Global Game: I Have Portable Store

Black Snake Hand’s face showed a look of surprise, completely unaware of Chen Tiannan’s approach, so by the moment Chen Tiannan fired, he was too late to evade.

His body was pierced by four to five holes from the steel shot, yet no blood flowed out, appearing as if it were a dried-up body, merely a skin shell.

”What’s going on with you, you’re not dead yet!”

Black Snake Hand turned to look at Chen Tiannan, thinking that he had long been dead, full of confusion.

When a Ghost Shadow passes through a person’s body, it takes away part of the soul. Without a soul, humans cannot survive.

Chen Tiannan’s expression was calm, not denying this claim, tears continuously overflowed uncontrollably from the corner of his eyes, forming two streaks sliding down his cheeks,

”You’re right, I indeed won’t live long, but I’m more resilient than an average person, probably can live for a little longer.”

”During this time, it’s sufficient for me to kill you. You’ve betrayed your existence as a human, no different from those monsters.”

Before he finished speaking, he ran forward while reloading bullets into the Firearms.

Seeing Chen Tiannan’s calm demeanor, Black Snake Hand also felt a hint of unease, immediately recalled the Ghost Shadow entangled in Ximen Long, ”This time you can’t escape!”

Chen Tiannan remained indifferent to the charging Ghost Shadow, as if he didn’t see it, continuing to run forward, firing a second shot at Black Snake Hand.

The second shot again shredded the Ghost Shadow that was blocking Black Snake Hand, compared to Ximen Long’s flames, bullets from the Firearms seemed more effective.

Black Snake Hand’s eyes widened, more holes appeared on his body, his expression turned uneasy, retreated in large strides, yet seeing the Ghost Shadow had already reached Chen Tiannan, a hint of smile appeared on his face.

He realized, that Chen Tiannan was just scaring him, death was inevitable.

These Ghost Shadows are natural nemeses of humans, devouring human souls, even stronger Extraordinary ones can’t withstand being bitten.

But what happened next was entirely contrary to his expectations.

The first Ghost Shadow passed through Chen Tiannan’s body, it didn’t stop his steps, as if nothing had happened.

The second Ghost Shadow passed through similarly, as if through a wall.

The third Ghost Shadow directly entangled Chen Tiannan, yet still didn’t affect him, unable to stop his steps.

Something was wrong.

This time Black Snake Hand was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend why, yet didn’t forget to retreat.

This was fleeing.

But Chen Tiannan’s speed was evidently faster, as he closed within ten meters, waving a single hand, controlling golden sand grains to shoot explosively, once again piercing through Ghost Shadow, once again piercing Black Snake Hand’s body, creating a gap in his head, black mist permeated, without human tissue visible.

His face showed signs of panic, knowing he couldn’t escape, turned back to look at Chen Tiannan loudly questioning: ”Why, why can you resist Nameless Lord’s power!”

Chen Tiannan caught up, kicked him to the ground, pointed the Firearms at his forehead, calmly said: ”I had already sacrificed my soul before coming.”

Black Snake Hand laughed upon hearing, disdainfully said: ”Then how is your action any different from mine, fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps, do you think you still count as a human, a human without a soul?”

”Haha!”

He laughed manically, tears streaming from his eyes, seemingly genuinely amused.

Chen Tiannan remained calm-faced: ”I just think will determines everything!”

Accompanied by the calm voice, he pulled the trigger.

He shot Black Snake Hand’s head, the black mist within seemed to lose its vessel, drifted around, forming dark points of light, gradually vanished into the air, producing inconspicuous ripples.

”Nameless Lord?”

Chen Tiannan saw Black Snake Hand’s body disintegrate further, reloading bullets fired another shot, completely shattered his body, not appearing as human flesh, like broken tiles, pieces scattered on the ground.

After doing all this, he stood dazedly in place, looked back at Ximen Long who followed from behind: ”Stay away from here, I’ve learned some truths, don’t mind them, let them all die here.”

Ximen Long asked thoughtfully: ”What happened? You said you sacrificed your soul, who did you sacrifice it to, this is no small matter.”

Chen Tiannan fell into brief silence, uncertain how to answer, ponderingly said: ”Some mysterious entity, I answered its call, made a deal, only by sacrificing my soul could I deal with this guy.”

He stared at Black Snake Hand’s body on the ground, emotions unprecedentedly calm, perhaps this was the feeling of losing a soul, no sadness, no joy, no anger, no sorrow, driven merely by simple will, perhaps his lingering will would dissipate at any moment.

The true Chen Tiannan probably was already dead, with the soul left the world.

Ximen Long stared at him for a while, suddenly said: ”Is your soul precious? Or special? Why would that strong entity make a deal with you, why not with me.”

”...” Chen Tiannan fell into brief silence, recalled that distant conversation, still clearly remembered its content: ”Seems because I’m in some sort of half-dead state, therefore able to respond to that call, complete this deal.”

Ximen Long pointed to the direction of the Tentacle Monster, again asked: ”What’s the matter with those people, why say let them die there?”

Chen Tiannan said expressionlessly: ”If I’m not mistaken, some of them aren’t human, they don’t really exist, are mere illusions, only when they appeared, our subconscious changed, thus didn’t recognize anything wrong.”

Ximen Long’s eyes widened upon hearing this: ”So that’s it! I sensed something was wrong, without your reminder, I couldn’t think of it.”

”I wondered why some of their names became obscure, thought it’s because of getting older, memory declining.”

He sensed a trace of wrongness, but couldn’t think deeply, couldn’t understand where it was wrong, only became clear after Chen Tiannan’s reminder.

Chen Tiannan continued: ”I’m sure I’m real, and so are you.”

He turned to look at the short plump Ninja team member beside, said: ”He probably isn’t either, soul incomplete, body incomplete.”

Ximen Long suddenly looked at the person, felt a moment of confusion, recalled scenes one after another, seemingly always with the person’s presence, he was always in this team, ”How is that possible! He’s called Zeng A Long, always in our team, Zeng A Long you agree, right.”

Zeng A Long nodded repeatedly, awkwardly smiled: ”Chen Tiannan Captain, you must be mistaken, how could a living person like me be false.”

Chen Tiannan glanced calmly at him, said no more, instead continued the previous topic: ”My will may dissipate at any moment, so better inform you of some intel, then you relay to others.”

”Theoretically, those non-existent people will become increasingly real with time, until they turn into true humans!”
