Chapter 39: The Tragedy of Angel's Heart (Part 1)

  After a stalemate with Qin Yue for a while, Chu Rui finally reluctantly took back the RMB he had handed out under the gaze of this stubborn woman.

  Originally, I just wanted to help this kind-hearted mother and daughter, but unexpectedly, I found a long-term meal ticket for myself. As Qin Jie said, what you eat here every day is far less than that damned Kun Ge takes from me. You helped us so much, if I still charge you money, isn't it slapping my own face? If you don't come to Qin Jie's place in the future, then I'll have Xiao Fei send food to your home every day!

  What can Chu Rui say when Qin Jie says so?

  He said a word of thanks and waved to the half-exposed face of Cheng Xiaofei hiding inside, then Chu Rui took her gift and slowly walked back home.

  Back home, Chu Rui took another cold shower to wash away the sweat from earlier. After taking out the clean clothes from the washing machine and hanging them on the balcony to dry, he finally returned to his bedroom.

  Looking at the box on the table, Chu Rui picked it up with interest and quickly tore off the packaging paper.

  Open the box, Chu Rui was surprised to see that inside was a very delicate red pouch with a faint fragrance. On the front of the pouch, a large "Rui" character was embroidered in red thread, and on the back corner, a small "Fu" character was embroidered. Inside the pouch was dried lavender, its subtle scent refreshing the mind and spirit.

  This must be done by that little girl herself!

  He fondled the exquisitely delicate lotus-leaf pouch, chuckling to himself. To him, this small pouch was more precious than any gift. This sentiment, this feeling, was too valuable for an assassin who walked in darkness.

  He took a deep breath of the lavender scent from his pouch, then put it on the table and walked out of the bedroom with a refreshed spirit. He entered another room where he had placed several pieces of fitness equipment.

  He moved slightly and digested the food in his stomach. Chu Rui went to take another shower. Back in the bedroom, he looked at the time and it was almost 10 o'clock, two hours away from the next day.

  Two more hours and I won't need to sleep, let's just wait it out!

  Chu Rui suddenly fell onto the bed, his hands crossed behind his head, staring at the ceiling as he thought about things, and then gradually lost himself.

  A faint recollection of the past two days' journey in "Tianyun" revealed many strange aspects. Especially when he first killed six greedy wolves in front of everyone, and just now when he exploded the Blast Spider Emperor. At those times, it seemed as if there was a special power driving him from within his body. In both battles, his mental strength, focus, and mind were exceptionally clear and concentrated, becoming even more so in the most chaotic moments. And what about that explosive power that burst out at critical moments? This wasn't something he hadn't encountered before; it had happened many times during his three-year career as a killer. Indeed, Chu Rui's body had always contained an extremely special energy, which was usually dormant but would emerge at critical moments. At those times, not only his mind but also his physical strength would greatly increase, with huge improvements in endurance, agility, and power.

  When it comes to the Killer Blood Hand Ghost, the first thing that comes to mind is that eerie hand and ghostly figure. The speed has already exceeded human limits, making it impossible to grasp. Chu Rui was constantly exploring, gradually stimulating that mysterious power, although no other effects were found, but his body became stronger and more distorted. Now, his physical strength, flexibility, internal power, explosive force, and speed are all at a demonic level. This is also why he transformed from an orphan to the King of Ghostly Assassins who strikes fear into people's hearts.

  The body is transformed, that's undeniable. But why does it appear in the game? If only brain waves enter the game, it should have nothing to do with one's own body.

  What's going on?

  Chu Rui was completely baffled!

  "Sky Roar" is said to be a game, but I'm afraid anyone with even a little bit of brains wouldn't think that. However, the vast majority of people still understand it as bringing an extraordinary impact to the real world. It's like Chu Rui who thinks it's a mysterious and extremely special secret, probably very few people think so.

  What on earth is this thing, it's still unknown for now. Something that can be developed by so many powerful countries around the world, will it simply be just a game? Obviously not! As for the secrets and hidden truths behind it, you can only rely on yourself to dig them out. Those governments will absolutely not expose this information.

  No way, it's impossible to pry open the mouth of the authorities in reality, so we can only seek answers in the virtual world. I believe that the "Tianyun" world will have some clues.

  Chu Rui, who was deeply troubled, didn't notice the passage of time at all. When the alarm clock rang, he was still somewhat bewildered as to why time had passed so quickly!

  He took a look and confirmed that it was already 0 o'clock. He temporarily threw away those annoying things, put on his headset, turned on the power, and entered the game world.

  "Ding, welcome to the world of 'Tianyun', wish you a happy gaming experience!"

  A flash of white light, and Chu Rui appeared in the dark and damp mine tunnel.

  "Ding, player 'Autumn Leaf' requests a conversation with you, will you accept?"

  "Agreed!"

  "Sly brother, where are you? How come I logged in but didn't see your figure?"

  Ye Zi Feng's voice came from the other end of the communicator.

  "I'm ahead of you. After you guys logged off yesterday, I scouted the road a bit. Come on over, there's only one path here and no monsters, it's safe!"

  Chu Rui said a sentence to Ye Zi Feng and then hung up the call, because, Kris is coming!

  "Welcome!" Kris smiled brightly at Chu Rui.

  "I'm here!" Chu Rui smiled and responded with a simple greeting, but it gave him an inexplicable warmth.

  After chatting with Kris for a while, Ye Zi Feng and others rushed over quickly.

  Seeing Kris floating in the air, Ye Zi and others were stunned for a moment. After all, Kris's image was too powerful, her whole body was surrounded by holy white light, looking like a person made of light, with a warm and gentle smile on her face, plus a beautiful golden long hair, if there was a pile of white wings behind her back, it would be a flawless beautiful angel.
