Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

You have to concentrate if you are more than five meters away.

Bai Yu tried its maximum distance and found that distances up to ten meters were acceptable, but it became difficult when it exceeded ten meters.

When he reached the limit of fifteen meters, he felt an unusual mental fatigue. From a radius of five meters to fifteen meters, the area had not only expanded three times, but nine times.

Moreover, the perception accuracy has also decreased a lot. The current limitations of Sky Eye are already obvious. The distance is not enough to completely replace vision, and it can only play a role in hand-to-hand combat.

For the ignorant ghost, it is enough.

Bai Yu began to look forward to the new form of Tianyan after its next evolution.

Just as he was about to open his eyes, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the balcony.

A ball of thread appeared among the lines perceived by the Heavenly Eye. This ball of thread continuously emitted ripples in all directions, becoming very conspicuous.

...There's something there!

Bai Yu's originally relaxed spirit immediately became tense.

He never expected that there would be a second person in his family.

Although the thing didn't look big, he had never remembered anything strange being placed on the balcony. There was only a washing machine and a clothes hanger for drying clothes. He had been in and out of the balcony many times before, so he was sure that there had never been anything there!

Therefore, the things hidden in the balcony must be from outside.

What is it?

Is he a spy sent by that mysterious organization?

Or is someone watching me and noticing that something is wrong with me?

Bai Yu gritted his teeth secretly... He had indeed relaxed too much in the past few days, thinking that the danger had gone far away, but this world was still very dangerous, and he didn't know when disaster would befall him.

The sense of security that he had spent more than twenty years building up in his previous life had been completely eroded in the past half month since he came here.

Now that I have encountered this kind of thing at home, I suddenly have the urge to run away.

But, without being sure what it was, he couldn't get angry.

Besides, I don’t know when it appeared on the balcony.

If he hadn't opened his third eye, he might not have noticed anything lurking in his home.

Bai Yu gritted his teeth secretly: "I was too careless."

He wasn't sure how much of what he had just said to himself had been heard.

The Chronicle of Heroes and the Guaranteed Rules are his biggest secrets and must never be known to anyone else - after all, he doesn't trust other people in this world, and he won't tell anyone until he has enough self-protection ability.

The country already has security concerns, let alone him, a guarantor with bad luck.

Bai Yu decided to find out the truth, so he picked up a wooden sword at hand... This was the solid wooden sword that Su Ruoli used for training. It was very solid and heavy, and was soaked in tung oil. Its texture was very hard, no less than granite.

Walk towards the balcony, carefully and quietly.

He closed his eyes and thought he had minimized the ripples of his walking.

But when he was about to walk to the balcony, the thing suddenly moved -!

not good!

The speed was too fast. Bai Yu knew that even if he opened his eyes, he could not catch up with the speed of that thing. He only felt that it was about the size of a volleyball.

Relying on the detection of his third eye and his intuition, he suddenly raised his right hand and thrust out an extremely straight sword.

The rapier hit Ripple.

But it slid away.

There was no solid feel in his hand. When Bai Yu opened his eyes, he saw a four-legged white-haired little beast that looked like a doll standing on the tip of the wooden sword.

"What's that...cute thing?"

It looked a bit like the lion head used in Guangdong lion dance. It blinked its big, fluttering eyes, then shook its fur-like tail, jumped directly down, landed on the coffee table, bumped into various bottles and jars, then jumped up again and ran towards the entrance.

Bai Yu immediately chased after it, but saw it jump directly onto the door handle and stomped its feet violently.

The door opened.

It also slipped out through the gap in the open door.

Bai Yu rushed to the door and then jumped back with lightning speed.

Because in front of the open door, there was a figure standing, and the white-haired little beast was lying on the man's shoulder.

"Who!" Bai Yu asked in a low voice, ready to switch to the projection of the heroic spirit and fight to the death at any time.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late at night..."

The person outside the door did not show any hostility. Instead, he lowered his head, bowed, and apologized sincerely.

As he bent down, a few red hairs fell out from his sweatshirt. "I wanted to knock on the door, but I saw you were resting, so I kept waiting. I put the Di Ting in to make sure you were awake, but I didn't expect to scare you. I'm very sorry for this. I'm sorry, I was too reckless."

Bai Yu did not let down his guard, but he also caught a few words, especially "listen carefully".

He said, "Are you from...Yan Luosi?"

"You've already met Jiang Heng, so there's no need for me to explain it again, right?"

The man took off the hood of his sweatshirt, revealing a familiar girl's face and long red hair: "Good evening, I am Qin Xuezao...Yanluosi, the Night Wanderer."

Chapter 79 The Road to the Underworld

"any drinks?"

"The Night Wanderer doesn't need to eat, you're welcome."

"Coke or green tea."

"A night-wandering god never gets thirsty."

"Boiled water or sugar-free Sprite?"

"...Green tea, please."

"I didn't buy any, I only have boiled water." Bai Yu handed it over: "Drink it if you want."

Qin Xuezao: "..."

She tilted her head: "I just apologized, and you forgave me."

Bai Yu poured himself a glass of cold water and took a sip: "I haven't forgiven you, I just invited you in as a guest and wanted to give you a hard time."

Qin Xuezao understood: "So making things difficult for me will make you feel better?"

"meeting."

"You can continue to give me a hard time."

"Then I won't be polite. Show me a mid-air split..."

Bai Yu had just finished speaking when he saw Qin Xuezhao stand up. He immediately stopped him: "Do you really want to perform? Have you ever been a deck cleaner? How can you be so skilled?"

"You said so."

"Is there anyone as honest as you?" Bai Yu couldn't hold it in any longer. "If I asked you to rob a bank, would you agree?"

Qin Xuezao thought about it seriously and said, "That depends on which bank it is."

"what?"

"You can rob Tiandi Bank."

Bai Yu: "..."

He sat down, resting his hand on his forehead. "So what brings you here to see me so late at night? A great Night Wanderer, you're not petty enough to come and pick a fight with me just because I beat you, are you?"

Qin Xuezao shook his head and said, "Of course not. How could I be so naive... I came to you because I need your help."

Bai Yu held up his cheek and said, "Do you want me not to tell the Sun-Traveling God Jiang Heng about your whereabouts?"

He said without hesitation, "It's not impossible, but they're very anxious to find you, and you skipped work and took Di Ting away. The Sun Wanderer is almost becoming the King of Ji Ji... He is responsible for defeating the fallen demons and clearing out the demons. Although I don't fully understand, it should be very important."

Qin Xuezao said calmly, "If I don't take Di Ting with me, he'll easily find me. If that's the case, how can I skip work?"

"What you said does make sense, but don't you want to reflect on your own actions?" Bai Yu said with a strange expression: "After all, I've caused trouble for others."

Qin Xuezao paused, then shook his head and said, "I plan to handle the demon planting issue myself. I have Di Ting, so I don't necessarily need Jiang Heng's help. As long as I complete my duties, not cooperating with him won't be considered desertion."

Bai Yu touched his chin and asked, "Do you hate Jiang Heng?"

"No, as a junior, I respect him very much and recognize his professional ethics and strength."

"Then why are you?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say."

Qin Xuezhao thought about it, raised his hand, picked up the dinner knife that Bai Yu had placed aside, raised it up, and stabbed it directly into the back of his hand. With a grunt, the tip of the dinner knife broke directly, and the other end bounced off and fell on the table.

Bai Yu was stunned.

Qin Xuezao explained, "As you can see, my body isn't made of flesh and blood. Although it has a layer of human-like skin attached to it, the body I'm using now is the product of Tiangong Si Yanshi. Strictly speaking, it's a Yan puppet made of extraordinary materials."

Bai Yu retracted his shocked gaze: "You are not human?"

Qin Xuezao shook his head and said, "To be precise, all members of the Yama Division are not considered human... We were once human, but after death our souls did not enter reincarnation. Instead, they were taken in by the underworld of the Nine Nether Emperor in the Yellow Springs Path. After that, we returned to the world of the living, and our souls were housed within the Soul-Nourishing Jade, regaining a hundred years of life in the afterlife."

"When our Yin lifespan dissipates, we will return to the cycle of reincarnation. However, the dead in Yama's court can also cultivate themselves through the Tao and extend their Yin lifespan. A fourth-level transcendental being becomes a judge, who can already act independently of Yanou. If one reaches the fifth-level transcendental being, they can even become a city god and suppress the ghosts in the underworld."

"From this perspective, aside from the different bodies we use, the difference between us and ordinary people isn't that huge."

Bai Yu touched his chin and underwent a revolution in his worldview.

The Yellow Springs Road, the Nine Nether Emperor, the Underworld… Yan Ou, Yama Luo Si… Even the dead can practice cultivation…

There is too much information and my head is itchy. Do I need to grow a brain?

But before that, Bai Yu had another question he had to ask. He looked at Qin Xuezao and said, "I understand the reasoning, but why did you break my knife?"

Qin Xuezao glanced at the broken knife in her hand and said, "I am using facts to prove to you that I am the body of the Yanluo Si puppet and that I am already dead."

Bai Yu persisted, "...So why did you break my knife? If I bought a steak and didn't have a knife, wouldn't I starve to death?"

Qin Xuezao was puzzled: "Is it that serious?"

"Of course it's serious."

"Then I'll help you cut the steak." Qin Xuezhao raised his left hand, and his five nails shot out and turned into sharp cutting knives.

Doesn't look very smart.

"...Please put away your magical powers first."

Bai Yu sighed. "Could you prove it to me in a smarter way next time? According to your logic, if you want to show off your fighting prowess, wouldn't you just punch my computer screen through next time? I can listen to you, but I don't want to lose money for nothing."

Qin Xuezao whispered, "I'm sorry."

"If you know you're wrong, don't make the same mistake next time." Bai Yu rubbed his brows. "Regardless of what you said about the Yama Division... I still don't understand one thing."

He pointed at himself and said, "What's your purpose in finding me and explaining all this to me? And why did you come to me? It seems like we don't even know each other, do we?"

He drummed his fingers on the table. "Are you trying to say I'm some kind of demon? You want me to go back and cooperate with your investigation?"

Qin Xuezao shook his head: "You are not a demon, otherwise Di Ting would have smelled it."

She continued, "I came to see you for two reasons. The first reason is personal."

"Private matter?"

"Well, a personal matter..." Qin Xuezao nodded. "I am a deceased person. I have already proved this to you. I am not human. After passing through the Yellow Springs Road and entering the underworld of the Nine Nether Emperor, I drank the water of the Forgotten River, which caused part of my memory to be erased. Although I have retained my basic personality, I can't remember many key things. Since graduating from the Underworld Academy, I spent two and a half years receiving training from the Yama Division and then became a Night Wanderer, but I still can't remember what happened in the past."

"Later, by coincidence, I found information related to myself while investigating the files of the fallen demon body. I immediately found an opportunity to apply for an outbound mission and came to Nanling City."

"My predecessor was in Nanling City... I don't know how I died, and I've forgotten too many things. I want to know these."

Bai Yu understood: "So you want to know about your life."

He suddenly remembered what he had seen at the Blackwater Martial Arts School. "Wait, so you really are the genius from seven years ago? She herself?"

Qin Xuezao said calmly, "That's probably true... The old school uniform I'm wearing is one of my relics. I went to the Blackwater Martial Arts School to investigate some clues related to myself. I overheard your conversation with that girl, and then I asked Di Ting to follow you all the way."

Bai Yu leaned back in his chair and said, "If you want to know who you are and what happened in your past, I can help you investigate... Qin Xuezao should be a celebrity. Only seven years have passed, so it shouldn't be difficult to find relevant information about your past. I can understand if you don't want to reveal yourself. After all, letting others know that you've come back from the dead is indeed a bit..."

He continued, "But there's one thing I don't understand. Why don't you ask the Changye Division for help? If you're looking for information from the past, the flow of information through official internal channels is much faster than asking ordinary people in the public, and it's also more accurate."

Qin Xuezhao picked up the teacup and took a sip.
