Daomu Biji: Restart

Book 1: Chapter 178

I was in a daze as we were dragged away. When the "sack" was eventually torn off, I felt my clothes quickly get cut off, and then a warm liquid was poured over my face and body.

My whole body was covered in wounds, so it was reasonable to say that I would start convulsing when a strange liquid was poured on them. But after the liquid was poured on, it actually felt warm and itchy. Then my eyes were openedeverything was blurry and I couldn't see anything clearly and the liquid was poured directly onto them.

I couldnt hear any sounds except for the violent beating of my heart, and even my nose had no sense of smell. When the liquid was poured onto my face, I felt it entering my mouth and found that it was very salty.

This warm feeling was so comfortable that I slowly lost consciousness and passed out.

When I woke up again, the first thing I felt was that my whole body was covered in a film, and my skin seemed to be so dry and cracked that it felt taut. My eyes were completely sealed shut and I couldnt open them no matter how hard I tried. I tried to lift my hands, but found that I couldnt. I gradually realized that there were a lot of heavy objects on my body that were pressing against my joints and keeping me immobile. I wanted to talk, but found that my lips were covered as well. But I could hear some noises in my ears.

I was wrapped so heavily that I couldn't move even if I wanted to cough. At this time, I heard a voice say, "Don't move."

I was stunned. I couldn't hear the two words clearly because they were said too fast, but it seemed to be Poker-Faces voice. I immediately became excited, but the other person pressed their hand on my neck for a few seconds. With the blood flow to my brain blocked, I quickly fell into a coma again.

Fuck, it's Poker-Face. Hes the only one who likes to use this technique. I didn't even get to finish that thought before I fell into darkness again.

When I woke up again, I was still in the same situation. I still couldn't move, but I had learned my lesson this time. After waking up a little bit, I didn't make any drastic moves for fear that I would be knocked out again. I could only move one finger, so I used it to tap a short message in our secret code.

"Poker-Face, is that you?"

There was no sound around me. I knocked for a long time, but no one answered me. Instead, I heard someone singing in the distance, "Let's pucker those red lips and laugh giddily as we fuck. We'll attack the brothel owners all over the world." (1)

I took a deep breath and found that all the tension in my body seemed to relax a little. I tried hard to open my mouth, but at this time, I heard someone humming a little song as they came over. After listening for a long time, I found that the person was singing a song from My Fair Princess. Based on the sounds, it was no doubt Black Glasses. He was eating something, so his words sounded distorted whenever he sang.

I used all of my strength to raise my finger, at which point he hummed and came over, "Apprentice, are you awake?"

I lifted it even harder and Black Glasses patted me, "Don't move, dont move. You're not well. Do you want to take a shit? Go ahead, theres a hole under your ass."

Fucking hell(2), this is so shameful and humiliating. I felt around for a moment and sure enough, there was a hole under my ass. This was the same fucking thing slave ships did back in the day.

When I got agitated, Black Glasses shouted, "Calm down, calm down! If you dont want your wounds to open again, just calm down! Otherwise, I'll hit your balls!"

I immediately stopped moving and listened to what Black Glasses had to say. "Now, all the wounds on your body are coated with something. If you keep it on for a few more days, Ill let you out. Let me tell you, if we didnt handle it in time, your body would be covered in fungi. You have to keep your eyes and mouth shut right now and let your wounds heal. Since the new flesh hasnt grown well, youll be covered in scars if we take the coating off now. You wont be called one of the four beauties of Wushanju anymore." (3)

Youre an idiot, I said to myself. Who are the three otherbeauties, and why dont I know about it?

Black Glasses continued, "Youre covered in Little Brother's blood. He doesn't have that much blood to give you, so please stop." I heard the sound of crackling wood and realized that there was probably a bonfire nearby. "You still have good ideas and were able to find a way, but I didn't expect you to bring these two losers. Theres not enough food."

TN Notes:

(1) Per Tiffany: Black Glasses made a parody of the theme song from the 1998 Chinese drama My Fair Princess. The song is called When (). It was a famous song since the drama was extremely popular. Black Glasses changed the chorus while the original lyrics of the chorus were, Lets accompany each other and live freely. Lets run wildly and enjoy all the beautiful things in the world. Link to the song here (the chorus starts at 1:28).

(2) Wu Xie really used the transcribed version of a Korean swearword that Chinese netizens have commonly used. Its axiba () for those of you that care.

(3) Apparently the Chinese fans have decided the four beauties are Wu Xie, Xiao Hua, Black Glasses, and Poker-face. (I was going off of this).

Sorry, I was shooting for 2 chapters tonight but got bogged down trying to find that stupid fucking song. On the bright side, I got Tiffany's 2 extras and Yvette's "Thousand Faces" chapter out earlier so I'm all caught up now (they were productive this weekend while I was getting sunburned. My nose looks like Rudolph and I have coon eyes from my glasses lol)
