White Bone Evolution Guide

Chapter 13 Sorry, the White Bone Demon doesn't have brains.

night.

A truck left the new urban area and drove into Dongjiang Town.

Occasionally, you can see security vehicles patrolling the streets.

Shops in town closed early, and there were no pedestrians on the road.

"Not long ago, this was a street full of barbecue restaurants where young people would eat barbecue at night, but now they've all gone home to sleep," Liu Wu said.

Gu Bai smiled and said, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."

"Yeah, we can't do that, we have to come and work late at night."

Liu Wu smiled and drove the car into the village: "There aren't many pig farms around here; it's all the villagers who raise pigs."

"This kind of pig is good." Gu Bai licked his lips.

This kind of pork has more yang energy than pork from farms.

We arrived at a small courtyard, where lights were still on.

Liu Wu dialed the phone, and footsteps could be heard. A dark-skinned man opened the door.

"Old Liu, you've finally arrived. The pigs are all tied up; you just need to weigh them," said the dark-faced man.

"Give me a hand."

Liu Wu smiled as he entered the house and went to the pigsty in the yard, where there were two large, fat pigs with their hooves already bound.

After weighing, ropes were put on the pigs, their hooves were untied, and they were driven onto the truck.

Lifting it by hand is too strenuous; it's easier to just get it onto the vehicle.

"Six yuan a pound, the latest price. I've transferred the money to you," Liu Wu said.

"Thank you," the dark-faced man said. "I'll take you to the next one."

Thank you for your trouble.

With villagers leading the way, collecting pigs is much easier; Liu Wu doesn't know every villager, which would be too much trouble.

One by one, the pigs were driven onto the truck. They worked until midnight and collected seventy-six pigs.

Gu Bai has seen it all, and there are no problems.

Before leaving, the dark-faced man asked, "Wangjiaying next door is also selling pigs. Are you coming again tomorrow?"

"I'll be here if nothing unexpected happens. I'll trouble you to show me the way then, brother." Liu Wu handed him a cigarette.

"No problem," the dark-faced man said, patting his chest.

"It's too late, brother, you should go back to sleep. We're leaving now."

Liu Wu waved and led Gu Bai into the car.

The vehicle left the village and returned to the city.

As Liu Wu drove, he took out a red envelope and handed it to Gu Bai: "Little Gu, don't think it's too little."

"I didn't help much tonight." Gu Bai didn't accept the red envelope.

"What are you talking about? It's dangerous late at night. It would cost two or three hundred yuan to just find someone to keep you company."

Liu Wu tossed him the red envelope and exhaled a puff of smoke: "Besides, you've already checked, the pig is fine. I'm only at ease after you've seen it."

Gu Bai stopped refusing, put away the red envelope, and opened it directly in front of him: "Wow, you're quite generous, five hundred."

"I've been making a lot of money lately. Why don't you rent a car and come with me to buy pigs? We can run this business together," Liu Wu said.

"Then forget it, wouldn't that be stealing your business?" Gu Bai shook his head.

"You can never earn all the money in the world. There are plenty of pigs around here. Do you think I can buy them all?"

Liu Wu said while smoking, "Let me do the math for you. With all this strange stuff going on, people don't go out after dark. A lot of cars can't run at night and are just sitting idle at home. You can rent a truck like this for a few hundred yuan a day."

"It'll be a bit of a hassle, collecting pigs from various places, and you might also get some chickens, ducks, or sometimes fruit if you're lucky."

"The market is good right now, we can sell out in a day, so there's no worry about unsold inventory..."

Gu Bai naturally knew the advantages, but also the disadvantages: "You can't just buy a pig whenever you want, can you?"

"What's so difficult about it? I have some connections. As long as you get a medical report and everything is normal, I'll take care of it for you over a meal. I don't do that for anyone else," Liu Wu said.

"Uncle Liu, you've gone to a lot of trouble, but I'm not in the mood for that. I'll just help you out by buying pigs."

Gu Bai laughed and said, "I don't even have a driver's license yet, so I can't exactly hire another driver, can I?"

He didn't have a driver's license; you don't need one for a tricycle.

"If you're not interested, fine. How about five hundred yuan for each trip, three pigs at full price, that's a fixed perk?" Liu Wu said.

"Thank you for taking care of me, Uncle Liu," Gu Bai said.

Liu Wu grinned, said nothing more, and started playing music.

The truck successfully left the town and arrived in the city, on the Liulianghe Road.

Occasionally, lights flicker in the distance.

"The animals that were released haven't gone back yet?" Gu Bai asked in surprise, "It's already the middle of the night."

"What a lunatic," Liu Wu cursed. "She thinks committing evil is doing good, and I don't know what's wrong with her family..."

With a loud bang, the car veered completely off course. Liu Wu immediately slammed on the brakes, the ground hissing and sparks flying.

"Damn it, what bad luck, I got a flat tire here."

Liu Wu stopped the car and unbuckled his seatbelt: "Xiao Gu, don't get out. I'm just changing a tire, it'll be quick."

"I'll go with you and take a look. It'll be dark, and we'll have someone to look after us." Gu Bai frowned slightly, looking outside. A peculiar smell wafted over.

It doesn't smell like mosquitoes or monsters; it's a different, peculiar smell, somewhat fragrant, and with a slightly cool sensation.

Has the ice cream come to life?

Why does this seem even more outrageous than dish soap?

After getting out of the car, I found that the left front tire had blown out.

Liu Wu took out the jack, held a flashlight in his mouth, and busied himself changing the tire.

Suddenly, Liu Wu's body stiffened, his eyes became vacant and lifeless, and he unconsciously tapped the tire with the wrench in his hand. Saliva dripped down the flashlight, as if he had lost his soul.

Gu Bai came to his side, and a blurry figure was silently clinging to his back.

The figure was hazy and illusory, vaguely resembling a woman. She opened her mouth and took a deep breath, but it was covered by a hand.

The blurry figure stared wide-eyed at Gu Bai in astonishment.

Gu Bai grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth. Surprisingly, there was no tongue inside; his mouth felt completely empty.

An invisible force compressed and twisted the hazy figure, rapidly shrinking it until it finally returned to a photograph on the ground.

Gu Bai picked up the photo. It showed a woman soaking in water, wearing a green gauze dress and with long hair, but without facial features.

The cool, refreshing feeling comes from the photo.

He put the photo in his pocket and patted Liu Wu on the shoulder: "Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu Wu jolted awake, his mind clearing, and the flashlight fell from his mouth to the ground: "You scared me! I was changing a tire."

"I saw you standing there blankly, and I thought you were doing something." Gu Bai squatted down next to him and helped him hold the tire.

"Are you feeling cold?" Liu Wu picked up the flashlight and huddled up.

"It's a bit cool at night. Let's change the tire and head back quickly," Gu Bai said.

Liu Wu nodded and sped up.

Half an hour later, the tires were changed, and the pigs were checked again to make sure there were no problems before the car drove away.

Back at the slaughterhouse, Gu Bai went home first. The pigs still needed to be sent for inspection, so he slaughtered them overnight.

When I got home, I took off my clothes and went straight to the bedroom.

Gu Bai took out the photo and examined it closely. The sweet smell had disappeared, leaving only a cold sensation.

He took a deep breath, but there was no reaction at all.

"Could it be that I've finished running? But that doesn't make sense, I didn't feel any loss of yang energy along the way." Gu Bai scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

After all, this White Bone Demon had basically never been in contact with her kind, so she didn't know much about her.

I reached out and flicked the photo, but there was no reaction.

Never mind, I'll go to sleep first. I have things to do tomorrow.

Even a superhuman like Bai Gu Jing needs a good night's sleep.

Not long after he fell asleep holding the photo, a hazy figure appeared in the photo, and strands of gray thread spread upwards, directly attacking his mind.

The gray thread pierced into the brain, and suddenly, as if electrocuted, it began to dance wildly.

Wait, where's the brain?

"Sorry, the White Bone Demon doesn't have a brain."
