Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Qi Yun Appears Again
At this moment, a person wrapped in thick black cloth, with only a pair of eyes exposed, appeared in Song Jian’s room.
The pupils of this person’s eyes were as tiny as sesame seeds, surrounded by dead-white eyes. Regardless of it being late at night or even in broad daylight, being stared at by such eyes would make anyone feel a chilling sensation.
The man in black stared at the vertical eye on Song Jian’s forehead without saying a word. It seemed that his interest in the vertical eye was much greater than in Song Jian himself.
“Who are you, and what do you want from me?” Song Jian tensed up, staring at the man in black and asked.
There was no information revealed about this man in black. It seemed that players could hide their information, just like Song Jian, who had nothing displayed above his head.
However, Song Jian couldn’t sense any player’s presence from the man in black. Instead, there was a gloomy feeling, as if suddenly possessing great power but unable to control it, unconsciously leaking energy.
Such a situation would not happen to a player. Even if a player had an adventure and suddenly gained strength, they would master their power in a very short time and not give others this kind of feeling.
“Song Jian, don’t you really recognize me?” The man in black spoke, his voice rather hoarse, as if his throat was being gripped. The black cloth wrapped around his head began to unravel, controlled by a mysterious force.
A pale, jade-like skull appeared in front of Song Jian.
“You are…” Song Jian slightly frowned. The man before him was not a real skeleton, but there wasn’t a trace of flesh on him. The skin, which was emitting a faint white light and tightly covering his skull, made him look like a skeleton.
“You don’t recognize me anymore, do you really not recognize me anymore, ah~” The man in black let out a miserable scream, sounding both angry and sad.
There was a soft sound as the black cloth wrapped around the man disintegrated in an instant, revealing his body.
He only wore a simple white short-sleeved shirt and pants. His exposed body, like his head, was wrapped in a crystal-clear skin that made him look like a skeleton.
Hearing the other party’s wailing, Song Jian suddenly felt it was familiar. In his memory, he seemed to have heard the other party’s voice somewhere.
“You are…Qi Yun?” Song Jian’s eyes widened as he looked at the monstrous Qi Yun in front of him and shouted.
“Qi Yun, Qi Yun, hahaha, that’s my old name. I didn’t expect you to remember…” A complicated expression appeared on Qi Yun’s face as a gray tear rolled down from his eye.
At that time, Qi Yun was forced to become Song Jian’s slave. However, for some reason, he broke the slave contract later. Song Jian thought Qi Yun had died, but he didn’t expect him to turn into such a ghostly appearance.
“Did you use Zeus Shield Company’s gene potions?” Song Jian asked, staring at Qi Yun.
“Yes, I was in a coma at that time, but if I wanted to survive, I had to inject those gene potions. Fortunately, my luck wasn’t bad. In the laboratory of that building, I got a perfect-quality Gene Modification Potion…” Qi Yun stared at Song Jian.
“Perfect quality…” Song Jian looked up and down at Qi Yun’s current appearance. If someone said that Qi Yun had turned into a skeleton soldier, Song Jian wouldn’t have doubted it.
“A perfect-quality gene modification potion turned you into this?” Song Jian couldn’t help but ask.
“Hahaha, isn’t this great? Invulnerable to swords and spears, possessing immense strength, a long life, and even the ability to control the power of shadow…” A strange smile appeared on Qi Yun’s face, and a ball of shadow flame appeared in his raised right hand. In that flame, there were painful wails, as if countless souls were burning in it.
At this point, Qi Yun’s attributes slowly emerged above his head.
“Qi Yun, Level 26, Occupation: Shadow Priest, Vitality Points: 3200/3200, Spirit Points: 1500/1500”
“A Shadow Priest? I remember you weren’t…” Song Jian was surprised. He wanted Qi Yun to become his slave because Qi Yun was a healing priest who could help him recover his vitality.
Unexpectedly, when they met again, not only had Qi Yun’s appearance changed completely, but his occupation had also changed.
“All of these, I can thank you for. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have injected this perfect-quality gene modification potion, I wouldn’t have possessed the Shadow Priest’s bloodline, and I wouldn’t have… met you again!” Qi Yun roared loudly.
“So, you came here for revenge?” Song Jian sneered.
It was impossible to assassinate Song Jian here in his territory. Not to mention the ability to teleport anywhere within his domain, in Song Jian’s senses, the blood-stained, gloomy Alex had already woken up from his slumber. If anyone looked out the window at that time, the entire outer wall of the Manor Castle was filled with Alex’s thick roots, which would attack Qi Yun instantly if he made any ill-intentions.
Now, the castle where Song Jian resided had become a cage, and it would be impossible to escape from it without special means.
“Revenge? Why would I want to take revenge on you?” Qi Yun suddenly revealed a strange smile: “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have such great power. I came to thank you!”
“Is this how you show gratitude? Breaking into my bedroom quietly at night without my consent, just like an assassin?” Song Jian laughed.
Song Jian wouldn’t believe a single word that Qi Yun said. If their positions were switched, Song Jian would want to kill himself immediately.
“I came to you to seek cooperation. If you help me, I can let go of all the past events!” Qi Yun said seriously.
“Cooperation? What kind of cooperation do you need from me? You should know that your strength now far surpasses mine!” Song Jian laughed.
At the moment, Song Jian was only Level 22, and Qi Yun was six levels higher. In many people’s eyes, Qi Yun, who was four levels higher, had an overwhelming advantage over Song Jian.
Moreover, Qi Yun’s occupation as a Shadow Priest was no less inferior to Song Jian’s position as a Sword Controller.
Before Qi Yun could speak, Song Jian suddenly looked outside the window: “Is your target them, the Shadow Circus Troupe?”
