The Death List Novel - Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Roads
[Apostle 70053, you have killed an unranked Samsara. The current death hunt is one. The reward will be given when you return to the Shattered Star Sky.]

[Reminder: Apostle 70053, according to the hunting terms of the apostle contract, the shattered starry sky will cover up the fluctuations in the Laws of death of the reincarnation until the end of the scheduled stay. If there are soul bound items in the spoils of war, please refrain from using them temporarily to avoid unnecessary dangers.]

A small, blood-red Magic Cube floated above Matthew’s corpse. The red stripes on the small Magic Cube emitted strange colors.

“This Magic Cube will be used as a reward for saving you. Do you have any objections?” Qin Lun reached for the Magic Cube and asked with a smile.

Junzi nodded in silence, a trace of confusion appearing on her cold and beautiful face. She didn’t care about Matthew’s Bloody Magic Cube at all. The deaths of her two companions made her heart empty. The Japanese girl only felt that all her efforts were in vain in the end. Now, she was the only one left, just like when she first entered space, she was at a loss.

Qin Lun looked at the ashen expression on the girl’s face and smiled faintly. He stood up and was about to leave.

He had never thought of killing Junko Yoshida. One was that Junko didn’t have much interest in him. Even Matthew, who had obtained the Illusory Demon bloodline, had yet to advance to the next level, so how much profit could he gain from killing Pure Child? Another point was that he was unwilling to commit such a disrespectful slaughter.

“Wait!” Suddenly, Junzi’s call came from behind him, his voice trembling slightly. “Can’t even loyalty be exchanged for companions?”

Qin Lun turned around and was surprised to find two strands of sparkling tears hanging on the girl’s cold and gorgeous face.

“It’s very difficult for me to survive until now … I finally found a team … Why, why do they still want me? I don’t want to fight for anything anymore …” Junko’s iceberg-like face was full of tears and snot, and he sat on the ground crying like a child.

Looking at the crying girl, Qin Lun’s eyes were slightly absent-minded. The darkest corner of his heart moved slightly, and the smile on his face slowly subsided.

“Loyalty can of course exchange for companions, but you’ve found the wrong loyal partner!” Qin Lun squatted in front of Junko and wiped away the tears on the girl’s face with his fingers. “Did you see what Pan Hu did for Lou Ying? They are the companions formed from life and death adventures. They both have each other’s loyalty …”

“Are you saying that I should follow Matthew’s example and join a team like the Windfiend Group?” Junko sobbed and asked softly.

“No, a team like the Wind Demon Group has been stable for a long time. New members may have to go through a series of tests before they can be accepted.” Qin Lun shook his head indifferently. “Matthew is right. He has the ability to survive these tests. Until you and Joel accumulate a certain amount of strength, they probably won’t be able to meet the criteria for joining a large team!”

“Then what should I do?” The girl’s eyes widened as she looked at Qin Lun expectantly.

Qin Lun hesitated for a moment, his eyes sparkling. He was reluctant to help others make decisions, but the crying girl reminded him of the little boy he used to be.

He finally sighed and whispered, “You can choose your companions from the rookies. Those rookies who are firm in their convictions and also have loyalty, get their loyalty first, and then you decide whether or not to pay your loyalty!”

“Isn’t that like Matthew, the liar?” Junzi muttered to himself absentmindedly.

“There’s nothing wrong with Matthew’s survival law. It’s just that he used your loyalty instead of his own. He chose to sacrifice his companions in exchange for strength!” A smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face. “And you can choose to help those rookies with loyalty and faith in exchange for reliable companions at the cost of slowing down their strength growth!”

As Qin Lun whispered, Junko’s eyes slowly lit up and glowed with dazzling light. After a long while, the girl wiped her face, regained her iceberg beauty’s cold and beautiful expression, and stood up again.

“Thank you!” Junko bowed respectfully to Qin Lun.

“You’re welcome!” Qin Lun’s eyes flickered with a strange light, filled with both regret and anticipation.

The path he had pointed out to Junko was not easy to follow. It was most likely that he had fulfilled someone else’s wish, but had sacrificed himself! If possible, he really wanted to stay in the DF space as a reincarnator and see how far this girl could go.

“Qin Lun, can I follow you in this world?” Junko blushed and said embarrassedly.

“If you want to follow me, then follow me!” Qin Lun smiled indifferently.

“Then what are we going to do now?” Junko asked curiously. After removing the Heart Demon, the young girl’s mood was much better.

“Now that the Illusory Demon Boss of the Divine Sea Palace is dead, the veteran experts of the two camps probably won’t pay attention to this place anymore. It’s very likely that they will rush to other Illusory Demon bases.” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he said slowly.

“Our strength is too weak. To be able to reach this level, it is all thanks to the Illusory Demon Wind Record. For us, staying at the Underwater Shrine to clean up the scattered Illusory Demons is the best choice. There is no competition, and we can also accumulate more prestige in the camp.”

“En!” Junko nodded and did not raise any other objections.

In fact, she did not know that Qin Lun’s main goal was not the reputation of the faction, but the other spatial and temporal nodes in the labyrinth. Originally, if Qin Lun was alone, he had already planned to return to space. Now, with Junko’s help, he could gather a few more spacetime cores.

Qin Lun had just taken two steps towards the exit passageway when his heart suddenly stirred. He looked back at Matthew’s corpse and lowered his head to ponder. Although Matthew had obtained the Illusory Demon bloodline, because he was a Samsara’s Law Body, he did not turn into a pile of ashes like a real Illusory Demon.

“What’s the matter?” Junko stopped in surprise.

“I want to do an experiment!” Qin Lun smiled and summoned the Black Bear BEN. He gave a command, “Eat him!”

“Vomit!” Looking at the black bear that was covered in pus and emanating a thick stench of corpses, devouring Matthew’s corpse in large mouthfuls, Junzi couldn’t help but vomit disgustedly, “We are the bodies of Laws. You … even if you eat Matthew, you won’t be able to obtain the Illusory Demon bloodline from this summoned creature, right?”

‘”Haha, actually I’m just guessing that after the Samsara dies, my body will lose its nomological properties. If that’s the case, my summoner might be able to absorb some of Matthew’s Illusory Demon Genes.” Qin Lun closed his eyes and carefully experienced the changes in Black Bear BEN’s body.

Qin Lun did not tell the whole truth. How could a bloodline item be so precious if it could be obtained by summoning a creature to eat?

However, Black Bear BEN had absorbed an incomplete gene potion in the labyrinth room, which was the same type as the gene potion that Matthew had obtained. After devouring Matthew’s corpse, even if the black bear could not complete the bloodline conversion, it should be able to delay the collapse and deterioration of its body.

Junko stopped talking and walked away, not wanting to hear the black bear chomping on the corpse.

Qin Lun’s guess was correct. After devouring most of Matthew’s corpses, the situation of Black Bear BEN had indeed changed. The summoned body slowed down the rate of deterioration, but it still looked dispirited.

Qin Lun waved his hand and put the black bear back into the summoning space. He breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had returned, he had more confidence in extracting complete bloodline items from the black bear’s body.

Another good news was that he had used less energy to maintain the bear’s life, so he didn’t have to worry about the 36-hour limit, which was equivalent to saving the self-healing crystal.

“Did you get anything from that damaged warship?” After meeting up with Junko, the two of them walked towards the exit.

“Nothing. I just found something strange” Junzi tilted his head and thought for a moment before taking out a small puppet from his embrace and handing it to Qin Lun.

The puppet seemed to have not yet been completed, and there was only a rough outline of its face. It was dressed in casual clothes, with one hand supporting its chin with its elbow, and it was dressed like a modern person.

‘”This puppet is not a storyline item. It’s just that it’s so strange. Logically speaking, the invasion of Paris brought the Illusory Demon World into contact with the modern world, and that warship has been abandoned for a long time. In the Warring States Period of Japan, there shouldn’t be such a puppet … Eh, what’s wrong with you?”

Junzi muttered a few words. He turned around and saw Qin Lun’s face pale and cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He pressed down on his chest like an asthma attack, panting heavily.

“I… I’m fine!” Qin Lun endured the pain in his heart and stared blankly at the little puppet in Junko’s hand.

He was sure that this was the first time he had seen the puppet, but for some reason, the moment he saw the little puppet, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if he had lost something extremely precious.

The little puppet’s one-handed elbow propping up his chin gave him a very strange feeling, as if he had seen him!

“Put it away, let’s get out of here!” Qin Lun forced himself to look away from the puppet and waited for his breathing to stabilize before beckoning Junko to leave the shipbuilding room.

An hour later, the two of them appeared in a stone room. This was a small storage room found through the Illusory Demon Wind Record. Its location was remote and there were no Illusory Demon guards.

Their stamina was almost at its limit, especially Junko. Not only did he lose a lot of blood, he also experienced a great battle. After discussion, the two of them decided to stop searching today and rest for a while before searching the Underwater Divine Palace and the outer maze tomorrow.

“You should rest first!” Qin Lun gracefully smiled.

“Alright, call me later!” The girl did not refuse, curled up in the corner of the stone room like a kitten, and soon fell asleep.

Qin Lun sat cross-legged in another corner of the room and took out Matthew’s bloody Magic Cube from his bosom. He slowly stroked the blood-colored stripes on the Magic Cube with his fingers …
