Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

On the top floor of a hotel, the Rose Girl sat on the edge of the balcony, looking down at the ground. At a height of several dozen meters, the night sky was filled with wind. She was holding a phone in her hand, and a blurry and distorted voice came from it.

"I know." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very young: "I saw it with my own eyes."

"He's your peer. Why didn't you intervene?"

"I didn't make it in time. I thought he could handle it, but I didn't expect him to die so soon." The voice on the other end of the line changed to another old male voice: "As a tamer, he should have learned to hide in the dark, instead of fighting in person. This is the reason for his death. Do I need to bear the responsibility for this?"

"No, the organization doesn't remember losers," Rose Girl said calmly, "but I will remember your dereliction of duty, Shepherd."

"I will fulfill my duty," came the magnetic voice of a middle-aged woman. "I will investigate the origins of that mysterious man. As for that young man... the harvest has already been completed. Besides, he has aphantasia and will die even if left alone."

"But his shadow is still there, which will become a hidden danger. The organization's hunting ground must not be exposed." Rose Girl said coldly: "Don't test my patience, and don't bargain with me!"

"...Okay, I'll find the right opportunity to deal with him." The old man said, "But I'm curious, how did he escape?"

The Rose Girl said calmly, "It's said to be the forced awakening of the Heroic Spirit's Principle... and it cost the life of a Silver-rank Transcendent. After I arrived, I only saw the last traces."

"The second stage was also damaged. This is really tragic."

"Heroic spirits cannot be judged by common sense. That little girl is not of ordinary Heroic bloodline. She is more likely a congenital Heroic spirit. After being harvested, she was handed over to the higher-ups. I didn't have the time to examine her carefully."

As the Rose Girl spoke, she lifted up an item on her wrist, which was a souvenir she left behind.

She snorted coldly: "Being curious about this kind of thing will do you no good...When you are promoted to cadre level, you will naturally know everything you need to know."

"Oh, I didn't expect that even after joining an organization like this, I still have to start as a low-level worker. What a cruel corporate culture. If you die, you die. There's not even any insurance for afterlife."

Listening to the nagging speech on the other end of the phone, the Rose Girl raised her hand and hung up the phone. She jumped down from the top of the tall building. Before landing, she stroked the wall with her right hand to slow down.

She put on a pair of sunglasses to hide the roses growing from her eyes and walked towards the magnificent street. Even at night, there were still many people coming and going on the street.

She just walked into the crowd calmly.

At the intersection, the Rose Girl passed by a figure and their shoulders bumped slightly.

The Rose Girl didn't even bother to look at the person who came, and she gasped in surprise.

"Don't touch me, you filthy thing!"

She walked away in her high heels.

……

The young man stood at the intersection, his face full of expression as if he wanted to sit at the same table with Liang Feifan.

Bai Yu looked at the back of the Rose Girl as she left, and resisted the urge to give her the middle finger.

He walks without looking at the road and is so arrogant and domineering... What kind of quality is this!

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed an object dropped on the ground, most likely belonging to the woman.

However, after being scolded, he was not so kind as to return the things.

I picked up this beautiful gold bracelet, it looks like it should be worth quite a lot of money.

Bai Yu cannot be said to be a good person who returns lost property, and it is impossible for him to chase the person and return the things. He is really not a saint.

But it’s not a good idea to keep such a valuable item to myself, especially since it belongs to this woman. It would be troublesome if I was falsely accused of theft.

"I'll find a nearby Changyesi branch to hand it in later." He thought casually.

He put the gold bracelet back into his pocket, and this unintentional action suddenly made him feel a buzzing sound in his ears.

A wave of memories came flooding back, overwhelming his entire vision.

……

In a blooming cyan crystal lotus, the girl held a sword in her hand and raised it towards the group of people in cloaks.

Behind her were the fallen people, lifeless bodies, and faces that were once full of life but now turned into rotten corpses.

She closed her eyes, and it seemed as if a tear fell, which was then shattered by the edge of her sword.

Facing straight ahead, a figure walked out. Wherever he walked, deep red roses bloomed, and the vines spread forward as if they had life.

Blue light covered the ground, producing crystals; red flowers covered the earth, growing crimson roses.

Green and red are intertwined.

The girl didn't look back, but stood up proudly, raised her sword, and took the initiative to challenge.

She shouted a resolute challenge.

"Come on, I'm not afraid!"

A flash of green sword light sank into the crimson sea of flowers and disappeared.

……

Bai Yu stood at the edge of the street and didn't know how many traffic lights he passed.

Boom...Boom!

Thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, and the summer weather changed drastically, from sunny to pouring rain in just a minute.

Dark clouds covered the sky, blocking the moonlight, and raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky. The crowd raised the objects in their hands to block the rain and covered their heads to hide.

A large number of people immediately dispersed from the crowded intersection.

Soon Bai Yu was the only one left on the roadside, standing alone in the rain.

His originally high spirits quickly cooled down in the heavy rain, his hair got wet, and raindrops dripped down his cheeks.

Words burned by the fire were reflected in his eyes.

[Relic: Crystal Finger Bone]

[Three-Star Heroic Spirit: Azure Desolate Sword Master]

[Heroic Spirit's True Name: Su Ruoli]

【Condition: Good】

Chapter 35: Cold Rain Tempers Bones, Killing Intent Boils

"Finger...bones..."

Bai Yu took out the gold bracelet from his pocket.

Notice that there are a total of seven crystals inlaid in the gold pendant.

Each crystal is polished to be crystal clear and looks like a round oval.

It's completely impossible to tell what material it is made of.

It was impossible for Bai Yu to see it at first, but the hint from the Chronicle of Heroes came so timely and hastily.

The moment he touched it, memories came flooding back.

He saw Su Ruoli's back and also saw the scene of her being swallowed by the sea of flowers.

"She has already..."

Bai Yu covered his mouth with one hand, trying not to say the next sentence.

...dead!

I saw it with my own eyes, so I can’t be wrong.

The fact that she was chosen by the 'Chronicle of Heroes' proved that she was dead, and the finger bones left on this golden bracelet were perfect proof.

The heroic spirit's body still holds extraordinary powers, and these powers were formed when her body was transformed into crystals. These crystals originated from her fingers, where the bones inside were removed and polished...

Bai Yu began to associate unconsciously, and a strong feeling of nausea came over him.

An adult's heart shouldn't be so fragile. This feeling of nausea is more like an autonomous reaction of this body.

…I should go save her.

...I have to go save her.

A strong and uncontrollable impulse is driving the body, and an unprecedented rage is roaring and running rampant in the shackles of reason.

...You all must die!

It was difficult for Bai Yu to suppress this impulse, and he didn't want to suppress it. Emotions would not dissipate naturally, but would only accumulate in his heart.

Just at this moment, a hand suddenly came from behind through the rain and pressed on his shoulder.

It also suppressed the anger deep in his soul that was about to burst out of his body.

"Where are you going?"

Bai Yu turned his head and looked at the hand pressing on his shoulder. It was wearing women's gloves embroidered with rose patterns.

The palm seemed particularly cold in the cold rain, and the fingers were slender, but in his eyes they looked like a scalpel on the dissection table, almost cutting through the flesh of his shoulder and piercing into the bone.

"Give me back my stuff first."

When Bai Yu heard this, he froze in place. He slowly turned around and looked at the figure behind him.

Boom!

Thunder exploded, and white light illuminated the two people on the roadside.

The Rose Girl stood in the rain holding an umbrella. Water fell from the edge of the umbrella, and drops of water formed a bead curtain. Her cold and ruthless eyes were reflected in each drop of water.

Bai Yu's body almost lost control in an instant.

He knew this woman and would never make a mistake.

The memory clearly reveals her identity, and the remains also prove who she was.

He is a member of that organization, and is of a higher rank than the Tamer... more dangerous and more deadly.

The entire Shadow World incident of Class 1, Grade 3 was planned by people from this organization!

Su Ruoli also died at her hands.

His body was roaring, his emotions were raging, and he wanted to punch this damn woman.

But Bai Yu knew clearly that he had to control himself, both his movements and expressions.

He is no opponent.

He was no match for this woman.

I'm afraid that if I show hostility and swing my fist, I'll be killed by her in the blink of an eye.

If you want to vent your anger, you can... but not now.

Control it, control it!

The heavy rain poured down on his face, constantly cooling his burning anger.

Bai Yu was very grateful for the heavy rain. The rain blurred his expression and also blurred the hostility and murderous intent in his eyes that he could barely conceal.

"What are you still standing there for?" Rose Girl urged again, "Give me the things."

Her tone was already somewhat impatient.

Bai Yu forced his arms to move. He had never thought that exchanging things back would be such a difficult thing.

For such a simple action, he had to rack his brains and do his best to complete it.

I was already roaring in anger inside.

...What a joke, these murderers, criminals, and wicked death row prisoners!

...and they still have the guts to walk around the city openly. These damn beasts are worse than beasts in human skin!

The fire in his heart and the frozen expression almost tore Bai Yu's personality into two at this moment. The conflict between rationality and emotion had never been so intense.

He raised his hand, as if he was not raising his arm, but kneeling down... or perhaps, the humiliation was above kneeling down.

Beyond the anger, there was an intense layer of shame.

This was clearly Su Ruoli's relic, but it was to become her trophy and be made into an ornament to be hung on her wrist to show off.

The Rose Girl took the ornament that the other person slowly handed over and casually put it into her pocket.

"You're lucky, kid...if you hadn't been standing there waiting for me."

The cold eyes behind the sunglasses revealed cruel malice: "You saved your life."

Hearing this, Bai Yu just felt it was extremely... ridiculous.
