Chengxin Diyilinglingqi suddenly thought of something?
His heart skipped a beat.
He quickly dialed a number.
One minute ago…
Chu Tian exited the virtual pod, his mind flashing through the employee contract information displayed in the system data.
Formal employee contracts like this included real-world addresses.
Signing the contract was equivalent to a real-world employment agreement.
Therefore, the information was very detailed.
Buluo Yu De Tian Shi, as the auction house supervisor, was naturally included.
She had no idea that Chu Tian was her boss. If she did, she would have undoubtedly shown a completely different attitude.
When Chu Tian left the virtual pod, the sky was already faintly brightening, around three something in the morning.
He confirmed a direction and took flight.
The direction was due north…
He no longer needed a mecha, and his flight speed was much faster.
Activating his swift flight form, he resembled a giant eagle in the air, but his speed surpassed that of a fighter jet, breaking the sound barrier right from the start.
Buluo Yu De Tian Shi was fortunate that she was still on the call with Chengxin Diyilinglingqi, asking him to help her find Chu Tian's information, preferably his real-world location.
This would allow her to enact her plan of having someone "have a chat" with Chu Tian.
However, she didn't know that Chu Tian was in the same city.
From Chu Tian's location, it would take forty to fifty minutes to drive to her place in the vast Binhai City, assuming no traffic.
But… it took her less than a minute from leaving the private room to her office and making the call to Chengxin Diyilinglingqi.
Suddenly, a black dot appeared in the sky above her high-rise apartment in an upscale residential complex.
The next moment, this black dot seemed to pinpoint a location and plummeted from the sky.
It stopped in front of a window on a high floor.
Then, like a brute, it smashed into the thick tempered glass.
Bang…
A muffled thud naturally alerted Buluo Yu De Tian Shi.
As she screamed, she saw a man break through the window via the virtual pod's holographic monitoring. However, not a single piece of the shattered glass fell outside the window.
Instead, they formed a circle around the man's body.
As soon as he entered, he seemed to have located her.
She was in her bedroom. The shattered glass, transformed into a torrent, crashed against her bedroom door.
The solid wood door was like nothing against it, blown apart by these glass fragments controlled by some unknown force. The glass and wood splintered into powder, yet there was no sound.
Immediately after, a figure appeared beside her virtual pod.
While she was still screaming from her call with Chengxin Diyilinglingqi, this figure's fist slammed into her virtual pod.
Sizzle…
The virtual pod flashed blue light, the glow of high-voltage electricity.
Chu Tian's eyes flickered. This woman's virtual pod was the same type as the one he used before.
It was a high-strength defensive fortress-class virtual pod.
The high-voltage current was its defensive countermeasure.
Seeing the flickering current, Chu Tian didn't know what would happen if he was electrocuted, but he imagined it wouldn't be pleasant.
He instantly thought, "Skill power doesn't conduct electricity, does it?"
With that thought, a light blade extended from his fist, the skill: Rend, condensed.
Chih…
The light blade touched the virtual pod, making a sound like tearing paper.
The blue arcs of electricity had no effect on Chu Tian.
The light blade stopped halfway, just millimeters from the woman's forehead.
Buluo Yu De Tian Shi was ejected from the game due to the attack on her virtual pod, and at this moment, she opened her eyes.
She happened to see the light blade.
Her body immediately trembled, her eyes wide with horror.
Her silk pajamas were soaked in an instant.
A mist rose from inside the virtual pod.
Her sweat was evaporated by her elevated body temperature.
One could imagine how terrified she was.
However, this woman was quite resilient, not losing control of her bodily functions.
Chu Tian didn't bother with such details. He pulled his arm.
Sla…
The light blade moved, from the top of the woman's head to her feet.
The entire virtual pod was thrown aside.
Buluo Yu De Tian Shi could feel the chilling aura emanating from the light blade.
As it moved past sensitive areas, it caused her a stinging sensation, and a bloodless gash appeared, inflicting intense pain.
That area had never been injured before.
It felt like being scratched by sharp cat claws, and she shivered.
Simultaneously, with the virtual pod being pried open and the system destroyed, the high-voltage electric arcs vanished.
A hand reached in through the crack made by the blade, and with a strong pull, half of the pod door was flung away.
"You…"
Buluo Yu De Tian Shi was utterly terrified.
All of this happened so quickly, less than half a minute from the man breaking through the window.
A large hand grasped her throat and lifted her out.
She had no chance to resist, and could only utter a single word before being silenced.
She was desperate.
Because as she was being lifted out, she saw the man's face.
Her heart sank.
She thought to herself, "How could it be him? Impossible."
She recognized the man, who looked like a killing god, as the same man she had faced at the auction in the Heavenly Dao world.
She had thought he had chickened out when he logged off earlier.
She never expected…
Bang…
Just as she thought this, a tremendous force dragged her to the living room of her apartment.
She was then thrown to the ground with immense force.
Instantly, her bones felt as if they had shattered, making her dizzy and nearly unconscious.
"Speak, who exactly are you?"
Chu Tian looked down at the woman lying on the ground, his chilling voice almost freezing the space.
"I… please spare me… I know I was wrong, I judged you by appearance…"
The woman on the ground trembled as she looked at Chu Tian, and shifted backward.
Chu Tian narrowed his eyes at her demeanor.
"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll tear off both of your wings, no matter how you've hidden them!"
As Chu Tian said this, he waved his hand, and a sofa chair flew over, landing behind him. He then slowly sat down.
"How did you know…"
The woman was shocked, but quickly shut her mouth. She knew she had said the wrong thing.
Because Chu Tian's expression, upon hearing her words, changed to one of confirmation.
"You attacked me…"
The woman was furious, slowly sitting up from her prone position.
She suddenly stood up, but a wave of gravity seemed to descend directly upon her soul.
Her body softened, and she knelt down again.
"I told you to stop talking nonsense, not to stand up! And don't even think about escaping. Do you think you're the only one who can fly? That's how I entered this place!"
Chu Tian saw the woman kneeling under the suppression of his soul power, and his eyes flickered towards the window, immediately guessing her intentions.
He was inwardly amused. Initially, he just wanted to show this woman that there were people beyond her comprehension because she had threatened him.
But the moment he entered, he sensed the woman's soul fluctuations, which were different from ordinary humans.
That fluctuation carried a hint of familiarity, reminding him of the Angel Squad mercenary group he encountered in Antarctica.
Those bird-like creatures with wings had similar soul fluctuations, neither fully human nor fully not, with frequencies that were much slower than humans.
It was as if they had life, and yet no life.
However, this woman lacked the obvious characteristics of those bird-people; she had no wings.
As Chu Tian spoke that sentence, he startled her.
At the same time, coupled with his soul coercion, the woman lost her composure and misspoke, allowing Chu Tian to confirm her identity.
Therefore, Chu Tian was so pleased.
Although he had encountered bird-people before, he had never been this close to a living one.
Now that he was about to confront those bird-people, the more he understood them, the better.
Catching a live one, he was naturally delighted and determined to extract some information from this woman.
He had heard Fahai previously mention the Vatican with great importance, suggesting it was a dangerous place.
If he could learn more from her, it would be beneficial.
"Speak, what are you doing hidden in the human world?"
Chu Tian said calmly, not loosening his soul pressure, but rather increasing it slightly.
More sweat appeared on the woman's forehead.
"Making money!"
She seemed resigned to her fate, answering Chu Tian's question without any delay.
"Making money? Is the Vatican that short of money? Being a mercenary and working undercover in the market…"
Chu Tian frowned, with a hint of sarcasm.
He now possessed a astronomical fortune and truly felt as if he couldn't spend it all, having lost his concept of money.
"Vatican? You… haha, so you think I'm one of those foolish, naive moths from the Vatican…"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Hmm?"
Chu Tian was also taken aback by her reaction.
"Do you have a grudge against those foolish moths?"
This woman seemed to have gained the upper hand. Seeing Chu Tian stunned, her pressure on him lessened.
She felt much more relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.
Her seductive charm stirred something in Chu Tian.
"Hmph!"
Chu Tian's expression turned stern, emitting a snort.
"Pfft…"
The woman's body trembled violently, and a stream of crimson flew from her mouth and nose, scattering like droplets of blood in front of Chu Tian's feet.
"It seems you're not a bird-person. Those bird-people wouldn't use cheap skills like seduction."
Chu Tian looked at the weakened woman on the ground and withdrew his soul pressure.
With that last move, the opponent had sustained a not-insignificant injury. Even if she could run now, she wouldn't be able to.
"You… who exactly are you?" The woman was much more obedient now, her weakness forcing her to face reality.
Chu Tian didn't intend to answer her question. Although she wasn't a bird-person, he was even more curious about her identity.
Just as he was about to press further.
"Brother, answer the phone…"
His phone suddenly rang, the ringtone recorded by Luoluo.
He was startled by the sound.
He took out his phone and glanced at it, his brow furrowing.
"Why is it him?"
However, Chu Tian still answered the call.
"Have you finished collecting the gold coins?"
Chu Tian asked directly.
"Uh… no…"
Chu Tian frowned upon hearing this and was about to ask why he was calling.
The other party hesitated, then continued,
"Great God, you… are you… at Buluo Yu De Tian Shi's house?"
The voice from the headset made Chu Tian freeze, and the slumped woman on the ground also froze.
Before Chu Tian could speak, the woman seemed to have grasped a lifeline.
She leaned forward and shouted, "Seventh Brother, save me!"
