Chapter 42: The Newly Rising Dark Force
"Haah, haah, haah..."
Li Murui collapsed onto the barstool, gasping for breath. She wasn't dead, but she was scared half to death.
"So, you're saying you know the distribution of all contractors in this city?"
Su Xiao was disassembling the firearm in his hands. He was about to advance to the Fifth Rank, so he didn't care at all about exposing his location or identity in the Real World. Once you surpassed the Fourth Rank, there was no need to be sneaky anymore.
Or rather, by the Fourth Rank, it was best to settle grudges within derivative worlds. If you sought revenge in the Real World, the avenger might end up killed by the "Black Emperor" of that territory before the enemy even died.
"Yeah, that's right. I know all of it."
"So, what does that mean to me?"
"Uh~"
Li Murui was momentarily speechless.
"I'm not killing you this time only because of your grandfather. I have some history with that old man, but that's all."
Su Xiao's forehead throbbed faintly. For Li Murui, this utterly shameless chuunibyou girl, killing her would offend the military, and it wasn't worth it.
"I can pay to learn combat techniques."
"Not interested. Amu, see the guest out."
"Wait! Let me go! I won't take the medicine, I'm not crazy, I don't want it, waaah~ Don't squeeze my head, I was wrong, it hurts~"
After a moment, the accessory shop fell silent. It wasn't surprising that Li Murui recognized Su Xiao. From the moment Su Xiao entered Reincarnation Paradise, he had never activated the disguise function. He simply wasn't afraid of enemies retaliating.
Life in the Real World was peaceful and lively. The reason it was lively was because Li Murui, that chuunibyou girl, had come again. Su Xiao simply ignored her. This girl was bold and meticulous enough to lie down on the sofa and start playing on her phone. Judging by her appearance, she was clearly trying to latch onto him. Su Xiao just pretended she didn't exist, and besides, he could use her if needed.
Although Li Murui wasn't stupid, compared to an old yinbi like Su Xiao, she was clearly at the naive and sweet level—a little white rabbit offering herself up.
Time passed quickly. Li Murui wasn't as reckless as she seemed. When Su Xiao had only 12 hours left before returning to Reincarnation Paradise, she left the accessory shop. According to the tracker Bubu Wang had placed, she moved several kilometers away before stopping. Clearly, this girl had some sense of boundaries.
The sensation of teleportation struck. Inside the Exclusive Room.
