The four people slowly retreated, increasing the distance between each other.
"There are words carved on my arm, in my handwriting, reminding myself for so reason not to trust anyone. So, you are my enemies, right?"
Da Jianbi raised his arm and said coldly.
"Heh, it’s the sa for . The carving on my arm says the first person I see upon turning around is the guy I need to take out. That’s you, right? After turning around, you were the only one standing right in front of !"
Yu Huan Shui looked at Li Xiaobai, a murderous intent erging.
"What a joke, I’m going to kill everyone. You three are all my enemies."
Li Xiaobai raised his arm, revealing the writing on it.
"Which one of you is my subordinate?"
"Even though I can’t rember anything, I can still recognize the words I wrote. It says to protect my subordinates and kill all opponents. Do you know who my subordinate is?"
Jiang Que wiped the blood off his arm with his sleeve, looking at the three people in front of him.
"What does that have to do with ? You want to kill , right? If you make a move, I won’t lose to any of you!"
Li Xiaobai cursed and waved his arm, trying to intimidate the other three.
Yu Huan Shui focused all his attention on Li Xiaobai, firmly believing that the person in front of him was the enemy.
Jiang Que, on the other hand, was looking for the figures of others nearby.
The murderous intent in the air grew stronger, a layer of frost seemingly covering the ground, a chill brought about by the materialization of killing intent.
"I don’t have ti to waste arguing with you bunch of lunatics."
Da Jianbi suddenly turned and ran away, disappearing in a flash.
He didn’t trust anyone, but he didn’t have the guts to be enemies with everyone.
He planned to find a place to hide and make plans once he could rember sothing.
"Sa here, people like you, barely at the level of street thugs, can’t possibly be my subordinates."
"It’s better to study hard and achieve so rit than to waste your lives. I’m going to find my subordinates."
Jiang Que glanced at Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui, shook his head with a sigh. He really didn’t know what was wrong with people lately, choosing to live a life of thuggery instead of learning sothing aningful.
On the ruins.
Only Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui were left.
"What are you doing? It seems you want to kill . Tell , why?"
Li Xiaobai frowned, shouting out loudly, trying to intimidate Yu Huan Shui.
"Why?"
"Of course, it’s because of..."
Yu Huan Shui stopped mid-sentence: "Why, indeed, is that?"
"Heh, my magic knife is poisoned. It’s crying out, eager to taste the blood of the thousandth person!"
Li Xiaobai took out a small knife, licking the blade with his tongue, trying hard to look fierce, hoping to scare Yu Huan Shui.
"What’s it got to do with , lunatic."
"By the way, where is this place?"
Yu Huan Shui looked at Li Xiaobai like he was an idiot, muttering to himself as he left.
His attention was redirected, with the latest mory being of the poisoned knife in Li Xiaobai’s hand, replacing the previous hostile mory.
Once he disappeared from view, Li Xiaobai’s eyes beca confused again. Where was he, and what was he doing here?
How did the knife get in his hand?
...
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Beside the Snake Staff Old Madam.
Ai Cao was clutching his bloody, severed arm, gritting his teeth to report the situation.
"You an, they’ve already been hit by the trap, and in their mory-less state, they almost killed you?"
The Old Madam was surprised by Ai Cao’s ordeal.
She knew very well the power of the [Cage of Love], a power that could trap anyone.
Under the effect of the Law, to have things turn out this bad, those four people really were a handful.
"Rest assured, they have completely forgotten about the organization. They’ll never leave the city in this lifeti."
Ai Cao’s forehead veins bulged, cold sweat streaming down. The pain from his severed arm was unbearable.
"Understood. Go and tend to your wounds. I’ll find soone to keep an eye on those four."
The Old Madam absent-mindedly said while playing with a bird.
Ai Cao bowed deeply and turned to leave.
"You all heard, right? Don’t take their lives, just make sure they can’t leave the city."
"Yes!"
Several shadows stepped out from a dark corner and disappeared into the room.
...
East of the city.
Li Xiaobai was walking aimlessly down the street.
The street bustled with people, with new events occurring every second. His mory kept updating, with only the latest being rembered.
Occasionally, he would happen to look down and see the writing on his hand, but it would soon be replaced by fresh mories.
He didn’t even notice the two people closely observing him nearby.
"Brother Wang, this guy is definitely caught in the trap. He can’t even see us."
"No, Li Hua, he can see us, but this mory of seeing us is expelled from his mind. As long as we stay in his blind spot, he won’t notice us."
Wang Ming said, he and Li Hua, as a duo of the personal guard, were tasked with monitoring Li Xiaobai’s state.
"Is it necessary to go to such lengths? Just have the gate guards keep an eye on those four."
Li Hua complained, wanting to go ho to cuddle with his wife and kids instead of shadowing a grown man all day.
"What are you talking about? This is Li Xiaobai, the genius who killed four Divine Children in a row. It’s an honor to guard him, and besides, given his strength, the [Cage of Love] may not trap him completely. We need to be cautious."
Wang Ming said.
The task assigned by the higher-ups had to be completed perfectly, and moreover, this was a chance to be up close with an idol. It was just unfortunate that the idol had gone against the City Lord and got caught, making this encounter sowhat regrettable.
...
"Gululu!"
Li Xiaobai’s stomach growled loudly. He was hungry.
His nose caught a whiff of sothing delicious, and his body instinctively followed the scent to a roadside stall selling pancakes.
"Young man, want a pancake?"
"Very cheap, two gold each. They’re filled with Demonic Beast at."
The vendor said with a friendly smile.
"Yeah, give one."
Li Xiaobai looked at one of the pancakes, swallowed his saliva, and grabbed it to start eating before the vendor could wrap it.
The vendor held him: "Hey, you haven’t paid yet!"
Li Xiaobai was puzzled: "What money? What is money?"
"You ate my pancake. You need to pay , two gold each!"
The vendor’s face fell as he scrutinized Li Xiaobai. Judging by his clothes, he didn’t seem like the type to dine and dash.
"Oh, oh, that’s right. You have to pay when you eat food."
"What does two gold look like?"
Li Xiaobai suddenly realized and quickly rummaged through his pockets. But after searching for a while, he couldn’t rember what gold looked like as a currency unit.
"Gold coins, don’t tell you’re trying to dine and dash. I’ll have you know that pretending to be silly is useless. If you don’t pay, I’ll beat you up!"
The vendor said with a dark expression.
"No way, I have lots of money, gold coins."
Li Xiaobai continued searching his pockets, and as he did, he asked again: "But why do I have to pay you?"
"Because you ate my pancake."
"Right, right, you have to pay after eating. How much is it?"
"Two gold."
"What’s two gold?"
"Damn it, so you’re here to dine and dash. You must be quite the fool. Hey, folks, give him a good beating!"
