Chapter 634: On the Brink of Death?

Lei Na was startled; the feeling Qi Yu gave her was as if he could tear her apart in the next moment, causing her to involuntarily assume a defensive stance.

"This is Qi Yu; he counts as your senior, a high-ranking investigator of the inner district."

"This is Lei Na; I picked her up from the slums."

Upon hearing that, Qi Yu instantly became even more displeased. What does "picked up" mean? Isn't it enough that the Master picked him up?

Lei Na continued to watch Qi Yu warily; this human-like creature before her was emanating tremendous hostility.

"Master, Ceng Tian said to clear up the anomalies here in the outer district; it would make it easier for him to help you clear your name."

In fact, Ceng Tian never said that; it was purely Qi Yu making it up.

"So, I've come to help you!"

Zhang Jie:......

"Get lost, Ceng Tian, still dare to PUA me!"

"Hehe, Master, I'll help you!"

Qi Yu puffed out his chest, assuring Zhang Jie; compared to her, Lei Na looked rather impoverished.

Zhang Jie curled his lip; his purpose in coming here was to find how to break through fifth-level will, where would he get the time to clean up this stuff?

"Alright then, Qi Yu, you'll train Lei Na properly in my stead."

"Received!!!"

In a place unseen by the several people, a black robe slowly appeared, gazing at them, silent and speechless.

He is not the guy who calls himself "Jie", but he is indeed him.

"....."

"This line.... why... is she staying together with Lei Na?"

His gaze turned toward Zhang Jie, who was chatting not far away with the others, a shadow crossing his eyes.

"Qi Yu has come here, living together with you; no matter how you say it, he won't go back, and he even took a big bite of your blood."

"There's no choice; you can only let her take Lei Na to clear the anomalies. For Qi Yu, killing these anomalies is a breeze, but for Lei Na, it's like a hellish scene."

"Qi... Qi Yu senior, you want me, a first-level will, to kill a B-rank anomaly...."

"The Master said, I must train you well!"

Lei Na was about to cry; Zhang Jie indeed meant that, but this isn't training me—it's trying to get me killed!!!

Qi Yu gazed at the timid girl before him; though he was displeased and didn't like her contacting Zhang Jie, he still listened to Zhang Jie's words.

"Train until you don't die—train to the point of death!"

A grotesque smile curled Qi Yu's lips; unbeknownst to him, he had already been thoroughly targeted by an ill-intentioned person.

"Hurry up! I don't want to say it a second time!"

"Anyway, with her around, Lei Na won't die."

"Okay... okay!!!"

Lei Na gritted her teeth; although she really didn't want to be with this guy who looks human but is actually a monster, she had no choice.

The B-rank anomaly before them emitted a sharp explosive roar; sensing that Qi Yu had permitted it to attack this human, it only now dared to strike.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Lei Na let out the same sharp explosive sound; adrenaline surged wildly at this moment, and with her reckless abandon, she picked up a steel rebar blade and charged forward.

And at this moment, an anomaly suddenly occurred!

A figure instantly shot out from some corner, moving so fast it produced a sonic boom!

He stomped and shattered the anomaly's head; Lei Na froze, thinking it was some senior from the Investigation Bureau who had arrived, but she never expected that the next moment he would charge at Qi Yu.

"Watch out!"

Qi Yu grabbed Lei Na's collar in one hand and flung her to the side.

And the next moment, that figure slammed hard into Qi Yu's body..

Meanwhile, Zhang Jie was currently running rampant inside the largest pollutant in the outer district.

"Fifth-level will..."

"Where am I supposed to find an opportunity for that!"

Zhang Jie was worried to death, when at that moment a figure likewise appeared from some obscure corner and kicked toward his kidneys.

"!!!"

Zhang Jie only felt his precious kidneys take a brutal kick; his whole body felt as if hit by a large truck, flying several hundred meters away.

"Cough.... damn!"

Zhang Jie watched the approaching figure draw nearer, instantly recognizing him as the mysterious person who had casually subdued the immobile Ceng Tian.

At this moment he clenched his fists, twisted his neck, adopting a posture ready for a big fight.

"What do you want to do again?"

"Nothing much, just purely wanting to beat you up."

Zhang Jie kept retreating, hastily using his light-cone vision to fall back, but the next second the person before him directly caught up.

Zhang Jie:!!!

He used no supernatural power, relying only on his legs, yet he managed to catch up to Zhang Jie outright.

"Who exactly are you!"

"Pfft!"

"Whoa!!!"

Zhang Jie's butt was viciously kicked, burning with pain.

"Don't talk! Endure it!"

Inside the forbidden zone came a series of howling cries, accompanied by the crackling sound of flesh being struck; ten minutes later, Zhang Jie stuck his buttocks up and lay prone on the ground.

"Hmph, treat Lei Na better."

"Otherwise, I'll beat you up again after a while."

Zhang Jie:.....

"What the hell, buddy? What did I do? I not only pulled her out of the slums, gave her a change of clothes, and personally helped her awaken her will—what's wrong with me?"

Now Zhang Jie is really certain: this Lei Na is actually the Lei Na spoken of by the mysterious people!

"You made that thing train her—I saw it."

"And... why are you together with that thing?"

Zhang Jie was completely bewildered—what what? What's that thing?

"What are you talking about?"

"It's that...."

He had just spoken halfway when his face suddenly changed; before Zhang Jie could react, he was instantly pulled away.

Upon opening his eyes again, Zhang Jie astonishingly discovered that he had actually returned to the Real World!

"What's going on? This place..."

Hearing the sound nearby, Zhang Jie also turned his head, but at that glance his expression also turned extremely grim.

"Qi Yu!!!"

Only see, on the ground not far away, fine fragments of flesh tissue were scattered, and Qi Yu's upper torso lay prone not far away, alive or dead unknown.

The mysterious person beside him had vanished without a trace, inexplicably; Lei Na was also not far away, caught off guard by this sudden scene.

She was unharmed, but Qi Yu....

Her body seemed to be broken into three segments, insect limbs accompanied by scattered flesh and blood falling to the ground, her legs completely severed; such injuries, if it were a normal person, would already be dead.

Zhang Jie's pupils trembled as he lightly placed his hand on Qi Yu's body lying on the ground.

"......"

Life... is pulsing.

"There's still breath!!!"

Qi Yu was severely wounded and near death; thanks to her non-human body, Zhang Jie immediately slit his own arm and fed his blood to her.

Soon after.....
