“Everybody stop snatching! There’s enough for everyone, don’t fight over it!”
“Damn it, I haven’t eaten in days! Shut your mouth!”
“Drop your mom’s ass! I’m starving till I’m a walking skeleton!”
While the blood clan thugs were still scrambling madly over the box of blood bags—
A figure charged toward them at full speed and slammed straight into the crowd!
Clang—!
Ah—!
What the hell—!
Two thugs were sent flying several meters by the impact, while the rest reacted in time and dodged the sudden collision.
“Who—! Who the hell is ramming people here?!”
“Got a death wish?!”
But when the thugs clearly saw who had rammed them, every single one of them widened their eyes in shock.
“That’s…”
“A trash can?!”
What they saw was a trash can standing there. More precisely, a humanoid trash can.
Sturdy, thick limbs that obviously radiated power. What shocked them most was that the opponent was actually a trash can!?
“The trash can became a spirit!?”
“What kind of monster is that? Trash can person?!”
But the trash can opposite them did not speak. It could not speak at all.
It simply showed off its thick muscles and struck a few poses.
Finally it extended a hand, signaling for a one-on-one fight and provoking the gang of thugs.
“Getting provoked by a trash can!?”
“Whether it’s human or ghost, brothers, let’s teach it a lesson!”
Furious and humiliated, the thugs swarmed forward, intending to give the trash can spirit in front of them a memorable beating!
Ooooh—
The fight had begun.
At this moment Wuming stood at a safe distance, watching the thugs battle the trash can.
That was right. The trash can monster was exactly what Wuming had created to deal with these thugs.
And this was precisely his unique ability.
After mentally setting the concept and dripping his own blood onto the trash can, the trash can had “naturally” come to life.
Becoming his own Stand.
The setting Wuming had given the trash can was [a trash can macho man with bodybuilder muscles].
This drew from the style he used when playing games. It had to be said that it was perfectly suited for dealing with these thugs.
“Waaah—!!!”
Wuming saw another thug get thrown out by the trash can spirit, then another.
Too brutal.
It looked like they were no match for it.
The duration of activation was controlled by the amount of blood dripped. A single drop like before could keep the trash can active for about ten minutes.
So the longer one wanted an object to stay alive, the more blood was needed. This was also a limitation.
He could not compare to his mom or grandma; by their standards his ability was already quite weak.
It had been the same when saving Serena.
He had animated that sexy doctor and given her the setting [possessing the most perfect surgical and healing abilities], allowing her to complete the operation.
It had to be said, this ability was truly convenient.
He did not even need to find a girlfriend.
That was why Wuming had lived alone for so many years—it made sense.
He watched the little thugs battle the trash can person. In just a few moments only three thugs were still standing.
“How is this thing so invincible!?”
“Brothers are all down!”
The thugs had attacked it, but those muscles were all made of iron. Knives slid across with no damage to the trash can at all.
Completely immune to physical attacks.
And its strength was enormous. A single punch or kick could send the thugs flying!
So they were no match at all.
It was about to end.
The trash can person kicked one thug flying, then swung a hand and slapped the nearby thug aside.
Only one thug remained on the field.
“Don’t, don’t come over—!”
The last thug tried to bolt, but the trash can person charged forward with momentum and knocked the final thug unconscious too.
Life, ah~ Can you let me off this one time~
A BGM inexplicably popped up in Wuming’s mind.
He had thought it was a speed bump.
All the thugs in the alley were now lying on the ground, clutching their injuries and groaning in pain.
That was right. None of them had died; at most they had passed out. This was Wuming’s final act of kindness toward them.
After dealing with the thugs, Wuming strolled leisurely to the box and rearranged the blood bags.
Thankfully none of the blood bags were damaged.
Otherwise it would all be money down the drain.
While Wuming was tidying the blood bags, the trash can person walked over to him.
He would keep it around for now, just in case any thug suddenly got up.
As long as he wiped away the spot with blood, the trash can would return to normal without being affected by time.
But right now Wuming wanted to be safe, so he temporarily left it and let the trash can follow him.
Confirming all blood bags were intact, Wuming closed the box.
Then next…
He walked to one of the fallen blood clan thugs and rummaged through the pockets of his clothes.
That token… should be on him, right?
Sure enough, Wuming felt a round object in the thug’s pants pocket and pulled it out.
A gold coin lay in Wuming’s palm.
Was this the token Crosti had mentioned?
Wuming held the gold coin up to the light and examined it. Under the illumination it gleamed golden. The front was engraved with the organization’s pattern, while the back featured a flower emblem.
It had to be said, the token’s craftsmanship was quite nice.
But he had only found one on this guy…
Wuming’s gaze turned to the blood clan thug he had just searched. It seemed he had also participated in that Scarlet Night.
Could it be that all the thugs here had joined?
To verify this guess, Wuming ordered the trash can spirit to help search the bodies of the other thugs.
After a round of thorough searching, Wuming now held nine of these tokens in his hand.
Looked like quite a few black households had joined that organization… These people probably all had.
For those he did not find any on, Wuming assumed they had joined Scarlet Night as well.
Surely not every black household had joined…
As for these tokens…
Wuming did not know what exactly they were used for or how to use them. He could only treat them as collectibles for now.
He would ask Crosti when he got back.
Thinking this, Wuming looked at the fallen thugs again.
Sleeping here is not good, you know?
It would be bad if you caught a cold later.
So Wuming took out his phone and dialed the Other Race Bureau’s number.
“This is the Other Race Bureau hotline. How may I assist you?”
The operator’s voice came from the other end.
“Hello, I’d like to report something.”
“I found a group of black households lying unconscious in Chaoyang Alley. Please send someone over.”
Then Wuming hung up directly.
We really are a great guy, huh.
Wuming’s gaze turned to the trash can.
He had almost forgotten about you.
Wuming reached toward the trash can’s lid and gently wiped the spot. The trash can immediately returned to normal.
After placing the trash can back in its original position, Wuming shouldered the box of blood bags and continued on his way home.
“Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm~”
He even hummed a little tune.
“I’m back.”
Wuming carried the large box of blood bags home. Serena had been waiting for a long time. The moment she saw him return, she pounced forward.
“So much blood!”
Looking at the full box of blood bags, Serena could not control the drool dripping from her mouth.
“Why were you so slow, Wuming?”
“You’re lucky I even brought some for you.”
Wuming said grumpily. As for the encounter with the thugs just now, Wuming decided not to mention it to her.
It was not something worth talking about anyway.
Completely unaware of this, Serena impatiently opened the box, grabbed a blood bag at random, tore it open, and started drinking. Her manner of eating looked as if she had not eaten for ages.
“Slow down, don’t choke—”
Cough, cough—!
Sure enough, right after he spoke Serena choked and coughed violently. Thankfully no blood was spilled.
Why drink so urgently…
As if she had not eaten for days.
Wuming stepped forward and patted her back, only stopping once she calmed down.
“Take it easy. No one’s fighting you for it.”
“This blood tastes so good!”
Serena said excitedly. She quickly finished the first bag, then reached for another.
What was so delicious about this blood…
Seeing her blissful expression, Wuming was puzzled. He was not blood clan, so he did not understand the deliciousness.
“These blood bags should last you quite a while. Don’t go chugging them all in one go.”
“Mm mm, I know~”
Under Wuming’s gaze, Serena took two more blood bags. For tonight’s dinner she had finished four bags just like that.
“…”
Do all you blood clan eat this much!?
Or is she just special?
Wuming could not figure it out. He even wondered whether he should ask Crosti if she was the same.
But it felt… like that would be invading someone’s privacy…
So Wuming gave up on the idea.
After putting the remaining blood bags into the fridge, Wuming sat down on the sofa to rest.
“Ah—~”
He felt like he had overdone the exercise today.
Recalling today’s experiences, the scene of Serena forcibly marrying him flashed through Wuming’s mind, and a doubt arose in his head.
He remembered his blood fusing with hers, but the blood in his body was highly toxic. Why had Serena not been affected?
Shouldn’t she have dropped dead on the spot?
This left Wuming somewhat puzzled.
Forget it. As long as she was fine, that was good.
Unable to figure it out, Wuming turned on the television to watch tonight’s match and took out his phone to clear today’s game dailies.
He had not slept from yesterday to today. Tonight he would sleep early and make up for what he had lost.
Wuming was already thinking of finishing the game dailies, then taking a shower and going to bed, to start a brand new day tomorrow.
“Hey, Wuming.”
Suddenly Serena stood behind the sofa with a blood bag in her mouth, watching Wuming play on his phone.
“What are you playing?”
“…”
