Chapter 1 A Mysterious Family

It hadn't been a short time since his transmigration, and Su Lun had been constantly on guard against being discovered as a replacement.

During this time, he had actually gained some understanding of the Inner City. The conglomerates were like the Fortune 500; many of the major families in the Inner City also had businesses in the Outer City and were widely known.

But strangely, he had never heard of the origins of that "Leijiadi" family.

He originally thought that the original owner of this body must have come from a very low-profile, reclusive family, but he never expected to hear an unbelievable answer from Lena: there was no "Leijiadi" family in the Inner City's high society circles at all!

This made Su Lun very puzzled.

Whether it was the information on his retina or the mysterious wanted order, they both indicated that the original owner's identity was definitely not simple, and definitely shouldn't be from some unknown small family. If it were a reclusive family, others might not have heard of it, but Lena, as the young lady of a top conglomerate, should have heard of it, more or less.

Su Lun thought about it. The appearance of this situation meant that either the "Leijiadi" family used another name in the Inner City, or... the original owner's identity might be even more mysterious.

However, before he could think too much, Su Lun suddenly felt a sensation as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake, instantly causing cold sweat to run down his back.

He immediately realized something and exclaimed in his heart, "It's coming!"

.......

Su Lun finally experienced the terror of being backlashed by the Black Scythe for the first time, a feeling that made his hair stand on end.

He only felt a slight chill in his chest, as if an invisible Grim Reaper had quietly cut across his body with an incomparably sharp weapon. Before he could feel any pain, he suddenly saw hot blood spurting out of his chest. In an instant, his skin was torn open, revealing a foot-long bloody gash that went through his chest and abdomen, exposing his internal organs.

Lena, who was next to him, was carefully confirming the surgical instruments for the third time when she was caught off guard and splattered with blood all over her face.

Because she had expected it, she only panicked slightly when she saw the bizarre wound on Su Lun's chest, and then quickly pinched a warlock seal to activate the "Life Conversion Array."

The moment the hexagram array lit up with a green glow, Su Lun felt a surge of vitality being injected into his body.

Looking at the exaggerated wound that appeared on his chest, Su Lun was not surprised, but delighted.

Compared to cutting off his head or cutting his neck... the chest was the least fatal location. Moreover, although the wound was deep, it just happened to avoid his heart, and it didn't go down another two inches to cut into the most unspeakable area.

It could be considered extremely lucky.

The following operation became thrilling but not dangerous.

Although the environment of this crude sewer was harsh, it had the best emergency medical equipment from the Black Tower Academy, as well as Lena, an intern doctor with full theoretical knowledge.

Su Lun didn't even bat an eyelid at this kind of non-fatal wound.

The only unexpected episode was probably a small mistake caused by Lena's nervousness.

"Ah... Mr. Su Lun, I'm sorry, I... I'm treating an injured person alone for the first time, and my hands are a little shaky..."

"It's okay. If one try doesn't work, just poke a few more needles."

"I'm very sorry, please bear with me!"

"By the way, did you give me anesthesia?"

"Ah... right... I'm sorry! I was too nervous and forgot."

"Forget it, just sew it up like this... If there's a situation, anesthesia will affect my shooting."

"..."

Su Lun could occasionally use his crude medical knowledge to direct Lena, comforting this intern doctor who was full of guilt because of her small mistakes.

Perhaps because of Su Lun's indifference, Lena gradually found the feeling of being a doctor. After getting into the zone, the second half of the operation went extremely smoothly.

Sure enough, this girl's perfect score on the exam wasn't obtained through connections, but through her own strength.

The second half of the operation was textbook perfect.

Half an hour later, the operation was completed.

After sewing up the wound, Lena originally wanted to give Su Lun a bottle of "Advanced Restoration Potion" to accelerate wound healing.

But Su Lun stopped her.

Now, even the shirt on Lena's body belonged to Su Lun, and the potion naturally belonged to him as well.

Su Lun didn't have chaonengli (superpowers/money-making ability); a bottle of intermediate potion was enough for this kind of injury.

Advanced potions were for saving his life in more critical moments; it would be a waste and make his heart ache.

The backlash of the sealed object was thrilling but not dangerous, and the big stone in Su Lun's heart fell.

He didn't stay in the sewer for long. After his wound had healed slightly, he led Lena along the route map extracted from the memory of the Ghost-Faced Spider, going all the way up.

.......

There had been many missing person cases on Green Street before. He didn't know what monsters were responsible before, but now Su Lun knew that it was the Ghost-Faced Spiders in the sewer, a kind of mutated monster that could charm people's minds.

The two of them followed the route the spiders used to go to the surface to hunt for food, and found the path to the surface.

After easily solving a few mutated monsters that didn't have eyes, they finally saw the lights of the street through the cracks in the sewer.

With a "clang," the manhole cover was pushed open from below.

Su Lun climbed up and then pulled out Miss Lena, who was covered in dirt.

The surrounding area was full of colorful lights and extravagant displays, and dazzling neon lights illuminated the entire district.

Su Lun looked at her tightly furrowed brows, which finally relaxed. He was very familiar with the surrounding environment; it was a corner of Green Street.

They were finally safe.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

This was Lena's first time in this chaotic and dirty entertainment district in the Outer City. She looked timid and a little scared, but couldn't help but peek around curiously. Her beautiful, clear black eyes blinked, and the reflections of everything in front of her flickered: swaying drunkards, scantily clad girls soliciting customers for brothels, gangsters chasing and hacking people... everything was new.

Su Lun was familiar with almost every corner of Green Street. He found a dark alley and hid the conspicuous scythe first.

Lena waited quietly and didn't even intend to peek.

But when she saw Su Lun climb down from the drainpipe on the roof, and he seemed ready to lead her into the street, her heart resisted.

She bit her lip and weakly suggested, "Um... Mr. Su Lun, can I find a place to take a bath first?"

This Green Bean Princess finally couldn't stand the stench on her body. With no more life-threatening crises, the first thing she thought of was taking a bath.

Su Lun glanced at her, then pointed to the "Musketeer Inn" with pink neon lights not far away, as if asking: Is that okay?

Lena looked at the pink lights that were obviously suggestive, bit her lip, and nodded.

.......

Ten minutes later, the door to Room 304 of the "Musketeer Inn" was knocked on.

Su Lun had already seen the Black Panther motorcycle downstairs by the window, knew who was coming, and opened the door.

Qiantiao walked in quickly. Looking at Su Lun, her tightly locked brows relaxed slightly.

Previously, when she had just received the news that the trial team had been attacked, not only had the higher-ups of the Cross Society exploded, but even the Inner City had dispatched a large number of top professionals to rush over, and they had already gone to the underground cave to search. According to the surviving students, the accident had happened several hours ago. The news had been delayed for so long, and everyone thought that Lena was probably already dead...

But suddenly receiving Su Lun's message, Qiantiao instantly felt an overwhelming joy like winning big at the casino!

They actually survived?

How did they do it?

With an unbelievable mood, Qiantiao rode her motorcycle all the way here at lightning speed. Now that she saw a living person appearing in front of her, the heart hanging in her chest finally fell.

She looked around the room. There was no one else besides Su Lun.

But there was the sound of rushing water from the bathroom, and it sounded like someone was showering.

Su Lun shrugged, seeing Qiantiao cast a suspicious look.

Qiantiao was slightly stunned.

What's the situation? Weren't they attacked?... Why are they taking a shower?

At this time, the bathroom door happened to open, and a head popped out. Because she was washing her hair, the wet hair made it difficult for Lena to open her eyes. She hugged her chest with one hand, closed her eyes, and said resentfully, "Mr. Su Lun, why is the hot water in this hotel hot and cold?"

Su Lun replied faintly, "Eighty yuan for a hotel, it's good enough to have hot water. The Outer City is just like this..."

"Oh."

Lena was taught a lesson and was very docile.

She hadn't noticed that there was another person in the room, and continued, "Could you please bring me my clothes? This bathroom is too small, there's not even a changing room..."

Su Lun: "..."

Hearing this, Qiantiao's face suddenly became very strange.

She had come with an explosive mentality, ready to fight, but she didn't see the enemy, but saw this scene instead.

What... is this situation?

Seeing Qiantiao's suspicious expression again, Su Lun spread his hands and explained, "We just came out of the sewer. This young lady thought it was too dirty, so she came to take a shower first."

Thinking it was Su Lun, the fire of gossip in Qiantiao's eyes instantly dissipated.

She naturally trusted the person she had chosen.

At this time, hearing Su Lun talking to someone else, a small, curious head popped out of the bathroom door again.

Lena rubbed her eyes, saw Qiantiao, and suddenly a look of joy appeared on her face: "Auntie!"

After surviving a desperate situation and seeing a loved one, the girl was so excited that she almost forgot that she was still naked and almost ran out like that.

Qiantiao was finally relieved to see that this young lady was safe and sound.

.......

"Ah... Auntie Qiantiao, will your clothes be too loose if I wear them? They seem a little too revealing..."

"Then what should I do?"

"I... I... Can you ask Mr. Su Lun to lend me another piece of clothing?"

"Another?"

"..."

After taking a shower, Miss Lena finally came back to life.

Qiantiao looked at Lena wearing a men's shirt, with long bare legs and wet hair, and supported her forehead: This isn't revealing?

However, she didn't care.

She was just very puzzled. How did these two guys get so familiar in such a short period of time?

There were no outsiders in the room, so the three of them began to "rehearse their story."

Su Lun briefly described what happened in the underground cave.

Everyone before killing Jack knew, so he told the truth.

After killing Jack, he glossed over the details.

He didn't say that he met any Daniel, or any second-order assassins, let alone the Spider Queen and the sealed object... he minimized his role in the incident as much as possible.

He only said that he was looking for a way out and happened to run into the "lost young lady" Lena, so he led her out. As for how she got rid of the trapdoor spiders, that was something Lena had to explain herself.

Lena was also very sensible and nodded in cooperation throughout, only saying one sentence: "Yes, that's right, that's exactly what Mr. Su Lun said!"

When encountering vague places, she selectively lost her memory: "Ah... I was too nervous, I forgot."

Qiantiao listened to this story full of loopholes, her face full of helplessness.

Although she guessed that things might not be that simple, she didn't dig to the bottom.

The result was more important than the process.

This young lady was still alive, which was the greatest luck.

No matter what Su Lun did in the process, bringing Lena out of the underground cave alive made him the greatest hero.

After rehearsing their story, Qiantiao gave Su Lun a definite answer. This incident would be handled by her and the higher-ups of the Cross Society. Su Lun, as a guide, would be an insignificant "invisible man."

This was the result Su Lun wanted.

The scythe was saved, the zhizhuang (implant equipment) materials were also available, and the future was promising.

He didn't want to change his identity now...
