Death Beside

Of course, Lu Yuan wouldn't sell the Spirit Crystals.

He still needed them to charge the Evolution Cube and for his cultivation.

After putting away the Spirit Crystals, Lu Yuan entered the dungeon once again.

This time, before Lu Yuan could fill the War Rune Space with materials, the light gate outside had completely recovered.

"Is it time already?"

Lu Yuan killed a Little Stone Man with a single sword strike and picked up the Little Stone Man's Heart from the ground.

With a thought, his vision went dark.

When his vision returned, he was already in his simple little room.

He instinctively looked out the window.

Outside the window was a deep blue sky, and the neon lights that had shone all night had dimmed.

"It's morning? This time I stayed a little longer than last time."

Lu Yuan took out his phone and saw that it was already seven in the morning.

He had entered the Origin Land at nine o'clock, meaning he had stayed inside for ten hours.

Five days?

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, he had stayed in the Origin Land for two more days than yesterday.

The harvest was naturally enormous.

His Gene Tempering had officially reached 20%!

That was a full 10% more than yesterday.

In addition to charging the Evolution Cube with several thousand Spirit Crystals, he now only had 342 Spirit Crystals left.

Besides the Spirit Crystals, there were other gains.

There were about two hundred materials, and in addition, there were four Gene Armaments.

Two sets of leather armor were from the three Cat Person Hunters he killed before, and a pair of daggers were dropped by the Sand Ants.

Another set of leather armor was dropped by the Black Scorpion.

Not only that, but just before coming out, the armor he was wearing had been replaced with the Little Stone Man Battle Armor dropped by the Little Stone Man.

As for the armor he had obtained from the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle, it had been completely shattered after being attacked by thousands of ferocious beasts.

Even the phantom image in the Gene Chain had completely collapsed, and it couldn't be repaired.

Losing a set of armor directly meant losing nearly tens of thousands of yuan, and his heart ached a little.

The new Little Stone Man Battle Armor, like the previous armor, was of Ordinary Quality.

However, compared to the previous armor, the Little Stone Man Battle Armor provided him with even greater defense amplification.

This was probably because the Little Stone Man's own tempering was higher.

For Lu Yuan, it was the only thing that made him happy.

"It's still early, let's check the posts first, and then go to Mad Wolf Materials Shop to sell things. I don't know if the boss accepts Gene Armaments. If not, I might as well list them on the Battle Net."

As long as you are a Gene Warrior, you can open your own shop and sell things.

Lu Yuan was no exception.

But he felt it was a bit troublesome, if he could sell it at the materials shop, that would be the best.

Just as Lu Yuan was thinking about the problem, he just sat down.

He heard a piercing scream from the room next door.

"Feng Wei! Feng Wei, wake up! What's wrong with you, Feng Wei?!"

Lu Yuan was taken aback.

"This voice... the young couple next door?"

He frowned slightly, stood up, and went out.

Lu Yuan came to the young couple's door and knocked.

"Are you okay?"

Hearing the knock, there was a rush of panicked footsteps inside.

Soon, the door opened, and a black-haired woman with an average appearance, wearing a black hollowed-out nightgown, appeared in front of Lu Yuan.

The black-haired woman's face was still tearful, her face full of horror.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly: "Miss Ma, I heard your voice and came to see, are you okay?"

The young couple's male name was Feng Wei, and the female's name was Ma Lingling.

Although he knew their names, Lu Yuan didn't have much interaction with them, just nodded and smiled when he saw them.

Ma Lingling was still in shock. Hearing Lu Yuan's words, she screamed:

"Come and help me! Feng Wei! Feng Wei, he's not breathing!"

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he quickly walked into the room.

The layout of the young couple's room was similar to Lu Yuan's, but the area was slightly larger.

On the small desk, there was also a photo of the young couple, both smiling happily, and a bunch of faded, plastic roses in a small bottle.

At this moment, Feng Wei was lying on the bed in the center of the room, wearing only his underwear, his upper body naked.

His face was pale, his body stiff, and he looked a little scary.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan couldn't help frowning, and quickly stepped forward.

Ma Lingling followed, grabbing Lu Yuan's hand and shaking it constantly, screaming:

"Little brother Lu Yuan, I know you are a high school student, you must have a way to save Feng Wei, right?! Please, save him!"

Lu Yuan checked Feng Wei's heartbeat and breathing, and found that they had stopped, and even his body was a little cold.

He frowned, looking at Ma Lingling, who was grabbing him, and said in a deep voice:

"Miss Ma, calm down, Awei is already dead."

"What?! I don't believe it! Awei said he was going to marry me, how could he die! How could he leave me alone?!"

Ma Lingling's face was pale, and she screamed.

Lu Yuan grabbed her shoulders with one hand, shook her, and said:

"Miss Ma, calm down, have you noticed anything unusual before? Did he originally have any diseases like heart disease?"

How strong was Lu Yuan?

Being shaken by Lu Yuan, Ma Lingling sobered up a bit.

Her pupils gradually focused, she looked at Feng Wei on the bed, covered her mouth, and squatted by the bed, crying silently.

Lu Yuan looked at Ma Lingling crying silently, and felt a little sympathy in his heart.

This young couple seemed to have a good relationship, but he didn't expect that they would be separated by death overnight.

Anyone would find it hard to accept.

After Ma Lingling cried for a while, Lu Yuan said:

"Miss Ma, can you think about what happened before? Did he originally have any diseases?"

Ma Lingling shook her head, wiped her tears, and choked:

"Awei has always been in good health, he doesn't have any diseases."

"In good health?"

Lu Yuan frowned, feeling that things didn't seem so simple.

"Then do you have any guesses, who would want to harm him?"

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ma Lingling thought for a while, and then she seemed to remember something, and her eyes widened:

"When I was sleeping before, Awei made some uncomfortable noises. I glanced at him groggily and saw a blurry black shadow on Awei's body, but Awei's voice stopped quickly, and the black shadow disappeared. I, I thought I saw it wrong, so I fell asleep again."

As she said this, Ma Lingling's face was pale, she looked at Feng Wei on the bed, and her body shrank back silently.

Lu Yuan's heart exploded.

Looking at Feng Wei's livid face, he was probably suffocated to death, plus the black shadow Ma Lingling mentioned.

Could it be that ghost thing?!

No way, it's here again?!

He looked at Ma Lingling with a solemn expression: "Are you sure?"

Ma Lingling's eyes were filled with confusion, she nodded, shook her head, and sobbed with a crying voice:

"I, I was too sleepy at the time, I don't know if I really saw it."

Lu Yuan was silent.

He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Miss Ma, call the police and let them handle it."

Ma Lingling nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay!!"

She hurriedly made the call.

Lu Yuan took a deep look at Feng Wei's body on the bed.

I'm afraid that shadow has appeared again.

Last time it was his room, but he didn't expect it to be right next door this time?

It shouldn't be coming for me, right?

That shadow only seems to appear at night, and he's in the Origin Land at night, so that shadow definitely can't find him, so it dealt with the people next to him?

Lu Yuan suddenly thought of Li Qinghe.

"If that's the case, will that shadow deal with Qinghe Jie then?"

After the Mutation Event, almost everyone distanced themselves from Lu Yuan, and Li Qinghe was the only one who truly cared about him.

Lu Yuan had always regarded Li Qinghe as a caring older sister.

Although it was a matter of his predecessor, having accepted the memories, Lu Yuan empathized and naturally didn't want anything to happen to Li Qinghe.

However, Lu Yuan thought that Li Qinghe was basically outside at night, so the probability of something happening was low.

As long as he told her not to come back at night.

Just as Lu Yuan was thinking this, the door to the room outside opened.

Ma Lingling, who had just called the police, shuddered at the sudden sound of the door opening and grabbed Lu Yuan's clothes with one hand.

Lu Yuan glanced at Ma Lingling:

"Miss Ma, let go, I'll go out and take a look."

Ma Lingling nodded and carefully let go of Lu Yuan's clothes.

Lu Yuan walked out of the room and into the living room, where he saw Li Qinghe with a cigarette in her mouth, closing the door with her foot.

In her hand, she held a bag of steamed buns and two bags of soy milk.

Seeing Lu Yuan, she smiled and said:

"Little Yuan, I knew you definitely hadn't left yet. Have you been busy cultivating lately and not going to class? I bought your favorite meat buns."

As she spoke, she raised the buns in her hand.

Lu Yuan looked at the buns in Li Qinghe's hand, his heart warmed, and he smiled:

"Qinghe Jie, I have money now, I'll pay for the meals from now on."

"What do you mean, kid? Got your wings? Your sister still has the money to treat you to a bun."

Li Qinghe pinched the cigarette in her mouth, blew a smoke ring, and glared at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan smiled helplessly and was about to speak when Li Qinghe suddenly raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised:

"That's not right, Yuan-didi, why are you coming out of that young couple's room?"
