Wang Meng put the handcuffs on the cow’s two horns.

He knew what the other person had been trying to do—if Wang Meng handcuffed himself to the gate, then he could exchange himself so that his father could get out.

But the other party must not have realized that he had a cow.

Once the confused cow’s head was stuck to the gate, Wang Meng backed up and scared the cow.

The cow immediately started pulling back, causing the chain connecting the handcuffs to pull taut. The iron bars on the gate started to bend from the force of it, but the gate still remained shut.

Eventually, the handcuffs fell off the horns and the cow shook its head and walked away angrily.

Wang Meng gave the gate a hard kick, but his legs lost their strength and it felt as if he had broken a few bones. The gate still remained shut.

Wang Meng looked at the handcuffs. The cow’s two horns were big so the handcuffs hadn’t needed to be tightened around them at all. This meant that his hands could easily fit inside them.

He looked at his father, who was already very weak.

He put his hands in the cuffs and then tightened them. The cuffs had a one-way locking mechanism so they couldn’t be loosened once they were tightened.

He was now firmly handcuffed to the iron gate.

Then he began shouting, “Come on! Come out and play!! Come and play with me!”

Baishe was walking in the dark, full of despair. Not only had he lost his cell phone, but the only light he had on him was the dim light from a portable charger. Fortunately, his underwater vision was superior, so he could see a bunch of vague outlines. The first clear thing he saw, however, was a cow slowly walking towards him.

He watched the cow angrily pass him by.

He was very confused by this, but he was too tired to care. Forget it, he said to himself. Let the world burn.(1)

Then he continued walking on for a while until he saw Wang Meng leaning against an iron gate and shouting, “Come and play with me!”

I must be dreaming, he thought to himself.

He quickly turned around and continued walking in the other direction.

Kan Jian turned his head to look at the three dogs and Che Galiba.

“Why am I the one playing the striker?(2) Didn’t we bring the dogs to play the striker?” At this time, Kan Jian was standing at the door to the bedroom. The bedroom door was closed, and there was a strong stench coming from inside.

The three dogs and Che Galiba looked at him steadily.

“The status of the Eight Villainous Dogs of the Wu family is higher than that of the Eight Villains,” Che Galiba whispered. “We’ll cover you.”

The kid in the living room was still playing video games, so absorbed in the games that he was completely ignoring Kan Jian and the others.

Without hesitating, Kan Jian pulled out his slingshot, raised it up, and slowly pushed open the bedroom door.

The violent stench practically slapped him in the face, causing his eyes to burn.

He slowly squeezed in through the gap in the door and saw a bed sheet that was completely green.

There was something that looked like black cotton wool on the sheets, but nothing else.

The glass in the bathroom door had been knocked out of its frame, and when he looked inside, he immediately saw a person sitting on the closed toilet seat.

The person was green. Kan Jian glanced behind him and saw the three dogs and one man looking at him from the gap in the bedroom door, indicating that support was close.

Kan Jian slowly approached the toilet.

At this time, Lucha made a snorting noise as if his nose had been stimulated by some scent. Then, he turned his head and looked at the kid in the living room.

The kid had turned his head and was looking at them.

Lucha looked the kid in the eye and began to slowly bare his teeth and make threatening noises. The kid also started to make the same sounds, as if he was imitating the dog.

Che Galiba looked back, immediately realizing that something was wrong.

Liu Sang looked at the alarm clock in front of him and saw that the countdown had already started.

As he kept his eyes trained on the alarm clock, he slowly dragged the chair over.

Both of them were gone.

He had to hurry.

He finally reached the alarm clock, used his legs to bring it closer, and then crushed it.

Then he fell on the glass shards, grabbed one, and began cutting the rope tied around him.

Soon, he cut the rope off and freed himself.

He rolled over and got up.

One person’s heart was inaudible at a distance while the other person’s was very frantic.

This 17 person wasn’t going to be easy to deal with because he wouldn’t live long anyways, so he didn’t care about the consequences of his actions.

And that artificial heart looked like it was an obsolete foreign product that had been found in imported garbage a few years ago.

He stumbled out of the building and saw a bunch of roses growing in the cracks of the wall outside.

He froze for a moment, feeling that he didn’t understand something.

But there was no time, so he ignored the feeling and rushed out.

In fact, when he walked into that alley earlier, he heard Wang Guo’s advertisement playing on the old man’s radio.(3) He just didn’t expect that the other person’s heart would be like that.

He also didn’t notice anyone approaching at the time, which he couldn’t understand. It should have been impossible for someone to sneak up on him.

Liu Sang went to the place where he was attacked earlier, and after looking at the surrounding environment, he realized that his speculation was right—the other party had turned off his heart, and in those few seconds, he relied on the inertia of life to move slowly through the darkness.

Liu Sang’s cell phone was gone, so he rushed to the entrance of the alley where the old man was still listening to the radio. At this time, he saw Wang Guo standing at the entrance with two subordinates. The other man was very weak and had to lean against the wall as he looked at Liu Sang.

When he heard the broadcast earlier, Liu Sang had already sent his location to Wang Guo.

He had tried to stall for time just now, but it wasn’t enough.

“How many cars do you have?” Liu Sang asked.

Liu Sang was in his own car while one of Wang Guo’s men was in another car.

The two people were on opposite sides of the bridge, facing each other.

“Come on!” Liu Sang shouted.

As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the other man also stepped on his accelerator. The two cars flew towards each other and collided directly on the bridge.

All of the passers-by stood there stunned as the line of cars on both sides of the bridge came to a stop.

Liu Sang reversed the car, turned the wheel, and crashed into the front of the car next to him.

The car on the opposite side began to do the same thing.

Soon, the two cars caused a six-car collision, effectively blocking the whole bridge.

Liu Sang was dragged from the car and beaten.

He looked at Wang Guo, who was standing in the crowd and holding his phone, which was playing a high-frequency video.

The fact that that person wanted to play a “game” at this time and mentioned rush hour traffic meant that it had something to do with this bridge.

We can’t let the victim cross this bridge, Liu Sang thought to himself.

At this time, he suddenly received a slap to the ear, which caused his whole brain to buzz.

He immediately started to push the crowd away; it seemed that someone in the crowd was taking the opportunity to manipulate things from behind the scenes, and having a good time while they were at it.

He looked up and finally saw the culprit—it was a young man with an indifferent face, but his heart was beating like a cheerful fawn.

Liu Sang couldn’t be beaten here; he had other things to do.

The young man was clearly waiting for his chance to kill again while the crowd was chaotic, but his excited heartbeat betrayed him.

Liu Sang immediately lunged at him and headbutted him to the ground.

The action caused his hair to come loose. He soon gained the upper hand.

When Liu Sang stepped forward, the opponent covered his face, but Liu Sang punched his nose once, twice, three times in quick succession.

The other man’s nose was broken, as well as Liu Sang’s fingers.

When Liu Sang stood up again, no one dared to approach him.

He sat on the roof of his car and looked at the people around him. The crowd was becoming denser than before, which meant that there was nowhere to go.

The buzzing in his ears slowly subsided, which was a good thing.

Liu Sang closed his eyes, planning on using his ears to their fullest.

His master had given him a horribly cheesy name for this skill: Open Heaven’s Ears.

TN Notes:

(1) This is a reference to a black comedy movie called “Crazy Alien”, starring Huang Bo and Shen Teng. I think they mistake the alien for a monkey and try to train it, but when it gets its powers back, it beats them up. They’re so tired and wounded by the end that they’re just like “screw it, I’m tired. Destroy the world for all I care.”

(2) A striker, also known as a forward and attacker, is a soccer player who plays nearest to the opponent’s goal and whose primary role is to score goals for their team.

(3) That was a while ago back in chapter 15 so here’s a reminder: Wang Guo said there were 2 murderers.

****
