Standing at the rim of the bloodied deep crater, Chen Zuan could not place his feelings. Even though Lu Xiaoyu had displayed the explosive force of her Cla.s.s D Intermediate power system awakened power, and also her ultra-decisive and composed façade, it would be more apt to say its cold-bloodedness rather than composure.
To simply kill the person underground with a punch without knowing the ident.i.ty, what if the person is a comrade in the Heavenly Network? Won’t that be fratricide?
Chen Zuan felt that he should be fearful of Lu Xiaoyu, but he simply could not be scared of her. As much as she had just killed a person, she did not have a trace of any vibe which could justify his aversion for her. It was as if she was merely doing something she should.
“Xiao Yu… aren’t you scared of killing someone wrongly?” Chen Zuan asked curiously.
“Impossible,” Lu Xiaoyu answered with certainty. However, she did not elaborate why.
The fact that Lu Xiaoyu can sense souls was not a secret to Lu Shu, but to anyone else, it was something she would never say. She would always keep in mind Lu Shu’s words.
She was capable of catching the soul of the dead to cast into her own Celestial Map for remoulding, but this did not mean that she could only see the souls of the dead.
When the person was travelling past underground, Lu Xiaoyu quickly noticed the fluctuations of his soul. Moreover, his three immortal souls and seven mortal formswas incomplete, as if one of his formshad been sealed by an unusual force.
Lu Xiaoyu knew clearly that Lu Shu possessed the power to injure a person’s soul, because other than the fact that he could collect distress points and sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, there was not much which he hid from Lu Xiaoyu.
From the start, Lu Xiaoyu had already guessed that the battle which happened in front had to do with Lu Shu. Therefore, it seemed to Lu Xiaoyu that this person with his souls incomplete must be injured by Lu Shu.
Whoever Lu Shu wanted to kill would also be on Lu Xiaoyu’s kill list, hence she did not keep anything back in her attack, despite not knowing the opponent’s capabilities. To be honest, she did not expect to kill the person with just a punch…
“Big Kitty, dragged him out,” Lu Xiaoyu ordered Mountain Cat. The cat obediently went over to bite on the white man’s belt and dragged him out of the earth.
“A white man?” Chen Zuan’s brows furrowed. At least from the ethnicity of the victim, it seemed that Lu Xiaoyu did not make a wrong kill.
However, he, too, was perplexed. Where on earth did he sprout from? Did he break through from outside the remains? At that moment, Lu Xiaoyu gave him a tap, “Go, take a look at what else does he have.”
“Why me?” Chen Zuan asked, incredulous.
“Do you want to go?”
“I’ll go, I’ll go…”
Chen Zuan squatted down. The white expert was half-naked, and his bottom was also only covered with a camouflage pants for training. He reached into the man’s pockets but found nothing.
Then, fearless, he went on to feel the dead’s legs through the pants and realised there really was nothing on him. Chen Zuan was stunned for a moment, “There’s nothing on him.”
Lu Xiaoyu’s brows furrowed. Even if he did not bring much knick-knacks into the remains to fight, how could he possibly be so clean? She spun around and told Chen Zuan, “Wait a moment, let me think.”
And Chen Zuan saw that Lu Xiaoyu really closed her eyes, as if deep in thought…
Actually, Lu Xiaoyu possessed another capability after capturing a soul, just like when she discovered that the Cla.s.s D power system soul was hiding money: to search for memory fragments.
This capability was not truly complete. Then, Lu Xiaoyu could not find out where was the money hidden by the person. However, knowing a segment of memory was also very useful.
The last time, it took Lu Xiaoyu a whole day to remould the Cla.s.s D soul. This time, Lu Xiaoyu estimated that it would take a full one month to remould this one into a black soul. This was the difference between a Cla.s.s B master and a Cla.s.s D.
However, this did not hinder Lu Xiaoyu’s effort to obtain the man’s memory fragments. After a few minutes, Lu Xiaoyu opened her eyes once again. Chen Zuan asked curiously, “Is there any conclusion from your thinking?”
“No,” Lu Xiaoyu gave him a glance and shook her head. She then suddenly turned her head and asked, “Little fatty, you…”
“Don’t call me little fatty!” Chen Zuan exploded, “It’s really just that little baby fat on my face!”
“Oh, little fatty,” Lu Xiaoyu was unmoved. “Do you want to be rewarded for meritorious performance?”
Chen Zuan was stunned. What did she mean? His eyes went over to the dead body of the white man…
Before he could comprehend the matter, Lu Xiaoyu was already looking at him in the eyes, “This white man is yours now. He must be a foreign agent, right? You phone should still have power. Take a picture with him and send it up. As to how huge is the merit, it would be up to whether the Heavenly Network knows what’s his Cla.s.s. I feel that it would not be a low one.”
Chen Zuan was stunned by this sudden and unexpected stroke of good luck. Even a fool would know that this white man was a master. If he could kill him, how huge a merit would that be?
“Xiaoyu, you are absolutely adorable!” Chen Zuan gushed in exhilaration. “When you and Lu Shu comes to the capital, I will bring you two around to enjoy the best food, play the best games and stay in the best hotel. I shall settle everything, hahahahaha…”
Lu Xiaoyu looked at Chen Zuan, stonefaced. Her glare made Chen Zuan awkward, “What’s wrong?”
Xiaoyu only gave a dumb look, “Wrist.w.a.tch.”
Splat! Chen Zuan almost vomited blood. Previously, before they entered the remains, Chen Zuan had frequently showed off his watch to Lu Shu. However, he had no use for it in the remains and he thought it could be kept. Alas, Lu Xiaoyu had taken an interest in it.
The two of you are really siblings, even your characters are identical!
However, Chen Zuan was a little suspicious, “This military merit would definitely be worth more than eighty thousand dollars. Morever, selling this watch in a second-hand shop would probably get you a lower rate. Why don’t you let me give you an IOU?”
“Absolutely no credit granted, all debt to be settled on the spot. How would I know if you can keep your words after leaving the remains?”
Chen Zuan did not act unreasonably. Nimbly, he removed his watch and handed it to Lu Xiaoyu, “Still the same promise, come visit me if you go to the capital.”
Lu Xiaoyu ignored him. Whether to go to the capital was up to Lu Shu.
She wanted to wear the watch on her wrist immediately, but the strap was too long, so she wore it on her leg instead…
Having done that, Lu Xiaoyu went over alone to the white man’s body and pulled out the ring off his ring finger. Chen Zuan looked at her weirdly. You are as greedy as your brother…
Lu Xiaoyu placed the ring on her thumb and said with an air of nonchalance, “Okay, you can take a picture with him now. I suggest you capture the special traits of his death too, such as dilated pupils and the wounds on his body…”
Chen Zuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. This reminder…why does it sound like a salesman promoting a product?
If it was Lu Shu who did these things, he could still understand. To tell the truth, he had already thought that Lu Shu was a devil after receiving his information. After all, he was the low-ranking student who had made a huge counterattack in the Beimang remains.
However, only now did Chen Zuan realise that, if it was just talking about age and capabilities, Lu Xiaoyu was actually more of a devil than Lu Shu!
