Aorus’s voice was still calm, betraying no particular emotion, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Budman provocatively raised his hands and walked over to the car.
“Sorry, both of you.” Aorus bowed to the two, his face filled with sincere regret, “My friend was too rough.
I assure you, he meant no harm, he just wanted to offer a greeting to an old friend.”
“Budman meant no harm?” Qin Qianbai’s tone was icy, “Then, the malicious one must be you who stands behind him, Aorus Otimis.”
“What benefit would there be for me to harm a friend met by chance?”
The brown-haired man looked extremely helpless, like a good-hearted person trying to mediate but being wrongfully accused.
“Gongsun Ce might think that way… but I think, you could listen to other people’s opinions.
After all, in different people’s eyes, the world and others always appear in various forms.”
“Goodbye, and I hope you have a pleasant evening.”
Budman silently sneered, and with Aorus, they got into the car.
The silver car drove off, with a man’s singing faintly audible from inside the window.
The car disappeared into the night, eventually not even the headlights were visible.
Gongsun Ce’s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
“I…” He gasped heavily, unable to stand up, “I, I…”
“It’s okay, Ah Ce.” The expressionless girl moved forward and gently embraced her friend’s head.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m by your side.” She stroked the young man’s back, letting her gentle voice reach his ears, “I will protect you.”
A pair of leather shoes appeared under the yellow streetlights; Shiyu Lianyi ran over with a grave expression.
He exchanged a glance with the girl and patted Gongsun Ce on his shoulder.
The grey-haired young man snapped back to reality.
It took him a moment to comprehend what was happening.
He stood up awkwardly, quickly raising his hands: “Miss, I——”
Ah Ce, do you remember who launched the attack first?”
Gongsun Ce looked puzzled, “Just the last hit from Budman, Aorus must have made a move too.”
“And what about before that, Gongsun?”
Gongsun Ce rubbed his head in confusion.
“There was another guy.
I remember clearly, he even left me a message, something about dominating fear…” Gongsun Ce grew more puzzled as he spoke, “But…
I can’t seem to recall what he looked like.
What did I say to him?”
That person’s appearance, the content of their conversation—these events that had just happened minutes ago were all but forgotten.
Only a single piece of advice remained in his mind.
——Don’t be dominated by fear, understand fear, control fear…
turn your fear into your “The·power!”
What the hell, what kind of cheesy line is this?!
Was a short-video blogger the one who came looking for him?!
Gongsun Ce didn’t know the two people beside him were communicating telepathically.
（Qin Qianbai, I was just blocked by some ability and had to reluctantly ask you for help.
Was that truly a Spiritual Attack?）
I resisted part of that power, and even then, it took me a while to find Ah Ce.）
（It likely was Spiritual Image Skill…） Shiyu Lianyi thought, （At least Manifestation Level.）
In the car, another heart-wrenching rock song ended its impromptu performance.
Budman slapped the steering wheel, shouting, “Good!
“No more singing.” The guitarist in the back seat threw his guitar aside, “I’m tired, I need to rest!”
Budman spit out contemptuously, “Cut!
Demons are weak like trash now, we won’t get another chance !”
“Our collaborator hasn’t arrived yet.
Defeating Gongsun Ce here would be meaningless and would only draw more attention.”
Aorus, in the passenger seat, watched outside the window, the lights on the roadside blurring into a single hazy line.
“Your acting alone is troubling everyone, Shiyu Lin Wu.”
I am the Heavenly Evil Spirit after all!”
The long-haired singer in the back seat bobbed his head and naturally continued the conversation.
True to his name, his other identity was the fifth of the Shiyu clan.
“I wanted to talk with him more, why did you come to catch me?”
“Your Manifestation is not omnipotent, Shiyu Lianyi could arrive at any moment.”
“That’s even better, I haven’t talked with my big brother for a long time.” Lin Wu hummed an unpleasant little tune, “What’s the meaning of this, all my brothers and sisters are free, but just I, the one who works outside, still have my brainwashing intact, it’s really fucking unfair!”
“Want to bite off the chain, wild dog of Zero Island?” Budman laughed loudly, “Rebel and count me in.”
“Alright, it’s a deal!” Shiyu Lin Wu excitedly high-fived the driver, “While you’re at it, help me check out this person—my little brother recorded her in a concert, she sings amazingly!”
On Shiyu Lin Wu’s phone was a poor-quality video showing a fit, pink-haired girl at the center stage holding a microphone, singing a lyrical song with a rock accompaniment.
Aorus’s brow twisted almost imperceptibly and said, “I’m not a playboy.”
Shiyu Lin Wu hummed the song from the video, thinking.
His most loyal fan had been killed, and both emotionally and logically, he owed revenge.
Yet this most loyal fan was also his greatest enemy, and nominally his father, which made things complicated.
This world is fucking unreasonable, people never really get to decide what they want to do.
If your brain has no ideas, might as well leave it to the songs, the rebellious spirit is the true essence of Anti-God Dao·Black Metal, might as well stick to being myself, rebellious to the end.
Give enemies some help, give teammates some obstacles.
Good luck to you, Demon of Dome City.
