BXBX NOVEL Chapter 188: The bandit talks
As he walked deeper into the cave, several bandits came into view. There were four men standing together and smoking something, as they talked and laughed.
" I wonder why our chief had ordered for everyone to assemble here? " First man muttered.
" It\'s just a rumour, but I\'ve heard that someone has killed many of our brothers. " The second man said in a hushed tone.
" I heard many of the Buddhist sect bastards were killed too. " The third man added.
" So, are we going to search for that person? And how do we even know it was just a single person? " The first man asked.
" Do you think I\'d still be standing here with you low lives if I was that smart? " The third man shouted and laughed.
...
" Well, that makes it a lot more easier for me to kill all these bastards. " Jayden mumbled after listening to their conversation.
As he walked, the bandits noticed him too after glaring at him curiously for a few seconds, they walked towards him.
" Who are you? What are you doing inside this cave? " One of the men asked, as they circled Jayden.
" Are all the members of your group here? " He asked them instead of answering.
" Almost all of us are here- wait, first tell me what are you doing in here? " The second man answered without thinking much.
" I\'m here to attend your meeting, let\'s go I\'ve an appointment with your leader. " Jayden said non chalantly and began to walk deeper into the cave.
The bandits looked at each other in confusion, no one was stupid enough to break into their cave all alone, so they thought maybe he really is someone their chief knows.
After walking in for a couple dozen seconds, Jayden saw a big space of over 200 meters width, most of the bandits were scattered around in the open area, laughing and talking.
" When is the chief coming? " Jayden asked the men who escorted him in.
" He will be here in around five minutes. " One of them replied.
Jayden had already planned what he was going to do with them, to pass the time, he turned towards the bandits and asked: " How long have you been working as a bandit? "
" ...It\'s almost been ten years now for all of us. " After a small silence, a man said.
" Woah, that long you\'re really impressive, " Jayden said, as if impressed by their accomplishment: " Then you must have many experiences to share, right? "
The bandits looked proud, and began to boast:
" Of course, we have experienced a lot of things, there was this one time when I killed a 5 to 6 years old boy in front of his parents, it felt so great to look at their expressions. "
As he spoke, he observed Jayden\'s facial and body expressions closely, he wanted to see any signs of anger Jayden would show after listening to his story.
" Remember when killed that ill old woman, her son cried so loudly when he got back home after work, that was truly hilarious. " The second man chimed in.
Jayden maintained his smile, not giving them the result they wanted, after all of them shared their experiences, then Jayden spoke:
" All of you are sure having fun, I had a moment to share too. "
The bandits gave him an encouraging look and asked him to speak: " I was passing by a cave and I saw some ugly people, since I hated their faces, I tortured them so badly that they passed out again and again and again.
It was so fun to burn a bunch of people alive, before making little insects eat their skin, eyes and organs.
I loved their screams as I watched their skin slowly melting, the buzzing sound of insects that were eating their organs sounded like music to my ears. Ha, I miss that feeling, maybe I could do something like that again. "
Jayden said, showing a cruel smile, sending shivers down the spine of all four men. They gulped their saliva and tried to walk away, even they hadn\'t been that cruel when killing someone.
After a couple more minutes, the hall suddenly became silent, everyone turned to look at the big stone that was being used as a stage. A man wrapped in black clothes, with a crow mask on his face, stood over the stone and gazed at everyone.
" My brothers, I suppose most of you aren\'t aware of the reason why we have all gathered here. Let me tell you, through one of the Buddhist techniques we have found that there is a man who slaughtered our brothers in cold blood.
Now it is our duty to find that bastard and kill him in the most horrible ways. Even the bodies of our brothers weren\'t found, so let\'s take an oath to- " the leader began to shout from the stage filling everyone with adrenaline.
*ACHOOOO*
A loud sound interrupted the chief, he stared at Jayden for a couple of seconds, then resumed his speech.
" So, let\'s take an oath to kill that- "
*ACHOOOOOOO*
An even louder sound rang out interrupting the chief again, he again glared at Jayden and spoke to him: " You don\'t seem to be a member of our group, so who the fuck are you? "
Listening to this, all the bandits turned to look at Jayden with bloodthirsty expressions, Jayden smiled at all the attention and spoke:
" Ah don\'t mind me and continue your bullshit, just treat me as the passing wind. "
"..."
" Who let you in? " The chief asked him.
" Those four, they even told me many things about you and this group. Ha, I really like your hospitality even towards your enemies, I almost believed you were good people. " Jayden said dramatically, making the four of them shiver.
" Kill him. " The chief pointed his finger at Jayden and ordered.
" Wait wait, let me confess first, " Jayden said, then he continued: " Actually I\'m the one who killed your brothers, don\'t misunderstand it was just an accident, I was passing and I \'accidentally\' saw their faces, it scared me, so I reflexively killed them all. "
Hearing his strange confession, all the bandits looked at each other in confusion, until anger filled their eyes and they began to charge towards him.
" Haa, this is why I hate illiterate people, they just can\'t understand even simple words. " He muttered to himself, and then a cruel expression appeared on his face.
" DREAM DOMAIN "

Wang Jia was sitting on a chair inside her room, holding a paper in her hands, although her eyes were staring at the paper but her mind was elsewhere. It\'s been so many days and she hasn\'t got any news about her son.
Her face had turned slightly pale from the constant worry, she was barely eating and sleeping. And cultivation hadn\'t been on her mind at all.
Looking at the ceiling she muttered: " Jin, are you safe? Where are you? "
