Heavenly King

Chapter 31

"Ah!" Wang Tianshun was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, then turned around and ran out of the community, with the old man's eerie laughter coming from behind him.

Wang Tianshun ran frantically out of the residential compound. The street was crowded, but why were they all standing motionless? Wang Tianshun stopped and looked at a woman in red not far away. The woman's long hair hung down in front of her, her hands were at her sides, and her feet... Wang Tianshun suddenly noticed that only her toes were touching the ground, her heels were raised. And just as Wang Tianshun was observing the woman, the woman in red suddenly turned around, her jet-black hair hanging down in front of her face, and behind her hair, one could vaguely see scarlet eyes staring at Wang Tianshun.

"Hehe~ Hehe~" The woman let out a strange laugh as her body floated toward Wang Tianshun. Yes, it floated.

"A ghost!" Wang Tianshun screamed and turned to run, but the woman in red kept chasing him. And with Wang Tianshun's screams, more and more strange figures appeared in front, behind, left and right. Some were headless, with only a bloody body floating around, blood dripping from beneath them; some were without lower bodies, their intestines hanging out on the ground; some were without arms, their entire heads just bare white bones...

More and more ghosts appeared, their shapes and forms becoming increasingly bizarre, surrounding Wang Tianshun and slowly tightening the encirclement.

Wang Tianshun screamed in terror, his body trembling violently with fear. Suddenly, his body jolted, his eyes widened, and dark green liquid dribbled from the corner of his mouth. Then, with a thud, he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

...

Ma Xiaoniu smiled coldly and teleported away. He didn't leave a logo or take a picture. Ma Xiaoniu would love to have more fools like this, as it would save him so much effort.

Not long after Ma Xiaoniu left, there was a loud knocking on Wang Tianshun's door.

"Tian Shun! Tian Shun? Was that you just shouting? Tian Shun?"

"Huh? The door is half open, is no one here?" The person outside pushed the door open and looked inside. He saw Wang Tianshun lying not far behind the door, his eyes wide open, his face ashen, and a pool of dark green liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Ah!" the newcomer cried out, falling to the ground with a thud. "No, no, something terrible has happened! Someone's dead!"

The sound echoed throughout the entire floor, and soon all the rooms on the floor opened their doors as neighbors rushed over to ask what was happening. Some even started calling the police.

A dozen minutes later, alarms blared throughout the Tomorrow Community, police tape was put up, and many police officers were going in and out. The area around Building 10 was packed with people.

"Hey, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know, what happened?"

"Hey, you guys don't know, do you? Do you know Wang Tianshun from the 10th floor? He's dead!"

"Oh, really? It was perfectly fine yesterday!"

"Do you know how you died?"

"I heard it's haunted! I was terrified! My courage was completely gone!"

"Haunted? Really?"

...

At 6 PM, at home.

After eating, Ma Xiaoniu quickly washed up and prepared to go to bed to read and rest.

"bite"

Ma Xiaoniu's phone vibrated. He took it out and checked it, finding it was a message from the Demon Forum. He opened it.

"Hero! I am Wu Changlin from Unit 1205, Building 5, Green Forest Community, KK District, MH City. The other party just sent me a message saying to prepare money and go to a place called Green Hill Village in the suburbs of MH City. They will tell me what to do next after I get there. Hero, what should I do now?"

Ma Xiaoniu sneered. So they've finally arrived? He sent a message instructing them to do as the robbers asked and not to worry. Then, after a moment's thought, Ma Xiaoniu teleported over.

Lügang Village is a small village near DH City, with only a few dozen households. Perhaps because of its location near DH City, it's quite well-developed. A main road runs through the middle, lined with shady trees on both sides, and the dozens of houses are scattered along the roadside, surrounded by lush vegetation—a pleasant sight. Ma Xiaoniu didn't plan to enter the village; there are cameras everywhere now, and entering might expose him. He hid in a small grove of trees outside the village, located next to the only road leading into the village, making it easy to observe.

About an hour later, it was already dark when a car slowly drove up from a distance. The car drove through the woods where Ma Xiaoniu was, slowly drove to the entrance of the village, and then stopped.

The car stopped at the village entrance for about half an hour, then restarted and turned around to head towards DH City. Meanwhile, Ma Xiaoniu received a message.

"Hero, we just received a message from the robbers at the village entrance. They want us to go to Huangtou Village on the other side of DH City."

Huangtou Village? Ma Xiaoniu wasn't surprised. If the location the robber gave him the first time was the correct one, then it meant that the robber was either a novice or an idiot.

He teleported to Huangtou Village on the other side. The night was deep, and from outside, the village looked like a crouching wild beast. Fortunately, after Ma Xiaoniu had increased his physique several times, his eyesight had improved significantly, and he could vaguely make out his surroundings. He turned and walked into the woods by the roadside to continue waiting.

Lügang Village and Huangtou Village are located at opposite ends of DH City. With the city's traffic lights, it takes about an hour to get from Lügang Village to Huangtou Village.

An hour and ten minutes later, a car finally slowly drove up. By then, it was already nine o'clock at night. The car stopped at the village entrance, and after another twenty minutes, it started up again and turned around to go back.

"Hero, the robbers demand to go to Wohu Village in County B."

Ma Xiaoniu sneered, "Pretty cautious indeed! Fine, I'll let you be arrogant for now, but I'll teach you a lesson later!"

County B is quite far from City DH, about two or three hundred miles apart. It would probably take Wu Changlin's car two or three hours to drive there. Ma Xiaoniu casually sat down in the woods outside Wohu Village, leaning against a tree to rest.

Two hours passed quickly, and it was already 11:30 p.m. The villagers had long since gone to sleep, the lights were off, and the whole world was plunged into darkness.

On the road outside Wohu Village, a car slowly came to a stop. After about ten minutes, a person got out, carrying a suitcase. The person looked around for a while, then walked to a large tree at the village entrance, placed the suitcase on the ground under the tree, and slowly walked back to the car. The car started and drove away.

"Hero, the robbers told me to put the money under the big tree at the entrance of Wohu Village, which I have already done. Now they want me to leave and they'll contact me later. Hero, I have no choice but to leave."

Ma Xiaoniu installed his phone and waited patiently.

===Chapter 30===

It was past midnight when a furtive dark figure crept towards the tree. Soon, it arrived at the tree, quickly grabbed a suitcase, and ran away.

After turning east and west, they finally arrived at a house. The dark figure gently knocked on the door, and the door silently opened a crack. After the person inside saw clearly what was happening, they let the dark figure in.

Upon reaching the courtyard, the shadowy figure and the other person quickly entered the house and locked the door. The shadowy figure turned on the light, instantly illuminating the living room. Two people were sitting on the sofa. One had thick eyebrows and large eyes, a dark complexion, but a thin scar at the corner of his eye. The other had a fair complexion, a mustache, and eyes as sharp as a viper's. The shadowy figure ripped off his mask, revealing a weasel-faced man with a pointed lip. He chuckled, brandished a suitcase, and then walked straight to the sofa, sitting down and placing the suitcase on the coffee table.

The man who opened the door for the monkey-faced man with a red face and arched eyebrows quickly came over and squatted on the other side of the coffee table.

"Monkey, you open it!" the black-faced man said to the monkey with the pointed snout and monkey-like cheeks.
