The Death List Novel - Chapter 298

Chapter 298 Adopted
The small villa in front of him gave Qin Lun an extremely ominous feeling. This feeling was not illusory, but something he had experienced.

Even though he was several hundred meters away from the building, he held his breath and felt as if the building was toppling over like Mount Tai. Qin Lun felt as if he was in a suffocating deep sea. His entire body was covered in icy cold seawater, and the darkness seemed to be filled with malicious gazes.

Qin Lun hesitated for a rare moment, not knowing whether he should continue forward or wait on the spot.

“Should I do it?” Joey’s consciousness came to his mind. He could tell that Joey was starting to get excited, obviously stimulated by the building in front of him.

“No!” Qin Lun firmly refused Joey’s help. Although most of the purpose of choosing to enter the Hunter world was to increase Joey’s combat strength, being scared out of his wits by a dead object was too damaging to his self-esteem.

After rejecting Joey, Qin Lun took out a spherical object from his storage space. This was an “eyeball”, and the pupils in the middle of it had a black and red ring shape, as if it was a small target.

Gannett’s left eye (mysterious item)

Quality: Bright Gold

Material: Unresolvable organism

Weight: 12g

Perception: 5 points; Spirit: 3 points

Item Laws: Target, Radiation

Target: The device is capable of emitting an ultrasonic-like shock wave that, when obstructed, receives the reflected wave in the target’s pupils and forms a specific image in the mind.

Radiation: This equipment enhances some of the apostle’s perceptual pupil-like skills. While weakening perceptual density, increasing perceptual distance; Conversely, it would shorten the perceptual distance and increase the perceptual density.

Equipment Description: The shock wave penetration is very high, with excellent clairvoyance. The duration of the skill is limited by the mana stored in the equipment and can be used repeatedly through energy storage. The equipment was a mysterious item that could detect images. Limited by the Laws, there were only two skill Laws that had been developed.

Equipment Requirement: Only Apostles with 30 Perception Points or more can use Target Skills. Only Apostles with Perception Eye Skills can use Radiation Skills.

Gannettes’ left eye was the image detection equipment that Qin Lun had purchased. Although it was only the lowest quality dark gold, it still cost him more than a hundred thousand broken crystals.

This thing was simple and practical, consuming very little mana. Even when the apostles were resting, they would automatically fire shockwaves outwards. This was the best way to guard against night attacks, making up for the weakest link between the Heavenly Spirit Eye and the passive detection halo.

Its penetrating characteristics made it even able to observe some stealth enemies with stealth abilities higher than the detection halo, so it could be said to be of great value. Originally, more than a hundred thousand broken crystals could not buy this equipment, but this item had a big drawback.

Because the shockwaves emitted by this thing were sound waves, once activated, the apostle’s sensory system would be greatly disturbed, causing people to hallucinate in front of them and feel irritated.

Thus, although it could be used all day long, few apostles would wear it to torture themselves, usually only for reconnaissance purposes. The apostles who had originally owned this equipment were unable to endure this flaw, so they placed it in a half-plane shop to sell after obtaining another image equipment of a slightly inferior quality.

However, for Qin Lun, there was a temporary solution. He had always endured the torment of mental illusions and had a strong resistance to such disturbances. He could even use hypnosis to block out some of his physical senses.

Of course, even so, Qin Lun wouldn’t wear this thing 24 hours a day. He just used it depending on the situation. After all, he had other detection methods, so he didn’t have to torture himself all the time.

Qin Lun pressed Gannett’s left eye on his own, and it immediately turned into a liquid, slowly merging into his left eye.

This piece of equipment could only be fused with the left eye. After using this item, the pupil skill of the left eye would be blocked, and one could only rely on the right eye to use the Eye of the Clock. However, the Eye of the Clock was a perceptual pupil skill, so it didn’t affect the sense of distance in the vision.

Wearing Gannett’s left eye, a small black and red target appeared in Qin Lun’s left pupils. Combined with the pure white color of his eyes, it was as if it had turned into a deep vortex. A silver clock dial appeared in his right eye, and three hands were slowly beating on it.

A completely different pair of eyes coupled with the gentle smile on Qin Lun’s lips caused the youth’s originally ordinary face to reveal an extreme demonic aura.

Using Gannett’s radiation skill, Kieran successfully tripled the perceptual range of the Eye of the Clock. However, his perceptual strength was also greatly reduced. Even so, the 150-meter-long perceptual line still touched the perimeter of the small western-style building.

Qin Lun’s eyes widened when he saw the “things” that surrounded the small western building. Even his heart beat faster, and he felt an incomparable novelty.

“What is this? A ghost mist, or a ghost?”

In the surroundings of the small western building, some black smoke that seemed to have intelligence was violently churning, almost enveloping the entire building. Through the contact of the perceptual line, Qin Lun felt even more suffocating and malicious. It was as if a ghost was exhaling at him face to face.

Because Gannett’s left eye was not affected by the light, Kieran saw a wooden signboard in front of the small building in the darkness. The sign indicated that the selection of mercenaries had begun. As long as the person who came could enter the small western building with the identification badge, he would become a mercenary of the gang after passing the selection.

After seeing this sign, Qin Lun untied his last bit of doubt about the Guidance Mission.

[Walking Out of Meteor Street] had a Guiding Mission difficulty of Second Lieutenant. In other words, it meant that he would encounter a challenge from a Second Grade High-level Apostle. However, the reward for the mission was very few. There were only a few thousand broken crystals, and the difficulty was not proportional to the reward.

However, now that he saw this villa, he understood. This villa was obviously not something an ordinary person could enter. There was no problem with the difficulty of the mission being at the second lieutenant level. However, this kind of test was not life-threatening. It was entirely based on the apostles’ original strength, so the benefits would naturally not be too great.

“It shouldn’t be a spiritual body, but rather an aura!” Qin Lun rubbed his nose helplessly. Although he was only a few hundred meters away from the villa, the information he got from his perception allowed him to understand that he could never walk through this path.

The Broken Universe would not give the apostles an incomplete guidance mission. Qin Lun had already realized that this test was not for him, but for Joey.

Thinking of this, Qin Lun’s pupils gradually faded away, replaced by a thick layer of blood.

Joey walked slowly from the hillside to the villa. A strong aura of tyranny permeated his body. When the “Decomposer” approached the villa within a hundred meters, he finally came into contact with the churning black smoke.

Strangely, this aura, which made Qin Lun feel extremely ominous, seemed to encounter a natural enemy after touching Joey’s tyrannical aura. It melted like snow, hurriedly clearing a path to the villa for the murderers.

Joey suddenly felt a sense of hunger and thirst in his heart, and he looked thoughtfully at the black smoke around him.

“Hehe!” The murderer blinked his eyes and licked his lips with a bloodthirsty tip of his tongue. Then, he tapped his feet and sprinted in a zigzag fashion in front of the villa, intentionally barging into the area with the densest black smoke.

Following Joey’s movements, the black smoke enveloping the villa thinned at a visible speed. At this moment, something even more shocking happened. The originally undetectable tyrannical aura on Joey’s body slowly appeared, transforming into a faint red smoke aura that no one could see.

“Apostle 70053, you have already come into contact with the spiritual power of this world. The slaughter aura of the Heart of Slaughter is beginning to transform into a spiritual power aura field. The transformation process is not complete yet. The apostle needs to further study the spiritual power laws of this world to form his own complete spiritual power system.”

“Reading ability?” Joey’s eyes lit up and he stopped.

“Hmph, you’ve passed. Come in quickly. Don’t ruin other people’s tests!” An angry voice came from the villa. It was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with Joey destroying the spiritual energy field around him.

At the same time, the originally tightly closed doors of the villa also opened at the right time, and the lights in the room illuminated the entrance.

Joey shrugged and walked towards the villa. As soon as he entered the door of the villa, he felt his entire body lighten. There was no spiritual energy field surrounding the villa.

The blood in the murderer’s eyes quickly faded away, and Qin Lun’s consciousness regained control of his body. It wasn’t that Joey wasn’t interested in what was going on, but the transformation of the slaughter aura’s Laws had consumed him a lot of energy. It was no less than a fierce battle, and he had no choice but to rest.

As two separate personalities, Qin Lun could not feel Joey’s mental fatigue. However, he was instantly shocked to see that the energy of his Laws Body had almost been completely drained, and even his HP had dropped by a portion.

“Sir, please show me your identification.” In the hall on the first floor of the villa, a blonde beauty dressed as a maid was standing. At this moment, she was extending a tray to Qin Lun. After Qin Lun put the badge into the tray, the handsome maid turned around and led him to the living room on the second floor.

At this moment, there were already three people sitting on the sofa in the living room. One of them was a one-eyed man with a centipede-like scar on his left eye. A petite, expressionless, indifferent girl; There was also a middle-aged man with white beards and a wrinkled face.

When the three of them saw Qin Lun enter, their eyes flashed with a hint of fluctuation. Obviously, they had used some sort of method to “see” Joey’s performance outside the villa.
