Chapter 956 Exposed!

The middle-aged man ignored Lawyer An's words.

He just focused on clacking the batteries in his hand together.

Hellfire wouldn't ignite ordinary objects, but it could cause other damage, like to the two boxes of batteries he'd bought and carried all this way.

They seemed to be ruined.

This saddened the middle-aged man.

He didn't care about the price of these batteries.

What he cared about and couldn't accept was the feeling that he had done something pointless.

Carrying them here, carrying them there,

In the end, what he was carrying had become useless.

It had been a long, long time

Since he'd done something so futile. He really wasn't used to it.

Lawyer An saw that the other man didn't seem to want to pay attention to him.

He slowly began to turn around,

Slowly began to retreat.

Since the man didn't want to talk to him, then he would… leave?

With the grand display of hellfire just now,

It was understandable that Lawyer An was acting timid.

Good feelings were good feelings, closeness was closeness,

These things

Were the same as how he'd felt at the barbecue stand last time.

Except last time,

Lawyer An had felt like he was taking a little brother he liked to see the world, to get a taste of the good life. He had money, he had experience, he could put his arm around the guy's shoulders and call him "Little Li."

But this time,

He clearly wasn't in the mood.

Besides,

There wasn't even a brothel around here, let alone a fancy club.

Lawyer An started to run. He still didn't dare use any other methods, just purely running. And while running, Lawyer An deliberately chose the wrong direction.

At least,

Right now,

He couldn't run towards the campsite.

After running for about fifteen minutes, Lawyer An squatted under a large tree, panting, and began to use his spiritual power to probe his surroundings. That person shouldn't have chased after him, right?

He decided to wait and see;

After another hour,

Lawyer An stood up.

This time,

He was really going back to the campsite.

The other party didn't seem to be hiding anything. Although he appeared like a ghost, he always seemed to be open and aboveboard.

As soon as Lawyer An stood up, he heard the "drip, drip, drip" sound again.

It was the same small dirt pile, the same middle-aged man, the same sound of batteries clacking together.

Except this time it was two AA batteries.

"This…"

One leaf reveals the coming of autumn;

To say nothing of the fact that the earlier hellfire and the man before him were definitely connected,

Just based on his movement technique,

To be able to completely block out someone who relied on spiritual power,

Damn it,

What kind of deity was this?

"Can you fix batteries?"

The middle-aged man seemed to have given up. He put down the batteries in his hand and asked.

"Hsiu Er what?" (mishearing of "sure")

The middle-aged man threw down a pile of batteries, and they rolled to Lawyer An's feet.

Oh, it was batteries.

"I can… I can!"

Lawyer An picked up the batteries

And said solemnly,

"This is the positive terminal, this is the negative terminal. So the batteries are broken? I can fix them, but I don't have any tools right now. I need to find a small town, find a small supermarket to buy some tools, and then I can fix them."

The middle-aged man's expression was calm.

He felt like he had never really disliked the guy in front of him,

Even though according to the rules,

This guy's identity

Should be directly executed.

Perhaps it was because the difference in their status was too great, or perhaps he had long been detached from the level of enforcing and maintaining such regulations, or perhaps it was because of Lawyer An's familiar attitude and the way he wanted to take him to a brothel when they first met.

"What are you doing here?"

The middle-aged man asked.

Last time they met in Hegang,

This time they were in the old forest.

Lawyer An pointed at his face in surprise.

"You, you know me?"

The middle-aged man remained noncommittal.

"I'm here… I'm here…"

Lawyer An took a deep breath

And revealed a look of confusion.

He said,

"I don't know why, but from last night until now, I've felt like there's something in my heart calling to me;

It's calling me forward,

It's guiding my direction,

It's summoning me onward.

It feels like a turning point in fate,

Like a new beginning in life.

And I unconsciously

From Hegang,

Walked,

Walked,

Walked,

It was like I knew, like I was certain,

That there was someone I was looking for up ahead.

And then,

I just stumbled here like this."

Small figures had the wisdom of small figures. Those who could stand out in a certain circle were never simple characters.

After having his memory of last night sealed,

Lawyer An was still able to say these words based on such small details and clues.

It could really be called excellent.

No wonder Feng Si had once told Zhou Ze that he hadn't seen how well An Buqi had done in the past.

The middle-aged man didn't speak. He just smiled and waved his hand.

He left the batteries on the ground

And began to walk forward.

Lawyer An hesitated. He really didn't dare take such a terrifying being back to the campsite this time.

Seeing the other man leave,

Lawyer An could only grit his teeth and continue to follow.

The other man wasn't walking very fast, just at a normal walking speed. Lawyer An could easily keep up, but the careful Lawyer An still noticed that on either side of the route the man was walking, the originally lush and vibrant vegetation was showing a feeling of entering late autumn, as if an entire summer had been forcibly taken away.

Holy crap!

Lawyer An sniffed. Was this the Star-Absorbing Grand Technique? No, the Star-Absorbing Grand Technique wasn't this perverted. It was directly extracting the life force of the surrounding creatures.

And he was sucking it up as he walked. How domineering was that? It was simply terrifying!

Who,

Exactly was this person?

Even those judges couldn't do this, could they? At least, the lower-level judges, Lawyer An was sure they couldn't!

He continued to follow.

After walking for about an hour,

The middle-aged man stopped. Lawyer An also stopped. His soles had already been chafed raw during the day, and it hurt even more when he stopped.

"Do you use batteries often?"

The middle-aged man suddenly asked.

"Yeah, I often use them in the remote control."

"Then, have you ever seen anyone used as a battery?" the middle-aged man asked again.

Then,

The middle-aged man laughed at himself.

What was wrong with him?

To actually ask such a small character such a question.

Before returning to the yang world,

In hell,

He had just discussed this issue with the bodhisattva.

To discuss a question he had discussed with a bodhisattva with this "guilty one" in front of him,

Was it elevating him or blaspheming the bodhisattva?

"What? People can be used as batteries? Isn't that a fantasy?"

The middle-aged man nodded, then shook his head. An Lawyer's answer was not unexpected, but it was a little boring.

Just like a person wouldn't think about what the ant under their feet was thinking,

The middle-aged man didn't pay too much attention to some of the details of An Buqi, nor did he delve into his thoughts and ideas.

In fact,

If he wanted to know or investigate,

It was really simple.

He could just pin An Buqi to the ground and search his soul.

"Who exactly are you?"

Lawyer An finally asked.

The middle-aged man didn't answer.

He was too lazy to answer, and he didn't think it was necessary to answer.

"Are you researching batteries?"

"Just interested," the middle-aged man said.

The middle-aged man sat down.

Then,

Vines began to extend towards the middle-aged man,

Gathering together,

And began to rub against each other,

Setting themselves on fire,

Creating a flame.

"Mushrooms."

The middle-aged man pointed at Lawyer An.

"Oh, okay."

Lawyer An put down the mushrooms he had picked, then picked up a tree branch and skewered them, starting to barbecue.

For people who liked to eat barbecue, everything could be grilled.

The middle-aged man opened his hand, and a bottle of Spider Lily oral solution appeared in his palm.

Lawyer An was stunned.

The middle-aged man examined the Spider Lily oral solution and threw it to Lawyer An.

"How did you get it?"

"Stole it," Lawyer An replied.

He tried not to answer anything related to the Late Night Bookstore.

"So you have your ways."

"You flatter me, you flatter me. This skewer is done."

Lawyer An handed the tree branch with the mushrooms to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took it, took a bite, and frowned slightly. To be honest, it really wasn't good. Never mind that it wasn't seasoned, Lawyer An's barbecue skills were really bad. He had actually grilled the mushrooms to taste like dried bread.

"Is it not good?"

Lawyer An asked cautiously.

The middle-aged man dropped the mushroom. His actions spoke for themselves.

"Then, how about some wine?"

Lawyer An took out a can of beer from his pocket and handed it to the other man.

The middle-aged man took the beer.

"Are you hungry? I have a few Snickers bars here."

Lawyer An felt around in his pockets, took them out, and handed them to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took them

And looked at Lawyer An.

"You have a lot of things on you."

As he spoke,

The middle-aged man seemed to be intrigued.

He hooked his finger at Lawyer An,

And a box of condoms fell out.

He hooked his finger again,

And two bags of betel nuts fell out.

He continued to hook his finger…

The snacks and other little things that Lawyer An was carrying fell out one by one.

At this moment,

Lawyer An felt like he was about to be stripped bare,

But he didn't dare to resist.

He just figured that since the other party wanted to play this game, he could only play along.

"Hm?"

When a AA battery fell out,

The middle-aged man finally smiled.

A battery.

"This is from my flashlight. I only needed one battery, but I took two out, so I kept the other one in my pocket. I didn't dare to throw it away, because I was afraid of polluting the environment."

The middle-aged man took the battery and played with it in his right hand. It was clear that he was happy.

Then, with a habitual flick of his finger,

A damp, wrinkled talisman floated out.

The middle-aged man, who had been observing his newly acquired battery, suddenly froze.

He silently shifted his gaze to the talisman.

The talisman kept getting bigger and bigger in his vision.

I went to the hospital during the day, which delayed my coding time. Well, it's a small problem, nothing serious.

The fifth update will be before 2 a.m. I keep my word.
