Volume 10 – Chapter 21: Illusion Of Life (Part 1)

How do we put it?

Yu Danqiang had an unremarkable, textbook-like, and ordinary life for the first thirty-five years.Ordinary junior high school, ordinary high school, ordinary college, and everyday office work. Then, he worked in sales and insurance. He even worked as a community security guard for a few months and later a part-time worker on a construction site. In the end, he became a hawker who sold fish balls in a stall cart.

Yu Danqiang’s old man passed away a few years ago. Now, he still had his mother living in his younger sister’s house. He would meet with them at the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year every year.

He didn’t own any real estate. That place he stayed for a few years had its rent doubled already.

Yu Danqiang wanted to break out of his submissive shell and cussed to the fat lady landlord that “he no longer would rent this awful place.” Sadly, the rent outside was more expensive.

He lived without a girlfriend and usually went to the red light district to deal with his needs.His everyday life was about managing his fish ball stall. When there were customers, he would freshly boil a few pax of fish balls or serve his readily-made hot and sour noodles [1]. When there was no one by his stall, he would sit down and either read newspapers, read light novels, or watch TV.

His favorite drink was Budweiser [2], his favorite meal was egg noodles downstairs of the apartment, and his favorite place was a foot massage center not far from the apartment.

Since he didn’t have a girlfriend and lived alone, he thought about raising a kitten or a puppy. But, he soon gave up on that idea because it was too troublesome to clean up the pet’s poop.

,m Since young, Yu Danqiang liked to read a comic called North Star Fist. Though his preference still stayed the same, he felt embarrassed to read the comic in front of the public.Am I really a loser?

With this thought in mind, Yu Danqiang didn’t have the excitement he imagined when he called over the cute swimsuit girl in front of him. Even if there was excitement in his heart, he didn’t dare to show it.

It’s a young girl who can fly. This place is messed up. It won’t end well. God knows what terrifying means this girl has?

At this time, the girl in the swimsuit set her eyes on the wooden signs in Yu Danqiang’s hand and opened her mouth slightly in surprise, “Eternal Night Talisman? How do you get yourself on that?”Eternal Night Talisman? Yu Danqiang subconsciously looked at the strange wood talisman he had picked up. This swimsuit girl seemed to recognize it? Yu Danqiang immediately struck an idea, “Little sister, do you recognize this thing? I picked it up by accident. Yes, and then that item brought me to this place. Since you recognize this item, can you send me back to where I came from? I promise that I will never say anything about this place!”

Yu Danqiang was self-aware of being an old loser. He was still aware that he had unknowingly been involved in a terrifying whirlpool. He just wanted to get out of trouble. A loser’s life was better than losing his life.

“Huh, how can you get that item by accident? Do you treat me as an idiot?” The swimsuit girl became irritated.

The girl’s gaze grew fierce, like a sharp sword. Yu Danqiang was terrified by her response and lamented in his heart that this brat was so scary.

“I really picked it up accidentally!” Yu Danqiang quickly explained about the event leading him to this place.“A fat guy? He can get back to his original shape after being beaten flat. Brother Xiaosheng? Chains…” The swimsuit girl frowned, “I know who’s the fat guy. So, this piece of talisman in your hand is his possession. But I am surprised. How did you, an ordinary person, activate the Eternal Night Talisman and enter this crack? As for the chain you mentioned…”

Every question the swimsuit girl asked turned Yu Danqiang’s face gloomier. He didn’t know what to say to escape from this trouble.

Yu Danqiang was truthfully the definition of mediocrity. Worse still, he was undoubtedly an old loser. His only merit would probably be that he had a genuine soul as a human being.

“I got it now.” The swimsuit girl relaxed her brows.

Yu Danqiang forwent his fear and asked curiously. “What do you understand?”

“That guy Dong Zhuo might have encountered some trouble at the time, so he planned to launch Eternal Night Talisman to return. But, he failed in the end. Brother Xiaosheng, who you have mentioned, stalled him. That was how you got your hands on the Eternal Night Talisman. “

Yu Danqiang said, “But I don’t know how to use this thing? Could it be… Is it because I have a unique physique mentioned in the legend so that I can activate this thing by myself?”“There’s just an illusion of life, thinking that you’re the main hero.” The swimsuit girl said indifferently, “After the Eternal Night Talisman is activated, it won’t stop on its own. Since Dong Zhuo left, the item is still activated. It just so happens that you picked up the item and got teleported here. Don’t overthink it. From every angle and inside out, you lacked the talent and essence for it. You are indeed just a loser.”

I’m so sorry!

“Fine, anyway, I’m just a worthless loser. Could you send me back? I promise I won’t say anything.” Yu Danqiang patted his chest and said, “I’m not good at anything but keeping secrets is my strength!”

The swimsuit girl said blankly, “Can you do that better than the dead?”

Immediately, chills surged from the sole to his head. Yu Danqiang felt as if he was thrown into a cold storage room, with his legs trembling.

But at this moment, a sharp shriek suddenly sounded behind Yu Danqiang, making his ears hurt. He turned his head instinctively.In the endless void filled with primal chaos in front of this platform, flocks of terrifying creatures flew densely.

They were humanoids, but also like monsters crafted from mud. Behind them were rotten bat-like wings. There weren’t any discernible facial features but hollow faces.

“These… What are those!!!” Yu Danqiang got up, trembling all over.

This is so horrifying!

Like doomsday!These monsters were densely packed and uncountable. They were approaching Yu Danqiang. It reminded Yu Danqiang of the film – Locusts: Day of Destruction [3]!

“Primal Void Demon, the unique life forms existed between cracks. They can be seen everywhere here.” The swimsuit girl said calmly, “But, it has been a long time since I encountered them on this scale.”

“You…” Yu Danqiang suddenly thought of the fat man who couldn’t be killed, “Are they your enemies? They’re here for you, right?”

The swimsuit girl looked at Yu Danqiang and said, “Nope, you have drawn those Primal Void Demon. You are a genuine soul. For the Primal Void Demon, you’re the best delicacy in the world. I’m afraid that once you appear, all the wandering Primal Void Demon nearby can smell you.”Yu Danqiang stepped back subconsciously, approaching the girl in the swimsuit. But, he was stopped by the girl’s cold snort. He halted his approaching steps in fear and could only plead, “Help me…”

But the girl in the swimsuit said nothing. Her eyes were full of indifference.

Yu Danqiang’s heart palpitated. These terrifying monsters would be hunting him down because he overstepped in their home ground.

So, would the vast palaces on this platform go to war with these monsters often? She would be displeased since I drew them here, after all.

Will I die?Yu Danqiang knelt on the ground all of a sudden with his eyes full of despair. Facing the inching monsters, Yu Danqiang could even imagine the horror when he was torn and swallowed by these monsters in the next moment.

Tch, I’m an old loser in the end.

At this time, among many Primal Void Demons, a more terrifying and sharper roar sounded!

That flock of Primal Void Demons stepped aside at this time, seemingly in fear. At the same time, a giant monster that was more than ten times the size of these Void Demon rushed from behind!

“Oh? Even the Primal Void Master is here?” The swimsuit girl looked up, “It seems that you beasts have been hungry for too long, and even the most ordinary genuine soul attracts you all?”

The monster that was ten folds in size was utterly different from other Primal Void Demons, resembling a rotting western dragon.At this moment, the Void Master snarled frantically at the swimsuit girl. Its wings suddenly spread. At the same time, it opened its colossal mouth and spat out a gray ball of light.

The girl in the swimsuit was unfazed. Facing the substantial gray ball of light head-on, she merely whispered, “Gan Jiang, Mo Xie. [4]“
