Chapter 381: Chapter 226: Look What We Found... A Wild Magician?!_2”Correct,” Jiang Shu nodded and began his smooth talk, ”You must have realized by now that you are a dead man, and I can grant you new life.”

”Indeed, I am dead,” Tang looked at his hands, trying to pinch them. He still felt pain and then retorted, ”So, what’s the price?”

”Allegiance to me,” Jiang Shu said indifferently.

”Oh? I doubt the fox would agree, right?” Tang also replied with a light smile, having regained his calm and reason from his initial surprise.

”You and he don’t need to appear at the same time,” Jiang Shu answered without hesitation.

”Then, what shall I use to prove my allegiance to you?” Tang continued to ask, but there were no longer any superfluous emotions visible on his face.

That ordinary face once again took on a lifeless, dreary color, just like when Jiang Shu used to see him.

”Tell me the secrets of the new Black Wall, and how to open it,” Jiang Shu continued, ”Let the forces you previously cultivated be destroyed by the Three Major Groups outside of the Fifth District. Only in this way might they give up the relentless pursuit of you.”

”That sounds reasonable,” Tang nodded, and then the conversation took a sharp turn, ”But I refuse.”

”Do you want to die?” Jiang Shu frowned and asked in a deep voice.

”Yes, at least this body doesn’t want to live,” Tang lifted his hand and then tapped it, ”You’ve misjudged one thing, and that is I was already resurrected a long time ago.”

Jiang Shu’s pupils immediately constricted.

”I am aware of how it feels to be in a spiritual body, and it’s similar to now but not the same,” Tang started to smile, ”If I’m not mistaken, this is just part of my spiritual body, right? Although it’s a pity to lose it like this, it only takes a few days to recover to the point where I can be resurrected.”

Jiang Shu remained silent, saying nothing.

”So,” Tang looked around, ”you have obtained my corpse? Were you also around at that time?”

His face carried an expression that stirred emotions, ”Now, I am separated from my actual body, so ’I’ wouldn’t know what you’ve said here. Perhaps you can engage in an information exchange with me, how about that?”

”Sure,” Jiang Shu just smiled, readily agreeing, and he asked the first question, ”I want to know, what exactly are you trying to do with all this? Become the Vassal King of the Fifth District?”

”No, no, no,” Tang shook his head, ”If all I was doing this for was power, my methods would be more aggressive. More threatening individuals would have died without understanding why.”

He went on to say, as his facial features flickered in and out of visibility with the flickering flames around him, ”I merely want to build a nation of my dreams.”

Another rant that seemed almost delirious.

Jiang Shu furrowed his brows, ”How do you plan to do that?”

He didn’t ask what this guy’s dream nation was supposed to look like because it was insignificant to him; he only cared about how Tang intended to achieve his goal.

Every villain capable of great feats should have a past filled with disappointments, a logically consistent worldview, and a grand objective, and Jiang Shu didn’t have time to pay attention to their tragic histories.

”This is the second question,” Tang looked at Jiang Shu and replied with a smile, ”Now, it’s my turn to ask...”

But Jiang Shu didn’t give Tang the time to finish asking the question. He snapped his fingers, releasing the Paperman Control Technique, and this version of Tang naturally dissipated without a trace.

He let out a cold laugh and opened his eyes.

A joke, to think I’d let you pry information from me?

What if you had a way to pass information to the main body?

Moreover, more crucially, he had already obtained the information he wanted; there was no need to know the rest.

Tang had unwittingly revealed quite a bit of information, and the most critical bit was.

This guy has now lost part of his spiritual body and needed some time to resurrect himself fully; from Tang’s perspective, this was information that could give Jiang Shu a sense of deterrence and urgency, and even be used to elicit words from Jiang Shu. But from Jiang Shu’s perspective...

Wasn’t this just a reminder to Jiang Shu that I need time before I can be resurrected?

During this time, Jiang Shu could confidently complete his Resurrection Magic and then resurrect Tang for a decisive blow after the magic was complete.

”Just now, a small portion of spiritual body energy appeared on this Paperman,” Shu Bao opened his mouth to speak, looking at Jiang Shu with some puzzlement, ”Is this... due to your special term?”

”Probably,” Jiang Shu nodded, not elaborating on the matter, and thanked Shu Bao, ”Thank you, I have obtained the information I wanted.”

Then he stood up and said to the remaining three Tablet Spirits, ”Let’s go, I’m going out for a bit. I’ll look for a suitable target for the magic, and by the way, I’ll fish out little Ding.”

A: ”By the way,”

B: The Ding Protection Association objects!

Three days have passed since the rise of the new Black Wall.

Koichi Kojima wandered on the streets, looking at the B District streets that hadn’t changed much, feeling slightly dazed.

”Kojima, have you lost your mind? If you’re filming social news, you should be in DEF District, what could happen in B District?” The photographer Ooishi turned off the camera behind him, asking rather helplessly.
