Chapter 127 Apollo's Bowel(Part-1)
When a Cultivator reaches a certain stage, they no longer need to use a bathroom, as their body destroys the unnecessary 'objects' inside them. However, for those at the 4th-Step Foundation Building stage, they still need to relieve themselves once in a while, although they can use simple techniques to make their body destroy any foreign entities.
But Apollo doesn't know this fact and doesn't have such a technique, so he stood up from his chair and left his room. At the moment, he was the only one in room nine. He went out to find someone to ask for directions to the bathroom.
"Thank you," Apollo said before following the person's instructions.
Along the way, he observed the structure around him and couldn't help but sigh in amazement. "Cultivators are really amazing; they managed to reconstruct this mountain." Although the place looked simple, it still left an impression of grandeur.
Apollo walked for a while before he saw the path that led to the bathroom, but when he got there, there was a long line of people waiting to go inside. Fortunately, there were two bathrooms—one for men and the other for women—or it would have been very weird if this world only had open bathrooms.
Thinking about this, the Beggar began to wonder what their bathrooms looked like. Ever since he arrived in this world, he had only taken a sh*t and piss in places not many people knew about. It was his safe haven where he could think freely, and that's also where he greatly appreciated having the Cleaning Bead he bought from the System Store.
The bead cleaned whatever its light covered, including his 'disposals' and the places where they came from.
"Do they even have a toilet?" Apollo muttered. Seeing the line again, he concluded that it would take some time before his turn arrived. Shaking his head, he decided to go to another bathroom area.@@novelbin@@
Because the Martial Schools expected a great number of people to attend, they reconstructed the mountain to have as many bathrooms as possible to accommodate everyone's needs.
It only took Apollo a few minutes to reach the next area, but just like the first bathroom, there was another line of people waiting.
"Sh*t, actual sh*t," Apollo cursed. Why didn't they do this earlier? It's not like they were forbidden when the exam was still ongoing! Shaking his head, he went to another area, but it was still the same—people lining up, waiting to relieve themselves.
In the end, it took him almost twenty minutes just to end up not being able to use a bathroom.
"F*cking hell," Apollo sighed. "It seems like I'll have to find a secluded place."
With this in mind, he went down a corridor through twists and turns. However, he immediately stopped when he felt something strange in the air.
What's this? Apollo looked ahead and could 'see' the Qi moving in a certain pattern. Although it was subtle, it was enough for him to notice.
It looks like a wavelength, the Beggar thought, following the Qi slowly. He put the matter of his bowel behind him, as he was more curious about this phenomenon.
The Qi that moved in a pattern was in a left corridor a few meters away from him, and the closer he got, the stronger the wavelength became.
As he was about to turn left, he suddenly recalled something. This wavelength… can I tap into it? It was just a hunch, but somehow, Apollo felt like he could do it.
Apollo felt like he had seen this sort of wavelength in his previous life. Furthermore, it was the frequencies that made him more familiar with it. It was like he was looking at a signal being sent to a 'receiver.'
Stopping beside the wall, he closed his eyes to feel the Qi more closely. Although he couldn't see the surrounding structure, he could still sense the Qi around him, especially the wavelength-like Qi.
He followed the frequencies coming from it, matching them with his own by gathering the Qi behind him. Suddenly, a voice entered his mind, making him abruptly open his eyes.
"I didn't know you could make other people use Thought Transfer," someone said, the sound echoing inside his head.
"I just pulled you into my own Thoughts," another voice replied.
Apollo frowned. He couldn't recognize the second voice, but he knew the first one. Arke? And what's this Thought Transfer? Is that what they're doing right now?
"So, why did you call for me? Is it about that kid?" Arke asked.
"It's one of the reasons. Now that you brought it up, how did it go? Did you find the kid?"
"Of course I did," Arke said in a light tone. Clearly, he was confident in his words. "That Leone kid, I will bring his body to the mayor."
Apollo, who had been listening, couldn't help but tilt his head. Are they talking about me? And who's the person Arke is talking to? He also mentioned the mayor. Suddenly, he realized that he had stumbled upon a big secret.
He held his breath and continued to 'listen' to the conversation. Apollo didn't want them to know that he was eavesdropping. Furthermore, if logic served him right, the person Arke was talking to was probably the 'mastermind,' and behind this mastermind was another one: the mayor, that obese man on the platform.
Excitement, thrill, and anticipation of what could happen made Apollo's eyes shine brightly. Actually, the Beggar had already suspected that something was going on within the city, which was not surprising considering that, even in his previous life, shady business ran rampant in the shadows. He just didn't know what the business was here.
Apollo continued to listen to the cold and husky voice.
"Make sure you do your missions right, especially with that girl. Kill her, and this is the only chance we will give you. You know what will happen if you fail, right?"
"I know. I will probably get eaten. But I don't taste good," Arke's voice lowered, tinged with some bitterness.
Eaten? Apollo made a note of this word. There was probably another meaning that only they knew. And who is this girl they're talking about?
"Bel Helflick. She will prove to be a challenge for you. Are you confident?"
"Don't look down on me," Arke said, evidently offended by the man's words as his voice rose. "If I wanted to kill her, she wouldn't be able to do a thing."
"Oh, is that so? Just so you know, she can also enter the Void, and her progress is far beyond yours."
"But she's a b*tch and doesn't have the courage and battle wits that I do," Arke said.
"If you say so. I've already told you the consequences if you fail." Continue your journey at My Virtual Library Empire
"I got it."
