I Am Not The God Of Drama Chapter 1737

[ … words ]

The mother’s voice echoed in the empty night.

In the shadows on the side of the house, Li Laide pressed his lips slightly together. Those usually calm and collected eyes had already begun to turn red at this moment…

Holding the diary he just stole from the house out of thin air with both hands, he remained silent.

This diary recorded his past in school, and also recorded his motives for killing people. If the Chengtian Prefecture’s people discovered this thing, they would probably interrogate his mother again, or even monitor her long-term, affecting his mother’s daily life… If this happened, he wouldn’t be able to send money to his mother regularly.

So it was best not to leave this thing behind.

At the same time, the mother’s voice sounded again:

“Rider, come out and let Mother take a look… okay?”

“If the Chengtian Prefecture’s people interrogate me, I won’t say I’ve seen you, and I absolutely won’t place you in danger… I just want to take a look at you from afar, to know that you’re still living well.”

“Rider…”

In the darkness, a trace of conflict flashed past Li Laide’s gaze.

He didn’t go out immediately. Instead, he still stood in the shadows, listening to his mother’s calls in the distance becoming increasingly anxious… She seemed to be afraid that Li Laide had left again and she would never have the chance to see her child again, or perhaps her child fundamentally didn’t want to see her anymore.

The mother pushed the wheelchair forward with trembling hands. Perhaps because she was too anxious, she unexpectedly lost her center of gravity for a moment and fell heavily to the ground.

Hearing the abruptly stopped call and the muffled sound of a fall, Li Laide’s pupils slightly constricted.

He no longer hid his figure, but ran rapidly toward the main door!

However, the instant his figure was revealed, a flickering cold light abruptly burst forth from the blind spot at the door. The aura of the 6th-rank of the Path of the Soldier violently stabbed into Li Laide’s body like a bone-piercing cold blade!

Puchi——!!

Li Laide fundamentally didn’t expect there would be an ambush here. Even though he twisted his body with an extremely fast reaction, that cold light still pierced below his chest, and dripping fresh blood instantly sprayed out!

All this happened too suddenly. It was only when Li Laide fell to the ground like a dead dog that a look of shock surfaced in those deep blue pupils with hindsight!

Oh no…

His home had unexpectedly already been targeted?!

Li Laide looked up with difficulty, only to see his mother still fallen on the ground after losing her footing, struggling to get up… At the same time, puppet threads manifested from the nothingness, extending from her body all the way to the roof!

Above the roof, a tall and thin figure draped in a silver cloud robe was narrowing his eyes and looking down at Li Laide in the pool of blood:

“Finally waited for him to return… our half a month of squatting and guarding here wasn’t in vain.”

A middle-aged figure with a full beard, carrying an uneven Hunting Knife on his shoulder, unhurriedly walked out from the house… The knife that sneakily attacked Li Laide just now was slashed out by him.

“Although this kid isn’t old, he is craftier than other Paths of the Thief of the same rank. If we didn’t use some extreme methods, we really couldn’t catch him…”

“Tell me about it. But if you ask me, this kid’s state of mind is also steady enough. I controlled his mother to shout like that, and he still wouldn’t come out. If she hadn’t tripped and fallen, I’m afraid our half a month of squatting and guarding would still have been wasted.”

While speaking, puppet threads hung down from the air, binding onto the heavily injured Li Laide and thoroughly sealing off his ability to move.

Li Laide was only 5th-rank after all. Even if he had monstrous abilities and methods, facing the sneak attack and binding of two 6th-ranks, there was no way to break free. At this moment, he could only glare with those bloodshot eyes, the gaze looking at the two wishing he could cut them into a thousand pieces!

“What did you guys do to my mom?!!” The youth roared hysterically.

“Relax… she just fainted.” The figure on the roof faintly opened his mouth. “At any rate, I am also someone from the Esoteric Sect. In the words of the past, that’s called… oh, a righteous and orthodox sect, it wouldn’t go so far as to lay a hand on a commoner.”

“Bullshit righteous and orthodox sect!” The youth sneered coldly while coughing up blood. “You bunch of hypocritical trash, putting on an act while also using ordinary people to set up a trap and sneak attack… You’re really shameless.”

“Hehe, don’t you falsely accuse me, he was the one who thought of this method.” The roof figure smiled and pointed at the bearded man. “By the way… he isn’t someone from an official organization, just a registered idle Divine Path Wielder.”

The bearded man coldly swept a glance at him:

“Now you’re passing the buck to me? Then the bounty is seventy percent for me, thirty percent for you.”

“Just joking, don’t be so treating me as an outsider…”

The bearded man couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He walked straight in front of Li Laide, crouched down in the pool of blood, and grabbed Li Laide’s face with one hand, raising his head.

“Hmph, sure enough he’s a white Heretic.” Disdain flashed in the depths of the bearded man’s eyes. “Just a foreign refugee living under another’s roof more than three hundred years ago. Since you want others’ protection, you should obediently be a dog… At such a young age, you even steal and kill people?”

“These Heretics, they really are cheap in their bones. If you ask me, the Chengtian Prefecture should issue an order to eliminate them all, to prevent future troubles.”

Hearing the word “Heretic”, Li Laide’s bloodshot pupils were instantly enraged. He was like a lunatic whose scar had been fiercely poked. Completely disregarding the fresh blood surging from his torn wound, he struggled while roaring:

“You guys are the Heretics… your whole family are Heretics!”

“What did we do wrong?! We didn’t do anything! We just want to live well!! Just because we look different from you, why should we be cheap bones?! Why should we be Heretics?!”

Slap——!!

The bearded man fiercely slapped Li Laide, and Li Laide’s roaring abruptly stopped.

This slap hit very heavily. The already heavily injured Li Laide only felt his mind buzzing at this moment. His entire person was close to coma. The corner of his forehead weakly knocked into the pool of blood, fresh blood flowing along the wound…

“Alright, don’t talk nonsense with him.” The roof figure faintly opened his mouth. “Hurry up and kill him, and take his head to exchange for the bounty with the Chengtian Prefecture.”

“I don’t need you to teach me.”

The bearded man snorted coldly, lifting that uneven Hunting Knife. A dense cold light flickered in the air. His blade aimed at Li Laide, who was like a dead dog in the pool of blood, slowly raising…

The aura of the 6th-rank Path of the Soldier continuously spread. He took a deep breath, slashing down the Hunting Knife with full force!

The blade of the Hunting Knife tore open the air, emitting a sharp sonic boom. The bearded man didn’t hold back with this slash. He knew this kid had plenty of methods, so even at the final moment, he must go all out.

The vaguely conscious Li Laide knew that he had most likely failed to escape this calamity, a burst of bitterness rippling in his heart.

He didn’t expect that after finally escaping from Chen Ling with great difficulty, what awaited him was an even more terrifying death trap…

And then, in the instant his Hunting Knife was about to touch Li Laide’s neck, a pair of slender and fair fingers suddenly extended from the nothingness, lightly blocking the bearded man’s full-force strike.

The bearded man froze in place.
