Chapter XXXVIII

"Apostle 70053, you have killed an unranked reincarnation, and the death hunt you have completed so far is one, and the hunting rewards will be distributed together when you return to the Shattered Starry Sky."

"Hint: Apostle 70053, according to the hunting terms of the Apostolic Contract, the Shattered Starry Sky will cover up for you the number of laws of the reincarnation's death until the end of the intended stay. If there are soulbound items in the loot, please do not use them for the time being, so as not to attract unnecessary danger. ”

Above Matthew's corpse was a small blood-red Rubik's cube, with bright blood-colored stripes on it that exuded a mysterious color.

"This Rubik's Cube is used as a reward to save you, you have no opinion!" Qin Lun reached out and took the Rubik's Cube, turned around and asked with a smile.

Junko nodded silently, with a hint of dazedness on her cold face. She didn't care about Matthew's bloody Rubik's Cube at all, and the deaths of her two companions left her heart empty. Japanese girls only feel that their hard work is in vain in the end. Now she was the only one left, just as confused as when she first entered the space.

Qin Lun looked at the dead look on the girl's face, smiled faintly, stood up and wanted to leave.

He didn't think about killing Junko Yoshida, one is that Junko doesn't have much interest in him. Even Matthew, who has obtained the bloodline of the illusion demon, has not yet entered the ranks, how much can he gain by killing Junko, and the other point is that he is unwilling to do this kind of tasteless killing.

"Wait!" Junko's call suddenly came from behind him, and there was a slight tremor in her voice, "Is it true that you can't even exchange loyalty for companions?" ”

Qin Lun turned around and was surprised to find two strings of crystal tears on the girl's cold and gorgeous face.

"It's hard for me to live until now...... I managed to find a team...... Why, why don't they still want me, I don't fight for anything anymore...... Woo, woo~" Junko's iceberg-like face was full of tears and snot, and she sat on the ground crying like a child.

Looking at the crying girl, Qin Lun's eyes were slightly in a trance, the darkest corner of his heart moved slightly, and the smile on his face slowly converged.

"Of course, loyalty can be exchanged for companions, but you have found the wrong object of loyalty!" Qin Lun squatted in front of Junzi and wiped the tears from the girl's face with his fingers, "Have you seen what Panhu has done for Lou Win?" They are companions formed from the adventure of life and death, and each has the loyalty of the other......"

"You're saying I should follow Matthew's example and join a team like the Stormdemons?" Junko asked softly with a sob.

"No, a team like the Wind Demon Group has long been stable, and new members may have to go through a series of tests before they can be accepted." Qin Lun shook his head lightly, "Matthew is not wrong about one thing, he has the ability to survive these tests. And before you and Jote accumulate a certain amount of strength, I'm afraid they won't be able to meet the standards for joining a big team! ”

"So what should I do?" The girl's eyes widened with tears and she looked at Qin Lun expectantly.

Qin Lun hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly. He was reluctant to help others make decisions, but the crying girl reminded him of the little boy he used to be.

He finally sighed and whispered, "You can choose your companions from among the newcomers, those who are strong in their beliefs and also have loyalty, get their loyalty first, and then you decide whether to give your loyalty!" ”

"Isn't that just like Matthew's liar?" Junko muttered to herself in distraction.

"Matthew's rules of survival are not wrong, it's just that he uses your loyalty instead of his own, and chooses to sacrifice his companions in exchange for strength!" A smile appeared on Qin Lun's face, "And you can choose to help those newcomers who have loyalty and faith, in exchange for reliable companions at the cost of delaying the growth of strength!" ”

With Qin Lun's soft voice, Junko's eyes slowly lit up, and they regained their dazzling brilliance. After a while, the girl wiped her face, regained the cold and glamorous appearance of an iceberg beauty, and stood up again.

"Thank you!" Junzi bowed respectfully to Qin Lun.

"You're welcome!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed with a strange light, with both regret and expectation.

The path he pointed out to Junko was not easy to follow, and it was most likely that he would fulfill others, but at the expense of himself! If it were possible, he would love to stay in the DF space as a reincarnation and see where this girl could go.

"Qin Lun, can this world let me follow you?" Junko's face turned red and she said a little embarrassed.

"If you want to follow, follow it!" Qin Lun smiled indifferently.

"So what are we going to do now?" Junko asked curiously, after removing the demons, the girl's mood was much better.

"Now that the Phantom Boss of the Undersea Temple is dead, it is estimated that the senior powerhouses of the two camps will no longer pay attention to here, and it is very likely that they will rush to other Phantom Bases." Qin Lun's eyes flashed and he said slowly.

"Our strength is too poor, and we have been able to get to this point, in fact, it is all due to the Illusory Story. For us, it would be best for us to stay in the Ocean Temple and clean up the scattered illusions. There is no competition, and it is possible to accumulate some more faction prestige. ”

"Hmm!" Junko nodded, not raising any other objections.

In fact, she didn't know that Qin Lun's main goal was not the prestige of the faction, but the other space-time nodes in the labyrinth. Originally, if Qin Lun was alone, he was already planning to return to the space. Now with Junko's help, I can collect a few more space-time cores.

Qin Lun had just taken two steps towards the exit corridor, when his heart suddenly moved, he looked back at Matthew's corpse, and lowered his head in thought. Although Matthew has obtained the blood of the illusion, because it is the law body of the reincarnation, it has not turned into a pile of ashes like the real illusion.

"What's wrong?" Junko stopped in surprise.

"I'm going to make a real yàn!" Qin Lun smiled, summoned the black bear BEN, and issued an order, "Eat him!" ”

"Gross!" Looking at the black bear covered in pus and exuding a strong corpse stench, devouring Matthew's corpse, Junko couldn't help but vomit in disgust, "We are the law body, you ...... This summon, even if you eat Matthew, you can't get the phantom blood, right? ”

"Hehe, in fact, I'm just guessing, I'm wondering if the physical body will lose its law characteristics after the death of the reincarnation. If that's the case, there's a chance that my summon will absorb some of Matthew's phantom genes. Qin Lun closed his eyes and carefully experienced the changes in the body of the black bear BEN.

Qin Lun didn't tell the whole truth, if the bloodline item could be obtained through the food of the summoned creatures, how could it be so precious.

However, Black Bear Ben had absorbed an incomplete genetic potion in the labyrinth's room, which was the same type as the one Matthew had gotten. Devouring Matthew's corpse, the black bear should be able to delay the collapse and deterioration of the body, even if it can't complete the bloodline transformation.

Junko stopped talking and walked away, not wanting to listen to the sound of the black bear chewing on the corpse.

Qin Lun's guess was correct, after devouring most of Matthew's corpse, the situation of the black bear BEN did change. The summoned flesh slowed its deterioration, but it still looked languishing.

Qin Lun waved his hand and withdrew the black bear into the summoning space, breathing a sigh of relief. Now he has a little more confidence in refining a complete bloodline item from the black bear's body after his return.

Another piece of good news is that the amount of energy he uses to maintain the black bear's life has been reduced, and he no longer has to worry about the 36-hour stay limit, which is equivalent to saving the self-healing crystal.

"Did you get anything from that broken ship?" After rendezvous with Junko, the two walked towards the exit.

"I didn't gain anything, but I found something strange...... Junzi tilted her head and thought about it, then took out a small puppet from her arms and handed it to Qin Lun to watch.

The puppet seems to be unfinished, with only a rough outline of its face, dressed in casual clothes, with one hand on its elbow and its chin, dressed like a modern person.

"This puppet isn't a plot item, it's just that it's weird. It stands to reason that the Phantom invasion of Paris brought the Phantom World into contact with the modern world, and the battleship has been abandoned for a long time. During the Warring States period in Japan, it seems that there should not be puppets in the style of zài...... Hey, what's wrong with you? ”

Junzi muttered a few words, but when he turned around, he saw Qin Lun's face pale, and dense cold sweat broke out on his forehead, pressing his chest like an asthma attack, gasping for breath.

"I ...... I'm fine! Qin Lun endured the cramping pain in his heart, and looked at the little puppet in Junzi's hand in a daze.

He was sure that this was the first time he had seen this puppet, but for some reason, as soon as he saw this little puppet, he felt a pang in his heart for some reason, as if he had lost something extremely precious.

The appearance of this little puppet holding his chin on his elbow with one hand gave him a very strange feeling, as if he had seen it...... Myself!

"Put it away, let's get out of here!" Qin Lun forced himself to look away from the puppet, and when his breathing stabilized, he beckoned Junko to leave the shipbuilding room.

An hour later, the two appeared in a stone room. This is a small storage room found by Tongguò Phantom Rumors, located in the middle of nowhere, and there are no Phantom guards.

Both of them are almost at the limit, especially Junko, who not only lost a lot of blood, but also experienced a big battle. After discussion, both of them decided not to search today, but to rest and recuperate, and then to search the underwater temple and the outer labyrinth tomorrow.

"You can rest first!" Qin Lun smiled very gracefully.

"Okay, I'll be called later!" The girl did not refuse, and curled up in the corner of the stone room like a kitten, and soon sank into sleep.

Qin Lun sat cross-legged in another corner of the room, took out the bloody Rubik's Cube from his arms, and slowly stroked the blood-colored stripes of the Rubik's Cube with his fingers......
