I recalled the information that Xiao Jin had collected.
The people at this casino are no saints.
The man in front of Yu Tang was a small-time loan shark boss who had once kidnapped and tortured a girl to death because her family couldn't repay her father's loan...
"The rules of the game."
Yu Tang tapped his fingers, then stepped onto the card table with his hard leather boots, and with a push, stood up directly on it.
He said to the excited crowd around him, "Put his right hand up here."
After everyone did as instructed, she stepped on the man's hand!
"ah--"
The man screamed and cursed, "Bastard! Do you know who my boss is?! If you dare touch me, you'll be hunted down by them!"
Yu Tang stepped on his hand and squatted down in front of the man, smiling broadly: "Then tell me, who is your boss?"
The man shouted arrogantly, "T Group, Alvis! This is S Country. If you mess with me, you've messed with the T Group. You'll die a horrible death!"
"T Group..."
Yu Tang remembered that T Group was the group that belonged to the Eighth World, the group that killed Eileen.
Now it's truly a case of enemies meeting again, their eyes blazing with hatred.
His smile widened, and he pulled out a dagger from his side, saying to the man, "It would have been better if you hadn't told me. Now that you've, I'm even less likely to let you go."
The words had barely left his mouth when he slashed down with a vicious blow!
They severed the man's entire right hand, bone and all!
Then, amidst the man's screams, he kicked the severed hand away, grabbed the revolver on the table, and fired a precise shot into the man's middle "short leg"!
His descendants will be cut off forever!
After doing all this, Yu Tang jumped off the table, put on his hood, and turned to leave.
No one dared to stop them along the way.
As he left the casino, a man wearing a half-mask followed him.
Yu Tang knew that this man was his partner as an assassin, codenamed M, who was exceptionally capable but very mysterious, and no one had ever seen his face.
Even the original owner, who was his partner, didn't know what he looked like.
They can only communicate their identities through coded messages.
The two got into the car, and Yu Tang stubbed out his cigarette, asking him, "I remember you went to South Korea to take on a mission. Has the mission been completed yet?"
"Um……"
After responding, M looked up at Yu Tang in front of her, slightly lost in thought.
Yu Tang felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Jin suddenly screamed in his mind.
[Holy crap! Master, the assassin M in front of you is Mu Nancheng!]
Chapter 2
Revive the villain for the eighth time (02)
Yu Tang: Xiao Jin, this can't be right, can it? In the previous worlds, the villains all had the same identities, they didn't change. How come Mu Nancheng has suddenly become Killer M?
After investigating, Xiao Jin said, "Master, this world is rather special."
[The Seven Souls had previously stirred up this world, causing spacetime rifts.]
[So much so that there are two you and two Mu Nancheng in this world.]
[The you in Sanyu Village and the assassin Y from N country are both you; Mu Nancheng of the Mu family and Y's partner assassin M are also both Mu Nancheng; your timelines overlapped.]
[When Eileen kidnapped you, Mu Nancheng went to rescue you and got the gun, which was given to him by the assassin M during his mission to South Korea.]
The reason is that Killer M is strange; why would someone look exactly like him? So he couldn't help but help Mu Nancheng.
Later, after Mu Nancheng failed to save you, resulting in your death, he also gave up on surgery and returned to Sanyu Village to end his own life.
When he regained consciousness, he had become Killer M.
Therefore, Mu Nancheng is currently in a state of extreme confusion.
Especially after witnessing your actions and seeing your face, which is exactly the same as Yu Tang's, his mind became even more confused.
“Y, you…” Mu Nancheng’s eyes turned red, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into the flesh of his palms.
With difficulty, she asked the question that had been on her mind: "Do you know a man named Yu Tang?"
Yu Tang was still shocked by Xiao Jin's words when he heard Mu Nancheng's question.
After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I don't know him..."
Xiao Jin was shocked: "Master, why did you say you didn't know him?!"
Having traveled through these worlds, Xiao Jin had grown accustomed to Yu Tang's practice of revealing his identity to the soul fragments right from the start.
He was stunned when Yu Tang suddenly refused.
Yu Tang calmly replied, "Because I haven't figured out how to face Mu Nancheng yet. We had many misunderstandings and unpleasant experiences in this world before."
Their ideas always diverge, and they have absolutely no chemistry.
My kindness towards him is more like a habitual act of helping him because of the foundation laid in previous worlds.
In my eyes, he never grew up, and I never really understood what kind of feelings I had for him.
So this time, I want to start over with him, build rapport, and take our relationship seriously.
It's not too late to reveal their identities when the time is right.
"Yes, Master, you're right. I support your decision."
Xiao Jin also recalled this world, and indeed, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
In this world, Yu Tang has always been the one giving and accommodating Mu Nancheng; their relationship is very unequal.
Although Mu Nancheng finally realized his mistake some time later, it was too late.
"Don't you recognize me..." The tiny flame that had ignited in Mu Nancheng's eyes quietly died down. He lowered his gaze, his long, tousled hair obscuring his eyebrows and eyes, and the mask below his nose concealing all his expressions.
Yet, Yu Tang could still sense his despair and loss.
I felt somewhat reluctant to do it.
Yu Tang took out another cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and said, "Who is Yu Tang? A friend you made in Korea?"
"Not friends...it's love..."
The word "lover" lingered in his throat, but Mu Nancheng swallowed it back down, his voice strained as he corrected himself: "He was the person I loved, but I killed him. I didn't deserve his love at all..."
As he said this, the scene of Yu Tang dying on his back on that stormy night flashed through Mu Nancheng's mind.
Tears streamed uncontrollably down his sore eyes, wetting his mask and clothes. He hunched over, curled up in the passenger seat, sobbing uncontrollably.
"It's my fault for letting him down..."
"Why am I still alive...?"
"Damn it, it was me..."
Yu Tang suppressed his inner turmoil, grabbed Mu Nancheng's chin, and pulled him close: "What are you crying for? The dead can't be brought back to life. Those of us who perform this 'torture' cannot have hearts. Have you forgotten this rule?"
After saying that, he exhaled a puff of smoke onto Mu Nancheng's face, blurring the man's vision once again.
Then, a flick of the wrist landed on Mu Nancheng's forehead.
Amidst the swirling smoke, he flashed a slightly roguish smile at him.
"Don't cry, darling, I'll take you to have some fun—"
Chapter 3
Revive the villain for the eighth time (03)
Mu Nancheng stared blankly at Yu Tang, his eyes stinging from the smoke, his vision blurred by the face he had longed for for so long.
And there are familiar movements.
Even the slight pain in my forehead seemed to be guiding me to connect Mr. Y in front of me with Yu Tang.
But Mu Nancheng knew perfectly well that this was impossible...
He personally buried Yu Tang in their small courtyard in Sanyu Village.
Therefore, this man cannot be Yu Tang...
He was just Mr. Y, who was very familiar to Killer M, but very unfamiliar to him.
In a daze, Yu Tang had already released his chin, leaned over, pulled the seatbelt on Mu Nancheng's right side, and fastened him to the passenger seat.
Then he started the car, glanced at the sneaky black car in the rearview mirror, and said, "Hold on tight, we'll be there in a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the gas, accelerating and accelerating again, speeding away like the wind, almost throwing Mu Nancheng into the windshield!
"Cough..." Mu Nancheng awkwardly propped himself up, grabbed the handrail at the top, his red and swollen eyes glazed over.
This prompted Yu Tang to laugh: "M, I feel like you've become stupid after your trip to Korea? Do you really like that Yu Tang that much?"
He was smoking a cigarette and talking to Mu Nancheng while speeding through the city, weaving through the traffic and confusing the cars following them, which made the other car furious and smash its steering wheel.
He kept uttering curses like "fuck" and "shit".
Inside the car, Mu Nancheng finally adjusted to the speed and responded to Yu Tang's question in a low voice: "He saved my life. He made me realize the meaning of my life. But I failed him and even caused his death..."
"Oh, I see." Yu Tang narrowed his eyes, made a neat turn, and lured the car following behind into crashing into a streetlight, causing it to come to a complete standstill. He smiled and said, "Then it seems your feelings for him are indeed quite deep."
"Hey, do you have a photo? I'm really curious about what he looks like."
He smiled at Mu Nancheng: "After all, as far as I know, you've never been attracted to anyone. Hearing you say that makes me itchy to be interested."
“He and you…” Mu Nancheng looked at Yu Tang’s profile as he drove, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he said in a hoarse voice, “He looks exactly like you.”
"Huh?" Yu Tang feigned great surprise and said with a smile, "You're not kidding, are you? I've never heard Old Huang mention that I have a twin brother!"
