Chapter 343: Chapter 330 Between Life and Death

So, with that said, it’s easy to explain. Xiao Nan conjured up some ropes, tied them around the iron box, and then Jingjing hauled it up. As for why Jingjing didn’t just carry the box straight to the rooftop... well... let’s not mention that she’s not even half as tall as the box, and that turning corners in the elevator could easily lead to getting stuck. Just consider her, a young girl in her teens, dressed in a maid outfit, lugging a two-meter-long steel coffin around. If the surveillance cameras caught that... you wouldn’t want to make a big deal out of it, would you?

So, what exactly do they intend to do on the rooftop?

It’s quite easy to guess, right? Since high-tech couldn’t save Bai Xiong, they had to seek help from some supernatural items with anomalies.

For example, some badass items that can heal life and even regenerate flesh and limbs under any conditions... Mm... Right, we’re talking about the "Nurse"!

The moment Chen Xiao cut her throat, this carefree woman spilled all her abilities. Chen Xiao summarized them simply as "Blood Lock". (No matter how severe the injury is, once hit points drop to 1, invincibility automatically kicks in like a cheat code.)

At this moment, it seems that she is the only one who could save Bai Xiong.

At the time, in the Mother Nest, Chen Xiao really hadn’t expected that Bai Xiong would end up like this just a few minutes after leaving the shielded area. Maybe not even Bai Xiong himself thought it would be this serious, as he had never taken off the necklace.

As for why? We’ll talk about that later because right now, what’s more important is that Chen Xiao has already opened the iron box.

Inside the box, Bai Xiong lay quietly, but his skin had completely disappeared, revealing the vivid red muscle lines beneath, like those horrifying human specimens on dissection charts. In fact, if it hadn’t been for the necklace’s isolation, Bai Xiong would no longer exist.

"Eh, what happened to this guy? Has he gone bonkers from cultivation?" Boss Xiao Yu leaned in for a look and then asked.

By now, he was pretty much immune to these scary and bizarre things.

"Ah, this fellow here, he’s about to decompose," Chen Xiao said casually.

"Decompose? What do you mean?"

"Hmm, to put it simply, it’s like all the cells in his body can’t stand each other, and so they decided it’s best not to stay together anymore, thus decomposing."

"Oh..." Xiao Yu nodded, "In this era, indeed, relationships are getting harder to manage."

At this point, Jingjing threw the ropes onto the ground, "Alright, what are we going to do with this guy after lifting him up here?"

"Ah! That, um... the truth is, we’re going to throw him down again," Chen Xiao said, scratching his head with some embarrassment.

"What?" Jingjing asked coldly, her voice not loud, but the atmosphere suddenly cooled, "So, you’re just messing with me?"

Chen Xiao quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, it’s like this, I need to find someone but I can’t contact them... but luckily, there’s a little devil among that group who’s good at divination."

"Good at divination?" Xiao Nan seemed suddenly interested, "Tarot cards?"

"Ah, something like that. Basically, the more people involved and the more thrilling the process, the more information it provides for his calculations. The moment he senses it, he’ll naturally send someone over."

"Hmm... It sounds a bit like ’if you do enough bad things, even the heavens will start keeping an eye on you’," Boss Xiao Yu made a slight jab.

"That’s the idea," Chen Xiao said carelessly, and then gestured, "Come on, everyone lend a hand, let’s push this guy off!"

And just like that, this group of eccentrics hidden within the city easily accepted Chen Xiao’s explanation and truly began helping to move a "muscle model" as sturdy as an ox to the edge of the rooftop.

I know this scene is quite peculiar... but try to accept it.

Suddenly, Boss Xiao Yu seemed to realize something, "Hey, wait a minute, isn’t this brother not dead yet? Why are we pushing him off? Isn’t that murder?"

Chen Xiao waved his hand nonchalantly, "Ah, no worries, those guys consider this person’s life extremely important. They wouldn’t let him die."

"Oh, okay then!" Xiao Yu believed him just like that... And then, with that momentum, he pushed Bai Xiong towards the edge of the rooftop...

With a "smack!" just as Bai Xiong’s center of gravity shifted beyond the rooftop, a figure suddenly appeared mid-air, suspended outside of the rooftop with a face full of shock, he magically popped Bai Xiong’s body back up, and then vanished again the second before he would have fallen.

Right after, a voice that had yet to calm down echoed from behind everyone.

"Huff huff— have you all gone mad?!" he shouted angrily.

The four people at the edge of the rooftop caught Bai Xiong who had fallen back.

"Come on, put him down, and be careful." Chen Xiao gave orders as if nothing had happened, and only then did he start to pay attention to the postman, "Ah, what could I do? This guy was about to die, if I didn’t make some noise, would you have come?"

"You made way too much noise, if I had arrived a bit later, he really would’ve fallen! Do you know what A-Ming looked like when he phoned me? He was almost in tears!"

"Ah, then there’s nothing I can do about that, is there? You guys are so cautious, you don’t even leave me a phone number. Besides, I’ve laid enough groundwork earlier, if A-Ming couldn’t figure this out, then I’d have to reevaluate your capabilities."

"Jerk!!" The postman ranted angrily, unable to come up with a retort at the moment.

At this time.

"Uh, mister, can you teleport?" Xiao Yu butted in from the side.

The postman eyed him suspiciously, "Who is this kid?"

"Oh, him? Your boss’s sweetheart..." Chen Xiao said offhandedly.

"What?"

"What?"

Xiao Yu and the postman exclaimed in unison.

"Ah, never mind these trivial matters." Chen Xiao shouted, "This guy is about to die, hurry it up."

The postman snapped to attention, quickly grabbed Chen Xiao with one hand, and with the other, rapidly seized Bai Xiong; he also spared a glance at the chubby figure nearby.

After that... they vanished in an instant.

Leaving behind only the three disheveled figures on the rooftop.

Shortly after.

"Hmm... this guy must also be an anomaly." Jingjing said, frowning slightly.

"Definitely, with instant teleportation, and the ability to carry touched objects, the level definitely won’t be low..." Xiao Nan mused in response, "But, what I’m more interested in is what he said, boss? ...Sweetheart?"

As they spoke, the two looked towards the portly figure in front of them; at the moment, Boss Xiao Yu still had a dumbfounded expression, obviously not having snapped back to reality yet.
