Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1278: Fate Planter

["Fate Planter? Lawsen?" The alien with pus all over his body stood up and said, "Never heard of it. Is it very powerful?"

The figure in the darkness said, "I don't know if Li is strong or not, but that's the guy I don't want to provoke the most. His ability is too strange. It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of his name, but you should know about what happened three years ago, right?"

The bodies of the surrounding aliens trembled slightly. Obviously, the so-called incident three years ago was not a small matter.

That's no small matter.

In this city, long streets and alleys are very common. Blackstone Avenue was only one of the streets. Before this, it was unknown. It was not until that incident three years ago that the street became familiar. One night three years ago, more than two hundred people died on this street. Blood fights like this were not uncommon in the city. However, if it was a two hundred to one battle, and the death of the deceased was terrifying, then it would be enough to be remembered.

The next day, Wu Shi Street suddenly turned from a street without any plants into a green forest. This huge contrast was something that people couldn't help but be impressed with. That day, the buildings on the streets were occupied by strange plants from all over the universe, and the 200 dead people became fertilizer for these plants. Many plants grew directly from corpses.

They emerged from the corpse's eyes, mouth, and even blood vessels. At that time, the people who cleared the plants were also terrified when they saw ordinary plants. It was clear that the scene on the streets at that time had caused them serious psychological barriers.

The alien who was about to attack a passer-by murmured after shaking the pus off his head, "You mean that was done by the green-skinned guy just now?"

"It's him. I saw him turn those guys who wanted to hit on him into potted plants." The figure in the darkness said, "So you just managed to recover your life."

Fate Master Lawsen, the man who impressed the local ruffians, stopped in front of a small shop. The architectural style of this store was extremely strange. Dark red lights came out from the window of the store, making the atmosphere in the store even more oppressive. However, the man did not hesitate to open the door. The moment the door opened, the air filled with various odors drilled into his nostrils. Looking around, the goods in the shop were all biological organs, limbs, and crystal cores. They were placed on different shelves, and on the counter hung a row of arms with different switches, all of which were air-dried and corroded, and could last for a long time without any damage.

Behind the counter was a skinny old man. His head was very big, but his body was very small. There were no eyeballs on his head. His eyeballs grew at the front of the two tentacles. When Lawsen came in, one of the tentacles turned to Lawsen. The front eye blinked and the old man chuckled, "It's you. It's been a long time since we last saw each other."

"It has indeed been quite a long time. If I hadn't contacted you beforehand, I wouldn't have known that you had moved here."

The old man chuckled and said, "It's all thanks to you. I did a good job on Blackstone Street. I didn't expect that one night would completely change my life."

"Then don't blame me." Lawsen threw the heavy backpack on the counter. "Look at the goods?"

"Alright, let me see what you've brought." The old man took out a single-rimmed pair of glasses from under the counter and put it on one of his tentacles. Then, he opened the backpack on the counter and rolled out a lot of things. These items were all made of biological materials and contained in transparent storage boxes of various sizes. From the eyeball to the claws, from the tongue to the organs, there was even a complete head. The old man flipped through these things and cried out in alarm from time to time.

"The front teeth of the sharp-toothed beast are still paired. Good stuff."

"The poisonous water spider's poisonous sac, um, looks good."

"Take a look at what this is, Sorians' heads. I heard that after they die, their skulls will be completely golden. It's rare for you to keep it so well. After peeling and fleshing, you'll get a complete golden skull. This is worth a lot of money."

Lawsen watched the old man jump up and down calmly from the side. He didn't seem to be anxious at all. After nearly an hour, the old man finally finished looking at the goods. He put everything away first, then leaned half of his body against the counter and said, "I've put all these away. What do you want to pay for them with? Adahua Planet's moon diamond or Agares's abyss crystal?"

"Moon Diamond, the Abyss Crystal is too flashy. I don't want to attract the attention of the Star Alliance." Said Lawsen calmly.

"Alright, a hundred moon diamonds. I guarantee that each one is of the highest quality."

"Too few, 150 pills."

"Heavens, Lawsen, my friend. Don't you know that I'm always fair in my business? There are some things that only I dare to accept. It's very difficult for you to sell them yourself, such as the golden skulls of the Sorians." The old man stretched out three fingers with a painful expression, "130!"

"140, no matter how little, I would rather take it to the Luo Bu Fair for auction."

"Deal." The old man jumped down and said, "Wait." Then, he went straight to the room behind the store. A moment later, he brought a suitcase. Open the chest. It's full of crescent-shaped diamonds. This is Adahua Planet's moon diamond. It's also the currency circulating in most star systems. It's also the highest-grade type. This box of moon diamonds could even buy a small planet, which showed that this was not a small fortune.

"Dian Dian, I'm not responsible for leaving this door."

Lawsen smiled and closed the box, "I can rest assured that I will make a deal with you."

"That's why trading with you is the happiest." The old man tilted his head and looked at his guest. "Speaking of which, it seems that you have become much stronger after three years of absence. Just your bearing is different from before. Don't look at me like this. Even though I'm not like you guys who just waved their hands and killed off a whole bunch of people, I admit that my vision is not bad. I've never been wrong when looking at people and goods."

"Your vision is always accurate." Lawsen's words undoubtedly acknowledged the old man's conjecture, "There has indeed been some luck these past few years, but people like us have to travel for three meals. How can we live a peaceful life like you?"

The old man laughed dryly and said, "Bullshit, when I was younger, I was even more tired than you. I'm getting old, so I have some money to open a shop for the rest of my life. Don't be so jealous of me. By the way, how long are you going to stay this time?"

"Three or two days, maybe a month or two, depending on the situation."

At this moment, the ground shook, but stopped for a moment. Lawsen narrowed his eyes and said, "This place is almost finished."

"That's right. At most, you can hold on for another 40 to 50 years. Many people are starting to move. If you come at this time next year, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me." The old man pointed at the box in Lawsen's hand and said, "I give you a piece of advice. Don't pay with the monthly diamond, unless you want to repeat the incident on Blackstone Street three years ago. To be honest, the higher-ups will not pretend to have not seen such a thing happen again. I guess the information is already in front of the big shots the moment you enter the city."

"I see. Then I'll probably see you on another planet next time." Lawsen picked up the suitcase and turned to leave the store.

After closing the shop, the old man murmured, "Perhaps there won't be another time."

There is no difference between day and night in the city.

After all, it was in the depths of the earth, so the street lights were always on. After leaving the store, Lawsen turned a corner alley, crossed two arched bridges, crossed a block, and went into a quiet tunnel. The route of the city extends in all directions, and the streets, arch bridges and tunnels constitute a three-dimensional traffic network. Electronic maps are set up at every important junction to allow people to identify directions.

Lawsen glanced at the electronic map at the entrance of the tunnel and roughly decided where to settle down. He looked back intentionally or unintentionally. At the corner of the street behind him, a figure flashed and disappeared.

He was followed.
