Chapter 2514: Chapter 2504: You Must Die Today

The person called Sun Baxian was naturally outside, just passing by the Mercenary Guild and calling out. Then, the sound of a wooden stick tapping on the ground came from the doorway, and shortly after, the gate of the Mercenary Guild was opened.

“Excuse me, who wants a fortune told?”

On his eyes were a pair of untimely sunglasses, the type that supervising officers usually wear to prevent the souls of wronged criminals from clinging to them. But appearing on this old man’s face, they seemed a bit out of place.

Long Yan looked at Sun Baxian with a bit of confusion. At this time, Tian Luo Yi wasn’t pretending to be blind anymore and directly threw the wooden stick in his hand to the ground, which made Long Yan grit his teeth with irritation.

“This man is called Sun Baxian, and in the entire Small Town, he is known as one of the Three Wonders.”

Everyone’s gaze was attracted to Sun Baxian, and Chu Meng became even bolder, lightly scratching the palm of Long Yan’s hand, which the latter completely ignored.

“Oh? What are the Three Wonders of the Town?”

“The first wonder is the Cannibal Inn, but you’ve already dealt with it. The strange thing is that it eats people without leaving bones. The second wonder is Tenglong, a person who appeared mysteriously in the Mercenary Town, not an original resident of the Mercenary Town. But despite an ordinary appearance, strikes like lightning, unmatched in the whole Town.”

After saying this, Chu Meng thought carefully for a moment, then added.

“However, as he’s just a mercenary, he should be no match for you.”

After all, people like Chu Meng have seen what Long Yan’s ability is like. Long Yan merely nodded lightly, moving Chu Meng’s mischievous hand aside, but the latter didn’t mind at all and continued explaining things to Long Yan.

“This Sun Baxian is the third oddity, a blind man, but when he tells fortunes, he uses three copper coins, and what he predicts usually happens. However, none of the things he foresees have good outcomes, so he often gets beaten up, but being a blind man, no one hits too hard. Therefore, Sun Baxian doesn’t care and just wanders around the Small Town smiling, getting beaten almost every day.”

Chu Meng’s expression seemed like she wanted to laugh, but now Long Yan took another look at this Sun Baxian. The crowd probably thought there was something special about him, or that Sun Baxian was not ordinary.

This was Long Yan’s intuition, but if asked what exactly made Sun Baxian unusual, Long Yan couldn’t definitively say.

“Over here.”

At this moment, the burly man who initially called Sun Baxian in waved at him, indicating for Sun Baxian to come over. Long Yan furrowed his brows, as waving to a blind man was very impolite.

But in the next second, Long Yan felt like slapping himself. Sun Baxian actually looked around and wobbled his way over to the waving burly man.

Long Yan’s open-mouthed expression made Chu Meng burst into laughter, and as she laughed, she said.

“Though he is blind, he claims to have a pair of eyes in his heart, capable of knowing what’s happening outside. Initially, some doubted that he was pretending to be blind, but after removing his sunglasses, they found his eyes were dim and white, truly blind.”

After saying this, Chu Meng shivered as if recalling something terrifying.

Long Yan just nodded. It might also be that Sun Baxian had acute hearing and heard the wind when the burly man waved.

“What would you like to have foretold?”

Sun Baxian arrived in front of the burly man, pulled out a stool, and without hesitation, took an empty bowl, filled it with strong wine, and started eating the peanuts on the table.

“I want to ask if my next mission can be completed smoothly.”

The burly man looked at Sun Baxian with interest. It seemed he had only heard of Sun Baxian before and was seeing him today for the first time in the spirit of trying him out, placing a piece of patterned silver into Sun Baxian’s hand.

Sun Baxian touched the silver with his hand, smiled slightly, and with the other hand, took out three copper coins from his clothes.

They were just ordinary copper coins, though they looked a little old, with the patterns on them somewhat blurred, like antiques.

“Toss them.”

He uttered the simple words, and Sun Baxian drank deeply from his bowl of white wine. It’s known that the Mercenary Guild doesn’t have any soft wines like osmanthus wine. Most who come here are mercenaries, hearty folk, but Sun Baxian, despite his age, drank the entire bowl of strong wine in large swigs.

As Sun Baxian finished the bowl of wine, the three copper coins fell to the ground, spinning on the table. Usually, fortune-telling with copper coins depends on determining outcomes by their positions, but Sun Baxian simply placed the large bowl gently on the table.

The immense force from the bowl made the whole table shake, causing the three copper coins to fall straight on the table, and one of them even stood upright on the left side, which was rather bizarre.

Sun Baxian sighed, looked at the burly man’s face, and asked.

“What did you just ask?”

The burly man knew Sun Baxian was blind, but the sunglasses still made him feel guilty as he patiently replied to Sun Baxian.

“Can I succeed in my next mission?”

Sun Baxian first shook his head, then sighed, which made the burly man’s heart tighten. There was no helping it; this person’s reputation was too infamous, making him nervous. He had been drinking half-way, saw Sun Baxian at the door, and on a whim wanted to tease him a bit, but almost got bluffed himself.

“What’s the matter?”

Sun Baxian waved his hand nonchalantly, tucking the piece of patterned silver into his clothes with an expression of impending martyrdom, and told the burly man.

“You will die at three-thirty in the afternoon on the twenty-eighth of August, so there won’t be a next mission.”

“What???

The burly man’s voice nearly made the entire Mercenary Guild tremble. No one would have a pleasant voice hearing about their imminent death from a fortune-teller.

“What’s the date today?”

The burly man asked his friend nearby, only to see his friend’s hand holding a sea bowl trembling continuously.

“The twenty-eighth of August…”

His friend’s voice was trembling a bit, and the bowl that was full was now half-spilled with fright.

“What’s the time now?”

“Three-thirty in the afternoon!”

The burly man fell silent, asking Sun Baxian.

“Are you talking nonsense?”

Before Sun Baxian could answer, the burly man muttered to himself, saying things like it couldn’t be possible, clearly frightened. Just as Sun Baxian was about to speak, he saw the burly man grab Sun Baxian’s collar with one hand, lifting him into the air.

“You must be talking nonsense.”

The burly man roared, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, clearly terrified.

“I’ll beat you to death, you bullshit spouting bastard.”

Then the burly man raised his fist at Sun Baxian. Long Yan was just about to stand up when a loud voice came from the city center.

“Third quarter of the ‘Shen’ Hour!”

Long Yan sharply noticed the creaking sound from the wooden plank above the burly man’s head.
