Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 508 The Taste of Revenge
"Victoria."

Only after the female corpse said this did Li Zhongren realize that the woman's appearance was different from that of the Central Plains Dynasty, and she should be of mixed race or something similar.

It's just that her bleak appearance made her somewhat overlooked.

Anyway, since you have nothing else to do, Ms. Victoria can tell me about your grudges and entanglements with that person.

As he spoke, Li Zhongren glanced at his ghostwriter system.

Although he accepted the female corpse's request, unfortunately, it wasn't a mission within a mission.

The system only tracks him, but doesn't offer any rewards.

However, the system also explained that the more prerequisites accumulated during the mission, the higher the final reward will be. The reason why this mission was rated as a golden legend is probably related to this female corpse.

"nothing to say."

The female corpse lay back in the coffin, her voice still cold and indifferent.

"The unfaithful man coveted my family's wealth and then killed me. It's that simple."

"I see."

Li Zhongren suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Li Wei.

"No wonder that person deliberately provoked you on your engagement day; he probably has his eye on your fiancée."

Is his fiancée from a priest's family?

"From inside the coffin," the female corpse asked.

"um, yes."

"Hu~~"

A gust of cold wind swept in, and the temperature in the entire room dropped significantly.

He wants to do it again.

"But the problem is..."

Li Wei suddenly spoke up.

“My fiancée’s family is very poor; all they have left is the title of clergy.”

"You do not understand"

Inside the coffin, the female corpse continued speaking.

"The wealth I speak of is not money, but the power of faith."

Perhaps because she suddenly spoke a lot, the female corpse's voice became more and more gentle and human-like.

"As clergy, they automatically gather a certain amount of faith power, or incense power."

"These are the real treasures for him."

"However, this kind of plunder must be based on marriage."

"Then, madam, why did he kill you? After consuming your incense offerings, wouldn't it have been better to just get a divorce?"

Li Zhongren asked curiously.

"You'll have to ask him, I don't know."

"All right."
-
Its daybreak.

Li Zhongren left the attic and looked outside. Everything had settled down. In the distance, he could still see a towering figure, like a giant, which had turned back into a statue.

I have no idea what kind of cults are operating in this city.
With a sigh, he quickly traversed the ruins and soon returned to Feituo City.

That's roughly how it is.

Upon hearing Li Zhongren's reply and the video evidence he presented, Li Wei's family breathed a sigh of relief, but were also instantly enraged. After all, their Li family was quite well-known in Feituo City and the surrounding area, with connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

Now, someone is trampling on their heads, and in order to plunder the power of faith, they even want to kill their son.
"Thank you, Brother Liu."

After a long pause, Li Wei's father spoke.

"As for arresting this person, leave that to us."

"In a moment, you can take this guy and exchange him for my son."

"OK."

Li Zhongren nodded. After all, he was happy to have someone else take care of things, and seeing how angry this family was, he wasn't going to be a third wheel.

"Second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, grab your weapons and follow me."

"yes, Sir!"

Under Li Wei's father's direction, the six people quickly drove away from their villa.
"Third brother, is there a problem with you?"

"No, that old guy is still at the woman's house."

"call"

Was the woman involved in this?

"No, they don't know, but this old guy offered very generous terms, and the family wavered a bit. They even didn't mind knowing that they had targeted Avi."

"Where is my fiancée?"

"He accepted his fate passively and said nothing."

"Kill them all."

"it is good."

The third brother nodded.

Regardless of the reason, people have always been biased towards their relatives rather than those who are in the right.

Therefore, if you kill someone's parents, don't expect their children not to seek revenge; naturally, you must nip it in the bud.

"Then I'll go and set it up."

"Go."

"Brother, killing those people is no problem, but those who can use the power of faith, could they be backed by an even larger force? Should we prepare for continued conflict?"

"You're so stupid."

Li Wei's father glanced at the seventh son.

"This kind of thing should naturally be left to the state. Don't you know that the state has repeatedly issued orders prohibiting private individuals from using the power of faith? We are doing this to rid the people of a scourge!"

"."
-
"Oh!"

"bump!"

"Oh!"

The long-quiet city of Feituo was suddenly filled with the sounds of gunfire.

Li Wei's father, along with his six brothers, relentlessly bombarded the target room, using all sorts of heavy weapons as if they were free.

Although superhumans are powerful, they cannot withstand the firepower of the technological side for long before reaching a certain level.

The seven brothers cooperated very well, creating a crossfire network that made it impossible for anyone to escape.

About ten minutes have passed.

The house was almost completely destroyed by the bombing.

The resistance finally ended.

The seventh of the seven brothers flashed into the ruins, but he disappeared in mid-air. This was his ability: concealment.

Soon, a whistle sounded from the ruins.

"Alright, let's go in and take a look."

Li Wei's father led the way inside. Inside the villa, the woman's entire family was dead, but the target was still alive.

"Give him a heart stimulant and pull him back."

"Yes."

The target was quickly taken away.

Neither of them exchanged a single word throughout the entire process.

Because it is not necessary.

"Brother, you're back."

After Li Zhongren left, the female corpse once again became too lazy to speak.

Bored, Li Wei waited and waited, and finally saw Li Zhongren, and the human pig with its limbs severed, which he was carrying.

Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life.

Li Zhongren threw the man, who was still breathing, to the ground.

Despite his severe injuries, he remained conscious thanks to special treatment.

This might not be a good thing. When he saw the woman in the coffin stand up, he was filled with indescribable horror.

"You...you...how could this be?"

"How could I possibly still be alive?"

The female corpse looked at the man lying on the ground.

Beneath his stiff face lay a multitude of emotions, and then, suddenly, everything returned to calm.

"Snapped!"

Just like swatting a fly, the female corpse waved her hand, and the man first turned into a block of ice, then cracked and shattered.
"Suddenly I realized that once you've taken your revenge, it's not all that complicated."

The female corpse slowly exhaled.
They sat quietly beside the coffin. "Well then, we'll take our leave."

Li Zhongren pulled Li Wei over, bowed to the female corpse, and then left.

Throughout the entire process, the female corpse did not glance at the two of them even once.

"Sixth Brother, I feel sorry for her."

"Then I can send you back."

"No, no... I was just saying. By the way, how is my fiancée's family doing?"

"They were all killed by your father."

"what?"

"They knew about your murder, but they didn't tell your father."

"All right."

Li Wei nodded; he knew his father's temperament all too well.

"In short, thank you very much, Sixth Brother."

"You're too kind. I'm just doing my job, I'm paying you."

"Um, Sixth Brother."

"what happened?"

"She, she caught up with us."

"?"

Li Zhongren looked back.

It was that female corpse that had actually caught up with them.

"Sister, what's the matter?"

"I want to leave here."

The female corpse seemed weightless, gently landing not far from Li Zhongren, looking towards the entrance opposite.

"I don't know if my obsession has dissipated, or if I can leave this place. I want to go home and visit."

"Oh, please go ahead."

Li Zhongren carried Li Wei to the side, letting the female corpse walk towards the door.

Then, the female corpse was blocked.

"So, there's no way to leave after all?"

The female corpse couldn't help but sigh.

“Sister, I guess the power you gained might be related to this secret realm, which is why you can’t leave.”

"But, Sixth Brother, how can those who took the good stuff leave?"

"Have you heard of anyone leaving with a living corpse?"

"Uh, that's not the case."

"so."

Li Zhongren looked at the female corpse.

"Her ability to move, her self-awareness, and even her preserved emotions most likely stems from some interaction she had with this relic. This interaction allows her to live, but prevents her from leaving. To put it more simply, it's like a program; if you want to delete it, the first thing you have to do is turn it off."

"Ah this."

Li Wei looked at the female corpse, a hint of pity appearing in his eyes.

"Then, Sixth Brother, can you help him? I can entrust you with a task, anyway, I'm already very rich."

"Ding!"

Li Zhongren thought it was just the rich kid talking nonsense, but he didn't expect the ghostwriter system to actually pop up a task.

Mission: Help the female corpse safely leave the secret realm.

Quest Level: Legendary.
Task Description: Find a way to safely remove the female corpse from the secret realm.
"What the hell?"

Li Zhongren blinked and looked at Li Wei.

"Okay, but regardless of whether it succeeds or not, you have to pay me first."

"Okay, then can I stay here?"

"Holy crap, bro, you're not serious?"

"Ahem, Sixth Brother, I just felt sorry for her."

"Pitiful??"

Li Wei's father glared angrily at Li Wei.

"You son of a bitch."

"What's wrong with my son?"

"No, I meant your son. He's taken a fancy to a corpse."

"What corpse? She looks quite beautiful in the photos, and she's very powerful. She'd be perfect as a daughter-in-law."

Li Zhongren sat on a sofa not far away, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, listening to a family of three arguing about the female corpse.

Actually, they were looking at the settlement of this task.

By bringing Li Wei back, he completed the Golden Legend quest.

To be honest, at first, he felt that this was not very difficult and was not worthy of the golden legend, especially since he was just running errands throughout the process.

However, after the mission was completed, he realized that the ghostwriter system did not allow him to exploit any loopholes.

There are many ways to solve a task. If he confronts the female corpse head-on, the task reward seems to increase. But if he takes a shortcut, the system gives him a golden task fragment.
However, he didn't regret it. He was a human being, not an animal. He wouldn't kill innocent people for profit. There was nothing to explain. That was his bottom line. If you didn't agree, then you weren't on the same page.

However, this golden quest fragment isn't entirely useless.

Besides being able to be combined with other quest fragments to form a complete golden legendary quest reward, it can also be used independently.

Its function is very simple: remove all debuffs and restore full health.

It can be said to be a super-powerful medicine; as long as you don't die on the spot, you can be revived immediately.

That's something to be proud of.

"Six brothers, please excuse my poor appearance."

After a heated argument, it ended with Li Wei's father losing and his sixth brother and his brothers laughing heartily.

Ultimately, the whole family agreed that they were willing to let Li Wei complete that task, and it would be best if he could bring the female corpse home so that the parents could see it.

Clearly, Li Wei acted out of male impulse and curiosity.

But this family is no ordinary people. If they could, they would be willing to accept the female corpse, which would provide the family with a powerful fighting force. After all, in the end, the world is all about who has the biggest fist. With the help of this female corpse, it seems that they no longer need to arrange a marriage with the priest.

"Not at all, it's just that Brother Li's son is kind-hearted. Since you agree, I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee success."

"Yes, no problem, the price is still fifty million."

"The total is one hundred million. I'll transfer it to you right away. However, my son is clamoring to go too. I wonder if you'd be willing to go?"

"No problem. I can't guarantee we'll rescue the woman's body, but protecting your son is no problem."

"That's good, that's good. My family business can't function without people."

"I understand. You go ahead with your work, we'll head over now."

"Uh-huh."

"So, you really have your eye on that female corpse?"

"Sixth Brother, please don't say that. I just feel sorry for her and think she's quite lonely."

"Haha...I get it, I get it."

After a long drive, Li Zhongren led Li Wei back to the secret realm once again.

This time, the secret realm turned into night.

Outside, everything was crimson and eerie.

Without wasting words, Li Zhongren waved his hand, and a portion of the liquid metal enveloped Li Wei, transforming him into an outer armor similar to Iron Man's.

Then, he expanded his liquid metal skin, transforming into a tall, thin, and bouncy mechanical structure. He grabbed Li Wei and hopped and skipped towards the city.

Everyone says this secret realm is dangerous.

But its danger lies in greed.

If you're not greedy, it's not difficult to get out.

But if you take something, you have to pay the price.

Clearly, the female corpse was one of them, but she was lucky enough to get the item, only to pay the price of being unable to leave.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"

Before long, Li Zhongren crossed a group of slow-moving monsters and arrived outside the attic.

Second-floor balcony.

The female corpse was indeed there, standing on the balcony, looking at the blood-red moon in the sky.

The moonlight shone on her already fair skin, giving it an inexplicable jade-like quality. A gust of wind blew by, and her long hair fluttered in the breeze.

Li Zhongren was unfazed, but Li Wei, standing to the side, was completely stunned.
