The Death List Novel - Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Changes In BEN
“Big brother” A small blood hand suddenly stretched out from the void.

“Hiss!” In a dark, bloody pit, a poisonous snake could be heard spitting out messages. In the middle of the layers of bones at the bottom of the pit, two blood-red “luminous pearls” suddenly lit up.

However, the color of blood on the Night Pearl slowly faded away. Looking carefully, it was actually two eyes as bright as stars.

“Huala!” He raised his arms from beneath the skeletons, and a sinister and terrifying figure slowly sat up in the dim pit.

“I seem to have lost myself again … Where am I? Let me think about it!” Qin Lun stabbed his palm into the bangs on his forehead, and a cold gaze appeared between his fingers. “I remember! I’m in the Illusory Demon World … Bone Labyrinth! Is today … the next day?”

Qin Lun leaned against the wall of the bloody pit and slowed down for a while. When his mind became clearer, he opened his eyes again.

“My spirit has recovered!” Qin Lun ignored the smell of blood in the pit and took a deep breath. To him, the rotten corpse half-buried in front of him seemed to have an incomparably fragrant fragrance.

‘”Eh, this head is” Qin Lun turned around and quickly frowned. He took two steps amidst the corpses and reached out to pick up a petite head.

Last night, when he climbed down the bloody pit, he was too tired to pay much attention to his surroundings. He just buried himself in the pile of bones and left his breathing duct, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

The heavy makeup on her petite head made Qin Lun feel very familiar. She was the seductive girl amongst the rookies. She didn’t expect that she would betray a companion and still be unable to escape the pursuit of the Illusory Demon in the end. Qin Lun estimated that she had been killed by the Octopus Illusory Demon and thrown into this bloody skeletal pit.

Qin Lun looked at the deathly gray eyes on the girl’s face. He curled his lips, threw away his head, pulled his legs out of the pile of bones, and carefully helped the metal ladder out of the hole.

As he approached the fork in the corridor, the black bear’s corpse was still stuck in the middle of the doorstep. However, after a day and night, it had already stinked. Qin Lun grinned. He deliberately left the black bear’s corpse on the spot just to see if the owner of the room had returned.

Now, it seemed that the reincarnations that had intruded into the Bone Labyrinth had already caused great damage to the labyrinth, or perhaps the Illusory Demon’s sworn enemy, the Ghost Warrior, had also entered the labyrinth. Perhaps the Illusory Demons in the labyrinth would no longer be able to control all of the areas, and even the Illusory Demon Base under the protection of the labyrinth would have fallen into chaos.

Qin Lun did not enter the room immediately, but still cautiously summoned Black Bear BEN. After falling asleep yesterday, he almost resold most of his recovery items before gathering the virtual currency to quickly resurrect the black bear. He had even sold a box of Moonlight Intermittent Ointment, and it could be said that his heart ached to the extreme.

The big stupid bear looked at the corpse near the threshold and was somewhat confused. After the summoned object died, its memory would also be lost. This is a selective amnesia of biological instincts, avoiding the fear of death for the soul.

Under Qin Lun’s control, the black bear pushed away the corpse he left behind yesterday, avoided the sharp axe above his head, and took the lead in entering the room.

After entering the room, Qin Lun asked Black Bear to drag the two corpses away and close the bronze door again. Everything in the room was the same as when he left yesterday. It seemed that no one else had entered.

Qin Lun once again focused his attention on the teleportation staircase, his gaze flickering slightly.

“Stand up!” Qin Lun gave the black bear an order in his mind.

The big black bear clumsily climbed up the stairs. BEN’s body, which was close to three meters long, was too large for a single person to ride on. Under Qin Lun’s strong request, Big Stupid Bear could only turn around in grievance and squeeze his butt in bit by bit, almost forcefully stuffing it into the teleportation ladder.

There were many buttons on the control panel on the left side of the teleportation ladder. Qin Lun could not understand the symbols on them, so he could only casually click on one. Looking at the docile summoning object in front of him, he pondered for a moment before taking out the incomplete Illusory Demon Genetic Medicine from his bosom.

“Drink!” Black Bear BEN obediently opened his mouth and drank the potion his master had prepared for him. After drinking it, the black bear sneezed twice and shook its head. Obviously, it did not like the odd smell of the medicine.

Qin Lun laughed and pulled down the small lever of the ladder. After doing all of this, he hurriedly walked down the stairs and stared fixedly at the teleportation stairs.

After he descended, the teleportation ladder that looked like a demon’s head began to tremble slightly, emitting a strange rumbling sound, and the two large crystals that resembled the demon’s eyeballs at the top also began to light up.

Finally, after a fierce flash of light, the rumbling sound of the teleportation ladder weakened. Qin Lun put down his hand that was blocking his eyes. When his eyes recovered from the stimulation of the strong light, he discovered that Black Bear BEN had disappeared from the teleportation staircase. There was nothing left in the teleportation staircase again.

“The soul connection is still there … Looks like this is indeed a teleportation device!” A smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face. Every time he verified his deductions, he felt a sense of satisfaction and excitement as he reached the climax.

“Next, let BEN scout the situation on the other end of the teleportation ladder for me!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he moved a few wooden boxes from the side of the wall to block the teleportation ladder. He held onto the FN-500 tightly and stared vigilantly at the teleportation ladder.

This was the plan Qin Lun came up with yesterday. He was different from the three veterans of Matthew. He had a summoning object that could replace him to teleport first and test the situation on the other end of the stairs.

Although Qin Lun and Black Bear BEN couldn’t share their vision, the soul connection between a human and a bear could ignore space. As long as the distance wasn’t too far, Qin Lun could feel whether the black bear was alive or dead.

“It’s already been a minute. BEN hasn’t died immediately … Even if there are enemies on the other side, they shouldn’t be too strong.” Qin Lun closed his eyes and slowly sensed the black bear’s soul. However, he quickly opened his eyes wide in surprise. “Eh, BEN’s soul seems to be strengthening, but how could it be filled with such a tyrannical aura …”

Could it be the effect of that gene potion? But shouldn’t the gene potion be aimed at the body? Why did even the soul aura change? Could it be that Illusory Demons are not simple mutated creatures, but from the perspective of the soul …

Qin Lun frowned and pinched his chin into deep thought.

“Eh? The enhancement of BEN’s soul is actually going to break through the control of the summoning contract!” Qin Lun only thought for a few minutes before his expression changed again. “I have to take it back. Not good, it’s actually resisting the soul contract …”

Qin Lun snorted and covered his face with his hand. Two blood snakes hung from his nose. This was the backlash from the summoning contract.

“Doesn’t stealing chickens erode rice?” Qin Lun’s eyes flashed with a trace of gloom. “If we get closer, it will help to strengthen our control. BEN’s life force hasn’t weakened. There shouldn’t be any enemies on the other side!”

After making up his mind, Qin Lun did not hesitate any longer. He took three steps and grabbed onto the teleportation ladder. He pressed the button that BEN had used to teleport and quickly pulled down the small lever.

After waiting anxiously for more than ten seconds, Qin Lun’s eyes lit up again. However, he was already prepared this time. He closed his eyes tightly and didn’t let the strong light shake his eyes again.

When Qin Lun opened his eyes again, an ancient stone passageway appeared in front of him. Almost all of the corridors were built from boulders. These boulders were gray-white, and they were engraved with ancient patterns, much like pictographic symbols. It resembled both an ancient writing system and a spell pattern.

As soon as the stone passageway caught Qin Lun’s eye, a very strange feeling surged in his heart.

According to Lyu Kuang, the Illusory Demon was an ancient Japanese Oda Nobunaga who sold his soul to the Illusory Demon Race and sacrificed humans as sacrifices to the Illusory Demon Race in exchange for the Illusory Demon Race’s technology and assistance, thereby realizing his ambition to conquer Japan and even the mortal world.

The Illusory Demons that had appeared were all transformed from the armies of Nobunaga Oda’s subordinates. Neither the Illusory Demons nor the Ghosts had their true bodies appeared in the Mortal World.

However, the stone corridor that he saw now was not a Japanese architectural style. It was even different from any human architecture that Qin Lun knew of. It was very likely that it was an important base to imitate the Illusory Demon Style.

“Ao!” A painful roar came from not far in front of Qin Lun, interrupting his thoughts.

“BEN!” Qin Lun looked at the colossus in front of him and was slightly surprised.

The Big Black Bear’s eyes had already turned blood red. It gritted its teeth ferociously, and a thick saliva dripped down from between its teeth. It stood up and pressed its body against the wall, its bear paws deeply sunk into the boulder, turning a deaf ear to Qin Lun’s summons. It was clear that it had fallen into an unconscious state.

However, what surprised Qin Lun was not the brutality displayed by the black bear, but the changes in its body. BEN stood upright, originally close to three meters, but now his body was even bigger, and his muscles almost burst out of his body. Its black fur was covered in wounds, revealing bright red muscle fibers.

Qin Lun looked at his summoned creature with a serious expression and did not try to take it back into the summoning space. He had already observed the teleportation ladder and discovered a fact that made him laugh and cry. He did not know which button could send him back to his original room.

“What a mistake!” Qin Lun shook his head with a bitter smile. This was another inexperienced mistake. Fortunately, the black bear had fallen into a frenzy and hadn’t noticed his existence. If the recall failed, he would have to fight against his summoned creature.

Qin Lun quietly stayed in the teleportation staircase, his gaze fixated on the changes in the black bear.

“Eh!” As time passed, Kieran suddenly felt that BEN had changed again. The black bear’s physical condition seemed to be deteriorating. The originally dark fur slowly turned gray, and the muscular tissue that was expanding rapidly was shrinking. The small wounds around them slowly seeped out a fishy pus.

“Ao!” The black bear finally turned around and seemed to feel its master’s presence. The blood in its eyes slowly faded and it staggered towards Qin Lun.

“If we don’t recall it, I’m afraid it will die!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he retracted BEN back into his summoning space.

However, as soon as the black bear returned to the summoning space, Qin Lun’s expression immediately turned ugly.

“So … even I have to pay the price …”
