Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Yes, he could rest now.

The gift from Akatum was unexpectedly generous. It was not a time ability that could greatly increase his combat strength, but it was what the current Kang De needed the most.

Using the white fog world as a lever, he leveraged the time flow ratio between Earth and the other world. In the end, the time flow between the two worlds completely reversed. In other words, seven days had passed on Earth, but only a day had passed in the other world.

This meant that… he could temporarily rest.

"Just treat it as a long vacation."

The time to return to Earth to rest was temporarily seven days, corresponding to a day in the other world.

After the war, Valentine was already on the right track. Due to their huge size, the various countries needed more time to digest Kang De's results and speech. It was basically not a problem to fish for a day at a time like this.

At most, he would return to the other world in three days. It corresponded to half a day. If there was anything, he would deal with it and slip away if there was nothing.

It was very good.

Kang De was eager to return. He slightly arranged to remind the gorilla who knew about it and told Leona and Hong San. Then, he activated his ability and officially left the other world.

He returned home covered in blood, fire, and fatigue.

In the white fog world, Kang De looked at the Autobot parked on the street. "You really want to stay here?"

His iron son replied, "I'm very interested in the world my father lives in."

Kang De shook his head and said, "I've already said it. No, at least not now. You can't appear on Earth yet. After all, I don't have a car and you don't have a license plate. My motherland is filled with cameras. I can easily discover that you're a non-vehicle. It'll be very interesting…"

At this point, he rolled his eyes, "It's not only you, but even I have to pay attention. Now that it's modern, the soil for the superheroes to move is getting smaller and smaller. This is because satellites, the Internet, and cameras are watching you around the clock. The probability of being discovered has greatly increased…"

The Autobot said, "That's fine. I'll wait here. Perhaps it'll be useful to me. Perhaps Father will need help."

Kang De smiled. "Earth is not another world. At the very least, my country is not at war, and the malicious crime rate is extremely low. If there's a problem, I can send it away myself. There's no need for the Transformers to appear, right?"

His iron son nodded and said, "I hope so. Father, and I indeed want to take a look."

"Alright, alright, leave it to me," Kang De said. "Perhaps I should think of a way to buy a car."

He bade farewell to the other party. Light flashed and passed through the void.

Back on Earth.

He lay on the bed and took deep breaths.

He listened to the traffic on the street outside.

In fact, the earth-shattering sound of the drill renovation upstairs did not sound that terrible.

Yes, this was his hometown.

The extremely lively world was ordinary and stable. There were no continuous flames of war or cruel killing. Soldiers did not have to fight desperately, and civilians would not be displaced. This country might not be the strongest country in the world yet, but no country on this planet dared to burn the war to this land.

Even the strongest did not dare.

It was much better than the other world and Goethe.

Kang De closed his eyes, his heart beating wildly as he breathed hard.

Shouts, screams, wails, and even the rows of newly erected monoliths in Valentine National Cemetery left him. True peace descended beside him.

Here, he was only an ordinary citizen. He did not have to worry about the life and death of a country, nor did he have to consider how many enemy soldiers he would kill next time. In short, it was really very good.

Kang De slowly reached out and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

The dead, the living, the cruel war, the spreading flames of war, everything he had experienced these days, the elf army swallowed by the flames and shock waves… were finally completely over.

He muttered, "…F*ck."

These few days… were so f*cking explosive.

Kang De closed his eyes and pulled the blanket over. He arched it and slowly fell asleep.

Even the weak impact drill sound renovated upstairs could not stop him.

No matter what, he had to sleep well first and not care about anything else.

It was useless even if the emperor came. No one could stop him from sleeping.

However…

Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…

Not long after he fell asleep, his pocket vibrated. Kang De, who was already asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. His body suddenly tensed, and his eyes were extremely sharp.

However, the next moment, he realized that this was not Valentine's battlefield night, but Earth. Then, his eyes softened and he even looked forward to it.

Was it his parents or Old Wang who would call him at this time?

Kang De blinked and took out his phone. It was an unfamiliar number.

The gentleness and anticipation in his eyes were swept away.

—Who the f*ck is this?

He was just about to sleep when he was woken up by an unfamiliar number. D*mn, Old Wang and his parents did not call him to wake him up. Who the f*ck are you? Kang De's eyes became gloomy, and even a trace of killing intent flashed through them. Then, he suddenly woke up from this state and patted his forehead.

—Relax, relax, relax, relax… This is Earth. I have to adjust and adapt.

He suppressed the urge to curse after answering the call and rejected it.

Then, he threw his phone aside and continued to sleep.

A moment later.

Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…

Kang De suddenly looked up and widened his eyes like a ferocious tiger. He simply wanted to eat this phone. He grabbed the phone with a gloomy gaze. As expected, it was the same number.

Generally speaking, he still continued to call after the call was rejected. Perhaps it was an urgent matter.

However, that was only usually the case.

"No matter who you are, you'd better have a suitable reason…"

—Otherwise, I'll f*cking… press you into the toilet.

He picked up the call and his tone was gloomy. He was overflowing with anger when he woke up. "Who are you?"

The other party was stunned for a moment. It was an unfamiliar male voice, but he said in a familiar tone, "Mr. Kang De, right? It's really been difficult to find. Why haven't you been in the service area for the past few days? What deep mountains and forests did you go to? You're finally willing to come back now? I…"

Kang De said coldly, "Who the f*ck are you? What do you want?"

"Oh my, f*ck, your temper is quite bad."

The other party chuckled and sighed. Although he was not angry, his tone sounded a little disdainful. He said, "Then I won't waste your precious time. Let's be direct. Young Master Xie likes the house you bought in Huaxing Garden very much. The price won't let you suffer a loss. You bought it at 60% of the market price, so we'll increase it by 20% and buy it for 4 million. You can return the money to Miss Wang and earn 2 million. In addition, Young Master Xie wants to make a friend. Please spare the time tonight. You…"

"…F*ck you."

The long speech on the other end of the phone stopped.

What was this? What Young Master Xie? What era was it? He was still the f*cking Prince Consort.

—Also, what's the point of buying a house? Are you staying in a haunted house for your mother? The second-hand housing market is so dispirited. There are houses for sale all over the ground. You can casually buy one and carry your mother in. Who are you? You're crazy.

He had just returned from the other world exhausted and wanted to sleep without caring about anything. Then, he was stirred up by such a baffling call. Who could say how furious he was?

Although he spoke rudely, he was not a saint. How could he not have a foul mouth? He had a superpower and was extremely angry, but he still did not choose to pick up his axe to slash people. It was already the light of civilization.

Therefore, Kang De no longer wanted to care about this idiot or who that useless Young Master Xie was. He wanted to sleep. Before hanging up, he even symbolically said ruthlessly, "—Wait for death!"

If this b*stard continued to call, even if he brought that inexplicable Young Master Xie, they would all be thrown into the feces pool.

He threw the phone aside and covered his head with the blanket before continuing to sleep.

D*mn, stupid.

—So who the f*ck is this Young Master Xie? Xie Guangkun?

At this moment, in a villa in the Lake District of City H, the person standing by the window of the study looked at his phone in confusion. It showed that he had hung up. He thought he had heard wrongly.

This person was in a suit and leather shoes with gold-rimmed glasses. He looked decent and talented. At this moment, he finally realized what had happened and cursed softly, "F*ck! What the heck!"

There was a person sitting behind the wide desk in the study. He had his legs crossed and was playing with his phone. Gorgeous sound effects continuously flowed out. He did not look up and asked, "What? He didn't agree? Or can't make the decision? I heard that Wang Xiaoman paid for this. He can't stand up if he lives off a woman."

"That's right, Young Master Xie," the lackey in a suit said angrily. "This guy's mouth is so dirty. He's just a gigolo from an ordinary family but he's so arrogant."

"Oh?" Young Master Xie said indifferently, "He has quite a personality… This Wang Xiaoman has a heart that's higher than the sky. She doesn't mix in the circle and never interacts with us. I thought her horizons were high, so she found such a thing?"

As he played the game, he asked, "Tell me, what did he say dirty? Ask him out for a meal with Wang Xiaoman later and let him eat these words back in front of his rich woman."

The man in the suit quickly rolled his eyes and said, "The first sentence was to scold me… This is nothing, but he clearly hates you too. What did he say? Let us wait for death…"

Bang!

The large smartphone was directly shattered from the middle, and fragments scattered. Young Master Xie suddenly stood up. His previous leisure attitude was no longer there. He said coldly, "Did he really say that?"

The suited man jumped and subconsciously said, "Yes… yes, that's indeed what he said."

"Wait for death…"

Young Master Xie's eyes were gloomy and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

The house he had bought in his early years to hide his mistress and later disposed of at a low price represented a sore point in his heart. It was a huge secret that he did not dare to tell anyone.

He was confident that he had done that matter very beautifully. Everything had been wiped clean, so much so that when he recalled the past in the dead of night, he was proud of his masterpiece.

After all, there had been a large population flow in those years and the city had developed quickly. Equipment, technology, and even concepts could not keep up, which gave him a chance. That adventure was the boldest thing he had personally done in his life. He had long made up his mind not to do it a second time.

This was because in the current situation, in the increasingly strict and advanced criminal investigation technology and the omnipresent data information network, many so-called perfect crimes were jokes. The police would not care how ingenious the layout and the exciting method you used were. They never deduced and determined. They only pulled data, adjusted the surveillance, used technology, and did investigations until they locked onto you.

There was only one so-called perfect crime… and that was to never do it a second time.

This was what Young Master Xie Guangjun thought.

He had hidden that huge secret in his heart and not told anyone. He was proud to have hidden it from the public investigation law. He had thought that the right time, place, and people were around, allowing him to escape the pursuit of national law. However, recently, he had heard a piece of news that made his hair stand on end.

Although he had temporarily dodged the laws of the country, the justice of the world, the so-called karma, was actually not only the punishment of the country's laws but also the matters of ghosts and gods. He had heard that the house that he had completely renovated and arranged to clear his name was actually haunted. This was shocking to the culprit behind the situation.

His first reaction was that someone wanted to mess with him, but after asking around and even hiring reporters to interview that family, the other party swore that there was a ghost, causing Xie Guangjun to be even more surprised. No matter what, he would definitely not set foot in that house… However, he was also suspicious, so how could he pretend that nothing had happened?

Just as he was thinking hard and wanted to find an eminent monk with magic power or the ability to subdue demons there, another piece of news entered his ears.

That haunted house had been bought by someone.

Moreover, after moving in safely, everything felt good. Nothing happened, as if the so-called ghosts and vengeful spirits did not exist. Either that person's yang energy was extremely strong.

However, this was not enough to reassure Young Master Xie.

The rumors of ghosts evoked his sore spot, causing him to be even more unable to sleep at night. He had a bad feeling and even had a nightmare until he finally made up his mind.

Regardless of whether there was a ghost in the house, he had to completely resolve this problem.

Be it inviting an eminent monk or an Onmyoji or an exorcist from a foreign country, in short, he had to make that b*tch's soul dissipate and she would never be able to make a comeback. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he would do it.

The first step was to buy that house.

He could not help but regret this decision. At that time, in order to completely clear his name and bid farewell to the past, he had completely renovated the house and sold it after obliterating all traces. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened…

However, he still had to buy what he needed to buy.

Therefore, he used some connections to find out the identity of the buyer. However, what frustrated him was that this person did not answer his call for a few days. It was unknown where he went.

Until now.

Something even more terrifying happened.

Facing the suggestion to buy a house at double the price, the other party's attitude was rough and his words were rude.

Moreover, he even said, "Wait for death."

These words were like thunder that struck Young Master Xie's mind.

Then, there was only one thought in Xie Guangjun's mind.

He knows!
