Ten minutes later, traffic in the high-speed tube had returned to normal.
Lin Rui parked his car on the side of the high-speed tube and leisurely drank the hot beverage provided by the police.
Lin Xi was holding a pack of wet wipes, cleaning the blood off Lin Rui.
Most of the blood belonged to the knights from the Blood Lizard Gang, though Lin Rui had also sustained some injuries himself, with his shoulders and waist being grazed by bullets.
Lin Xi treated his wounds, her eyes turning slightly red.
"It's fine, I'll just lie down in the automatic surgery capsule when we get back, and it'll heal in a minute," Lin Rui said, not overly concerned about his injuries. In this era, as long as one didn't die on the spot, wounds could basically heal within ten minutes, without even leaving a scar.
He began to look through the information sent to him by his Battle Spirit Ring in his mind.
Notification: For slaying a second realm demon-transformed Martial Cultivator, you have gained 261 points of Soul Power.
Notification: For slaying a third realm demon-transformed Martial Cultivator, you have gained 348 points of Soul Power.
Notification: For slaying a third realm demon-transformed Martial Cultivator, you have gained 358 points of Soul Power.
Notification: For slaying a third realm demon-transformed Martial Cultivator, you have gained 363 points of Soul Power.
Lin Rui had killed a total of 15 people, yet there were 13 notifications, providing him with over 2900 points of Soul Power.
Lin Rui was a bit stunned. Could it be that the Battle Spirit Ring actually considered these Martial Cultivators, who were suffering from 'cybernetic implant syndrome', as demon-transformed Martial Cultivators?
Thinking about it, weren't the three thousand cybernetically-enhanced Martial Cultivators of the Blood Lizard Gang just a huge packet of experience?
It truly was madness for members of the Blood Lizard Gang to implant so many things inside their bodies with such low spiritual power.
Take Jack with the gold teeth, for example, he had at least five assistive cybernetic implants in his body, and he even used a higher-grade artificial serum despite his insufficient spiritual power. No wonder he contracted 'cybernetic implant syndrome'; it's a miracle they haven't all gone completely mad.
Another piece of information lingered in Lin Rui's mind.
Mission 2: Battle Spirit No. 1 hopes that you can help take care of his daughter, Xue Lingxue, through the most difficult stage of her life. After completing the task, you can copy one high-level skill from Battle Spirit No. 1's skill list without paying any cost.
Lin Rui squinted his eyes.
The death of a bunch of drug-trafficking vermin was not a significant matter at all; the lives of these people combined were not worth as much as a single finger of this rising star of the Tianlan Corporation.
If the Blood Lizard Gang refused to abide by the government's rules, others naturally could employ forces outside the rules against the Blood Lizard Gang.
Lin Rui immediately thought of Fang Ranran.
Apart from their family's club president, he guessed no one else would go to such lengths to help him.
Lin Rui felt immensely grateful and promptly stood up, saying, "Then we'll be going now. If the police need to ask us anything, feel free to contact me at any time."
At this moment, a luxurious Ambola shared rental car, a President's Wing model, slowly pulled up beside them.
Lin Rui now had a lot of trust in this company's business car brand.
It was a pity that earlier, he didn't have the determination to spend more to hire the luxurious President's version; otherwise, Jack with the golden teeth and his group wouldn't have managed to lay a finger on his siblings.
Of course, if it weren't for the battle that day, he wouldn't have known that the Battle Spirit Ring actually mistook the spiritually ill for transformed Martial Cultivators.
Before getting into the car, Lin Rui looked solemnly at Xue Lingxue, "Sister Xue, take care of yourself, and my condolences!"
Xue Lingxue's eyes suddenly reddened, and she fought back tears while nodding, "I know, you guys go."
She watched as the siblings boarded the luxurious Ambola business Wing car, which then took to the sky and disappeared from sight. She immediately made a phone call.
Xue Lingxue's eyes were still filled with sadness, but her expression had resumed its usual cool composure, "General, I have made contact with Lin Rui and Lin Xi, the siblings."
"I've seen it," a hoarse male voice came through the terminal wristband's microphone, "So, how do you feel about it?"
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that the siblings are quite guarded against me," Xue Lingxue frowned slightly, "And Lin Rui, judging from this battle, his talent is unfathomably high—it was not apparent when he was younger."
"They are guarded against you?" The hoarse male voice seemed somewhat surprised. He then said sternly, "Lin Rui's martial talent is indeed alarmingly high. He's just undergone the vein implantation surgery, and he's already able to exercise Sword Control and needle control. However, from the information we have, whether he really is Lin Rui is not yet certain. Be observant."
He then shifted his tone, "Since they are wary of you, then do not approach them for the time being. Lingxue, make the most of your current identity, prioritize observation, and pay close attention to Lin Xi! From the recent intelligence, more than one party wants to force the Despair Heavenly Girl to awaken. We must not let them succeed; it was your father's unfinished mission.
And as for Lin Rui, you must clarify his situation. But be very careful not to let Lin Xi notice."
"I understand!" Xue Lingxue nodded, "We can't let Lin Xi know that her brother might have already died. So, we also need to ensure this Lin Rui's safety, correct?"
"Very good," the hoarse male voice seemed very satisfied and ended the communication.
Xue Lingxue then stood there, deep in thought. She wondered if her family's tragic deaths had anything to do with Lin Rui's 'death'?
