"Master, hurry up and reply!" Four people surrounded a large screen. If anyone recognized them, they would be shocked to see that one was a woman ranked second on the assassin leaderboard, codenamed Mist. Another was a skinny man ranked seventh, codenamed Ten Thousand Faces. The third was a fat guy ranked ninth, codenamed Clone. The last was a burly man ranked tenth, codenamed Fa.
Their master, Luo Tian, was ranked first. This operation was a conspiracy planned to kill all of them, master and disciples. However, thanks to Luo Tian's vigilance, he quickly discovered it was a trap. Luo Tian single-handedly saved his four disciples but was trapped in the building himself.
"Cough! Cough!"
"Master!"
"You all should go back. Don't worry about me. After all, I've gotten what I deserve. You should all stay away from my old path. You can still wash your hands of blood, but I can't. Remember, if you kill, you must be prepared to be killed..."
After a long time, there was no more sound from the screen.
"Master!"
The four of them shouted in unison, but there was no response from the other side. They knew they couldn't "wash their hands of blood" either. After all, anyone who made it onto the assassin leaderboard, even the last-ranked person, had killed at least a hundred people.
The top ten were even more terrifying. It took Luo Tian twenty years to reach the top spot. Luo Tian had killed over a hundred million people cumulatively!
That's why Luo Tian's codename was Plague.
In the assassin world, Luo Tian was called inhuman. After all, killing a hundred people in a day without being discovered was something that seemed impossible, yet Luo Tian had done it.
"Hah! Huff, huff." Luo Tian gasped for air. The building was filled with smoke, and he couldn't breathe too much or he would die faster.
Ding!
A ding sound reached Luo Tian's ears. Luo Tian was very surprised that someone could approach him without him noticing.
"Hello, Luo Tian. You are dead now."
Luo Tian wasn't surprised and asked, "Are my disciples doing well?"
"Yes, they are doing well."
"But they all died miserably, none of them living past three years after you died." He didn't say the last sentence aloud.
"By the way, where is this place?" Luo Tian was a little confused. It was all white. It didn't look like hell, but Luo Tian believed he would definitely go to hell after death.
"You are very lucky. An irresponsible god randomly picked you to be resurrected, and you also came with a System."
"A System? Like in the novels?"
"Yes, and this System has no restrictions. As long as you make a wish, you can achieve any wish. However, because this power is too overpowered, some of us who are rational have added various restrictions."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"I killed so many people, why did you still choose me? And give me such an overbearing thing?"
"It's nothing. It's because all the people you killed want to give this power to you."
Luo Tian was even more astonished. He had killed so many people, and those people didn't resent him? This didn't seem normal at all.
"But they specified that you can only be reborn in the Douluo Continent, and there are no characters from the original story in this Douluo Continent. It's truly inexplicable."
"Is the Douluo Continent a very dangerous world? Or is there something in the Douluo Continent that I can't handle?" Luo Tian thought to himself, but his thoughts were interrupted.
"Bye-bye."
With that, a beam of light enveloped Luo Tian's entire body. When Luo Tian woke up, he realized someone was holding him.
When Luo Tian came to his senses, he knew he had been reborn as a baby. He didn't know who the woman holding him was, but there was an eighty percent chance she was his mother in this world. Luo Tian wanted to savor the love from his family.
In his original world, Luo Tian was an orphan. When he was bullied, the orphanage director favored other children. At school, the teachers always favored children from wealthy or influential families. So, one day, Luo Tian finally snapped. He grabbed a knife and killed everyone in the school. However, because of his acting skills, no one suspected him. The adults, seeing that he was still a child, overlooked the fact that a person, regardless of age, could do anything.
Bang!
The wooden door at the entrance was pushed open by a man. He rushed in to see the newborn infant.
"My dear, you're back?"
Suddenly, the man pulled out a knife. The knife had seven Soul Rings, all of them yellow.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Chaotic Kill Slash!"
"What are you doing?!" The woman holding Luo Tian instantly unleashed her Martial Soul, a drill. Like the man's knife, the drill also had seven yellow Soul Rings.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Thousand Needles Thorn Stab!"
They fought to a draw, but their wooden house was destroyed into ruins.
Suddenly, a beam of light shone on the woman, and Luo Tian lost his hearing and sight.
"Tang Yutian! What are you doing?!"
"What am I doing? Of course, I'm going to kill her so that Plague can also feel the pain of losing a loved one!"
"He's still young. As long as he hasn't experienced familial love, killing the mother of this life won't cause him any pain!"
"I don't care, I want him dead!"
"He's dead? Then what? As long as he endures the trial of the eighteenth level of hell, he will still be reincarnated!"
"But if we don't kill him when he's young, he has a System. Then we might not be able to defeat him!"
"I say, Tang Yutian, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? The System was given by us. As long as we use some authority, we can make Luo Tian wish he were dead, but unable to die!"
"……"
"Alright, I'll listen to you. BOSS, but Luo Tian must be killed by me."
"You can." The possessed woman said with a smile, but her heart wasn't thinking the same.
"There are over seventy-five million people who want to kill Luo Tian personally, and of course, that includes me. How could someone as insignificant as you possibly kill him? If I hadn't been careless, you really would have killed Luo Tian."
Afterward, the man fainted to the ground, proving Tang Yutian had left.
"The only one who can kill you, Luo Tian, is me."
This person called BOSS, whose identity was unknown, also left. The woman he possessed also collapsed on the ground, with Luo Tian held tightly by her.
After they all left, the room was restored to its original state, and Luo Tian had also recovered. Of course, [BOSS] had very cautiously erased the memories of the three of them.
It was evening.
"Wife, wake up, wake up." The man gently shook the woman's body, wanting to wake her without disturbing Luo Tian.
"Mmm… what is it?" The woman woke up and gently placed Luo Tian on the bed.
"Phew, good thing I didn't wake the child. But why did I fall asleep?" the woman asked, confused.
"Wife, I'm even more baffled. I was just about to kill the Dark Gold Dreadbear when I suddenly woke up at home."
"Never mind that. Husband, have you thought of a name for our son?"
"I hope our son can be upright and outstanding in the future, a talented person. I wanted to name him Luo Tian, but I hope even more that he can grow up healthy and strong, so I've decided to name him Luo Jiankang."
"That's a great name! But what if our son doesn't like it?"
"Then we'll wait for our son to wake up and ask him himself."
