Chapter 34

Sun Ran walked towards the outskirts of the city, and the squad members who had been observing his movements from a distance also followed out.

Ke'er was the closest to him. She quickened her steps to catch up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sun Ran showed her the direction the compass needle pointed: "The saboteur might be outside the city. You go and get Lan Xin; I need her help."

Even if the one hiding outside the city wasn't the saboteur, it was still a very high-level vampire, and it was worth checking out.

Ke'er nodded, fell back a few steps, and her figure quickly disappeared in the crowd returning to the city.

Sun Ran continued walking out of the city, more accurately, towards the body of the assassin Jing Ke.

A minute later, Lan Xin also arrived by his side.

Sun Ran lowered his voice: "Contact the game administrator and have him resurrect Jing Ke. The saboteur is very powerful, and we might not be a match for him alone."

Lan Xin was the team leader and the only one with the authority to contact the game administrator.

Having an additional powerful ally was a good thing, and Lan Xin naturally agreed, focusing on communicating with the game administrator.

After a while, she said, "The administrator agreed, but we need to get the body off the iron spikes as soon as possible. If it stays too long, bacteria will grow, and it will be difficult to resurrect."

This was a necessary procedure. Moreover, if the body remained on the iron spikes, the moment Jing Ke's consciousness connected with the body, he would die from the pain. He would surely hate the Thorn Rose team members.

Sun Ran nodded and pointed to a small hill about a kilometer away from the city: "Do you see that small hill?"

Lan Xin nodded.

"Everyone hide behind the hill. I'll handle the body. If anything goes wrong, run," Sun Ran planned.

Lan Xin was very worried. She turned to look at the guards by the city wall and the city gate, asking doubtfully, "This is very dangerous. How do you plan to handle the body?"

"I have a way to get out of it, don't worry," Sun Ran said confidently, handing her the ghost-finding compass. "Just in case, take this."

The ghost-finding compass was a key item to find the saboteur, and it couldn't be taken lightly.

Lan Xin hesitated for a moment but finally took the compass and walked towards the hill. After all, this was just a game, and at worst, the mission would fail. There was no need to be overly dramatic.

Sun Ran watched the three women leave. Once they were hidden, the order at the city gate had already returned to normal.

Two guards stood at the city gate, one on each side.

Sun Ran waited for a while. When one of the guards was busy checking an incoming carriage and his view was blocked, he walked to the other guard, pointed at Jing Ke's body, and said in a low, angry voice, "Sir, this assassin has a grudge against me. He broke into my house the night before last and killed my wife."

The guard didn't understand Sun Ran's intentions and casually replied, "Indeed, he is despicable. But what do you want?"

The hatred on Sun Ran's face deepened, and he lowered his voice, "I want to buy this body and take it to my wife's grave to cut off the assassin's head and avenge her."

"You are a man of deep feelings," the guard admired Sun Ran's actions but then looked troubled, "But the Duke has ordered that any criminal subjected to the impalement punishment must be left outside the city for wild dogs and vultures to eat. I am just a guard and can't... ah!"

He saw Sun Ran pull out a bulging money bag from his chest, with gold coins shining inside, numbering no less than a hundred.

This was a huge sum, and he might not earn this much in five years as a guard.

Sun Ran pleaded, "My wife was my lifelong love. She died, and I have nothing to live for. This is all my savings. If you can give me the body, it's yours."

Money can move the heart. The guard looked around, seeing no one paying attention, and noticed Sun Ran's red eyes and twitching facial muscles, realizing he was dealing with a dangerous man. He thought, with so many bodies outside the city, who would care about the whereabouts of one dead man? It would be better to help and make a profit.

These thoughts flashed through the guard's mind, and he showed a look of indignation, "This assassin is indeed despicable. Take the body. But I can only distract them for a moment. You must act quickly and not be seen."

Sun Ran handed over the money bag and, without waiting for the guard to change his mind, walked towards the assassin's body with a fearless expression.

The guard sighed inwardly, "What a devoted man. There are few like him in this world."

Weighing the gold in his hand, the guard decided to help wholeheartedly. As for the body, he would quietly find a new one to replace it. Who would care about the authenticity of a dead man?

He turned back to the city gate and started calling out to his colleagues, enthusiastically diverting their attention.

On the other side, Sun Ran quickly reached Jing Ke's body and, suppressing his disgust, pulled the body off the iron spike with barbs.

The barbs were vicious, and this pull brought out a long section of intestines, still warm.

Time was pressing, and Sun Ran, suppressing his disgust, stuffed the intestines back into the hole under the body in a hurry and then dragged the body by its clothes out of the city.

After dragging it about twenty meters, Sun Ran felt the body move, and a faint coughing sound came from it.

Jing Ke had been resurrected.

Sun Ran immediately said, "Don't move. Let me drag you. If the guards see, we're in trouble!"

Stealing a body and stealing a living person were different. In both cases, the guards would chase out of the city, but in the former, they might just give up if they didn't catch up, while in the latter, they would pursue relentlessly.

Jing Ke understood his situation, relaxed his body, and let Sun Ran drag him while checking his own body.

After a while, Sun Ran heard a faint voice from behind, "You didn't put my intestines back properly."

Most of the body had been refreshed and repaired by the system upon resurrection, but because Sun Ran had dragged him, the intestines that had been hastily stuffed back were now hanging out, looking like a tail, which was very distressing.

Sun Ran turned his head and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Embarrassed, he suggested, "There's no way now. Why don't you tie them with your belt? This shouldn't affect your movement."

"Okay," Jing Ke showed no intention of pursuing the matter and practically followed Sun Ran's suggestion.

The exposed intestines were quite long, so he didn't use the belt but wrapped them around his waist as a belt.

After doing this, he asked, "Do you have any clean clothes? My clothes are dirty and need to be changed."

He had been suddenly kicked out of the game, losing control of his body, and had soiled his pants, which was very uncomfortable.

Sun Ran gritted his teeth, trying not to think about the disgusting scene, and pinched his nose, saying, "Wait, I didn't bring any clothes, but my companions did, though they are women's clothes."

As a man, he could travel with just one set of clothes, but women were more meticulous, and each of the three women had brought a change of clothes.

"Okay," Jing Ke nodded in agreement. Whether men's or women's clothes, as long as they could be worn, he didn't care. He was an assassin and didn't fuss over such things.

The city gate guards were very dedicated, continuously diverting their colleagues' attention. By the time Sun Ran dragged Jing Ke behind the hill, no one had noticed them.

The three women had been waiting. When they smelled the stench from Jing Ke and saw him with his intestines wrapped around his waist, they all kept their distance.

Among the three women, Lan Xin was the tallest and closest in size to Jing Ke. She offered her change of clothes, which Jing Ke put on.

Wearing women's clothes looked very awkward, but Jing Ke didn't seem to mind. He walked a few steps to get used to his resurrected body, loosened the intestines around his waist a bit, and finally felt satisfied. He then spread his hands and said, "I don't have any weapons."

Ke'er immediately handed him the Original Sin Dagger of the vampire progenitor, "Take this."

She had seen the combat skills of this Bronze Maintainer, which were extremely powerful. This dagger would definitely be of great use in his hands.

Jing Ke took it, waved it casually, and praised, "Good dagger."

Then he put the dagger in his intestine belt.

"Thank you for your help this time," Jing Ke said, but his voice was flat, and his face showed no sincerity.

Ke'er muttered to herself, "Is he a stone face?"

Jing Ke's ears twitched, clearly hearing her, but he ignored it. He looked at Sun Ran and asked, "Where do we go next?"

His keen observation skills allowed him to easily see Sun Ran's leadership.

Sun Ran had already taken back the ghost-finding compass, looked down at it, and pointed to the distant hills, "There's a high-level vampire hiding there. We'll go there."

"How high-level?" Jing Ke asked calmly.

"The vampire you injured yesterday is likely one of his offspring," Sun Ran explained.

"Then he is the saboteur!" Jing Ke said firmly, his cold face finally showing a look of intense killing intent.

He had been severely harmed by this saboteur, almost completely defeated. He couldn't rest until he killed him.

In other words, this was a blood feud!
