ET Chapter 37

Monster World (37)

Outside the door, silver hair floated in the breeze, and that person stood in the light, carrying a beautiful bone knife.

His features were not entirely clear, but his bearing was transcendent and otherworldly.

He seemed to be light itself, gentle as moonlight, stepping forward step by step, walking toward the light.

That face finally became clear—languid and sickly, with beautiful features and blood-red pupils that naturally carried a chilling murderous intent, making one’s heart tremble.

“This… this…” Wang Zherongyao shuddered, feeling like crying without tears. How did he run into this demon star again!

If he were given another chance, he would definitely never have helped that person cross the road just because he was wearing sunglasses, thinking he was a blind person.

[Watermelon Patch Sinner]: Ha! Look how happy the kid is! He’s even stuttering when he speaks.

[The Ordinary Me]: A whole room full of aberrants, so many of them.

[Wang Goudan]: Tonight’s Yebai-chan is also harvesting quite a lot!

[Expert at Solving Male Problems]: At first glance, I thought Yebai-chan was actually a type of sauce. You guys be normal, I’m scared.

“Xiao Wang, why don’t you hurry up and pay respects to your godfather!” Coach Wang called out with a seemingly smiling expression.

“God… god…” Wang Zherongyao hadn’t finished eating his chocolate, and his whole person was stunned.

He had pretended to be dead in the pile of corpses for so long, and every time he opened his eyes, he could see Lin Yebai casually cutting off the heads of those powerful intermediate aberrants.

What to do?

Wang Zherongyao fell to his knees with a thud and suddenly began crying loudly:

“Godfather—your poor son is so miserable—”

“They want to catch your son and stew me in soup…”

“Your son is only five years old this year, haven’t even graduated from kindergarten senior class, and these heartless people want to catch me and stew me in soup, wuwuwuwu…”

The little friend’s singing, reciting, acting, and fighting were all excellent, extremely mournful, with its own rhythm, exactly the same rhythm as a funeral procession.

The aberrants in the mahjong parlor panicked. The main door was surrounded, so they went for the windows. They smashed one window—aberrants were guarding outside. They smashed another window—more aberrants, with complex expressions.

The opponents had prepared early! They just didn’t know exactly how many there were!

The aberrants couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward Wang Zherongyao. Damn! This little thing was a spy!

He really was Lin Yebai’s godson!

“Surrender, or die.”

His voice was cold and indifferent.

The many wild aberrants looked at Lin Yebai getting closer and closer, exchanged glances with each other, and decided to fight their way out.

Although this silver-haired man had an extraordinary aura, he was being too arrogant.

Coming in alone, with all the other aberrants arranged outside—too prideful.

If everyone concentrated their strength and worked together, there was still a chance to escape.

The aberrants from the leather factory guarded the doors and windows to prevent the aberrants inside from escaping. Apart from Coach Wang, the others didn’t hold much hope for this battle and were prepared to provide support.

“Charge!”

The wild aberrants in the mahjong parlor felt that Lin Yebai was the best breakthrough point—after all, he was only one person—so they all rushed toward his position simultaneously.

As the saying goes, two fists can’t fight four hands, and with so many companions, far more than four hands, they could definitely subdue him! Maybe they could even catch that treacherous little brat and give him a good beating!

Lin Yebai suddenly raised his hand, and the knife light split into two, two became four, four became eight… sweeping over everyone’s heads.

“Hahaha, you missed…” The big-headed aberrant had just finished laughing when hair fragments fell from his head, and his scalp retained the hidden pain of being scraped by sharp blade energy.

He touched his head and felt a handful of hair, but his head was bald.

“Ah…”

The muscular female aberrant’s head was also bald, her long hair falling to the ground.

All the aberrants in the mahjong parlor had simultaneously become bald, their heads burning with pain. There was no bleeding, but there was the sharp pain of a blade cutting.

“Take another step forward, and die.” Lin Yebai looked over coldly, and they fell to their knees with thuds.

The fallen hair danced in the air and fell to the ground. The mahjong parlor was like a large hair salon, instantly producing dozens of bald heads.

[Literary Mentor]: Same world, same hairstyle. Fate is truly wonderful.

[Man Upon Man]: The kid won’t bring this move into the Main God Space, will he?

[One Needle From Me]: Everyone don’t be afraid, I have a secret hair growth formula.

“Tie them up and take them back to the factory.”

“Yes!” The aberrants from the leather factory that Lin Yebai had brought were dumbfounded, completely convinced, and at the same time felt a chill in their hearts. It was good that they hadn’t courted death before, otherwise their lives would definitely be in danger.

Manager Lin was much stronger than Zhang San, and even comparable to Factory Director Lin from some time ago.

“Manager Lin, are we still going to catch aberrants today?” The employees of the leather factory were extremely respectful.

“That’s all for today, we’ll continue tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

All the guide crows outside disappeared, and the golden-eyed crow would fly for a distance from time to time, guiding Lin Yebai. Today had taken quite a bit of time, and to go to the next location, it might be dark by then.

The wild aberrants from the mahjong parlor were all very obedient. They knew clearly whether their feet were faster or Lin Yebai’s knife was faster. Better to live wretchedly than die gloriously—entering the leather factory didn’t necessarily mean death, but running away now would definitely mean death.

The captives’ hands were simply tied together with a long rope, everyone lined up in a long string, walking together toward the leather factory.

Wang Zherongyao was too young, and the employees of the leather factory thought he really was Lin Yebai’s godson, so no one tied him up.

Coach Wang had originally planned to use spider silk to tie him up and carry him back for a lesson. Lin Yebai shook his head slightly, and Coach Wang abandoned this idea, letting Wang Zherongyao quietly slip away.

[Great Mememancer]: I can already imagine the miserable state of Xiao Wang when he gets caught next time.

[Braised Spare Ribs]: The expert is right here in the live broadcast room.

Actually, everyone saw Wang Zherongyao slip away, and seeing that Lin Yebai didn’t care, they didn’t expose it either.

Upon reaching the leather factory, Lin Yebai handed over the captives, and today’s work was considered a complete success.

More than thirty aberrants with clear consciousness—this number was not low. Lin Fugui praised him lavishly, praising Lin Yebai to the heavens and earth, even showing signs of surpassing Ergou, saying the factory couldn’t function without him.

Ergou was listening not far away, and seeing Lin Fugui becoming more and more ridiculous and exaggerated in his praise, he cooperatively showed expressions of envy, jealousy, and dissatisfaction.

Lin Fugui noticed this and was quite satisfied.

A dog is just a dog—no matter how smart, can it compare to a human?

With just a small divide-and-conquer strategy, he had torn apart the relationship between them. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to deal with them separately in the future?

After Lin Fugui left, Ergou lazily lay in place.

Originally, he had planned to let Lin Yebai ride on his back so they could go back together, but now that Lin Fugui was playing tricks, he had to be careful.

A person who was going to die sooner or later—let him be happy before he died.

The great Lord Ergou would just cooperate and humor him.

Lin Yebai and Ergou left one after another, not leaving the factory at the same time like before. Lin Fugui secretly observed this scene and was very satisfied.

Lin Yebai called Zhou Yuan to come with him to dig up the inheritance Zhang San had left behind. Coach Wang said he still had business to attend to and would stay a while longer.

The group separated, each with their own plans.

The newly captured aberrants had been registered and issued factory badges—they would start working in the factory tomorrow. Only Coach Wang and some of the aberrants Lin Yebai had brought out today remained at the factory gate. They immediately surrounded Coach Wang and began flattering him:

“Brother Wang, we have eyes but failed to recognize gold inlaid with jade, and almost misjudged Manager Lin. Thanks to your reminder today.”

“Don’t mention it, we’re all brothers working in the same factory. What’s the point of distinguishing between you and me?”

“Brother Wang is so understanding. Here, have a cigarette.”

“How old is Manager Lin? He looks like he’s not even twenty.”

“I’m not sure about that, around twenty, I guess.”

“What does Manager Lin like, and what are his taboos? Brother Wang, if you know, please tell us. You’re his trusted subordinate—whatever you say casually, we’ll ponder over for half a day…”

“He likes eating instant noodles. As for taboos, you can’t sing love songs in front of him, and especially can’t dance while confessing your love to him. That would be very bad.”

“Understood, understood.”

“Our Mr. Lin is not only good with the knife, but also good at planning. Did you see that little brat today?”

“Sir deliberately let him go. First, because the factory just got new employees who have grudges against Xiao Wang, keeping him would affect relationships.”

“Second, because Xiao Wang is good at finding people. Letting him go means we won’t worry about daily tasks anymore. Following him, we can find wild aberrants.”

“Third, because Sir wants to train Xiao Wang’s self-reliance skills. Successful people must be cultivated from childhood…”

Coach Wang, surrounded by a group of aberrants, got a bit carried away and couldn’t help but talk big and boast wildly. It wasn’t completely baseless—based on existing events, with reasonable divergent thinking, it was logical. The other aberrants, after listening, actually felt more and more that this was indeed the case, and their awe of Lin Yebai rose to another level.

“Brilliant! This move is indeed brilliant! Worthy of Manager Lin!”

“If we can always work under Manager Lin, what’s there to worry about regarding our future?”

“Yes, yes, Brother Wang, you’re so lucky…”

The aberrants looked at Coach Wang with envy. Following Manager Lin, he would have endless wealth and glory.

The little spiders tried hard to listen to the adults talking and analyzed it in their hearts. If they didn’t understand, they would ask their mommy when they got home tonight.

Mommy’s explanations were so reasonable. Uncle Lin was too smart—such a small action contained such profound meaning. He must be the most amazing person in the world!

****

Lin Yebai’s driving skills had improved considerably. Compared to Zhou Yuan with his tail, it was much more convenient for him to drive. He rushed toward the place where Zhang San had buried his inheritance like a dragon or snake, knocking over countless trash cans along the way.

[Big White Rabbit Milk Candy]: Trash can killer

[I Am a Little Green Dragon]: The Dragon King travels, and all evil retreats

[Today’s Legal Report]: Criminal suspect Zhang San finally paid a heavy price for his actions

[The Ordinary Me]: The way of heaven is cyclical, good and evil will eventually be rewarded

After reaching the destination, Zhou Yuan began digging, while Lin Yebai went to another place to search for Zhang San’s inheritance.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows—even his inheritance, Zhang San had placed in different locations. He was quite alert.

The sky grew increasingly overcast. After Lin Yebai found what he was looking for, he urged Zhou Yuan to hurry up. The two of them loaded the heavy blood pearls onto the car. Lin Yebai got into the driver’s seat and sped off like lightning, as if divinely assisted.

Boom—

Thunder roared across the sky, the sound extraordinarily loud, enough to burst eardrums.

Lightning struck some buildings. If the lightning rods were intact, they could survive, but if they were broken, the entire building would be split in half.

“This is a thunder tribulation. I wonder which fellow cultivator is undergoing tribulation here?” Zhou Yuan marveled.

Lin Yebai was not far from the shelter. Thunder chased the car, perhaps because the car had a metal shell.

Lin Yebai pulled Zhou Yuan out of the car, and in an instant, the car was struck and began emitting black smoke.

“Ah, my precious is still in the car!” Zhou Yuan was heartbroken, tears streaming down his face.

“Woof—”

A familiar dog bark came from not far away.
