Chapter 771 A Gift from Heaven
Xia Shou continued to fuse, and continued to fuse the Power Bank and the Pinnacle one after another, but all that came out was garbage. As for the last one, [Delayed Blade], it was even more so because it was contaminated by the strange aura, and the current formation could not meet the fusion conditions.

After finishing everything that could be done, Xia Shou activated the backtracking skill and returned to the time before the fusion ceremony was started.

When Xia Shou appeared at this familiar time again, he subconsciously wanted Alice to pack up and go home, but when he saw a wooden box hanging on the branch next to him, Xia Shou's hair stood up all over his body, and unprecedented fear pierced Xia Shou's heart like a sharp knife.

Seeking one's own death means going back to the previous time node, and there was nothing hanging on the branch before!
In other words, someone ignored the law of time and took action within the effective time of [Self-Destruction], causing the scene that should have been reversed to change!

All along, [Seeking One's Own Death] has been his greatest source of security. This is the first time that he has ignored the rule of seeking one's own death in the real world.

No, it wasn't the first time, but it was the first time it was so obvious.

Xia Shou entered into combat mode straight away, his muscles tensed, ready to launch [Flash Kill] at any time.

The woods around were quiet. On this summer night, the insects were not so noisy. The warm wind passed through the gaps between the leaves, and the shadows of the grass and trees swayed in the corners of the vision like ghosts.

Among the dead lines scattered under his feet, none of them were fatal, which made the situation even more confusing.

Xia Shou stood there with his fists clenched, motionless, his eyes fixed on the branch that had nothing on it before, mentally prepared for a sudden attack.

At the same time, Xia Shou's mind was working frantically, and he thought of the most likely answer - black jade flowing light.

The thing that Pedros mentioned, the phenomenon that the clock tower has been studying, is something that can ignore the abnormal changes in real time.

Xia Shou didn't know how long he had been waiting, but in his perception it was only a few minutes. However, when the cell phone in his pocket vibrated, interrupting his concentration, he realized that he had been standing there for a long time.

I took out my phone and saw that about an hour had passed.

"Alice, go get that box down, and be careful."

While Xia Shou was keeping watch on all sides, he asked Alice to get the strange box, and at the same time he took out his cell phone to check the messages.

The message was from Su Yue, asking him whether he had ever been to the place where he had first experienced the death trial in his dream.

Xia Shou did not reply immediately. He just wanted to pack up his things quickly, find out what the box was, and then go back and tell Death Note about it.

Alice took the box off the branch, and Xia Shou immediately activated [Text Description] to inspect the box. A line of information appeared before his eyes -

[A wooden box wrapped in a special power. This power has been consumed and only a thin remnant remains, but the aura it exudes is quite similar to [Self-Destruction]. ]

This time the text description was really helpful. In fact, Xia Shou didn't expect to get any useful information. After all, this supernatural power has been failing for a long time.

But this time, the text description did provide very crucial information.

"Alice, open it."

"Yes, Master Xia Shou."

The box had no sealing measures and was easily opened. Xia Shou walked forward cautiously to check. Inside were five unremarkable stones, like pebbles that could be picked up casually on the river beach, and underneath the stones was a piece of paper.

At this time, Xia Shou's spirit was no longer as tense as before. Although he was still on guard around him, the chilling fear had subsided because he guessed a very high possibility - this box might have been sent by someone from Moyusi.

Xia Shou took out the paper from the box, which read: Boss, I got you five tree branch fragments in this incident. "Tree branch fragments? No way!" Xia Shou was surprised.

Could the branch fragments written above refer to the seven-branch fragments?

Xia Shou took five pebbles out of the box, thought for a moment, put them on his shadow, and began to devour them. Soon he got five low-level residues and five seven-branch fragments!

He cleared Moonburn Village and got one fragment, but now someone actually sent him five pieces directly, five pieces in total!
This gift was so expensive that Xia Shou did not dare to treat it as a gift, but as some kind of hidden trap with some conspiracy behind it.

What do the five fragments represent? They represent that he can continue to bring five skills from the Blood Dynasty to the present world!
Bat Shadow, Blood Clone, A Place to Stay in Nothingness, Gray Prayer Blade, Sword of Betrayal... These were the only five superpowers he had absorbed during the time in the Blood Dynasty, and the Sword of Betrayal had serious negative effects, so he would not bring it with him.

Therefore, even if he brought all the supernatural powers of the Blood Dynasty to the human world, there would still be a fragment left, which could be given to the minister.

His strength didn't just double, it increased exponentially!

"Calm down, I must calm down." Xia Shou took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, paying more attention to his surroundings.

Could it be that someone is ambushing me in the dark, trying to shake my spirit so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and kill me instantly?

The line under his feet is still very safe, but Xia Shou has already experienced being killed instantly without any warning.

The weakness of seeking death is that as long as the opponent kills him instantly the moment he wants to kill him, he will not be able to react, and the final result will be an instant death without any warning, so Xia Shou will not completely let down his guard now.

"Alice, pack up and let's go." Xia Shou said in a low voice, afraid that the sound he made would cover up the subtle movements around him.

While Alice was cleaning up the ceremony site, Xia Shou was fully prepared, but nothing unexpected happened until Alice finished cleaning up, until he walked out of the woods and finally called a taxi.

When the taxi stopped outside the museum and Xia Shou got out and walked to the museum gate, he still had a very unreal feeling.

He used text to check the status of the shadow again and confirmed that there were indeed five more fragments. Only then did he believe that what had just happened was not an illusion caused by the abyssal syndrome.

Xia Shou walked into the museum and followed the newly opened passage directly into the small park in the center of the museum, where there were twenty more elevators.

Because of the city's special nature, the control bureau no longer needs to use museums to hide its identity. Recently, it is undergoing a renovation to improve convenience. Instead of using hidden elevators, it is building new public elevators.

As Xia Shou walked towards the dormitory, he replied to Su Yue on his mobile phone, saying that he had never dreamed of seeing death for the first time either.

Strangely enough, Xia Shou almost forgot about this. After he woke up in the hospital, he didn't see any number above Su Weiyu's head, which meant that the trial was over.

But now that the trial is over, why hasn’t the reward promised for the first death been fulfilled?

Xia Shou guessed that perhaps only the final winner would be summoned back to that place, while the others were just surviving participants and would no longer receive any feedback.

If that's the case, then it makes sense that they are no longer summoned. Although Su Weiyu and Su Yue both have high scores, they are not transplanting organs from other people, and have not plundered any points, so they cannot be the winners.

Anyway, there's no point worrying about this matter, so I should go back and talk to Death Note about the five fragments, Xia Shou thought.
