As I thought about the gang leader Ma Yiwen whom I had offended this afternoon, I felt a twinge of concern. While I wasn't afraid of the so-called Horse Head Gang, I couldn't guarantee that Ma Yiwen wouldn't send his men after the White Alliance. After pondering for a moment, I finally nodded and said, "Hou Libang, go inform the others. I might need everyone's help this time. I'll head out first; just follow me."
With that, I quickly ran out of the hotel room while Hou Libang changed into a fresh outfit before heading off to find the others.
Just as I stepped out of the hotel entrance, a group of thugs nearby who were eating barbecue immediately stood up. They pulled out their phones and dialed a number, then spoke into the device, "Boss Ma, the outsiders you told us to keep an eye on are making moves. One of them just left the hotel; what should we do?"
"Send two brothers to follow that person. The rest of you stay at the front of the hotel and make sure those outsiders don't escape. Let's not rush into action; wait until all our brothers are gathered before we strike together. We don't want to scare them off too soon," came Ma Yiwen's cold voice from the other end of the line. The thugs acknowledged him and hung up. Two of them split off to tail me while the others resumed their seats, continuing to eat barbecue while keeping an eye on the hotel.
Meanwhile, five miles away from the hotel, there was a large area filled with metal shanties—the worst accommodation in town but also the cheapest. This was where those without enough money to stay at hotels gathered, including members of the White Alliance and his grandfather.
White Alliance pushed open the door to one of the dilapidated metal shacks and naturally lit a candle inside. He cheerfully sat on the edge of the only wooden bed in the room and handed over a metal bottle with a smile, saying, "Grandpa, this is some medicine I got today. You should take a sip. Next week, I'll be able to bring back another bottle."
In the dim candlelight, one could vaguely see an elderly man lying on the bed with white hair. He was frail and emaciated, his body little more than skin and bones. The old man wore tattered clothes that looked even worse than those of White Alliance.
This elderly man was Bai Haizhen, who had taken in White Alliance as a homeless child. He had fallen ill over a month ago, and during this time, it was White Alliance who had been taking care of him.
Bai Haizhen struggled to open his eyes and coughed weakly several times before pushing away the metal bottle offered by White Alliance. He said hoarsely, "Cough cough, Alliance, it's me who has burdened you! You really don't need to worry about me; you're still young and should go out and explore on your own instead of staying by my side. I know my situation; I'm just an old man nearing death—there's no need for you to waste your time with me. Cough cough, you must listen to your grandpa and leave here quickly."
White Alliance helped Bai Haizhen sit up from the bed. He removed the cap from the metal bottle and smiled as he said, "Grandpa, you gave me this life. Now that you're old, it's my turn to take care of you. You can scold or hit me if you want, but please drink this medicine first."
Seeing the bruises on White Alliance's body, Bai Haizhen's eyes flashed with complex emotions. He sighed deeply and reached out to stroke White Alliance's head with a kind expression as he said gently, "Alliance, you've had a tough time these days. Once I'm better, I'll take you to see the big city; you'll have to rely on yourself from now on."
With that, Bai Haizhen took hold of White Alliance's metal bottle and tilted it back, swallowing down all of the Corpse Oil Solution in one go. After a moment, his eyes sparkled with green light as he seemed to regain some vitality.
After seeing Bai Haizhen's actions, White Alliance's face broke into a joyful smile. He carefully laid Bai Haizhen back down on the bed and said, "Grandpa, wait here. I'm going out to buy some groceries. I'll be right back."
With that, White Alliance happily left the room. Not long after he had gone, Bai Haizhen, lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. He reached down to feel under the bed for a moment and quickly grabbed a large live rat.
"Squeak squeak~~" The rat squealed in panic, twisting its body in an attempt to escape from Bai Haizhen's grip. Unfortunately, it was too weak to break free from his hold.
At that moment, the green light in Bai Haizhen's eyes intensified. He licked his lips and said in a chilling tone, "Hehe, it's been a long time since I've had raw meat. I'll use you to satisfy my cravings today."
With that, Bai Haizhen bit down on the rat, tearing it in half with one swift motion. A pile of crimson flesh splattered onto him, but he paid it no mind.
"Crunch crunch~~" The sound of his gruesome chewing filled the air as he squinted his eyes in pleasure. After swallowing the blood and flesh in his mouth, he wiped the blood from his lips and continued to feast on the remaining rat.
About ten minutes later, I rode a shared bicycle to where Bai Haizhen was staying. At this point, White Alliance had not yet returned with the groceries. Bai Haizhen had already devoured seven rats; after satisfying his hunger, he lay back down on the bed and fell asleep again.
"What is this heavy Evil Qi doing here? What is going on?" I furrowed my brow in confusion as I stood at the door of the room. Although I hadn't pushed open the door yet, I could sense something was off. I drew my Sabre and kicked open the dilapidated door before swiftly darting inside.
Hearing the noise at the entrance, Bai Haizhen quickly opened his eyes and glared at me with fury. Coldly, he said, "Who are you? What are you doing in our home? While I'm being nice, get out of here!"
I scanned the room before finally focusing on Bai Haizhen. The thick Evil Qi permeating the room was emanating from him.
I shook my head and walked over to him, then said expressionlessly, "Old man, since you're already dead, there's no need to cling to the Yang Realm. Let me take you to the Underworld for reincarnation."
