Zhao Hao sniffed as he ate three big bowls of rice.
Ye Xingchen had put down his bowl and chopsticks. He had already taken out his phone and started checking the news in their community’s group chat. Unfortunately, the signal here didn’t seem to be particularly good. The news couldn’t be refreshed for a long time, nor could it be sent out.
Sighing, Ye Xingchen put the phone back into his pocket.
It seemed that after moving here, he would have to find some professionals to adjust the network signal. Otherwise, wouldn’t living here be equivalent to being isolated from the outside world?
Ye Xingchen looked at the time and calculated. He felt that if he went back now, it might be midnight when he got home.
He did not want to go back in the middle of the night because there would be more danger at night. There were many monsters hiding in the dark, waiting to start hunting after night fell.
It was pretty good here, except that there was no signal or internet…
If he spent the night here, he could even spend more time observing this place and see if there were any entertainment facilities. At least, he had seen many sports venues just now.
Ye Xingchen stretched out his hand and seemed to have accidentally hit something.
“Hmm?”
Retracting his hand, Ye Xingchen turned around and looked around. There was nothing.
However, the touch just now did not seem like an illusion.
Hence, Ye Xingchen threw another punch in that direction with lightning speed.
In the next moment, Ye Xingchen and Zhao Hao heard an “ow” sound in their ears.
Qin Tianming was starving. He was standing next to Ye Xingchen just now and was reaching out to grab the stir-fried meat in front of Ye Xingchen. He was starving.
However, he did not expect Ye Xingchen to accidentally touch his arm before he could even touch the dish.
He was shocked and quickly retracted his arm, turning around to run.
He didn’t know these people. Although they weren’t on Mo Guanshan’s side, Qin Tianming didn’t dare to provoke them. After all, who knew if they would kill him?
However, Qin Tianming was really too weak now. He had not even run out when he was knocked down by Ye Xingchen’s punch.
Ye Xingchen did not know what he had hit, but he saw a place that had been wiped clean of dust suddenly appear on the ground.
“Oh? Interesting.”
Ye Xingchen picked up the thermal goggles and put them on again. A human-shaped thermal map appeared on the spot that had been wiped clean.
Zhao Hao was shocked and almost choked. He swallowed a mouthful of chili and choked on it, making him cry out.
Ye Xingchen looked at the thermal map on the ground and reached out to pull the person’s hand.
Judging from its size, it should be a child, and it seemed to be a little boy.
“I caught you.”
Ye Xingchen pulled him up from the ground.
Qin Tianming’s legs were trembling. He was pulled up from the ground by Ye Xingchen. He was almost scared out of his wits. He knew that he was going to die here today.
“Sob, sob, sob…”
When Qin Tianming thought of this, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
He had never thought that after hiding for so many days and evading Mo Guanshan’s search, all his previous efforts would go to waste because of his gluttony. He even thought that his father, Qin Gongming, had died in vain.
The more he thought about it, the sadder Qin Tianming became. It was all his fault. His father, Qin Gongming, had saved his life with great difficulty, but he was going to lose it because of his greed.
“I’m, I’m sorry. Sob, sob…”
Qin Tianming sobbed as he revealed his true form.
Zhao Hao finally stopped choking. But when he looked over at Ye Xingchen, his jaw almost fell off.
“Wha wha wha what?!”
He hadn’t even completely accepted Ye Xingchen’s alternate dimension, but something new had appeared here. Zhao Hao instantly felt that this world was too mysterious. He didn’t even remember that he was actually one of the possessors of special abilities.
“Oh? Someone supernatural? Invisibility?”
Ye Xingchen found it very interesting. He had already seen that the child did not have any weapons on him. He did not even have a knife. He did not think that the child could beat him.
However, it did make Ye Xingchen wary. If it weren’t for the fact that he accidentally bumped into him when he was stretching, he wouldn’t have known that someone was standing beside him.
This shouldn’t be the case. The person standing now was just a defenseless child. What if the person standing was an adult with evil intentions?
Did that mean that he was very likely to die at the hands of others for no reason?!
“Who are you? Why are you here? What else do you know besides invisibility?”
Zhao Hao’s eyeballs were about to pop out, but he quickly reacted. He immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, then took Qin Tianming from Ye Xingchen’s hands, crossed his hands behind his back, and pressed him to the ground.
Ye Xingchen rested his elbows on the stone table, then crossed his legs and stared at the child inquisitively.
“I-I’m Qin Tianming. I… I came here with my father. I, I don’t know either. I seem to, just, just know how to turn invisible…”
Qin Tianming was pressed down by Zhao Hao and could not move. However, at this moment, other than fear and regret, he could not think straight. He subconsciously replied to Ye Xingchen’s question.
“Oh? Did you follow your father here? Who is your father? Why did you come with him?”
“My, my father is the butler here. My father’s name is Qin Gongming. Because my, my school is on vacation. Usually, when I’m on vacation, I will come here with my father.”
“Qin Gongming? Do you know that your father is dead?”
Ye Xingchen was a little surprised to hear this name. Other than when Mo Guanshan introduced himself and when he reminisced about the past with his followers, Ye Xingchen never expected to hear the name Qin Gongming again.
What a coincidence.
“Of course I know!”
When Ye Xingchen mentioned this, Qin Tianming suddenly stopped crying. His voice suddenly became angry.
“If it weren’t for me, my father might not have died!”
“They are demons! They killed my father!”
“I must go on living.. I want to avenge my father!”
