With A Superpower To Extract Antiques, I Went Tomb Raiding Alone - Chapter 22
Chapter 22 Illusion
As soon as Jin Yuchen finished speaking, everyone’s figures blurred and disappeared from the city.
The people on the streets of Rome looked at each other.
They didn’t expect Jin Yuchen to say goodbye so quickly.
Jin Yuchen grabbed Vera and jumped to the wall of a nearby building. His toes scratched the concrete structure and left cracks, allowing him to stick firmly to it. Then, he quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight. “F*ck! Spiderman?”
Bruny and the others’ eyes were about to pop out.
The man in front of them was walking on the 90-degree vertical building as if it was flat ground, and he was even carrying a living person.
This was already in the scope of a sci-fi movie.
‘Costa, you were right. A terrifying curtain has been lifted in this world.’
Bruny put his hand into his pocket and touched Costa’s badge.
…
Jin Yuchen only put Vera down when they arrived at the seaside.
“Why did you save me?”
Vera stared at Jin Yuchen, her eyes bloodshot.
Jin Yuchen didn’t answer. He just looked at Vera quietly.
In his line of sight, Vera’s face gradually overlapped with Senior Sister Jiang Hu’s. It was as if he was still living that despairing
afternoon.
His Senior Sister looked at him quietly on the bed.
Jin Yuchen subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch her face, but he suddenly came to his
senses.
He took deep breaths as if he was about to drown.
Vera looked at Jin Yuchen, who was covered in
sweat and confused.
‘This man, why does he feel so pitiful?’
“You’re so silly!”
“Get lost!” Jin Yuchen roared at Vera. The voice coming from his throat sounded more like that of a beast.
He had subconsciously used Chinese, but Vera could hear the hostility in his tone.
‘This man is in a bad state.’
Vera laughed and grabbed Jin Yuchen’s hand to put it around her neck.
“I wasn’t sure at first. I feel that the previous life you mentioned must be a trap to lure me into lowering my guard.
“But you can’t bear to kill me, which proves didn’t lie. Or rather, you didn’t lie all
that you
the way.
“You know me, right?
“Or should I say, you love me?”
The veins on Jin Yuchen’s hands were bulging.
He felt a warm sensation on his back. A pair of rough, familiar hands wrapped around his waist and hugged him.
As the moist wind passed by his ears, Senior Sister Jiang Hu’s voice rang in his ears. “This woman is quite stupid. Marry her.”
Jin Yuchen let out a deafening roar. He had
already reached an unprecedented level in martial arts. No one had better control over his
body than he.
No matter how realistic the illusion behind him
was, he knew it was just an illusion.
Senior Sister Jiang Hu’s death was the demon in his heart that he could not get over.
‘Senior Sister is still alive!’
Jin Yuchen kept repeating these words to hypnotize himself, but he couldn’t be
convinced.
Was the Senior Sister in this life the same as
the one in his previous life?
It was like starting a single-player game. If you
couldn’t save an NPC in the first round, so what if you saved them in the second round?
Would they still be the same person?
Jin Yuchen had been very close to McRae Corp. in his past life, and he had a very serious psychological problem.
Senior Sister Jiang Hu’s death had left him with
a huge psychological trauma.
No matter how powerful he was, he could not save a dead person.
This feeling of powerlessness tormented him from time to time, causing him to have a
mental breakdown at one point, and the illusion of his Senior Sister kept appearing in
front of him.
He had never fallen ill again after seeing his Senior Sister in this life.
He thought he had been cured.
However, he didn’t expect it to be even more
serious than in his previous life. It even blurred the line between illusion and reality. Even though he knew it was an illusion, he didn’t want the feeling to disappear. Just as he was about to drown in the illusion,
his heart suddenly started beating, and the illusion of his Senior Sister suddenly disappeared.
“Wait, what just happened?”
Jin Yuchen felt his heart beating unnaturally.
He woke up and touched the heavy mouth subconsciously.
Then, he felt two heartbeats.
‘This…
‘Could it be the Spacetime Heart? ‘Did this thing follow me back to this place?
‘No, that’s not right. It shouldn’t be following
- It should be that I was reborn because of
it!’
Jin Yuchen had a flash of understanding.
‘It’s just that this thing didn’t show its
existence before, so I didn’t notice it. But it
hasn’t woken up for such a long time. Why did it wake up today?’
Jin Yuchen touched the Nero Gold Coin
subconsciously.
‘It should be because I’ve obtained a new supreme treasure.
‘The Spacetime Heart must have awakened
after absorbing something in the Nero Gold Coin. I hope it’s not an ability.’
The Spacetime Heart was indeed magical, but
the activation mechanism of the ability was unclear, and he did not know what effect it had.
Besides, the Nero Gold Coin was more suitable for Jin Yuchen’s fighting style, and he felt losing it would be a huge loss.
Then, Jin Yuchen activated his ability and pressed Vera’s head into his chest.
“F*ck!”
As Vera cursed, Jin Yuchen pulled Vera’s head
out as if he was removing a cork from a wine bottle.
Jin Yuchen ignored Vera’s curses and thought,
‘There doesn’t seem to be any loss in its ability. It must have absorbed something else.’ Jin Yuchen recalled the illusion that had just
disappeared.
He had already determined that this Nero Gold
Coin was ‘poisonous’ and would change the owner’s temperament.
At that time, he was still curious as to why he
was fine now. He was afraid that he just didn’t have the time to fix this. Jin Yuchen shuddered at the thought of the realistic fantasy he had just had.
What would happen if he fell into an illusion and couldn’t extricate himself?
Jin Yuchen couldn’t even imagine the consequences. He would probably kill a lot of people without them knowing.
‘I didn’t expect the Spacetime Heart to have
such an effect. This is great.’
At this thought, Jin Yuchen patted Vera’s body,
causing her to freeze on the spot. Then, he left without looking back.
‘I’m too lazy to play house with this stupid woman. I have to hurry back to China.’
After Jin Yuchen disappeared, a yacht appeared
on the sea.
The red-haired Sophie got off the ship under
the cover of a few cyborgs and came to Vera’s side.
“Oh, this is a rare scene.”
Sophie took out her phone gloatingly and turned on the camera.
“I have to take care of Vera?”
Sophie was about to press the camera button when she saw a person in the camera. It was an Asian woman in a hospital gown.
Sophie was shocked. No one was there just now!
When did it appear here?
She put down her phone and smiled at the
sickly Asian woman in front of her. “Ah, that, did I come at the wrong time?”
Sophie made up her mind to run away as soon as the situation turned bad. She was in charge of scientific research and
had no interest in fighting with this kind of unknown entity.
The Asian woman’s pale lips showed a smile. “No, you’ve come at the right time. Let’s get to
know each other. I’m Jiang Hu.”
