Chapter 361: Chapter 328: Fate, Indescribable

"Can you help our village solve its painful problem?"

The villager holding the torch looked up at the chubby kid in the Sophora tree with disbelief.

"Absolutely!"

Kudaka Yuusuke raised his head, assuring them with unwavering confidence.

"I am the chosen one! Born to defeat the evil dragon in your village and give you all a better tomorrow as a brave warrior!"

His tone was resolute and his attitude firm, only his nearly spherical figure was somewhat off-putting.

"Let’s bring this, uh, person down."

Finally, an old man with a smoking pipe stood up, scrutinized Yuusuke for a long time, and then began to speak.

"Decades ago, our village had a weird fat man just like you, equally confident, but after he went up the mountain, he never came back."

The old man’s words triggered memories for many of the older villagers; indeed, such an event had occurred, but most of the younger generation was unaware of it.

Ah?

The expression on Kudaka Yuusuke’s face was not much different from Justin’s a moment ago.

"Go up the mountain?"

"Yes? If you want to solve our troubles, at the very least, you should go up the mountain and kill a few of those harmful beasts to dampen their spirits. We villagers dare not even leave our homes at night."

.....

On the other hand, Justin was also frowning and deep in thought.

"Are you saying that the woman who went up the mountain to expel demons never came back?"

"That’s right. She said she wanted to free us, to leave this place, she had to go to the mountain. Seriously, I say it’s all an act. We don’t need saving. Our village might be poor, but everyone is happily poor and quite satisfied with the present."

The older folks remembered this matter distinctly because it involved outsiders talking nonsense that they didn’t understand, leaving a strong impression.

Is the key point on the mountain?

Justin had always thought the focus should be on the mysterious teacher, could he have been mistaken?

No...

No, that’s not right!

The problem is definitely with the teacher!

If going to the mountain was correct, why did all the previous chosen ones disappear?

Hmm...

No, wait, maybe it isn’t right to say the exact path to clear the level isn’t on the mountain. Perhaps after clearing it, they left directly from the mountain?

In that case, it would be normal for the villagers to see chosen ones enter the mountain and never come out, wouldn’t it?

Now, Justin faced two choices.

First, to find that off-putting teacher. No matter what, that guy had to be a mini-boss level character.

Second, to go up the mountain...

But right now he neither knew what to seek from the teacher nor why to go up the mountain.

"Uh, may I ask, did the person with the same hair as me suddenly decide to go up the mountain?"

The old woman thought about it, her age and the passage of time meant she didn’t remember the details all that clearly.

"At that time... the beautiful young girl seemed to have sought out the village teacher first, and then decided to ascend the mountain."

Oh?

Justin had a flicker of realization; with this information, it made sense.

After all, if the teacher was specially marked in the rules by Kaidan, there had to be a reason for his existence, dangerous or not.

[There is a private school in the village, where you can take classes, but you must not look into the teacher’s eyes.]

This rule seemed very dangerous but provided a clear hint.

That is, you can [take classes], but must not [look into his eyes].

As long as he didn’t look into the teacher’s eyes, he might be able to extract some secrets about clearing the level from his mouth.

And this secret likely required the chosen one to go up the mountain...

With that, everything seemed much more rational, but Justin had no desire to go to the private school in the middle of the night; he could wait for daybreak.

One last thing he needed to confirm was whether he could survive three days without doing anything.

Hmm?

Justin paused as he was eating a bun. Oh, surviving normally, it seems he wouldn’t make it past three days; the rules already made that clear.

[Villagers are all carnivores; be cautious around vegetarians.]

Beware of the [vegetarian], while the chosen one is eating [meat].

His intuition told him that after three days of devouring meat, his body was sure to undergo some unfathomable transformation...

...

Wang Dayong was restless tonight.

Yes, he was suffering from insomnia yet again, for that man was the reason.

Was it a clash of destinies or something?

How could he still run into him even after being transferred to a mountainous area? Wasn’t that a bit too much?

Should he come clean...

They met in a mental hospital, casting a shadow over his life.

Then in Hengshui Prison, they met again, and the beating he received left him with lifelong psychological scars.

Learning from the past, he resolved to turn over a new leaf, act more cunningly, give in immediately upon encountering the lad, and beg for mercy.

Of course, that’s precisely what he did.

Moreover, it has to be said, his last job as a train station master in Lunte City was actually quite nice.

Although the lackluster position of doing odd jobs didn’t match his nine-star capability, it had its perks for being stable!

After all, Wang Dayong wasn’t someone with lofty ambitions; he was merely a bit lustful.

A station master’s salary wasn’t low, and he could even get food and drink on the company’s dime. Being supernatural, he didn’t fall sick, so there was no need for all kinds of messy insurance policies.

With a decent salary, he could indulge himself at Red Romance and Nightly Passion without worry.

The ladies there were appealing and very skilled. He didn’t need to trick or force them, they served him wholeheartedly; the key point was he could just walk away without any responsibility after having fun.

Honestly...

That was the happiest period of Wang Dayong’s life.

"Alas~"

Wang Dayong sighed with a sense of nostalgia.

"Just that the good times didn’t last."

You just had to clear the level, huh?

Wrecking the economy of the entire Lunte City, wasn’t that a bit underhanded?

The city was out of money, so Wang Dayong’s salary was cut again and again. Eventually, he couldn’t afford his pleasures and had to shamelessly ask his boss for a job change.

Submitting a transfer request for the fourth time in just half a year, even the most patient leaders would be annoyed!

Right?

In a fit of anger, his boss transferred Wang Dayong to this godforsaken place.

Originally, Da Yong had resigned himself to his fate, planning to establish some achievements before asking the boss for a transfer to a place he liked.

But before his career could take off, the very madman who kept destroying his livelihood arrived again...

If he came clean, wouldn’t it just wreck his job again? If he asked for another job transfer, Wang Dayong didn’t even want to think where the boss might send him...

"Never thought I’d meet him again; fate, sometimes it truly speaks in mysterious ways..."

"What’s so mysterious?"

A wise voice emerged behind Wang Dayong, causing his body to stiffen instantly.
