Seized by the System

Chapter 623: Bullet in the Brain

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Third Year of Shenyuan,, 1st April, April Fools.

It was a rainy night in a city street on the other side of the ocean.

“I walk the line between life and death, left is life, right is death... The only path of useless people is death.”

A drunkard was muttering nonsense. He was holding a bottle of rum in his left hand and a revolver in his right. He was not able to walk straight.

“Bang...”

“Bang...”

“Bang...”

Bullets shot through the empty rain.

As the bullets shot past the rain, pale faces appeared suddenly, one by one, and were shattered.

...

Fang Ning received an emergency memo for help the next morning.

“There’ve been frequent mass shootings in China. Victims were shot right between the eyes, but we were unable to track the origin of the bullets. We’d like to request the cooperation of all units to help in this investigation by providing information. Truth Department’s Special Investigation Unit. Third Year of Shenyuan, April 2nd.”

Looked like it was another one of those usual special missions...

However, all units working under the Truth department had received the memo.

After the experience of the Brain-Devouring Parasite, it is no wonder everyone took all strange cases seriously, even though it might spread quickly into a boundless sea of blood.

“Old Yellow used to oversee these strange cases. Currently, it taken has over the Scientific Academy in Morality City. Then who would be in charge of the case?” Fang Ning had a problem.

Allowing a dog to supervise a Scientific Academy was the most logical choice for Fang Ning because a dog would not ruin his investment...

“You’re a smart guy. Why don’t you take care of it?” Sir suddenly asked.

“Me? Not possible. What if the investigation reveals the truth to be something similar to a cursed bell, I’ll be scared to death...” Fang Ning shook his head, objecting to the suggestion.

“You can channel the dragon with your spirit and are protected by the monuments of heaven and earth, yet you are still such a coward... In this case, I feel assured.” Sir changed the topic, feeling comforted.

“I don’t have many merits, this is considered the biggest one.” Fang Ning replied unabashedly.

“Yes, the millionaire does know himself. Who should we give the responsibility to?”

“Let me think. Hmm, I got it, Black Dog has a body of mythical metal, no weapon can penetrate it. It won’t be able to be threatened in this case. Besides, it is still in contact with a Devil Vigilante from the Upper Realm, we can hand them both the case.” Fang Ning’s quick thinking had made Black Dog and Devil Vigilante the perfect scapegoats for this horrifying case.

...

“Grandma, do you still want to cross the road?”

“No, my child. I’ve crossed it a hundred times today. You can leave me here. Thank you.”

“Okay, goodbye.” a big, rough looking man with a dark face left the old lady at the side of the road and left.

“Sigh, where did this silly man come from. My poor waist... Did he see through my disguise? It’s okay, I’ll just look for an even dumber person to con.” a look of cunning flashed in the old lady’s eyes and she fumbled away.

“Ten thousand good deeds, I’ve done 100 today. If this goes on, I’ll be able to be done in a few months with high efficiency. I am definitely worthy of the Devil Sword.” the rough looking man sat at a food stall and ordered some rice cakes and a few baskets of steamed bun, thinking and eating at the same time.

“Woof woof, woof woof woof...” a black dog suddenly appeared from around his feet and barked at him.

“Hey, isn’t this Brett? You left a while ago, saying that your master called for you. Why are you back?” the rough looking man was surprised.

“My master informed me that if you did this one deed, it will be equivalent to a thousand good deeds.” Black Dog Brett replied seriously.

The crowd at the stall looked around at each other and continued eating. No one was surprised by a talking dog.

This was featured on various talk shows a few years ago. Nowadays, it’s quite a common phenomenon.

“What is it? I’ve already accomplished 9300 good deeds. Do you mean to tell me that this one deed will be enough for me to return and pull out the Devil Sword and forever embark on the winning road of the Devil’s life?” Nan Feng was surprised and happy.

“Erm, you, how did you accomplish this so fast?” Brett was stunned. It had not been more than a few months since they last saw each other and Nan Feng had already managed close to ten thousand good deeds?

How is that possible?

It knew the difficulty of conducting good deeds, sometimes doing good leads to bad things happening. But this person was not its master and it could not read his eyes.

“Look, I followed a strategy found online... Read this, how to help an old lady cross the road as a good deed.” Nan Feng took out his phone, scrolling it with familiarity and showing Black Dog the page.

“Hmm, it does make sense, but are you sure you aren’t cheating?” Black Dog scratched his head with his front leg, trying to figure out the situation.

“As long as it’s a good thing, that’s all that matters. About what you mentioned, what exactly is the deed?”

Black Dog immediately told him about the strange case.

Devil Vigilante, Nan Feng’s expression changed. He grabbed Black Dog by the neck, panic-stricken, “This is really bad, you master is in danger!”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ve heard about this man before, he is a pervert from the Upper Realm. He uses a mysterious cause and effect method to commit murder, no one knows the mechanics behind this, only that he is a skillful long-range sniper and has never missed no matter how far. If someone makes an enemy out of him, that person is dead...” the more Nan Feng described him, the more fear grew in him.

“Are you telling me that you are too scared to take this mission?” Black Dog was shaken by Nan Feng’s words.

However, he remembered that his body was made from Mythical Metal and was no longer flesh and blood. He should not be fearing this mode of attack.

“Hey, says who that I...I’m afraid. I’ll accept this mission and investigate that pervert.” Nan Feng forcefully said.

Right at the moment, a bullet appeared one meter away, targeting him between the eyes.

Black Dog lunged in front of him.

“Bang!” There were sparks everywhere.

Nan Feng stared at Black Dog. Besides a white scratch on its body, it seemed to be fine.

“You keep your talents hidden well, no wonder you are valued by that God. Even in the Lower Realm, you are able to train yourself to be indestructible. Very impressive!” Nan Feng was generous with the praise.

“Haha, this is just a normal thing for me.” Brett suddenly realized that being a metal dog had its benefits.

“Well, come on! I’m buying a big meal to repay you for saving my life...” Nan Feng proceeded to order a large amount of fried meat and skewers.

“Hmm, I’m not sure if I’m able to digest them, but I’m going to at least taste them.” Brett was salivating at the sight of food and ignored Fang Ning’s instructions for the moment.

...

At the same moment in the System Space.

Fang Ning was floating mid-air in front of a bullet. He was frowning.

“How did this thing make its way in?” Fang Ning was circling the bullet and observing it. He was shaken by it.

“I don’t know. All I know is that the moment it enters, it will obey me.” Sir said confidently.

“If it doesn’t obey you, I’d be dead by now.” Fang Ning was busy playing his computer game when he heard a ‘whoosh’ at the back of his head. He turned around to see a bullet stopping right at his head.

It was dangerous!

This was the first time he faced danger up-close!

He used to hide in the System Space all the time as it was safe and impenetrable.

But now, the rules seemed to be broken. There was now at least one mode of attack from the outside that was able to crack the System Space.

“You won’t die. Actually, I’ve already noticed its entry but since it was able to help me call out to you, I didn’t do much to control it.” explained sir.

“Huh? How could you disregard human life! Are you really a hero?” Fang Ning spluttered.

“Oh, I am a hero. But doesn’t this help me conserve my Kung Fu?” said Sir indignantly.

“...” Fang Ning was speechless.
