Chapter 70: The World’s Inverted Reflection!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the darkness.

Lu Ming regained his consciousness dazedly.

His head was hurting…

Oh.

Right, he had been smacked by the black cat.

Lu Ming opened his eyes, only to discover a strange and mysterious world before him.

On an imaginary street, shadows were pacing back and forth. Yes, there were only shadows and no bodies. Everyone looked uncanny.

Because—

They only had shadows.

It was just that…

Now, these shadows were standing and walking like actual bodies.

This was…

Before Lu Ming could come to his senses, he realized that he was also a shadow now.

He did not have a body!

What the hell was this?

Lu Ming felt that this was inexplicable.

From a signboard afar which was formed by a certain shadow, he saw some crooked words – The World of Darkness and Shadows.

This was…

Lu Ming’s pupils constricted.

The World of Darkness and Shadows!

This place was actually the World of Darkness and Shadows!

He had heard of this legend from Little Lu Ming’s memory.

According to rumors…

There was such a place.

People hid their real identities and traded all sorts of forbidden stuff there.

Lives, drugs, organs, information…

These were the norm here.

There were only under-the-table services available in this place.

All the sins in the world were commodities with clear price tags.

The Dark web?

This term jumped out in Lu Ming’s heart.

He did not really expect such a place to really exist in the alternate world! Moreover, due to powerful cultivation and technology, this place had formed a world of its own!

He stretched out his hand.

Well…

There was a shadow.

The people in this place were all shadows?

His gaze swept across the roadside. No one was paying attention to him. This was because everyone was a shadow and could not see whether someone else was looking at him.

This place…

He could not see anything.

How did they trade?

Lu Ming was astonished to discover two people in the midst of a trade. Speech balloons were popping out above their heads.

Of course.

From his angle, he could only see endless *****. Only the two parties involved in the trade knew what they were talking about.

Lu Ming was amazed.

So, this was the so-called World of Darkness and Shadows?

“Brother Cat?”

Lu Ming stepped into the Sea of Consciousness.

He discovered a trace of fatigue emerging on the face of the usually proud and arrogant black cat at this moment. It was in a deep slumber. The bell on its neck was transmitting energy constantly, seemingly helping it to recover.

He was sleeping soundly?

Lu Ming could only return to the World of Darkness and Shadows again.

In this place…

He surveyed the place.

There were a few shops nearby.

Well…

Murders, illusions, information…

These were the few shops that were the nearest to him.

Before Lu Ming entered the ‘Information’ shop, a dialog box suddenly popped out.

— May I know what you want to buy?

— Legacy Information

— Tracing Information

— Death Namelist (1 Shadow Coin)

It was a long list. The last one was — Contact the Shop Owner.

This was automated?

Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

Some of the items in the list could be accessed free-of-charge. However, those options provided afterwards were chargeable.

This was a simple procedure.

Perhaps…

They did not care about the methodology. They only cared about the encryption.

Lu Ming looked at those that were free-of-charge.

There were almost none.

He walked to the ‘Illusion’ shop. All kinds of forbidden illusions popped out. Some of the illusions that were illegal or banned still existed.

They were not only pornographic options but also murder.

Or perhaps…

Death illusions.

Some people actually tasted death in illusions.

Some people were thrilled by the sensation of being dismembered.

The more Lu Ming looked, the more chilled he felt. He could feel the stench of blood launching onto his face just by watching the names of these illusions without spending any Shadow Coin.

At a distance away.

There was an ‘Assassination’ Shop.

Lu Ming entered it and scanned the dialog box.

— Accept Mission

— Publish Mission

Lu Ming opted for ‘Accept Mission’ and dropped it into the cart.

A set of dense data appeared before his eyes. However, the shop also provided filtering options. From region, rating and price, it was very comprehensive.

There were so many?

Lu Ming was appalled.

The services provided by this small shop were so extensive?

No.

It should not be!

Lu Ming came to the realization very quickly. The data that he queried here should be similar to a content management system. This was consolidated data!

This was the database!

Seemingly, these assassins could not enter the World of Darkness and Shadows!

Only their agents could enter this place.

These agents would then publish or hand over the missions. This place was more akin to the alliance of all the assassin organizations or the master control center!

Lu Ming understood now.

If that was the case…

Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.

Using ‘Qing Ming City’ as the keyword in the search, he actually saw hundreds of messages and information.

Lu Ming was a little astonished.

Was this real?

Qing Ming City was such a small place and there were so many assassination missions?

Let me take a look.

Lu Ming took a glance and actually found a few familiar names.

Fan Eryan, Second-in-command of Sharks Sect, 1 Shadow Coin. (Completed, Waiting for Collection)

Bald-headed Qiang, Leader of Sharks Sect, 1 Shadow Coin (Completed, Waiting for Collection)

Tsk tsk…

The currency of this world was really valuable!

Forget about Fan Eryan but even the dignified leader of Sharks Sect, who was a three-star cultivator, was only worth one Shadow Coin! It went to show how valuable the Shadow Coin was!

The life of a three-star cultivator was only worth one Shadow Coin!

What the…

Lu Ming was filled with emotions.

It was just that…

When he continued reading the next few pages, he was suddenly stunned. Beside those two morons, he actually saw another familiar name in the list.

Jiang Feng, 100 Hundred Shadow Coins (Warning: This assassination mission has failed 62 times. The 63th time is in progress… )

Lu Ming froze a little.

Jiang Feng?!

Wasn’t that the principal?

Wait a minute…

What did they mean by sixty three times?

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

He took a closer look at this mission. There was actually a history log.

——

Jiang Feng, 1 Shadow Coin, First Assassination Failed

Jiang Feng, 1 Shadow Coin, Second Assassination Failed

Warning.

The 11th assassination also failed. The mission is closed for the time being. We have already contacted the publisher to increase the price. Otherwise, the mission will be closed.

The reward has been increased. There was a price increase!

Jiang Feng, 10 Shadow Coins, Mission Republished.

First Assassination Failed.

Second Assassination Failed.

50th Assassination Failed.

Warning.

The 50th assassination has also failed. The mission is closed for the time being. We have already contacted the publisher to increase the price. Otherwise, the mission will be terminated.

The reward has been increased. There was a price increase!

Jiang Feng, 100 Shadow Coins, Mission Republished.

First Assassination Failed.

Second Assassination Is In Progress.

——

“This is…”

Lu Ming was stupefied.

This was the principal?

Right?

He glanced at the information.

Well…

Identity: Four-star Card Creator!

He was right!

This was principal!

It was normal for a three-star cultivator to command one Shadow Coin and a four-star Card Creator to command one Shadow Coin. After all, it was easy to assassinate a Card Creator!

However, the later developments were a little uncanny.

Especially—

Sixty three missions were executed and all of them were flops!

Lu Ming looked at the mission timings. The assassinations targeted at Jiang Feng had been ongoing for many years.

It began as early as ten years ago. When the mission had just been published, many people accepted it. Thereafter, the numbers gradually decreased due to them not meeting the ability requirements.

When the mission was republished again, the reward increased greatly and a batch of people took up the mission again.

Afterward…

Gradually…

Fewer and fewer people dared to accept this mission in the recent years.

The assassination efficiency rate reduced.

It was only until the recent period when the mission was about to close when the publisher increased the price of the mission again. He increased it to one hundred Shadow Coins!

Afterward…

A new assassin appeared!

He seemed to be more powerful than the ones before!

An assassin who dared to accept a one hundred Shadow Coin mission, how could he be an ordinary person?

However…

Even so, the first assassination also failed!

This led to the situation of a bright red warning tag on Jiang Feng’s mission to alert those who wanted to accept the mission.

This was amazing!

What else could Lu Ming say?

Look, this was a living legend!

Speaking of this, what kind of hatred did this person have to chase after him for so many years?

Lu Ming could not imagine it.

It was just that…

This timing…

Lu Ming took a closer look at the timing of the last assassination after the increase in the Shadow Coin reward.

Oh.

It was coincidentally the time when Jiang Feng gave Xiaobai to him.

Fine.

He understood everything now.

He was afraid of implicating Xiaobai?

Lu Ming rubbed his head. It was no wonder Jiang Feng, who had always doted on his daughter, was also beginning to stop answering calls.

He hoped that he could continue to create legends.

Suddenly…

The world before him started to shake.

Am I going back?

Lu Ming felt a little regretful.

There were too many things that he wanted to find out.

It was a pity…

Given his current state, he was akin to a novice visiting HashToken Digital Exchange for the first time. He did not have a login account and could not see most of the sites. He could only browse the free content.

Buzz—

Lights flashed.

He was back.
