Chapter 85 The Genuine Fake

The wall plaster that the man had transformed into peeled off in an instant.

In fact, Jiang Fan's spell bullets did not cause much damage, but it hurt the students a lot.

So Zhuo Rui was immediately released from his hidden state, and tears welled up in his eyes. He clutched his stomach, looking as if he had lost his fighting ability.

Jiang Fan pressed down on his hands and then took out the ability lock that locked the sequence ability from his waist.

Unexpectedly, a black snake the size of a palm suddenly darted out from the wall and bit Jiang Fan's neck. However, before the [Taiqing Sword Seal] could be activated, Han Yi had already fired a shot and dispersed the black snake.

Just how many derivative items does this guy have?

Although these items are not powerful, they can all be used in conjunction with [Robber Zhi].

Seeing that the black snake had no effect, Zhuo Rui became somewhat flustered. He tried to get up but his two thumbs were grabbed by the back of his hand, and the mark of "Dao Zhi" lit up and then dimmed.

"What are you bastards up to now?"

Seeing that his resistance was ineffective, Zhuo Rui started cursing loudly, looking extremely indignant.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan exchanged a glance with Han Yi, and then spoke.

"Hand over what you stole."

Judging from the other party's words, there seems to be more to this story.

Jiang Fan didn't want to get to the truth behind it, as it would undoubtedly ruin his happy life of slacking off.

But Zhuo Rui saw that the two were avoiding the main point and thought that Jiang Fan and the other person were guilty, so he shouted even louder.

"She was right after all. You guys always rush to take anything good from us."

A dark glint appeared in Zhuo Rui's eyes, and then a huge curse mark appeared beneath his feet.

Before Jiang Fan could react, Han Yi grabbed his collar and pulled him back sharply. He felt as light as a doll.

In just two or three seconds, the curse mark was fully revealed, an inverted black pentagram.

In the blink of an eye, the spot where Jiang Fan had just been standing was pierced through by an extremely sharp, slender black hand.

The murderous intent so palpable made Jiang Fan have no doubt that if he were still standing there, he would be pierced through.

[Taiqing Sword Seal] was completely suppressed in that situation, and had no chance to counterattack at all.

The person who made the move must be of a much higher rank than Li Xiuyi to be able to do such a thing.

Jiang Fan's face immediately darkened. He reached into his pocket and gripped the game console tightly, while simultaneously flipping open the back cover of the console with his fingers, ready to use Rias's mark at any moment.

The perfect character my buddy developed in the first chapter ended up dominating the entire fourth tier in the final scene.

But to their surprise, after the hand appeared, it did not continue to rush towards them. Instead, it hesitated in front of Zhuo Rui for a while before disappearing.

"Mother..."

The man's eyes widened in disbelief; he couldn't believe he had been abandoned.

Just as Jiang Fan was about to say something, he felt an extremely deep malice coming from the side. Suddenly, countless cracks appeared around Han Yi, and the world shattered like a mirror, revealing the body hidden in reality.

It was a figure shrouded in black and red, sending shivers down one's spine. Even the most heinous and hateful crimes paled in comparison to such a figure.

Six black and red wings enveloped her, making her originally petite figure appear even more exaggerated and domineering, like a tyrant.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but meet her eyes, which were staring directly at Han Yi.

Heterochromia?

His left eye was a brilliant gold, like the breaking of dawn, while his right eye was a deep, dark red abyss.

Even the world's best contact lenses probably couldn't achieve the same effect as her; one eye is like a morning star, while the other is like hell.

Is this even human?

Jiang Fan gazed at this inhumanly exquisite beauty, a kind of beauty born from the bizarre. The refined would call it art, the common man would call it monster.

Those who appreciate both the refined and the common people can discover this seemingly ingenious skill, yet it is remarkably well-matched with the original mythology.

They call it that.

Lucifer

A golden light flashed in Jiang Fan's eyes. The enormous consumption of his mental energy made him feel as if his head had become a funnel, and at the bottom of the funnel, the information about this kind of existence finally appeared.

[Revelation: Bright star, son of the morning, why have you fallen from heaven? You said in your heart, “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will be like the Most High.”]

[Discover the Mythological Sequence "Lucifer"]: One of the highest sequences at the pinnacle of Western mythology, representing "Pride," the first of the seven deadly sins, and the fallen Morning Star. She was once the most radiant Seraphim, but is now the abyss king who reigns over despair.

Status Analysis: This sequence has achieved an extremely perfect fit with the host (Cecilia), who is the leader of many fallen ones and one of God's.

[Overall Rating: A (Fifth-Tier Mythical, Extremely Deadly! Immediate sacrifice of a Mythical-level Origin is recommended to counteract it, or close your eyes and surrender.)]

[The "Little White Ze" painting is the first to capture the essence of Western mythology, with dramatic changes occurring throughout the scroll!]

[Mythical Sequence Included x1, Gain 50 Legendary Points!]

[The Legend of Ten Thousand Demons' Feedback: Players' temporary resistance to mental attributes has been greatly increased, and they are currently immune to the initial mental pressure of "Arrogance".]

"Who are you?"

Lucifer asked Han Yi a question, twisting her neck as if she were not quite right in the head.

"Me too, we're the same."

But before the heterochromatic-eyed fallen angel could finish speaking, Han Yi's aura suddenly changed.

A sharp red weapon shot out from her body, directly pulling Lucifer away from her, before a huge rift appeared behind him and completely swallowed him.

Then the dark and decadent atmosphere around them completely disappeared without a trace.

A strange light appeared around Han Yi's ears and the corners of his eyes; upon closer inspection, it looked like scales.

Jiang Fan was certain he had seen it clearly. Although it disappeared quickly, it was definitely not skin tissue that humans could have.

"Is this sword the Moye? One of the two relics that resurfaced in Ganshan?"

He noticed that the sword that repelled Lucifer was the same one that the Ninth Bureau had displayed on the big screen after they entered the Dry Mountain Base.

Xu Jingtian, relying on the second-tier advanced [Xiang Yu], risked serious injury to prevent the relic from reviving, but failed to contain it.

Even with the most conservative estimate of the girl's strength, to be able to obtain this sword, she must be at least a third-tier being.

With that kind of ability, the lowest rank one would get in Tianjin Tianhai would be a deputy bureau chief.

Is the cute female junior who goes shopping and eats barbecue with you every day actually a hidden big shot? Although he had a plan in mind, it seems that the big shot is more powerful than Jiang Fan imagined.

To be able to directly force the disappearance of a fifth-order mythological sequence is simply monstrous beyond belief.

The difference between the mythological sequence and the ordinary sequence is not small. The difference between the true name sequence and the generic sequence is not large in the early stages, but it is not small either.

However, the mythological sequence already showed a strong suppressive force in the early stages, and the gap between those of the same level was already like a chasm.

Rias's [Pale Knight] Tier 1 stats already surpass her original Tier 2 [Knight] stats, and are even slightly higher than Tier 3 [Knight] stats, not to mention the various S-rank guaranteed skills.

The strength of a fifth-order mythological sequence...

Upon hearing this, Han Yi did not respond with her usual relaxed and lively demeanor, but instead gave Jiang Fan a complicated look.

"Yes, you don't seem surprised at all, senior."

The girl's bright eyes held a hint of danger.

This was the first time Jiang Fan felt that Han Yi had become less friendly, but overall it hadn't reached the point of feeling like an enemy.

"You already knew something, didn't you? But you just wouldn't tell me."

Han Yi poked her head out, her voice filled with an innocent, coquettish tone.

Jiang Fan suppressed his urge to insert Rias's game cartridge into the game console, his hand tightly gripping the cartridge hidden in his pocket.

He could only feel Han Yi's head getting closer and closer to his neck.

"Quick! The thief is right here...cough cough"

Several members of the Ninth Bureau's strategy team appeared at the alley entrance, led by none other than the loud-voiced Liu Huo.

Upon seeing the two embracing, he coughed several times and his pace slowed considerably as he ran over.

The other group members, however, wore pouting expressions, knowing that publicly funded dating was not allowed.

Jiang Fan hadn't fully recovered from being in Han Yi's arms. He admitted that his mind had gone blank for a moment; he couldn't be sure if the girl wanted to kill him or if she was just giving him a hug.

"Thank you, senior. Although I'm a gaming addict, I'm usually good at making girls happy. This time, I'll reward you with this beautiful girl's hug."

Han Yi raised her palm, as if to say, "You've fallen for my trap."

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow, then roughly rubbed Han Yi's head. The latter let him pet her like an adorable orange cat, looking no different from a young girl.

He just used [Insight] on Han Yi again, and unsurprisingly, he got nothing.

He is still a known student of Tianhai University, a member of the Eleventh Bureau's Containment Team Four, and his rank is First Order [Night Watchman].

The question is, which Night Watchman can effectively counter a Tier 5 Lucifer?

Although [Insight] is a product of the game console and is completely trustworthy, games always have bugs, and it is normal for unexpected things to happen.

Despite his doubts, Jiang Fan could only keep them to himself.

After all, we haven't gotten the treasure chest yet. Perhaps that treasure chest can solve some of the mysteries surrounding the girl.

Moreover, even after he knew something was wrong with her, Han Yi's attitude towards him didn't change much. Although he wasn't sure if Han Yi would come back to take his life that night, he was no longer as confident as before. Previously, Jiang Fan relied on his King Arthur and exclusive weapon to think that he could go anywhere in the world and that this treasure chest was already his.

But now I feel it's better to keep a low profile. I can even run into a Tier 5 [Lucifer] in Tianhai City. The game balance of Earth Online is just too bad.

"No, that's not how it is."

Zhuo Rui collapsed to the ground in agony, his eyes revealing absolute pain.

Strangely, the sequence markings on his ankle trembled eerily before turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing into the air.

Wow, even the real Dao Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and directly withdrew this kid from the sequence?

Jiang Fan stroked his chin; this was the first time he had ever seen someone's sequence disappear.

"Ahem, Jiang, young people should be mindful of the occasion; this is work..."

Liu Huo walked over, clutching the fire talisman. Second-tier [Fangshi] still wields considerable influence in Tianhai City, and his personal intervention to catch the thief demonstrates the importance he places on the matter.

"Hehe, we got it."

Unbeknownst to them, Han Yi had already put away the [Moye].

"By the way, did this guy say anything?"

Liu Huo seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked a question.

"No, after we caught him, he kept saying things like 'it's impossible'."

Jiang Fan and Han Yi nodded in unison, indicating that they hadn't heard anything.

"That's good. Recently, many people like him who are possessed by evil spirits have appeared all over the country. It's possible that another high-level True Name Sequence has made a move. This world is getting more and more chaotic. Let's leave this person to us. The Ninth Bureau has a way to find out their purpose."

Although Liu Huo used a requesting tone, his meaning was quite clear.

Jiang Fan naturally nodded in agreement; he himself did not want to get involved.

Even if Zhuo Rui has some enormous injustice, it can only be left to the game characters to resolve.

Zhuo Rui, on the ground, had completely lost the will to resist and kept muttering some supernatural words.

He was quickly dragged off the ground by Liu Huo and another team member and led out of the alley.

Just as he was passing by Jiang Fan, Zhuo Rui suddenly tossed a small object from his hand, so fast that it was like snatching chestnuts from a fire.

He tossed it directly into Jiang Fan's pocket.

The latter's expression changed, and he was about to speak but then fell silent.

He could feel the game console getting hot; what had this guy thrown at him...?

Is it a game character cartridge?

Based on his experience with inserting and removing cassette tapes, Jiang Fan quickly realized what that smooth, moonstone-like object was.

How is that possible?

What the other party just threw at me was definitely not a game cartridge, but this change occurred immediately after it landed on me.

It seems that the game character's cartridge is not formed naturally; rather, the player character is the portal through which the cartridge appears in reality.

As Jiang Fan was thinking this, he saw Liu Huo suddenly turn around and look at him.

"What's wrong, Captain Liu?"

"Li Chengfeng is dead. Before he died, he said he wanted to see you, but he breathed his last right after saying that."

Liu Huo's expression was grim. He seemed to know something, but he didn't say anything more.

"When?"

Jiang Fan was startled. He wanted to share the same question as Zhuo Rui: How could this be?

Wasn't she just discharged from the hospital not long ago?

"Just this morning, Lu Xia, who was on a mission with him, was also seriously injured and is currently at the First People's Hospital."

After Liu Huo finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Jiang Fan and Han Yi staring at each other.

"Something's not right, senior."

"really."

However, it's still more in line with you, but thinking of Li Chengfeng, who could be said to have become a partner of justice, dying, Jiang Fan couldn't take a joke anymore.

"Let's go to the hospital to get checked out."

"Are we going to see Senior Lu? (●∀●)"

Han Yi gave him a knowing look.

"Yes, and I'll also ask Li Chengfeng while I'm at it."

How did he die?
