[Sin Cleansing Successful!] [Target: Ghost Call (D-Class)] [Sin Points: 150] [Cleansing Rating: S (Logical Domination, Interdimensional Strike, Perfect Counter-Kill)] [Double Rewards Triggered, Calculating Rewards...] [Final Cleansing Points Obtained: 300 Points.] [Extracting Target Core Concept... Extraction Successful!] [Legendary Armament Obtained: Death Notice (D-Class)]
The lingering echoes of gunfire hadn't yet faded when the cold system notification sounded like a victory anthem in Qin Feng's mind.
Qin Feng abruptly looked down at his left wrist.
A dark gray tattoo resembling an old-fashioned rotary dial telephone was branded there, mirroring the scissor tattoo on his right arm.
A chilling and domineering sense of power flowed quietly from the tattoo.
[Legendary Armament: Death Notice]
[Category: Conceptual Armament / Rule System]
[Ability: You can issue a "Death Notice" to any target you lock onto. Once issued, reality will twist and deviate in the direction of your notice.]
[Current Level: D (Growable)]
[Note: What is spoken becomes law, this is not a joke. But remember, the backlash of karma is just as real.]
"Rule system..." Qin Feng's eyelids twitched violently, his heart skipping half a beat.
This ability was unreasonably overbearing!
It didn't require close combat like the [Scissors of Truth], nor did it need a physical medium like a firearm.
This was a higher-dimensional killing method, directly altering "rules" and killing without a trace!
A single whisper could determine life or death.
"Good stuff!" Qin Feng's lips couldn't help but curl upwards.
He glanced at the two students lying unconscious in the corner, a wisp of ominous death energy still lingering above their heads.
While taking out his phone to dial the "Yellow Springs" customer service hotline, he flicked his finger.
Two almost imperceptible streams of internal energy entered the students' brows. The death energy dissolved instantly, as if meeting the scorching sun.
"Hello, customer service? This is Raven." Qin Feng's voice was concise and clear when the call connected. "Donghai University Town, Juyuan Building 7, Unit 502. Target eliminated. Two students on site require memory processing."
"Understood, Mr. Raven! The processing team has been dispatched and will arrive within fifteen minutes. Thank you for your hard work!" The customer service representative's voice on the other end was filled with reverence.
After hanging up, Qin Feng put his pistol and shell casings back into his backpack, turned, and disappeared into the darkness, leaving no trace behind.
Back in his bright and clean new home, Qin Feng took a shower and immediately collapsed onto the soft bed, eagerly bringing up the system panel.
[Host: Qin Feng]
[Cleansing Points: 310]
[Spiritual Sense Level: Form Observation Realm (Early Stage)]
[Legendary Armaments: Scissors of Truth (E-Class), Gluttony Stomach (D-Class), Death Notice (D-Class)]
[Acquired Abilities: Item Affinity (Passive)]
Looking at the substantial 310 points, Qin Feng didn't hesitate: "System, upgrade [Scissors of Truth]!"
[Confirming consumption of 250 Cleansing Points to upgrade [Scissors of Truth] to D-Class?]
"Confirm!"
[Exchange Successful! Remaining Cleansing Points: 60 Points.]
[Legendary Armament Reinforcing...]
BOOM!
A torrent of heat, so intense it felt like it could melt his soul, erupted from the tattoo on his right arm. The ancient scissor tattoo lit up with a blinding silver light, as if being reforged by a divine craftsman in the heart of a star!
Qin Feng could feel the "concept" of the scissors being elevated. It no longer just severed "illusions," but began to touch deeper "laws"!
With a thought, a brand-new pair of scissors materialized.
Its entire body was as dark and dull as the night sky, and along the edges of its blades, a sliver of silver light resembled a rift tearing through space, sending shivers down one's spine.
[Legendary Armament: Scissors of Truth (D-Class)]
[Ability: Sever illusions, directly reach reality. Deals high true damage to spirits, illusions, and rule-based barriers.]
[New Trait: [Law Severing] -- Every attack you make has a chance to directly sever rule-based enhancement effects on the target!]
"Law Severing!" Qin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
This means that if he encountered another anomalous event like the "Human Meat Buns" with special defense rules, he wouldn't even need to go through the usual process; one snip of the scissors would directly cripple its "power"!
He immediately opened the exchange shop in the "Yellow Springs" app, his gaze fixed on the [Golden Light Incantation] he'd been longing for.
[Price: 180 Contribution Points.]
"Still 100 points short..." Qin Feng frowned slightly, looking at the meager 80 Contribution Points in his account.
"Grinding D-Class missions solo is still too slow," a sharp glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes. "It's like playing a game; how can you reach max level by just fighting mobs? It's time to take on elite monsters, or even team up to fight bosses!"
Without further hesitation, he dialed Shen Bingyue's number.
"Hello, Shen Bingyue." A voice, as crisp and cool as ever, came from the other end of the line.
"It's me, Qin Feng." Qin Feng got straight to the point, "I want to take on a C-Class mission."
A three-second silence followed on the other end, as if processing the information. "A C-Class mission? Are you crazy? You should gain more experience in E-Class missions first..."
"I've achieved Form Observation," Qin Feng interrupted her calmly.
"Even if you've achieved Form Observation, you... What?!" Shen Bingyue's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and shock. "You... you've reached the Form Observation Realm?!"
Absurd! This is too absurd! How could this be in just a few days?!
Shen Bingyue took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the tempest in her heart. She instantly recalled how Judge Cui had suddenly asked her for Qin Feng's information earlier.
So that's it!
She quickly organized her thoughts and her tone returned to calm, but with a hint of gravity. "C-Class anomalous events usually have a stable 'domain,' and their mortality rate is more than three times that of D-Class. I don't recommend you..."
"I only have one question," Qin Feng interrupted her again, his tone calm yet sharp. "In C-Class missions, can multiple D-Class or E-Class anomalous events appear simultaneously?"
Shen Bingyue paused again. She finally understood Qin Feng's intention.
"Yes, some C-Class events are essentially 'nests.' For example, 'The Vanishing Bus'; the bus itself is the C-Class core, and the 'passengers' on the bus could all be independent lower-level anomalous events."
"Understood." Qin Feng's lips curved as he was about to hang up.
"Wait." Shen Bingyue suddenly spoke. "Judge Cui thinks highly of you. He's secured an opportunity for you."
"Oh?"
"In three days, there's a cleanup mission targeting the C-Class anomalous event 'The Vanishing Bus.' There's one spot on the action team, and Judge Cui helped you secure it." Shen Bingyue paused, then added, "You're replacing Gao Tianliang, the direct descendant genius from the 'Lei Fa Gao Family' in Shanghai."
"I'm stealing someone's livelihood?" Qin Feng chuckled. Instead of worrying, he found it even more interesting.
"You could put it that way. Gao Tianliang is arrogant and vindictive, so you've essentially provoked an opponent for no reason." Shen Bingyue's voice was devoid of emotion. "Of course, you can also choose not to participate in this mission."
"Participate? Of course, I have to. This is an arrangement made by Judge Cui for me. If I don't go, wouldn't that be disrespecting him?"
Qin Feng replied cheerfully, completely unconcerned about who he might be provoking.
