"What the hell?" Fatty was stunned for a moment, then erupted in anger. He truly hadn't expected this guy to make such a demand.
Is this guy insane? Fatty thought he could rival that Chen Ran from the island dungeon.
These two might as well be brothers from the same mother.
"Mr. Wei," Banana Wolf, who was usually more composed, was also quite angered by Wei Jinting's words. "Do you really have to do this?"
After sizing up Wei Jinting for a moment, Banana Wolf said, "You're badly injured. Are you so sure you can take down both of us?"
"And have you thought about this? Even if you can deal with us, what will you do afterward? You have no leads. How will you face Wu, the man in black?"
"Let's be honest with you. We've survived this long, so we're not as weak as you might think. If it comes to a fight, it'll most likely end in mutual destruction." Banana Wolf paused, then confidently added, "I've studied judo and free combat. Don't let my honest appearance fool you—I'm actually quite skilled."
"Me too," Fatty chimed in, trying to look as fierce and imposing as possible. "I'm even better than him. I suggest you think carefully about this."
"Your family raised you with great difficulty," Fatty said earnestly. "You're still young. Don't go down the path of crime."
"Is that so?" Wei Jinting's smile grew even more exaggerated as he stared at the two of them, as if he had discovered new toys. "But I'm an orphan, so no one cares whether I live or die."
"No problem, no problem," Fatty, desperate to reason with him, blurted out, "If you want, you can consider me your foster family. That way, you'll at least have a home."
Banana Wolf: "???"
With a complicated expression, Banana Wolf looked at Fatty, thinking this guy was no ordinary person. His way with words was impressive—he might even be a hidden powerhouse.
Recalling how Fatty had saved everyone in the sea of fire earlier, Banana Wolf felt even more convinced.
"Do you have a plan to deal with him?" Banana Wolf whispered, his voice filled with surprise and hope. "That's great."
Blinking in confusion, Fatty asked, "Didn't you say you've trained? Judo, free combat?" Fatty remembered Banana Wolf had just claimed to be a skilled fighter.
"I lied to him," Banana Wolf quickly explained.
Fatty paused, his face turning awkward. "Well, brother, it looks like we're in for some trouble." He lowered his voice and added, "I lied too."
Wei Jinting tilted his head, watching the two of them whispering. "Enough," he said with a smile. "Let's begin."
"Don't push your luck!" Fatty mustered his courage and said, "It's two against one. You might not have the upper hand."
"No," Wei Jinting replied with a grin. "You've misunderstood. It's 2 vs. 2. I have someone on my side too."
Realizing something, Banana Wolf immediately turned around, but it was too late. A pitch-black arm shot out, aiming straight for Fatty.
In a panic, Banana Wolf pushed Fatty aside, but his own wrist was grabbed and dragged into the darkness.
By the time Fatty regained his senses, Banana Wolf had already disappeared.
"Banana Wolf!" Fatty shouted.
"Shh—" Wei Jinting placed a finger to his lips as he slowly approached Fatty. A beautiful butterfly knife danced skillfully in his hand.
"Don't make a sound," Wei Jinting squinted his eyes, leaving bloody footprints with each step. The creaking noise was unbearably irritating.
After walking about 5 meters towards Fatty, Wei Jinting stopped. Under Fatty's terrified gaze, he gave a slight bow to the former.
"For the time ahead, I look forward to your guidance."
"Cough, cough..." Banana Wolf woke up in complete darkness, his head feeling heavy. It seemed he had hit his head while being dragged away.
He dared not make any sound or move. Instead, he held his breath, trying to sense any movement nearby.
It must have been a Ghost that took him.
This place was probably another Urban Legend.
He needed to determine the origin of this Urban Legend, or more precisely, who the Ghost in this Urban Legend was.
There was a faint sound nearby, not loud. He held his breath and pressed his head against the wall as much as possible.
The position was extremely uncomfortable, so he slowly shifted his position, his hand feeling along the edge of the wall.
But that one touch sent a chill down his spine.
He felt something furry.
It was quite large, and slowly, it seemed to wake up, moving gradually.
Banana Wolf wasn't sure how he managed to clench his teeth to keep from screaming.
Then, something wet slid across his hand. His sleeve was rolled up, and the wet, strip-like thing continued to his wrist.
A wave of immense fear exploded in his heart, as if his veins were filled with ice shards.
That was a tongue! And it was much longer and larger than a normal person's.
He slowly turned his stiff neck, mechanically looking into the darkness beside him. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything, but at this moment, he felt somewhat relieved.
He was afraid of seeing something that would scare him to death.
It was quite clear now. In the darkness right beside him, against the wall, lay a person, and this person had a long tongue.
The sudden fright nearly made Banana Wolf cry. This must be a hanged Ghost.
He immediately thought of what Fatty had once said.
Chu Jiu!
His eyes paused.
It was Chu Jiu's Urban Legend that had entangled him!
She was hanged by the Ghost Bride in the room, along with Lu Huaxu.
Thinking that it was Chu Jiu licking him, Banana Wolf felt not only fear but also a complex mix of emotions. After some thought, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Chu Jiu had saved him; she had traded her life for his. Thinking this way, even if he died by her hand, it wasn't a loss.
The clues had already been passed on to his teammates.
To be fair, he thought he had done quite well with the last baton Chu Jiu had handed to him.
As she got closer, Banana Wolf could even feel her breath. She was slowly approaching him.
It seemed everything was about to end. At this moment, the fear in Banana Wolf's heart gradually subsided. It was quite good to have Chu Jiu send him off on his final journey, at least better than dying at the hands of a stranger.
No.
A foreign Ghost.
He actually felt a sense of relief that the "fertile water" wasn't flowing to an outsider's field.
At this moment, Chu Jiu had clearly lost consciousness and no longer recognized him. Otherwise, such a kind-hearted person would never have the heart to harm him.
Closer and closer, at the last moment, Banana Wolf opened his arms and embraced the approaching shadow. "Don't be afraid, Chu Jiu," Banana Wolf whispered softly. "Your brother is here to accompany you."
But the next second, Banana Wolf felt that the sensation was quite different from what he had expected, and that tongue was still frantically licking his face.
"Woof woof!"
