Chapter 29 - 29 Chapter 29: Life Stealing, Stealing Heaven (2/2)
although this technique didn’t increase his strength, it might play an unexpected role in certain situations.
for instance, taking the form of a wolf demon!
a bold idea rose in su nan’s heart.
perhaps, he could use the form of a wolf demon to slip out of the prison.
then he thought about life wheel scripture’s stealing heaven ability, which could also make him take the form of someone else.
don’t these two abilities overlap?
“no, boneshifting just changes my outward appearance. in essence, i am still me; there’s no real transformation.”
“stealing heaven is different. it can make me become another person on the level of destiny. it’s on a whole other level.”
“if these two abilities are combined, wouldn’t i be able to perfectly impersonate anyone?”
there was a gleam in su nan’s eyes.
if things really were as he supposed, he might be able to play the game under a different identity.
a moment later.
he quit the game.
the time was now nine o’clock, three hours from the public beta test of the game.
he was getting excited.
after this public beta test, a survival trial lasting 15 days would begin.
most importantly, rankings would be established based on ream; he wondered where he would fall.
climbing out from the game warehouse, su nan was about to open the game forum to check on the status of other players.
suddenly, he noticed a red glow emerging in the distant night sky outside the window.
the red light illuminated the night sky and could be seen from a great distance, an effect beyond what neon lights could achieve.
“what’s going on over there?” su nan felt curious and approached the window to look into the distance.
his apartment was on the 23rd floor with an excellent view. with the added bonus of the demon sutra, he could see things even five or six kilometers away.
in his line of sight, the source of the red light was a building on the ground, which, su nan remembered, should be a large shopping mall.
the red light flickered, and su nan could faintly hear the continuous sound of sirens—it was a fire truck’s alarm.
“it’s a fire!”
su nan’s eyebrows shot up as he thought of the fires from the previous two nights.
with this one, it was the third in a row.
three fires in three days, and all relatively close by—what are the odds?
“it must be a player,” su nan concluded.
at the same time, a sense of crisis emerged in his heart. once someone obtained power, they often couldn’t resist their desires. the player causing chaos now was the first, but definitely wouldn’t be the last.
as players gradually mastered the power in the game, the rules of this world were bound to be rewritten.
chaos was about to arrive!
in such an era, to live well, one must possess power beyond that of an ordinary person.
he had no plans to meddle in other people’s affairs. he had no intention of maintaining social peace.
besides, even if he wanted to, it wouldn’t come to him. after three consecutive fires, the officials, no matter how slow they were, must have understood by now.
that player was probably already being watched by the authorities.
without giving it another thought, he turned to leave the window.
suddenly, something caught the corner of his eye, and he let out a surprised noise.
“huh? what’s that over there?”
immediately, he activated the demon sutra again, greatly enhancing his vision and looking towards the area he had just spotted from the corner of his eye.
it was a place about two kilometers away from him, a large area without any lights, shrouded in darkness.
that was a vast protective forest, with a railway line going through the middle, and a small river on one side of the forest.
just a moment ago, he was sure he saw a fireball suddenly rising in the protective forest.
the fireball appeared abruptly, and disappeared just as quickly. it all happened in the blink of an eye.
it was only because his apartment was on a higher floor that he could see this event from a wide perspective. otherwise, he wouldn’t have seen it.
su nan was certain that the fireball that had just erupted was not something an ordinary person could create.
nine out of ten times, it was that law-controlling class martial artist.
“interesting,” a hint of intrigue flashed in su nan’s eyes.
he originally didn’t plan to meddle, but now that he had discovered this player, he decided to check it out.
