Chapter 180 – Dark Boundless Realm Part 35

Augus and Remover 4 were acquainted; he pulled Remover 4 into his personal section.

Kui Xin’s drowsiness immediately dissipated.

Before she killed Remover 4, she had collected his blood, meaning she only needed to read his body memories to know the relationship between him and Augus.

Were they simply interacting on the forum or did they actually meet in the Second World?

Considering “Blood Spirit” could only access body memories, Kui Xin couldn’t learn about Remover 4’s experiences within the Second World. However, she thought this fine, since she could still gain valuable information from his memories of the First World alone.

Using Blood Spirit caused her brain to fuse with countless fragments of memory, causing intense discomfort. Given her current mental state wasn’t great, she decided to adjust before retrieving those memories fully.

He Kangshi called Kui Xin through voice communication using his usual method. He spoke directly to her while she typed out instructions to him.

Following Kui Xin’s orders, He Kangshi drafted a message for Augus: “Remover 4 is unbelievably foolish.”

Augus replied two or three minutes later: “You finally responded, Mawei.”

He Kangshi ignored the nickname.

“You told me your personal section would have at least some decency, but unfortunately, Remover 4 has none,” He Kangshi sent a message, suddenly realizing how combative these words were, with a hint of arrogance and provocation.

“You’re also a member of my personal section,” Augus said casually. “Any Remover can join my personal section; you’re aware of that, aren’t you? So, do I understand correctly that Remover 4’s foolishness displeases you? We’ve got a huge gap between us and the players, something you should be aware of.”

He Kangshi: “Did you originally expect a lot from Remover 4? I’m starting to doubt your judgment.”

Augus: “I must say, it was Remover 4’s arrogance and confidence that caught my attention, albeit sadly he lacked substantial ability. He wanted to go to Tonglin City, and when he said this, I even encouraged him, hoping to see sparks between you two.”

Kui Xin picked up the key point—Augus indeed persuaded Remover 4 to go to Tonglin City!

She realized one thing: Augus took their bet and competition very seriously; he was playing earnestly, not joking. He considered these matters with high priority.

It wasn’t just talk; he intended to engage in a kill competition with Remover 233, aiming to find and kill them first.

With the advantage of time, Augus confirmed her exact location through Remover 4.

As an excellent senior player, Augus probably had the habit of gathering intelligence through forums. If he monitored such analysis, he might have guessed her whereabouts in Tonglin City.

Before Remover 233 killed Remover 4, everyone assumed she was in Tonglin City, but no one could confirm. With Remover 4 appearing, Augus knew Remover 4 went to Tonglin City and died, so he identified her place based on the forum announcement, confirming she was definitely in Tonglin City.

“I thank you for giving me such a gift. I really like Remover 4’s abilities.”

“It’s no big deal, just a small gesture,” Augus replied. “But what interests me more is your actions in Tonglin City a few hours ago. You didn’t kill any players; that must’ve been easy, Mawei.”

“This is something Remover 4 did, despite his foolishness, which disrupted my plan a bit.”

Augus: “Oh? I thought you resisted the xenomorph army like the forum players analyzed.”

Kui Xin’s eyebrows twitched slightly; she realized Augus was probing her stance.

What about Augus’ stance? His attitude toward the Dark Realm’s arrival was significant. If he was indifferent and solely focused on killing players, he might lean more toward being a deity.

“So, you seem glad about the Dark Realm’s arrival?”

Augus answered candidly: “Indeed.”

Kui Xin’s eyes flashed, lost in thought.

“That means you welcome me to Tonglin City,” she declared, burning with the desire to confront him. “I want to meet you, Augus.”

She could eliminate him if their encounter was real. The First World doesn’t need troublemakers.

“I’d love to meet you too, but I’m busy right now,” Augus responded courteously. “Once things calm down, I’ll meet you. You’ll be waiting for me, right?”

“Of course.” This short reply was conclusive.

Afterward, Augus stopped sending messages.

He Kangshi looked over the chat records, scrutinizing them meticulously. The more he read, the paler his face became, with cold sweat breaking out all over.

The exchanges between Black Snake and Augus seemed polite, but every word bore lethal intent. Augus aimed to pin down Remover 233’s location, and Black Snake was luring him to Tonglin City to eliminate him.

They established a bloody wager, putting their lives in the balance.

He Kangshi checked the forum, scanning posts with hundreds of replies carefully. He pieced together the unfolding events.

Reflecting on Augus persuading Remover 4 to Tonglin City, He Kangshi felt underestimated him. Even if crazy, Augus was shrewd and rational.

He wiped off his cold sweat, realizing Black Snake was serious. In prior exchanges, Black Snake toyed with Augus, delaying the bets. But now, Black Snake revealed his true intentions…

Future encounters between Black Snake and Augus might turn more confrontational. Previously, He Kangshi thought they might have long-standing rivalries, but now believed they might rush to meet offline…

He Kangshi pondered for a long time, unable to resist curiosity: “Boss, what if Augus truly comes to Tonglin City?”

Soon, he received the reply: “Eliminate him.”

Instantly assured, He Kangshi agreed.

Kui Xin slept until two o’clock in the afternoon due to hunger, dragging herself out of bed to make some food.

It was Saturday, so she didn’t need to teach Su Rong.

Woken up by important notifications, she read about the ongoing dangers in the Old Industrial Zone, advising residents not to enter.

On the forum, nothing particularly eventful happened; discussion still revolved around the Dark Realm landing and kill notices. Someone still shared intelligence, educating others about the Second World.

Compared to the chaos in Section One, Section Two surged with new Batch One and Batch Two players. This week marked the return of Batch One, who posted cries of regret. Batch Two, however, thrived under guidance, now nine out of ten players learning and analyzing Second World knowledge.

Her phone vibrated.

Su Rong: “I just woke up and combined breakfast and lunch! Xinxin Jie, I tried summoning my Shadow Double and found it seemed stronger! It runs faster and forms more robust solidification. Practicing extraordinary abilities seems to enhance them! Should I train with my Shadow Double during weightlifting?”

“Why don’t you try it?” Kui Xin suggested.

Kui Xin refrained from offering more advice because her abilities progressed mainly in skill usage rather than power.

After refueling and feeling restored, Kui Xin grabbed Remover 4’s blood from the fridge and licked it.

A bloody taste filled her mouth as Blood Spirit was activated, fragments of Remover 4’s memories assaulting her…

Remover 4’s real name was Wu Yingzhuo, born into an affluent family. His parents were intellectuals, though he showed average academic performance but clear behavioral flaws—temperamental and rebellious. Minor criticisms triggered intense reactions.

His rebellion led to grades plummeting. His parents exhausted effort trying to correct him but failed. On his eighteenth birthday, they revealed he wasn’t their biological son—his mother died from cancer, father imprisoned for robbery, thus he was raised at an orphanage. They adopted him.

Upon learning this, Wu Yingzhuo suffered a severe blow and fled to Jinshui city to fend for himself.

Selected by the game, he became a player and a Remover. His Second World memories vanished. Back in the First World, he engaged in the forum, posting provocative content inciting player conflict. In his first week, he unlocked extraordinary abilities and subdued street hooligans with them.

In his latest return, he eagerly experimented and gained “Damage Synchronization.”

Last week, he noticed Recruiting Post by Remover 777 and contacted them immediately.

After brief interaction with Augus, he was brought into “Seven.”

This time, Augus pushed him further: “Isn’t it a good chance? Dark Realm Landing draws many players, a golden opportunity for self-improvement.”
