My Life Can Be Simulated Infinitely – Chapter 36

Ch 36: Found It

Inside the dilapidated temple, Jiao Shumo looked at the six people in front of him with hatred, wishing he could drink their blood and tear off their skin.

Before today, he had a happy and fulfilling family.

The Jiao family in the town was considered a martial arts family, passed down for more than two hundred years. Their ancestors had produced a Third-Rank martial artist. It was just unknown why they settled in this small town.

By this generation, the Jiao family was neither outstanding nor inferior.

His father was a Sixth-Rank. He was even more talented, and at only eighteen years old, he already had a Seventh-Rank cultivation, and was regarded by his father as the hope for the family’s revival.

Until last night, everything was gone.

These six people were all friends of his father, and had come to his home as guests a few days ago. Last night, they unintentionally discovered a secret chamber in the Jiao family, which contained a treasure map left by their ancestors.

It was also this treasure map that caused his family to be destroyed.

His father discovered that the secret chamber had been opened and demanded the treasure map back from the six people. The moment he took back the treasure map, he was attacked by the six people and was seriously injured on the spot.

His father escaped with his life, handed the treasure map to him, and told him to flee quickly.

At this time, the six people chased after them, and his mother blocked the six people, also dying on the spot.

Jiao Shumo fled all the way, but was still caught up by them.

He was no match for these six people at all. The reason they didn’t kill him was to force him to reveal the location of the treasure map.

“Want the treasure map? In your dreams!”

Jiao Shumo knew he was going to die, and unwilling to suffer their torment, he didn’t hesitate and moved the long sword in his hand towards his neck.

“No!”

“Stop!”

◈◈◈

The six people’s expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed in alarm.

Just then, a figure appeared beside Jiao Shumo, snatched the sword from his hand, and saved his life.

The six people were somewhat frightened by this sudden appearance.

This person had a piece of cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of eyes, and was wearing the most ordinary clothes.

The problem was, no one saw how he appeared, which meant that this person’s skills far exceeded theirs.

The most shocked was Jiao Shumo himself. He had been determined to die, but he never expected that someone would suddenly appear and save him.

He turned his head to look, and only saw a pair of eyes as calm as water.

“Do you hate them?”

A magnetic voice entered his ears.

More than just hate?

“Give me the treasure map, and I’ll help you kill them all, how about it?”

Hearing this, Jiao Shumo said without hesitation, “Okay.”

Before he agreed, the six people’s expressions changed drastically, and they scattered and fled at the same time.

As soon as his voice fell, the mysterious person beside him disappeared. His figure was like a ghost, chasing after them one by one. With a single saber strike, all six of them fell before they could escape the dilapidated temple.

Then, the mysterious person returned to his side, as if he hadn’t moved at all.

In just a few breaths, the six murderers who killed his parents and loved ones had all fallen into a pool of blood.

Jiao Shumo was like he was in a dream, and was completely unresponsive for a moment.

“I’ve already killed the people, where’s the thing?”

When the mysterious person’s voice entered his ears, he woke up as if from a dream, and knelt down with a thud, “Senior helped me avenge my great hatred, I will never forget this kindness and virtue.”

“This is just a transaction, give me the thing, and we’ll be even.”

Jiao Shumo raised his head and said hesitantly, “That thing was thrown into the lake by this junior. It will probably take some effort to find it.”

“Take me there.”

……

◈◈◈

The lake that Jiao Shumo spoke of was not far outside the town.

When the two arrived at the lake, it was already dawn.

“It’s around this location, this junior will go down to find it.” Jiao Shumo found the location where he threw the treasure map, took off his outer clothes, and plunged into the water.

Gu Yang stood by the lake waiting, staring at the surface of the lake.

This kid’s strength was not high, and he wasn’t worried that the other party would play tricks. He could afford to waste this bit of time.

Just then, he heard footsteps not far away. With a flash, he hid behind a tree by the lake.

A charming voice came from afar, “Young Master Liu, is this the Fairy Lake you were talking about? It doesn’t look like anything special.”

“Miss Cao, you don’t know, this Fairy Lake has a beautiful legend…”

Then, there was a burst of hurried hoofbeats, and another man’s anxious voice came, “Miss Cao, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Did this Liu Ze force you to leave?”

The charming voice said, “Young Master Liu, what should we do? He’s catching up.”

“Don’t worry, with me here, no one can hurt you.” The man who spoke earlier said, and shouted loudly, “Zhang An, Miss Cao has already refused you several times, why are you still pestering her?”

“You’re talking nonsense! It must be you who is interfering, Liu Ze, leave immediately, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“Hmph, do you think I’m afraid of you?”

After that, there was the sound of weapons clashing.

Gu Yang frowned. He had actually encountered this kind of drama where two men were fighting over one woman. Judging from the sound of their fighting, both had a Seventh-Rank cultivation.

Soon, with a scream, the two men had a victor.

“They actually really killed someone.”

Gu Yang frowned even more. Although he couldn’t see it, he heard the sound of a blade entering flesh. It was likely that the abdominal cavity was pierced, which was a fatal injury.

“Miss Cao, I’ve already helped you kill this guy… He won’t bother you anymore…”

This voice was Liu An’s. Obviously, he was the final victor. His voice was a little trembling, he didn’t know if it was excitement or fear.

The woman’s voice from before became as cold as ice, “Zhang An and you are childhood friends. Today, for my sake, you were able to heartlessly kill him. You are extremely ruthless and unjust, which is truly disgusting. Get lost, and don’t let me see you again.”

Liu An said in disbelief, “Miss… Cao, I… I did it all for you…”

“Today, you can kill your friend for me. In the future, wouldn’t you kill me for another woman?”

“How could I possibly do that? My heart for you, the sun and moon can attest…”

“How do you prove it?”

“Miss Cao, I… I wish I could dig out my heart for you to see…”

“Okay, now you dig out your heart, and I’ll believe you.”

“Huh?”

“What, you don’t want to? I’ll help you.”

*Puchi* sound.

“So ugly.”

Finally, it was the woman’s disgusted voice.

Then, there was no more sound.

Gu Yang, who was hiding behind the tree, was stunned by these conversations. He never expected that things would end up like this.

The style of the story had changed from a melodramatic romance to a suspenseful thriller.

The change was too fast and too violent, and he almost didn’t react.

At this time, the sound of water came, and Jiao Shumo’s head popped out, and he said excitedly, “Senior, I found it.”
