Chapter 578: Extra Edition

Chapter 579: Extra!

Jian Changsheng was suffering from insomnia again.

As a ray of sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains and reflected in his bloodshot eyes, Jian Changsheng, who hadn't slept all night, sighed bitterly and helplessly.

If life were a play, he felt his own life would undoubtedly be an absurd tragedy.

From childhood, everything he did felt like purgatory difficulty. Born the son of a servant to the Young Master of the Constellation Merchant Guild, he grew up humble and cautious. He was a poor student, not particularly bright, and struggled for eighteen years. Just when he finally embarked on the Divine Path to change his fate, he was killed before even leaving home...

Before even reaching shore after crossing the sea, he was dragged away to have his soul shattered for evidence. He barely escaped from prison, only to be sent to the Aurora Base as a guinea pig, pursued and attacked by a seventh-tier Sirius. His only kind relatives, his uncle's family, froze to death in the Aurora Domain. When he finally reached the Mortal World Domain, he was inexplicably almost blown up by his own teammates... Jian Changsheng counted on his fingers but couldn't keep track of how many times the goddess of fate had trampled him.

To top it all off, six months ago, Chen Ling helped him get a perfect start in Mortal World City. He had sworn he would succeed this time, but in the end, everything still turned into a mess.

Jian Changsheng couldn't understand what he had done wrong...

He stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time, then struggled out of bed and slowly walked to the mirror. Looking at his disheveled, bloodshot reflection, he took a deep breath:

"Come on, Xiao Jian! You can do it!"

"No one stays unlucky forever... you have to keep going, even if you have to grit your teeth!"

"Things will definitely take a turn for the better!!"

Jian Changsheng chugged down two gulps of self-encouragement, splashed his face with cold water, and then walked straight out of the bedroom.

In the living room, the curtains were still tightly drawn, completely blocking out any potential prying eyes from outside. The entire room felt like a sealed cage.

Under the dim light, Heart 9 sat alone on the sofa, seemingly leisurely brewing tea.

He looked up at Jian Changsheng and casually said:

"Didn't sleep well again?"

"...No."

"This won't do. I told you, you need to maintain a good mindset."

"I'm trying my best to maintain it; otherwise, I would have gone crazy after all these days!" Jian Changsheng sighed, slumping onto the sofa.

He stared at the ceiling above, as if remembering something.

"Oh, by the way, what was all that commotion yesterday? Have you found out?"

"In our current situation, how can we investigate? Who can investigate?" Heart 9 shook his head. "We can't even leave the casino, let alone look into what's happening outside... The only thing for sure is that it wasn't an earthquake, but a large-scale battle involving high-tier Divine Path practitioners."

"High-tier Divine Path battle... and large-scale? It shouldn't be this chaotic in Mortal World City."

"Exactly. The Floating Life Scroll has the deepest roots in the Mortal World Domain. With them around, major disturbances usually don't happen... Something big must have happened yesterday."

"Who would dare to directly confront the Floating Life Scroll in the Mortal World Domain?"

Jian Changsheng fell into thought.

Not just him, but Heart 9 and the other Twilight Society members still in the casino were also frowning, completely at a loss.

"Have some tea first. Anyway, it didn't affect us, so there's no need to panic." Heart 9, being the most optimistic, unhurriedly poured a cup of tea for Jian Changsheng and handed it to him.

Jian Changsheng sighed and picked up the cup, drinking.

At the same time, a loud voice rang out from outside the window:

"Extra! Extra!!"

"Yesterday, the Floating Life Scroll crushed the Twilight Society!!"

"The Twilight Society's stronghold in Mortal World City was uprooted! Twilight Society members Spade 6 and Heart 9, having nowhere to go, both died on the spot! Domain fugitive Heart 6 died instantly!!"

"Extra! Extra!!"

"Yesterday, the Floating Life Scroll crushed the Twilight Society..."

Pfft—!!!!

Jian Changsheng and Heart 9 simultaneously spat out their hot tea, splashing each other's faces.

"What the hell???"

Jian Changsheng didn't even have time to be disgusted with Heart 9; he wiped his face with the back of his hand, every cell in his body filled with shock.

Not only him, but the usually jovial and cynical Heart 9 also gaped, his mouth wide enough to fit a pigeon egg. He was stunned for a few seconds before speaking:

"Who had nowhere to go? Who died on the spot??"

Diamond 10, standing nearby, pondered for a moment.

"If I'm not deaf... it seems to be both of you."

Jian Changsheng stared blankly for over ten seconds before managing to blurt out, "Is news in the Mortal World Domain always this fake?"

"It doesn't seem fake." By the window, Club J pulled back the curtain and glanced outside, saying calmly, "The plainclothes officers staking out the area are gone, and the Floating Life Scroll agents who were secretly monitoring us have also disappeared... It seems they really aren't paying attention to us anymore."

"How can this be..."

"Quick, send someone to buy a newspaper!!"

A few minutes later, a brand new newspaper was brought into the casino. Several Twilight Society members gathered around it, forming a circle to read it carefully.

"After thorough investigation by the Police Bureau and the Floating Life Scroll, it has been confirmed that the Grand World Dance Hall was a Twilight Society stronghold..."

"Twilight Society members, led by Heart 6, Spade 6, and Heart 9, had been lurking for a long time, secretly planning terrorist attacks against high-ranking officials in Mortal World City..."

"Through Police Bureau Director Wang Jincheng's bold deductions and careful verification, he ultimately cooperated with the Twilight Society's own schemes to eliminate the three members, with none escaping..."

"Among them, Spade 6 remained unrepentant before death, shouting 'Never surrender!' before self-destructing, which clearly demonstrates the profound brainwashing and evil nature of the Twilight Society..."

Everyone's expressions grew stranger, and the air suddenly fell silent.

They understood every word on the newspaper, but put together, it was as incomprehensible as a divine text...

"How could this be... Is there another Twilight Society stronghold in Mortal World City? And what about this Spade 6 and Heart 9?"

"Now there are only two possibilities: either this is fake news orchestrated by Mortal World City itself, or someone is impersonating us?"

"Self-orchestration is unlikely. The Police Bureau and the Floating Life Scroll also have their reputations to uphold. If they fabricate fake news now, wouldn't they be humiliating themselves when we appear? They shouldn't be that stupid."

"But who in this world would be so misguided as to impersonate the Twilight Society..."

While the others were deep in thought, Jian Changsheng stared blankly at the newspaper, his expression gradually becoming more animated!

This trick!

This method!!

It was too familiar, truly too familiar...

In this world, there was likely only one person capable of pulling off something like this, leading the entire Mortal World in circles...

A smile unconsciously formed on Jian Changsheng's lips. His unlucky and frustrating fate seemed to be gradually reversing due to someone's arrival.

He wouldn't be unlucky forever, because...

"Heart 6 is back."

Jian Changsheng smiled, stating with absolute certainty.
