The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 417 - 240: Paperman Version of Arkham Asylum
Chapter 417: Chapter 240: Paperman Version of Arkham Asylum”The new world’s god...” Jiang Shu looked at the Red Clo in front of him, who clearly had the fervent expression of a fanatical follower, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Here we go again, babbling about gods.

Not one of these Clos ever gave him peace of mind.

Jiang Shu sighed internally; he didn’t respond immediately but instead looked out the window behind Red Clo.

The sunset had passed, and from this skyscraper, the sun had already disappeared at the horizon’s end, but due to the scattering of light, there was still a trace of sunlight shining from there.

Only, those weakened rays of sunlight, once they entered the Lonely City’s Fifth District, had all their colors stolen away by the district’s colorful night lights.

Wait, sunlight?

Jiang Shu suddenly took note of this.

So he looked intently once more into the distance—there was no sign of the sun on the horizon, but his memories indeed contained the real existence of such a thing as the sun.

Only...

Hadn’t the new Black Wall risen and enshrouded the entire Fifth District? Why was there still sunlight in the Lonely City?

”What are you looking at? Hey! I’m discussing something very important here.” Red Clo found it strange that someone could be distracted while he was expounding such lofty ideals. He even casually turned around to look, not fearing a sneak attack from Jiang Shu.

”After the new Black Wall has risen, why is there still sunlight?” Jiang Shu asked.

”Are you sure you want to waste time on such a boring question?” Red Clo glanced at the time, ”We only have about five minutes to chat here, can you ask something more meaningful? Like what exactly Tang wants to do, the relationship between me and that Clo, how exactly the new Black Wall can be shut down, or how many troops they’ve sent after your family members, and so on.”

”Against... their target is Liu Tingruo and the others?” Jiang Shu’s brows locked tight; he glanced at Xiao Yi, who immediately understood and began to contact Liu Tingruo.

”I don’t know, I’m guessing.” Red Clo replied with a straight face, his serious look making Jiang Shu want to smack him.

Then he glanced at the time again, ”You have three minutes and thirty seconds left.”

”How can the new Black Wall be shut down?” So Jiang Shu changed the question, and as he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Yi’s screen, which displayed Liu Tingruo’s response.

All is well, don’t worry.

But Xiao Jia also thoughtfully attached Liu Tingruo’s true inner thoughts.

Dog Tang Xi, just know to go find Clo, better not come back if you have the guts.

Jiang Shu: ”...”

I like women who are one way on the surface, and another way at heart.

”I don’t know.” Red Clo shook his head again, ”Tang is very careful; I’ve tried my best to find out, but there’s nothing interesting.”

”You don’t know... so what use are you?” Jiang Shu was baffled; Red Clo had offered four questions, one he didn’t know, one he made up, one that Jiang Shu already knew, leaving only the relationship with Black Clo...

What would knowing that do for him?

Write an ode to a tangle of love and hate?

”Don’t mind so much.” Red Clo laughed, ”Don’t you want to hear about the new world?”

”... Fine.” By now Jiang Shu had figured out that what he could listen to wasn’t what he wanted to hear, but what Red Clo wanted to tell.

Very well.

”I haven’t really thought about that either.” And who knew, Red Clo was bluffing Jiang Shu with that too, but he still shamelessly continued, ”But you have to believe me, I once assisted that Clo.”

”And then you assisted him to death?” Jiang Shu sneered, but his brain started to work.

It seemed that the two Clos had a good relationship?

That would make sense; after all, in the Special Prison, they took turns appearing. If it was all Black Clo’s show, then Red Clo shouldn’t even have the chance to appear.

”Then I’ll try assisting Tang, see if I can kill him off sooner.” Red Clo replied quite seriously.

”There are three minutes left, what exactly do you want to say?” And Jiang Shu also glanced at the time, his patience was almost worn thin.

This building wasn’t safe; it wasn’t just the police station’s people here, those black-clothed Hunters could also be lurking around. It was simply not a good place to have a leisurely chat with Red Clo.

”Let’s deal with this Tang business first,” Red Clo said cheerfully, ”Anyway, you have to trust me, there’s no one in this world more infatuated with Black Clo than me...”

Yi: Are you just narcissistic?

Red Clo did not look down at the Tablet Spirit Xiao Yi’s screen; he just leisurely continued, ”Anyway, I’ll help you with everything, I’ll help you completely eliminate the threat of the Main Brain.”

His following words were spoken so softly, as ethereal as if they were from the edge of the sky, yet they still floated effortlessly into Jiang Shu’s ears.

”Bang—” A sudden attack disrupted the tranquility, the room’s door was violently smashed open, three men in black uniforms rushed in. At the sight of Jiang Shu and Red Clo, there was a faint flash of blue light in their eyes, and their movements were slightly sluggish, but they quickly raised their guns at the two.

”I surrender, I’ve held up Jiang Shu for you! Capturing Jiang Shu is a meritorious act! I have merit, I have merit!” Upon seeing the three Hunters, Red Clo immediately raised his hands to surrender, looking every bit the traitor.
