Chapter 1381: Chapter 1381 – : Mental Illness
After Zhang Heng escaped from the bottom of the lake, he made a trip back to the cave and quietly took care of the two squads. At the same time, he also saw the mute old man, however, he soon realized that the little girl did not return after dark as promised.
Therefore, Zhang Heng comforted the mute old man. He first went to his cave to finish processing the half-finished arrows. Then, he collected some ammunition and a rifle from the bodies of the two squads, after that, he returned to the hillside, but the little girl was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Heng found a string of strange footprints on the ground. The owner of the footprints came alone, but when he left, there was a string of small footprints beside him.
Zhang Heng knew that the little girl must have been taken away by the intruder.
However, Zhang Heng looked at the time in his hand, but he did not rush to rescue her. If nothing went wrong, the girl was taken away by the search party. The group of people had entered the mountain to hunt him down, it was unlikely that they would make things difficult for a little girl. After asking him some questions, they would probably release her.
On the contrary, if he rushed up in such a hurry, it might make the group think of the relationship between him and the little girl, adding more trouble to the rescue.
Therefore, Zhang Heng ultimately decided to wait for a while. He waited for the pursuit team to send the little girl back to the cave before making his move. Then, he looked at the starfish on his wrist. There was less than an hour left until midnight.
Zhang Heng walked toward the pool again, and soon, he saw the drones in the sky above him again. Since he had already taken out a portion of the drones, the number of drones was significantly reduced. Furthermore, it was night, so his field of vision was much worse than during the day.

With Zhang Heng’s stealth, he could easily avoid the buzzing drones overhead.
However, when he returned to the pool, he found that it was exceptionally quiet. Zhang Heng’s gaze swept across the rows of tents, but there was no one outside. After a while.., four people walked out from the tent in the center.
One of the leaders was a man wearing sunglasses. He was holding a little girl in one hand and a red conch in the other.
He walked out of the tent and patted the conch twice before moving his mouth closer to it.
The next moment, a voice came into Zhang Heng’s ears. The voice was very close to him, as if someone was lying beside his ear and talking.
“Hello, Hello, Hello, can you hear me… Hello, I don’t think I’ve introduced myself before. My code name is commander. I’m from the Silver Wing Guild, and I’m also the commander of this capture operation.”
The man who called himself commander paused for a moment before continuing, “Don’t worry, I’m not around you. The reason why my voice can reach your ears is because of something called the sound transmitting conch. And to be precise, this thing doesn’t only transmit to you alone, but to everyone within five kilometers. It only works for three minutes at a time, so I’ll cut to the chase.
“I know you’re not happy with our operation this time. I can understand. You’re probably thinking about how to get rid of us, and we also want to have a good fight with the famous Simon. Since that’s the case, why don’t we all be more straightforward? We’ll send three people to fight you three times. You can have my guarantee. If you win all three of these matches, we’ll leave immediately and won’t bother you anymore. And if you lose…”

The commander chuckled, “Then there shouldn’t be anything in the future. You can think about it. Oh right, there’s one more thing. Our people found a little girl behind a hill. Did you leave her there? You Don’t have to worry about her. We’ll help you take care of her.”
As the commander spoke, he reached out and touched the little girl’s hair.
Three minutes had passed by the time he finished his last sentence.
“Do you think he will agree to our duel invitation?”The man holding the fire qilin behind him asked curiously.
“It doesn’t matter. He will definitely appear. I don’t know what their relationship is, but when Simon started the war with us, he was worried that it would affect this little girl. He even deliberately placed her behind the hill that was far away from the battlefield. We used her as bait. It’s impossible for Simon to be indifferent.”
“I actually don’t quite understand…”another man with a rosacea nose said, “Simon is the vessel that ke… well, master larue used. He knows about this, but he hasn’t committed suicide yet. This means that he doesn’t care whether he destroys the world or not. If that’s the case, why would he care about a little girl that he’s only known for a week?”
Since the four of them were waiting for Zhang Heng to show up, they had nothing better to do, so the commander patiently explained, “You guys don’t know him. I’ve been collecting information about him. Of course, because he’s always been alone in the dungeon, it’s not easy for him to find players who have worked with him. However, he has many teachers, classmates, neighbors, and so on. As long as he has the heart, he can easily piece together the trajectory of his life.”
“What do you see from this?”
“Many people think that his way of doing things is very chaotic and unpredictable. For example, his attitude towards the secular law. Sometimes, he would treat the law as nothing, just like the battle at Fuluo. He could kill many people without batting an eye and drive a car on the road. But sometimes, he would seem to respect the law more than anyone else. With his strength, there are many things that shouldn’t be so troublesome.”
“Isn’t it chaotic and unpredictable?”
“On the surface, it looks like that, but in fact, from my observation, he is a very principled person. It’s just that he doesn’t follow the secular laws, but the set of rules that he has set himself. You only need to know that in his rules, the one who wants to destroy the world is the master of laraya. I don’t know if he will pay for the mistakes of others, but this little girl… This little girl is indeed in danger because of him, so he won’t sit idly by.”
“Is he willing to save one person but not the entire world?”
“Crazy.”The man holding the fire qilin concluded, but then he sighed. “But this crazy person is ridiculously strong. Are you sure that we can kill him after luring him out?”
“I’m not sure.”The commander shook his head without thinking, “But if we fail this time, it proves that we can’t kill him at all. Everyone can also pack up and go home. Of course, if we can still return alive.”

Death Cultivator (Cultivator in Another World Vol. I & II)
Fight for your Soul. New cultivator Grady Hake thought his problems would disappear when he became a member of the strongest gang on the prison planet, but all it did was thrust him into the kill-or-be-killed world of the Eight-Legged Dragons. Now if he wants to survive, he’ll have to learn to cloak his deadly Spirit attacks in shadow, control the ancient revenant trying to take over his mind, and defeat the Angel of Death who dropped him on Van Diemann in the first place. Death Cultivator is sci-fi / isekai / wuxia / western / whatever, sort of like Borderlands meets Hunter x Hunter. I wanted to write something entertaining and actiony with that shonen vibe, so here's hoping this hits the spot. Warning: This isn't an isekai where the MC immediately becomes OP and starts revenge-killing everyone once he gets Death powers. Death is coming, but it's a slow burn. Like some of the reviewers for Volume I mentioned, the MC has a past and it effects his actions and choices in the new world.
