The True Meaning of Ten Thousand Times the Return

"Mengyao, don't be nervous, let me take a look first."

Josh's voice was gentle. "There are obvious ligature marks and soft tissue contusions on the body, and slight edema in the throat."

As she spoke, she took out a first-aid kit from her backpack and retrieved disinfectant wipes.

"The most troublesome thing is that she has suffered a rather severe shock and is already showing mild dissociative symptoms."

In fact, Li Mengyao was not the only one affected.

Shen Qingci was the same.

She was in a good mood initially, but not so good at this moment.

"..."

She sat to the side, her face looking very pale.

Lin Yue's smile kept replaying in my mind.

The first thing Chen Yu did after sitting down was to look out the window at the snowy scenery.

A huge villa estate stands there.

Their minibus was parked in the middle of a road that stretched out from it.

The area was deserted, with no other cars in sight.

"This parking space is number seven, which is gate number seven."

"Lin Yue isn't on the same page..."

Chen Yu immediately realized his current predicament: he couldn't find Lin Yue.

He felt somewhat helpless.

Zhang Longqi and Liu Zixuan, whom he had painstakingly protected, were both dead.

Lin Yue has also left the team.

This resulted in my points being multiplied by three less 1.2 coefficients; otherwise, the reward would have been even greater.

While the women were surrounding Li Mengyao.

Chen Yu first glanced at the individual rewards:

[Fragment of the ghost mirror (approximately 1/2 of the complete mirror)]

Description: An irregularly shaped mirror with a faint, misty substance slowly flowing inside; it originates from a ghost mirror inside the villa, possessed by a vengeful spirit.

Effect: When actively activated, within the illuminated area, with a maximum coverage area of ​​approximately 3 meters by 3 meters, the innate energy of all individuals will be frozen for 30 seconds.

Note: Cooldown time is 72 hours.

This is a prop-type weapon.

Moreover, it's a direct PvP item used against humans.

Aside from passive talents like physical strength...

Skills and energy will all be affected and stagnate.

In this state, all I can do is have a 30-second battle with him, a real man, with his pure flesh...

It's a perfect match for Chen Yu.

Even if Doctor Strange were hit by this move, he would be suffocated by Chen Yu's punch.

"Senior, how many points do you have? What's your reward?"

Chen Yu asked in a low voice.

In fact, Shen Qingci is already a Hongluan, and their physiological connection is at level 10.

However, the return of his Red Phoenix talent, especially when it involves missions, is always a little late.

Shen Qingci snapped out of her daze and rubbed her temples: "My score is 39 points. I got... four Ghost Mirror trash. Let me see what they're good for..."

As she spoke, she took out four shiny shavings, each the size of an earwax, from her backpack.

"?"

Chen Yu was a little tense; Shen Qingci only had 39 points...

I had a full 866 points, and I even felt it was a bit low just now.

Speaking of which, compared to my senior...

It was nothing more than killing a few more people, smashing a few more things, and slaughtering a few more ghosts...

That seems reasonable from that perspective.

I've never actually kept track of how much I did at the villa.

I guess he probably gained quite a few points unintentionally from all of these things.

"Look here."

As soon as Shen Qingci finished speaking, he realized that he had said "yes" and his expression suddenly changed.

Chen Yu: "..."

It's clear that Lin Yue has cast a long shadow over her.

Chen Yu took the shiny trash, and information appeared...

【Ghost Mirror Scum】

Description: Tiny fragments of a mirror, their surface covered with a murky sheen, are remnants of a disintegrated ghost mirror, still retaining some of its eerie, sinister qualities.

Effect: Can be thrown into a designated area. After shattering, it will create an interference field with a radius of approximately 1.5 meters, lasting for 1 minute. Any talent energy within the field will be weakened by about 50%.

Note: No cooldown; effects are not stackable, but durations are stackable.

Chen Yu: "..."

It's basically a completely weakened version of the Ghost Mirror Fragment, no wonder it only has a low score of 39.

Actually, it was because Chen Yu ate too well.

In the post-apocalyptic survival journey, having access to items already gives you a 70% head start.

He's being so picky here; he's starting to act like he doesn't care about basic necessities.

Think back to your past life, and you'll know that every prop was carefully calculated and used wisely.

Moreover, the scum of the ghost mirror isn't entirely useless; it has its own advantages:

That means no cooldown, stacked duration!

All you need is enough dregs!

He can always have a 50% advantage, since Chen Yu doesn't have any energy-related talents...

Even more exciting is that the talent will be returned later.

The combination of Li Mengyao and Shen Qingci is going to be a huge hit.

Chen Yu had already imagined...

The fighting scenes that will follow.

No matter what flames, ice, or poison gas you throw at him, he throws out a few trash at the start and then unleashes a set of invincible cards!

Go straight in and start hacking!

Even if all else fails, the Ghost Mirror Shard can hold out for 30 seconds, making him an absolute god of war!

Of course, the prerequisite is that Chen Yu loosens his backpack a little, so as to avoid being forced to synthesize the Ghost Mirror fragments...

"Hmm...not bad!"

Chen Yu's lips curled up slightly; he was very satisfied with the results of this trip.

Shen Qingci looked at his profile, hesitated for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of Lin Yue's matter?"

Chen Yu turned his head: "What are you afraid of?"

Shen Qingci pursed her lips: "She's an SSS-level, with bizarre abilities, and... she's become twisted towards you, beyond what normal people can understand. We're in the same school, and as long as she's alive, she'll come after you sooner or later."

Chen Yu remained silent for a few seconds.

They'll come looking for me again sooner or later...

Yes, it is indeed quite scary.

He wasn't afraid of being killed by this yandere, but rather afraid that these girls would suffer a terrible fate.

You should know, Lin Yue's crystal armor...

No, it's her crystal ability, which is as strong as SSS level.

I don't know what kind of awakening item it is.

In any case, its strength is enough to easily shatter a steel knife, and its force is also terrifying.

In terms of combat power alone, none of these girls could withstand him, except for himself.

Even the strongest female fighter right now, Shen Qingci, would be no match for her; she would die in just a few exchanges.

"I never would have guessed that..."

Shen Qingci shook her head.

Just then, the return Chen Yu had been waiting for finally arrived—
