Chapter 29

That is... that red beret bandit, Yazi!

Despite being covered in severe wounds, his appearance was clearly visible!

Ye Yun's gaze slightly lowered, and he saw the 'high-sensitivity floating test tube' lying between the two of them.

The test tube was sealed on both sides with silver metal, and its design was not particularly rare. What made Ye Yun's nearly numb eyes light up was the blood inside the test tube.

He had only glanced at it from a distance before, but now, up close, the impact was even more intense!

It was an irregular, gold and red liquid that floated. If not for the golden glow, it would have looked like a drop of ordinary blood. But with the golden light, this drop of liquid seemed like a drop of fiercely burning flame!

It was an eternal flame, one that seemed capable of consuming everything. Without even touching it, the scattered flame light easily dispelled all the surrounding darkness!

In the presence of this flame, darkness fled, and light remained constant!

It was just a single drop, yet it shone like a blazing sun. It was so light, yet it felt heavy as if it could generate a gravitational pull that would suck everything in. It existed in the form of blood, yet it could vaporize all solids and liquids that approached it!

It floated calmly, yet it burned into Ye Yun's vision. Even just looking at it, the无形的火焰似乎沿着叶云的目光燃烧，并进而将他的全部灵魂引燃！

It belongs to me...

Ye Yun suddenly had this thought.

Unable to resist, he reached out and grabbed the test tube, then dragged his heavy body to sit up, holding the test tube to his chest.

He felt the hot blood inside the test tube with his heart.

"It's you, you... scum, give... give it... back to me..."

On the other side, Yazi struggled to get up. His face, already half-missing, combined with his fierce expression, made Ye Yun feel so nauseous that he almost vomited.

But the usually calm Ye Yun had completely lost his composure at this moment. He also showed a fierce expression, pressed the test tube to his chest, and covered it with his hand: "Dream on!"

"You're asking for death!"

The bandit leader roared, turning his palm into a sword and pointing it at Ye Yun's throat from a distance: "I'll count to three..."

"Count a thousand times, it won't work!" Ye Yun's eyes were already filled with a fanatical look, and he had thrown away all thoughts of factions and alignments.

This seemingly bewitched young man grabbed a broken steel pipe with his right hand and struggled to lift it, pointing its sharp end at the bandit's eyes: "Same as before, if you want to kill me, come on!"

Boom! Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, two more explosions sounded!

The first explosion made the entire building seem to jump, and both of them were thrown up from the ground by about half a meter.

The second explosion came from behind Ye Yun, and the shock wave pushed his body violently toward the bandit leader!

Thud! Thud!

The sounds of blades piercing flesh were easily drowned out by the groans of the damaged building, yet they were clearly heard by both of them.

The steel pipe in Ye Yun's hand pierced completely into the bandit's eye and straight into his brain, and the brain matter, a mix of yellow and white, flowed out from the holes in the pipe, covering Ye Yun.

Yazi clearly had no chance of surviving.

However, this did not seem like something to be happy about, because...

Ye Yun's body trembled as he slowly lowered his head. His left hand, which was protecting the test tube on his chest, had been completely pierced by the bandit's blade-like hand. Also pierced were the broken test tube and... Ye Yun's heart!

His vision went black, and the surroundings seemed to become silent. Ye Yun slowly lost consciousness.

Just before he lost consciousness, a mechanical voice entered his mind.

"You have killed the player Yazi from the same faction!"

"Yazi's faction is Lawful Evil (LE). You have not yet chosen the Evil path, so you can receive full rewards!"

"The system has determined that your current faction alignment is [Neutral Evil—leaning towards Chaotic (NE~~CE)]."

"The system has detected that player Ye Yun has used 'Sakugami's Blood.' Matching in progress..."

"The system has determined that the match rate of player Ye Yun's blood with 'Sakugami's Blood' is 0.363%, confirming that player Ye Yun cannot withstand 'Sakugami's Blood.'"

"The system has determined that the death rate of player Ye Yun is 100%."

"According to Rule T15, the system will use 15,000 game points to cure player Ye Yun's leukemia, but the current debt cannot be repaid, so the effect of clearing leukemia in Rule T14 is revoked."

"Zzz..."

"The system has made a procedural error and is now correcting it..."

"The 'clonal leukemia cells' in player Ye Yun's body have fused with 'Sakugami's Blood.'"

"Matching in progress... The system has determined that the match rate of player Ye Yun's blood with 'Sakugami's Blood' is 87.5%, confirming that player Ye Yun has a high chance of withstanding the transformation by 'Sakugami's Blood.'"

"The system has encountered a paradox, player Ye Yun will not die... Zzz... Continuing to suppress the mutated blood cells... Zzz... Player Ye Yun will die..."

"According to Rule T99, for the system bug discovered by the player, the system will provide full compensation!"

"The system has made its determination! System modification begins!"

"The modification plan is: all mutated blood cells in player Ye Yun's body will be cleared, and a forced transformation will be performed to fully integrate player Ye Yun with 'Sakugami's Blood.'"

The mechanical voice continued to echo in his mind, but Ye Yun had already lost consciousness.

He did not know that the drop of gold-red blood had been pierced into his heart by Yazi and was beginning to assimilate his blood, causing a bug in the game system!

The flame, burning from the inside out, ignited Ye Yun, almost instantly turning him into a flaming figure.

Yazi, who was in front of him, was burned to ashes as soon as Ye Yun turned into a flaming figure.

Inside the second-floor restaurant, the flames were burning.

The flames, covering the entire restaurant, rapidly spread under the continuous explosions and shock waves, forming a sea of fire.

But in the midst of the sea of fire, there was a clear island.

It was where the flaming Ye Yun knelt, and within a three-meter radius around him, no external flames dared to approach.

The flames that had completely destroyed the restaurant surrounded the burning Ye Yun in a circle, showing a human-like reluctance to cross, as if the flames on Ye Yun's body were their king.

The explosions continued, and the evening breeze blew, but the raging sea of fire obediently waited around Ye Yun, their tips flickering in unison, as if paying homage to the burning Ye Yun...

...

"... Last night's Seventh Asian Jewelry Exhibition was completely destroyed."

"... Jewelry worth 27.3 billion was buried in the DiHao Hotel building."

"... According to information obtained from firefighters, last night's terrorist incident has resulted in over 800 casualties..."

"... According to statistics, thirteen celebrities ranked in the top fifty of the Asian Rich List did not escape the fire."

"... So far, no terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for this terrorist attack, and the police suspect it was a premeditated robbery rather than a terrorist incident..."

The night at dawn was not cold.

Although the flames had dissipated, rescue efforts were still ongoing.

Police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, news vans, and luxury vehicles of the victims' families surrounded the building on all four streets. Hundreds of journalists stood outside, continuously reporting or interviewing survivors.

Chen Jierong, the red-haired woman, sat leaning against a police car tire, her hands resting on her knees, and a long cigarette burning between her fingers.

Her clothes and skin were covered in soot and blood, and her originally bright red hair was scorched in many places.

Her eyes, filled with loss and confusion, gazed at the thin smoke rising from the burning cigarette, making her look even more listless.

Just as she was about to cry, two people carrying a stretcher ran past her quickly.

The face on the stretcher made her pause, and she jumped up and grabbed the attendant behind it: "What's going on?"

The attendant, startled by her question, replied, "What's going on?"

Chen Jierong pointed at the charred, unrecognizable body on the stretcher: "I'm asking about him."

The attendant, already annoyed at being called out in the middle of the night to carry bodies, retorted, "Are you crazy? The person is burned to death, what do you want to know?"

Chen Jierong frowned and said, "This person shouldn't have been burned like this. He had 'that' on him."

As she spoke, she quickly traced the charred throat of the body with her fingers.

"Impossible!"

She stepped back, horrified. "His throat is completely burned out. He really was burned to death?"

The attendant sneered, "Miss, are you okay? It's so obvious, what can't you believe?"

Chen Jierong's frown deepened, and her eyes glanced at the dead man's left hand.

On the special six-fingered thumb, a greenish-gray flower skull ring was clearly visible!

(He's dead? But his body...)

(No, that's not the key! Even if he's dead, the mini fire pearl on his body should still be active unless the energy is depleted! But he was indeed burned to death, so...)

Her body trembled, and she grabbed the attendant by the throat, lifting him up and shouted, "Where did you find this body!?"

The attendant, who was over six feet tall and quite muscular, was shocked to be lifted by a slender woman and quickly pointed to the building: "Second-floor restaurant."

Chen Jierong threw him down and ran toward the building's main entrance.

(Only a rare flame like Sakugami's Fire can break the fire pearl! And only Sakugami's Fire can... So, someone must have used Sakugami's Blood!)

(Sakugami's Blood is almost fatal to the body. Even with a blood match rate of over 70%, using it recklessly would cause severe injuries. This person must not have gone far!)

(We've paid such a high price, and you've taken the advantage... Damn it! I will kill you and take back the treasure!)

The red-haired woman, filled with murderous intent, rushed into the building, passing by several teams of attendants carrying stretchers out.

To be continued...

These attendants placed the bodies in ambulances and collectively transported them to the suburban crematorium.

Due to the limited space and the fact that most of the bodies were burned like charcoal and difficult to identify, they were all pushed into the morgue, arranged by number, and waited for unified cremation.
