Chapter 1036 - Black Tuxedo (1/2)

Li Shentan and Si Liren both lacked common sense, and their thinking had always been unconventional. To strangers, their actions did not seem logical at all.

But it did not mean they were dumb. They still knew what an ”underground parking garage” was.

This was a place where people used to park their vehicles before The Cataclysm. How could there be any fucking treasure in here!

”Are we really going inside? It's so dark. What if there's a trap?” Little Liren said worriedly.

Then she watched Li Shentan cup his hands around his mouth and shout into the underground parking garage, ”Hey, is there a trap inside?”

After waiting a dozen seconds, there was no response from inside. Only the sound of his voice continued echoing in the empty underground parking garage.

Hearing that, Li Shentan said in seriousness, ”There shouldn't be any traps!”

Little Liren was speechless and said helplessly, ”Are you implying that just because no one answered you, there's no trap?”

”More or less.” Li Shentan nodded with a smile before walking toward the dark underground parking garage without hesitation. ”Wait for me here with the herb collectors. She's still inside, so I'm going in to catch her!”

When Little Liren, who was standing behind him, heard this, she did not insist on following him in. Rather, she continued hovering outside the underground parking garage because she knew that Li Shentan had absolute confidence in capturing that lady.

If Li Shentan said that he could capture her, he could definitely do so.

The white beam from the flashlight swept across the underground parking garage. The vehicles parked there had already turned into piles of scrap metal. They were so badly corroded it was difficult to tell that all of them used to be vehicles.

Li Shentan paced slowly around the ruins. In the darkness where the flashlight could not reach, there would occasionally be sounds of slight disturbances. By the time he flicked it over, there would be nothing there anymore.

At the beginning, he thought this place was probably where the Lian tribe's settlement was. But now it seemed like it wasn't the case at all. The other party was just trying to lure him here.

This was the hunting ground the other party had carefully selected, so she must be very proficient at hunting in the dark.

Li Shentan shouted into the darkness, ”Why don't we step forward and talk about the Prosperous Northwest plan?”

As his words trailed off, he tilted his head slightly to the left. Amid the whooshes, an unknown, sharp object brushed past his ear and disturbed Li Shentan's messy head of white, medium-length hair.

”I just want to talk. Why are you getting so worked up?” Li Shentan muttered.

But no matter what he said, the whooshing from the sharp weapons continued coming at him from within the darkness. Li Shentan attempted to search for the enemy's figure with his flashlight while dodging the attacks.

But that girl from the Lian tribe hiding in the darkness was like an apparition. He could not see her at all.

Li Shentan thought for a moment and said, ”Stop thinking about fighting and killing all the time. Why don't I perform a magic trick for you?”

In that instant, a huge cloud of smoke went off around him. The apparition in the darkness seemed to be a little confused, so she did not continue sneaking in attacks at Li Shentan with her concealed weapons.

A moment later, the young lunatic emerged from the smoke. At some point, he had changed into a black tuxedo.

Li Shentan's lips curled. ”I'm gonna start looking for you.” He closed his eyes and switched off his flashlight.

In the completely dark underground parking garage, the air stilled. When another sharp weapon came flying at Li Shentan, he no longer tried to dodge it. Instead, he took out a playing card and flicked it.

The gray Joker on the playing card had a maniacal smile on its face, silently mocking its target.
