Chapter 1074: Severed limb regeneration?

~7 min read 1,275 words

Cheng Beixiao has an emblem too?

This...

Looking closely, Su Yang vaguely caught the mark branded on the "Blood Ghost's" chest.

Perhaps because they both had an affiliation, he could sense that thing!

"Hoo~"

Cheng Beixiao, like a whale swallowing water, swallowed the black-red aura exuded by the corpse in one go.

Immediately after, the ghost phantom on his chest became more solid.

The color of the blood-red airflow lingering on his body also underwent a subtle change.

It seemed to have a trend of turning black.

His entire momentum also became slightly stronger with the swallowing.

Granulation buds sprouted at the stump of his right arm, growing wildly.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked.

"Severed limb regeneration?!"

"To be able to reach this point without an injection, am I seeing things?"

"What exactly did he just... swallow?"

Yue Lan's eyes flickered, and a subtle meaning appeared between her brows.

" 'Malice'!"

"What?" Su Yang blurted out, then his eyes narrowed. "He can swallow emotions?"

Yue Lan nodded seriously. "Monsters harbor intense bloodthirsty desires in their hearts; objectively speaking, these desires are all malice."

At this moment, Su Yang's chest immediately became hot and burning.

He subconsciously touched his emblem, his pupils turning scarlet.

Thick blood Qi drifted over, all sinking into his mouth.

Nine-tenths of the body's weakness was dispelled.

Feeling the emblem evolving, Su Yang's heart stirred.

" 'Malice' and 'Merit' are two different things; they don't conflict."

"Yet they have the same effect!"

The death of one monster could give birth to two things.

They were absorbed by Cheng Beixiao and Su Yang respectively.

Their respective emblems could both evolve.

Then this also confirmed his conjecture—

Cheng Beixiao had joined some force.

And he hoped to fully evolve his emblem in this game!

This also meant...

The other party's desire was far beyond imagination.

What he wanted wasn't just a hidden achievement.

But to "plunder" wildly while everyone else was plundering experimental results!

"This guy has the same idea as me!" Su Yang thought to himself.

Wait!

Suddenly, Su Yang remembered what "Starry Sky" had said earlier.

If his killing of the "Blood Ghost" was for a letter of introduction.

Then the condition must be a requirement from some hostile force.

Originally, Su Yang thought this task could be completed as a substitute.

One head in exchange for one emblem; nothing was more cost-effective than this.

But now that he knew the truth.

He felt he had been played by "Starry Sky."

The other party's desire and intent went far beyond this.

"If 'Starry Sky' had known about Cheng Beixiao obtaining the emblem long ago."

"He used the 'drive the tiger to swallow the wolf' to give me a hint; could it be that he wanted..."

To plant a seed in his heart first.

"Starry Sky" knew Su Yang would definitely refuse.

After all, this kind of thing was thankless, not to mention.

Just based on their relationship, they hadn't reached the point of helping each other.

But if they really met.

Su Yang would definitely take it to heart.

Deliberately paying attention to Cheng Beixiao's every move.

His mind would always echo the transaction he had made back then.

Trying his best to avoid conflict with the "Blood Ghost."

Or simply going all the way and killing him.

At first, Su Yang had indeed envisioned—

Since it was a letter of introduction, why not kill Cheng Beixiao himself and join the organization "Starry Sky" wanted?

But at that time, he didn't know the "Blood Ghost" had already obtained the emblem.

Now that he knew the truth, his heart couldn't help but surge with stormy waves.

"Emblems can be plundered by killing the owner."

"If I had listened to 'Starry Sky' and killed Cheng Beixiao, then I would have two emblems on me."

"In this way, when he closes the net, he could catch both in one go!"

"And take them all into his pocket!"

A good calculation!

Thinking of this, Su Yang's eyes grew cold.

Only now did he completely sort out the cause and effect.

Then based on this, Su Yang re-sorted the timeline.

"Meeting the 'Blood Ghost' in the company was completely accidental."

"If Yue Lan wasn't there, I wouldn't have known his true identity."

"'Starry Sky' doesn't have the ability to control which player enters which game."

"Since that's the case..."

"The turning point should be the emergency task two days ago!"

"That is—Guo Fan!"

Thinking of this, Su Yang couldn't help but look at Cheng Beixiao, who was fighting fiercely.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Guo Fan was the starting point.

Su Yang never intended to go find that guy directly.

He thought about waiting for someone else to get it, then using the Bee King to get the "spoils."

But interestingly, it wasn't just the Imperial Company members who knew about this emergency task.

All players in the city knew about this task.

The coincidence was that Su Yang didn't move, but his dependents accurately captured Guo Fan's location.

And captured him, and Wang Defa used his talent to know the existence of the "key."

Going to the air-raid shelter to find Guo Fan's wife and daughter.

Even more coincidentally, he ran into Wang Yuning's group.

At the same time, the "Blood Ghost" also thought of this point at the same frequency, rushing to the air-raid shelter and just happened to run into the dependents.

Because of interests, a conflict occurred.

But for some reason, the "Blood Ghost" didn't kill them.

Zhuang Wu and the others were charmed and then came to Di Liu Shan to meet up with him.

They happened to be unconscious and escaped a disaster, resulting in their mental consciousness remaining intact.

So...

All of this had traces to follow.

"As far as I know, 'Starry Sky' is not a woman."

"Which means he can't be the supervisor who arranges everything."

"And Gao Zhiyi is a player; her arrangements are all related to the task."

"On this path, making some small adjustments can affect the overall situation."

"The so-called butterfly effect seems to have greater lethality for someone like me!"

Su Yang raised his eyelids slightly, gazing at Lian Shiqi, who was fighting endlessly.

A strange color flashed in his eyes.

"Even if it sounds absurd, but..."

"'Starry Sky' probably reached some agreement with Gao Zhiyi."

"Or, they are in the same gang!"

Following this logic, on the final day, the other party would inevitably show their fangs.

Those truly confronting them were far more than just Gao Zhiyi.

There was also "Starry Sky," and his dependents!

Even "White Wolf" was among them.

"Did Lian Shiqi find the 'Blood Ghost' as an ally just to make the two of us conflict?"

"It's a pity she calculated everything but didn't calculate—"

"Cheng Beixiao is not so easily manipulated."

"Nor is he stupid enough to kill someone just because he's unhappy."

"I guess Gao Zhiyi's group didn't expect that not only did I not have a conflict with the 'Blood Ghost,' but I also made a gentleman's agreement with him!"

Discarding the bow when the birds are gone, killing the hound when the rabbit is dead.

This encirclement would eventually end with one side dying in battle.

"Fine, let the long-standing grudge end completely!" Su Yang thought to himself.

After his thoughts were clear, he was more convinced that his choice was correct.

Lian Shiqi was just a guide.

She didn't have much permission or intelligence.

She was just a key chess piece responsible for opening the "task."

What was truly waiting for them was a carefully laid trap. ===== CHAPTER 1075 =====
