Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 118 Can’t Eat Human Food

"If you don't join Ye An, there is still the human realm waiting for you."

Chen Ningan explained the actions of the human realm and the theories of deceiving people, and sneered:
"Ye An wants you to be aloof and attract a group of profit-seeking people."

"The human realm seized this opportunity and absorbed the remaining passionate people, under the beautiful name of "for the world."

This was so dark that Wang Youcai didn't know what to say. Everything in the world before his eyes was normal, but he seemed to see endless despair.

Can it really not be changed?
He didn't want to believe it.

"Ning An, I'm going back first." The joy in his heart was diluted, and he forced a smile and said, "I'll go home and tell my parents, they will definitely be very happy!"

"I'll send it to you."

Chen Ningan stood up, but was rejected by Wang Youcai.

"I'll go back by myself. Please let me be quiet for a while."

He felt very depressed. This strange feeling of distance meant he could never speak freely again.

Chen Ning'an moved his lips, and at this time he could clearly see the distance between the two of them.

His experiences in this life continued to spread in his mind, and various memories with Wang Youcai emerged. They were not brothers, but better than brothers.

But these were soon diluted by the knowledge from his previous life. He was no longer a naive boy.

The only way to protect Wang Youcai is to stay away from him. Any trouble that Chen Ningan encounters now can easily destroy Wang Youcai.

His thoughts wandered away as he watched the latter's back gradually disappear into the distance.

this is the truth.

Chen Ning'an returned to the room. His body was very stiff and it was very difficult for him to use the key to open the door.

This place can be preserved, but so many zombies definitely cannot continue to stay on the fifth floor.

He wanted to rent a house on the first floor. He couldn't move back to his previous residence, so he had to find a new house.

The housing prices in Zhongcheng are very high, or rather, the housing prices in every city are very high. The rich people would rather leave a lot of houses empty than sell them at low prices.

Chen Ning'an naturally found the previous agent. After hearing his request, the agent's face immediately showed joy.

"We have quite a few sample rooms on Qingxia Road, and there are also quite a few houses with gardens on the first floor. Would you like to take a look?"

Qingxia Road?
Chen Ning'an couldn't help but look at the agent, whose eyes were smiling, and he couldn't see anything special.

"Let's find another place."

He didn't want to be too close to Ye An.

"That location is a bit out of the way, near the village in the city. It's a bit chaotic over there at night."

"That's right. I'm not afraid of chaos."

Chen Ning'an finally bought a house on the first floor of Yinque Community, which is over 200 square meters and has a yard.

Chen Ning'an took the zombies away that night.

As soon as he changed his position, Ye An received the message.

Qin Xin frowned: "Why does he suddenly want to change places?"

They had already made some arrangements for the human environment there and could monitor it in real time. Now this change would require a lot of manpower and resources.

"Should we send someone to contact him?"

The secretary asked cautiously, and Qin Xin was a little tempted. Changing houses could indeed achieve some good results during this critical period.

But after weighing the pros and cons, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. There's no need for us to get close to him now. Let's wait until Wang Youcai's family gets sick."

This gave Chen Ning'an some free time.

But he soon faced new problems.

This body basically doesn't digest food anymore.

After the body has been transformed into a half-human, half-rigid state, its functions are almost stagnant, and ordinary food cannot cause any reaction in the body at all.

Only things with qi and blood can stimulate the ability of the Red Candle Cemetery Fruit to produce digestion, which is very deadly.

When the body no longer needs it, the soda I used to like becomes difficult to swallow, rice, flour, grains and oil become thick and heavy, and even saliva cannot be produced in the mouth.

“No wonder monks would practice fasting after reaching a high level of cultivation.”

Chen Ningan suddenly realized that his current body didn't need these things, so wasn't that fasting?
Only Qi and blood are the wonderful things that replenish the body. It seems that he is still following the mainstream method of practice.

But there is an explanation for the source of qi and blood.

In addition to the green carp that the green people delivered every day, Chen Ning'an accidentally opened up another way.

Next to the Yinque community is the urban village.

Calling it a village is actually just a nicer derogatory term. This urban village extends from Zhongcheng to the suburbs and is full of dilapidated and old houses.

The place where homeless people, orphans who are unwilling to go to the orphanage, the disabled, lazy people and hooligans gather is a veritable slum.

Every morning there were drunkards, passers-by, beggars, etc. leaning against the fence outside the yard. They could not even afford the monthly rent of one or two new Qin coins in the urban village.

It's okay in the marginal areas, but once you enter the urban village, the stench is terrible and the streets are full of vomit and excrement.

In many corners, the thin black-green liquid had gathered into piles.

In such a shabby place, Chen Ning'an accidentally came across a small clinic.

Every day there are homeless people or poor people coming in, and when they leave, their thin faces are filled with smiles.

After he went in and found out, he realized that these people were there to sell blood.

Normally 100cc is about one dollar.

However, these black clinics charge kickbacks, about 100% to 10% for 15cc. But even so, many people are willing to come "in exchange for value."

Why? Because it doesn’t matter whether you have any disease, any illness, any virus, etc.

Just come and give money, no matter whether you are male or female, old or young, or have any incurable disease.

"boss."

When Chen Ning'an stepped into the small clinic, there was already a queue of several people.

There was a girl in front of me. She was very nervous and wearing clothes that were washed so lightly that they had a faint odor.

The water used for washing clothes is not clean, and yes, clean water is also very expensive.

She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly with her fists. The reason why Chen Ning'an paid attention to her was because this girl was wearing an antique pendant on her chest.

That is not something that normal people can get; it belongs to the lantern world.

It must be her first time here, so she was very scared and looked at everyone with caution.

"How much?"

Doctors in clinics habitually ask questions.

"Three... two hundred, two hundred."

She was afraid of pain, but she was more afraid of being hungry.

The doctor glanced at her and said, "We will provide food after the blood is drawn to prevent you from fainting."

Some people come here because they are so hungry that they have no other choice. They provide blood to prevent the blood sellers from fainting and becoming difficult to deal with.

Chen Ning'an took a look and saw that the food was just simple bread and expired milk, but it was enough to meet the needs of one person.

The girl sold 200cc, but since it was her first time, there was no discount and they took the highest commission of 15%, so she only got 170 coins in the end.

"How much do you want to sell it for?"

Doctor Chen Ning'an asked subconsciously, but she was startled when she looked up.

There was no color on this man's face and he looked like a dead person.

According to her experience, such a person might be drained to death before he even sells his blood.

“I don’t sell blood.”

Chen Ningan said, "I want a blood transfusion. How much is the price here?"

Blood transfusion?

This has been a long time since I encountered this. The doctor looked at him and said, "It depends on what you want to transfuse, whole blood or blood components, and what blood type you have. The price is also different."

Chen Ningan frowned: "What if I buy from you? There is no limit on blood type."

"Sorry, this is against the rules and we don't sell it."

The doctor waved off an ordinary man for interrupting his business.

Chen Ning'an frowned, and without saying anything else, he turned and left after observing the pattern again.

There were unexpectedly many people selling blood here. After he walked out, he thought for a while, took out his cell phone and dialed a number he hadn't called for a long time.

"Hey?"

The voice on the other end was charming and elegant, and it was obvious that he was a very kind middle-aged man.

"It's me, Chen Ning'an."

He called Uncle Liu, the only doctor he knew.

"It is you?"

Uncle Liu's heart skipped a beat, and many bad memories came to his mind. Those were the nightmares that appeared in his mind every night.

He has now moved out of Zhongcheng because he doesn't want to come into contact with those things anymore.

"How have you been?"

Uncle Liu asked about his health: "Have you been to the hospital for a checkup recently?"

"It's okay." After exchanging some pleasantries, Chen Ning'an went straight to the point.

"I would like to ask someone who has some medical knowledge to help me take care of me. It would be best if it is a doctor who knows blood operations, but a nurse is also fine. Does Uncle Liu have any recommendations?"

"Doctors and nurses in this field?" Uncle Liu thought for a moment and said, "My colleagues all work in the hospital. They probably won't agree to help you. After all, they have a regular position."

"What about those who are not so professional?" Chen Ning'an asked. He didn't believe that Dr. Liu didn't have these connections. "Well, if something goes wrong...

Uncle Liu was still hesitating, so Chen Ningan made a direct promise:

"Ten thousand. I want someone who is brave enough to draw blood."

This was almost a clear indication, and soon the sound of movement was heard from the other side.

"Ning An, you... Let me give you a phone number. He used to be a forensic doctor, but you'd better not tell him that it's my number."

Uncle Liu's words were very cryptic. If he were to be exposed, his life would be over.

As expected, money is needed to pave the way. Chen Ningan dialed the number and a hoarse male voice came from the other end.

"Who?"

"How much do you get paid per day?"

"Price? I'll give you 500 coins a day."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in Yinque Community."

Their conversation was extremely simple, and neither side even asked the other's name.

The next day, Chen Ning'an met this man. Just like his voice, he was a thin middle-aged man with unshaven beard.

"Let's go and see the patient."

The two parties contacted each other by phone to determine the address.

Chen Ningan was examining him. "My patients are not simple. They need a lot of blood every day."

"Blood?"

The man’s expression did not change: “Okay, but I need to make sure how many days you want to hire me and how much I’ll pay.

"Let's go for a year first."

Chen Ning'an took out his mobile phone and transferred two thousand new Qin coins to him.

This is more than one hundred times the annual price of new Qin coins, which surprised the man a little.

"It seems that the work I have to do is quite difficult."

"It is indeed not small, but you can hire a servant who is not too far off. The price is the same as yours, and the extra money is yours."

After Chen Ning'an finished speaking, he gave him a business card.

"Now go to the ghetto and distribute it."

The man took a look at it and found it was a business card for selling blood.

"You want me to help you buy blood?"

He sneered: "This is not allowed. You really know how to pick people."

"You won't do it?" Chen Ning'an asked him. The man chuckled and said, "I can do it, but you have to tell me what the sales channel is. I don't want to be arrested again after I just got out."

"You don't have to think about the sales. I can tell you that the recovered blood cannot leave this house."

This sentence made the middle-aged man gradually confused, and he was somewhat unable to figure out what Chen Ning'an was planning.

"What if we leave the yard?" he asked Chen Ning'an. Chen Ning'an pointed to his mobile phone and said, "The money has been given to you. You can leave at any time."

"You are quite unique in doing business this way." The man agreed: "My name is Wang Jian, Jian."

"That's a bad name."

Chen Ning'an only replied with four words: "Change your name when you have time. This suggestion is more valuable than you working for me for a year."

On that day, Wang Jian went out with the business card, and the next day someone came to explore the way.

The information on the business card is very simple: selling blood, no commission.

Chen Ning'an didn't care about the money at all. Anything he got in the lantern world could be sold for a good price, so naturally he didn't care about these details.

On the first day, there were 15 people selling about 2000cc of liquor, which was barely enough to make ends meet.

The next day, the number of people increased immediately, and by the end there were 4000cc.

On the third and fourth days, almost every day was around 5000cc.

This also allowed the red-robed corpse and others to be replenished. They stood motionless in the room, with wax dripping continuously.

If someone came in, they would be frightened and scream, and might even die suddenly.

Chen Ning'an didn't let Wang Jian get close. It was better for ordinary people not to know these things.

As the number of people increased, Wang Jian had to start recruiting an assistant, and coincidentally, it was the girl that day.

At the price of 80 Wenbi per day, Wang Jian made a net profit of 420.

But even so, the girl was very happy, at least she had a stable job during this time.

Chen Ning'an stayed in the room with the zombies, following Ye'an's official forum.

With more blood flowing, his Yang energy gradually became more abundant, and he could feel his body noticeably relaxing, no longer as stiff as before.

But because of the separation of his soul and body, the eyes no longer had much influence on him. He was determined to continue his journey and was planning to enter the cave to investigate again.

Perhaps his thoughts coincided with fate. When Chen Ning'an's special medicine was almost finished, Ye'an officials released the lantern mission in Yadongpo.

[Yadongpo? Isn't that Dengjing? It's only been settled for a month or two and yet it's getting so big? ]

[You haven't gotten used to it yet? It's rare that the lanterns have become normal recently. The lanterns have been ordinary for the past month or two, and I'm not used to it. This is Ye An's true face. ]

The forum immediately became lively.

【Requesting information about Yadong. 】

[Does anyone know the specific situation of Yadongpo? Is it dangerous? ]

[I heard that the last time the lanterns were held in Dadong Village, it was below Yadong, and there were special rules. Does the lanterns at Yadongpo have anything to do with the rules? ]

Everyone was talking about it, but no one sold any specific information for a long time.

It was Ye An who took out a rough outline of the content.

[You cannot leave other people's sight in Dadong Village, otherwise you will die immediately. ]

[The inside of Yadong is a regular light environment, so you need to pay special attention. 】

It seems that they don't know that the coffin in Dadong Village has been taken away by Chen Ning'an. Perhaps they know and are just trying to confuse people.

Chen Ning'an searched for information about Yadongpo, but found no useful information. Apart from the word "rules", there was no other information.

The time for lighting the lanterns was very close, just five days later, and Chen Ning'an arrived at Yadong three days in advance.

Looking from the outside, the cave was pitch black, with water pouring out from inside.

When you get closer, the dark green water appears particularly deep.

He was not the first one to arrive here. The cave was dimly lit with candles, and some people had already started carrying lanterns.

Chen Ning'an then lit the lantern and walked into the water under the cave.

The waters here are very deep. After holding the lantern, the water could not touch him. Chen Ningan fell dozens of meters in one step.

The water was very deep, and at the bottom he saw densely packed white bones.

And... there are wires leading into the cave.

This is exactly the same as the one in the patio, with traces of modern technology. He has reason to believe that this is Ye An's plan.

In front, there were many people holding lanterns and exploring around as they walked into the cave. Someone discovered him and deliberately stopped to wait for Chen Ningan to approach.

"Brother, are you here to look for first-hand information as well?"

He had no flesh on his cheeks, his eyes and skin were sallow, and his hair was extremely sparse due to his baldness.

When Chen Ningan approached, this person smiled and said, "My name is Qin Feng, and I'm a veteran lantern bearer. Do you want to team up with me?"

"Form a team?" Chen Ning'an wanted to shake his head, but when he thought that he was only here to investigate the situation today, he agreed.

"This is my first time in Yadong. I've heard that it's mysterious, but I didn't expect it to be so deep."

Qin Feng said a lot: "Let's just follow them, just don't get too close."

Chen Ning'an looked at him. There was a rule in Dadong Village that one had to keep eyes on others. He appeared here alone, which was very suspicious.

But this has nothing to do with him. Chen Ning'an also wants someone to take the blame at the critical moment.

At this moment, I subconsciously narrowed my eyes and looked back.

The entrance hole was gradually shrinking, and he didn't know if it was his illusion.

Ye'an usually does not appear when there is no problem with the lighting environment. It will only start operating when there is a problem or the environment master requests it.

There is nothing on the ground of this Light Realm, it is just a barren land.

Even Chen Ning'an didn't see a single stone, and he found nothing after walking inside for a long time.

Will it be so easy to carry the lantern this time?
He didn't believe it. After all, it was the first time he heard of the Rule Light Realm.

Having monitored the intensity of the coffin not being able to leave his sight, he was very cautious.

"That's weird, why is there nothing?"

Qin Feng played with the handle of the lantern with his fingers, wanting to take a look at the inner wall of the cave.

But there is no problem with the inner wall either.

"Stop."

Chen Ning'an suddenly stopped and looked back.

The light at the entrance of the cave was getting smaller. At their current speed, the light shouldn't be shrinking so quickly.

It seemed as if the cave entrance was getting farther and farther away from them.

He decisively chose to end the lantern and blow out the candlelight with the wind fruit.
