Chapter 99
[You have killed [Fu Duoxing - Demonized]!] 】
[You have been upgraded!] 】
[Your current level is lv.41]
Originally, Su Xingyuan's experience value was close to level 41, and now he has directly reached that level. Thanks to Fu Duoxing's dedication, he was worried that his experience value was not enough and even upgraded him before giving him the fight.
Su Xingyuan was very moved, and scattered the ashes a little more vigorously.
He took back [Fire Crossing] and added all the new attribute points to [Intelligence]. He opened the portal and sent back the natives who came to help. Only a group of hunters who had not yet reacted were left, staring at Fu Duxing's ashes in a daze.
After Su Xingyuan finished his work, he turned around and said with great satisfaction: "How great! We don't even need to be cremated."
Hunters from the Zhuichuan Guild: “…”
You can talk.
But after seeing the magic patterns on Fu Duoxing's body and hearing his last words, no matter how unwilling they were to believe it, they had to accept the fact that the president of the number one guild in the country was actually a spy from the Demon King's City.
Ning Baiquan's face also looked very ugly.
Logically speaking, Su Xingyuan should be happy that he had directly caught Fu Duoxing. However, when he thought that the things in J City were manipulated by Fu Duoxing, he felt a surge of high blood pressure.
The other party has been entrenched in Country C for so many years and has been trusted and respected by countless people. No one doubts him at all. If he had not been caught this time, what else could he have done in the future?
Did they sell Country C directly? ?
At this time, the white car that Ning Baiquan had asked someone to check before also gave the result.
The car was indeed driven by Fu Duoxing.
In the surveillance footage of the entire road, the technicians searched every frame before capturing the face of the person in the passenger seat, which was Fu Duoxing.
Originally his face was blocked and could not be seen, but after the white car suddenly lost control, it became much easier to capture his face.
Ning Baiquan checked the time when the car had problems.
At this time...he had just sent the photo of pollutants that Su Xingyuan sold him to several of his more trusted subordinates.
Ning Baiquan's eyes gradually darkened.
——It is impossible for Fu Duoxing to suddenly fall ill while driving. It could only be that he saw something at that time, and then the polluted magic power in his body rioted. For a moment, the progress of demonization was somewhat out of his control.
It seems that there are people among his direct subordinates arranged by Fu Duoxing.
Ning Baiquan was not surprised. Fu Duoxing had been a powerful S-class hunter from the beginning and was at the top of Country C's combat power pyramid. Although no one knew when he became a member of the Demon King's City, if he wanted to do anything, it would be extremely easy.
Going further, Ning Baiquan thought of the B-level hunter who wanted to kill Su Xingyuan when he intercepted Su Xingyuan at the high-speed rail station, but was killed in return. He also thought of Fu Duoxing, who seemed to have a lot of secret information when several major guilds were fighting for Su Xingyuan.
Ning Baiquan: “…”
Despite so many doubts, he never suspected Fu Duoxing. It can only be said that the other party's business is really very successful.
And all of this... Su Xingyuan noticed it all, and even pointed the finger directly at Fu Duoxing, without any hesitation, and without any hesitation because of his brilliant resume and past contributions.
Ning Baiquan subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the black-haired hunter, only to see him smiling and saying to Xin Yunxi: "Now, you can tell me the cause and effect."
Xin Yunxi, who was secretly stuffed with a dragon ball, has basically recovered the clear memory he had before he was transformed into a demon.
She pursed her lips, glanced at the ashes of the culprit, and continued to explain what she had said before: "I went to awaken my ability, and then took the level assessment, but the result was not satisfactory... In other words, my ability is simply not suitable for combat, because its only function is to share my brother's pressure... I can plunder magic power or vitality from him."
Ning Baiquan's eyes fell on her, somewhat surprised.
There is actually such ability?
But think about their information. Their mother was seriously ill when they were young, and the brother and sister depended on each other. They could die for each other, so it is normal for them to awaken such an ability, just like twins are more likely to awaken telepathy with each other.
Xin Yunxi: "I didn't think it was necessary to tell anyone about this ability, so I didn't tell anyone except the staff at the time. But the next day, I found that my brother who was working away from home hadn't returned."
At this point, Xin Yunxi's face turned pale: "...I went to look for my brother and found him lying next to the garbage dump. I carried him home and saw magic patterns appear on his body."
She didn't know what it was at the time, so she called 120, but the hospital couldn't find anything wrong. She wanted to ask the Hunter Association for help, but on the way to the Hunter Association, she learned from the gossip of "passers-by" that this was a sign of demonization.
Once the demonization begins, there is no way to stop it. In order to prevent monsters from hurting people, the Hunter Association will secretly execute all monsters. The Xingyuan hunter was the object of hatred of the monsters. He was the one who would take action the fastest when he saw a threatening creature.
"So... I went back." Xin Yunxi's face turned a little paler. "I thought at the time that I couldn't let him die. So I used my ability to transfer the contaminated magic power in his body to myself, in order to slow down his demonization process... But it was useless. Just like those people said, once the demonization begins, there is no way to stop it."
"Just when I wanted to go to the Hunter Association and tell them that my brother and I had both become demons, Fu Duxing appeared."
"He asked me if I wanted to cooperate."
Fu Duoxing said that he was the president of the First Guild and was doing research on restoring demonized humans to normal. He confessed that he needed some people who were in the process of becoming demonized as experimental subjects.
He was sure that Xin Yunxi would not push his brother out, but would sacrifice himself as a test subject to give his brother a chance to recover.
Fu Duoxing has a great reputation in Country C. Xin Yunxi even grew up listening to his legend. At that time, she was desperate and unconscious due to the influence of demonization, so she agreed to his request without much thought.
Then she was taken to the underground laboratory. Xin Yunxi didn't know what kind of experiment they needed to do, but she always felt that something was wrong with what was happening to her.
Until she received even more terrifying contaminated magic power from Xin Yunting.
This magic power does not even belong to Xin Yunting, it was forced upon him from the outside world!
Only at this time did Xin Yunxi realize that she might have been cheated.
Because her body had become demonized, she also gained combat power, and took advantage of Fu Duoxing's absence to attack the underground laboratory.
She found their plans and information, and combined them with the clues she extracted from the staff, she got a result that was hard for her to accept -
Because of their natural ability to restrain and save each other, and because of Xin Yunting's special physique...
The Xin brothers and sisters are the ones that Fu Duxing has been searching for for many years. They can serve as containers to allow the monsters from hell to bypass the time limit of the portal and come directly to the world.
Otherwise, ordinary bodies would not be able to withstand the arrival of high-level monsters from hell, and ordinary monsters would not be able to directly cause the portal to collapse and explode.
And everything she encountered - the leakage of her ability, Xin Yunting's transformation into a demon, the death of her mother...
All of them were written by Fu Duoxing.
This hypocritical guy...destroyed everything she cared about!
It was at that time that her hatred for Fu Duxing reached its peak.
Regret, resentment, and anger burned endlessly in her chest. Her magic power continued to rise, and her body quickly turned into a demon. White mist began to appear in her eyes, making it difficult for her to have a clear vision.
However, when she saw the reflective object, she realized that it was not fog, but white flocs appearing in her eyes.
She looked... like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
Suddenly she realized that today's exposure of conspiracy and her outburst were probably part of Fu Duoxing's plan.
He is "nurturing" her.
However, she couldn't stop her emotions. The more she did so, the more uncontrollable her resentment became.
Xin Yunxi began to lose control.
She destroyed everything crazily in the underground laboratory, but just when she was about to leave the underground base, Fu Duoxing finally arrived and appeared in front of her - which was also in front of the door to the outside world.
"Xin Yunting is in my hands."
That was all he said.
Xin Yunxi regained her senses instantly.
She subconsciously stood there, not knowing what to do. Her whole body was shaking and her mind was in a mess.
Then she lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, Xin Yunting had been completely turned into a container. Her body was on the verge of collapse after being repeatedly used, and was abandoned in the base. The S-class portal in J City exploded as soon as it appeared, turning J City into purgatory without giving humans any buffer time.
“…Then it became like this.”
Xin Yunxi curled the corners of her mouth.
Su Xingyuan lowered his eyes and thought: "Fu Duoxing didn't kill you, and gave you a chance to crawl out of the base..."
This couldn't be Fu Duoxing's mistake. Apart from the fact that Su Xingyuan's sudden appearance disrupted all his plans and made him a little confused, his other actions were secretive and cautious and would not leave such a big gap.
Su Xingyuan thought about it from another perspective and concluded, "He wants the hunters to kill you with their own hands."
Hearing this, Ning Baiquan's face turned even darker.
Su Xingyuan showed a puzzled expression again: "I remember I left you some money before, why is Xin Yunting still going out to work?"
After looting the office of the Paishan Guild, he threw all the useless gold, silver and treasures to the Xin brothers and sisters, and the number should have been quite large.
Xin Yunxi shook her head and said dejectedly, "It was all used to treat my mother's illness."
Treating an illness is the most expensive thing. What’s even more hateful is that the hospital had long been taken over by Fu Duoxing. The final result, of course, was that the patient could not be saved, and the money spent was several times the amount.
An adult could be cheated, let alone this pair of inexperienced siblings who were no match for Fu Duoxing.
After recalling all of this, Xin Yunxi said in a trance: "...If I hadn't awakened this strange ability..."
Their "value" would not be seen by people like Fu Duoxing, and she would not have lost her mother and her brother.
Su Xingyuan interrupted her and said calmly: "The reason he targeted you was because of me. Your ability was just a surprise he discovered."
He spread his hands, and his words were naturally gentle and soothing: "If you want to count it this way, this matter should be blamed on me."
Xin Yunxi stopped talking.
Su Xing Yuanze turned his head and looked at Ning Baiquan.
"Regarding that hospital, the staff member who leaked Xin Yunxi's abilities, and the traitor in the guild... Vice Director Ning should be able to handle it all, right?"
Ning Baiquan nodded and said seriously: "If it's not clean this time, I will resign."
After hearing this, the player ignored the mess and the bloody storm that might be caused by the fall of the Zhuichuan Guild, and directly took Xin Yunxi and Xin Yunting back to their home.
Xin Yunxi was in no mood to look at the surroundings. She lowered her head and thought for several times before finally speaking out what was in her mind: "Xu Xingyuan Hunter... you'd better kill us. If we stay, we will always be a hidden danger..."
Once the demonization process begins, there is no way to stop it. Although she is still conscious now, there is no telling when she might do something to hurt others.
"If other demonized hunters came in here, this is possible." Su Xingyuan blinked, and his tone finally became relaxed again.
He asked, "Did you feel anything?"
Xin Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously followed Su Xingyuan's words and began to sense the surroundings.
Afterwards, she was surprised to find that she had a close connection with this world. This world automatically regarded her as a part of it and even gave her shelter.
The black-haired hunter smiled and said, "The sudden transformation to demon may be a little disturbing, but you are now residents of the territory, not guests who have come here temporarily for refuge, so how can it have a bad impact?"
"There are many residents like you here."
Hearing the last sentence, Xin Yunxi widened her eyes slightly.
She slowly relaxed and looked in a certain direction, only to find that it was the scene in the S-level portal that appeared in J City.
Su Xingyuan: "No doubt, this is the underground city."
His tone was understated.
"Now, it's yours."
"Mine?" Xin Yunxi felt that her brain was having trouble functioning and almost crashed again: "I can own an underground city...? But, what's going on?"
Su Xingyuan showed a very sincere expression: "I said I don't understand the principle either, do you believe me?"
Xin Yunxi: “…”
I don't really believe it, but I kind of want to believe it.
With mixed feelings, she stepped into the dungeon. Almost the moment she stepped in, she discovered that a subtle magical power was repairing her body, restoring her lost magic power, and even nourishing her spirit.
“……!”
So amazing!
She lowered her head and felt that Xin Yunting was in the same condition. The terrible symbols of demonization on his body also became a little more normal - at least not so ugly anymore.
"To put it simply, because of your status as a container, you are now considered to be creatures of this dungeon, and this dungeon was taken down by me, so it is now mine."
Su Xingyuan said succinctly: "Now as its 'children', you will of course be nurtured by the underground city."
He added at the right moment: "The process of gestation is the process of going from a low-level monster to a high-level monster, from having no intelligence to having intelligence. You have human rationality, and you will only become more sober in the future."
Xin Yunxi took some time to digest these words.
——So, she no longer needs to worry about her transformation into a demon, nor does she need to feel inferior because of her weakness. She will have a home of her own and will never be bullied by other humans again.
Xin Yunxi's breathing became rapid, and she suddenly realized that this was exactly the effect that the Demon City wanted - to retain human rationality while taking advantage of the fact that the abilities of creatures would be greatly amplified after being demonized, thereby multiplying the abilities of hunters.
And judging by how decisively Su Xingyuan killed those monsters, ordinary monsters probably didn't have a chance to be transformed into residents of the territory.
The reason they were able to get this opportunity was probably because the monster that occupied Xin Yunting's body brought an underground city that could be robbed by Su Xingyuan; and after the monster died, the "monster" related to this underground city, of course, became the two of them.
Xin Yunxi murmured, "Does this count as... after a long journey, you may think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find a new village?"
Before she could finish her words, tears began to fall. Her sobbing gradually became louder, and she looked no different from the red-eyed look she had when she first saw Su Xingyuan.
The black-haired hunter said nothing, but brought her to Leafa.
Leafa, who had already comfortably accepted her role as the chief of the Novice Village, calmly and skillfully began to coax the little girl.
Although she didn't know what happened exactly, but when she saw Xin Yunxi's appearance, she felt that the other person must be very miserable and worthy of pity.
Seeing that the two girls were getting along well, Su Xingyuan returned to his home and fell into deep thought while petting his dragon.
He felt that his kind, calm and considerate side seemed to have degenerated a bit. In the past, he could instantly think of thirty ways to appease Xin Yunxi and implement them very naturally, but now the only thing on his mind was the "career upgrade" in the mission reward that had not yet been carried out.
Su Xingyuan said to Hei Long solemnly: "This is the harm that games do to the human brain."
The black dragon cub, which has recovered its original size: "?"
It can't understand what its owner is saying, but this is normal, it's used to it.
And Suxing Yuanze clicked on the [Career Upgrade] and checked the details.
[Event: Career Upgrade]
[Opening remaining time: 240h]
[Opening conditions: 1. Player level reaches lv.40]
[2. The total adjustment level in the Tour Mini-game reaches lv.5]
[3. [Home] Level reaches stage 6]
Su Xingyuan checked himself.
The player's own level is 41, which is enough, and [Home] has reached stage 8, which is also enough. The only thing that is not enough is the level of co-tuning.
Su Xingyuan's current coordination level is only lv.3, which is still two levels away from lv.5.
However, the circumnavigation event was triggered randomly, and there were still ten days left, so Su Xingyuan couldn't be anxious, nor was he very anxious.
He closed the pop-up window, reorganized the potions in his backpack, and checked the consumption this time.
Because he had taken a lot of good things from various parties before - among them, Xu Banmeng gave him the most high-level potions. Although the consumption of potions was huge in this incident, he was not without stock, so he would not be penniless overnight.
Su Xingyuan lay down on the bed in his [Home] with satisfaction and refreshed his status.
At the same time, players who were mentally exhausted due to long-term gaming also quit the game and took off their gaming helmets.
[You have logged out of the game]
Su Xingyuan closed his eyes to dispel the slight dizziness as if he was in a different world, stood up, did a few casual stretching exercises, then poured himself a glass of water, walked to the window and opened the curtains.
The dusk was as red as blood, with fiery clouds appearing in the sky and spreading into the distance. The rich colors lifted people’s mood and made their minds much clearer.
Su Xingyuan finished the water in two or three gulps, and as usual, he checked his phone to see if there was any information he needed attention. He skillfully took out his phone and started ordering takeout.
He never gives any platform his exact address. He just asks the delivery man to leave the food downstairs, even if he goes downstairs to pick it up himself.
At the same time, Su Xingyuan's mobile phone was set to reject all unknown calls.
If his classmates knew about this, it would probably add strong evidence to the "first of the ten difficult problems in Class 1 - contacting Su Xingyuan during the holidays."
Su Xingyuan, who had used this method to block countless sales calls, fraud calls, and harassment calls, calmly estimated the time. When he felt it was about time, he took out his mobile phone and saw the message sent by the delivery man.
【Takeaway is placed downstairs】
【Attached photos】
Su Xingyuan took a glance, took the key, closed the door and went downstairs.
He didn't take the elevator, but walked down the stairs slowly.
Perhaps because he was in a good mood recently, Su Xingyuan found that his footsteps were always unintentionally very light, and he could hardly make any sound when he walked.
But this matter was beneficial to him and Su Xingyuan did not deliberately change it.
Therefore, when he arrived at the stairs, he did not alarm anyone, including the rider who was hiding behind the stairwell door, staring at the elevator with his back to him.
The rider also carried a small machete on his back.
Su Xingyuan was silent for a moment.
At this moment, he recalled a series of things including his profile picture on the food delivery platform, his gender setting, his recent life status, etc., and felt a little puzzled that he was suddenly chosen as a target.
Could it be that his cautious style made people think he was a girl living alone?
Su Xingyuan calmly went back upstairs and took out his cell phone to call the police.
Just as he was about to leave the corner of this floor, the rider looked up, and at that moment, through the reflection of the small glass window on the door, he and Su Xingyuan made a standard eye contact.
Su Xingyuan: “…”
Silence is the stairwell tonight.
The black-haired boy held up his phone as if nothing had happened and asked sincerely and cheerfully:
"Hello, are you here to kill someone too?"
Rider: “……???”
Su Xingyuan: “…”
The game was too long and I made some mistakes. Oops.
He calmly tried to make amends: "Actually, what I wanted to say was, 'Would you like to take a walk in the stairwell too?'"
The rider sneered: "You are walking in the stairwell--"
Before he could finish his words, he saw the black-haired boy disappear in two steps and quickly go upstairs.
Rider: “…”
With a gloomy look on his face, he drew his knife and chased after him.
