Demon hunter's Cooking Manual

With a crisp sound, the opponent's nearly healed neck had its spine crushed again, along with the vocal cords, turning into a mess.

The 'collaborator's eyes bulged.

The hatred and rage in his eyes almost became tangible.

If looks could kill, Jason would have been dead and gone.

Unfortunately, they couldn't.

Under the glaring eyes of the 'collaborator', Jason opened the backpack and took out the contents one by one.

Inside the huge travel bag, there weren't many kinds of items.

Just two things in total.

Books and gemstones.

The books occupied the majority, a hefty ten of them.

As for the gemstones, there were two.

One red, one blue, they glimmered when held in hand.

The rich 'fragrant' scent emanated from these two gemstones.

Jason wasn't in a hurry to eat, he wiped the two gemstones clean and placed them in his coat pocket. Then, under the increasingly hateful gaze of the 'collaborator', he looked through the ten books.

All of them were about the knowledge of the 'Mystical Side'.

However, some key parts were missing, and some sections were incorrect.

After Jason rapidly flipped through them, he tossed the books back into the backpack.

Without a doubt.

These ten books were also traps set by the secret passage's owner for the 'collaborator'.

The basic parts were correct.

But the information on 'rituals' and some strange knowledge had been tampered with.

It was not obvious at first glance.

But at a critical moment, it could be deadly.

However, this was none of Jason's concern.

Neither the 'collaborator' nor the owner of this secret passage were clearly good people.

Whoever died, it wouldn't stir any emotion in Jason.

Let alone cause him sadness or sorrow.

So, as he walked toward the bookshelf, Jason stepped on the 'collaborator' again.

The opponent's just-healed spine broke again.

The 'collaborator' couldn't speak, but in his translucent skull, his brain was frantically writhing, clearly reaching an emotional extreme. Seeing this, Jason lifted his foot and crushed the 'collaborator's limbs too.

Instantly, the frantically wriggling brain calmed down.

Jason let out a cold chuckle and looked up at the remaining books on the bookshelf in front of him.

What kind of people are the residents of 'Nightless City'?

A cautious, cowardly yet vicious, savage combination.

People who take 'jungle law' to the extreme.

It's not to say there are no good people.

But there really aren't many good people.

Because they die too quickly.

No matter how good a person is, if they survive in the 'Nightless City', they will hide their kindness and reveal their sharp edges.

Living is too hard.

Especially surviving in the 'Nightless City'.

As for wanting to live better?

Previously, Jason didn't dare to think about it,

But now, he has similar thoughts.

So, he needs to understand 'Nightless City' more.

He needs to understand 'Nightless City' from beyond the old man's circle.

That being the case,

Books are indispensable.

So, Jason raised his hand and took down seven or eight books from the shelf.

These books might not record knowledge about the 'Mystical Side', but for Jason at this moment, as long as they record more about 'Nightless City', they are valuable.

Looking at the books in his hand, Jason picked up the thinnest one.

The reason for saying seven or eight books is that this one in Jason's hand is too thin.

It doesn't even look like a book.

It looks more like...

A propaganda pamphlet.

And when Jason saw the words on the book clearly, he blinked.

Because it was indeed a propaganda pamphlet!

This was a slightly yellowed propaganda pamphlet, with the first page printed with skyscrapers, blue skies, white clouds, the sun, and a line of text: Uptown welcomes you!

Blue skies and white clouds!

The sun!

Clean streets!

Straight high-rises!

Especially the people on the street walking with companions, smiling, made Jason's breath pause.

Seeing such a scene anywhere else wouldn't surprise Jason.

But in 'Nightless City'?

Inconceivable!

Subconsciously, Jason flipped open the pamphlet.

Every page depicted splendid pictures.

He saw one after another identical modern communities, shopping malls, amusement parks, just like 'hometown'.

Likewise, he read the descriptive text.

100000!

For only 100000 Jing, you can gain the qualification to go to Uptown!

No struggles here!

And no hunger!

Here, you will receive everything you couldn't imagine in the past!

Words full of temptation were mixed under those splendid photos.

Jason flipped through it from the first page to the last.

Yet his brows involuntarily furrowed.

Instinctively, he didn't trust this pamphlet.

He always felt it was a trap.

But about Uptown in 'Nightless City', he didn't know much either, only occasionally hearing the 'old man' mention a couple of sentences.

Summarized as——

Uptown is a good place.

It's paradise.

When he retired, he definitely wanted to live in Uptown.

According to the 'old man's words, Uptown in 'Nightless City' should meet this pamphlet's description.

But likewise, Jason also trusted his intuition.

Putting down the pamphlet in his hand.

Jason picked up the remaining seven books.

Once he opened them, he found out that these seven books were actually diaries.

Recording the first half of the life of this secret passage's owner 'Kulin'——

1118R.2.3 Sunny

I finally gained the qualification to go to school.

Teacher Kande wasn't lying, as long as you work hard, there are rewards.

1118R.2.6 Sunny

Teacher Kande sent me to school. The people here are truly nice, their clothes are clean and they're very friendly, even after hearing I'm from the Lower City District, they didn't show any strange reactions.
