This assassin is upright

Chapter 57 A Different Plot
“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Walking into the clothing store, Yu Zhun knocked on the door as usual.

I didn't expect anyone to respond, but unexpectedly a familiar old voice came from the store.

"Coming~"

The old woman with a worried look on her face walked out quickly and held their hands. "It's been a long time since we had any guests here."

"Two guests, please come in."

Why is the old woman here?
Yu Zhun was somewhat puzzled, but he remained calm and smiled, "Thank you, grandma."

"You're so polite." The old woman smiled. "You must be thirsty on the way here. I'll get you a glass of water."

"Wait!" Yu Zhun was shocked and quickly pulled the other person back. "No need for water. We're not thirsty yet."

"Is that so..." The old woman nodded, "Well, there is no place to rest in my shop. Why don't you two follow me to the backyard and I will help you two guests find a place to rest?"

Take the initiative to go to the backyard?
Yu Zhun's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that the plot has changed because I didn't go into the clothing store before.

"Thank you, grandma." Yu Zhun gave Ji Xiaoyu a look, and the two followed the old woman, step by step towards the backyard.

The backyard was still as desolate as last time, and the dry well was still there.

The old woman passed by the dry well and couldn't help but sigh, "This poor child..."

"What child?" Yu Zhun decided to follow a new plot.

"A little boy of four or five years old, unable to survive, was forced to jump into the well..." The old woman sighed again and gently wiped her wet eyes, "Please wait here for me, I'll go clean up the house."

As she spoke, the old woman walked towards an old house next to the backyard.

"President, what should we do now?" After the old woman left, Ji Xiaoyu looked around curiously.

"Wait here for me, I'll be back soon." Yu Zhun put one hand on the edge of the well, turned over skillfully, and jumped down.

"…Eh?"
-
"Boom-"

Yu Zhun, who had fallen into the well, stood up straight. With the help of the blood light at the bottom of the well, he could clearly see the coffin in the well and the Blood Demon sitting beside the coffin. A smile appeared on his face, "Brother Xiao, here I come again!"

The Blood Demon slowly stood up and glared at Yu Zhun with hatred in his eyes.

"why?"

"You killed my mother, and yet you still won't let me go!"

"Ah?" Yu Zhun was stunned for a moment, "Little brother, what are you talking about, I..."

The health bar and panel that popped up above the Blood Demon's head made Yu Zhun stop what he was about to say.

So... we're entering combat mode?

Yu Zhun couldn't help but frown, letting the Blood Demon attack him, and walked up to him step by step, "Little brother, I'm Yu Zhun, I'm not here to harm you, those who harmed you have already been killed by me."

"I am here to end your suffering..."

The only response he got was the Blood Demon's unconscious roar.

Yu Zhun shook his head helplessly and raised the dagger.

【Life-108000】

As the blood bar was emptied in an instant, the Blood Demon's body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes briefly regained clarity. He turned around and walked towards the coffin behind him. He lifted a corner, revealing a corpse that had already turned into bones inside the coffin. With tears of blood in his eyes, he crawled in with difficulty.

"Mom, we will never be separated again..."

"Boom-"

With a dull sound, the coffin closed again, as if marking the final chapter of a piece of music.

[Congratulations on your great prowess in the Blood City, defeating the Boss Blood Demon (Lv25), level experience +15000! ]

[Congratulations on reaching Lv19!] [The dungeon boss Blood Demon left a surprise for you when he was killed. The dropped item is: Blood Red Raging Sword (Master Level)]

[When the dungeon boss Blood Demon is killed...]

Gone?

Yu Zhun stood there in a daze, feeling lost.

He always had a feeling that he seemed to have overlooked or forgotten something.

After staying at the bottom of the well for a while, Yu Zhun climbed out again.

"The president is so powerful!" Ji Xiaoyu, who had already received experience rewards and corresponding prompts, gave Yu Zhun a thumbs up excitedly.

Just one copy gave her more than 13 experience points. She was originally quite far from Lv, but now she has successfully broken through.

The speed of upgrading is simply heart-wrenching.

Yu Zhun was a little absent-minded, and just nodded casually in response to the rich woman's compliments.

"It seems that I am still a step late..."

In the old house, the old woman stumbled over and looked at the dry well with a sad look.

"But this is also a relief for the child..."

"In a sense, the sadness of this city is all caused by him, but it's not his fault."

"It's over... It's all over..."

The old woman let out a long sigh of relief and stumbled away.

[Congratulations on your perfect clearance of the Blood City dungeon. You will receive the perfect clearance reward: Lucky Charms x1, Blessing Charms x1, and Level-Retention Charms x1]

"Come on, it's time for us to leave."

Yu Zhun took out the badge, activated it, and took Ji Xiaoyu out of the copy.

The two of them changed into their second images and left the copy hall as soon as they walked out of the portal. After leaving the hall, Ji Xiaoyu looked at Yu Zhun curiously.

"President, why do you seem to be in a bad mood?"

Yu Zhun should be happy after successfully completing the dungeon, right?

"Because... the Blood Demon I saw yesterday seems to be really gone." Yu Zhun sighed and expressed his thoughts.

Yesterday, when Blood Demon said, "The next time you meet, it won't be me," Yu Zhun was a little confused about what he meant.

But when he saw the Blood Demon again, Yu Zhun vaguely understood.

He has become a programmed existence like other characters in the plot, as if he has lost his soul and only an empty shell remains.

"So that's how it is." Ji Xiaoyu showed a look of realization, "I've heard my grandfather mention this question before."

"The replica is like a corner of a real world. Those past events and plots have all really happened in a certain world."

“Completing a dungeon perfectly for the first time is equivalent to unlocking all the answers behind the dungeon. Players can receive additional rewards, but the dungeon will lose its own spirituality and become a rigid program.”

"But my grandfather also mentioned another possibility." Ji Xiaoyu thought for a while, "The copy is a cage that imprisons the spirit. After the first perfect clearance, the cage will be broken, and the spirit will be truly liberated."

"Spiritual...cage..." Yu Zhun's loss was gradually relieved. He raised his head slightly and looked at the sky outside the hall.

"Little rich girl, your grandfather must be a very powerful person, right?"

"Of course, my grandpa is super awesome!" Ji Xiaoyu showed a proud look, "Also, I'm not small at all!"

Yu Zhun subconsciously glanced at the ripples in front of the rich woman, and then quickly looked away.

It’s really not small.

"Let's go and apply for a copy for tomorrow."
