Chapter 3 Extraordinary Ones
Su Wan was surprised that Lin Yu would turn around and question her, and she was immediately embarrassed and annoyed.
He was calling her "darling" just a moment ago, but now he's calling her "Miss Su."
What a heartless, despicable man!
"Don't worry, Ms. Su, this is for better cooperation in the future."
Lin Yu smiled slightly and put away the boning knife.
But Su Wan was clearly still somewhat startled; her expression changed several times before she angrily punched Lin Yu's chest with her hand.
"You bastard! You weren't like this when we were in bed..."
Su Wan's chest heaved slightly, but she wasn't really angry and quickly regained her composure.
He turned and walked toward the unconscious maid.
"Her name is A Xiang." Su Wan crouched down and searched the maid's collar, revealing a metal badge engraved with twisted runes:
"A member of the seventh squad of Chen Tianxiong's private bodyguard team, a 'Shadow Raider' of Sequence 9."
An extraordinary individual who has incorporated low-level shadow-like bizarre artifacts is skilled in assassination and interrogation.
Lin Yu's gaze fell on the badge.
Sequence 9.
In this post-apocalyptic world, humanity has forged a new path from the gray fog and ruins. It's not about martial arts or cultivating immortality, but about "embracing."
It contains bizarre artifacts—items imbued with the power of rules, unearthed from catastrophic caverns, ancient ruins, and even certain mutated creatures.
By embracing success, one can become an "extraordinary person" and gain abilities beyond those of ordinary people.
The higher the quality of the container and the more compatible the items are, the higher the "sequence" can be climbed.
Starting from Sequence 9, each advancement requires accommodating higher-level bizarre items, while also bearing a greater risk of backlash.
Those at Sequence 7 and above are already among the best.
As for those above Sequence 4... they are all guardians of various protected areas, legendary beings.
Chen Tianxiong was able to maintain his position as the underground emperor of Jiangcheng because of the strange item he possessed, the "Crimson Dragon Crystal," which was a Sequence 6 item.
And the dozen or so Sequence 8 and Sequence 9 extraordinary individuals he had recruited.
"Chen Tianxiong sent her here not just to keep an eye on her, right?" Lin Yu asked.
"And there's the Love-Devouring Sword." Su Wan stood up, walked to the dressing table, and took out a slender sword from a hidden compartment.
The sword is a deep blue, almost transparent, as if it were polished from the spine of some kind of creature.
There was a dented blood groove on the hilt of the sword, but it was empty at the moment.
"A mid-tier, bizarre item." Su Wan stroked the sword, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"I obtained the refining method from the black market, and it took me half a year to complete. Only the last step is needed: a sacrifice of the heart's blood of a 'lover' with whom I have had intercourse, in order to fully activate it."
She looked at Lin Yu.
"Once activated, I will be able to use it to formally become an extraordinary being and enter Sequence 8."
Even... if you're lucky, you might directly reach the threshold of Sequence 7.
Lin Yu understood.
"So I am the sacrifice you chose."
"Yes." Su Wan admitted it readily.
"I need a clean lover, preferably someone from the police station, so that it will be more troublesome for Chen Tianxiong to investigate."
You are a Level 3 agent, with a simple background and a clean record; you are the perfect candidate.
She paused, then added, "Besides, you're good-looking too, so I'm not at a disadvantage."
Lin Yu smiled.
This woman is quite frank.
"And now? You still want my heart's blood?"
Su Wan remained silent for a few seconds.
"If you had died just now, I would have used you. But you survived, and... you're more useful than I thought."
She walked back to Lin Yu and looked up at him.
At over 1.7 meters tall, he could only barely reach Lin Yu by standing on tiptoe.
"Do you know? The way you subdued Ah Xiang just now wasn't something a Level 3 agent should do."
Ah Xiang is a Sequence 9 Shadow Striker. Even though her eyes were blinded by chili powder, her body's instinctive reactions were still there.
But you subdued her in one move.
Su Wan's eyes sharpened:
"Now it's my turn to ask you."
"Hmph, Lin Yu, just who are you?"
Su Wan pouted as she spoke, as if she were retaliating against Lin Yu's earlier questioning.
Lin Yu reached out and cupped Su Wan's chin, gently stroking it:
"It's clearly written in the file."
"A Level 3 agent, and suffering from amnesia? But files can be forged," Su Wan said.
"But I can hold off on asking for now, because we have a common enemy."
She put the Love-Devouring Sword back into its hidden compartment.
"I want to work with you."
"How do we cooperate?"
"Let's steal the Crimson Dragon Crystal together," Su Wan said.
"Chen Tianxiong was able to run rampant in Jiangcheng because of that Sequence 6 item."
Without the Crimson Dragon Crystal, his strength would drop back to Sequence 7, or even Sequence 8.
Only then will we have a chance to kill him.
"Why did you kill him?" Lin Yu asked tentatively, "You were his mistress."
Su Wan's eyes instantly turned cold, and she gritted her teeth as she said:
"Because my sister went missing at the orphanage in the south of the city. I investigated for a long time, and I suspect... Chen Tianxiong kidnapped her."
"For practicing martial arts?"
"Used for 'sacrifice'." Su Wan's voice trembled:
"Chen Tianxiong has more than just the Crimson Dragon Crystal. He also possesses something even more sinister."
The "Blood Sacrifice Slab" was unearthed from the Cataclysmic Cavern.
The inscription describes a forbidden ritual, a sacrifice of young girls' flesh and soul, which can temporarily increase the success rate of containing bizarre items, or... nurture existing items and delay the backlash.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"These past few days, I've been having nightmares every night. I dream that Xiaoya is tied to a stone slab, and that her blood flows down those twisted runes. I have to save her!"
If Xiaoya dies, I will avenge her!
Lin Yu looked at Su Wan's reddened eyes.
This doesn't look like acting.
"You want to trade your sister for the Crimson Dragon Crystal?"
"The Crimson Dragon Crystal is just a bargaining chip." Su Wan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes:
"A man like Chen Tianxiong, once his power is weakened, will have countless enemies who want him dead."
The plan is crazy.
But in this world, madness is often the only way to survive.
"Okay, I'll help you."
Su Wan was stunned.
"You...you just agreed like that?"
Lin Yu smiled faintly:
"Chen Tianxiong will have doubts sooner or later."
At that time, how will I, an ordinary person who has not stored any strange items, fight against a Sequence 6 Extraordinary?
We're all in this together, so let's give it our all.
Su Wan stared at Lin Yu for a few seconds, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So what do we do now?" She kicked Ah Xiang on the ground.
"Chen Tianxiong will find out soon that she's missing."
"So we have to stage the scene," Lin Yu said, "to make Chen Tianxiong believe that Ah Xiang was killed by his enemies and that it has nothing to do with you."
"How do I do it?"
