Chapter 138 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

"Then... what exactly happened to my sister?" While absorbing the fresh flesh and blood contribution from Nan Xi, Ou Er Mo Si suddenly heard the girl's questioning and was at a loss for how to respond. "Rumble, rumble." Outside, it was pouring rain. Nan Xi pulled up her collar and walked into the nearby abandoned mall, paying no mind to the blaring sirens outside, and questioned once more. "This is something you promised me," Nan Xi glanced at a few nearby beggars who seemed to have wrong intentions. "You said I would help you regain your abilities, and in return, you would tell me the secret about my sister." "Hehe... You are too impatient, girl," Ou Er Mo Si chuckled. "We are still far from regaining my abilities, aren't we? You still have a long way to go." "Moreover... considering your fragile emotions, I doubt you can remain as composed once you learn the truth," Ou Er Mo Si suddenly looked behind Nan Xi. "Girl, it seems like you are in trouble." Upon hearing this, Nan Xi's steps faltered slightly. She turned around to see the group of beggars huddling towards her. "Little girl, why aren't you at home doing your homework on such a late night? What are you doing wandering around here?" The leader, a middle-aged beggar bare-chested, eyed Nan Xi with ill intentions, glancing at her school uniform. "It's quite late. Are you feeling hot, little girl? Why don't you take off your clothes and have some fun with us, hmm?" The beggar said, preparing to undress Nan Xi. He had no concern that Nan Xi might belong to a wealthy family. These beggars were typically struggling to make ends meet, and they wouldn't care about the consequences of their actions. To these beggars, the girl in front of them looked like she was stunned, as if stunned in place. Seeing this, they brushed off the feeling. They had encountered runaway girls like this before who came to the slums; without exception, they were left with nothing after being exploited by the gangs, and even their organs hadn't been spared. They didn't usually have the same opportunity, but today they finally had an innocent girl running into their territory. As these beggars fantasized about their impending good fortune, they failed to notice the leader's shadow gradually expanding. Then, at the moment the beggar's fingers touched Nan Xi's collar, a shrill scream rang out, and his flesh and bones began to rapidly condense like thick sulfuric acid until he had turned into a pool of blood in plain sight. Subsequently, the blood was entirely devoured by the shadow, leaving behind only the lower half of the man's clothing lying empty on the ground. "What... What's happening..." The others were naturally scared stiff by the situation. Then, in the next moment, the person who spoke also followed in the footsteps of the previous one and, after a pitiful scream, turned into a pool of blood, consumed by his own shadow. With two companions dying in such a bizarre manner, the remaining people, though bewildered, realized that the girl in front of them was problematic. The assassins knew they had provoked someone they shouldn't have. The seemingly fragile girl in front of them turned out to be a noble and advanced supernatural ability user, even though in this world, almost everyone had supernatural abilities. However, the abilities of low-level supernatural beings were almost negligible, which was why these people had become beggars. Most of them were extremely low-level supernatural beings who couldn't support themselves. "Sir, we apologize for our oversight! Please spare us, spare us! Please forgive us." One quick-witted man quickly stepped forward to plead for mercy, but in the next moment, he also promptly turned into a pool of blood without even managing to scream. Observing the terror-stricken individuals, Nan Xi noticed the shadows of these people were still expanding. She frowned and reprimanded coldly, "Ou Er Mo Si, that's enough. You've made your point." "Hehe... You're good with idioms." Although Ou Er Mo Si's words were full of sarcasm, given that Nan Xi was currently his only vessel, he stopped his hand in deference to her. Afterwards, with a cold "Get lost," Nan Xi made them scurry back to the corner at a speed even faster than before, trembling in fear. These pitiful beggars were merely instances of the strong bullying the weak, and the weak bullying the weaker. Thinking about this, Nan Xi shook her head and did not linger any longer, passing through the abandoned mall and exiting through the back door. The commotion caused by the beggars alerted everyone, so Nan Xi encountered no obstacles as she left. After all, saving their own lives took precedence. Leaving through the back door, Nan Xi arrived at a shanty town. Honestly, until today, Nan Xi would never have believed that in the year 2023, in Tianzhou City, known for its advanced technology, there were still primitive shanty towns. However, this was Tianzhou City, a city with extreme disparities in wealth. But now, merged with the memories of the divine spirit Ou Er Mo Si, Nan Xi was no longer the kind-hearted, worried girl she had been. Or rather, she had hidden away her kindness—regardless, she now completely disregarded the so-called unfortunate people in the shanty town and directly went to the designated meeting place. The meeting place was an abandoned warehouse. When Nan Xi went inside, the other party had not yet arrived. The deserted warehouse was only filled with tarp-covered containers. However, as she reached the middle of the warehouse, the lights suddenly turned on, and the blinding light made Nan Xi instinctively cover her eyes. When she lowered her hand, she saw seven or eight armed thugs holding suppression guns, with two of them aiming heavy weapons at her. "Nan Xi, did you bring what we wanted?" The man leading the group jumped down from the container and smiled at Nan Xi, but it was clear the smile was not from the heart. After all, just yesterday, this little girl had killed more than a dozen of his brothers. However, he still had to do business with her. A normal person wouldn't be able to tolerate it, but he did, as the strange methods employed by the little girl still sent shivers down his spine. "I've brought it," Nan Xi didn't beat around the bush. She tossed a watch over to the man. "This is the bracelet of the leader of that gang. You should recognize it; it has the location of all his private assets," Nan Xi said and then suddenly lowered her head. "I have no reason to deceive you. There is no one left there. You can send people to check." As soon as Nan Xi finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly quieted down. Some people even started sweating. After all, that was a gang with hundreds of members! Yet this young girl single-handedly wiped them out! The man who spoke felt somewhat embarrassed. He pretended to smile and said, "Of course, we never doubted you, Nan Xi." With that, he waved, and two subordinates immediately came and carried two boxes over. Nan Xi did not stand on ceremony and opened the boxes to find snow-white crystals inside. Then, without hesitation, Ou Er Mo Si absorbed them all, turning several dozen high-energy crystals into ordinary powder. "Pleasure doing business with you." Finished with the transaction, Nan Xi didn't want to linger any longer. She waved and turned to leave.
