It was a pity that before Wen Manni died, she was stripped of her identity as an "apostle" and became a world boss.
Otherwise, Yi Lin would have been able to touch Wen Manni's "box" after killing her.
Irin smiled.
He waited quietly for the next random reward.
[Obtained the item "Special Ghost Oil"!]
[Obtained the skill "Run Fast"!]
"…"
That was it?
The corners of Irin's mouth twitched slightly.
There was no need to look carefully. Irin could roughly guess what the items and skills were.
It was really … Irrefutable.
Just when Irin thought that the random reward drawing was over.
A line of words appeared before his eyes.
Irin felt energized.
…
[Apostle 1010 completed the hidden storyline "Legendary Ghost Hunter's Long-Cherished Wish" and prevented "Nie Xiu's daughter Nie Hongxiu" and "Nie Xiu's disciple Bai Xiaoyi" from the tragic fate of becoming the Ghost King. He successfully cracked Nie Xiu's ten years of plan and released Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi … Obtained the Spirit Enhancement Card "Red and White"!]
Spirit Enhancement Card!
It was actually the Spirit Enhancement Card!
…
[Level up …]
[Congratulations to the first-stage apostle for reaching the eighth level of the Tower of Death.]
[Current level: Level 8]
[Detected that apostle 1010's body is damaged. Consume death points to repair the body?]
[YES NO?]
“YES。”
Irin did not hesitate.
After all …
[Consumed 450 death points!]
[Repairing …]
[Repair complete!]
[Return!]
At this moment …
No one saw it.
At the peak of Mount Ghost Fog.
The moonlight shone.
Amidst the sea of bright red spider lilies, a small green flower grew out of it.
…
…
In the real world.
The Xiao family.
The doors and windows were locked.
No one … could escape even if they had wings.
Zhen Qiang stood on the spot, shaking his legs.
His eyes were tightly shut.
He counted silently in his heart.
10, 9, 8, 7 …
One minute passed in the blink of an eye.
No matter what the apostle experienced in the "inner world", to the real world, it was merely a minute.
"It's coming!"
Zhen Qiang suddenly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, he activated his skill without hesitation.
"Skin hardening!"
Even if that kid was lucky enough to return from the inner world, he wouldn't be able to walk out of the Xiao family alive.
Zhen Qiang was confident.
In his opinion, the gap between him and Irin was not something that could be made up for in a single trial in the Inner World.
If the gap between apostles could be so easily bridged, then what was the point of having levels?
Was this a joke?
He was just a rookie apostle.
He was a Level 11 Grade 2 Apostle!
Zhen Qiang smiled coldly as a layer of metallic color covered his skin.
Sure enough, after Zhen Qiang finished his countdown.
Irin's figure suddenly appeared at the place where Irin had disappeared.
Zhen Qiang was about to leave some harsh words before killing Irin.
To relieve the hatred in his heart.
After all, this kid actually made him wait for a full minute.
However, as soon as Irin appeared, he said something expressionlessly.
"From now on, let the world feel pain."
He spoke very quickly.
It was so fast that Zhen Qiang didn't have time to hear it clearly.
“？”
Zhen Qiang was suddenly stunned.
Why was it that you were the one who said harsh words first?
As Irin's last words fell, Zhen Qiang's vision turned black and he completely lost consciousness.
When Zhen Qiang regained consciousness again.
He saw Irin holding a small bottle in his hand as he stared at him with a smile.
He was about to throw a punch over.
However, he was shocked to find that his limbs were soft and had no strength at all.
His HP … was actually dropping at an alarming rate!
Immediately after, a sharp pain came from his neck.
Zhen Qiang subconsciously touched his neck and opened his hand to take a look …
It was all bright red blood!
80% …
70% …
His carotid artery was cut!
Zhen Qiang's heart trembled violently as he pressed down on the severed artery.
The speed of his life points dropping slowed down.
How could it be?
Zhen Qiang couldn't understand at all.
He was already prepared for Irin's control skills.
He even activated the defensive skill [Skin Hardening] in advance.
That kid couldn't break his defense at all.
How could it be!
"Impossible!"
Zhen Qiang shouted angrily.
However, he found that all he could say were puffing sounds.
His trachea … was also cut.
In shock, Zhen Qiang raised his head.
He saw Irin smiling brightly.
"Don't panic, kid. I know you have a lot of questions in your heart now."
"Power-type, life points are more resistant. I can still hold on for a while."
Zhen Qiang clenched his fists.
He gritted his teeth.
His eyes were bursting with anger.
Die?
Should he drag Irin down with him?
This was a problem.
When he thought of death, endless fear emerged from the depths of Zhen Qiang's heart.
As an apostle, he had to walk the fine line between life and death every time he went through a trial.
However, as an apostle, at the same time, he was also detached from ordinary people and the world. To a certain extent, an apostle with power could do whatever he wanted, whatever he wanted, whatever he wanted …
He didn't want to die.
He really didn't want to!
Then, Irin smiled slightly as if he saw through Zhen Qiang's thoughts.
"I have a bottle of 'special ghost oil' in my hand. Well, I just got it from the lottery in the inner world. As for the effect, it's very simple. Wounds heal quickly. Well, it's so fast that you don't dare to think about it. "
Hearing this, Zhen Qiang's eyes lit up. He was filled with the desire to live.
His life points were decreasing rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, half of it was gone.
If he didn't press down on the bleeding area, he would have become a "box" by now.
His trachea was filled with a large amount of blood. He began to feel suffocated.
The other party had control skills.
It could even break through his defense.
Zhen Qiang used one second to analyze the current situation.
He came to a conclusion.
It was not worth it to fight head-on.
Irin didn't waste time and said concisely, "Deal. Tell me where Xiao Mo is, and I'll give you the 'special ghost oil'."
Zhen Qiang didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even hesitate for half a second and directly chose to betray his "old friend".
After all, how could his old friend's life be more important than his own?
Zhen Qiang made a gesture and pointed directly below.
"Directly below?"
Zhen Qiang quickly nodded.
"Underground secret room?"
Zhen Qiang nodded even faster.
"Where's the entrance?"
Zhen Qiang pointed in a direction.
"Book, book, room."
He was afraid that Irin wouldn't be satisfied, so he used a lot of effort to vaguely say these two words.
"Study room? Is that right? "
Under Zhen Qiang's astonished gaze, Irin directly left quickly.
"After I deal with Xiao Mo, I'll come back and give you the 'special ghost oil'."
Behind her, Zhen Qiang slowly fell to the ground.
Irin activated the newly acquired "useless" skill …
[Run Fast].
As the name implied.
Its function was really just to run fast.
…
[Run Fast]
[Grade] D
[Consumption] 1 psionic energy per second
[Effect] Increase movement speed by 20%
[Description] The God of Running will be with you.
…
What the hell is the God of Running!
Irin secretly complained while she went to Xiao Mo's study room at the fastest speed.
The mansion was very big, but the structure was not complicated.
Irin spent about 30 seconds to find the location of Xiao Mo's study room.
At a glance, Xiao Mo's study room was full of scholarly atmosphere. One of the walls was a quaint wooden bookshelf, which was neatly filled with books.
"According to the routine, the secret door is always behind the bookshelf."
Irin basically didn't need to look for it. She went straight to the bookshelf.
The dazzling array of books dazzled her eyes.
Irin's pupils shrank slightly, and she didn't say a word.
She scanned all the books at the fastest speed.
Soon, among the many books, such as business stories, chicken soup stories, successful people's autobiographies, and other messy books, one book caught Irin's attention.
The great improvement of her spiritual power made Irin's reading speed much faster.
But there was one thing worth mentioning. In the Inner World, Yi Lin's Spirit attribute had directly broken through the first layer of the "Spirit Lock" with the help of the ghost aura buff, increasing it to a high of 14 points … Now that it had suddenly returned to 6.4 points, he had the illusion that his intelligence had been forcefully lowered.
[ESCAPE].
[ESCAPE].
"As expected of the old guy, his thinking is too easy to guess … No surprise."
Irin reached out and pressed on the book.
The secret door was always behind the bookshelf.
Since ancient times, the routine was popular.
For a rich person like Xiao Mo, it was difficult to play tricks on the design of this kind of secret room.
If Irin really designed it, he would design the secret room at the bottom of the swimming pool in minutes.
Or on the other side of the mirror in the toilet.
Designing the secret door behind the bookshelf was simply too old-fashioned.
Irin twisted open the secret door, and an alloy door with "password, iris, and fingerprint" triple verification appeared in front of her.
"Haha …"
Irin directly took out the "ordinary life-saving hammer."
…
…
Xiao Mo was a little uneasy in the underground secret room.
It had been a full five minutes since the camera in the hall was destroyed.
The short five minutes felt extremely long to Xiao Mo, and every second felt like a year.
He didn't expect that Irin and Zhen Qiang were "the same kind of people."
He knew that in the world, there was a "kind of people" who were beyond ordinary people.
This kind of people had all kinds of strange abilities that ordinary people couldn't understand.
Without exception, this kind of people … were extremely terrifying.
He had seen Zhen Qiang kill people.
He blew up a person's head with one punch.
And it was from a distance of several meters.
After that day, Xiao Mo wanted to rope in Zhen Qiang at all costs.
Xiao Mo had a deep understanding of Zhen Qiang's terror.
As long as it was an ordinary person, he only needed one punch.
He didn't expect that five minutes had passed, and there was still no news from above.
"It's better to fight until both sides suffer …"
Xiao Mo gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.
"Ah, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Suddenly, a calm voice sounded from behind him.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Mo felt a sharp pain coming from the back of his head.
A few seconds later, before Xiao Mo had time to savor the pain, he closed his eyes and completely bid farewell to the world.
Irin was expressionless and pulled out the knife from Xiao Mo's head with a "pop" sound.
The Blood Jasmine was too sharp. It only managed to open a thin slit on Xiao Mo's skull.
So when the knife was pulled out, there wasn't too much of a bloody scene.
Irin's knife directly stabbed into the depths of Xiao Mo's brain and cut off the pons.
That part … was the center of the human life cycle and breathing.
Xiao Mo leaned forward on the table and looked like he had fallen asleep.
[Chaos Points + 23]
Xiao Mo was old and weak. His life was only worth 23 chaos points.
"Next …"
Irin used the fastest speed to find the "Sky Spider No.1" network cable port in the corner and connected it to the pile of equipment in front of him.
After doing all this, Irin turned around and was ready to leave.
While walking, Irin was still talking on the phone.
Molly was a little surprised when she received Irin's call.
"So Xiao Mo has two sets of AI defense systems here. I've already connected the second set to Sky Spider No.1. Open the door for me."
"You've dealt with them all?"
"Yes." Irin's tone was calm: "Oh right, the thing I told you before, you don't need to."
"Uh … okay."
Molly's tone was a little guilty.
But Irin didn't notice the change in Molly's tone for a while and quickly hung up the phone.
Irin quickly returned to the ground.
Calculating the time, from the time he bled Zhen Qiang to the time he killed Xiao Mo, it was no more than 3 minutes.
Because he didn't dawdle when killing Xiao Mo, it saved a lot of time.
Until now, Irin hadn't received the notification that he had killed Zhen Qiang.
When he returned to the living room, Zhen Qiang was lying in a pool of blood, his body still twitching slightly.
Both of his hands were pressing on his neck tightly. His eyes were protruding and filled with blood vessels. His lips and face were purple, and pink bubbles were gushing out of his mouth, nose, and throat incisions.
He wasn't dead yet?
Irin squatted in front of Zhen Qiang.
He started to think silently.
"…"
After Irin made the call.
Molly was extremely efficient. She only spent 23 seconds to crack the AI defense system that Xiao Mo was so proud of.
The door opened.
And after 23 seconds, Irin also finished thinking.
He made a decision.
He hadn't received the notification that he had killed an apostle.
Zhen Qiang hadn't turned into a box yet. He was still twitching slightly on the ground.
But obviously, due to the lack of oxygen for a long time, Zhen Qiang had already lost consciousness.
But for strength-type apostles, in addition to having strong muscles, they also had vitality and physique that far exceeded ordinary people.
In layman's terms, their life points were extremely high.
They were resistant to beatings and grass.
Irin dragged Zhen Qiang's body all the way to the backyard. Along the way, he dragged out a long path of blood.
In the burial pit, there were many corpses.
Irin reappeared. The pitiful bloody man who was buried deep in the corpses with his tongue cut off was already dying.
He only had time to lift his eyelids slightly and look at Irin who had returned. His dim eyes lit up slightly.
Irin kicked Zhen Qiang into the pit.
The bloody man trembled slightly.
He thought that Irin had thrown down a corpse.
However, he didn't expect Irin to smile slightly and only say nine words.
"Kill him and live … or die."
The bloody man in the pit realized that the "corpse" thrown down by Irin was still twitching slightly. His expression was painful and hideous. He was actually not dead yet!
If he still had strength and tongue, he actually wanted to ask, "What's the point of this?"
But he couldn't speak and didn't have the strength.
Live!
The bloody man in the pit only had three words in Irin's words in his mind.
Live!
Live!
Live!
In an instant, the will to live won over everything!
He didn't have time to think. There was only one thought left in his mind!
Kill him and live!
Kill him!
Kill!
The bloody man suddenly opened his mouth and bit Zhen Qiang's throat, who was right in front of him!
Crack, crack, crack —
Irin stood in front of the burial pit.
His expression was calm as he listened to the gnawing sound from the pit.
The bloody man bit Zhen Qiang's neck tightly. His mouth was full of blood.
After a while, the twitching Zhen Qiang finally stopped moving.
Irin didn't receive the notification that he had killed the apostle.
Instead, a strange gray card floated up from Zhen Qiang's corpse and quickly entered the bloody man's body.
In front of the bloody man.
A line of words appeared out of thin air.
…
[Do you believe in God?]
[Yes No?]
…
In the next second, the bloody man in the pit was shocked and disappeared in front of Irin's eyes.
There was still one minute left.
Irin entered the "module space".
Currently, Irin had two types of "currency".
[Death Points]: 2350
[Chaos Points]: 52535
Death Points were obtained from the trial in the inner world. However, for a rank 1 apostle, before more functions were unlocked, other than repairing the body, it didn't have any other use, so he didn't need to care about it for now.
Looking at the huge amount of chaos points, Irin couldn't help but laugh.
He was in a good mood.
More than 50,000 chaos points!
If he wanted to obtain this amount of "wealth" in the real world, according to the average value of 50 chaos points per human, it was equivalent to killing 1050.7 people to obtain such a huge amount of chaos points.
In the real world, before the order collapsed, it was almost impossible to achieve this.
Unless …
Irin went to kill without caring about anything else.
Of course, Irin couldn't do this kind of thing.
In this way, what was the difference between him and the horsemen of the apocalypse who would bring war and disaster to the world?
But killing "monsters" in the inner world didn't have any psychological burden.
Irin quickly calmed down and started to edit the module.
In the spiritual space, Irin first turned the two newly obtained skills into two skill balls and let them float on the side.
"Killing Skills" was an "enhancement" that was learned by oneself and couldn't be added into the module.
An apostle's ability was mainly displayed in two aspects.
"Skills" and "Enhancement".
Skills were abilities given by the "tower". Other than passive skills, active skills mostly consumed mana.
Enhancement was different. There were many types of enhancement. For example, Irin's breathing technique was one of the enhancement types.
It had to be learned, practiced, or used some ability to enhance the body. Only after being recognized by the "tower" could it be classified as an enhancement type.
In the later stages, there were many types of enhancement. Inner Strength, Magic, Origin Techniques, Resentment, Genes, Bloodline … there were as many as the stars in the sky.
In short, what one could obtain in the inner world depended on one's strength and luck.
Everyone had their own path of evolution.
"First is …"
In the spiritual world, Yi Lin's heart moved, and he threw the chaos value into [Pursuing Shadow].
[Pursuing Shadow] was very cost-effective. Also, it was upgraded from the C-grade skill [Aura Concealment], so it didn't consume a lot of chaos points.
Also, the reason why Irin could reach where he was today after his rebirth was because of [Pursuing Shadow].
"Thank you, Xiao Yang."
Irin silently thanked Xiao Yang's spirit in heaven.
…
["Pursuing Shadow" upgraded from 1-star to 2-star. Requires 1000 chaos points. Confirm upgrade?]
[YESNO?]
["Pursuing Shadow" upgraded from 2-star to 3-star. Requires 2000 chaos points. Confirm upgrade?]
[YESNO?]
["Pursuing Shadow" upgraded from 3-star to 4-star. Requires 4000 chaos points. Confirm upgrade?]
[YESNO?]
["Pursuing Shadow" upgraded from 4-star to 5-star. Requires 8000 chaos points. Confirm upgrade?]
[YESNO?]
…
The consumption of Chaos Points had actually doubled?
Clap clap clap clap.
Irin was expressionless as he pressed "YES" four times in a row.
…
[Pursuing Shadow]
[Grade] 5 stars (MAX)
[Consumption] 2 psionic energy per second
[Effect] When you are out of the target's line of sight or hiding in the shadows, your presence will be reduced by 100%.
[Description] You are destined to become a shadow!
“！”
His presence would be reduced by 100%. This was not out of Irin's expectations.
He didn't expect that when it was upgraded to the fifth level, the consumption of psionic energy would be reduced.
Irin was satisfied with this result.
However, the consumption of chaos points was a little too exaggerated.
Just leveling up [Pursuing Shadow] to the maximum level of 5 stars consumed 15,000 Chaos Points.
Originally, when the skill was upgraded to the maximum level, it could no longer be upgraded.
However, Irin still casually clicked on it again.
There was no other reason. It was safe.
However, a prompt appeared in front of his eyes.
[Insufficient authority!]
"Insufficient authority?"
Irin carefully pondered over this prompt.
It seemed that at the moment, the Horseman of the Apocalypse module could only upgrade the skill to the maximum level of 5 stars.
But … at the moment.
Looking at the remaining chaos points, Irin fell into a dilemma again.
The direction of the skill upgrade would determine his combat style for a period of time in the future.
Irin came up with three preliminary plans.
Plan A, upgrade [Entanglement of Calamity].
Plan B, upgrade [Ghost Slaying Technique].
Plan C, upgrade [Run Fast].
Of course, the reason why Plan C was C was that generally speaking, it would not be considered.
[Entanglement of Calamity] was upgraded from the B- level skill [Mind Shock].
Its starting point was higher than [Pursuing Shadow].
To upgrade [Entanglement of Calamity] to 5 stars, it would consume a total of 30,000 chaos points.
It was indeed enough.
But …
Yi Lin, on the other hand, had other considerations.
After thinking about it, he silently stuffed the [Ghost Slaying Technique] skill ball floating in the air into the module.
[This operation requires 10000 chaos points.]
[YESNO?]
“YES。”
