Chapter 24 New Vest Appears



The Psychic Guild is also known as the 'Low-level Psychic Mutual Aid Guild', but since the Psychic Guild fell into the hands of the nobles six years ago, its nature has undergone a drastic change.

From "mutual assistance among low-level psychics", it became a knife in the hands of the nobles.

Currently, most members of the Superpower Guild are bounty hunters, who complete the tasks assigned by the guild to earn money and wealth. Many of these tasks are the work of nobles, and in the eyes of many people, they are accomplices and executioners.

Despite this, people still join in every day.

The receptionist in charge of handling formalities on that day handed the new bounty hunter an identification card, then waited for the next person to come forward with a polite smile.

She saw a young man.

He had black hair that contrasted with his pale face. He had a pair of red pupils, but they did not reveal a trace of vitality, but were like completely solidified dead water.

On his right ear, a blue pendant earring hung in his hair.

The black-haired young man passed by the man who had just left. His body was not as strong as that of the sturdy man, and he looked particularly thin in contrast.

And his height just reaches the strong man's arm.

He really doesn't look like someone who would do this for a living. The front desk staff defined this person in their mind.

The front desk had seen many people become bounty hunters and then disappear from this world, and she didn't think that this thin-looking young man could be competent for this job. You know, the targets of bounty hunters are basically people with special abilities.

There are four types of superpowers, with many different branches. Some superpowers even have unexpected additional abilities.

The Psychic Guild is responsible for distributing missions, but not for collecting intelligence. Every year, most bounty hunters die due to insufficient intelligence, and the identities of hunters and prey are reversed, and they are killed by the prey.

This is a profession that requires you to risk your life all the time.

But the front desk clerk didn't say it because she knew it was none of her business. Whether the man died in the mission or not, it had nothing to do with her.

She just felt a little sorry for the young man's face, after all, he was really handsome.

"Name." The receptionist started working with a smile.

"Li Baige." said the young man.

The voice was as cold and indifferent as his face, but it was pleasant to the ear, like a stream of clear spring water in the mountains.

The receptionist felt even more regretful, but her hands kept moving.

Soon she handed over her ID card with both hands: "Please keep your ID card safe. Now you can go to the bounty hall to choose the mission you want to take."

...

The bounty hall is right next to it, just walk a little further to the right.

After putting the newly-made ID card into her coat pocket, Li Li went straight there.

She has a big disadvantage compared to the comic natives, which is that she is not strong enough.

In the real world, her only sport is the 800-meter race. Although she is not particularly useless, she cannot be compared with the battle-hardened natives in the comic world.

She had signed up for a Sanda class since she started traveling through comics, but the teachers in the peaceful world were not very good at killing people, so she made very little progress.

Since she was here to investigate anyway, she might as well take the opportunity to train her combat awareness and the supernatural powers she had just acquired.

While thinking, she soon walked to the bounty hall.

There is a huge display screen, divided into thousands of small parts, three major areas. The leftmost is low level, the middle is medium level, and the rightmost is high level.

The missions of the psychic guild are divided into nine levels from F to SSS, just like the psychic levels. Generally speaking, C-level psychics can accept B-level missions, and so on. Low-level psychics can only accept one person, while mid- and high-level psychics can accept multiple people, and high-level psychics can even choose to form a group.

There are the most low-level tasks, followed by mid-level tasks, and the high-level tasks section is completely blank.

Li Li is currently at level C. After thinking for a moment, she went directly to the intermediate area.

Soon, her eyes stopped on a task.

C-rank mission, the bounty is to find a D-rank psychic who kills 20 low-rank psychics in a row.

This bounty was raised by thirteen people. They are the families of twenty victims who want to avenge their loved ones and therefore seek help from the bounty hunter.

D-level...

Li Li thought about it and felt that it would be better to be cautious when there was no need to risk her life, so she decided to just test the waters with the first mission first.

What's more, the information provided by the wanted person was very comprehensive, and it gave the area where this D-level psychic often appeared, saving her from searching randomly.

She took on the task.

...

While the front desk was finishing another procedure, I saw the young man leaving the hall.

His steps were decisive, without any hesitation, and his indifferent profile passed by the window and walked forward.

Did that person give up? The receptionist thought, and then continued with her work.

...

Yi Xiangnan is a bounty hunter.

But he only takes on missions for the money, and will accept missions even when funds are not tight.

He accepted a mid-level mission today: a bounty for a D-level who killed twenty low-level psychics in a row. This bounty was raised by the victim's family, and it was the type that Yi Xiangnan would accept.

But now he felt that he had miscalculated.

The mimicry ability allowed his palms to transform into the sharp claws of a snow wolf. He huddled in the desolate courtyard, standing on the weeds, with his back against the wall, gasping heavily.

That psychic is not D-level, but C-level!

He was misled by the intelligence!

The C-rank mutant outside was wandering around, saying from time to time: "I'm going to find you..."

The footsteps gradually became louder.

Yi Xiangnan held his breath, he quietly stepped back and hid himself behind the wall.

The opponent is also a mimic type, killing people with special abilities in order to prey on others of the same type, and Yi Xiangnan is also a prey of the opponent.

After a fight, Yi Xiangnan only knew that his opponent could control his hair at will. After he transformed, there was a wound of nearly 20 centimeters under the hair on his arm, which was caused by the hair that was like a steel needle.

The opponent's range limit is definitely one hundred meters, so he must create a distance beyond the opponent's range.

The dilapidated tile houses in the suburbs were lined up one after another, some of which even had no roofs. Yi Xiangnan chose a place where the courtyard wall had collapsed in half, which looked dilapidated but could actually hide people in the blind spot.

And Yi Xiangnan had indeed entered the opponent's blind spot.

Yi Xiangnan's mimicry could enhance his hearing, and he heard the other person passing through the yard and walking away into the distance.

Is he gone? Yi Xiangnan wondered.

The footsteps were fading away, as if they had walked over a hundred meters in the wrong direction.

Yi Xiangnan took a deep breath, and then he found that his breathing was trembling.

Did he survive?

“So it’s here.”

At this moment a voice was heard suddenly.

Instantly, the hair like steel needles stretched out and pierced through the wall. Yi Xiangnan rolled forward to avoid it, but the next moment, the hair stretched out again as if it had life and pierced through the wall completely, knocking over the entire wall.

"Bomb"

Pieces of gravel fell between the hair, but the long hair was still moving towards Yi Xiangnan!

The hunter stood behind the collapsed wall, his eyes filled with hunger and desire.

Time seemed to stand still, and in Yi Xiangnan's pupils were the gradually enlarged long hair and the sharp spikes at the tips of the long hair.

He will die, Yi Xiangnan thought.

The supernatural class cannot be overthrown, and he, who is at level D, cannot escape the pursuit of level C.

And now he would die here, bringing his life to an end.

He should accept his fate, but he really doesn't want to!

"puff!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was heard.

But Yi Xiangnan didn't feel any pain, even the long hair that almost pierced him shrank back in an instant, as if everything that just happened was an illusion.

Yi Xiangnan knew that was not the case, he almost died, and now...

Did anyone rescue him?

He subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from, and he saw a dagger piercing the body of the psychic.

The psychic's eyes were still filled with the desire to enjoy the delicious food. He slowly lowered his head to look at his chest, then turned his head back.

They saw a young man with black hair.

Walking through these ruins is like walking in a back garden.

The black coat wrapped around his body, making him look even thinner. He stretched out his hand, revealing his slender fingers under the black gloves. When he clenched his hand slightly, a long knife appeared in his hand.

"C-level?" said the black-haired young man. His red eyes were like inorganic rubies, beautiful and cold.

It was like the change in the level of the prey was not worth his attention at all.

Because he is the stronger hunter.

But none of that mattered to Yi Xiangnan. No matter who this person was, what his purpose was, or whether he did it for the sake of convenience, none of that mattered. Yi Xiangnan only had one sentence in his mind:

He saved himself!

...

"Class C?" When Li Li asked this question, she had actually confirmed this guess.

Her ability can turn illusion into reality, and reality into illusion. For example, she can conjure up a long sword out of thin air to block Yiming's attack. She actually experienced the process of creating illusions and making them come true.

For D-rank, her ability is 100% successful, but for C-rank and above, the part where the illusion becomes reality has only a 5% chance of success.

When she first arrived, she saw her target, who was completely focused on the wall, fabricating the sound of his own footsteps leaving and looking for his prey. So the target didn't notice that she had used a phantom gun to shoot a fake arrow at him.

Immediately afterwards, the probability judgment failed and the arrow disappeared like a shadow.

At that moment, Li Li realized that the information provided by the Superpower Guild was wrong and the target this time was not rank D.

There was an unexpected incident in the plan, but Li Li felt like she was used to this kind of thing.

She pulled out the dagger she had prepared earlier, threw it with her backhand, and then created an illusion in front of C-rank.

It was just like the dagger before was materialized in this way.

"...Magic type?" As expected, the target was misled by her. He looked at the long knife in Li Li's hand and said uninterestedly, "Can't plunder, useless, get out!"

Before he finished speaking, his long hair hardened and stabbed towards Li Li!

Mimicry is able to place things of similar substance within its own range, like a bell against a bronze wall.

However, the mimicry type can only change existing items and cannot create things out of thin air.

Creating things out of thin air is a magical ability.

Li Li felt the heavy weight in her hand and hid her smile behind a cold expression.

The next moment, the shadows of ten long swords appeared beside her.

When the target truly believes that she is a sorcerer, her illusion is real.

At this moment, the phantom turns into reality!

Li Li stood between the long swords she had conjured up and raised her hand with a cold expression.

C-rank is more suitable for gaining experience, she thought.

At the same time, a long sword shot out from her side and collided with the sharp long hair.

"Buzz"

The author has something to say:

Thanks for subscribing, little angel! mua!

This chapter uses the name of the little angel with the ID Huanzi, Yi Xiangnan! Because the plot requires it, some settings have been modified.

I found that I couldn't update if I didn't say twice a day. Now I swear to update twice a day tomorrow. Let's see if I can reach a high word count tomorrow. Hehehe

One more thing, can you please not mention other novels in the comments section? I don’t really like them. QAQ
