A brave man may not live, but he cannot die

Chapter 3 System, but the girls use new
Qin Chuan reached a cooperation agreement with the Demon King.

Before the day of celestial conjunction five years later, Qin Chuan wants to kill the earthling who traveled to Taimu Lan and became a brave warrior to clear the obstacles for the invasion of the demons.

In return, Ruby promised to let Qin Chuan return to his original world after the task was completed and give him all the gold owned by the demons.

Qin Chuan did not have much resistance to this matter. After all, the "humans of Tamilan" were people from another world that he had never met, and the "demons of Tamilan" were also people from another world that had nothing to do with him. He did not feel guilty about helping either side.

In particular, Ruby, the "demon king", does not have the stereotypical features of an evil alien. She looks like a beautiful girl who has just passed puberty. Apart from a pair of small horns on her head and being too beautiful, she is no different from a human being.

Most importantly, Qin Chuan needs money.

Qin Chuan has a relatively good academic background and income compared to ordinary people, but he still lives a difficult life. He works in the most prosperous CBD during the day, but has to go back to the most remote urban village to sleep at night. In addition, he has two not-so-decent part-time jobs, which almost fill his life.

Nowadays, it’s just a matter of changing jobs. It doesn’t matter where you work.

Not to mention how much the endless sea of ​​gold is worth, even if a small pile of it is taken out, it would be enough for Qin Chuan to pay off all his debts and live a simple and boring life as a billionaire.

I disagreed at first, but the devil gave me too much.jpg
Qin Chuan followed Ruby and walked in a long corridor.

There are arch bridges and murals on both sides, and vegetation is planted under the corridor, making it look like a back garden. However, the wisps of gray fog outside block the view, and it becomes unclear if you are farther away. The whole world is filled with an eerie sense of death.

There was no sound of wind, no grass moving, and no celestial bodies like the sun or moon in the sky. The gray fog emitted a faint light that was half bright and half dark, like morning and evening, and everything seemed to be between reality and illusion.

Along the way, Qin Chuan did not see any living creature except the Demon King Ruby. In the vast palace, there were only occasional guards-like gorgeous armor placed on both sides of the corridor. They were generally in the shape of humans, but the helmets were empty.

The walls and arch beams of the corridor are all carved with reliefs. Qin Chuan, who has a certain understanding of art, can roughly estimate the value of these reliefs. If they were placed on Earth, such exquisite sculptures would only appear in the palaces of Britain and France, or in a few Catholic cathedrals. If they were placed in an art gallery, they would be the treasures of the museum. But here they can be seen everywhere, as if the strong and indissoluble history was left on the wall in the form of carvings, which is shocking.

In addition to the murals, the gaps between the reliefs also contained characters Qin Chuan couldn't decipher. These characters clearly didn't fall into the "Taimuran language" that Ruby had forced upon him. For some reason, the mere shape of these characters made him uneasy. Staring at them for too long even made him feel dizzy, making him afraid to look any further.

This made Qin Chuan even more curious about the "demons" in the world of Tamilan.

"Who is the hero I want to kill?"

After walking for a long time, Qin Chuan finally couldn't help asking, "What's your name? Where are you? What special abilities do you have? You have to tell me this information, right?"

"If I knew who he was, why would I need to summon a piece of shit like you?"

Ruby's tone was filled with dissatisfaction, full of the mockery of a superior towards an incompetent subordinate.

".Then how do I find him? Post a missing person notice, right?"

"Taimu Lan has four continents, dozens of countries, and over a billion people. You can't send them all."

Ruby shook her head. "That's not necessary. I divined and found a location—this generation of heroes will be born in the city of Eswell on the southern continent."

"Divination?" Qin Chuan was shocked.

Oh my god, box!

"Divination can only give a rough range. Aishiweier is one of the largest cities in the southern continent. It is not easy to find someone there."

"Fortunately, the hero is not an ordinary person. The ministers I have placed in Eswell have already locked on some targets, and you can select from them."

"Minister?" Qin Chuan asked doubtfully, "Are there demons active in the human world?"

Ruby brought him to the end of the corridor, which was connected to a mountain. There were two tightly closed doors on the mountain wall. One had to look up to see the top, as if they were big enough for a giant to pass through.

"No, pure-blooded demons can't survive in the human world for long." Ruby waved her hand gently, and two huge doors swung open silently, as light as paper. "Those are humans who believe in me. They will help you."

"Humanity's faith in the Devil?"

Ruby turned her head, her red-gold eyes burning like fire, sharp and majestic like the rising sun, making Qin Chuan unable to help but lower his head to avoid her gaze.

"I am a god. I am a hundred times more powerful than those so-called righteous gods of mankind." She said something very childish.

Qin Chuan directly called His Majesty the Demon King mighty.

Inside the giant gate is a cave that is almost the size of a football field. After entering, the luxurious carvings and strange words disappeared. It was like a pure natural cave, and the smooth ground had a faint blue metallic luster.

In the center of the cave, four opened sarcophagi were placed in a disorderly manner, as well as a circular magic circle that crisscrossed and spread out in all directions.

"Unlike you, the hero who traveled through time only has a soul, not a body. You cannot identify him by his appearance."

"Without a physical body, could it be a case of soul transmigration?" Qin Chuan understood, instantly thinking of Tang San, Fang Yuan, and other heroes. "Soul transmigration. Interesting term," Ruby nodded. "But 'possession' is more appropriate. He replaced the soul of a human in Eswell. His identity is so flawless that even a god wouldn't be able to detect a single clue. The hero could be an ordinary person, a noble, a wealthy businessman, a religious figure, or even a man or a woman."

"But the only thing we can be sure of is that he's not very old, and with only five years until the celestial conjunction, he should have already made a name for himself in human society, possessing a certain level of ability and status. These are all clues. My followers have sifted through all possible targets, and you simply need to identify them."

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, then asked in confusion, "How can you be sure he has a certain level of ability and status? What if the hero is just a casual person? Times are different now, and everyone is just laying low. What if my fellow villager comes and does nothing but eat and talk about Cao Pi every day, becoming a stay-at-home, and never goes out? How can I find him?"

"No, he won't."

Ruby narrowed her eyes slightly, and her voice deepened. "Every brave warrior who travels through time possesses a special ability. It is precisely because of this unknown power that the Demon Kings of all ages have been defeated. This ability not only allows for growth, but also guides the brave warrior to expand their power, unite humanity, and strengthen themselves."

Qin Chuan was shocked. This special ability she was talking about...
Isn't it just the cheat system in online novels?!

"With this kind of power guiding them, it's impossible for a hero to remain unknown." Ruby walked to the center of the magic circle. Without her making any movement, the lines carved into the ground emitted a distortion like gravitational waves. "Every hero has a different special power, and this generation's should be the same. You must be careful."

"No, you want me to deal with a systematic time traveler?! Ah? Me?" Qin Chuan's expression was like a catfish spirit who heard "you get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples".

It turns into experience points to upgrade people by half a level, right?

"Don't worry, I have prepared this special ability for you. Although each portion is incomplete, there are four full portions, all stuffed into your body~"

Qin Chuan touched his body and said, "You loaded the system for me? Where did this system come from? Why didn't I feel anything?"

"Where did it come from? Haha."

Ruby opened her arms, like a conductor raising the curtain of an orchestra. The fluctuations of time and space passed through the coffin placed beside her and swept around Qin Chuan. The corners of her eyes and eyebrows revealed an impatient madness:
"Of course, it was plucked from the corpses of fallen heroes! It will be activated once you reach the pseudo-world. One of the powers within is related to divination. As for the others, whether they are safe and can be used normally depends on your life to verify~"

Qin Chuan only felt that the world in front of him was distorted, as if it was an illusion seen after being poisoned by nerve poison. Ruby's devil-like face gradually blurred and disappeared, and he fell into the rift between the world and the world.

The last words in my ear were:
"Bon voyage, my brave warrior."

Huh, Qin Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, sat up from the ground, and gasped for breath.

A strong urge to vomit came over me, and the world was spinning, as if I had just experienced a terrible plane crash.

But strangely, the pain in his body caused by the devil's pressure disappeared. Apart from dizziness and nausea, Qin Chuan did not feel any discomfort.

There was still a cave in front of me, but it was much smaller.

He sat in the center of an altar. The magic circle carved on the ground looked familiar. It seemed to be a smaller version of the giant magic circle in the cave before. The gaps were filled with sticky blood, and the fishy smell filled his nose.

Beneath the altar, squatted a large group of short humanoid creatures. Their skin was dark green, their noses were exceptionally long, and their clothes were as simple as those of primitive people.

The monster in the lead seemed to be a shaman or priest. It was the only one standing there, dancing extremely crazily, like a dancing snake.

what's the situation?
Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Damn, where is the beautiful demon girl?

But at this moment, as if hearing an auditory hallucination——

【Ding】

A pleasant crisp sound, like the startup sound of a Switch game console after being connected to a controller, suddenly rang in his mind.

What's going on?
Immediately afterwards, Qin Chuan's eyes blurred, and a large number of pop-up windows appeared and disappeared like the codes that quickly flashed when the computer was turned on, leaving only a simple window.

Not Tamilan's words.

But Chinese.
