Chapter 252: Depart
Jiang Cheng spat out the shell and wiped his fingers with the wet napkin, “Not yet.”
Fatty looked worried. Even the crab leg didn’t look that delicious anymore. He looked at the Doctor like he was going to die. “Doctor,” Fatty sounded sad. He hesitated and said, “It has been three days. Why is there no news at all?”
“Tsk.” Jiang Cheng raised his head. He frowned and stared at Fatty’s big face. “Why does it feel like you’re sad that I’m not going to die?” Jiang Cheng reminded him, “Even though I’m an orphan, even if I don’t come back, you are not inheriting my stuff!” He paused before raising his voice, “I’d advise you to stop thinking about that!”
Fatty looked like he was about to cry. Even though he knew there was something wrong with the Doctor’s brain, the fact that he was still thinking about inheritance at this point was maddening. Furthermore, the Doctor didn’t have anything left to be inherited.
“Doctor, please shut up,” Fatty said, “I’m only concerned about you. This time, I won’t be there to help you. You’re facing this next mission alone.”
“Who said I’m going alone?” Jiang Cheng puffed his cheeks.
“Can Xia Meng be considered a teammate?” Fatty looked at Jiang Cheng with confusion, “Doctor, I have a statement that you might not like to hear. She wants to kill you more than the ghosts do.”
Jiang Cheng said naturally, “Won’t you be there too?”
“Me?”
“Yes.” Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes. “Aren’t you coming with me? Are you that heartless to let me go alone?”
Fatty came to his senses and blurted, “The fuck!” However, that was pointless to Jiang Cheng. He only used a few words to convince Fatty. He provided a few examples. If he were not there, Fatty might be drawn into a separate nightmare mission. He could be captured and dismembered by the ghosts cause he’d be alone. Fatty’s face paled mainly because that was not impossible. He knew himself very well. The reason he could survive so long was all because of the Doctor. Even though the Doctor was very annoying, he was reliable.
“You’ll know when we’re there.”
Their luggage was simple. To hide themselves, neither of them wore the clothes they had worn in the nightmare realm. After locking the office door, Jiang Cheng led Fatty to a nearby warehouse market. The place had many stalls that sold clothes. There was a big crowd, and the goods they sold were cheap.
Jiang Cheng and Fatty picked out clothes that were suitable for them. The clothes were stretchable and light. They also bought some good shoes. After all, no one wanted to have their shoes broken down while they were being chased by the ghosts.
Then, they hopped in a cab and left the city. The destination was rather secluded. The driver kept glancing at them, worried that they would rob him.
“Why do you keep staring at us?” Fatty grumbled, “We are going to pay.”
“It... It’s nothing.” The driver smiled. “Things are uneasy lately. You can’t be too careful.” Sensing that they were not bad people, the driver became more at ease. “Friends... are you two locals?” The driver asked.
“No,” Jiang Cheng answered.
“Are you going back to the city at night?”
“It depends.”
The driver thought about it and eventually said, “Friends, listen to me. If there’s nothing important, don’t come back here again.”
