Twisted Dreams-Chapter 51 - 23: Chen Wei

Late at night, at the Half-Mountain Villa.

Li Yang toyed with two membership cards.

On them were written [Apostle Black Emperor], [Apostle: Three-headed Hellhound].

Of all the demons, only Crow Black Dragon and Black Dog Xiaohai did not have membership cards, as they were not human, they were the last to be made.

The title of [Black Emperor] was Suzu’s unilateral decision.

She thought the underling’s name was impressive, giving the master face as well.

This crow, who loved calling himself His Majesty, also liked the title.

Li Yang tossed the two membership cards to Crow and Black Dog.

Black mist rose from Crow, revealing Demon Snake.

Demon Snake opened its large mouth and stored the membership card by swallowing it.

A dog head appeared at Black Dog’s neck, swallowing the membership card.

They belonged to the same batch of [Desire Potion], and the method of storing membership cards was surprisingly the same.

Li Yang sat at the table, doodling in his notebook.

"First Apostle, Black Witch.

Second Apostle, Black Emperor.

Third Apostle, Three-headed Hellhound.

Fourth Apostle, Blood Prince.

Fifth Apostle, Fallen Angel·Vanity.

Sixth Apostle, Succubus Queen.

The current lineup of the Apostle Group isn’t too bad.

Each demon has a specific function, each in place, ensuring the normal operation of the Demon Club."

Li Yang glanced at Suzu, who was enthusiastically watching anime, and continued to write:

"Apart from the crucial role of [Black Witch] being like a waste, the other apostles are working hard."

[Black Witch] is the key to locating Desire Power.

But this one never practices.

The Demon Power is very weak, and the efficiency of finding Desire Power is ridiculously low.

Li Yang turned to a new page and wrote:

"Half of [Shadow Demon Potion].

A full [Deceiving Demon] potion.

This is the [Desire Potion] currently possessed."

After acquiring the third Talent [Soul Profound Meaning], Li Yang could clearly perceive what kind of power the [Desire Potion] contained.

Chen Wei’s portion of [Desire Potion] belonged to a [Deceiving Demon] from Hell.

........

The general framework of Demon Club has been completed, and it’s time to introduce members now.

When dozens of high-ranking elites join the Demon Club, the Demon Club will also complete the first phase of its transformation.

[Desire Potion] is the central thread throughout the Demon Club, and only having one and a half [Desire Potion] is obviously not enough.

Li Yang’s head throbbed as he looked frustratingly at Suzu.

Whether it’s finding people with Desire Power or finding suitable people to join the Demon Club, the role of the [Black Witch] who can peek into people’s hearts is truly indispensable.

Suzu suddenly yelled:

"Ah!!!! Li Yang! The membership has expired!"

Suzu knelt up from the carpet, folded her hands, and smiled pleadingly:

"Li Yang, can you top up a month’s membership first?

I promise to work hard. I swear!"

Back when Suzu was still a cat, her cleverness had already taught her to fawn on Li Yang for fish treats.

This trick never failed.

Li Yang said ruthlessly:

"If you bring your Spiritual Power to Tier Two, I’ll top up a year’s membership for you."

Suzu pouted sadly:

"Please, Jiraiya is fighting Pain now, I have to cheer him on!"

Li Yang sneered, arms crossed:

"Stop watching, Jiraiya dies, and didn’t come back to life later."

Suzu looked at Li Yang in disbelief.

Jiraiya... dead?

Her face blank, gradually, a layer of mist covered her big eyes.

A young girl’s heart quietly broke.

The little cat girl pointed at Li Yang full of resentment:

"You! Are you serious!

You know how many things I’ve done in secret for the Demon Club!

You just dislike my low rank!"

The more Suzu spoke, the angrier she got, jumping up in a huff:

"Watch me, I’ll definitely climb ranks faster than any of the apostles!

Soon I’ll be better than that big-chested Enchanting Demon you like!

Wait till I grow up, my chest will be bigger than hers!"

The Black Witch gains Spiritual Power by devouring pain.

Logically speaking, in this restless society, the Black Witch should advance quickly.

Speaking of which, wasn’t there someone just devastated who visited the pharmacy today?

Suzu decided to take action, using her Spiritual Power, she found Chen Wei’s position.

She gave Li Yang a heavy cold snort before leaving the villa, heading towards Chen Wei’s location.

........

Some girls cried their hearts out over not having anime to watch in the villa, while some men sat under bridge arches, swallowing cheap white wine and cabbage soup while holding photos of deceased girlfriends.

Chen Wei caressed the crumpled photo, tears constantly falling:

"Baby, wait for me, I will definitely bring you back to life.

How can I kill Zhou Qing?

How on earth can I kill him!

And that damn Master Snake!

These high and mighty people don’t see us at the bottom as humans at all!"

His clothes were dirty, with fresh blood stains.

Beside him lay a homeless man of uncertain life or death.

The white wine in his hand and the cabbage soup in the cracked bowl came from the hands of the old homeless man who planned to improve his life today.

Taken by force.

Chen Wei angrily drank the last mouthful of white wine.

A plan formed in his mind, and he wiped his nose and stood up.

A hand grabbed at his pant leg, a weak voice said:

"Young man, please call an ambulance for us, I’m in so much pain."

Chen Wei looked at the old homeless man with disdain.

He stomped on the homeless man’s face and limped away.

Li Yang had said that Chen Wei was a vicious scoundrel.

The homeless man couldn’t even utter a groan, breathing weakly.

’Tap, tap, tap.’

The old homeless man heard the sound of little leather shoes walking.

Someone was coming.

It was Suzu, greedily absorbing the homeless man’s pain, as her Spiritual Power increased.

The will to live pushed the homeless man to try to open his eyes, trembling fingers tracing a cross on his chest:

"Help me, please, help me, God will bless you."

She blinked her big eyes, mockingly said:

"If your God could bless you, you wouldn’t be here."

The hand tracing the cross froze.

"Your God won’t bless you, maybe another God will, you should pray for the Death God’s pity."

The homeless man actually listened, muttering prayers for the Death God’s blessing.

Suzu took out a tablet, composing a message, the recipient was Li Yang.

This homeless man is on the verge of death, with no family, a strong survival desire, a good candidate for a Cleaner.

In the early development of the Demon Club, she must aid Li Yang with insights.

After completing everything, Suzu hopped along to continue following Chen Wei.

In the West, there is a legend.

Black cats are considered an ill omen, and those targeted by black cats don’t live long.

Especially when that black cat is... the Black Witch after devouring a Witch’s heart.

........

At Jack Bear’s Video Game City, huge cute bear decorations adorned the top floor of the building, resplendent neon lights decorate the building into a fairy tale world.

Chen Wei limped up to the third floor, two security guards stopped him:

"This area is not open to the public."

Chen Wei certainly knew what was above the third floor.

That’s the casino, Master Snake’s territory.

Jack Bear’s Video Game City is an underground casino disguised as an arcade.

Chen Wei hung a fawning smile:

"Brothers, I’m a regular, Old Mo is my buddy."

One security guard was unyielding:

"Don’t know what you’re talking about, move along."

Another guard sneered:

"Look at your filthy clothes, get going, before I bust your other leg."

Chen Wei’s face darkened.

He didn’t like anyone mocking his limp.

Chen Wei glanced at a nearby golden metal pillar reflecting a shadow, looking like a dirty beggar.

At that moment, a man with bloodshot eyes and crusty eye corners stumbled out from inside.

Chen Wei’s experience told him this was a gambling addict, so he leisurely followed behind him.
