The drunkard looked back at the trash bin again. "The remains of the gods have been collected by the cleaner. Don't the cleaners usually collect the garbage at twelve midnight?"
"Could it be that I actually drank with Bru for most of the day? In most of the day, the two of us only drank four or five bottles of wine?!"
He scratched his head in disappointment and muttered to himself, "I'm getting old, my capacity for alcohol is failing... Two bottles of wine can make me drunk for most of the day. I should drink less in the future... lest... lest it affect my god - hunting..."
After saying that, he staggered away.
Qin Siyang didn't hesitate at all. He couldn't think too much either. He just ran tirelessly in the small alley. The small alley was dark and deserted, allowing him to escape at full speed. When he reached the end of the alley and returned to the main road, he pretended to be an ordinary passer - by again, lowered his head, and walked quickly. Then he waited for an opportunity to enter another small alley. This escape strategy made his journey smooth, and no one noticed this shabbily - dressed teenager.
Perhaps due to the sequence upgrade, his physical energy was replenished again. The previous fatigue was completely gone, and his muscles were even more energetic when he moved.
"I've been running for almost twenty minutes and passed a bus stop, but still no one is chasing me."
Qin Siyang was still extremely vigilant. His heart was pounding, and blood was constantly surging to his head, stimulating him to maintain the highest level of concentration at all times. He scanned the surroundings with his peripheral vision and also paid attention to the footsteps behind him, for fear of being discovered.
"Damn it. If it weren't for that drunkard, I could have eaten them all! Just a little more time!"
Thinking of the drunkard, Qin Siyang felt a bit resentful, but also a bit fortunate. That person was so drunk that he couldn't even walk steadily. He took two steps forward and one step back, and had to lean on the wall. Presumably, he not only couldn't see clearly, but his consciousness was also blurred. If the person who saw him at that time wasn't drunk, he would probably have noticed something was wrong immediately and reported it to the people of the United Government. Then he might have been caught by now! It was really the heavens protecting him secretly.
"If I were caught with these remains of the gods in my schoolbag, I really wouldn't be able to explain myself."
Even if he didn't take the remains in the schoolbag, he would still be targeted and it would be difficult to escape. What's more, there were more than a dozen remains of the gods in his schoolbag.
The reason he took these was that he could already predict that the benefit of finding the remains of the gods in the trash bin would basically be gone after tonight.
The theft of the remains of the gods wasn't a very serious matter because these remains were useless. Qin Siyang had seen in the internet café last time that "people can't digest the remains of the gods and can only spit them out intact or excrete them from the body." No one would take the useless remains of the gods.
Although the remains of the gods were useless, the fact that they disappeared was very strange. Since they were useless, why were they stolen? Was there some conspiracy behind it?
The disappearance of the remains of the gods from two trash bins in a row for two days would attract the attention of many people. The police were probably already paying attention.
Qin Siyang stole from the trash bins for two consecutive days because he hoped to become stronger in the shortest possible time. If it were someone else, they might do it step by step, go to get them after a while, and not take them all at once.
But Qin Siyang had suffered from "taking things step by step" in his previous life. He thought that work was about gradually accumulating, growing slowly, and then getting promoted and a raise. However, he never waited for the opportunity to get promoted until he died.
This made him realize that a slow - paced plan was suitable for capitalists with a certain foundation, not for a poor guy like him. "Seeking quick success" was the good strategy for bottom - level workers to turn things around. Because his ability to resist changes was too poor, and the slightest disturbance could crush him.
What if the United Government arranged guards at every trash bin in the future? How should he deal with it? Should he hide for a lifetime? He didn't know when the next opportunity would come.
Reborn in this life, he didn't want to wait silently anymore. If he could do it today, he would never wait until tomorrow. It's better to act early, for delay may bring changes.
It could be foreseen that it was very likely that Qin Siyang would expose himself if he wanted to take the remains of the gods from the trash bin again.
Since this was the last time, and the person who found him was a slow - witted drunkard, of course he had to take as much as possible.
To put it another way, whether he took these remains of the gods or not, once caught by the people of the United Government, it would be difficult for him to escape. The bold thrive, while the timid starve!
Qin Siyang saw that the blood was seeping slightly from the schoolbag, so he changed to holding the schoolbag in his arms and then rushed back into the small alley. In the small alley, unlike the main road where there was a dim street lamp at intervals, it was completely dark.
The only light was the starlight from the sky, shining down through the air - defense glass on the top of the safety zone. With the improvement of his physical quality, Qin Siyang could see the path in the dark alley clearly.
The dark environment happened to be his advantage, which could cover his face. Even if there were people, he could run past without any scruples, without worrying about exposing himself at all.
Let's just run back home like this!
However, just as he turned into a dark alley, a sudden change occurred. A small knife flew from the corner, stabbing straight at his right eye.
What's going on?!
His agility was far beyond that of ordinary people. The moment he saw the small knife, he immediately dodged to the side. The small knife fell to the ground, hitting the stone - paved road in the alley and making a crisp sound.
Qin Siyang's gaze locked on three figures by the roadside.
The three of them had unkempt long hair and a teasing look on their faces.
"Unexpectedly, we can have a fat sheep passing by while we're sleeping here."
"It's our three brothers' good fortune!"
The three stood up and surrounded Qin Siyang.
Qin Siyang asked coldly, "What do you want?"
"What do we want? You still need to ask? Of course, it's a robbery."
Robbery?
Couldn't these people tell that his coat was very shabby? What was the use of robbing a poor boy like him?
"I have no money." Qin Siyang frowned, but he was anxious about the passing of time in his heart.
He didn't have time to argue with these three people here. The disappearance of the remains of the gods in the trash bin could be exposed at any time, and he had to get away from the exit of Safety Zone No. 89757 as soon as possible.
At this position, it was only two stops away from there, and it was far from a safe range. Moreover, he was still holding a schoolbag full of the remains of the gods!
At this time, one person pushed up his greasy bangs and showed a wicked smile. "If you have no money, it's easy. Just leave the schoolbag."
These three people had their eyes on his schoolbag?!
Qin Siyang looked at the schoolbag in his arms and covered the place where the blood was seeping with his hand, thinking secretly that things were not going well.
"There's nothing valuable in this schoolbag, but I can't give it to you."
"Nothing valuable? Then open it and let us have a look!"
Qin Siyang looked at the few homeless people who were robbing him. He wasn't flustered in his heart. They were just ordinary people. If he wanted to escape, the three of them surely couldn't stop him.
Just as he was thinking about which direction to break through and leave, one person said teasingly again, "You kid, running so fast in this small alley as if you're running for your life. There must be some shady treasure in your bag. How about this? We're not greedy. You keep one - fourth of it, and give the remaining three - fourths to our three brothers. We'll help you keep the secret together. What do you think?"
Another person echoed, "That's right.""Leave the stuff, and the three of us can pretend we never saw you. Otherwise, you'll surely get a beating. Even if you can run away, the three of us can go to the police station and report you! When you turned in just now, the streetlight illuminated your face, and we've remembered it!"
Hearing this, Qin Siyang, who was about to escape, stopped in his tracks. These three people had seen him, which meant there was a risk of his exposure. If they really went to the police station to report him, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?
Suddenly, a murderous intent welled up in his heart. The fierce look in his eyes was immediately caught by the experienced gangsters who had been living in the gray area for years.
"Boss, this kid's eyes seem tough!"
"Is he going to fight? Ha, just this poor kid? Since he wants to fight, it means the treasure in the schoolbag is extremely valuable! Then let's three brothers kill him and take the wealth in the bag for ourselves!"
As they said this, the three of them each took out a knife and stabbed at Qin Siyang one after another.
Qin Siyang had never killed anyone before. Just now, it was just a passing thought. For Qin Siyang, who had lived an ordinary life in a civilized society all his life, killing wasn't an easy thing.
He originally couldn't make up his mind to kill, but now he was exactly forced into a corner by these three gangsters.
"If it's God's will for you to die, then don't blame me."
"The kid is quite arrogant! Kill him!"
The three of them thought that Qin Siyang had nowhere to hide and would surely be stabbed through by their blades. They were already feeling complacent. However, their attacking postures seemed as weak as those of three - year - old children in his eyes.
Qin Siyang threw a straight punch, quickly hitting the face of the person closest to him. When his fist touched the man's nose, his knuckles clearly felt the vibration of a crisp break.
Qin Siyang realized that he could perceive weak information in an extremely short moment and noticed this change from the actual combat. Blood spurted out from the man's nose and mouth.
"Thud!"
The man was punched by Qin Siyang so that his feet left the ground. He flew backwards for seven or eight meters before landing and then rolled a few steps on the stone slab before stopping.
Qin Siyang's keen five senses allowed him to clearly witness the whole process of this killing punch, and his heart was filled with surging excitement.
He had killed someone!
That face, which no longer looked human, was facing Qin Siyang and the other two gangsters with a strange expression.
The two saw this scene and trembled in fear. They immediately realized that they had provoked a sequential ability user! But despite their fear, the two didn't retreat.
They were both fugitives with murder cases on their hands and clearly knew that at this point, it was a matter of life and death. Begging for mercy was useless!
The only way to survive was to kill Qin Siyang!
The two rushed towards Qin Siyang even more frantically, holding the knives in their hands to stab him to death.
Qin Siyang stepped back with his left leg and then swept his right leg, directly kicking at one person's waist.
There were more crisp bone - cracking sounds coming along his leg bone. The man was folded in two at a strange angle and swung in the air along with Qin Siyang's leg.
When Qin Siyang retracted his leg, the flying man collided exactly with the last gangster who was running over to surround and kill Qin Siyang, and the two rolled backwards several times together.
Qin Siyang didn't hesitate. He leaped forward and came to the man who was knocked dizzy. He raised his fist again.
"Spare me! I'll give you all the money I have on me..."
At this point, the instinct for survival still made the gangster choose to plead for mercy.
But Qin Siyang didn't give him a chance to continue speaking. This punch landed on his side face, shattering his skull.
"If I kill you, the money on you will be mine too."
After killing three people in a row, the murderous intent in Qin Siyang's heart gradually faded and was quickly replaced by an inexplicable emptiness.
He let out a sigh with a hint of disappointment.
He never thought that he would actually kill someone. But this was to protect himself, and there was nothing more to say.
Moreover, Qin Siyang always felt that killing these three people was probably not the end but a beginning.
A beginning for him to get used to being able to kill.
Qin Siyang silently cheered himself up in his heart, trying to calm down his body, which was trembling nervously because of killing.
After calming down, Qin Siyang didn't leave immediately. Because he remembered that there were some sequences in [God - Slaying Camp] that could read the last memories of the dead. To avoid his exposure, he wrapped his fist with one person's clothes and beat the faces of the three people beyond recognition, thinking that everything was proper.
After cleaning up the scene, carefully getting rid of the bloodstains, he took out all the money from their clothes and stuffed the three corpses into a dark and abandoned warehouse.
He lit a fire to burn the three corpses. Incidentally, he also burned his blood - stained coat.
He did this to prevent any sequential ability users from finding him through the smell of the corpses. Although he wasn't sure if there were sequential ability users who could find people by smell, he always thought it was very possible.
The reason he chose this warehouse was also to avoid being tracked by someone following the smell.
He found that the road in front of the warehouse was muddy, with many different footprints, indicating that many people had been here, which could confuse the smell.
To avoid leaving his own footprints on the muddy road, he carefully jumped on the gravel relying on his strength and agility, leaving no trace.
"I hope there won't be any problems."
Qin Siyang was worried that the firelight would attract the attention of others, so after confirming that the flames had engulfed the three people, he fled the scene at full speed.
This time, he ran with all his might, like a madman.
If anyone had seen him in this alley, they might have thought that what had just passed by wasn't a person but a fast - moving car.
Qin Siyang ran for more than half an hour before returning to the main road again.
His heart was still a little excited because of the first killing. But he was no longer panicked at all, and his eyes became even more determined. "I express my regret for their deaths, that's all."
