The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 171 Taibai Sword (Added)

Chang'an, Taibai Tower, Eighteenth Floor.

Liu Sheng brought Ling Xiaoshu back, and the faint scent of Wen Weilan's perfume was still lingering in his nose.

Unexpectedly, they just met briefly, didn't say much, and didn't even know where she was.

Although I know it is Xiaoxiang Tower, which part is it?

It seems that the environment she is in is very dangerous. She can even encounter disaster-level monsters. I wonder what will happen next...

【You should worry about yourself first. 】

Liu Sheng was reminded by other Liu Shengs and suddenly raised his eyes.

At this moment, I was already standing behind that figure, only one step away.

Her fingertips were about to touch the back, and her fingernails just touched the man's clothes.

"Sister!" Ling Xiaoshu screamed.

She quickly put down her hand and took a step back.

At this moment, as she got very close and with the help of the light from outside the building, she could see that the man's clothes were very familiar, a loose royal blue brocade robe that covered his extremely thin body.

【Jiang Caibin? 】

【It's him. 】

【But why doesn't he move? 】

【Didn't you smell the blood on him? 】

Liu Sheng didn't dare to move his body. He walked to his side and took a look. He saw that his eyes were closed and he was obviously unconscious. There was a huge bloody wound on his waist and abdomen, but his whole body was standing straight.

Liu Sheng wanted to move closer, but suddenly there was a clang and he kicked something with his foot.

When he looked down, he saw a bloody dagger.

[It seems that this is the one who stabbed the unfortunate child. ]

Who did it?

[Although his words are annoying, I really want to stab him. ]

【Maybe it's us?】

Liu Sheng was shocked.

Seeing that Ling Xiaoshu was still trying to squat down and pick up the dagger, she quickly picked up Ling Xiaoshu and took a few steps back.

It is better not to get close to such suspicious places.

However, the feeling of being followed came back again...

Originally, Liu Sheng thought that those gazes were just because of what happened to Wen Weilan, and they felt the same way.

But if you think about it carefully, of course not, because when she is alone and away from the outside world, they will not appear. Only when the outside world can contact her will these gazes penetrate everywhere again.

And although there are also dense sight lines, it is different from that weird thing [Don’t Let Me See You].

The creature's gaze was bloodthirsty, eager to kill with one strike.

But this sight is different. They are just curious, forcing, and waiting at the same time, as if they are planning something.

What are they planning?
Liu Sheng thought of her posture just now and Jiang Caibin’s wound.

It seems a little familiar.

She couldn't help but think of a corpse that fell from the sky and knocked over her whole bowl of wontons.

There was a cold light in her eyes, as if she had guessed it.

Now that you already know it, you will naturally not fall into the trap.

She stepped back step by step, trying to escape to the stairs.

However, those gazes surrounded her again, and the illusions that disturbed her thinking reappeared before her eyes.

There was chaotic light everywhere, and the small tree beside him disappeared. There was only Jiang Caibin standing in front of him and surrounding him.

If she made the wrong choice or took a wrong step, she would push Jiang Caibin down the stairs.

Liu Sheng sneered: "Do you think you hid well?"

The illusion did not fluctuate, and Liu Sheng seemed to be just talking to the air.

"You can keep spying on me and interfering with my thoughts, but when you really want to push me to do something, you have to be near me, right?"

"Because the smell on you is too strong."

"And I, sorry, am very sensitive to the weirdness around me."

As it spoke, the small tentacle wrapped in the lightning whip stretched out in one direction and grabbed something fiercely in the light.

In an instant, all the light and shadow that were compressed into lines, as well as the illusion that was split into countless silhouettes, were broken like a mirror and shattered into countless colorful fragments.

The real scene on the 18th floor of Taibai Tower returns again.

The small tentacle retracted, grabbing a furry brown bear toy. Its eyeballs were made of buttons, which looked rough and a little silly, but the smooth surface of the buttons reflected a strange light in the dark, as if it was alive.

Ling Xiaoshu, who reappeared beside him, liked the little bear very much, his eyes sparkled: "Sister, can you ..."

Liu Sheng: "Let's talk about it when we get back. This thing is not clean now."

As she spoke, she stored the little bear in a weirdo container. Its body was very weak, so the containment process was very smooth.

Liu Sheng was still thinking about how to deal with Jiang Caibin's current state, when he heard chaotic footsteps and voices coming from the stairwell behind him. There was no other way, so he decided to leave.

The two people appeared here alone, one of them was seriously injured. After investigating the dispute between Jiang Caibin and Wang Dongdong, she had no way to defend herself given her relationship with Wang Dongdong.

[Sure enough, Senior Sister Lin is right. I shouldn’t go out before the imperial examination.]

She grabbed the eaves with her little tentacles, and holding Ling Xiaoshu, she used the power of the little tentacles to fly onto the tiles of the eaves.

Just as I took a breath, I heard an old and hoarse voice next to me.

"My skills are pretty good."

Liu Sheng's heart trembled, thinking that he had just used the little tentacles to get up. Didn't that person see the existence of the little tentacles?
"The one who controls ghosts?" the man asked again.

Liu Sheng didn't answer, but looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a sloppy, short and fat old man squatting on the tile roof. His gray beard was tangled together on his face. His face could not be seen clearly. Only a big, red and conspicuous trough nose could be seen.

The old man had an iron sword on his back and a jar of wine in his hand, drinking from it in big gulps. From time to time, the wine overflowed from the corners of his mouth and dripped down his beard onto his already greasy coarse cloth clothes, making them look even wetter.

"It's okay if you don't answer. It's better for the little girl to be cautious."

He took a sip of wine and took out a packet of oil paper from his clothes. When he opened it, he found a golden and fragrant roast chicken inside.

Liu Sheng smelled the fragrance and swallowed silently.

Seeing this, the old man tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng looked at the old man's hands carefully. Although he looked dirty, the gaps between his nails were clean and there was no dirt on his hands, at least on the surface. Only then did he take the chicken leg with peace of mind.

[Not cautious enough! ]

[But, it smells really good...]

The old man tore off another chicken leg and handed it to Ling Xiaoshu, who was drooling.

"Grandpa, can you see me?" Ling Xiaoshu picked up the chicken leg without hesitation, took a bite, and spoke vaguely while chewing.

"You are so conspicuous, how can I not see you?" said the old man cheerfully.

Then he picked up the remaining roast chicken and started to take big bites of it.

Eat a few bites and drink a sip of wine, how pleasant it is.

Liu Sheng was not in such a good mood. He squatted on the eaves, looking at the more complete night view of Chang'an, listening to the exclamations and discussions of people below who discovered Jiang Caibin, and took a bite of the chicken leg with a bad feeling in his heart.

As a result, after taking a bite, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The chicken skin was brushed with syrup and cooked crispy, and the chicken inside was tender, juicy and still hot. It was obvious that the old man had carefully hidden it close to his body to maintain such a temperature.

[I feel a bit disappointed when I think about this...]

"Isn't it delicious? This is Yanshiju's roast chicken, the best dish to go with wine!" The old man looked at Liu Sheng's expression and said proudly, "Would you like to drink?"

Liu Sheng refused decisively.

"What a pity, you don't know how to enjoy yourself."

The sound under the eaves gradually became quieter and farther away, and Liu Sheng finally put his heart at ease.

"That kid is fine, you should worry about yourself." The old man always knew what Liu Sheng was thinking at a glance.

"Grandpa, do you know who is harming my sister?" Ling Xiaoshu asked.

“I don’t know.” The old man leaned back and shook his head nonchalantly, “When I got here, the boy was like this.”

"Grandpa, you just got here?"

"Yeah, Grandpa has work to do."

"What kind of work?" Ling Xiaoshu continued to ask innocently.

The old man did not answer, but looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost time."

He patted his round belly, put the roast chicken back into the oil paper, calculated with his greasy fingers, and nodded: "Well, the location is almost there."

Liu Sheng looked at him curiously, wondering what else this sloppy old man had to do besides eating and drinking.

With a clang, the old man drew out the long sword from behind.

The long sword was of average quality, and looked like one of the crude iron swords found in a blacksmith's shop, three of which could be bought for one spiritual essence. It was usually used by beginners in the academy.

The old man casually threw the ordinary iron sword in one direction.

Liu Sheng was just about to say that this was littering, but the iron sword suddenly disappeared from his sight and was nowhere to be found.

Then the old man clapped his hands: "Call it a day."

"Goodbye, two little girls." He gave Liu Sheng and Ling Xiaoshu a big smile under his messy beard.

Then he jumped off the roof.

With a few leaps, he disappeared into the bustling night market of Chang'an.

Liu Sheng blinked, not knowing what was happening.

"Sister, meteor!" Ling Xiaoshu exclaimed.

Liu Sheng raised his head upon hearing this.

An extremely dazzling meteor, with a long tail flame, streaked across the sky.
