Servant System Chapter 16
When the sunlight touched upon the wrecked room, Yunzheng had been stirred from his slumber and the corner. Despite the overwhelmingly energy coursing through his body, a sense of weariness which hammering on his head caused him to fail to find his strength. In a few attempts, he rose to his feet, indulging at the scene of havoc which he caused during the whole night.With a little twist to his neck, it cracked and he relaxed the stiffened joints before a drifting smoke found its way before him, reshaping itself into a black cat who stared at him in the same gaze of someone who didn't notice nor care about the scattered pieces around them. "Good morning, master. This one wanted to tell you that perhaps, your outburst last night had attracted some unwanted curiosity."In his frown, Yunzheng was about to probe further but Gilbert displayed his opened paw and conjured surging smokes that formed small figurines and the surrounding environment.There, some passing guests had sent their gl

As the drifting putrid stench filled the dimly lit alley, a shadow flashed before a tiny squeak was uttered. The little creature tiptoed carefully in its stride, eyes wary of the surroundings but still fixated upon a half chewed piece of ham in the middle of a muddy puddle. Before it could grab its prey, a series of footsteps echoed, bringing its ears to twitch as it realized the sounds became closer in rapid speed. Soon enough, a figure way bigger than it was rushing forward, stomping at the puddle and scurrying away the critter. The figure gritted his teeth and sweats drenched the black shirt veiled by his fake, cheap leather jacket he found in some rundown shop. One of his eyes was swelling and he felt the pain and aches coming all over his body in this marathon. Still, he kept running, didn't turn his head even once, and tried to regulate his breath and posture, so he could run a little bit longer. His sprint led him to a crossroads to which he finally stopped and felt his eyes

"Another murder report?"Saying those words wither raised eyebrows, Chen Yue titled her head which was held by her hand as she continued her queries, "Let me guess, their corpse looks a little shriveled, mutilated by some sort of sharp object, and found in either alleyways or some ongoing construction building?"The man in front of her, whose appearance didn't seem to be more than forties, shrugged his shoulders and handed her a stack of papers. Placing them on the desk, she browsed through some of them before sighed heavily. "Is there anything else?" she asked, when she noticed the man still hadn't left her office. "The captain ain't happy with how slow the investigation went, Xiao Yue. You need to keep looking out for our escaped prisoner that day.""Me and my team have done our best and will continue to do so, please tell our captain that."Shaking his head, the man turned around and spoke out before closing the door, "Your business. I ain't no pigeon. I already said what he want

[You have activated the Contract feature!][Searching for a hero to be contracted…][A hero was found! Do you want to finalize the contract?] After Yunzhend nodded his head and agreed, a blinding light emerged before him and this time, Yunzheng had somehow expected it and shield his eyes with his palm whilst some of the fingers parted to give a gap for him to peer through. Using his energy, he narrowed his gaze and tried to observe closely how his summon would come to this world. At first, he saw a tiny speck, which expanded in an instant before those specks of shade materialized another shape that was longer and thin and in a humanoid frame. Though the details were veiled by the light, Yunzheng immediately realized that the long and thin frame was actually a whole skeleton and those specks that covered the bones and skull were blood. Muscle tissues soon grew out of the bones and before long, skin appeared as well. The pace of how the bone, muscle, blood, and skin combined into a

'Slow…' Treading through the forest, Yunzheng glanced behind him and saw Lavda trying to catch up to his speed with a panting breath. Although Yunzheng indeed used movement techniques to accelerate his pace, he hadn't unleashed his full speed yet. He felt that his current speed right now shouldn't be that different from the one where he was running around the city in hope to raise his strength before he summoned Gilbert. His stamina definitely improved so that was why he could maintain this pace without breaking a sweat. But even with that considered, Lavda was already running out of strength before he could even step into a battle. It would be a joke. This made Yunzheng become more apprehensive of his new companion and pondered if he should test the man's skills firsthand before throwing him out there. 'But I'm not his nanny and besides, he was summoned to help me, not the other way around. Is this because of his low level or what?'While he thought of that, he saw a crowd diving

As his heart thumped in every step, the man's cold sweat dripped down from his cheek and eyes fixated upon the bright hallway decorated in hanging drawings and statues. The red carpet threaded in gold strings around the edge ran towards the double door at the very end, where he gulped subconsciously as nervousness flooded his entire being. When he was meters away from the door, two men in black suits and armed to the teeth blocked his path, making him stop as he stared at one of them in the eyes and said, "I've been summoned."After a silence that felt like an eternity, the pair of guards stepped back, prompting him to continue his stride which slightly disappointed him for he rather not proceed with what would happen. Now at arm's length, the door opened by themselves and the man's shoulders twitched in response. His fidget behavior was plain to see, so much that the man wished to bury his head somewhere else. Yet, such an alternative was something he couldn't take. The room was d

"Xiao Mei."When her steps halted at the call of her name, a young woman who looked around mid twenties, wearing a white, long sleeved shirt and black skirt turned her head behind and saw an approaching man in glasses and black suit. The man's face was a little more than average with his sleek jawline and robust physique. Not to mention, his brown eyes had their own charm, causing a lot of ladies to find his gaze to be a little bit more mesmerizing. His name's Chou Wen, a colleague of hers that seems to be a little bit more way too close to her whenever she is around. Because of his not so subtle approach, many rumors about both of them had circulated despite her stance on the matter. Unfortunately, gossip was harder to fend off, especially when Chou Wen himself didn't deny the accusation and in fact, took them in stride with a smile. If anything, she wanted to have nothing with him and she bet he knew about it. However, as her work partner, she had to put up with it and despite th

"That would be twenty thousand credits."When an old man wrapped up the formation flags in a package, along with a bell, a vajra, a wooden sword, blank talisman papers, and a bunch of ritual candles, he looked at young man before him, smiling as he spoke, "It's rare for someone of your age to buy this kind of stuff.""My family still respects our tradition, no matter what happens." smiling in return, Yunzheng replied and swiped his Exwatch to the scanner machine on the counter. A few seconds later, a beep could be heard and the old man gave the items, "Good, good. We must never forget our origin even at the end of the world."Grabbing the item and saying his farewell, Yunzheng walked out of the store as the door quickly opened automatically. As he walked, his smile faded and he mumbled under his breath, "The end of the world, huh…"Passing through the crowd whilst executing his technique to make himself invisible, Yunzheng strode leisurely on the sidewalk instead of running in the air
