The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 482 God Appeared? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Dawu City, D District Night Market.

Under the neon lights of Xuelian Musical Instrument Training Center, Wu Chao sat at a small table at a barbecue stall, staring blankly at the pedestrians and vehicles on the street.

After a while, he suddenly picked up a beer bottle from the table and took a big gulp.

The icy beer made Wu Chao's throat tighten; the slightly bitter taste of hops hit his nasal cavity.

My eyes immediately turned red!

Wu Chao doesn't like the taste of hops. He usually only drinks a few glasses at company dinners when he can't refuse.

"Come on, have some grilled skewers. Your stomach isn't good, so don't just drink alcohol."

Wang Xiao knew Wu Chao was in a bad mood, so he didn't offer any nonsense about not drinking. Instead, he picked up a few skewers of grilled meat and handed them to him to tide him over.

After taking a big gulp of ice-cold beer, Wu Chao also felt a little uncomfortable. He took the kebabs that Wang Xiao handed him and ate them in big bites.

But as I was eating, tears started flowing uncontrollably.

"Wu Chao, you sir~"

Wang Xiao wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.

He knew that Wu Chao didn't need comforting words.

It's good to cry it out; once you release your pent-up emotions, you won't keep them bottled up inside and hurt yourself.

"woooooo"

With a sob in his voice, Wu Chao devoured the meat skewers in his hand, seemingly pouring out his heart or muttering to himself.

"Why? Why could she be so cruel?"

"She started it first, she pursued me first, four years of relationship, and she just throws it all away like that?"

"She said she'd be with me for a lifetime, the next life, and the life after that, but it's only been a few years! What a liar! A woman's words are never true!"

“They are all big liars!”

As Wu Chao cried, he picked up the beer bottle on the table and chugged it down, soaking his clothes with the pale yellow beer.

He slammed the bottle down on the table with a bang when the cold liquor made him cough.

"I just can't understand it, I just can't understand it!"

"woooooo"

Wang Xiao watched Wu Chao vent his anger, and only after Wu Chao calmed down did he speak up to comfort him:

"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore. There's no need to figure it out. Love is just an illusory flower that parasitizes material things."

"Eat and drink well, and I'll take you for a massage and foot bath later. You'll feel better when you wake up!"

In Wang Xiao's view, there's nothing that a foot bath can't fix. If there is, then just wash your feet again.

What a long-standing relationship! What a sincere heart! What a sacrifice!
When you're so engrossed in the comfort of washing your feet, you forget everything else.

"woooooo"

"I don't want to go wash my feet, I just want her back, it's so uncomfortable here!"

Wu Chao clutched his upper abdomen, his face filled with grief.

Do you know that feeling? The feeling of heartbreak that's like you're going to die?

Wang Xiao didn't reply, but picked up the bottle opener and opened another bottle of beer for Wu Chao.

"Come on! Drink it, it will make the pain go away!"

It's useless to advise someone who has been hurt in a relationship. It's better to get them drunk and throw them in a foot bath. After the foot bath, their pain will subside.

Wu Chao had no idea what the 220-pound, dark-skinned fat man in front of him was thinking.

He simply took the beer bottle from Wang Xiao and started chugging it down his throat.

"Love and sorrow—how long can one live on them?"

As he drank, Wu Chao, emboldened by the alcohol, started singing. His off-key voice attracted the attention of the surrounding diners.

However, after seeing his half-dead state, everyone could guess what had happened.

No one blamed him; they just shook their heads silently. Another heartbroken person had been added to the world.

A mournful melody drifted down from the building above, adding to the somber atmosphere.

Wu Chao cried even harder!

"Who is so wicked?"

Wang Xiao looked up with some displeasure to see who was adding fuel to the fire.

Above the neon sign for Snow Lotus Musical Instrument Training, a black figure in a trench coat was standing in front of the window.

A musical instrument that looked like a cello was lying in front of the dark figure, and it was being played intermittently.

The instrument was strange; it had four supports growing from its large body, making it look particularly incongruous.

"Hey! Stop pulling! Don't you have any sense of public decency? The neighbors have to go to work tomorrow!"

Wang Xiao stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs upstairs.

"boom!!!"

"Clang! Snap! Splash!"

Just then, a waiter serving the food suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The plate of grilled skewers in my hand scattered all over the floor.

"Someone fainted!"

"Quick, quick, help him up and see if he has low blood sugar?"

"."

The waiter's sudden fall caught the attention of the customers at the barbecue stall, and someone immediately got up and went to check on him.

"boom!"

A diner who was sitting on a stool peering out suddenly went limp and collapsed.

The small table next to it was also knocked over, and various tableware and food were scattered on the ground.

"Ah! He Qiang, He Qiang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

The woman at the same table screamed in panic, but the next second, she too collapsed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a series of banging sounds followed.

One by one, the people around him fell to the ground.

The chef who was grilling skewers by the stove plunged headfirst into the charcoal fire, and the aroma of burnt human flesh immediately filled the air.

"Holy crap!"

Wang Xiao stared wide-eyed in horror, expressing his shock and fear with a curse word.

"Huh? It's so noisy! What happened?"

Wu Chao looked around blankly: "Why are they all lying on the ground? Did they get food poisoning?"

Looking down at the kebab in his hand, Wu Chao hesitated, wondering whether he should eat it or not.

Stop looking, run!

Wang Xiao had already realized what was happening. He grabbed Wu Chao's arm and pulled him away, running off into the distance.

Although we don't know what happened, the way those people collapsed clearly indicated that it wasn't food poisoning.

Who loses consciousness in less than a second after being poisoned?

As for the kebab chef, he threw himself into the fire and there was no reaction; he was obviously dead.

Under these circumstances, Wang Xiao would never dare to stay here.

Other quick-thinking individuals made the same choice as Wang Xiao, frantically fleeing into the distance.

Those who reacted slowly, like those in front, had already fallen to the ground, lifeless.

"What happened? Why are we running?"

As Wu Chao ran alongside Wang Xiao, he asked breathlessly.

How can this fatso, with all that fat, run faster than me?

"Someone's dead! Should we run?"

Wang Xiao dragged Wu Chao along while running, and he didn't even pant while talking, which shows that his physical fitness is really good.

Some people are fat because they have too much fat, while others are simply fat because they are physically strong. Wang Xiao belongs to the latter category.

Someone's dead!!!

Wu Chao was shocked. He was just having some skewers, how did he get involved in a murder case?

Besides, even if someone died at the barbecue stall, it has nothing to do with them, so why should they run away?
Wu Chao didn't understand, but fortunately, he wasn't the type to insist on figuring things out in a crisis. If his buddy told him to run, he'd run!

A few minutes later, when Wu Chao was too exhausted to run any further, the two finally stopped.

"hu~hu~"

"It's so far away, it should be safe by now, right?"

Wu Chao was panting heavily, feeling like his lungs were about to explode.

"It should be fine now!"

Wang Xiao looked back and saw that the barbecue stall had long since disappeared from sight, and only then did he feel relieved.

The sight of those people falling to their deaths one after another had truly startled him.

Turning around and seeing Wu Chao's half-dead state, Wang Xiao couldn't help but mock, "You're not good either. You're already weak after just a few steps. Could it be kidney deficiency?"

"Who's weak?"

Wu Chao's face immediately turned red: "I...I just haven't been getting enough rest these past few days!"

Despite his verbal explanation, Wu Chao still felt uneasy, as if his health had been deteriorating ever since he started dating.

Was he completely drained?
Thinking of this, Wu Chao remembered his girlfriend, and his mood immediately plummeted again.

Just then, a melodious and sorrowful melody came from the alleyway beside them.

Wang Xiao's expression froze, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

'That's the music!'

'Just now at the barbecue stand, after this same piano music started playing, people began to die!'

Wang Xiao's eyes twitched. He grabbed Wu Chao, who was about to turn around and look, and they ran along the road again.

"Eh!?"

"Wait! Bro! I really can't run anymore!"

Wu Chao didn't know why Wang Xiao wanted to drag him along again, nor did he want to hold him back.

But after resting for just now, his legs were sore and weak that he really couldn't take another step.

"boom!!!"

A passerby suddenly collapsed in front of the two of them. Wu Chao could clearly see that the person's body had developed a large number of lividity lesions.

It quickly turned into a bluish-purple corpse.

"Holy crap! Something's fishy!"

Wu Chao's hair stood on end instantly. He finally understood what Wang Xiao meant by the dead person, and why the other party had dragged him away.

"Hurry! Run! Run!!!"

This time, without Wang Xiao urging him, Wu Chao, like a frightened little bird, started running away on his own.

But his speed was slower than walking!
"woooooo"

"Mom! Help!"

At this moment, all the heartache and sorrow after being dumped, all the despair of having your efforts betrayed, vanished.

Wu Chao wished he had two more legs so he could run faster.

"Wow ah ah!"

"I will never record again, and I will never stay up all night again!"

Wu Chao screamed and tried to run away, but his legs were too weak to support him.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao noticed his situation, bent down, and picked him up in a princess carry before running away without looking back.

"Laughing Pit, you're really something, I'm going to cry!"

"You're the best to me. If I'm a woman in my next life, I'll definitely be your wife!"

Wu Chao felt he couldn't take it anymore. What is a sense of security? This is it!

"Shut up! I don't want to stir up trouble!"

Wang Xiao's muscles were tense, every cell was straining. Although Wu Chao wasn't particularly fat, he still weighed 170 or 180 pounds.

"Look behind you, that ghostly thing hasn't caught up, has it?"

Wu Chao quickly poked his head out of Wang Xiao's arms and looked back at the spot where they had just been.

A figure wearing a trench coat was seen slowly pacing around, holding what appeared to be a cello, and playing it.

"No! It walks very slowly and can't catch up with us!"

"Laughing Pit, run faster!"

Even as they got further and further away from the figure in the trench coat, Wu Chao was still a little uneasy.

"Damn it! Don't rush me! Why don't you give it a try?"

Wang Xiao's face turned red, and his steps became slower and slower.

"Huh!? Why did it stop?"

Just as Wu Chao asked the question, he heard a familiar zither melody coming from the direction they were heading.

Wu Chao quickly looked over and saw a man in a trench coat carrying a cello playing a few meters in front of them.

Wu Chao was startled and quickly looked behind him again, as he clearly remembered that the other person was behind him.

Upon seeing this, Wu Chao became even more terrified. He saw a blurry shadow slowly advancing more than a hundred meters behind them.

The man in the trench coat over there hasn't caught up yet, so where did this man in the trench coat over here come from?

"Fuck!"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Wang Xiao turned and ran into the alley on the left.

The speed was a bit slow; carrying Wu Chao for so long had exhausted him.

"Quick! Put me down! We can't escape like this!"

Wu Chao quickly patted Wang Xiao's arm to remind him.

"Can you do it?"

"It should be faster than it is now!"

Wang Xiao thought about it and agreed. Wu Chao had rested for a while, so he should have recovered some of his strength by now.

Xuan put Wu Chao down, and the two of them ran wildly through the alley.

"Zhengzheng~"

The familiar piano music came from ahead once again, and Wu Chao and Wang Xiao looked at the familiar man in the trench coat who had appeared again.

Despair instantly gripped them!
"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have come out for drinks and barbecue!"

"It's my fault, you laughing pit!"

Wu Chao felt very guilty; if it weren't for comforting him, Wang Xiao wouldn't have been in danger.

"Damn it, I'm dead meat this time, Wu Chao. Even if you're a man in your next life, I'll still cause trouble!"

"I've really lost out this time, my Fenfen, Raorao, An'an, and Jingjing."

Wang Xiao muttered about his many wings, preparing to face his impending death.

"No, when did you get so many girlfriends? How come I didn't know?"

"Do I have to tell you about my girlfriend for one day?"

"."

The music grew clearer, and the man in the trench coat gradually revealed himself to Wu Chao and Wang Xiao.

What cello? It's clearly a human instrument made by twisting the human body and then covering it with a wooden shell.

Ghost? Monster? Demon? Or alien?

Wu Chao didn't know that; all he knew was that he was going to die.

A chilling cold, comparable to that of the Arctic, seeped into his body through the sound, and his consciousness was plunged into darkness.

Just before Wu Chao's consciousness was completely engulfed by darkness.

A light appeared!
A dazzling golden light, like a divine sword cleaving through heaven and earth, pierced through the boundless darkness.

Wu Chao felt a warm current surge through his body, and his consciousness broke free from the darkness, regaining control of his body once more.

"Did God appear to us?"

Wu Chao stared blankly at the sky above, where golden light surged in like a tide, illuminating the entire sky.
