Chapter 118 A Plea for Help from Living Beings
After listening to the words of the man with the double iron fists, the 'Ancient Relic' power spirit found a high place nearby to sit down. While observing Liu Chun and his group's car stuck in the congested road, it took out the food it had just bought to eat, looking quite carefree.
Since he was a living being, he didn't need to worry about feeling cold or tired, nor did he want to sleep; he remained awake all night.
Meanwhile, in congested traffic sections.
"Brother Liu, I wonder if that 'ancient artifact' power entity is still nearby?" Pang Wenke, seeing that he couldn't find anything, quickly took off his binoculars and handed them to Liu Chun.
"They certainly won't leave us easily, but they can't attack us right now either... In any case, waiting until dawn tomorrow is one of the safest options, then we can leave."
"Okay!" Pang Wenke looked back and said, "I'll drive for now, and then Wei Xiong and Brother Zhang Man will take turns. We'll each take a turn, is that alright?"
Sitting in the back seat, Pang Weixiong and Brother Zhang Man nodded together: "We don't have any problems. We're all experienced drivers."
"Let's rest for now, and then we'll take turns driving."
The three of them didn't care what Liu Chun's arrangements were, but their safety tonight mainly depended on him, since he was the strongest person there.
But Liu Chun put down the binoculars and looked at Pang Wenke beside him: "You should take care of yourself for now. I'm going to get some sleep. I might wake up in a few hours. We'll talk about it later."
"Alright!"
Anyway, the enemy will definitely not make a move rashly now. Even if there are few people around in the middle of the night, Liu Chun will have woken up by then, so there won't be any problems.
Afterwards, Zhang Man and the others in the back seat also inquired and, after confirming that Pang Wenke would be alright, they were able to go to sleep without worry.
Because the car windows were covered by screens, the 'Ancient Artifact' spirit could only see that the driver, Pang Wenke, looked energetic. As for the others, they were all resting, so it couldn't see anything.
"These guys really know how to enjoy themselves! They even blocked out all the light from outside, honestly."
Seeing that he was the only one paying attention, and that the man with the iron fist had already left, the 'Ancient Relic' power-generating entity was immediately furious.
"Why did you have to get rid of that kid? Wouldn't it have been better if he were working with me now? Honestly, he never knows his own strength. Now look what happened, I can't get a good night's rest."
The 'Ancient Relic' power-wielding being sat on the rooftop, growing angrier the more he thought about it. Finally, he stood up and stared at Liu Chun and his group's car below: "I won't let these kids have it easy. I need to find something to disturb their rest."
Recalling the abilities he could still use after his body was affected, the 'Ancient Relic' power entity could only think of one solution.
He took out a bag from his person, took out the small snakes inside, and said with a slightly helpless expression, "These little snakes are all non-venomous. I used up all the venomous ones long ago. But they should be fine for disturbing Liu Chun and the others' rest. Whether they can help me find some amusement in this quiet night depends entirely on you."
He threw all the little snakes downstairs and carefully kissed the forehead of each one, so that the little snakes would do as they pleased.
"Liu Chun, Liu Chun, let me go first!"
Next, the 'Ancient Relic' power entity didn't just finish doing that; it took out some unidentified powdery substances from other pockets.
He put all the powdered substances into a small incense burner, lit it, and then placed it in front of him.
After sitting cross-legged, he quickly fell asleep.
Judging from the various tall buildings in the dream, this place does not belong to his own dream, but to Liu Chun.
Unbeknownst to him, Liu Chun quickly brushed past him. However, Liu Chun's first reaction was that he did not know who the 'Ancient Artifact' power spirit was. In his subconscious mind, this was just a passerby on the streets of the capital.
However, this scene kept appearing and playing out in Liu Chun's mind, and each time he was able to see the 'Ancient Artifact' power spirit in the same place.
"Haven't you noticed me yet?"
Just as the 'Ancient Artifact' power-generating entity wanted to repeat the process, Liu Chun, who had just passed by him, stopped and turned to walk towards him.
"Sir, haven't we met somewhere before?"
The ancient artifact-powered being nodded and explained, "Actually, we're still getting to know each other. Do you remember who I am?"
After a sharp pain, Liu Chun forced himself to calm down, and with the help of his internal energy, he quickly regained full consciousness.
"Ancient Relic Power Being, what are you doing here?"
Liu Chun frowned and asked, while also being shocked by the other party's methods. This was in his dream, where he was in charge of everything. And this "ancient artifact" power being dared to appear here directly. Wasn't it afraid that he would take the opportunity to eliminate it?
"I want your help, and I also want to return directly to the Ancient Relics Organization. I'd rather stay in that pitch-black dungeon with the sound of dripping water all around me. Liu Chun, please help me, okay?"
Although the "Ancient Artifact" spirit spoke with genuine emotion, how could Liu Chun easily believe his nonsense?
These enemies may seem like good people, but once they seize an opportunity, it's common for them to use any means necessary to achieve their goals.
However, he went to great lengths and risked being annihilated to come into his dream, all for the sake of getting his help. He simply wanted to break free from Si Huajin's control.
Is this a huge gamble or overconfidence stemming from an overconfidence in knowing Liu Chun too well?
Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Liu Chun looked at the 'Ancient Artifact' power entity again, scrutinizing it carefully. Even when he turned his back to it, the creature seemed to have no intention of attacking.
"Isn't staying by Si Huajin's side the reason you came into this world? Why did you insist on being captured by us? And we've restricted your freedom. Don't you yearn for freedom at all?"
The ancient artifact, a being of power, turned to face Liu Chun: "In comparison, I still prefer to be alone in a room, to spend my life quietly, even if it's not too exciting."
Who would have thought that people in ancient times enjoyed being alone so much? Just like those reclusive poets, they would often go up to the mountains to live alone, enjoying the idyllic life they wanted, and it didn't matter if they were disconnected from the outside world.
"So where are you now? And why should I believe what you say?"
The 'Ancient Relic' power entity thought for a moment and said, "My true form is sitting cross-legged on a rooftop. As for why you believe me... I don't think you'd want to keep facing an enemy so powerful that you can't handle it, right?"
"I know you're very capable, but what's the point if you don't have time to grow?"
Speaking of this, Liu Chun also remembered that Si Huajin was a powerful person, and as a modern person, what other powerful forces did he have behind him besides a mysterious ancient artifact organization?
Even if there are system tasks, these do require time to experience and complete. If the people around Si Huajin really stop holding back, how long can he live?
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Liu Chun tentatively asked the other party, "I might be able to help you, but if we resolve this matter for you, you have to help us deal with Si Huajin afterwards. That's the condition."
The 'Ancient Relic' power-wielding being looked at him: "Is there no room for negotiation on this matter?"
Liu Chun shook his head, indicating that he was very determined. He would either accept the offer if the power of the "ancient artifact" manifested in his mind, or he would look for another job.
