Chapter 137: Burning Paper
Xiaoman imdiately imagined Kang De’s motive.
When she was young, she had thought of this and discussed it with Kang De. Since Reincarnators could return to the real world, why not borrow sothing from the Arican Empire? It was much easier to borrow a nuclear bomb from the Arican Empire than exchange it with the Main God, right?
Of course, at that ti, Xiaoman did not expect that the childhood sweetheart who had excitedly discussed the plot with her would actually use this imagination one day…
However, as ti passed, everyone had grown up. Their horizons and posture were no longer as simple and childish as when they were young. Or rather, the developnt of the Internet allowed people to understand the world more clearly.
For example, how terrifying the military strength of the neighbor on the other side of the Pacific was. For example, how terrifying modern weapons had developed.
Even if he could sneak in without anyone noticing and not be discovered, if the United States lost a nuclear bomb, it would be a huge matter that would turn the world upside down. It might involve countless turmoil and chaos!
Then, she heard Kang De say, “The Arican army stationed in Japan actually has a nuclear bomb?”
His tone was very surprised and there was actually a trace of joy that could not be concealed.
—Hey!
Xiaoman grabbed Kang De’s arm. “Don’t do anything rash! Speaking of which, what are you planning to do if you don’t steal the nuclear bomb? Flatten the Arican base in Japan? Hey, don’t be so angry. You’ve already grown up!”
—D*mn, if I had the ability to raze an entire Arican base in Japan to the ground, I wouldn’t have to consider how to fight the elves. I could just go over.
Kang De did not know whether to laugh or cry. “What are you thinking? I won’t do those dangerous things anymore. Believe , if I’m exposed, my parents and you will be in danger. How can I take the risk?”
This reason imdiately convinced Old Wang and even made her blush and snort.
“Then why do you want to buy a house in Japan? You also want it near the military base…”
Kang De replied, “This is a long story. It’s like this. I can…”
“…Wait.”
Xiaoman imdiately stopped him from “exposing the Main God Space”.
She looked at Kang De and asked, “Is it… useful for what you’re doing over there?”
Kang De nodded.
The girl asked again, “There won’t be any danger?”
Kang De nodded again.
“You’re not lying to ?”
Kang De nodded again.
Xiaoman sighed. “Alright… I’ll help you ask Rin.”
She took out her phone from the pocket of her one-piece pajamas, opened WeChat, and sent a ssage.
At this mont, Kang De’s phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was actually Interdiary Xu. It was almost ten o’clock at night.
His heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Xiaoman as if nothing had happened and walked to the side to answer the call. “Hello?”
“Mr. Kang?”
Mr. Xu’s voice sounded, his tone uneasy.
Kang De said, “Good evening. What’s the matter?”
Mr. Xu said in a low voice, “Mr. Kang, you ntioned to a few days ago that if anyone asks about that house, I can report your information…”
Kang De glanced at Xiaoman and said concisely, “There’s such a thing.”
“Initially, we all had our responsibilities and wouldn’t leak the information of our clients. You only ntioned it to at that ti and I didn’t take it to heart. However, soone really called today and asked how that house was. When I said that it had been sold, he asked who bought it and if anything had happened…”
Kang De lowered his voice. “You told him?”
Mr. Xu whispered, “I was originally unwilling to say because this is the company’s rule. Moreover, you’re my client and helped resolve this issue. How can I casually leak your information? If the other party is a nobody and causes trouble for you, I still have to file a complaint…”
Kang De smiled. “And?”
Mr. Xu’s voice beca deeper and deeper, revealing a trace of worry and fear, “Then, I was found by a few… hooligans. They asked the sa question. Our boss interfered and didn’t let suffer, but he couldn’t handle the pressure either.”
“In the end, he personally checked the information and told them…”
Kang De clicked his tongue. “So, the person who asked you has a powerful background?”
Mr. Xu sighed. “Mr. Kang, it’s definitely our fault. Our boss plans to personally visit and apologize. You know that in this society, there are so things that can’t be done according to the rules. We’re also very helpless. After thinking about it, I still have to call you…”
Kang De shrugged. “It’s fine. I told you back then that it didn’t matter if I told them, but I also said not to tell anyone that my friend paid for . Did you do it?”
Mr. Xu replied without hesitation, “Of course.”
“However…” His voice softened again, “You should prepare early and tell CEO Wang. There’s a lot of power there. With CEO Wang’s relationship, they’ll be worried… Although I don’t know why that person wants to ask about you, it’s still related to that house. We commoners can’t defeat those people sotis. You should prepare early…”
“Thank you for the reminder. One last question. Who is that person?”
Mr. Xu hesitated and said, “This…”
Kang De said indifferently, “Let guess… Xie Guangjun?”
Mr. Xu was clearly shocked. “Mr. Kang, you…”
“The previous owner of that haunted house is him, right? Or is it related to him?”
Kang De’s voice turned cold.
He rembered that after the female ghost in the house was purified by him, the words “Xie Guangjun” were written in the air.
If that girl died at the hands of Xie Guangjun and turned into a ghost because of her obsession and hatred, causing a series of incidents, when this matter reached Xie Guangjun’s ears, it would definitely cause him to be surprised and uneasy.
After all, he was guilty.
Therefore, he would pay close attention to this “ghost house”. For example, did the owner lie, did the new owner encounter the sa thing after moving in, and was there really a ghost?
Therefore, he would ask Mr. Xu who the new owner was.
He did not even hesitate to use so of his thods and strength to obtain the information he wanted.
There was a cold smile on Kang De’s lips as he asked, “What’s this person’s background? Is he part of a gang?”
There was even a trace of fear in Mr. Xu’s voice as if Xie Guangjun had the ability to eavesdrop on his call. He stamred, “He’s indeed a little… how should I put it… it’s just…”
Kang De was quite impatient. He had fought a few tis in the other world. Every ti, he was decisive and straightforward. The experience affected his personality, so he naturally could not be bothered to listen to Interdiary Xu’s hesitation and timidity.
Seeing that Old Wang was already looking over, he lowered his voice and said, “Alright, forget it if you don’t want to say it. Just pretend you didn’t call. In addition, I hope you continue to keep it a secret and don’t reveal Xiaoman’s matter. That’s it. Goodbye.”
Therefore, he hung up.
It did not matter if Mr. Xu was unwilling to say.
If Xie Guangjun had sothing on his mind, he would send himself to his door.
Old Wang asked, “Who is it?”
Kang De shook his phone and said half-truthfully, “That Interdiary Xu said that a big client who was obsessed with the ghost culture was very interested in that house and was willing to buy it at a high price, but I rejected him.”
The girl blinked. “Why not?”
Kang De smiled and said, “Wait for a while more and its value will increase—how is it? Have you returned?”
Xiaoman did not take it to heart and shook her head. “No, it’s ten o’clock now. It’s already eleven in Japan. I’m afraid she’s already asleep. A tour guide has to sleep early…”
Kang De nodded and said, “It’s fine. Ask tomorrow.”
In any case, there was no hurry. Even if he could buy it, he did not have money. Even if he continued to live off Old Wang, he could not imdiately settle the matter—it was unknown if he could find the seller.
Xiaoman replied and looked at Kang De. “When are you leaving?”
Her tone was a little reluctant.
Kang De looked at the ti. It was past midnight. When a new day arrived, he would recover his transmigration ability. In other words, he still had two hours to spend on Earth.
He looked at the girl’s expectant and reluctant gaze and made up his mind. Every hour on Earth was seven hours in the other world. He could not waste ti like this.
“I’ll leave at twelve,” he said. “In two hours.”
The girl was first disappointed, then happy. “There are still two hours…”
She looked at Kang De. “Do you want to eat supper? Or go to a movie? Or…”
Seeing Kang De’s expression, she understood. “Is there anything else?”
Kang De nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll check so information and bring sothing…”
Apart from downloading so learning materials for his son, he had to consider a balance between work and rest. The Autobot liked the Transforrs movies very much. In that case, he would find more war movies and animations for it. He could also find cartoons and comics. How should he put it? He had to put a bag of peanuts in front of Anya.
Xiaoman asked, “Then can I do it here?”
Kang De said, “I can… but it’s very boring.”
“It’s fine, it’s not boring.”
So Kang De turned on his computer and took out his mobile hard drive. He searched for resources and downloaded them. The fiber optics were powerful and fast. He rattled on the keyboard, searched for information, and downloaded materials. In the Internet era, knowledge was public and sharing was encouraged. Many things could be found.
Xiaoman was lying on Kang De’s bed, pulling the blanket and covering herself. Only her head was exposed, like a hamster. She stared at Kang De’s back and thought of sothing.
The two of them did not communicate much. From ti to ti, Kang De would look back and see the girl looking at him and smiling. Such a scene made him feel very at ease.
Until midnight.
Kang De stretched and turned around. At so point, the girl had already fallen asleep.
“This girl…”
Kang De pulled the plug and stuffed the portable hard drive into his pocket. When he ca to the bed, he hesitated for a mont before reaching out and flattening the girl’s body. He cushioned the pillow and covered her with the blanket.
Then, he pinched her face.
“It feels good…”
He took out his phone and typed a WeChat ssage: “Don’t stay in bed after you wake up. Don’t sleep on my bed the next day, or sothing might happen when I return.”
“I was going to let you see it, but you fell asleep. I sent it to you. Surprise.”
He sent the video of the Humr transforming.
Then, he turned off the lights.
“Goodbye…”
Kang De sighed softly and closed the bedroom door.
After a long ti, the girl slowly opened her eyes in the darkness.
She reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes and picked up her phone. She saw the ssage and the video.
She had the Kang De family’s WiFi which was very fast. In the scene, Kang De’s voice sounded, “You can start to transform now.”
Then, the Humr rumbled and began to change shape. It was even more real and shocking than in the movie. The extre beauty of the chanical change was causing the Autobot to change shape.
“…No wonder he targeted the Arican military base.”
The girl whispered, “Is it a Transforr this ti…”
She could not help but think of the story of Kang De’s experience.
This was a gradually deep-rooted misunderstanding. Kang De did not return to the Main God Space.
What Xiaoman did not expect was that Kang De only went to the other world very ordinary.
However, Kang De did not think of anything.
This ti, he did not return to the valley where the Autobot was. Instead, he went to another place… Unknowingly, sothing interfered with the coordinates and called him over.
With a crack, it was the sound of wood shattering. Kang De felt himself fall and his butt shattered a certain wood product. His feet landed and he imdiately stabilized himself, looking around in confusion.
He saw the person in front of him.
Then, he was recognized.
Clearly, the person in front of him was the sa.
The two of them looked at each other. Kang De was the first to react. He raised his gun and pulled out his short knife. His battle aura accumulated and his ntal strength spread out. He shouted, “Hong San!”
The person in front of him was the Cathayan he had encountered in Glory Sand Town, a guy born to be a slave.
When he was taking revenge, he did not see Hong San, nor did he have any obsession with this. At that ti, his mind was filled with revenge. If he saw Hong San, he would most likely kill him together. If he did not see him, then it was fine. The Brilliant Sand Castle had been razed to the ground by the fuel truck. He thought that the Cathayan had also turned into charcoal, but he did not think much of it later.
He did not expect him to still be alive?
What was going on?
With the knife and gun in his hand, Kang De felt slightly relieved. He looked at Hong San, who was also looking at him. However, the Cathayan looked quite miserable. The other party was sitting on the ground and looking at him in shock. He was holding a stack of circular paper and a burning brazier in front of him.
Kang De narrowed his eyes and pointed his gun at Hong San. “What the f*ck are you doing? Where is this?”
Hong San still seed to be in a huge shock. When he heard this, he shivered and stamred, “M-Master Kang, I… I…”
He revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. “I’m burning incense paper for you… Today is the 49th day after your death…”
