Chapter 157 Mission Rewards
Chapter 157 Mission Rewards
"You bhbuyxyyu!!" Yan Xun cursed loudly! He grabbed Xiao Zheng by the collar and threw him aside.
Yan Xun touched his back with his other hand; the wound hurt terribly, and he felt his hand was covered in blood.
Holding the dagger in his hand, Xiao Zheng seemed a little lost, especially after seeing Yan Xun's hand covered in blood. He seemed to regret it, wanting to get up and call for emergency help.
But before he could do any of that, Yan Xun walked over and kicked him unconscious, then snatched the dagger from his hand and pinned Xiao Zheng's hand to the ground.
The concrete floor was, of course, impenetrable, and Yan Xun pulled the dagger from Xiao Zheng's palm—
"The Passion of Jesus?" Lou Yanchuan watched with great interest from the edge of the rooftop.
“Stop your hellish jokes,” Yan Xun said.
The pain piercing through his palm instantly woke Xiao Zheng up. After discovering Yan Xun beside him, Xiao Zheng tried to say something, but Yan Xun didn't give him the chance at all. With a forceful pull, he choked Xiao Zheng unconscious again.
Yan Xun, gripping the dagger, ignored the unconscious Xiao Zheng on the ground and turned to Lou Yanchuan, "You did this?"
"More or less." Lou Yanchuan looked at Yan Xun. "I told him a little bit, and he believed me."
Xiao Zheng poked him in a slightly off-center spot, and Yan Xun felt that he wouldn't die for the time being. He looked at Lou Yanchuan standing on the edge of the rooftop and climbed up in a few quick movements.
Standing there, the wind was terrifyingly strong; one could easily fall if you weren't careful.
Lou Yanchuan simply spread his hands and asked, "Yanxun, why do you insist on being with Jiaye?"
"You could have left the instance by asking anyone else, why did you have to ask Jia Ye?"
When Yan Xun heard him say that, he knew that the other party knew the plot of all the timelines in the instance.
“Look here,” Lou Yanchuan said, pointing to the building they were standing in. “Soon, this place will become a graveyard.”
"No one who enters here will survive."
"This place will soon be sealed off."
"It has become an abandoned building."
"No one dares to enter this area again..." Lou Yanchuan said, describing the future of this place, "until it is transformed for other uses."
Yan Xun was unsure of Lou Yanchuan's attitude. He was very close to Lou Yanchuan; he could reach out and grab him.
"What is it for?" Yan Xun asked.
"apartment."
Lou Yanchuan said, "This place will be converted into apartments."
"Would anyone still be willing to move into a cemetery?" Yan Xun couldn't help but ask.
Lou Yanchuan stood there. "Aren't you curious why I took away Jia Ye's power?"
"I don't seem to need it."
This is also what Yan Xun can't understand the most. In any story, if something wants to take away the so-called power of the god, it is in order to strengthen itself.
But Lou Yanchuan didn't care at all.
"Jia Ye claims to be a god who sees through the truth. Do you really believe him?" Lou Yanchuan asked again.
Yan Xun, of course, didn't completely believe it; he wanted to see what nonsense this dungeon boss could spout.
“He is also the god of corruption; those who believe in him will eventually degenerate into monsters and turn into pulp,” Lou Yanchuan said to Yan Xun.
"You've turned into mincemeat too?" Yan Xun looked at Lou Yanchuan in front of him.
Lou Yanchuan remained silent.
It was at this moment that Yan Xun made his move.
He grabbed Lou Yanchuan in a few steps and they both fell to the other side of the building. In the instant they lost their balance, Yan Xun plunged the dagger stained with his blood into Lou Yanchuan's eye.
Yan Xun was very fast.
After plunging the dagger into Lou Yanchuan's eye, he twisted it a few times, trying to pierce through the other man's brain as well.
Lou Yanchuan simply grabbed Yan Xun and the two of them plummeted together.
He laughed loudly, "Have you forgotten? I'm already dead?"
He pulled the dagger out of Yan Xun's eye socket and put it in Yan Xun's hand, right in Yan Xun's sight.
Just as the two were about to hit the ground, Lou Yanchuan tapped Yan Xun on the forehead with his head, saying, "See you next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xun's body vanished into thin air.
—The hidden dungeon quest has been completed, and Yan Xun can leave now.
Lou Yanchuan's body also slowly turned into fragments after Yan Xun's figure disappeared, and then vanished without a trace.
……
"Hold!"
As soon as Yan Xun emerged from the instance, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind.
After leaving the instance, those sealed memories returned to his mind. When he first entered the instance, all he wanted to do was find the person with the sister-in-law.
"There's one more thing I forgot to ask," Yan Xun said to the system, rubbing his head. "How exactly did Song Baiyuan determine that we have a sister-in-law based on the leaked information?"
According to the timeline, how could a third party know about his relationship with Jia Ye after they confirmed it?
"[This is the dungeon setting.]" the system explained to Yan Xun in his mind. "[But think about it, maybe the owner of this Weibo account is Lou Yanchuan?]"
Yan Xun did not speak.
He looked at the system.
The system didn't understand why Yan Xun was staring at it.
Just as Lou Yanchuan leaned his head closer, many memories that didn't belong to him appeared in Yan Xun's mind—just like when he saw the Fairy Bodhi, memories of Mu Yuanming's childhood appeared in his mind.
In my memory, Lou Yanchuan was even younger, and I called him Little Lou.
Every time he saw himself, he would excitedly call himself "Brother Yan". However, at the end of the scene, Lou Yanchuan's body was broken in two, his eyes lost their luster, and he was hung upside down on a huge iron hook, like some kind of livestock commonly found in a slaughterhouse.
What terrified Yan Xun even more was...
At the end of that scene, there were countless people who resembled Lou Yanchuan.
They were hung on the house, waiting to be dried in the shade.
Along with that, another sentence entered Yan Xun's head: "Those things can't be trusted, and neither can your system."
Yan Xun returned to his villa, where Gui Yuchong, whom he hadn't put away last time, was still on the sofa. Perhaps because he had obtained quite a few soul fragments during this dungeon run, the other party looked more like a living person.
as well as……
Yan Xun took something out of his backpack.
"When did this thing catch up?"
Yan Xun looked at the red eyeball, about the size of a tennis ball, in his palm.
He wouldn't have even realized he brought back a local specialty if he hadn't checked his backpack.
The system was also puzzled. It searched the database for a long time but still couldn't figure out what the red eyeball was. [Maybe it's one of Jia Ye's soldiers?]
Isn't His true form just an eyeball?
The system guessed.
It stared at the red eyeball for a long time, only to see the eyeball roll its eyes at it; it was an eyeball with eyelids.
Yan Xun found it strange and held the eyeball in his palm, discovering that the eyeball also had four matchstick-like hands and feet.
"It was probably brought back by accident," the system said. "The axe had an eyeball on it back then."
You probably didn't notice when you stuffed it into your backpack, which is why it was taken out.
The system couldn't determine the item's level, but since it was brought out of a dungeon, its level probably wasn't high.
After thinking for a moment, the system began to tally and settle Yan Xun's rewards.
"Although there were some issues early on, you still get an A+ rating because you unlocked the hidden quest in the end," the system said, its tone becoming more cheerful. "You can now participate in the Human-Cat dungeon!"
Besides these, an item also dropped.
The system then handed the reward item to Yan Xun.
The reward item given by the system was a pair of glasses.
"This thing can reveal the truth?" Yan Xun looked at the description on the glasses with skepticism.
He put on his glasses to look at the system and discovered that it was a chaotic mass of matter, unrelated to the cute appearance of the plush dinosaur. It was a strange thing that would give you nightmares if you looked at it even once.
And the red eyeball in his hand is... a red eyeball.
Yan Xun took off his glasses, and it seemed that Eyeball was indeed a low-ranking soldier.
