Chapter 284: One-Eyed Man: Then I'll be the big brother

The demonic rooster watched with fear.

Holy crap!

You guys are really terrifying.

You've already stabbed him to the point where he's barely alive, and you're still saying things like this. Although I, the demonic rooster, am an undercover agent, putting aside my dignity and face to coax you foolish humans, your behavior is truly atrocious.

I, the demonic rooster, really can't stand it anymore.

Damn it!

Crazy!

Old Zhang's acupuncture is targeted. If you want to cultivate, he'll give you cultivation needles.

If you're injured, he'll give you healing needles.

But now…

Wu Sheng didn't tell Old Zhang what kind of needles to use, and Old Zhang doesn't know what he just used.

The problem is a bit serious.

But only for Old Zhang.

Mistakes are normal, as long as they are within the acceptable range, they can be forgiven.

"Lin Fan, I don't think this is my fault at all."

"Yeah, I think so too."

"He didn't tell me where he felt uncomfortable."

"I know."

"I knew you trusted me the most."

"Who else can I trust if not you?"

Old Zhang was moved, hugging Lin Fan and patting his back. "What should we do with him now? Just let him sleep here?"

"That's all we can do," Lin Fan said.

Afterwards.

They squatted by the bed, resting their chins on their hands, tilting their heads, and quietly watching Wu Sheng's face.

He seemed to be dreaming in his coma.

His brows sometimes relaxed, sometimes furrowed.

Knock, knock!

Someone knocked on the door.

One-Eyed Man had been waiting outside. After Lin Fan opened the door, One-Eyed Man glanced inside. As he expected, the alien, Wu Sheng, had really fainted there.

"Do you need to send him to the hospital?" One-Eyed Man asked.

As long as they asked, one phone call and an ambulance would be arranged perfectly.

Lin Fan said, "No need, he's just asleep. He'll be fine when he wakes up."

One-Eyed Man smiled.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would have believed their lies.

Seeing Wu Sheng's condition, he was truly grateful that he had managed to suppress his inner restlessness and not give Old Zhang another chance.

Otherwise, he would be lying there.

And no one would even call an ambulance for him.

It was a terrifying thought.

Wu Xiu Xiu was waiting outside. She hadn't seen Wu Sheng for a while. When she saw Lin Fan and the others come out, she hesitated, then mustered the courage to ask about Wu Sheng's whereabouts.

Lin Fan didn't hide anything.

"He's asleep in our room. You can find a room here to rest first. I'll let you know when he wakes up."

Hearing these words, Wu Xiu Xiu naturally looked at Lin Fan with a bewildered expression.

Looking at the closed door, thinking her man was still inside, sleeping with them… although they were all men, Wu Xiu Xiu was truly afraid that Lin Fan and the others would… turn towards men.

Perhaps every chubby girl is a fujoshi.

Images that would only appear in Boys' Love fiction popped into her mind.

Such shy scenes.

Night.

Liu Ying came for Old Zhang's treatment. He noticed an extra person in the room but didn't pay much attention. Then, under Old Zhang's acupuncture, he completely fainted.

Old Zhang was very tired at night.

He had to sleep with Liu Ying and Wu Sheng. The bed wasn't big, and Old Zhang, lying in the middle, felt their clothes rubbing against his skin, which was very uncomfortable. So he simply took off their clothes, leaving only their underwear.

Then he covered them with the quilt and fell asleep contentedly.

Xia Du.

Shadow Society.

"Esteemed guest, your arrival has brought great honor to our Shadow Society. We are willing to cooperate with you."

Bei Tao, dressed in a red suit, lavishly praised the distinguished guest from outer space.

The other members of the Shadow Society, having learned about the meteorite crash and the news from within it, had been trying to find a way to cooperate with the newcomer. But unexpectedly, instead of them finding him, he found them.

Mu Hao, after emerging from the meteorite, found himself in a remote location, not where he intended to go. Later, he encountered a demonic being, and after a conversation, they reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.

Following that, the demonic being introduced Mu Hao to the senior members of the Shadow Society.

That's how the current situation came about.

Mu Hao said arrogantly, "Cooperating with you weaklings is truly out of necessity, but you do have some abilities. After a while, when the passage opens, you can join my Mu family, and your safety will be guaranteed."

At this moment, the status and position of these Shadow Society executives were beyond imagination, but now this guy was completely disrespecting them, not only insulting them with his words, but also treating them like subordinates.

It was truly intolerable.

But there was nothing they could do.

The opponent's strength was truly too great.

This was also their biggest worry.

The vanguard was already so powerful, how powerful would the people behind him be?

It was something they didn't even dare to imagine.

Therefore, they felt that this was enduring humiliation for a greater purpose.

Bei Tao said, "It's our honor to be able to join the Mu family."

In this situation, they had to say nice things and flatter him. Bei Tao was also very curious about what kind of existence the Mu family was. Were they really that powerful?

Hearing Mu Hao's words, Bei Tao felt a sense of their own insignificance, like a speck of dust in the universe, no… perhaps not even a speck of dust.

June 18th!

Sunny!

One-Eyed Man arrived early outside the dormitory. As he was about to knock, he saw Liu Ying hurriedly leaving with his shirt in hand.

"You..."

One-Eyed Man looked at his bare upper body, wanting to ask something, but seeing Liu Ying looking as if he had been frightened, he gave him an awkward smile, then put on his shirt and scurried away.

"Strange."

He shook his head, not understanding Liu Ying's actions, and then walked directly into the room.

Inside the room.

Lin Fan was boiling eggs.

Old Zhang was sitting on the side of the bed, getting dressed. Seeing One-Eyed Man come in, he smiled. And on his bed, there was another person lying there, Wu Sheng, whom they had just met yesterday.

His purpose in coming here early in the morning wasn't to chat with Lin Fan and the others, but to worry that Wu Sheng, upon waking up and discovering he had been tricked, would become angry and develop a misunderstanding of humanity.

He came from the universe.

Being able to talk to them so reasonably meant he was still a decent person. They mustn't cause conflict because of this incident.

After all…

The two people you trust are mentally ill. Others may not understand, but I do.

"Why are you here?" Lin Fan asked, handing him a boiled egg. "Just boiled, try it, it tastes pretty good."

One-Eyed Man didn't refuse.

When a mentally ill person offers you something, regardless of whether you eat it or not, just accept it. If you don't, they'll just keep going on about it, which is a waste of time.

One-Eyed Man said, "Just came to see how he's doing."

"Very well, sleeping soundly." Lin Fan peeled the egg and opened his mouth, swallowing it in one gulp.

The demonic rooster watched with heartache.

It had feelings for every egg; they were its children. Although they hadn't hatched yet, from a biological perspective, they were half-children.

One-Eyed Man stood there, carefully observing Wu Sheng. His breathing was even, he still had a pulse, and the rising and falling of his chest indicated he was alive. As long as he was alive, that was good. He was just afraid that he would be played to death.

Under normal circumstances, and based on his own experience, after being needled by Old Zhang, one should wake up the next day. Looking at the time, it should be about time.

Ying ying!

A strange sound came.

This was the strange sound of someone waking up.

Wu Sheng's eyelids twitched slightly as he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was somewhat unfocused, as if he had been unconscious for a long time, his mind a blank, unable to recall many things.

"I..."

He wanted to speak, but his mind felt strained, needing time to buffer and relieve the pressure.

"The situation is a bit serious," the one-eyed man muttered, observing Wu Sheng's condition. When he had woken up before, although he had been a bit dazed, it hadn't been like this.

Clearly... the acupuncture Old Zhang had given him had a significant impact.

Afterwards, the one-eyed man came to Wu Sheng's bedside and said in a low voice, "Actually, there's something I haven't told you, but you..."

Just as he was preparing to coax Wu Sheng, mid-sentence, Wu Sheng interrupted him. To Wu Sheng, it was all noise, like a mosquito buzzing in his ear.

The one-eyed man noticed that Wu Sheng's expression as he looked at Old Zhang was a little off.

Not good...

As expected, he was truly enraged.

He had been knocked unconscious by Old Zhang's acupuncture and was definitely unhappy, or perhaps he realized he had been tricked and wanted to kill Old Zhang to relieve his hatred.

Full of regret.

If he had known this would happen, he should have just been upfront about everything from the beginning. Even if he offended Old Zhang, it wouldn't have mattered, at least this situation wouldn't have occurred.

The one-eyed man remained silent, observing Wu Sheng's condition. He wanted to ask if his legs couldn't move, or his arms, or perhaps half of his body was paralyzed.

As soon as Wu Sheng showed any sign of panic at losing control of his body, he would comfort him.

Don't be nervous.

Don't be afraid.

I've experienced all this before, it's quite normal. Just rest for a while and it will be fine. Don't take it to heart.

He waited patiently.

Hurry up and be afraid, hurry up and show some panic.

He could hardly wait.

Lin Fan and Old Zhang exchanged glances, then looked at Wu Sheng together. Neither of them spoke, but their eyes shone with a strange light, as if they were communicating through their gazes.

Suddenly, Wu Sheng stood up excitedly. Even though he was only wearing a pair of underwear, it couldn't hide his excitement.

"Master, you are amazing!"

He was already using honorifics. Previously, he had only used "you."

"Huh?"

The one-eyed man was stunned, feeling that something was not quite right.

Logically, he should be furious now.

But now he was being so respectful, it caught him off guard.

Old Zhang held his head high. "My Cosmic Circulation Technique is very powerful."

He didn't understand why Wu Sheng was so excited, but as long as it was praise for him, he would accept it readily.

Wu Sheng was truly激动.

"Of course it's powerful! Master's acupuncture skills, I believe, are unmatched in the entire universe. No... there's simply no one who can compare to Master."

The one-eyed man felt something was wrong.

Not only was he not angry, but he was also praising Old Zhang profusely.

Could it be…

that the acupuncture actually worked?

"Your strength has improved," Lin Fan stated. He saw through Wu Sheng's condition at a glance.

Wu Sheng didn't hide it. "Yes, thanks to Master's acupuncture, I actually comprehended my ancestral secret art, the 'Grand Dream Millennium Scripture,' while unconscious. I never would have imagined it. If people outside knew that Master had this ability, they would definitely go crazy."

Wu Sheng's eyes now shone with fervor as he looked at Old Zhang.

He had discovered a treasure!

Old Zhang wasn't quite sure why they were so excited. What 'Grand Dream Millennium Scripture'?

He didn't understand at all.

But these weren't issues. He was currently rather pleased, as he could still feel the praise directed at him.

The one-eyed man looked as if he had seen a ghost. Although he didn't know what the 'Grand Dream Millennium Scripture' was, he could sense that it was probably a secret art, and a difficult one to cultivate, yet Wu Sheng had comprehended it just because of Old Zhang's acupuncture.

"Is it really that powerful?"

His dead heart began to stir again. Old Zhang had told him that he could help him regrow his eye, but after being needled several times without success, and nearly becoming crippled in the process, he had become afraid.

But now…

Why did it seem like everyone else was succeeding except him?

At this moment, the one-eyed man looked at Old Zhang, then moved closer to him and whispered, "How did you do it?"

Old Zhang replied, "My acupuncture is very powerful."

Lin Fan said, "Do you want to try it? Old Zhang can help you regrow your eye."

Those words again.

The one-eyed man didn't know whether he should believe Old Zhang.

Honestly, he was a little hopeful, but more afraid, worried about being tricked again.

However, the one-eyed man didn't want to think about these things for the time being. Instead, he was worried about what Wu Sheng had said. If Wu Sheng told others about Old Zhang's ability, it might cause a lot of trouble.

The most crucial point was that both Old Zhang and Lin Fan were mental patients.

They should be easily deceived.

However, he was really overthinking it. Although Lin Fan was a mental patient, he didn't seem stupid. From the beginning until now, he had beaten up quite a few people, but he had never been cheated.

The one-eyed man said to Wu Sheng, "I hope you can keep this secret. If others find out, I'm afraid it will bring them great trouble."

"You're absolutely right. Don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and won't tell anyone," Wu Sheng vowed.

He thought about it carefully.

This was a secret he had discovered, and he definitely wouldn't tell anyone. Moreover, his current thought was simple: if possible, he would introduce Old Zhang and Lin Fan to the elders of his clan.

Befriend them.

He must befriend them.

And as the pioneer, he would naturally have made a great contribution. Just thinking about it made him excited.

The one-eyed man didn't know Wu Sheng's true thoughts.

If he had known earlier that Old Zhang could help Wu Sheng, he would have done anything to prevent it. It was completely self-defeating, and now Wu Sheng had discovered this secret. Just thinking about it made him feel uneasy.

Because of Old Zhang's appearance, Wu Sheng's thoughts had changed slightly. Originally, he had wanted to become ordinary friends with Lin Fan and Old Zhang, but now… they had to be like brothers.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Sheng clasped his hands and said, "Two elder brothers, I feel like I've known you both for a lifetime. How about we become sworn brothers today?"

"I'll be the youngest."

"The two elder brothers can decide the rest."

His enthusiasm was burning.

The one-eyed man looked around. There were clearly four people, yet he spoke of two elder brothers.

He was clearly not counting him as a person.

No, he had to take the initiative.

The one-eyed man smiled and said, "Wu Sheng is right. We all feel like we've known each other for a lifetime. Since that's the case, I can't refuse. I'll be the eldest brother then."

"Haha..."

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Wu Sheng: ???

What are you doing?

Are you sick?

Why do you have to butt in on everything?
