The Chi Jiu Bird flew to Hua Long's ear, whispering something that I couldn't understand at all.
Then it flew to my ear.
It told me that I had to go to the dock,
and said it was fate.
The dock?
Why the dock?
It's so eerie there.
There must be a trick.
"I... won't go," I said.
But without giving me a chance to refuse,
the Chi Jiu Bird grew larger once again.
With one flap of its wing, it sent me flying onto its back.
Its back was warm.
I don't know how, but I fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dusk.
I found myself near the dock.
The sea breeze howled.
The air was filled with a salty, fishy scent.
The dock was deserted.
Only a few worn-out fishing boats swayed in the waves.
My heart grew increasingly uneasy.
Suddenly,
a voice rang out.
"I didn't expect to see you here."
I turned around to look.
Liu Feng stood behind me.
His gaze was cold and fierce.
" Hall Master Liu," I said, "what do you want?"
"Hand over that knife," Liu Feng replied.
"The knife?" I asked. "What knife?"
Liu Feng chuckled.
"Stop pretending," he said. "I've already obtained the other two kitchen tools."
"You, a mere nobody, don't deserve to have these," he added.
His words sent a chill down my spine.
At that moment.
Liu Feng suddenly struck.
He was indeed as formidable as the legends said.
Incredibly powerful.
I was knocked to the ground by him.
He had me by the throat.
I was on the verge of suffocating.
Am I going to die?
I exerted all my strength.
Struggling.
Resisting.
Suddenly,
I remembered my kitchen tools.
I picked up the fallen kitchen knife with all my strength.
I swung it towards Liu Feng.
In that moment, as I gripped the knife,
a golden light flashed.
It seemed that Liu Feng's grip on my hand had lost all its strength.
The knife struck Liu Feng's body.
I felt no resistance.
It was as if I had pierced through a mass of cotton.
Liu Feng's body slowly dissipated,
like a wisp of black mist.
I collapsed to the ground,
gasping for breath.
Li Qi appeared silently before me.
I was startled.
She handed me a bottle of medicine.
"You only struck a shadow conjured by Liu Feng's evil spirit," she said gently. "The real Liu Feng is not so easily dealt with."
I took the bottle.
A faint herbal fragrance wafted through the air.
I hesitated for a moment.
But I drank it anyway.
A warm current spread throughout my body.
The weakness brought on by panic gradually faded away.
"Liu Feng... why is he doing this?" I asked.
"He has lost control," Li Qi replied. "The evil spirit has completely taken over his body, and his actions..."
"Destroying the City is just the first step. Only with more blood can we feed more evil spirits."
A weight settled in my heart.
Destroying the City... just the first step?
What could his ultimate plan be?
I dared not imagine.
"We have to stop him," I said.
"I know," Li Qi replied, "that's why I came to find you."
"We need to work together."
I looked at her, filled with confusion.
Why does she want to help me?
What is her true purpose?
"Why do you want to help me?" I asked.
Li Qi smiled.
"Because we have a common enemy," she said.
"And," she paused, "I'm quite curious about you."
I frowned.
Curious?
What did that mean?
I was finding it harder to see through her.
Just then, a chilling wind swept by.
The temperature at the dock dropped suddenly.
I felt a shiver run down my spine.
The evil spirit doppelgänger of Liu Feng reappeared.
It let out a sharp shriek.
It lunged at me.
I was taken aback.
I quickly stepped back.
Li Qi acted swiftly.
He used a finely crafted dagger to block the attack.
The dagger clashed with the evil spirit, producing a piercing sound of friction.
"Quick! Use your knife!" Li Qi shouted.
I snapped back to re A Li ty.
I drew the Ancestral Kitchen Knife.
The knife plunged fiercely into the evil spirit's body.
A surge of black mist erupted forth.
The evil spirit let out a piercing scream.
Its form began to twist and contort.
Ultimately, it turned to ashes.
A chilling atmosphere lingered in the warehouse after the spirit's dispersal.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you," I said.
Li Qi smiled lightly.
"No need to thank me," she replied, "we are allies."
Her gaze fell upon the kitchen utensils at my waist.
A glimmer of greed flashed in her eyes.
"Your kitchenware is quite special," she said meaningfully.
A tightness gripped my heart.
I instinctively sensed danger.
I tightened my belt.
I didn’t answer her question.
Li Qi didn’t press further.
"Do you know what Liu Feng's ultimate plan is?" I asked.
Li Qi nodded.
"I do," she said. "He plans to use a certain bloody event to draw malevolent spirits onto ordinary people, thereby strengthening the evil spirits."
A jolt ran through me.
Has he gone mad?
Li Qi looked at me.
"Do you want to believe me?" she asked.
I hesitated.
Could I trust her?
Was it possible to believe her?
Her identity was suspicious.
Her intentions were unclear.
I was reluctant to trust her easily.
But
if I didn’t believe her,
what else could I do?
