The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 125

Qing Li walked over to the little boy, who had lost too much blood, making his face pale and almost transparent.

Seeing Qing Li, he barely managed a smile and said, “So this is the real paradise.”

His mother had told them that the land they lived on was the most beautiful paradise in the world, and beyond the paradise was a world full of all sorts of monsters.

Only in paradise could they find a safe haven.

“Did you deliberately break your own arm?” Qing Li guessed.

She took out a note from her pocket that the little girl had given her, which was written in crooked letters: “Please, sister, take Qi Yuan away from here.”

The little boy lay on the ground, gasping for air, weakly saying, “Only in this way, can I leave.”

With his only remaining arm, he tried to prop himself up, his smile turning bitter: “But I might not be able to leave this place. I promised everyone that I would leave and find them a real paradise, where friends don’t disappear for no reason, where there are no mournful howls at midnight, no occasional smell of blood. In the real paradise, everyone can grow up happily.”

Ever since he had memories, his friends would be taken away by adopters when they reached a certain age.

His mother told them that children taken away by adopters were lucky, as adopters were powerful, could protect them and show them the outside world, safe from monsters. Only the best children would be chosen by adopters early on.

Everyone longed for the outside world and worked hard to be chosen by an adopter, studying and training, living in an orderly way.

But over time, they began to notice something was wrong.

The air often carried a smell of blood and there were terrifying screams. Their mother told them that it was because there was a slaughterhouse nearby.

The chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep they ate all came from the slaughterhouse, which was why they occasionally smelled blood and heard screams.

However, the screams were too horrifying, more like human screams.

This temporarily dispelled everyone’s doubts, but then they discovered another problem.

If a child was injured or sick, their mother would have someone take them to a so-called sanatorium for treatment.

But none of them ever came back…

His mother said: their illnesses were too severe, and they had died.

And today, he finally knew the truth.

The so-called treatment was just processing them like livestock.

And the sanatorium was the real slaughterhouse!

Qing Li had no time to sympathize with a little kid’s sadness. She took out a Talisman and placed it on the wound where his shoulder was broken.

The blood that couldn’t be stopped, was instantly stanched.

“Since you’ve promised others and are not dead yet, don’t think about breaking your word.”

Qing Li stuffed his severed arm into her space, planning to find Doctor Chu to sew it back on if they could leave this place.

The little boy looked at the yellow Talisman on his wound, his expression one of surprise.

This was the first time he had seen such a miraculous thing.

“Can you still walk?”

Qing Li stood up, looking down at him.

The young boy stood up tremblingly, then nodded vigorously, “You’re right, how can I give up before I die? As long as I have a breath, I will keep going. I will carry everyone’s hope and find the real paradise for them.”

His eyes sparkled with determination, the belief that sustained him.

Qing Li pursed her lips, she didn’t tell the boy the truth.

Actually…

The outside world is even more terrifying, more cruel.

“Clatter…”

In the dark corner, suddenly there was the sound of chains colliding.

A hoarse voice rang out, “Don’t hurt by mistake, it’s one of us.”

Qing Li raised her eyebrows, in the cage meant for beasts there was also a human, and…

It was the third-ranked player, Zhan Qinghe.

The unkempt and scruffy Zhan Qinghe, tall and large, was now cramped in the narrow cage, grumbling, “Damn it, they said I smoked too much, that I’m not healthy, and they threw me in this godforsaken place.”

If Qing Li hadn’t been brought in, he would have been the next livestock to be slaughtered.

“Seems like even ghosts care about health.”

Qing Li slowly raised her axe and chopped off the lock chain on the cage.

Hearing Qing Li’s sarcasm, Zhan Qinghe indignantly said, “I’m like well-smoked cured meat, flavorful and chewy, they just don’t recognize a good thing.”

He crawled out of the cage on all fours like a dog.

It’s hard to imagine him as the third-ranked player in the live broadcast room.

At that moment, Qing Li extended her hand to him, and Zhan Qinghe shyly said, “Thank you, miss.”

After saying that, he raised his rough hand to grab Qing Li’s delicate one.

However, Qing Li slapped his hand hard, “Let’s settle the rescue fee.”

She showed her wristwatch, her intent clear.

The third-ranked player in the live room should be quite wealthy!

Upon hearing it would cost money, Zhan Qinghe, who had just climbed out of the cage, made a 180-degree turn and crawled back in.

He wrapped the severed chain back around the cage, cheekily saying, “Let’s pretend what just happened, didn’t.”

Anyway, once the girl left, he could still escape after opening the chain.

Humph, no way he’s giving up his money.

Qing Li’s eyes widened, someone had actually freeloaded off her.

“So be it, I respect your choice.”

Qing Li took out a Talisman from her pocket and stuck it on the cage, several arm-thick iron chains emerged from the floor, wrapping around the cage tightly.

Seeing this, Zhan Qinghe panicked.

This girl doesn’t play by the rules!

“Miss, please stop, I really don’t have money, I’m so poor I can’t even afford a lighter, I have no money to give you!”

“How about we settle with my body?”

Though his body was smoked and flavored, he was still a handsome man, with a distinguished appearance, ruggedly attractive, and elegant.

Qing Li naturally had no interest in him looking like an old cured meat, but…

A piece of paper and a pen were stuffed into the iron cage.

“Sign your name and put your handprint, and the debt you owe me will be forgiven,” Qing Li said quite generously.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Qinghe didn’t even look at the content and directly signed his name. He then rubbed his finger on the floor to get some dirty blood and pressed a bloody handprint.

Seeing this, Qing Li couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll sell you?”

Zhan Qinghe chuckled, “I don’t believe such a cute, gentle, kind, and pure girl like you would sell me!”

After a pause, he asked somewhat uneasily, “What’s written on it?”

He began to regret not carefully reading the content on the paper.

Qing Li didn’t answer. She leisurely folded the paper and put it in her pocket.

Then she turned to Zhan Qinghe with a mysterious smile and said, “A contract of servitude.”

Zhan Qinghe: =????(???????)
