Chapter 1152: Chapter 1151: Collecting Obsession Chapter 1152: Chapter 1151: Collecting Obsession Perhaps due to the Headless special traits.
The bartender, who hung his head at his waist, was spared under the oppressive resentnt released by the Headless, and even experienced so growth, sprouting a few hairs symbolizing resentnt from the cut at his neck.
When Han Dong approached the bar, the Headless also followed closely behind.
In such a situation, the bartender was quite composed.
He placed his lantern-like head on the bar as well, his eyes conveying admiration for the “Headless”… He even began to speculate whether the “Headless” in front of him was above the world, and if he perford well, he might be given opportunities he could never touch in his lifeti.
After all, it was too outrageous that he could scare a fierce ghost to death on the spot.
Moreover, the bartender could sense a kind of disdain from the “Headless”… a disdain for lower beings.
It was rely through sheer intimidation that he scared the ghost to death.
At the sa ti, he didn’t take away even a hint of resentnt from the fierce ghost… after all, such low-level resentnt was not only useless to the Headless but could also degrade his own status.
With a warm-hearted deanor, he served them the highest quality drink from the bar, “Heart Edition – Bloody Mary”—a fresh heart perfectly matched with the cocktail.
Urged by the Count, Han Dong drank this unique wine.
“The taste is not bad… I’ll just ask directly, do you know ‘Chen Li’?” Considering Chen Li might use an alias, Han Dong added, “She should be a woman in red, completely clad in red and fond of using cleavers.”
Upon hearing this, the bartender’s lantern head, which was placed on the table, shimred in his eyes.
“Indeed, you must have co from ‘outside,’ specifically to find her, right?”
The bartender seed to know a lot of information, and naturally connected the dots when Han Dong asked about Chen Li.
Han Dong was sowhat surprised, as there were few NPCs in the small world who knew about the ‘outside,’ “You can guess we’re from ‘outside,’ it seems you know quite a lot.
Tell in detail what you know, including about the woman in red, changes in the world, and I noticed that your hair seems to be missing. Speak about anything related to her.”
“Living people have all evacuated weeks ago… Even if so did not leave, they would have been consud by now.
This place has completely turned into a Dead City due to a series of troubles caused by the ‘woman in red’… Only a portion of us ‘ghosts’ can survive in ‘sealed spaces.’
Even we encounter great danger when wandering through the City.
Because the woman in red has a habit of collecting the hair of various ghosts and monsters throughout her range.”
“Collecting hair?”
Han Dong couldn’t help but recall Chen Li’s special traits, primarily cleavers, and secondary traits including black hair… After all, Chen Li had absorbed the Barber from Stuart Manor early on.
With that in mind, Han Dong continued to inquire, “Do you know why she collects hair?”
“Not quite sure.”
“Then… around when did she start collecting hair?”
“It was probably last year.
She didn’t take long after appearing to disrupt our rules here, resulted in the death of the ‘Yin Yang dium – Dragon Granny’ and related organizations—all their hair was stripped by her.
It was probably from that ti that she started collecting ‘the hair of ghosts and monsters.’
At first, she would kill her chosen targets, but later, if the targets were willing to offer their hair willingly, they could survive.”
“Didn’t you resist?”
Han Dong was sowhat surprised, as in his mory… Chen Li’s strength wasn’t enough to shake an entire small world.
“She is very smart and decisive, and the turning point was ‘Dragon Granny’s death.’
The killing of Dragon Granny was a desperate move, she ambushed for a long ti and killed Dragon Granny by surprise, sustaining severe injuries herself… killing Dragon Granny was essentially crossing all the lines, setting her against all ghosts and monsters.”
At that mont, she was severely injured and trapped in Dragon Granny’s residence, almost certainly facing death.
However, she seized an opportunity, and by killing Dragon Granny, she obtained the [Forbidden Lands Key].
The “fierce ghosts” that had once defied managent and were sealed by Dragon Granny were all released by her… The balance was broken, and the “Yin Yang Treaty” ceased to exist.
And she took this opportunity to establish a brand-new organization – [The Dark].”
Upon hearing this, Han Dong was not worried at all; instead, he was happy for Chen Li.
Among Han Dong’s three containnt items, Chen Li had the lowest potential for growth… For Chen Li to keep up, she needed to fundantally change, and taking a desperate action was very necessary.
“No wonder, Chen Li is quite capable… By the way, do you know her whereabouts?”
“Most ghosts and goblins know.
She piled all the collected hair at a Random Burial Mound in Mo Star Ridge, where [The Dark] organization is also centered.”
“Okay…”
Han Dong could tell that the bartender was not lying.
Now that Chen Li’s location was clear, Han Dong imdiately gave Headless a sign with his eyes.
At this mont, the bartender suddenly asked, “Can I co with you?”
Han Dong’s reply was quite direct, “What can you do?”
The bartender quickly held up his head, which took the form of a lantern, with a deep red glow spilling from between the lanterns: “I can provide light and lead the way for you, probably saving about half an hour of travel ti.”
“Co along, and you drive… You should be quite familiar with the roads in Hong Kong.”
Opportunities are for those who want to seize them.
Since the bartender wanted to take this opportunity, Han Dong was happy to offer it, but whether he could survive was another matter.
They got into the car.
The bartender placed his head in the middle of the dashboard in front, and his body handled the driving.
Han Dong lay leisurely in the passenger seat, pondering the information he had heard from the bartender.
“Hair… having collected nearly all the hair of the ghosts and goblins from Yin Yang Road, what exactly does Chen Li want to do?”
Suddenly,
Han Dong rembered the stories of so residents from Derry Town.
For instance, Ultimate Human Demon – Moonlight Miles; the thod he arrived at Derry Town was by being chosen by the mayor and promoted… and the small world he had been in before suffered a horrifying massacre by Miles, accomplishing the achievent of Ten Thousand People Slash, obtaining a transcendence to the Human Demon level through absolute carnage.
“Could it be that Chen Li also wants to—?”
Just as Han Dong considered this, terrifying sounds ca from Faceless, who was sleeping in the back of the van.
“Looking at it now, your minion has a high chance of being promoted here… You might witness quite a spectacle.
In that case, I shouldn’t accompany you.
The resentful energy I emit could influence her, but I must ensure your safety, so here…”
Crack, crack, crack—bones collapsing, body tearing.
Headless actually twisted his whole left arm off… Watching it was quite painful.
Following that, a dark, fat arm covered with black hair at the broken end was tossed into Han Dong’s lap.
“Take it and use it, with your special traits you should be able to attach it.”
