Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 114 Interlude

That night.

As the leading city among the three cities of Donglin University, Suzhou University's nightlife is far richer than that of Lancheng.

Ye Weiwei was still wearing a white uniform from Suzhou University today. Underneath the pleated skirt, her shapely legs, straight and long, were completely covered by black stockings.

"Da da da".

The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground echoed continuously.

Carrying 15 bags of snacks, she jogged back to Suzhou University, greeted the teachers and students passing by, and then returned to the standalone laboratory that her supervisor had approved for her.

A "click" sound.

After locking the door tightly from the inside, she first put the food aside, then hooked her fingers around her heels and took off her leather shoes.

Then we prepared to eat.

"Knock knock knock!"

Just then, there was a knock on the laboratory door.

"?" Ye Weiwei asked in confusion, "Why would someone come looking for me at this hour?"

The supervisor has a key, and only people like the dean come to the lab, but what time is it?

"Knock knock knock!"

The knocking was still going on.

"Here it comes!"

Ye Weiwei hurriedly swallowed the piece of sizzling tofu in her mouth, then rushed to the door and opened it without thinking.

A strange man was standing outside the door.

The moment Ye Weiwei saw the man, her eyes lit up. "What a handsome guy!"

Yes, the man in front of us was so handsome that it was almost unreal; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a celestial being.

The man gave Ye Weiwei a deep look, and then, without waiting for her consent, strode straight in.

"Excuse me... is there something you need?" Ye Weiwei asked.

The man, who had already reached the middle of the first floor, turned around slowly upon hearing this and met Ye Weiwei's eyes at the doorway.

"interesting."

He chuckled softly, a smile so faint and casual, yet it inexplicably made the whole room seem to light up for a moment.

"Which star system are you from?"

This sudden question startled Ye Weiwei. It was like when you were eating at home and a strange man suddenly barged in and asked you if you were an alien—it was hard to keep your composure.

"?" Ye Weiwei looked puzzled.

Seeing that the other party didn't answer him, the man wasn't annoyed. He casually found a place to sit down on the ground and said to himself, "I had expected the resurrection of the Holy Remains to fail. This thing is inherently something that heaven and earth cannot tolerate. It's inevitable that it will encounter some setbacks during its resurrection, but..."

"7

"But why would I lose even the [powers] that I planned so far in advance? This is too abnormal."

"I've seen the memories of Soul Eater and the others. They're all the same. It was the Water Saintess who, in full view of everyone, defeated a level 1 mutant king with the strength of the fifth level of Body Tempering, according to the initiation rules of my sect, and then seized the [Power] from the opponent."

"But Xia Yuan just told me that the power... doesn't reside with the Water Saintess?"

"I can only think of two possibilities regarding this."

"The first possibility is that I'm crazy."

The incredibly handsome man stood up, his eyes shining like stars.

"The second possibility is that someone tampered with all of their memories and stole the mutated king that was temporarily used as a vessel for [power], and gave it to someone else beforehand."

"But even a grandmaster can't alter memories. It has nothing to do with cultivation level, but only with... stars."

A smile played on his lips as he calmly gazed at Ye Weiwei and asked, "You say... am I right, the second Star Singer of the Southern Sky Star Region?"

An eerie silence fell over the room for a moment.

Ye Weiwei didn't speak, but the puzzled look on her face slowly faded.

She remained silent for a long time.

So long that even the handsome man thought she wouldn't speak again, and decided to press her further—when finally her expression turned completely cold, and she uttered a single word.

"roll."

The next moment, the man's body suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless fragments like shattered stone, which fell onto the laboratory floor with a clatter.

Upon seeing this, Ye Weiwei's gloomy expression vanished instantly. She happily picked up the snacks on the table and began to eat, as if everything that had just happened was nothing but an illusion.

Lancheng, Headquarters of the Enforcement Team, General Office.

Wang Jingci rubbed his temples wearily and handed the approved documents to Pei Jinghe in front of him.

"Okay, all the formalities are done here. Now you should rest and recuperate for a while."

Pei Jinghe took the documents, his face still bearing the same smile he had shown whenever he met Wang Jingci over the past ten years.

"Recover my ass! So many people in the team have died, do you think I, as the commander-in-chief, can just run away?"

Wang Jingci said irritably, "If I had known that becoming the commander-in-chief would be this tiring, with no time for cultivation, I should have refused you when you wanted to promote me from captain."

"Haha." Pei Jinghe patted him on the shoulder. "Stop complaining. I'll treat you to dinner after this is all over."

"I'm not complaining." Wang Jingci's face returned to seriousness. "So many people in the law enforcement team have died. Behind every name, there are families waiting for them to come home. Since I'm in this position, I have to remember every single name clearly and keep it in my heart. As long as I'm in this position, this responsibility still belongs to me."

.

Pei Jinghe nodded seriously.

He then added, "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. The city lord has other things to do, so I'll be going now."

"Um.

""

After saying goodbye to Wang Jingci, Pei Jinghe's expression did not fade, and he did not seem to be faking it.

The only comforting thing he had felt in the past few hours was that his friend hadn't defected to the Voodoo sect as others had said.

Pei Jinghe's footsteps disappeared into the distance of the corridor.

The office fell silent again.

Wang Jingci got up, went to the window, and gazed into the distance.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly lowered his head and looked at a certain spot on his left hand.

There is a scar there.

Although the physical recovery ability of a martial artist in the Meridian Opening Realm is extremely strong, it is normal that the stellar power cannot repair the place where [Divine Blood] was injected.

Last night, Pei Jinghe asked him to stand guard outside with him. Recalling Qin De's unnatural expression when he looked at him, he, who had been the chief commander for so many years, immediately understood what had happened.

It's nothing more than reporting oneself for betrayal.

Ha ha.

It's a shame that they've been in positions of power for so many years and can't even understand this simple principle.

Who decided that betrayal must happen now?

From the day he was infused with divine blood, he knew that he had been given another layer of identity anchor, or rather, coordinate.

The coordinates for the arrival of the great ruler on this planet.

Since I exist for that day, what does the so-called resurrection of the "holy remains" matter?

With this thought in mind, he sneered twice, drew the curtains, and pushed all the sunlight out of the room.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Feng regained consciousness amidst a sharp pain.

He slowly opened his eyes.

.

.

What you see is neither day nor night.

Instead, it was a vast expanse of gray.

"Gurgle."

Suddenly a sound came from beside him. He subconsciously turned his head to look and saw that Zhang Ruanruan had also woken up.

Yes, the other person was also beside me when I was enveloped in the red light earlier.

"Where are we?" Zhang Ruanruan asked blankly.

"It seems so..." Jiang Feng looked around, as if he had finally realized something, and frowned.

"wilderness?!"
