Chapter Index

    Daoist Wang could easily tell that the man named ‘Brother Hua’ was quite angry at the moment.

    Brother Hua kicked the female physician Wei Na’s shoulder hard again. She had been wailing while clutching her abdomen, and now there was a shoe print on her shoulder.

    Brother Hua’s mouth continuously spewed out curses.

    This greatly enriched Wang Jixuan’s still relatively new vocabulary.

    “Brother Hua… I was wrong, Brother Hua…”

    Wei Na stammered, “I really didn’t mean not to go… That day I… Ah! Cough cough! Stop hitting me…”

    Brother Hua paced back and forth, his fierce face tinged with a hint of ruthlessness, glaring down at the woman.

    “You think hiding in the Middle City makes You safe, huh? Which Security Squad doesn’t have friends from our Black Fire Gang?”

    Brother Hua cursed, “I have a hundred ways to kill You!

    You stinking bitch! The surgery was ready, and You stood me up? Do You really think I wouldn’t dare touch You? Your ex-boyfriend, the captain, already has a new lover, damn it!

    Speak! Are You going to do this surgery or not!”

    Wang Jixuan listened quietly. He had initially thought this was a tale of love and hate, but he quickly realized it wasn’t that kind of matter.

    Wei Na said tremblingly, “Brother Hua… I really can’t… I don’t know surgery…”

    “Go to hell!”

    Brother Hua’s toe aimed at Wei Na’s abdomen and kicked forward with force.

    “You don’t know surgery? Am I illiterate? Is all the information You wrote fake? Are You doing it or not!”

    “Brother Hua, I really… I don’t want to…”

    “Are You doing it or not!”

    “That’s a crime… I don’t want to…”

    “If You don’t do it, I’ll kill You right here today!”

    The man continued to kick, and Wei Na’s screams echoed within the eight or nine square meter infirmary.

    The two burly men in front of Wang Jixuan stood silently like two large doors, staring at Wang Jixuan with unfriendly expressions.

    The two burly men felt increasingly uneasy.

    This frail young man was simply too calm; his gaze remained clear, simply watching the situation behind them quietly.

    The burly man on the left twitched the fat on his face and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: “Oh hey! Kid, aren’t You scared?”

    Wang Jixuan frowned slightly and said with a smile, “You, why must You be so pushy? How about letting me try to persuade her?”

    Brother Hua turned his head and looked over, his pair of narrow eyes fixed on Wang Jixuan, and he angrily said, “Who the hell is this!”

    “Brother Hua, her boyfriend, You said so.”

    “You told us to bring him in.”

    “He’s not… He’s not my boy… He has nothing to do with this, Brother Hua…”

    Wei Na’s face was full of pain.

    Curled up on the ground, she was incredibly disheveled. At this moment, she looked up at Wang Jixuan, shaking her head vigorously, seemingly telling him not to interfere.

    “Three Fellow Daoists… friends from above.”

    Wang Jixuan revealed a slight smile:

    “If You keep hitting her like this, she’ll only suffer severe internal bleeding. Are You trying to make her do something?

    If You kill her, won’t your goal also be impossible to achieve?”

    Brother Hua tilted his head, looking at Wang Jixuan.

    “Kid, trying to be a hero, huh? Come here, You.

    He pulled out the handgun from his embrace and gestured for Wang Jixuan with it.

    Wang Jixuan had seen such things in Mu Liang’s memory, a kind of… extremely powerful mechanism hidden weapon.

    Brother Hua sneered, “Go persuade her.”

    Wang Jixuan calmly walked around the two burly men in front of him, knelt down in front of Wei Na, and pressed a finger on Wei Na’s neck.

    Wei Na began to speak in a very low voice:

    “Hurry and leave… Go find the Security Squad… They really will kill people… Brother Hua! He has nothing to do with this, he’s my ex-boyfriend’s younger brother…”

    “What do they want You to do?” Wang Jixuan asked.

    Wei Na kept shaking her head, a little blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

    “Can’t You agree to them?” Wang Jixuan said softly, “They have a lot of malevolent Qi about them; they should be desperate criminals. I don’t think they’ll let You go easily.”

    Desperate criminals? Malevolent Qi?

    Brother Hua narrowed his eyes slightly and, without warning, kicked Wang Jixuan in the back.

    Wang Jixuan pressed his left hand to the ground, barely avoiding a fall, his expression a little impatient.

    Wei Na cried out in despair, “You should leave quickly! It’s not your business! They want me to perform surgery to remove other people’s organs; they’re from the Lower City!”

    “Still want to leave?”

    Brother Hua bent down, pressing the muzzle of the gun against the back of Wang Jixuan’s head.

    “Doctor Wei seems pretty worried about this kid, huh?

    Well, this is fun. I have a buddy who really likes these skinny, weak men.

    How about sending your boyfriend over for him to play with for a few days, Miss Wei, the high-achiever.”

    Wang Jixuan: “Fellow Daoist, are You slandering this humble Daoist by implying he has homosexual tendencies?”

    “What is he saying?” Brother Hua didn’t quite hear clearly.

    A faint light bloomed in Wang Jixuan’s eyes, and he calmly and quickly chanted:

    “Especially when the Vajra Indestructible and Undamageable Myriad Dharma Tribulation Wheel emerges to subdue demons.”

    Buzz!

    A faint golden light flashed across Wang Jixuan’s body!

    “You, he!”

    Brother Hua only felt a blur before his eyes, his hand empty, and two afterimages appeared in his vision!

    He was suddenly struck hard in the chest, the scenery in his vision rapidly receding! A heavy blow to his back struck him, and the sound of various medical ampoules shattering was incessant!

    Brother Hua felt incredibly suffocated, unable to breathe, his body weakly sliding down. He opened his mouth to speak, but large gouts of blood spurted out, and his eyes quickly became bloodshot.

    The infirmary was quiet.

    Not only were the two burly men stunned in place, but Wei Na was also stunned.

    What had she just seen?

    This frail Mu Liang in front of her had directly punched Brother Hua flying?

    Wang Jixuan’s left arm, which had just thrown the punch, was dislocated, now hanging at an odd angle by his side. His wrist was also somewhat bruised. In his right hand, he held the handgun, playing with it curiously.

    He didn’t look at Brother Hua much, only staring at the two burly men.

    Before Brother Hua fainted, he used his last bit of strength to shout, “Get him…”

    The two burly men immediately rushed forward.

    Wang Jixuan calmly raised the handgun. Although the safety wasn’t off, the two burly men wisely raised their hands.

    ‘They’re just Mortal Gangs.’

    Wang Jixuan didn’t pull the trigger; he just gently pushed it forward, and one of the two burly men’s pant legs immediately became wet.

    “Get out! All of You, get out!”

    Wei Na shouted forcefully, as if venting her anger.

    The two burly men turned and ran, their movements shaky as they opened the door. After exiting, they didn’t forget to close the large door, then sprinted away, holding up their sweatpants.

    Wang Jixuan shook his head and placed the handgun on a nearby table.

    Wei Na had already sat up, leaning against the medicine cabinet.

    Her arms trembling, she coughed continuously, then fumbled in the back pocket of her hot pants for a crooked, self-made cigarette. She lit it with a button-sized lighter, put it in her mouth, inhaled, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

    Wang Jixuan pointed at Brother Hua: “Aren’t You calling the Security Squad?”

    “They’re from the Black Fire Gang in the Lower City,” Wei Na swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva. “The Middle City Security Squad has many people they’ve bribed, and the Middle City Security Squad generally doesn’t go to the Lower City; that area is a no-man’s-land… I’m sorry, I dragged You into this.”

    “What did they want You to do?”

    “Just organ harvesting,” Wei Na took a drag from her cigarette. “Taking out the healthy internal organs of some homeless people they’ve caught, putting them in life support boxes, and then taking them to those who can afford the price.”

    Wang Jixuan tried to understand, wondering, “Aren’t the three types of quotas not supposed to be circulated?”

    Wei Na looked at him as if he were an idiot, and retorted, “Are You really ignorant or just playing innocent? Quotas are only useful in the Upper City and Middle City; the Lower City uses precious metals and some hard currency.”

    “I haven’t been there,” Wang Jixuan said, slightly embarrassed. “Can You help me get the certificate now?”

    “You’re still thinking about your mental health certificate even now?”

    Wei Na was torn between laughter and tears.

    Holding the cigarette in her mouth, enduring the pain throughout her body, she stood up by leaning on the medicine cabinet. She looked at Wang Jixuan’s dangling left arm, then watched as Wang Jixuan grabbed his left shoulder with his right hand, pushed, and twisted, and the dislocated joint immediately snapped back into place.

    The creaking sound made Wei Na shiver.

    “How… how did You do that?” she asked belatedly.

    Wang Jixuan said seriously, “I’ve studied free combat for a few years.”

    “I saw a light in your eyes earlier… This… Well… I mean, thank You for saving me.”

    Wei Na leaned against the wall and walked to the corner. She skillfully pressed a few buttons on a screen supported by a square metal frame, and Mu Liang’s detailed information appeared.

    She simply checked a few boxes and selected’send,’ and the border around Mu Liang’s avatar changed from pink to green.

    “Okay, You don’t have to undergo the brain tissue removal surgery anymore.”

    Wei Na coughed a few times, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and looked at the handgun beside Wang Jixuan, lost in thought.

    She sniffed and said quickly:

    “I’ll handle things here, but I can’t guarantee that those two Black Fire Gang members who ran away won’t come after You later. I’ll have my friend contact You later to help You find a new place to live.

    If any investigators ask You, just say they kept hitting me, and the gun fell into my hand. Don’t say anything else.”

    “Can I leave now?”

    “Yes, go. Can You leave the gun? You don’t seem to be able to hide it. I’ll have my friend come and deal with it.”

    “Okay,” Wang Jixuan simply agreed, took two steps back, turned, and was about to pull open the alloy door.

    “Hey! Mu Liang!”

    Wei Na suddenly called out.

    Wang Jixuan turned around and raised his hand to catch the first-aid kit and anti-inflammatory medicine Wei Na threw over.

    Wei Na inhaled deeply and puffed out her chest. Although this movement aggravated her bruises and caused her great discomfort, she still fully displayed her fiery figure, accentuated by her bandeau top and hot pants.

    “Are You really not going to try? Big sister knows many tricks and can give You a wonderful initiation. The atmosphere here is simply fantastic!”

    Wang Jixuan shook his head helplessly, slipped out, and closed the door. Following the direction from his memory, he walked back to his room.

    Each standard accommodation room was only about nine square meters, with a hidden private bathroom. The bathing area was a communal facility.

    Wang Jixuan locked the door, cold sweat continuously beading on his forehead.

    His Primordial Spirit… it couldn’t even be called a Primordial Spirit now;’soul’ was more accurate.

    The Vajra Strength Incantation had caused too much depletion of his soul power; he needed rest now.

    Wang Jixuan struggled to walk back to the bed, barely managing to assume the Five Hearts Towards Heaven posture;

    He painstakingly tried to circulate the simplest Heavenly Cycle within this body, whose Meridians were all blocked.

    The Spiritual Qi in the air quickly gathered towards him.

    Wang Jixuan felt a sense of urgency;

    This place was not peaceful. The powerful Yao Beasts raging across the land were already a huge threat, and there were so many dangers hidden within the 76th Fortress itself.

    He had survived even a Heavenly Tribulation; he couldn’t possibly be chopped to death by Mortal Gangs, could he?

    Absolutely not.

    These guys also had those hidden weapons called ‘firearms’ in their hands. Judging from the movies of the Golden Age in Mu Liang’s memory, hitting a vital point with such a thing could kill a Mortal.

    Black Fire Gang, organ harvesting…

    This was like a demonic cult itself.

    Wang Jixuan’s room quickly quieted down. A faint glow penetrated the soundproof metal everywhere, gathering with his breathing and circulating, washing over his body.

    In the district infirmary.

    Wei Na threw the butt of her second cigarette onto the ground, picked up the cup of hot water, took two sips, and forcefully pressed the alarm button under the consultation desk.

    Piercing alarms rang out everywhere, and dark red warning lights appeared in the corridor.

    Wei Na picked up the handgun from the side, disengaged the safety, and took two steps to stand before Brother Hua, who was kneeling, head bowed and unconscious.

    She held the handgun with both hands, trembling all over, trying her best to press it close to Brother Hua’s chest, holding her breath, her lips constantly trembling.

    “My mom, even when drunk, wouldn’t hit me this hard!”

    Bang!

    Bang bang bang bang!

    Flashes of light continuously appeared through the door crack.

    The gun was well-maintained. The female physician, whose face was splattered with hot blood, successfully emptied her clip.

    Although I don’t want to say this, many Reader Lords will…

    Wei Na is just an ordinary supporting character, not the female lead.
