The Death List Novel - Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Return To The City
The Little Light Man in the critical dimension slowly faded away, and a small oval teleportation portal appeared out of thin air on the rocky cliff of the scarlet Gobi Desert.

A dazzling light spot teleported out of the portal. Countless lines of Laws surrounded the light spot, forming a human shape in the void. In the blink of an eye, a black-haired, black-eyed youth appeared on the spot.

Qin Lun frowned from the surroundings. He was accustomed to the humid and refreshing plum rain climate in the Audi Mountains. The hot weather in the Red Gobi made him feel very uncomfortable.

His gaze was burning as he flipped through his palm, his face filled with admiration that could not be erased. Even though the constitution of the Laws Body was only an instant, a clear consciousness could still observe the entire process. This was the second time he had witnessed the formation of his body, apart from the day he had just entered the shattered starry sky.

Qin Lun put down his palm and looked around. As he had expected, there was no second creature on the cliff. The shattered starry sky was different from the other worlds. The native creatures here knew of the existence of the apostles and would not deliberately avoid other creatures when the apostles returned.

At the Evelyn Polarlys Academy, the elves who taught the preparatory apostles reminded them time and time again. If he wasn’t willing to entrust his life to someone else, he would have to find a safe and remote place to teleport through space and time when he entered the alien realm.

Qin Lun took two steps forward and bent down to take out a small backpack from a crack in the rock. These were some of his personal belongings, so he could only hide them here because he was unable to bring them into the alien world.

Opening his backpack, Qin Lun took out an hourglass the size of a thumb. Basically, every preparatory apostle had one. It was the basic benefit given to the preparatory apostles by Moonlight Forest, the Fairy City.

Every turn of the hourglass represents two hours, and there are some nicks on the bottom. Under the action of the internal mechanism, a small notch would be jumped every day, which could record the time period from minute to month more accurately. However, he had to adjust the scratch every month, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to activate it again.

In fact, the elves’ hourglasses were also famous in other intelligent races’ floating cities. Although many high-tech cities have invented clocks, light speed timers, and even elemental decay timers, these hourglasses still have an irreplaceable role to play.

Due to the large variety and size of the floating continent, the high-tech timers of other races were limited. Technologically advanced timers are useful in one continent, but not necessarily in other continents. On the contrary, this kind of hourglass belonging to the Elves was very accurate, small, and convenient to carry on any continent.

The hourglass showed that he had only been away from the shattered starry sky for about an hour, which was in line with the common sense taught by the academy. After putting the hourglass back into his backpack, Qin Lun took out a telescope and looked at the cliff where the motorcycle was stored.

“Eh?” Looking at the scene in the telescope, Qin Lun was slightly surprised.

The four-wheeled black motorcycle was parked unharmed under the shadow of the cliff, but there were actually four human-shaped creatures wearing hoods and cloaks hiding behind the rocks, faintly surrounding the motorcycle’s location.

The sharp knives and magic bullet guns in their hands were obviously planning to give Qin Lun a special “surprise”.

Qin Lun put down his binoculars, rubbed his chin, and fell into deep thought. Since these people were ambushing him around the motorcycle, they must have known that he was an apostle. This was strange. He had only left the shattered starry sky for about an hour …

Native creatures passing by? Or was there another reason? No matter what, Qin Lun didn’t intend to show himself. Although he had undergone an upgrade, the increase in strength shouldn’t have any earth-shattering effects. Moreover, this kind of strength that had not yet been trained and verified could not be turned into combat strength for the time being. It was not worth risking one’s life for a motorcycle.

Qin Lun pulled open the parcel and picked out a button-shaped item from it. This was the Soul Stand Tool that the Forest of Moonlight had given to the preparatory apostles. Not only could it be used to communicate with native creatures, but it also contained a tracking device that, once activated, Moonlight Forest’s patrol would come out to search for the apostles.

The Moonlight Forest Elves did not conceal the existence of the tracker from the apostles. The tracker was not meant to control the apostles, but to help the apostles returning from another world.

Not all apostles were able to complete alien missions successfully. Many apostles were likely to fail missions and suffer serious injuries. There were no broken crystals to repair the Laws of the Body, nor could they return to the Forest of Moonlight on their own. At this time, the tracker would be able to summon patrol guards from the floating city and rescue them back to the city.

Qin Lun pressed the start button on the button, then continued to pick up the telescope to monitor the four hooded bandits. It was only half an hour’s drive from the Moonlight Forest, and the elven patrol would soon find it.

Half an hour later, Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. He turned to look at the left side of the cliff and saw a dust dragon rising from the distance, accompanied by a muffled rumble.

The sound of horse hooves … Moonlight Forest’s patrol had arrived! The corner of Qin Lun’s mouth curled into a smile. He turned around and continued to observe the four people.

The four hooded bandits ambushed around the motorcycle also heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar and immediately jumped up like rabbits. They circled around the back of the cliff, pushed out two motorcycles, jumped on the car and left the spot.

It was actually just a scavenger passing by, not the premeditation of the other apostles! The expression on Qin Lun’s face was a little strange. He had encountered such a small probability event on his first mission to another world. What kind of dog shit luck was this …

“Sorry to trouble you!” Qin Lun climbed down the cliff and walked towards the elven guards with a smile.

“Are you alright?” The leader of the elven guards was a female elf with short hair.

The female elf was tall and slender, with black hair and blue pupils. Her skin was a healthy wheat color. The small butterfly hairpin clipped her bangs to the corners of her forehead, making her look energetic. A pair of large blue eyes curiously sized up the young man in front of them.

“You seem to have just returned from another world. Did you summon us because of those scavengers?” A middle-aged elf beside the female elf looked at the few black dots in the distance with a trace of vigilance.

“Mm, thank you. Can I come back to the city with you?” Qin Lun nodded politely.

“I’m Aska, the captain of the third patrol. She’s my deputy, Adrienne Moria.” The middle-aged elf took off his helmet, bent over the unicorn and asked in a friendly tone, “How do I address you, respected apostle?”

“Please call me Qin Lun!” Qin Lun picked up the small package and started the motorcycle.

…

“You are Qin Lun!” On the way back, Edeline approached Qin Lun and asked curiously.

“Mm, are you a member of the Moria family?” Qin Lun smiled and asked, “Malfoy Moria is your brother?”

“No, he’s my father!” Edeline frowned and said discontentedly, “My father is still so optimistic about you. There are only four scavengers. Don’t you dare to fight them?”

Father? Qin Lun shook his head with a bitter smile. The elves were truly blessed. The handsome silver-haired elf looked no different from a young man in his twenties. He actually had such a valiant daughter.

“Before the apostles grew up, they were just ordinary people. I’m not stronger than you!” Qin Lun did not mind Edeline’s contempt. “Is Malfoy in the Forest of the Moonlight?”

“No, Father has just teleported to another elven city through the starry sky gate!” A trace of worry appeared on Edeline’s face. “When all the apostles who went out this time come back, the moonlight forest will also leave the scarlet Gobi immediately.”

There were other apostles who went out on missions … Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled and asked, “Are my companions back from the Otherworlds now?”

“I haven’t seen the other three, but judging from the time, it’s about time!” Edeline said absent-mindedly.

Qin Lun nodded silently. Judging from Edeline’s words, the elves should be in trouble and shrinking their forces. However, he didn’t care about the elves’ troubles. The Moonlight Forest was gone, so he could at most change to a floating city as his habitat.

The Killer Demon was concerned about the other three apostles who had been on missions in another world for about the same amount of time as him. There were more than a hundred apostles in the Moonlight Forest. Apart from a small number of official apostles, most of them were preparatory apostles.

It wasn’t that it was impossible for someone to perform an alien mission with him at the same time. Rather, the probability was very small. After all, the time it took to complete an alien mission was only equivalent to an hour in the Broken Star Sky.

In this way, it was very likely that the information Edeline had accidentally revealed was that the other murderers were on a mission to another realm. After all, they had entered the Shattered Star Sky at the same time as Qin Lun. It was just in time.

“Haha, the shorter the time between missions, the greater the potential of the apostles!” A strange light flashed in Qin Lun’s eyes as he lowered his head and muttered to himself, “Interesting. I just don’t know which of the five people is behind!”

“What?” Edeline asked curiously.

“Nothing!” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and revealed a charming smile.

He had a premonition that the three people besides him should also come from the five great murderers. (Disciple Hansen, Shepherd Hill, Clown Grant, Fireworks Rand, Decomposer Joey)

Half an hour later, they saw the enormous moonlight forest. Qin Lun handed the motorcycle over to the Fairy Guards. The moonlight forest did not allow the motorcycle to pass through, so it could only be stored in the Fairy Clan.

Returning to the wooden building in Moonlight Town, Qin Lun discovered that Little Brother Brindisi was not in his room, so he went upstairs and immersed his consciousness in the list of the dead.

As the fragmented starry sky opened up more and more contents, the preliminary modified death list gradually became somewhat out of date. He needed to look at more information and combine it with this information to continue to reform the death list.
