77: Terao’s sword!

“Since you have the ability to obtain a secret realm admission ticket, you must also be knowledgeable.”

Zhong Qinger's disfigured face was shocking, yet her eyes were dark and bright.

She looked at Lin Chuan with vigilance and seriousness, and said with feigned profundity, “Then, you must have heard of… Destiny System items?”

“Destiny System items?” Lin Chuan's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

“That's right! Destiny System items are extremely powerful. I once used a Destiny System item to escape a death calamity!” Zhong Qinger said with conviction, “As long as you agree to one condition, I can give you the Destiny System item to help you escape death!”

Lin Chuan's eyes were cold and his heart was numb, but he still cooperated, “What condition?”

“Help me deliver a message to the Evil Dragon in the 129th Dragon Lair!”

“The message that killing the princess can permanently obtain a Talent?”

“N-no…” Zhong Qinger's answer almost blurted out, and only then did she realize, “How do you know?”

Lin Chuan was expressionless and told her an even crueler message: “I also know that the 129th Dragon Lair has been destroyed. Guess who destroyed it?”

“???” Zhong Qinger's clear and bright eyes instantly widened, filled with disbelief!

Lin Chuan looked her up and down, then said calmly, “Didn't you buy a guide from Terao? Don't you even know about the warrior badge that can restrain the Evil Dragon?”

“You, what exactly are you…”

Zhong Qinger was completely stunned!

Who exactly is this man?!!

Why does he seem to know everything?!!

Lin Chuan knew Zhong Qinger because, in his previous life, Zhong Qinger also had some fame.

If one were to ask who was the most famous in the apocalypse in the previous life, it would undoubtedly be Terao Yuina!

Almost all parallel worlds, all players, knew him!

In the hearts of all players, Terao was almost synonymous with omniscience and omnipotence!

Anyone who could be associated with Terao would receive some attention.

And Zhong Qinger was someone who had a very good relationship with Terao!

This was related to Zhong Qinger's own Talent—

Her own Talent was the B-grade Death Seal!

Behind this Talent, there was probably also a “true” character!

Because it clearly also contained a trace of the power of rules!

If Death Seal evolved to S-Class Talent, it would probably be an incredibly powerful existence!

However, the B-grade Death Seal, when viewed alone, was actually a particularly useless Talent—

Its effect was that it could seal living people who had no combat power into a death state.

It sounded like it had no practical use.

But in reality, it had a very practical function—

Trading living people!

The Killing Game's system trading function, in theory, could not trade living people!

But once a living person was sealed, they could be traded!

Terao Yuina's Fate Abyss Talent required a large number of living sacrifices!

He, alone, had to sell guides, capture living people for sacrifice, and improve his own strength, so he would naturally be overwhelmed.

And in the early stages of the apocalypse, his forces had not yet been established.

So, when Zhong Qinger sought to buy a guide from Terao and revealed that she could trade living people, Terao immediately recognized Zhong Qinger's Talent and decided to cooperate with her long-term!

Therefore, for a long time in his previous life, Zhong Qinger maintained a good relationship with Terao, which is why she gained some fame among players.

In his previous life, Lin Chuan also had a brief encounter with Zhong Qinger—

During the process of annihilating the Intelligence Pavilion founded by Qi Feng, he bought information about the Intelligence Pavilion from Zhong Qinger.

Later, after the Intelligence Pavilion was destroyed by him, Zhong Qinger even specifically went to watch.

Finally, with a complex expression, she even said “thank you” to him.

At that time, Lin Chuan didn't quite understand, only speculating that Zhong Qinger seemed to have a grudge against the Intelligence Pavilion.

Or perhaps, a grudge against Qi Feng?

Later, after Terao fell, Zhong Qinger also disappeared from the sight of the players.

Some speculated that, like Terao, she also indulged in opening black treasure boxes and ultimately lost her life;

Others felt that she acted as Terao's tool, harming countless lives!

With Terao's death, she might have feared being hunted down, so she chose to live in anonymity and dared not show her face again.

Lin Chuan didn't pay much attention to these subsequent events in his previous life.

He never expected to encounter this woman, who was called “Terao's Blade” in his previous life, so early in this life!

Even more unexpectedly, this woman not only obtained the secret realm guide from Terao but also acquired the SSS grade talent that Lin Chuan most desired!

This luck…

Wait!

Luck??!

Lin Chuan suddenly remembered that Zhong Qinger said she had a Destiny System item!

His expression suddenly became serious, and he stared intently at Zhong Qinger, asking in a deep voice, “What exactly is the Destiny System item you just mentioned?!”

Zhong Qinger's expression was tense, but she wasn't afraid of him; instead, she retorted, “You're unwilling to reveal any information about yourself, so why should I…”

Before she could finish speaking, her entire body was wrapped in iron wire, forming a cicada chrysalis!

Lin Chuan was annoyed by this woman, and the killing intent in his heart had not dissipated.

He clenched his hand, and the iron wire wrapped around Zhong Qinger suddenly tightened!

If it were a normal person, they would have already turned into a puddle of flesh!

But Zhong Qinger's body, under the contraction and pressure of the iron wire, instantly transformed into specks of black shadows, dissipating into the air.

This outcome did not surprise Lin Chuan.

If the strongest SSS grade talent defense was that easy to kill, it wouldn't be called SSS grade!

One must know that even Terao's Fate Abyss Talent was only S-Class Talent!

Lin Chuan looked at the black dots in the air and let out a deep breath.

He then said in a deep voice, “SSS grade talent is indeed very strong, but do you think it can help you avoid being erased by the secret realm rules?”

Zhong Qinger remained in the state of black dots, dispersed in the air.

When she spoke again in this form, her voice seemed to carry a hint of etherealness, light and elusive, coming from an unknown source: “So what if I'm erased by the secret realm rules? Won't you also be erased? After all, as a warrior, you can't kill me, this Evil Dragon!”

“Heh, you're too naive!” Lin Chuan chuckled lightly, “You can even obtain Destiny System items, do you think I wouldn't have a way to deal with the secret realm rules?”

The air was silent; Zhong Qinger did not answer.

She could feel the deep killing intent this man harbored towards her!

With her SSS grade talent, she wasn't too afraid of his killing intent.

But this man was too mysterious and unpredictable, and that was what truly scared her!

What should she do?

“Show yourself, let's talk properly.” Lin Chuan spoke again at this moment.

Zhong Qinger did not react.

Lin Chuan's voice suddenly turned cold: “Don't waste my time.”

Zhong Qinger hesitated for another ten seconds before finally revealing herself.

She looked at Lin Chuan, her expression wary but calm: “According to you, you have a way to escape being erased by the secret realm rules. Since that's the case, yet you're still willing to waste time on me, if I'm not mistaken, you must be coveting my SSS grade talent, right?”

Of course!

He coveted it so much his eyes were red!

One could even say that throughout the entire secret realm journey, Lin Chuan could give up all other gains, as long as he got the SSS grade talent!
