this.

After some hesitation, Gu Qing Shan turned and headed towards the Hitman Guild’s lobby.

“Gongzi, do you intend to head out?” Shannu’s voice silently sounded.

“This place is the commonly recognized city of commerce for all monsters and species of the void, it’s surely going to be prosperous, so I’m going to try and collect some information about the Wraith realm” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“But all of gongzi’s means of combat have been sealed, wouldn’t that be too dangerous?” Shannu said worriedly.

“It’ll be fine. It’s currently evening, so I can use my Sumeru Thaumaturgy” Gu Qing Shan said.

Luo Bing Li abruptly spoke up: “Don’t be careless, even if you can turn into the orange cat, if an abrupt situation breaks out that calls for combat while you aren’t able to use your swords to stop it, there would be a lot of issues”

The Earth sword also said: 「 That’s right, there are many strong fellows in this Void City, and you won’t be able to fight for an entire day, so it’s best that you stay careful 」

The Chao Yin sword also ‘oong’ in agreement.

Gu Qing Shan helplessly said: “But I don’t want to just return and sleep either”

“Gongzi, how about you let me stay with you temporarily for your protection?” Shannu suggested.

“Haven’t you always been constantly by my side? Isn’t that enough?” Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion.

“”「 Safety above all else (oong)! 」”” the four swords spoke in unison.

A few moments later.

Two orange cats ran out from the Hitman Guild.

In the deep shade of darkness, no one could recognize these two orange cats, only very occasionally could a gloating ‘wu wu’ noise be heard.

[Orange Sovereign]

[Ghostly Shadow of Night]

[Spotless Jade]

Gu Qing Shan and Shannu had both transformed into the orange cat, running through the streets, climbing the tall structures one after another.

They gazed forward.

The entire city was bustling and hustling, voices resounded from every corner like a nightless city.

The metallic shroud-like city walls stood tall at the very horizon, occasionally receiving various airships to take in their cargo.

Sometimes, it wasn’t just airships.

Gu Qing Shan could even see a gigantic claw the size of an entire mountain range carefully reaching forward and putting something onto the wall.

Fortunately, the human form had been recognized as the most suitable for communication, so various species and void monsters all tacitly followed this rule inside the city, otherwise, this place would have been crawling with strange and unusual creatures all over.

——some monsters couldn’t even enter this world due to the sheer size of their true forms.

A few moments later, the city suddenly became bright.

A choir of angels used metallic ropes to tie up a black shadow, flying into the sky and disappearing into the shroud of night.

Under the radiance of the holy light, the two cats opened their eyes wide.

What!?

—–so angels also exist outside of the 900 million World Layers.

They weren’t species brought from the parallel world by the Bygone Era humans, nor were their strength restrained by the Divine race during the creation of the world.

How strong were they actually?

Gu Qing Shan noticed that although various skirmishes continuously broke out all over the city, no one dared offend the angels as they came and went.

The entire Void City stayed silent during that period.

After a while.

The hustle and bustle returned to the city.

The two cats also regained their sense.

“Meow, meow meow?” Shannu asked.

Gu Qing Shan looked around in the darkness, reached out his paw, and pointed in a certain direction.

“Meow meow meow” he said.

“Meow” Shannu nodded.

The two cats leapt into the air, quickly running in the sky before landing in an especially lively block.

Orange cat Gu spotted the familiar bar, then brought orange cat Shannu inside without making a sound.

This was the place where Gu Qing Shan had shortly made a stop when he first entered Void City.

He managed to learn a bit of information here, as well as seeing a human from the Wraith realm.

However, he had only just arrived at the time and was completely clueless. The number one priority for him at the time was to obtain an official identity, so he didn’t care about that Wraith realm human.

Currently, the bar didn’t have too many customers, so Gu Qing Shan and Shannu sat in a secluded corner of the bar, observing the few customers in the establishment.

There weren’t many of them, but the few that were here were obviously void monsters.

——–because although they had taken human form, they would either have more arms or more heads compared to normal.

If they had more body parts than usual, they were basically void monsters, since most cannot adapt to the feeling of having only two arms and legs.

Meanwhile, void species could take perfect human form, but they chose to retain certain characteristics of their race, like the elemental fairies always having an hourglass figure and a faint glow that followed their steps.

The two orange cats looked around, noticing that there were 5 void monsters, 3 non-human individuals, as well as a single girl who appeared human.

However, she was already completely wasted, her face plopped onto the table in her arms, making it impossible to discern any unique racial characteristics from her face.

The orange cat felt a bit suspicious, looking at the girl.

But the other party seemed to have already fallen asleep, not moving at all.

The orange cat turned his eyes away, silently listening in to the conversations of the bar’s patrons.

「 Finally, the cargo is done, come, let us have a drink 」

『 Do you have information on that Eastern monster? If you do, I’ll pay 300 void gold coins for it 』

“Give me today’s newspaper, bartender”

『 What? You said that world was eaten by a void monster? Which one? Tell me, it might be someone I know 』

At this point, a girl with a pair of horns on her head and with revealing clothes stuck close to a man as they walked into the bar.

“Give me a shot of Flame Desires” the girl breathed into the man’s ear, then gave her order.

“Make that two, and keep them coming, I’ve got money” the man generously tossed a few coins onto the counter.

The bartender soon served them their drinks.

The girl nibbled the man’s earlobe and whispered: “So, which species are you exactly?”

The man grinned and told her with a smirk: “You’ll find out tonight”

In the corner, one of the orange cats appeared confused, turning to the other orange cat.

“Gongzi, why would she know about the other party’s species tonight?”

The other orange cat was trying his best to appear indifferent, then sternly sent his voice: “They carry both considerable killing intent, so they’ll be fighting tonight”

The other orange cat appeared to have understood right after the explanation.

Suddenly, laughter resounded in the bar.

“Why wait? I’ll tell you both right now—— one of you is a human from the Wraith realm, currently trying to capture a real evil creature to complete your orders, while the other is a Demoness who just managed to escape the angels’ investigation earlier and still hasn’t managed to fully regain your sense. You’ve been laced with a wraith talisman seal, so after a while, you’ll probably be a sitting duck”

Everyone turned towards the voice.

A wasted drunk girl was resting with her face on the counter and several empty bottles of liquor right in front of her.

She was the one who spoke just now.

——-she was rubbing her eyes, seemingly just woken up.

“Wench, ruining my business...”

The man said as his killing intent boiled, but someone lightly patted his shoulder.

The bartender stood behind the bar and pulled back his hand.

While cleaning the counter, the bartender casually said: “Sir, please do not fight in our bar, otherwise, no one would be able to save you”

The man stood stunned, then unwillingly replied after a long while: “Of course, I know that”

The Demoness next to him had already taken considerable distance from him, taking five gold coins from her chest and placing them onto the bar.

“Give me another drink” she said.

“Yes, what would you like to have?” the bartender asked.

“[Baptism]”

“Ah, that drink can certainly dispel your affliction, but you don’t have enough”

“I... don’t have any more money, can I put it on a tab?” the Demoness begged.

“I’m sorry, that’s not possible” the bartender regretfully replied.

The Demoness began to tremble.

—-the wraith talisman seal had already started to affect her.

In the corner, an orange cat looked at another orange cat.

The second orange cat shook his head, staring straight at the drunken girl with a nostalgic expression.

It’s been too long, ever since our last parting, I haven’t seen her at all.

And I should be thanking her as well.

If not for her, I wouldn’t have been able to come into contact with the 900 million World Layers so quickly, getting to know people like Barry and Kitty.

I would not have improved as quickly as I did.

The girl then mumbled something under her breath and pulled out a Card from the void of space.

“Demoness over there, listen, I have a lot of dispelling Cards, give me that money, I’ll undo it for you”

Saying so, she slowly sat straight up.

She showed her Card to the Demoness.

“This Card deck... so it was you!”

The Demoness was ecstatic, hurriedly took her money to the girl and prostrated herself: “Please your grace, I beg you to save me”

The girl tossed her Card to the other party and took her coins.

“Don’t worry, the one thing I can’t stand the most is to watch women being bullied and deceived by men”

Xiao Die stroked the Demoness’ head and lightly told her.
