Chương 18: Gruesome Scenario

Shi Tian didn't know if his plan would work, but it was better to attempt it than not do anything.

If it didn't work in the end, then it would just mean he was back to square one. However, if it did work, then he would have successfully entered Gearits without much hiccup.

The pros outweigh the cons in this scenario, and if worst comes to worst, he'll just continue to wander out in the open.

Sometime later, Shi Tian returned to the scene, and sure enough, not a single person had bothered to clean the corpse, allowing it to rot there. And just like Yolanda's corpse had experienced, signs of Benmos' corpse decaying were showing.

However, the decaying process seemed to be a bit slower compared to Yolanda, which might have the pollution factor added. After all, the pollution in this area wasn't as corrosive as the previous location he was at.

"Go and drag his corpse away for a proper burial since your conscience is hitting you." Shi Tian subsequently shouted at Krissie, making it seem like they came back for the corpse because of her idea.

Although Krissie was dumbfounded initially, she was clever enough to quickly catch on to what Shi Tian was thinking.

She might not know why Shi Tian wanted to come back for the corpse, but she was sure that he did not want others to suspect a thing. Hence, Shi Tian scolded her and commanded her to bring Benmos' corpse away from the public eye.

Dragging the corpse away with the little amount of strength she had, Shi Tian made zero reaction to her struggle and walked ahead.

And when the ongoing lookers noticed this, they were confused but no longer paid attention to the matter. A corpse was a corpse, and what happened to Benmos had nothing to do with them.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian was glad that his plan worked as planned. Otherwise, if he had to waste another Esper Special Bullet, then it would have been disastrous.

The Esper Special Bullet was modified differently compared to the normal bullets, and Shi Tian could tell the firepower of the Esper version was ferocious.

However, the main problem was that the Esper Special Bullet left in his inventory was extremely low, so he needed to spend it wisely.

Sometime later, they returned to the barren wasteland where the air pollution was starting to get worse, and Shi Tian noticed Krissie was having trouble breathing.

Seeing that this was her limit, Shi Tian glanced around the surroundings to check if any people were nearby the area. Once he confirmed that there were no other people, he told Krissie to stop dragging the corpse.

"Cough, can we head back soon?" Krissie quickly covered her mouth with her arm and tried her best to not breathe in the pollutant air.

"You can head back if you want." Shi Tian said emotionlessly, not batting an eyelid at her pained expression as he knelt down and retrieved a small knife.

He then checked up on Benmos's wrist, seemingly looking for the barcode scanner. Though just like Krissie had mentioned earlier, the barcode is invisible to the naked eye and needed a special device to detect and scan it.

'I would have cut both the arm wrists out and attached it to me if it wasn't for my missing arm. Now, what should I do?' Shi Tian wondered silently.

Unable to see which barcode is attached to the arm wrist, Shi Tian only had a 50 percent chance of cutting the correct one and using it to deceive the guards at the entrance of Gearits.

Meanwhile, his action was finally caught on by Krissie, and she was astonished to see his madman-like behavior.

'Crazy… is he actually planning on cutting Benmos' barcode wrist and sticking it onto his? What kind of sick person does that?' She thought to herself, feeling even more horrified at Shi Tian's personality as a whole.

She knew he was one crazy and ruthless person, but didn't know his craziness could extend to such lengths. There was zero respect for humans and corpses.

And if it wasn't for the flesh that Shi Tian was showing, then Krissie would have thought he was a robot in disguise.

While she was dazed in her own thoughts, Shi Tian suddenly asked her a question. "Krissie, where is your barcode scan located again? And do you happen to know which wrist is the one Benmos had its barcode scan on?"

And he continued, "Oh, and just so you know if the barcode scan you tell me is wrong and it happens to be detected in the Gearits entry. Then I'll make sure that your life would become a living nightmare- one that is even worse than when you were with Benmos."

Krissie swallowed a mouthful of saliva in fear as she hurriedly pointed at Benmos' right arm. "It's his right arm. I've seen him extend his right arm every time we enter Gearits for exchange of currency."

"Okay, and how long is this barcode scan? You know- we can never be too careful when we cut the length, right?" Shi Tian then asked, causing Krissie to feel like a bucket of cold water had splashed against her back.

After scaring her, Shi Tian was inwardly surprised by the coincidence that Benmos' barcode scan just so happened to be in his right arm, making everything much easier for him now.

Since his right arm was gone, Shi Tian could easily just chop off Benmos's right arm and show it to the guards at the entrances with the excuse of the Tenceloras monster cutting his arm off.

That way, he didn't have to attempt the riskier option which was to paste the actual skin into his left arm.

'At least my luck isn't that bad,' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly, using the small knife to begin cutting off Benmos' right arm.

And although Shi Tian didn't have much strength, his high dexterity allowed him a faster action in cutting the right arm back and forth. Despite the gruesome scenario, not much blood was leaking out given that it was a corpse now corrupted by pollution.
