Li Yelai was somewhat puzzled, “So it’s no longer the case?”

Cheese nodded silently but did not continue.

…

Some time later, after Li Yelai made sure his curse had ceased, he walked away from the scene and returned to his apartment.

Only after making sure there were no traces of blood or wounds on him did he enter his home.

After bantering and clowning around with Li Yunyan, he fell into a deep sleep.

Indeed, he once again saw those bizarre lights and shadows and the thick fog.

The environment was unchanged, and the tentacle holding a mask was already in front of Li Yelai.

And that ugly-looking Void Realm creature was indeed in the dream.

At that moment, the monster, without any of its previous bravado and terror, was trembling, kneeling on both knees, bowing repeatedly to Li Yelai, its face full of fright and begging.

Was it…

afraid of him?

Or was it afraid of Black Shadow?

Just what was the identity of Black Shadow?

Seeing the monster’s expression, Li Yelai was indeed a bit surprised, but that was all.

Such a creature was an enemy of humanity, and there was nothing to pity!

In the next instant, the tentacle that had been missing for so long extended from the mist, dragging the Void Realm creature, screaming, into the depths of the mist.

Then followed a series of hair-raising chewing sounds.

But this time, Black Shadow did not offer the white mask.

Was the offering insufficient?

Or had the demands for the offering increased?

Li Yelai pondered, still not reaching for the white mask.

Instead, he looked into the depths of the mist and called out, “Mr.

Shadow, is he thoroughly dead?

Make sure to eat him up!”

From within the mist, Black Shadow paid no attention.

Li Yelai continued to shout, “What sort of secret signal should I use when I want to trade with you next time?”

Black Shadow still ignored him.

“How about ‘abracadabra’?”

Black Shadow waved his hand and directly thrust Li Yelai out of the dream.

Li Yelai couldn’t help but complain that treating a customer this way sure showed quite a temper!

The next day, Li Yelai returned to work at the antique shop.

Along the way, he secretly practiced Aerial Stepping.

When there were no official duties, the authorities didn’t require patrols and didn’t care about what Processors did in their private lives.

It seemed they wanted Processors to remain hidden among the ordinary folk.

That was normal, too.

With tens of millions of people in Boundary City, even if all the Processors patrolled, they wouldn’t cover much ground.

Therefore, Processors had varying identities.

Some were teachers, others were university students, and some were office workers, and so on.

Coupled with the secret agreement, they were unaware of each other if they hadn’t met.

Even if they bumped into one another, they wouldn’t know they were colleagues.

And while Li Yelai was pondering whether any past customers might be his colleagues,

his official Communicator on his arm beeped.

He discreetly tapped it to take a look while no one was around.

He discovered two messages from the authorities addressed to him.

[Mr.

Li Yelai, thank you for your contribution during the mission.

You have been awarded a reward of 20,000 Giant City Coins and have earned 20 Merit Points.

You currently have 30 Merit Points.]

Li Yelai’s eyebrows danced with delight, 20,000 Giant City Coins!

Another step towards 1/40!

And 30 Merit Points were actually quite a lot, enough for the current Li Yelai to outfit himself with equipment or a piece of Spiritual Ability Equipment.

If necessary, he could even sell them for cash to his colleagues.

Of course, Li Yelai wasn’t considering this.

His goal was to save up to buy an item to suppress the curse, and since he didn’t even know the price yet, how could he spend his contribution points?

Following that, Li Yelai opened the second message.

[You have completed all basic training and received an excellent assessment from your instructor.

You are now officially a Processor.]

[Your code name: Night General]

[You have been granted access to the Disaster Handler Forum]

[Processor Cheese invites you to join the group chat.]
