Chapter 80: Black Card (Ten Thousand Words Updated)

Lu Zeyu had heavy dark circles under his eyes; for the past two days, he hadn't gone out to relieve stress for fear of being hunted, and he hadn't slept soundly at night either.

Suddenly, he was startled awake by the sound of dense footsteps; he sprang up and went to the living room to look at the footage from the cameras on his computer, where the people in the hallway all seemed to have some urgent matter, all heading outside.

Although he didn't know the specific situation, staying at home right now was bound to be very conspicuous, and the chaotic crowd in the hallway made it impossible for him to distinguish who was an enemy.

But the sunlight outside was intense at this moment, and the shortcomings of the man-eating Ghost Bloodline were fully exposed; even if he wore thick protective gear, there was still a risk of being attacked by the other party in the scorching sun and dying instantly upon stepping out.

"Damn it, if only there wasn't a lack of time, I could have cashed in that prescription and then had that weakness optimized by the Goddess!"

His heart began to thump violently.

Lu Zeyu was very certain that it must be that guy who had come.

That guy Tao Baibai had actually found him!

A sense of horror emerged from the deepest part of his spine and instantly spread throughout his entire body; he was ice-cold all over, and his powerful Constitution could not make him feel any warmth.

Subsequently, a deeper resentment arose; he knew it must be that woman Elizabeth who had betrayed him, as she had handed that rum over to Tao Baibai.

Lu Zeyu would not reflect on how many loopholes there were in his own behavior, nor would he consider the danger of not notifying Elizabeth when he wanted to take action; at this moment, he had nothing left for Elizabeth but resentment.

"Damn it, I should have acted sooner and killed that woman..."

Because of fear, Lu Zeyu's thoughts began to drift uncontrollably, but soon, the appearance of a set of footsteps made him want to lower even the sound of his own heartbeat.

It was a set of footsteps; the other party was walking up from the hallway, tapping lightly against the wall as if to announce their arrival.

The other party stopped at the seventh floor; would they find him?

At this moment, Lu Zeyu could barely breathe, and his hand gripping the firearm was covered in sweat; brown patterns began to spread from his neck across his entire body, and his physique began to swell as his strength, speed, and recovery ability all increased.

Crack!

The footsteps stopped; damn it, was it because only he had put up blackout curtains!

Lu Zeyu was not stupid; throughout his life, whether it was giving up on staying in a big city back then to return to his hometown and rely on his parents' connections to enter this kind of unit to work, or in his dealings with colleagues and leaders, he was very good at pleasing others and obtaining what he wanted without leaving a trace.

He had some small cleverness.

The only time he was a little greedy was when he clicked that 【yes】; in that instant, he was greedy, and he wanted to obtain power that transcended all mundane daily life.

As for intercepting the deal between Tao Baibai and Muzan, Lu Zeyu didn't feel there was anything wrong with himself; that was something every Reincarnator had the right to do, and it was just a matter of winner takes all...

Step, step, step...

The footsteps arrived in front of the door; Lu Zeyu's mouth was already full of fangs, and his feet burst through his shoes, fully revealing his man-eating Ghost posture.

Knock, knock.

The moment the knocking sounded, Lu Zeyu's pupils constricted, and he suddenly raised the blue shotgun named 【Terminator's Grip】 in his hand and pulled the trigger.

At this moment, he no longer considered what would happen in the future; he just wanted to survive.

Bang!

The moment the door exploded, Lu Zeyu, with trembling pupils, saw that guy wearing a baseball cap leaning against the wall, having completely dodged this shot.

Damn it, the other party had predicted it.

When Bai Cangshu knocked on the door, he was actually well-prepared, and his sensitivity to breathing at this moment far exceeded Lu Zeyu's understanding.

Human breathing is also a rhythm, a frequency, a sign.

Before launching an attack, people always subconsciously take a deep breath, and at the moment of launching the attack, they will hold their breath for a long time, especially when performing highly stimulating actions like firing a gun.

Bai Cangshu twisted his waist, watching the shattered door panel fly out from the seventh-floor corridor.

Vincent's shotgun shell ejected instantly; he changed direction, lowered the barrel, and pulled the trigger again at Bai Cangshu.

Swish!

【Thunder Breathing: Thunderclap and Flash】!

Like a muffled thunder suddenly exploding, the space in front of Vincent went empty; he subconsciously turned his head, and a hand had already violently struck from behind him.

The breathing rhythm in Bai Cangshu's mouth and nose changed intensely, and his lungs felt a stinging pain because of this change, but Bai Cangshu seemed to have no pause in his movements; he pressed one hand onto Vincent—no, onto Lu Zeyu's face—and suddenly smashed him against the door frame that had lost its panel.

Bang!

The force was so great that the wall vibrated with a bang, and blood had already splattered.

Bai Cangshu was expressionless; pressing on Lu Zeyu's head, he began to sprint along the hallway.

Squish, squish...

Amidst the violent friction between flesh and wall, flesh and blood mixed with lime and cement kept falling off.

"Ah!"

The sound of Lu Zeyu's miserable wailing no longer sounded like a human voice at all; his howling suddenly became sharp.

Ring!

A violent ringing in the ears struck; Bai Cangshu felt the entire space seemed to be vibrating, and his ears began to bleed instantly, while Lu Zeyu suddenly punched the wall, and the wall shattered in response.

He also took the opportunity to land, and his head, which had been almost ground flat, quickly began to regenerate.

Click, the shotgun was reloaded; he was going to kill this Monster with one shot.

Click, click!

Lu Zeyu pressed the trigger twice, but it had no effect; looking down, a hand was already jammed inside the trigger guard. Bai Cangshu leaned his body backward; this Blood Demon Art of sonic attack was somewhat beyond his expectations.

A flash of light appeared in Lu Zeyu's hand, the shotgun disappeared, and that machine gun with an astonishing rate of fire appeared; although it was a white-tier weapon, it was more than enough to kill an unprotected Reincarnator at close range.

He pulled the bolt, but heard a loud boom; that guy's strength was truly terrifying, and just by stomping hard, the hallway had already cracked.

Crack, crack.

The hallway began to crumble; Lu Zeyu's pupils constricted, and his heart sank suddenly. If he fell now, he would definitely be killed by the sunlight. He looked at that madman with blood streaming down his temples, yet a bloodthirsty smile on his lips.

Lu Zeyu turned and lunged toward his room; Bai Cangshu's speed and reaction were both faster than Lu Zeyu's. The moment the hallway shattered, he leaped up as lightly as a white crane, his figure stretched out, jumping into the room one step ahead of Lu Zeyu.

Lu Zeyu jumped back into the room, heard the sound, and was about to raise his gun again, but a gust of wind had already rushed toward his face.

Bang!

Like a watermelon bursting, Bai Cangshu actually smashed Lu Zeyu's head with a single punch.

Lu Zeyu swayed twice and collapsed to the ground; amidst the trembling of his muscles, his head began to slowly recover.

Bai Cangshu did not use 【Ripple Qigong】 to kill Lu Zeyu.

Although Lu Zeyu had many bad habits, it had to be said that his behavior of stuffing rum into his 【Backpack】 gave him quite a few opportunities in a certain sense.

Bai Cangshu was unwilling to risk killing him directly and potentially drawing a few bottles of rum, so he gave Lu Zeyu many opportunities to counterattack.

Bai Cangshu's breathing rhythm surged, and the golden 【Ripple】 finally appeared; he squatted down and lightly slashed with a hand-blade, as if dissecting a white mouse, removing Lu Zeyu's limbs and shallowly slicing open his chest and abdomen.

"Now, I speak, you listen, understand?"

Lu Zeyu's head had just recovered when he howled due to the scorching heat of the 【Ripple】.

He attempted to return to the space, but the prompt was ruthless and cold.

【You are currently in a combat state, please return to the space after disengaging from combat.】

*Pfft! *

Bai Cangshu flicked his finger and plucked out an eyeball; amidst Lu Zeyu's wailing, he finally nodded.

"Don't kill me, I beg you, Tao Baibai, don't kill me..."

"Do you want to live, Lu Zeyu?"

Inside Lu Zeyu's opened chest and abdomen, his heart beat with extreme intensity, and Lu Zeyu, who was watching his own heart beat with his own eyes, felt his pupils tremble constantly, his facial skin twitching as if in a spasm.

This was a manifestation of a human beginning to lose the ability to control certain organs under immense stimulation.

Although Lu Zeyu was strictly speaking no longer human at this moment, he still maintained human reactions.

Facing the beast that had turned him into a human stick in an instant, Lu Zeyu nodded subconsciously; with his skull not yet fully regenerated, he could even feel his brain matter splashing as he nodded.

Bai Cangshu seemed very satisfied with this answer, nodding and revealing his signature smile.

"Very good, it seems we have a foundation for friendly communication."

Bai Cangshu extended a finger.

"I fought the 【Upper Rank Moon】 alone, yet you snatched the final fruit; that is not appropriate, you must return that prescription to me."

Lu Zeyu was unable to derive any positive emotion from the other party's temperatureless smile; he watched as the ribs and muscles on his chest were just about to heal, only to be sliced open again by the 【Ripple】-infused hand-blade.

Damn it, this guy is completely the nemesis of 【Ghost】s.

Lu Zeyu nodded subconsciously; in truth, he hadn't heard clearly what "Tao Baibai" was saying at all, he was only afraid, he only wanted to survive.

"If I kill you, I can obtain 1 【Attribute Point】 to be safe; you know, I am a 【Special Reincarnator】, so you must compensate for my loss."

Lu Zeyu's consciousness began to return at this moment; he looked at "Tao Baibai" stepping on him, and a thought stirred in his heart—if he could find a way to touch his body, he could unleash his 【Double】...

Lu Zeyu suddenly noticed that Bai Cangshu had stopped speaking; he raised his head and met those cold, ruthless eyes; the fake smile from just a moment ago had completely vanished, and what remained was only a pair of eyes completely devoid of temperature.

Although Bai Cangshu could not read minds, for a person whose chest had been laid open, the trembling frequency of the eyeballs, the contraction frequency of the lungs, and the rhythm of the heartbeat all indicated that the person before him had begun to think again. And he did not like it when his prey thought.

Bai Cangshu lightly lifted his right foot; Lu Zeyu suddenly felt a tearing pain in his scalp—it was a sense of crisis so intense it almost stung his nerves, warning him.

The next moment, the breathing rhythm in Bai Cangshu's mouth and nose shifted, the explosiveness of 【Flame Breathing】 coordinating with the violent downward stomp of 【Two Tigers Style: Fire Kata: Raging Fire】.

"Don't..."

*Bang! *

Bai Cangshu felt as if he had stomped a rotten winter melon to pieces, the pulp and foul-smelling juices spraying and splattering instantly.

*Swish! *

Blood dyed the entire room red in an instant.

Lu Zeyu's perspective spun; his head, like a rubber band snapped after a balloon explosion, rolled around the room, watching everything in his field of vision get covered by his own flesh, blood, and internal organs.

Immense pain and fear almost completely drowned him.

He didn't understand; he hadn't even done anything yet, this guy was clearly negotiating terms with him, why...

His perspective suddenly rotated; he was picked up from a corner by a hand; Lu Zeyu looked at this 【Reincarnator】 codenamed 【Tao Baibai】, covered in his own blood and flesh, yet still expressionless.

This guy really has issues!

Lu Zeyu was incomparably certain in his heart that this guy, even among 【Reincarnator】s who were already abnormal, was definitely the most 【Outlier】 kind.

!

"Let's continue; besides the 【Attribute Point】 I can obtain from killing you, I can also obtain your specializations, abilities, or items. You must pay for this part of the loss as well, any objections?"

Lu Zeyu wanted to nod, but as he only had a head at this moment, it merely swayed twice in the other party's hand.

He was truly terrified; he realized profoundly at this moment that he and the other party were not the same "species" at all.

Why did he have to snatch things from a guy like this...

"No, I have no objections... as long as I can live, I will give you everything..."

Bai Cangshu nodded and did not respond, then allowed the other party's neck and chest to grow back one by one; once the hands had grown out, Bai Cangshu extended his hand, signaling that the other party could hand over the items to him.

Lu Zeyu looked at this star of misfortune, not daring to have any other plans in his heart; a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a prescription emitting a purple glow appeared.

【yu15169987 (Vincent) wants to establish an 【Oath】 with you under the witness of the space: yu15169987 will hand over all his items as well as 80% of his 【Dimension Point】s and 【Singularity】s, and you will be unable to perform any further attacks against him; do you accept (the 【Contract】 fee is paid by the other party)】

Bai Cangshu saw this prompt and frowned, 【Ripple】 appearing in his hand again; Lu Zeyu hurriedly explained.

"The space 【Contract】 has the highest authority; only this way can I feel at ease handing over those things, otherwise, I would rather die!"

He was not stupid; if he handed over the items for nothing, he, having lost his value, would only be killed by the other party.

Bai Cangshu still shook his head; Lu Zeyu's heart turned cold, but without a space 【Contract】, he would not accept this certain-death transaction and could only choose to fight for his life...

"The 【Contract】 content is modified to me being unable to attack you within seven days."

Bai Cangshu seemed to have given this answer after thinking.

Lu Zeyu was stunned; the courage to fight for his life that had just risen instantly vanished; after a moment of thought, he understood the other party's concerns.

Tao Baibai was worried that the previous 【Contract】 content would result in him being unable to attack him even if the two met in the future...

This concern was very reasonable, and what made Lu Zeyu even more delighted was that thinking this way meant Tao Baibai was indeed willing to let him go.

After his heart began to beat again, he immediately changed the 【Contract】.

【Vincent wants to establish an Oath under the witness of the Space: Vincent will hand over all his items as well as 80% of his Dimension Points and Singularities, and you will be unable to perform any attacking actions against him for the next seven days. Do you accept? (The contract fee is paid by the other party)】

"Accept."

Lu Zeyu watched Tao Baibai accept the contract, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

【You have obtained the item: Unidentified Rare Ancient Prescription (Purple)】

【You have obtained the item: Terminator's Shotgun (Blue)】

【You have obtained the item: Lone Hero's M134 (White)】

【You have obtained the item: Average Quality Rum (White) *12】

【You have obtained C-rank Singularity *1】

【You have obtained 4800 Dimension Points】

Lu Zeyu lay on the ground, his mind beginning to ponder how he should explain the gunshot from just a moment ago; perhaps he should stage a gas explosion. In any case, the police couldn't possibly find any firearms on him, and if that were the case...

Suddenly, Lu Zeyu felt a gaze. He lifted his head; his limbs were still in the process of a slightly slow Regeneration. Having suffered several overly severe injuries today, his recovery speed had decreased somewhat.

Lu Zeyu saw that Tao Baibai, who had completed the contract, had not left, but was instead looking at him with an inexplicable smile.

A sudden panic gripped his heart.

"What do you intend to do..."

"We have a contract; you cannot in any form..."

Bai Cangshu looked at the things Lu Zeyu had given him, which compensated for his losses, and revealed a satisfied smile. He took the initiative to add for the other party.

"Cannot attack you, right? I know."

"I don't intend to attack you; I just intend to... do a little destruction, heh."

The next moment, a fierce wind erupted from within the room. Lu Zeyu's heart felt as if it had stopped beating for an instant, and a massive terror struck again.

Bai Cangshu turned abruptly and took a step out. The floor vibrated with a boom. He arrived at the balcony in an instant and threw a punch.

Boom!

The windows on the balcony shattered completely in an instant, and along with the thick blackout curtains, they were blasted straight out.

Lu Zeyu saw the dazzling sunlight shining in and wanted to dodge back, but Bai Cangshu took another step, his body instantly expanding.

Bang!

The brick wall cracked, and the window was expanded to its maximum in an instant.

The sunlight was intense and could no longer be blocked. Bai Cangshu kicked all the furniture out, one by one.

Bai Cangshu wiped his watch. The time was 10:15. The sunlight was just right, and the lighting in this residential complex was also perfectly appropriate.

He stepped aside, watching the sunlight completely illuminate this room he had broken through from both sides, and waved his hand at the burning Lu Zeyu.

"I will not violate the contract. You might not be aware, but I am very observant of the rules."

"Ah!"

Lu Zeyu disappeared bit by bit under the sunlight.

Bai Cangshu saw neither a kill notification nor a Scarlet Drop Card.

Because, indeed, this was not his kill; the other party was burned to death by the sun.

Bai Cangshu looked at the bloodstains on his body, frowned, went into the bathroom whose outer wall he had also shattered, turned on the spray, and rinsed himself off vigorously.

After washing himself clean, Bai Cangshu changed into a clean, light t-shirt and shorts from his waist bag, and placed a Black Card in the center of the pile of ash in the room.

Afterward, he deleted the surveillance records from the computer, turned, and leaped down from the seventh floor, disappearing into the woods below the residential complex.

One hour later, Bai Cangshu, his clothes seemingly soaked through with sweat, finished the Haidai National Marathon with a ranking in the top one hundred.

And after eating a seafood buffet, he boarded the high-speed train back to the city.

Little did he know, at this moment in Binhai, amidst a state of extreme tension, Song Xian suddenly received news from the special department in Haidai.

"A Black Card has appeared in a certain park in Haidai; it is suspected to be a battle between Reincarnators, and the scene is gruesome."

The crowd of Reincarnators staying in Binhai all had their own news channels; at this moment, they all stopped what they were doing, and the tense, sword-drawn atmosphere suddenly dissipated.

Another 【Card】 has appeared?

Or could it be that 【Phantom Sword】 didn't die at all, but instead lured everyone to Binhai while heading to Haidai himself?

A large amount of complex and intricate news seemed to ease the situation in Binhai in an instant.

That very day, all 3 Catastrophe Grade observation targets headed to Haidai, finally allowing Song Xian to breathe a sigh of relief. That guy suspected of being a Great Sin-type Reincarnator really made Song Xian very uneasy.

Bai Cangshu returned to Binhai University at night and did not forget to report his itinerary to his instructor and Luoshui; neither of them discovered anything unusual.

A black business car also drove out from Binhai University at this time.

Bai Cangshu returned to his dormitory, closed the doors and windows, and immediately entered the Space. He prepared to identify that prescription, but at this moment, he suddenly received a special offer.

【Offer: Beware of the Moon Demon; he already knows your approximate identity information; Offeror: pr334587xx (Professor)】

The next part will quickly gloss over the reality plot. The next dungeon is the Jujutsu Kaisen World, which has been wantonly destroyed by Reincarnators; new 【Cards】 and clues to the Sequence will appear;

It is difficult to get recommendations for anime Infinite-style works; I implore everyone's support;

Those who want to discuss the content can join the group.
