Not long after Jin Yuanfei died, 7480 scanned a fallen golden finger.
It said in surprise, "Huh? Why is the golden finger on him? I always thought Xu Jingjing was the child of destiny chosen by the Lord God."
Zhuang Li squatted down, stroked Jin Yuanfei's face in the air with his hand, and took away the golden finger.
He said slowly, "This is not surprising. After reading the script, you will find that the person who leads the entire story is not Xu Jingjing, but Jin Yuanfei. He is the core character.
"Xu Jingjing's first attempt to frame Bai Ming was motivated by deep hatred for him, but it was also likely an attempt to bind Bai Ming, forcing him to reconcile with her to avoid legal punishment, and then develop a romantic relationship. That way, Xu Jingjing could change her confession and have the case dropped.
But Bai Ming's stubbornness exceeded her expectations. She had never imagined that this man was such a stubborn person that he would rather go to jail than be with her. A few years later, Bai Ming was released from prison, and Xu Jingjing had been completely tamed and brainwashed by Jin Yuanfei. This time, it was Jin Yuanfei who planned to kill Bai Ming.
"From this action, we can see that Jin Yuanfei is the soul of this story. He is more important than Xu Jingjing."
Zhuang Li spread out his palms and raised an eyebrow, "Demon Hunter? This golden finger is the first time I've seen it."
7480 checked it and was also surprised. "Master, this is a task manager, and the name of the task is Demon Hunter. Look at the progress bar, it's only at 57%, and there's still 43% to go. I finally understand why Jin Yuanfei likes Xu Jingjing. It's because Xu Jingjing is super, super bad, and meets the requirements of a witch. She is his prey."
"What will happen if the task is completed 100%?" asked Zhuang Li.
"If you complete the mission 100%, Jin Yuanfei will be awarded the title of Demon Hunter. Don't underestimate this title as it seems useless. However, if you go to the infinite world and receive missions from the Western fantasy or spiritual world, you can use this title to cause physical attacks on ghosts or demons." 7480 explained seriously.
"What is the infinite world?" It was the first time that Zhuang Li heard this term.
"The Infinite World is a small world that the Lord God has allocated to the demigods. These small worlds have been conquered by the demigods and are on the verge of collapse. They are either frequently struck by doomsday disasters or overrun with ghosts and monsters, making them extremely terrifying. There are only two ways for the taskers to meet the Lord God: one is to enter the Infinite World and overcome the difficulties. With the help of the demigods, they can reach the Savage Land and meet the Lord God; the other is to fight their way to the Savage Land directly."
"Wild land?" Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows. This was another new term.
"The Savage Land is the place to play Battle Royale. The Infinite World is a small world within a small world, and the Savage Land is a vast and boundless world, but there is nothing in it, only killing." 7480 couldn't help but shiver.
"So, if I want to save Bai Ming and kill the Lord God, I must eventually go to the wilderness, right?" Zhuang Li gradually understood the rules of the game.
"Yes." 7480 nodded timidly.
"How to get to the wilderness?" Zhuang Li's tone was a little hurried.
"I don't know either." 7480 shook his head, then added: "S-level taskers may know. If we encounter S-level taskers in the future, we can ask them for guidance."
Zhuang Li nodded and stopped asking questions.
While the man and his pet were talking, the progress bar on the task manager suddenly filled up rapidly, and a mechanical voice announced, "Congratulations on completing the first stage of the task and obtaining the title of Junior Demon Hunter."
7480: "Master, it thinks you are a tasker."
But it wasn't over yet. A longer progress bar appeared, reaching its maximum limit once more. The Task Manager said in a rhythmic voice, "Congratulations on completing the second stage of the mission and earning the title of Intermediate Demon Hunter."
7480: "Puff!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another extremely long progress bar appeared and quickly expanded to 50%. This should be the third stage of the task. After completing it, Zhuang Li will be able to obtain the title of advanced demon hunter.
The children of destiny who had died at Zhuang Li's hands became nourishment for his own growth. This was the Lord God's logic. He spread the concept of the survival of the fittest throughout the universe.
Zhuang Li embedded the task controller into the 7480's management program and said with interest, "Monster Hunt? This game seems quite fun."
7480 nodded vigorously: "Master, please keep it. We can use it when we go to the spiritual world of the infinite world to complete the mission in the future."

A few days later, Bai Ming happily shared his college acceptance letter on social media, captioning, "You can't imagine how happy I am!"
Netizens left comments: [Brother, we all went to college. ]
Zhuang Li reposted this Weibo post and attached a picture of a lollipop.
The next day, Bai Ming reposted Zhuang Li's Weibo post with a picture of a little fox licking its lips after eating and drinking.
The two of them played riddles back and forth and enjoyed their happy time.

Ten years later, Xu Jingjing limped out of the prison, covering her eyes with her hands and looking at the cars parked on the side of the road.
The door of one of the cars opened, and the much more mature Lu Ze stepped out and waved, "I'm here."
"Thank you for picking me up." Xu Jingjing walked over slowly and said in a hoarse voice.
"You're welcome. I've rented a house for you and paid for half a year's rent. You can live there first, and then slowly look for a job." Lu Ze glanced at her legs and asked, "Are you injured?"
"No, I was beaten in prison and didn't get treatment, so I became lame." Xu Jingjing said calmly.
Lu Ze was embarrassed for a moment, then hurriedly said sorry.
The two got into the car and fell into silence.
The car gradually drove into the bustling streets. The number of pedestrians coming and going increased, and high-rise buildings were lined up one after another. Most of the former neighborhoods became unfamiliar.
But Xu Jingjing saw a familiar face on a billboard on the street.
"Bai Ming!" Her lifeless eyes suddenly shone with light.
Lu Ze looked at the luxurious billboard and nodded, "Ah, that's Bai Ming. He's now the world's number one supermodel and very popular. It's said that he can earn tens of millions of dollars a year."
After finding a common topic, Lu Ze talked non-stop: "Do you know who Bai Ming's boyfriend is? You are also familiar with this person, it's Teacher Zhuang.
"I was stunned the first time I saw Mr. Zhuang. I never thought there was such a handsome man in the world. No wonder Bai Ming is so devoted to him and still treats him like a treasure after all these years.
"By the way, something really funny happened to Bai Ming recently. You know how Bai Ming's parents divorced a long time ago and didn't want him, leaving him to fend for himself? Back then, Bai Ming went out to work every night and slept on his desk during the day. His life was extremely hard.
"I was thinking, how could there be such awful parents in the world? But guess what? They're even worse! They suddenly sued Bai Ming a while ago, demanding retirement benefits from him, and they asked for 50 million right away. Not 50 million for both of them, but 50 million for each of them!"
When he got angry, Lu Ze pounded the steering wheel and said indignantly: "They don't raise their own children, but they blackmail this child when they are old, and they even ask for 100 million in alimony. How dare they do that!"
Xu Jingjing asked in a hoarse voice, "Did Bai Ming give it to you?"
Lu Ze laughed out loud: "Hahaha, how could Bai Ming let those two old guys get away with it? After the court hearing, he said he couldn't afford to support his parents, so he wouldn't give a penny. The judge sent someone to investigate and found out, wow, Bai Ming actually gave all his earned property to Teacher Zhuang for free, and even wrote an IOU for 10 billion. In other words, he didn't have a penny and was still carrying a 10 billion debt. His parents were dumbfounded, hahaha..."
Lu Ze laughed so hard that he fell backwards, but Xu Jingjing's face turned completely gloomy.
Lu Ze didn't notice the sudden drop in temperature in the car at all, and continued, "Bai Ming also said that he would stop working from next month, and his income would be completely cut off. He would have to rely on his boyfriend for support, and it would be impossible for him to support his parents. The judge had no choice but to sentence him to give his parents 600 yuan per month.
"Hahaha, one hundred million turned into six hundred, that's hilarious. His parents spent hundreds of thousands of dollars hiring a famous lawyer to win the case, and now they've lost and can't even afford the legal fees. They're currently arguing with the lawyer. That lawyer isn't a good person either, having started exposing negative information about Bai Ming's parents online."
"Did you know? Bai Ming's father is a beast. When Bai Ming was a child, he hung him up and beat him with a belt, nearly to death. His neighbor still can't forget the scene of Bai Ming crawling to her door covered in blood, begging for help. The neighbor called the police and left a police record, and the hospital also has medical records. Bai Ming's father is now condemned by everyone."
Lu Ze spat and said with disgust: "This kind of scum is not worthy of being a father! If it were me, I wouldn't give him a penny!"
Having said that, he suddenly fell silent, because he realized that he was once a scumbag, and Xu Jingjing sitting in the back row was the scumbag among scumbags.
Once again, an indescribable awkwardness spread in the car.
After a long while, Xu Jingjing asked casually, "Where's Chen Liang?"
"He's still in a mental hospital. I don't know what his parents are thinking. They clearly want him to be forgiven if he confesses his crime, but they refuse to let him. They'd rather have a crazy son than a healthy one. They're really no different from Bai Ming's parents."
Xu Jingjing clenched her fists and asked anxiously, "Is Xu Yaya's ghost still haunting him?"
Lu Ze was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't know either. He must be suffering from a mental illness. Anyway, I haven't seen a ghost in ten years. How about you?"
Xu Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief: "Me too."
"Your father is buried in Nanshan Cemetery. Do you want to go and pay your respects to him?" Lu Ze asked caringly.
Xu Jingjing immediately shook her head: "No need."
Realizing she had rejected the offer too decisively, she added, "I'll go back, take a shower, have a good sleep, and go again tomorrow. I'm not in good shape right now, and he'll be worried if he sees me."
Lu Ze nodded: "That's what we should do."
Xu Yong had long ago died of pneumonia caused by AIDS, his body rotting in a pool of blood before being discovered by a neighbor. The once powerful man could never have imagined that his end would be so tragic.
However, Xu Jingjing showed no concern for her father's death and didn't even ask any detailed questions. After saying goodbye to Lu Ze, she opened the door of the rental house with her key. Soon after putting down her luggage, she went to the supermarket downstairs and bought a few knives, a bundle of rope, some rolls of tape, a meat grinder, and a chainsaw.
There is no doubt that ten years in prison did not change her, but instead made her master more vicious methods.
But what she didn't know was that Lu Ze, who had turned and left, took out his cell phone and sent a text message to a very familiar phone number: [I helped you bring her into that cabin.]
Xu Yaya: [Very good. See you later.]
Seeing this text message that signified freedom, Lu Ze cried with joy while leaning on the steering wheel.
