I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 40. Jumping off a building
Xia Feng had just casually searched for information on this topic when he unexpectedly discovered a storage device that was eight parts similar to the 'Hiraya Pocket Watch' in the vast amount of information.

It was an unexpected bonus.

Curious, he clicked on the profile of the person who posted the picture. This person hadn't posted for several years, but one of the photos, captioned "Eating steamed buns early in the morning," caught Xia Feng's attention.

The scene in the photo is a breakfast shop called "Aunt Lu's Steamed Bun Shop," and the decor suggests it's located in a slum area.

He quickly found the location of the shop.

"Blood Calamity Street?"

Xia Feng was stunned. He had long heard that this area was the place with the highest incidence of supernatural events in recent years. Spiritual Masters committed crimes and monsters caused chaos one after another. Almost every day someone would die. It was a paradise for criminals.

I remember the last time we traded Boundless Stones, Mu Qingtong killed someone on Blood Calamity Street and was then chased all the way to Weiyang Academy by the Holy Department agents.

Xia Feng stared at a small, fingernail-sized, shimmering black-gold pebble on the table, rubbing his chin as he fell into deep thought.

He originally planned to have Mu Qingtong buy the stones for him at a 20% premium, but he didn't expect that the Wuliang Stones in the underground channels would be completely wiped out by a suspected cult.

This is a bit difficult to handle.

Xia Feng rubbed his temples, gritting his teeth. If I find out which cult this is, I'll rob you of everything!
He was brooding over his unrealistic dreams when he glanced at the time.

[Remaining activity: 4 days and 8 hours]

With the remaining 1g of Boundless Stone, Xia Feng had a total of eleven days of lifespan left. Although he had plenty of time, Xia Feng felt inexplicably irritable.

Although I intuitively felt that the Demon Heart would be of great use after it was repaired, I couldn't keep being bound by it like this. I had to find a way to solve the problem once and for all!

For example, obtaining a large amount of Boundless Stones?
That way he could enter the Evil Dragon Space every day and absorb dragons. Xia Feng had another unrealistic dream.

"Fuck-"

He stood up, carefully placed the remaining Boundless Stone into Ping Shan's pocket watch, closed it, casually threw on a coat, and rushed out the door.

Dreams are fine, but it's more important to focus on reality right now.

The Hirayama pocket watch is a container for storing the Boundless Stone, and this is currently the only clue related to the Boundless Stone. He felt that he had to go and take a look at 'Aunt Lu's Steamed Bun Shop'.

*
Blood Calamity Street does not refer to a single street, but rather to the collective name of nineteen streets adjacent to the final Great Wall.

For unknown reasons, the space of Blood Calamity Street is extremely unstable. Frequently, monsters from the Gray Dimension break into the real world, killing or eating people within the Blood Calamity Street area, causing bloodshed to occur frequently, hence the name Blood Calamity Street.

As Xia Feng got out of the taxi, looking at the few passersby hurrying by and the old buildings with their overall gray tones, he felt a sense of oppression.

Not only are the houses here short, only four or five stories high, but even the sky seems much lower than in other places, and it's always gray.

For the sake of secrecy, he found a secluded corner, put on a black robe, and simultaneously activated the bronze mask.

Suddenly, a pure white mask was placed over her face.

"When you're out in the world of martial arts, you can't do without an alias. Hmm, since Mu Qingtong's code name is Hearts," Xia Feng rubbed his chin, "then I'll go with Spades."

As I pondered, the color and pattern of the mask began to change.

A moment later, a black-robed man wearing a red mask with spades appeared from the dark corner.

The man in black robes used his invisibility cloak to follow the navigation, winding his way through a maze of alleyways for ten minutes before finally finding the shop in a snack street.

[Aunt Lu's Steamed Bun Shop] To his surprise, the entrance to this shop was not deserted like other snack shops; it was crowded with people, making a lot of noise.

The man in black robes strolled closer leisurely, hands in his pockets, only to find everyone looking up at the sky. He then looked up as well.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll jump."

The slightly immature female voice was calm. A girl in a white dress stood against the wind on the tiled railing of the fourth-floor rooftop, her dark eyes vacant.

"Okay, okay! Uncle won't go over there. Child, don't be impulsive—" The man, his forehead covered in sweat, raised his hands slightly, gesturing for him to back away step by step, while anxiously advising, "You have a long life ahead of you, child, please don't be impulsive, think of your parents, think of your family."

"Parents?" the girl in the white dress murmured softly.

"Yes, yes! Your parents, how heartbroken they would be if you died—"

But at that moment, a sharp, loud voice drowned out the man's voice, like the roar of a wild beast before devouring its prey, "You worthless wretch! If you dare to jump, I'll disown you as my daughter!!"

Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged woman with a face full of anger. She tried to rush over, but fortunately, she was stopped by the people around her.

The girl in the white dress ignored the woman and simply turned to look downstairs.

Below, a large crowd of people thronged and made a lot of noise, but they kindly left her an open space. As long as she landed headfirst, she could die after enduring the despair and excruciating pain.

"This is... the aura of evil?" Xia Feng narrowed his eyes and carefully sensed it, clearly perceiving the evil energy reaction on the girl.

Seeing that the girl had one foot dangling in the air, Xia Feng did not act immediately, because he could easily catch her at the speed at which she was falling.

Moreover, another reason was that he discovered there was more than one source of malevolent energy in this place.

There are three locations in total.

Besides the girl, there was another person among the crowd pulling the middle-aged woman on the fourth floor, and the source of the third person was somewhat uncertain.

But the third aura was a malevolent force hundreds of times stronger and more terrifying than the girl's, probably a monstrous beast lurking in the shadows.

Seeing that the girl hesitated to jump, someone in the crowd chuckled softly.

"Just putting on an act, tsk~ kids these days are something else."

"Oh, how could you say that?"

"I must say, this kind of kid is the worst. He deliberately makes trouble for his family over the smallest things."

"This kind of person shouldn't have been born, sigh~"

The girl clenched her fists.

The noise and whispers of people were varied, and although they were far away and the voices were neither loud nor soft, a few words were clearly heard, accompanied by a cold laugh, right next to her ear.

She slowly moved her right foot forward, but then stopped.

"Yes, yes~ that's it. Keep moving forward, keep going forward. Everything you want is ahead, no humiliation, no pain."

In a daze, the seductive murmur in her heart rang out again, and a struggle flashed in the increasingly empty black eyes of the girl in the white dress. She knew in her heart that death was the worst choice.

"You heartless wretch—" Just then, with her husband's help, the middle-aged woman broke through the obstruction and rushed straight towards the girl, her panicked and anxious voice booming, "You good-for-nothing, get down here right now! How can you do this to us!"

The girl in the white dress, her pupils slightly constricted, took a step forward!
