Su Mu picked up the ring and looked at it briefly: "Is this...Qian Zihao's ring?"
He has always had a keen eye for observation, so he naturally noticed that Qian Zihao had worn this ring on his hand.
Nangong Mengli nodded: "Yes, this is the silver first-level treasure [Energy Devouring Spirit Ring]. I took it off when I killed Qian Zihao just now. After all, I killed him with great effort, so I can't waste it."
Su Mu glanced at the pale-faced Nangong Mengli and agreed with her powerful logic. He carefully wiped the ring with a white handkerchief before putting it on.
This silver ring was of a simple style, without any patterns, just like an ordinary silver ring. When he put it on, with the influx of mental power, he immediately understood the function of the [Energy Devouring Spirit Ring].
It can directly convert physical energy or spiritual energy into attack power. For example, an adult man can punch with a force of 200 kilograms, but after using the [Energy Devouring Spirit Ring], the ring can absorb the energy stored in the body and burst it all out, allowing you to punch with a force of 1,000 kilograms.
But the price is that you become extremely thin because the energy stored in the body has been drained.
This conversion also applies to mental power, converting mental power into physical strength, but few people do this because the recovery of mental power is ten times more difficult than that of the physical body. Physical weakness can be compensated by eating and drinking, but there are very few ways to compensate for mental power. Usually it depends on time to recover slowly.
And excessive extraction of mental energy may turn yourself into a fool.
Su Mu did not have such worries. He felt that this ring was very suitable for him because he had enough mental power and this ring could convert his mental power into real and usable combat power.
He also roughly understood why Qian Zihao wanted to eat so much to make himself fat. He should be storing energy so that once he encountered danger, he could use the [Energy Devouring Spirit Ring] to burst out with terrifying power that was no weaker than that of a supernatural being.
"This ring is not a thank you gift. I have said that I will definitely repay you. I can give you anything I have." Nangong Mengli leaned weakly on the back of the chair, her eyelids barely opening.
"You know, I have waited for this day for so long. I will never forget the day my mother passed away. She held my hand and told me to forget the hatred and not to seek revenge.
But I really can't forget the hatred of the Nangong family and my mother. They remind me all the time. In fact, I have been confused and have read many books that encourage people to be good. They say that people cannot live for hatred, but should let go and cherish those who are alive.
But where are the living people? I am the only one left, the only one in the entire Nangong family! If I don’t avenge them, who else can?
Whenever I think about the people who killed my family, and they are still living happily in this world, I hate them! I hate them, why should we die, why? "
Rather than speaking to Su Mu, Nangong Mengli seemed to be speaking to herself, a self-narration of an avenger.
Her head was growing heavier, her eyelids had fallen more than once, and her voice was growing quieter.
In a trance, she smelled a hint of floral fragrance. The refreshing aroma penetrated into her nostrils and made her feel itchy.
Where does the floral scent come from?
She opened her eyes with some effort, and what she saw was a broken rose, as if it had been dropped on the ground and stepped on twice, very ugly... very ugly...
Su Mu's voice rang out from the side: "Although it's a little inappropriate, it's almost twelve o'clock, so... happy birthday."
Nangong Mengli stared blankly at the roses in front of her. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten all her hatred and fatigue.
"Where did you get the flowers?"
"I picked it up from Qian Zihao. Just like you said, after all, we went to great lengths to kill him, so it can't be in vain, right?"
Phew.
Nangong Mengli chuckled, and her eyes, which were previously filled with hatred, softened a lot. She carefully took the rose that was about to break, lifted up the scattered hair, and sniffed it gently.
Her eyes curved into a pair of beautiful crescents, and her bright pupils reflected the neon lights speeding by on the roadside, as well as the sumac and roses.
"Thank you, Sumu."
Su Mu drove without looking around, and the bright and dark shadows of the neon lights on the roadside kept interweaving on his angular face.
"You're welcome. It's only natural to send birthday wishes."
After saying that, Su Mu suddenly felt his lips a little wet. He was sure that he did not lick his lips, which made him frown slightly. The air humidity in the car should not be so high.
unless.......
He glanced sideways at Nangong Mengli, only to find that she had fallen asleep holding the rose tightly, apparently due to excessive exhaustion from exhaustion.
.......
.......
A day later, the entire Star City was under an unprecedented martial law. A large number of law enforcement officers in uniform with guns on their waists appeared in every corner and conducted a carpet search.
Star City was in a state of panic, and even the number of pedestrians on the streets decreased. The most pitiful were the shops selling tuxedos. Several of them were directly closed down because the styles they sold were very similar to those worn by Pride, the chief of the seven deadly sins, and the people were taken away and tortured.
The name of the Seven Deadly Sins of Arrogance seemed to resound throughout the entire Star City overnight. To be precise, not only Star City, but also other surrounding cities and even the entire Red Flame Empire were alarmed.
The killing of an imperial noble was a huge blow to the Chiyan Empire. Even during wars with other countries, nobles had the right to pardon. Even if nobles were captured, they would be treated favorably by the enemy country and wait for the other family to redeem them with a large sum of money.
This was the case even in wartime, let alone in peacetime. The news of Murong Zhuo's killing was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples and occupied the front pages of major newspapers.
It is rumored in the aristocratic circles of Star City that the imperial family is now furious and has directly sent a golden warrior to airdrop into Star City, determined to catch the Seventh Deadly Sin - Pride!
The non-existent organization, the Seven Deadly Sins, also successfully topped the wanted list of the Scarlet Flame Empire, and for a time even overshadowed the Revolutionary Army.
Because even the revolutionary army did not kill the nobles. According to rumors, they only captured the nobles and used them in exchange for a large amount of resources.
"Did you hear about the fire at the Platinum Hotel yesterday? I heard that a noble died in it."
"I heard that not only one noble died, but many celebrity bosses died, even the richest man in Xingcheng, Qian Zihao, died."
