The collapse and commotion at the edge of Black Alley surprisingly didn't draw much attention.
This was because most of Black Alley's residents had been gathered by Crazy Rat to the front lines of West Street to launch a night raid on the blockading Stationed Army.
From a high-altitude perspective, steam billowed, and steel clashed with flesh and blood.
Listening closely, roars and wails, gunshots and continuous fighting filled the air.
The origin of all this unrest might have just been the flip of a small coin.
Reirfu felt the continuous “luck” emanating from the coin, his heart sinking to rock bottom.
A butcher, he was the butcher who had set everything in motion!
He had made the coin, and he knew better than anyone what the true cost was.
“Rumble—”
The building had finished collapsing, and dust obscured the moonlight.
“Bang—!”
A bullet pierced through the haze, flying rapidly towards Reirfu's forehead.
As if he had foreknowledge, Reirfu subtly shifted a step to the side, perfectly dodging the bullet.
But the next second, Li Andy suddenly burst through the dust, his silver sword striking directly at Reirfu's vital point.
Reirfu tried to move, but his clothes suddenly shrieked and tightened, pinning him in place.
In this critical moment, his eyeballs rolled.
The trajectory of the sliding silver sword inexplicably changed, narrowly grazing his hat.
Then, he shattered the spiritual essence attached to his clothes, changing his position and instantly opening up a distance of tens of meters.
Immediately after, he pulled a thread, drawing disaster upon the other party.
Somewhere in the ruins, an explosion suddenly occurred, sending debris and steel bars flying towards Li Andy.
But those creations suddenly animated and pieced themselves together mid-air, their attack instantly turning into a light-speed kneeling slide.
“My lord! I am truly a loyal subject!”
Reirfu's brows furrowed.
It wasn't that he hadn't fought before; on the contrary, if there was a ranking of abilities within their circle, his bizarre ability to create unexpected misfortune would definitely rank high.
But the other party's ability to control and animate creations was clearly more sinister and strange, and it seemed to naturally counter his own.
‘You can block one accident... but what about a series of them coming one after another!’
Reirfu violently pulled all the threads, and the trajectories of various things were shifted and distorted.
Things that were stable began to shake; things that were lying on the ground flew into the sky; places that were safe... became dangerous!
Chaos and disaster swept in.
Li Andy frowned, feeling as if he were in a collapsing mine shaft.
He then stopped restraining the spiritual essence within his body, allowing it to surge freely.
Various objects came to life, making the already chaotic scene even more abstract and bizarre!
Many animated objects coalesced into a giant octopus, using its tentacles to swat away incoming items while earnestly preaching to them.
More and more scattered objects grew limbs, shouting “Time to eat, time to eat!” as they pounced on Reirfu.
Reirfu's eyeballs reversed, preparing to modify his trajectory.
But the hat on his head suddenly began to pull his hair:
“Why wear a hat when you have hair! Are you looking down on me?!”
At the same time, his boots began to twist wildly, as if disgusted:
“Ugh!! I have four things I don't eat! Get out of my mouth! Get out!”
The clothes that had just returned to normal began to act perversely again, muttering “Darling, suffocation is normal” as they continuously strangled his neck.
Even his innermost pants gradually showed signs of animation, teasing dangerous nerves.
If Aya and Emi had witnessed the scene at that moment, they would surely have recalled that disgusting battle.
Reirfu's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, tearing off the hat that had chewed half his hair, slapping away the spirit attached to his body, and quickly shifting his position, causing several “mad dogs” that followed closely to miss their mark.
“Bang bang—!”
Li Andy fired continuously, but Reirfu's eyeballs reversed, forcibly distorting the bullet trajectories again.
What the latter didn't expect, however, was that the spiritual essence on the bullets actively flew out and reattached itself to his body.
This time, his clothes were no longer as gentle as before, but transformed into stinging torture devices, gnawing at his body.
Reirfu groaned, steeling himself to use his ability to rip apart the expensive outer robe and inner lining.
His not-so-sturdy middle-aged body was exposed to the air, his skin covered in blood marks.
His boots also couldn't bear the strain, directly self-destructing and falling apart.
Reirfu gnashed his teeth, looking utterly disheveled.
Li Andy didn't give him a chance to breathe, raising his gun again.
Zorro, who had been frustrated and unable to hit anything, immediately roared:
“You old bastard, eat my XX!”
“Bang—!”
A bullet, far exceeding the power and caliber of a revolver, shot out, heading straight for Reirfu's heart.
Reirfu gritted his teeth, blood seeping from the corners of his eyes as he desperately distorted the bullet's trajectory.
But the bullet was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and in that brief moment, he could only pull it off course slightly.
With a “thud,” his right arm instantly exploded.
Five blood-stained coins clinked to the ground, all landing face up, and surprisingly showing faint signs of merging.
Reirfu sneered, his sole remaining eyeball suddenly bursting.
Suddenly, Li Andy felt his soul being peeled away, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself holding the revolver, aimed at his own forehead.
The trigger pulled, “Bang—!”
The bullet didn't fly out; Zorro voluntarily blew up the barrel.
“Cough cough, Mom, I need to go back home and sleep for a bit...”
With that, the talkative Zorro fell silent, and that special spiritual essence drilled back into Li Andy's body, leaving only a damaged, spiritless revolver.
Li Andy frowned, looking at Reirfu.
The other party's right arm had returned to normal.
But his eyes were empty and hollow, and where his single eye had been, blood continuously seeped out.
What price did Reirfu pay just now... to reverse the original destiny?!
“Cough... cough cough...”
Reirfu painfully clutched his neck, his hollow eye sockets staring at Li Andy with immense fear,
“You... you're not from the cult!”
“You... what exactly are you?!”
Li Andy frowned, preparing to step forward with his sword to finish off this guy who was about to lose control.
Reirfu, however, laughed maniacally,
“I saw it....”
“I saw everything!”
“Teacher was wrong! He was wrong! We were all wrong!”
“This isn't the original fate trajectory!!”
“It's changed! Everything has changed!”
“Haha.. hahaha....”
Reirfu died laughing, collapsing to the ground with a thud.
The five blood-stained coins in his hand spun on the ground, overlapping and coalescing, gradually turning into a single coin with the sun and moon on opposite sides, and silver and gold faces.
Li Andy furrowed his brow, realizing that the appearance of this relic: coin of destiny was significantly different from the one in his memory!
The side representing the sun was silver;
And the side of the moon was gold.
Completely opposite to the gold sun and silver moon in the game.
Was the original “front” still the front?
He recalled the description in the game, trying to find clues.
【relic: coin of destiny】
【Secret Phrase: A swaying destiny is not destiny】
【Ability 1: Destiny Sway】 【Description: According to the side it lands on, it changes or adjusts the luck of the coin-tosser's upcoming actions. If it's heads, you will be very successful; if it's tails, you will definitely encounter many setbacks.】
【Ability 2: Destiny Premonition】 【Description: You can roughly sense what might happen next. However, what you sense and what you interpret may not be consistent, or even be the opposite.】
【Side effect: When carried, you will involuntarily toss objects with two sides. Excessive use will make you increasingly dependent. You might even want to toss something when going to the bathroom. If you accidentally toss the relic: coin of destiny, you'd best pray it lands on heads.】
【Recommendation: Use sparingly, unless you have a saved backup.】
【Developers' Message: The great death and the small life are not arranged by destiny, but defined by Person of the Principle. Life and death have no difference. So, do you believe in destiny?】
