Chapter 1487 Back to Elysium (1/2)
Zhou Donglai really was waiting for him, right outside the Geno Core Tablet. He was waiting for Elysian Moon to come out.
He had realized that she had tricked him, and so he wanted to grab hold of her and ask her questions whenever she decided to emerge. But then, all of a sudden, the tablet began to shine.
It wasn't Elysian Moon that appeared. Instead, it was a number of strong spirits and creatures. Zhuo Donglai's face changed, and he immediately turned around and tried to flee.
The creatures took off after him. As they were following, they shouted out, ”Are you Zhuo Donglai?”
”Did that b*tch Elysian Moon call on all those foul beings to kill me?! D*mn it!” Zhuo Donglai was both scared and angry. He thought Elysian Moon had sent them to dispose of him, so he just kept on running, refusing to respond.
”Why are you running?! I asked if you are Zhuo Donglai!” one of the spirits behind shouted again.
”I am not Zhuo Donglai! You fellows made a mistake,” Zhuo Donglai shouted in response, not slowing down his feet the slightest. He was so old, he did not care about his name or reputation anymore. At that age, he only cared about survival.
”How can you not be Zhuo Donglai? You look just like the description Sky Sword gave us. You must be him!” The spirit on his heels did not believe Zhuo Donglai's dismissal, and kept pursuing him.
”Sky B*tch! The spirit must be referring to Elysian Moon. I hope she knows how cheap she is,” he thought to himself. Then, still at top speed, shouted, ”I really am not Zhuo Donglai! And I don't know Sky Sword; neither her brother Earth Sword! You guys must be mistaken, I swear!”
”I know I'm not wrong. You have to be the one. Sky Sword told us to look for someone who was old, ugly, and had the beard of a goat. I don't see anyone else out here that looks like that,” the spirit said.
”F*ck you! You're the old and ugly one. I'm what you'd call vintage.” Zhuo Donglai was extremely angry at hearing the description.
When Zhuo Donglai looked at the horde closing in, he thought it was all over. As the group spread out behind him, a few more came forward to his front and sides. He was entirely surrounded.
”It looks like I, Zhuo Donglai, will meet my end here. It's a shame there was nothing I could do to kill that b*tch.” Zhuo Donglai accepted his fate, knowing he could no longer run. He went on to say, ”Come on! If you want to kill me, I'll still take you all down one by one. You'll pay for this.”
The spirits and creatures looked at him like he was a strange madman. The spirit that had been calling after him in the pursuit then said, ”Are you insane? Who said we were going to kill you? Sky Sword said that if we saw you, we should help take you back to the teleporter. What nonsense are you going on about?”
Zhuo Donglai was shocked. He thought he had slipped into a strange dream, and he said, ”Um, who is this Sky B*stard? And why would they want you to escort me?”
”Isn't he your friend? He said you were his friend. That's why we wanted to help you. Are you sure you're Zhuo Donglai?” All the spirits looked at the funny man in confusion.
Zhuo Donglai then waved his hand and said, ”I am! But I don't know who this Sky B*stard is. Hmm, let me think...”
Zhuo Donglai retreated into his mind. ”Who would be retarded enough to call themselves Sky Sword? I don't know who that is. Whatever, I'll admit who I am first. That'll help me stay alive, at least.”
”Oh, yeah! Sky Sword said his real name is Han Sen,” the spirit added.
Zhuo Donglai opened his eyes wide and said, ”You guys have been talking about Han Sen?”
Again, Zhuo Donglai thought he was dreaming. Guarded by the spirits and creatures, he was escorted back to the teleporter. Then, he was able to return to his garbage shelter.
