Chapter 10, Branch Line

Right at this moment, a rough voice came from outside the shack, addressed to the new neighbor Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, I didn’t know until I went to your place tonight to look for you, so you moved here, I brought you cigarettes.”

Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan looked at each other, both of them frowning, only to hear Xiao Yu say, “I won’t do that kind of thing anymore.”

“Haha,” the owner of that rough voice looked as if he had heard something funny, “What will you eat and drink if you don’t do that kind of thing? Who will give you cigarettes to smoke in the future?”

“You let go of me,” Xiaoyu’s voice was tinged with anger, and the two sides seemed to have gotten into a physical confrontation, and with a tearing sound, it seemed that someone’s clothes were torn.

Yan Liu Yuan looked towards Ren Xiaosu, as a result, Ren Xiaosu was still frowning tightly, he said softly, “Brother, help her.”

Ren Xiaosu stood up and unhooked his bone knife from his calf, lifting it upside down and walking towards the outside of the shack.

Just then, in the palace in Ren Xiaosu’s mind, the keys of the brass typewriter tapped down one by one, forming words on the vellum at the same time as a voice came out from the magnificent palace, “Mission: help …….”

He interrupted the palace with a sneer in his head and said, “I’ll help without you on this mission.”

From the time Ren Xiaosu went out the door with his sword to the time he rushed to that man, it was only a second or two.

Ren Xiaosu didn’t say any threatening words such as “Let her go” or “Try moving again” because he knew that all superfluous actions would lead to failure.

All he wanted to do was to use the simplest way to solve the simplest problem.

When Ren Xiaosu’s slim but sturdy figure rushed towards the hanyou like a cheetah, the hanyou quickly drew his own knife from his waist and slashed at him, everyone in this market town would carry a weapon for defense.

Mockery flooded the hanyou’s mind as he was almost a head taller than Ren Xiaosu, and he was holding a real iron weapon, not some bone knife.

However, in the next instant, his mocking emotions came to an abrupt end.

It was common sense that an iron weapon was better than a bone blade, even if the tendons and bones of today’s beasts had long been strong like steel.

However, if it is as strong as steel, it is not as strong as steel after all.

Cold weapons are not forbidden in the market town, but it is difficult to get a good iron weapon, although some industries are slowly catching up with the pre-catastrophe level, but the resources are limited.

When Ren Xiaosu came to the front of the Han like a shadow, his sprinting action was landed by his left foot, and the right leg which was used to support his whole body weight suddenly tightened its muscles, and the palm of his foot firmly grasped on the ground. The strength of his entire body started from the ground, and like an electric current, it was quickly conducted to his waist and abdomen, and then to his arms!

Ren Xiaosu’s blade was like a gully in the earth, slanting upwards to cut a fissure in the blackness of the night.

With a click, the bone blade and the iron weapon collided with each other, and the people who had originally sneaked around to watch were shocked to see that the two blades unexpectedly shattered into two at the same time, and originally, they had thought that the only thing that would shatter would be the bone blade!

In a split second, that man froze in the effort Ren Xiaosu had already thrown away the bone knife without any reservation, this throwing action was done in one go, as if Ren Xiaosu had already known that the bone knife would be shattered, so from the very beginning he had other plans.

He grabbed that man’s wrist, another fist like a cannon hammer smashed into the armpit nerves of the other party’s empty defense.

The man was trying to break free, but he suddenly realized that this teenager was even stronger than him!

How is that possible? How old is the opponent? This teenager’s size was only up to his neck!

But the Han saw that the sinewy muscles on Ren Xiaosu’s neck were like steel, that was strength.

The axillary nerve, at roughly three inches between the large arm and the armpit, didn’t need to be too precise, as the fist was enough to cover the deviation.

This place is one of the weak points of the body, and when the axillary nerve is subjected to a violent blow it becomes misaligned, and if the nerve is compared to a cable, this misalignment gives rise to an electric current in the axillary nerve, and an uncontrolled release of the electrical signals.

At this point the brain receivers are overloaded with pain messages, and when the nerve circuits are overloaded the limbs receive confused signals.

The body begins to secrete large amounts of calcium and potassium, and a storm of electrical charges is enough to briefly paralyze the entire system!

The hanyou collapsed to the ground with a cry of pain and even had twitches in his limbs, by the time he realized what was going on he no longer had any ability to fight against Ren Xiaosu.

Ren Xiaosu quietly stood beside him seemingly thinking about something, that hanyou gasped for a moment begging for mercy, “I don’t hold grudges, you let me go, I’ll forget about today’s events.”

At this point in time, smart people know that they have become fish meat on the chopping board, the most important thing he should do is not to continue to be brutal and clamor, but to save it for later.

Ren Xiaosu looked at Xiao Yu, “What kind of person is he.”

“He’s a foreman over at the coal mine, the man who was stabbed to death in the market town last night was led by him, because he heard that the man had the habit of saving money, and it just so happened that he owed the casino money, so he got up to no good,” Xiaoyu spilled the beans on what this hanyou was bragging about yesterday.

Ren Xiaosu walked to the road and picked up the hanyou’s iron weapon, then re-walked back to the hanyou, condescendingly looking down on the other party, he counted the time, there were at most four or five seconds left for the other party to resume action.

Suddenly, the palace that was silent for half a day suddenly spoke again, “Mission, let the enemy live.”

But as soon as the palace’s words fell, Ren Xiaosu simply crouched down and handed the iron weapon into the hanyou’s abdomen, the sharp weapon tearing the leather-like sound made all the bystanders or eavesdroppers a burst of scalp numbness, and then the hanyou’s blood began to gurgle outward.

“You have about three minutes left now, if you go to the clinic in the market town in time to get some stitches done, you might still have hope to survive,” Ren Xiaosu said with a calm face.

That hanyou heard that who cares about the pain, he didn’t say anything and immediately got up and ran towards the clinic.

“Mission completed, rewarding basic level learning atlas.”

“Mission accomplished, rewarded with a basic level Learning Atlas.”

“Due to your lack of weapons, a side mission is opened ……”

Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment before he finished listening, the first mission was supposed to save Xiaoyu, he could understand that this one was completed, what he didn’t expect was that the second one was counted as completed by him as well.

How in the world did this palace determine this?

Yan Liu Yuan was curious from the side, ”Brother, you just let him go? What if he goes to the clinic to get stitched up and recuperate from his injuries and seeks revenge on you, he’s not a good person.”

Ren Xiaosu looked at the night: “That shitty clinic in our market town, will be a shit suture ah ……”

“Brother, seeing you so ruthless, I am relieved ……”

Because of this, Ren Xiaosu only sighed that this can also be counted as his completion of the task, this han is actually bound to die ah. And even if not dead, that iron rust on the rust, simply a knife a tetanus of the gods, live down people also waste.

Although the man has iron, but also can only get the cheapest kind, if not, I’m afraid Ren Xiaosu also spelled constantly that iron knife.

Ren Xiaosu this kind of people only have their own firm principles, even with the supernatural ability, but also can not change his way of dealing with the world.

Even with supernatural abilities, he can’t change the way he conducts himself.

Therefore, the judgment of whether the task is completed or not is not harsh, and this palace cares …… only about the attitude that Ren Xiaosu shows?

At this time, there are people whispering in the roadside shacks, in fact, they have long known what kind of ruthless person Ren Xiaosu is over the years, but today they were still surprised once again.

Because today, the two sides’ stature was just too disparate, and the strength that Ren Xiaosu displayed was not even the slightest bit worse than that hanyou, and even outclassed the other side.

This was rather unbelievable.

Someone in one of the shacks muttered in a low voice, “I told you not to mess with him.”

Ren Xiaosu walked to pick up his own bone knife, which had accompanied him for over a year and had finally reached the end of its life.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu was a bit soft in the night, in fact Xiao Yu was eight years older than Ren Xiaosu, but at this moment it looked as if she was eight years younger than Ren Xiaosu.

Ren Xiaosu simply and directly said, “Can you quit smoking?”

Xiaoyu nodded her head vigorously.

“The addictiveness of that thing is not that big, it should just add some poppy husk, Lao Wang said that the proportion of the added material is very low, and you can still quit if you want to,” Ren Xiaosu said while walking to the door of Xiaoyu’s shack and squatted down, fiercely plunging his half of the white bone knife into the mud, only revealing the small half to come.

Some of the people on the roadside who originally still had some crooked thoughts about Xiao Yu were immediately deflated.

In the market town, this half of the bone knife is like a symbol of will, who are not willing to think for a moment to offend this ruthless Ren Xiaosu.

Ren Xiaosu turned his head to Xiao Yu and said, “But there is something to say in advance, although I am very handsome, although …… however we are impossible ……”

Xiao Yu’s expression was instantly staggered, “I’m just taking you as a younger brother.”

This time it was Ren Xiaosu’s turn to be staggered, “Hahahaha, so embarrassing.”

Ren Xiaosu immediately led Yan Liuyuan towards his own shack, glaring at Yan Liuyuan as he walked, “You’re the one that’s blindly chattering about it every day!

Yan Liuyuan secretly turned back to Xiaoyu and winked at her, Xiaoyu smiled when she saw Yan Liuyuan’s face, and it seemed that all those bad feelings had disappeared.

She squatted on the ground and looked at the bone knife for a long time before going back to sleep with a smile on her lips.

Ren Xiaosu, on the other hand, closed her eyes and went to take a closer look inside that palace, as well as the text that the typewriter had just typed out.

Branch line quest, a bit interesting.
