Chapter 1092: Chapter 512: Pain? Or Not? (Part 2)

20:23.

“All good now?” At this moment, Wei Liang’s voice came from beside him.

Lin Yi found it miraculous that when Wei Shan was supporting him earlier, Wei Liang, who had been by his side, seemed to have moved aside, but he had no idea where Wei Liang went.

If it weren’t for Wei Liang speaking now, he would have almost forgotten about Wei Liang’s presence.

“All good. No, actually, there’s one more thing…” Lin Yi said, displaying a magical expression, “Truly, Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial, you’re a wake-up call! What would I do without you, Liangzi!”

“Get lost!” Wei Liang looked displeased, “The longer you stay here, the longer I’ll go without! It’s good now, right? If it’s all good, let’s hurry on our way then!”

“Hey, traveling in this situation feels like a journey to the Western Heaven! This sinister wind and rain and fog are getting worse…”

As Wei Liang mumbled, he hurried on under Wei Shan’s umbrella.

“Wait a bit; we still need to deal with a small problem.” Lin Yi said, looking down at his feet.

The sneering angel’s arms were all severed, but each one clung tightly to his leg. If he walked like this, his stamina would be greatly drained.

“Wei Sang, can you see them now?” Lin Yi pointed at the severed arms and asked.

Wei Shan nodded, “I can see them now. I’ll help you remove them.”

“Alright.” Lin Yi nodded.

So Wei Shan bent down, pressing one of Lin Yi’s legs with one hand, grabbing a severed arm with the other hand.

“Bear with it.”

“Alright… wait, bear with what? Ow—ooh~”

With a burst of force, Wei Shan pulled the sneering angel’s claw-like hands off Lin Yi’s leg. Lin Yi’s leg had large chunks of flesh torn off, and the bone, which seemed to be cast of gold, shimmered with an enchanting light in the dim sky…

But Lin Yi was excruciatingly grimacing from the pain.

Before he could say anything, Wei Shan pried all the sneering angel’s severed arms off his leg quickly.

“Hiss, ha… hiss, ha…” Lin Yi’s mouth trembled from the pain.

“Does it hurt?” Wei Shan asked blankly, noticing Lin Yi was almost in tears.

“Obviously! How could it not hurt?” Lin Yi wiped his tears, but then suddenly paused, that’s right… why does it hurt so much?

I was just a skeleton back then, didn’t feel much pain, why does a ‘superficial wound’ hurt so much now?

As he thought of this, suddenly he didn’t feel the pain anymore, it seemed like “pain” was merely a “cognitive feedback” for him, “looking painful” makes it “feel painful”.

He looked at his bare leg, flesh regenerated in front of his eyes like nanotechnology, and soon his calf was restored to its original state.

He moved a bit, the newly regenerated muscle seemed even more robust and powerful than before.

Wei Shan handed the umbrella to Lin Yi, gesturing to the sneering angel’s severed arms on the ground, “Old Lin, hold this umbrella for me while I tidy things up.”

“What’s there to tidy up with those things?” Lin Yi asked puzzled, but naturally took the umbrella handle anyway.

“They can come in handy.” Wei Shan said as he bent down to pick up each of the sneering angel’s severed arms, bundling them like firewood cut from the mountains, then carrying them on his back.

Watching Wei Shan’s skilled movements, Lin Yi suddenly felt the umbrella handle in his hand soften.

He looked curiously at the umbrella, and then discovered that the whole umbrella was twisted together with some kind of eerie fibers. He looked further up at the umbrella surface.

The inside surface of the umbrella had countless faces staring twistedly at him.

Each face wore a pained expression, like a ghost crawling out from purgatory, exuding an evil aura. When they made eye contact with Lin Yi, they wished to break free from the umbrella’s frame and pounce on him.

While Lin Yi was captivated by the umbrella surface, Wei Shan’s hand reached for the umbrella shaft.

“Alright, we can move on now.” Wei Shan said slowly.

Lin Yi snapped back to reality, quickly looked at the umbrella shaft again but found nothing wrong with it, and the umbrella surface too seemed ordinary again.

“Wei Sang, this umbrella…?”

Wei Shan explained again, “I borrowed it from another classmate.”

Lin Yi pursed his lips, his intuition told him that this umbrella… was likely handcrafted by Wei Sang himself.

Before long, they passed some street lamp poles, suddenly, Wei Liang pointed ahead exclaiming, “Whoa, Old Lin, look, what the heck is that up ahead?”

Where Wei Liang pointed was right where they were heading next. Upon hearing this, Lin Yi looked over and saw a crowd, like an old-time street performance gathering.

But that was only the initial scene, after focusing, Lin Yi noticed that those people gathered together were very strange, twisting and undulating in the rain and fog, like layers of seaweed…

“Could that be the Graveyard of the Deceased?” A thought immediately popped into Lin Yi’s mind.

The Graveyard of the Deceased he encountered was always facing forward; if what he saw now was its backside, it could also make sense.

Seeing from afar, the Graveyard of the Deceased is like a pangolin, with each humanoid tombstone like a scale, having different rhythmic breathing yet maintaining a consistent beat in a larger scale.

“What do we do, Old Lin?” Wei Liang shivered.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but say, “You’re asking me now? I’d like to ask you, Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial, do you think it’s so hard for us to get through?”

Wei Liang whispered, “Can we circumnavigate it?”

Lin Yi observed immediately, theoretically, the street lamp poles in abnormal weather formed a straight line, if they avoided it, they could easily lose their way, but now, they had no choice but to consider bypassing the Graveyard of the Deceased.

“Theoretically, no, but we can try…?”

“No use trying, we have to push through.” However, this time, Wei Shan directly denied Lin Yi’s suggestion and provided a solution, “At most… we attempt to skirt around the perimeter of the light, making sure not to disturb them.”

“But even if we disturb them, it’s not a big deal.”

Lin Yi tilted his head in confusion, “?”

What does…”disturbing them is not a big deal” mean?

“I know what those things are, and I know what they’re surrounding…” Wei Shan said, lifting the bundle made of sneering angel’s severed arms in front of him, “It might have been tricky before, but now it’s much easier to handle.”

“What do you mean, wait, are you saying…” Lin Yi suddenly realized, “Is that place being surrounded, could it be Lu Zhao and them?”

Wei Shan nodded slightly, “Exactly, after they couldn’t get out of the classroom, those filthy things, what Old Lin referred to as the Graveyard of the Deceased, followed them.”

“I sensed we might run into them, and indeed, here we are.”

“But it’s okay, the grades of the Angel Sculptures are the same; we can use the sneering angel’s parts to deal with the Graveyard of the Deceased…”

“Of course, just doing this isn’t enough; these severed arms need some simple processing.”

As Wei Shan spoke, he started manipulating those severed arms.

Lin Yi watched in amazement as the ordinarily clumsy Wei Shan became so nimble, like a high-efficiency handler of issues akin to Hong Jbao, and couldn’t help but wonder, “Wei Sang, how do you know all this?”

Wei Shan’s movements paused slightly and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Young Master Tian told me all this.”

“Young Master Tian…? Hiss…” Lin Yi’s brow twitched slightly, well, Wei Sang, didn’t expect someone with thick eyebrows to start shifting responsibility too.

“What did Young Master Tian say?” he then asked.

Wei Shan said, “He just mentioned the sneering angel could be used for self-defense…”

“That’s all he said?”

“That’s all I remember.” Wei Shan replied honestly.

Was it “all I remember” or “only need this now”? Lin Yi was skeptical but didn’t delve further, instead focusing all his attention on Wei Shan’s actions.
