The drunkard looked back at the trash can again. "The god remains have been collected by the cleaners. Don't the cleaners usually collect the trash at midnight?"
"Could it be that I've been drinking with Bru for a long time? For such a long time, we only finished four or five bottles of wine?!"
He scratched his head dejectedly and muttered to himself, "I'm getting old. My alcohol tolerance is getting worse... Just two bottles of wine and I've been drunk for so long. I should drink less in the future... to avoid... avoid affecting my god - hunting..."
After saying that, he staggered away.
Qin Siyang didn't hesitate at all and couldn't think too much. He just ran tirelessly in the small alley.
The alley was dark and deserted, allowing him to escape at full speed.
When the alley ended and he got back to the main road, he continued to act like an ordinary passer - by, walking quickly with his head down, and then looked for an opportunity to enter another small alley. This escape strategy worked well for him all the way, and no one noticed this shabbily - dressed teenager.
Maybe it was the promotion of his sequence that filled his body with energy again. The previous fatigue was completely gone, and his muscles were even more energetic when he moved.
"I've been running away for almost twenty minutes and passed by a bus stop, but no one is still chasing me."
Qin Siyang remained extremely vigilant. His heart was pounding, and the blood kept rushing to his head, stimulating him to stay highly focused at all times.
He scanned the surroundings with his peripheral vision and also paid attention to the footsteps behind him, afraid of being discovered.
"Damn it! If that drunkard hadn't showed up, I could have finished all of them! It was just a little bit left!"
Thinking of the drunkard, Qin Siyang felt a bit resentful but also a bit relieved.
The man was so drunk that he could hardly walk steadily. He took two steps forward and then one step back, and had to lean on the wall.
It was likely that he couldn't even see clearly, and his mind was in a daze.
If the person who saw him at that time hadn't been drunk, they would probably have noticed something wrong right away and reported it to the United Government.
Then he might have been caught by now!
It was really the heavens protecting him.
"If I'm caught with this schoolbag full of god remains, I won't be able to explain myself."
Even if he didn't have the remains in his schoolbag, he would still be within the suspect range and it would be hard for him to escape. Moreover, there were more than a dozen god remains in his schoolbag.
The reason he took these remains was that he could already foresee that after tonight, the chance of getting god remains from the trash cans would basically be gone.
The theft of god remains isn't a very serious matter because these remains are useless.
Qin Siyang saw on the Internet café last time that "people can't digest god remains. They can only vomit them out intact or excrete them in the feces."
No one would take the useless god remains.
Although the god remains are useless, the disappearance of them is very strange.
Since they are useless, why are they stolen? Is there some conspiracy behind it?
The consecutive disappearance of god remains from two trash cans in two days will definitely attract a lot of attention.
The police must have noticed.
Qin Siyang stole from the trash cans for two consecutive days because he wanted to become stronger in the shortest time possible. If it were someone else, they might take it step by step, get the remains at intervals, and wouldn't take them all at once.
But Qin Siyang learned his lesson from the "step - by - step" approach in his previous life.
He thought that in his job, he could gradually accumulate experience, grow step by step, and then get promoted and a raise. But he never got the chance to be promoted before he died.
This made him realize that the slow - paced plan is suitable for capitalists with a certain foundation, not for a poor guy like him. "Seeking quick success" is the best way for a low - level worker to turn things around.
Because his ability to resist changes is too weak. Even a slight change can crush him.
What if the United Government assigns guards to every trash can in the future? How should he deal with it? Should he hide for the rest of his life? He doesn't know when the next opportunity will come.
After being reborn, he doesn't want to wait silently anymore. If he can do it today, he will never put it off until tomorrow.
It's better to do it early than late. Delaying may lead to changes.
It's foreseeable that it's very likely that Qin Siyang will expose himself if he tries to get god remains from the trash cans again.
Since this is the last time and the person who saw him was a slow - reacting drunkard, of course he should take as many as possible.
To put it another way, whether he takes these god remains or not, once he is caught by the United Government, it will be very difficult for him to escape.
The bold will thrive, while the timid will starve!
Seeing that there was a little blood seeping through the schoolbag, Qin Siyang hugged the schoolbag in his arms and then rushed back into the alley.
In the alley, unlike on the main road where there was a dim street lamp at intervals, it was completely dark.
The only light came from the starlight in the sky, shining through the air - raid glass on top of the safe zone.
With his improved physical fitness, Qin Siyang could see the road in the dark alley clearly.
The dark environment happened to be his advantage, as it could hide his face. Even if there were people around, he could run past without any worry of being exposed.
Let's just run all the way back home!
However, just as he turned into a dark alley, something unexpected happened.
A small knife flew from the corner, aiming straight at his right eye.
What's going on?!
His agility far exceeded that of ordinary people. The moment he saw the knife, he immediately dodged.
The knife fell to the ground, hitting the stone slabs in the alley and making a crisp sound.
Qin Siyang's eyes locked on three figures beside the road.
The three of them had messy long hair and were looking at him mockingly.
"Unexpectedly, even when sleeping here, we can have a fat sheep come by on its own."
"We three brothers are really lucky!"
The three of them stood up and surrounded Qin Siyang.
Qin Siyang asked coldly, "What do you want?"
"What? Do you still need to ask? Of course, it's a robbery."
Robbery?
Couldn't these people see that his coat was shabby? What's the use of robbing a poor boy like him?
"I have no money," Qin Siyang frowned, feeling anxious about the passing of time.
He didn't have time to argue with these three people here.
The disappearance of the god remains from the trash can could be exposed at any time. He had to get as far away from Exit [X4] as possible.
This place was only two stops away from there, and it was still far from a safe area.
Moreover, he was still holding a schoolbag full of god remains!
At this time, one of them pushed back his greasy bangs and showed a malicious smile. "It's okay if you have no money. Just leave the schoolbag behind."
These three people had their eyes on his schoolbag?!
Qin Siyang glanced at the schoolbag in his arms and covered the area where the blood was seeping out. He thought to himself that things were going badly.
"There isn't anything valuable in this schoolbag, but I can't give it to you."
"Nothing valuable? Then let's have a look inside!"
Qin Siyang looked at the three homeless robbers and wasn't panicked at all.
They were just ordinary people. If he wanted to escape, they definitely couldn't stop him.
While he was thinking about which direction to break through and leave, one of them said mockingly again,
"You, boy, were running so fast in this alley as if you were running for your life. Is there something shameful in the bag? Well, we're not greedy. You can keep a quarter of it for yourself, and give the remaining three - quarters to us three brothers. We'll help you keep the secret. How about it?"
Another one chimed in, "That's right. Leave the stuff behind, and we three can pretend we haven't seen you. Otherwise, you'll have a good beating. Even if you can run away, we three can go to the police station and report you! When you turned in here just now, the street lamp illuminated your face, and we've already remembered it!"
Hearing this, Qin Siyang stopped his feet that were about to run away.
These three people had seen him, so there was a risk of his exposure.
If they really went to the police station to report him, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?
Suddenly, a killing intent rose in his heart.
The fierce look in his eyes was immediately noticed by the experienced gangsters who had been living in the gray area for many years.
"Boss, this boy's eyes look like he wants to kill someone!"
"Kill someone? Heh, just a poor boy like him? Since he has the intention to kill, it means the treasure in the bag is extremely valuable! Then let's kill him and take the fortune in the bag for ourselves!"
Saying that, the three of them took out a knife each and stabbed at Qin Siyang one after another.
Qin Siyang had never killed anyone before. Just now, it was just a passing thought.
For Qin Siyang, who had lived an ordinary life in a civilized society all his life, killing someone wasn't an easy thing.
Originally, he couldn't make up his mind to kill. Now, he was just forced into a corner by the three gangsters.
"If it's God's will for you to die, then don't blame me."
"You're quite arrogant, boy! Kill him!"
The three of them thought that Qin Siyang had nowhere to hide and would surely be stabbed through by their knives. They were already feeling smug.
However, their attacking postures seemed as weak as those of three - year - olds in his eyes.
Qin Siyang threw a straight punch at the face of the person closest to him.
When his fist touched the person's nose, he clearly felt the vibration of the crisp bone - breaking sound.
However, the sound of the bone - breaking didn't stop. The person's face kept caving in along with his fist, and the vibration of the bone - breaking kept ringing.
Finally, blood squeezed out from his sunken nose and mouth.
"Thud!"
The person was punched by Qin Siyang and flew off the ground. He flew backward for seven or eight meters before landing and then rolled on the stone slabs for a few steps before stopping.
Qin Siyang's sharp senses allowed him to clearly witness the whole process of his killing punch. His heart was also filled with excitement.
He had killed someone!
The face that was no longer recognizable was looking at Qin Siyang and the other two gangsters with a strange expression.
The two of them trembled with fear when they saw this scene. They immediately realized that they had provoked a sequence ability user!
But even though they were scared, they didn't back down.
They were both fugitives with murder on their hands. They clearly knew that at this point, it was a matter of life and death. Pleading for mercy was useless!
The only way to survive was to kill Qin Siyang!
The two of them rushed towards Qin Siyang more frantically, holding their knives to stab him to death.
Qin Siyang took a step back with his left leg and then swept his right leg out, kicking one of them in the waist.
There were more crisp bone - breaking sounds coming from his leg.
The man was folded in two at a strange angle and was swinging in the air along with Qin Siyang's leg.
When Qin Siyang retracted his leg, the man, who was broken in two and only connected by the skin, bumped into the last gangster who was about to kill Qin Siyang. The two of them rolled backward several times.
Qin Siyang didn't hesitate. He leaped forward and came to the dazed man. Then he raised his fist again.
"Spare my life! I'll give you all the money on me..."
At this point, the gangster's survival instinct made him choose to plead for mercy.
But Qin Siyang didn't give him a chance to continue speaking. This punch landed on his side face, shattering his skull.
"If I kill you, the money on you will still be mine."
After killing the three people in a row, the killing intent in Qin Siyang's heart gradually faded and was quickly replaced by an inexplicable emptiness.
He sighed dejectedly.
Unexpectedly, he had actually killed someone.
But this was for self - defense, and there was nothing to say.
Moreover, Qin Siyang always felt that killing these three people might not be the end but a beginning.
A beginning for him to get used to killing.
Qin Siyang silently encouraged himself in his heart to calm down his body that was trembling nervously because of killing.
After calming down, Qin Siyang didn't leave immediately. Because he remembered that some sequences in [Godslaying Camp] could read the last memories of the dead.
To avoid being exposed, he wrapped his fist with one of the man's clothes and smashed the heads of the three people to pieces.
He cleaned up the scene, carefully removed the bloodstains, took out all the money from their clothes, and stuffed the three bodies into a dark and abandoned warehouse.
He set a fire to burn the three bodies and also burned his blood - stained coat by the way.
He did this to prevent any sequence ability user from tracking him through the smell on the dead bodies.
Although he wasn't sure if there were sequence ability users who could track people by smell, he always felt it was very possible.
The reason he chose this warehouse was also to avoid being tracked by smell.
He found that the road in front of the warehouse was muddy with many different footprints, which meant many people had been here. This could confuse the smell.
To avoid leaving his own footprints on the muddy road, he carefully jumped on the gravel relying on his strength and agility without leaving any traces.
"I hope there won't be any problems."
Qin Siyang was worried that the fire would attract others' attention, so after confirming that the fire had engulfed the three bodies, he fled the scene at full speed.
This time, he ran with all his might, as if he had gone crazy.
If anyone saw him in this alley, they might think that what just passed by wasn't a person but a speeding car.
Qin Siyang ran continuously for more than half an hour before getting back to the main road again.
His heart was still a little excited because of his first killing.
But he was no longer panicked at all, and his eyes became more determined.
"I'm sorry for their deaths. That's all."
