Chapter 15 The Martial Artists Howl and Howl—
While praising Chu Jue's strong, independent womanly qualities with various adjectives, Yun Qiandu also offered suggestions to Chu Jue to fulfill her desire to kill more people.
Ying Yi took the initiative and directly helped her create a forum account and directed her to a certain post.
In the mutual aid section, there is a newly posted bounty notice. The poster highlighted the time and location, and the keywords were woman in black, martial artist, murder and robbery, possession of inheritance, and the last note: black.
She was able to identify with the first few points, and although there were some errors, it was probably her. But where did this "hand-held inheritance" come from in the last point?
Chu Jue was a little curious and recalled his situation at the time by looking at the keyword "black".
The black thing... could it be referring to the designer?
She did indeed appear with the designer, but the designer later disappeared.
So, did the people in the Lunar Eclipse Group treat the designer as a "legacy" like a puppet? Did they think she possessed a similar "legacy" to theirs?
Is inheritance something that can be defined so easily?
No wonder the ants rushed up to kill her for no reason; they mistakenly believed she had a legacy, which is why they wanted to kill her.
It's just that I'm not as skilled as others and I made a mistake.
But now, in their mouths, he has become the one who killed and stole the treasure... However, Chu Jue doesn't care about these things. Judging from the result, it's not entirely unjust.
Anyway, she'll prove her guilty next time.
Chu Jue browsed through the replies and found that they were all replies from members of the Lunar Eclipse Group helping to bump the thread; the person who actually provided the clues had not appeared.
The bounty reward was initially a certain number of spirit stones, but after no one responded, a condition was added: "qualification to join the Lunar Eclipse Group".
It was only after this comment was added that it went viral, with many commenters expressing their envy.
Although he wasn't interested in these things, Chu Jue readily replied to the post with "I have information".
She had some ideas in mind and decided to take the initiative. Thinking about the merit points that would soon be credited to her account, Chu Jue couldn't help but feel excited.
...Unfortunately, I waited and waited but never received a reply from the poster.
Chu decided that using the forum as an office area would be inefficient.
-
"Boss, there seems to be some news about the spirit puppets."
The man in charge of public opinion monitoring noticed a certain reply on the forum. After confirming with the person who posted it, he received the location coordinates from them.
"Authentic?" he asked to confirm.
【User 123****1111】: With IP transparent, why would they need to deceive you? If you go too late, you might miss her, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to run into her again next time.
According to 123, he was a lucky citizen who recognized the person whose profile matched the wanted poster. The person repeatedly asked if the reward would be honored, which made him seem like a very short-sighted person.
I don't even know how to speak to him with respect.
[Man]: Received. I'll arrange a spot for you after verification. Thanks, bro. [/clasped hands]
【User 123****1111】: Hehe [/smile]
The other person's expression also suggested they were an older man, likely a middle-aged man with some unrealistic expectations of spiritual power.
The man checked the coordinates sent by the other party, and they were indeed not far from the location where Lou Ge was murdered. Compared to those fake messages from all over the country, this one was more authentic.
The man's superior, with satisfaction in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.
"Well done, I'll leave this to you."
"Okay, boss, just wait for my good news."
-
After contacting the Lunar Eclipse Group, Chu Jue waited in place for them to come to him.
She had originally been brought here by Fang Zhiyi and Da Huang for a stroll, but unexpectedly, the other party replied to her message at this very moment.
He explained the situation to his teacher and junior sister, who both expressed their understanding and allowed Chu to leave the place, parting ways peacefully and wishing each other well.
"Woof woof woof woof—" This is Big Yellow running on the grass, letting her true nature run free.
"Woof! Woof!" This is Fang Zhiyi's bark at the mountain stronghold of Big Yellow... No, Fang Zhiyi herself is a dog.
Having heard her speak in a human voice so often, Chu Jue was still a little unaccustomed to it at first.
The two dogs darted around her, one in front of the other.
The radar detector has a built-in chip that can be set to a specified path or simulate a random mode. This was the first time Chu Jue had encountered a situation where he was surrounded by radar detectors wandering around aimlessly.
She clearly recognized that the biological dog was an uncontrollable, incomprehensible, and energetic breed.
A mysterious array of dogs surrounded her.
Chu Jue was momentarily unable to distinguish between spirit beasts and dogs.
"I've heard that you humans use this method to relieve stress." Fang Zhiyi even had a spare moment to chat with her for a few minutes. "Why don't you join in and call out too?"
After careful consideration, Chu Jue decided to politely decline.
"I……"
Before she could even utter her refusal, several bold numbers suddenly appeared in Yu Guangzhong's eyes, floating far away through the grass.
The floating numbers... are the people with merit points above their heads.
Chu Jue finally saw a value other than 0, it seemed that the person she was waiting for had arrived.
The other party was completely unaware that their furtive behavior had been seen through.
So this is what you see when you turn on automatic detection in crowded places. Chu Jue thought to himself, it's really hard to ignore.
-
"Sure enough, this woman in black does match Xiao Jia's description... Xiao Jia, come and see if she's the woman who killed Brother Lou."
In the bushes, a man in green was muttering to himself.
The person called Xiao Jia wriggled a couple of times and slowly crawled over.
"Yes, it's her..."
Xiao Jia shuddered, still remembering the harm this woman had caused him last time.
The injury on his leg, inflicted by Chu Jue, had not yet healed. Even with the help of many spirit stones, it could not be completely repaired, and he still felt a dull ache when he walked.
"Ha, we finally caught her. Brothers, we must kill her to avenge Brother Lou!"
Because of the ambush, the man in green dared not speak loudly and quietly lit a fire.
"Revenge! Revenge!"
"She seems to have seen us..." The man in camouflage next to him looked at the man in green with disbelief, asking with his eyes.
"How is that possible? It's so far away. Do you think she has X-ray vision? We only knew her coordinates because of our informants. How could she have known about us beforehand?"
"No, Brother Green, look, she's walking towards us!"
"Uh," the man in green said, somewhat uncertainly, "it seems it really is."
Realizing his tone wasn't quite right, he changed to a calmer one and said, "Perfect, let's get closer and kill her."
Killing her would allow him to obtain the inheritance she possessed, and as long as he could obtain the inheritance, his cultivation level would be greatly enhanced.
The news of Lou Ge's murder and the theft of his inheritance has spread within the group. The group leader has ordered that anyone who can bring back the inheritance will receive a corresponding reward.
Xiao Jia, who escaped from the crime scene, kept saying that "that woman had more than one inheritance." The man in green seized the opportunity and used many means to get his superiors to assign the task to him.
If you snatch one and hand one over, it's practically a net profit.
However, Xiao Jia kept emphasizing that this woman was very capable and that he shouldn't take on this task... but this was definitely because Xiao Jia was too incompetent.
She's just a woman. Even if she manages to kill Brother Lou by sheer luck, how powerful can she be?
However, the man in green kept these words in mind and observed from a distance before launching a direct attack without being careless.
Opportunity favors the prepared mind, just like him.
Once they capture this woman to avenge Brother Lou, even if they don't get the inheritance, the benefits the team leader can give them won't be much less.
At that time, he might be able to take the position of captain of their squad.
"Wait a minute, Green Bro, she seems to have disappeared."
The man in camouflage swallowed hard, not understanding why he had lost sight of the person in the blink of an eye.
"Disappeared? What do you mean 'disappeared'? You can lose sight of someone even when you're looking at them, you really are..."
The man in green was about to scold his underling when he suddenly felt something pressing against his neck.
Are you looking for me?
A emotionless female voice sounded from behind him.
Was it that woman in black? How did she appear here in the blink of an eye?
The man in green's pupils contracted sharply. His subconscious reaction was faster than the disbelief in his mind. He launched an attack almost instantly, his right fist carrying a sharp gust of wind as he slammed it behind him.
He sneered, "You're asking for it!"
It's ridiculous that the enemy would choose to engage him in close combat.
You should know that he is a powerful martial artist known as a close-combat maniac. Even a third-tier spiritualist cannot gain any advantage against him.
This is his absolute territory.
Only a complete idiot who doesn't understand him would be foolish enough to shorten the distance between him.
Before the green-clad man could finish his internal mockery, a powerful spiritual force suddenly seized his entire body, and he felt as if his blood was being drawn away by some overwhelming force.
Unable to move, the man in green stared blankly ahead, his vision filled only with the terrified expressions of his companions.
He seemed to want to continue speaking, but only indistinct sounds came from his throat.
His body suddenly stiffened, his mouth remained open, and his jaw trembled uncontrollably, making a teeth-grinding "click-click" sound.
As his hair stood on end, the blood vessels under the green-clad man's skin burst, and his entire body turned crimson in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, even his body began to tremble, and adrenaline could not alleviate his pain; alternating sensations of cold and burning heat caused by hypothermia.
He could clearly feel his vitality rapidly slipping away, like a plant that had been drained of its moisture, withering away as if its life force had been accelerated, visibly shriveling up.
My vision gradually turned crimson, and the consciousness connected to my empty brain disappeared.
The moment the green-clad man's merit points dropped to 0, Chu Jue could feel a tiny surge of spiritual energy returning, and the pulse under her fingertips stopped.
This number indeed represents the merit points that an individual can provide.
She let go and casually tossed the dry skin aside like trash.
Chu Jue felt somewhat disgusted by the blood on the ground and took a step to the side.
With every gesture, the oppressive aura she exuded almost materialized, enveloping Xiao Jia and the others.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on Chu Jue's face. The freckles at the corners of her eyes appeared even more pronounced, making her look like a deadly demon.
But her indifferent expression made it seem like just an ordinary afternoon.
Xiao Jia's legs trembled uncontrollably. Although the man in green was not a spiritualist, he was by no means inferior to one.
He joined the Lunar Eclipse Group with great fanfare thanks to his superb protective aura, but this woman dealt with him without even changing her breathing.
He recalled the excruciating pain of broken bones he had experienced and deeply regretted his actions that day.
He had assumed that between martial artists, the man in green would have a slight edge, but unexpectedly… no, that's not right. Compared to martial artists and spiritualists, she was more like…
Chu Jue was unaware of the dying person's thoughts; she was examining the varying merit points before her.
This comparison revealed that one person's score was exceptionally low, and Chu Jue couldn't help but look at him first.
It looks familiar.
This appears to be one of those men I've seen before, the ones who hang out with ants.
What makes it different from other defective products?
In despair, Xiao Jia was horrified to find Chu Jue's gaze fixed on him. He trembled so much that he almost lost control of his bladder. Countless thoughts of running away flashed through his mind, but his legs were too weak to be controlled at all.
Just as he was about to beg for mercy, the woman in black spoke first:
"It's you?"
