Hell's Handbook-Chapter 412

Su Jin and the others could understand why Wu Jingru refused to believe anything Su Jin said. If someone came to them and said that they were Ultraman from some Ultraman Planet, they wouldn’t have believed it either.

“So… are you guys filming some movie?” asked Wu Jingru as she stared at Su Jin with her large eyes.

“Nope,” Su Jin shook his head. What he said didn’t seem to matter anymore. She just simply refused to believe him and had concluded that Su Jin had just used some camera trick to fool her.

“Actually, there’s another way to prove this.” Chu Yi came over and whispered something into Su Jin’s ear.

“That… could work too.” Su Jin nodded. Chu Yi’s method was simple. He was due for a new Challenge soon, so he wanted Su Jin to delay the time it took for him to return from a Challenge. In other words, once Chu Yi was done with a Challenge, he needed Su Jin to stop him from coming back to the real world for a while. He didn’t need Su Jin to extend the time spent in a Challenge. He just needed Wu Jingru to be able to see that he had disappeared for a sufficiently long enough time.

Chu Yi was a very formidable character now. He had reached the peak of his martial arts training and was on the verge of finding his way to godhood. So, as long as he wasn’t terribly unlucky, he was still very likely to survive most Challenges. freewebnσvel.cøm

Of course, Handbook Challenges were difficult to any owner. Chu Yi and Situ Jn, and even Xu Ran, all began a new Challenge with heavy hearts. But they were already used to having to do this. After all, no owner who made it this high on the ranking was the type to fear death.

Su Jin used his maniacal power to envelope Wu Jingru, and even after seeing the bright aura around herself that made her resemble a Pokémon of sorts, she still thought that this was some special effect.

Once she was completely encased in maniacal power, the Handbook would not be able to detect her existence. That way, she would be able to see Chu Yi disappear into thin air.

When Chu Yi disappeared, Wu Jingru was clearly a little surprised. He had been sitting right in front of her just now. No special effects could make a full grown adult disappear like that, right?

“He’s done,” muttered Su Jin. Time moved differently inside and outside of a Challenge. Only a few seconds had passed in the real world, but Chu Yi might have been fighting for his life for the past two weeks in a Challenge.

Su Jin retracted his maniacal power and reopened Chu Yi’s path back to the real world. Chu Yi collapsed onto the floor immediately upon returning, his body convulsing non stop and covered entirely in blood.

“What’s this all about? You didn’t have to go this far to make her believe you, you know?” Situ Jin couldn’t believe his eyes. Chu Yi looked like he had been plucked straight out of hell.

“No, he’s very severely injured, and it seems he’s unable to recover from his injuries by himself.” Xu Ran narrowed his eyes as he realized what was wrong with Chu Yi.

“Even if he can’t recover by himself, the Handbook should be able to restore him, no?” asked Situ Jin.

“Looks like even the Handbook wasn’t able to do that,” said Xu Ran.

While they were speaking, Su Jin had already grabbed hold of Chu Yi to take a closer look. Just like Xu Ran had guessed, Chu Yi was very severely injured, but the Handbook had not restored him, and Chu Yi’s internal energy wasn’t able to heal him either.

“This…” Su Jin enveloped Chu Yi with his maniacal power and found something familiar. It was the power of runes.

“This power came from those rune creatures!” Su Jin narrowed his eyes slightly. The energy he was sensing was clearly the same as the energy from the rune creatures he ran into during the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. That was also why the Handbook and Chu Yi’s internal energy were unable to help him recover.

The Handbook could restore an owner because their injuries were all caused by powers that existed within the Handbook’s universe. But the rune creatures existed outside of the Handbook, so the Handbook was unable to do anything about those.

“Damn it… those weird things have reappeared?” Su Jin finally managed to use his maniacal power to eliminate the power of the runes, and Chu Yi was able to use his internal energy to heal his wounds.

“Phew!” Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Wu Jingru was too terrified for words. Chu Yi’s situation was frightening, but that wasn’t the reason why she was terrified. What terrified her was the incredibly rapid rate at which Chu Yi’s deep wounds were healing up.

Less than 20 seconds later, Chu Yi was completely healed up. He suddenly sprung up from the floor like an energetic animal.

“You’re alright now?” asked Su Jin.

Chu Yi nodded and exhaled deeply. “I almost died!”

“What in the world happened? What could have thrashed you to this extent?” asked Xu Ran.

Chu Yi paused to think, then said, “I’m not really sure how to describe them either. Basically, a group of strange creatures appeared out of nowhere. They’re very strong and they used techniques that I’ve never seen before to attack us. Most importantly, my internal energy was actually unable to heal any of the wounds they created.”

“That’s not all, right? They were also able to replicate your techniques, right?” said Su Jin.

Chu Yi’s eyes widened and he nodded vigorously. “That’s right! Those creatures were able to replicate my Qi Thrust techniques, and I was really puzzled. How could these things possibly share the same martial arts master as myself?!”

“Nah, that’s not the reason. It’s a special power that these creatures have. I thought that the ones I ran into might have been the only ones with that ability, but it seems it’s not unique to them.” Su Jin tapped his nose with a finger.

“Of course it’s not unique to them. These creatures have appeared a number of times already. Some people I know have run into them and they were severely injured as a result,” Xu Ran piped up. “In fact, a lot of owners have already suffered at the hands of these creatures, and very few have been able to escape them. We’ve actually lost a lot of Handbook owners.”

“Do you know where these creatures have come from?” asked Situ Jin.

Xu Ran shook his head. “I have completely no idea. If I run into them myself, I could gather some information about them.”

Su Jin said, “I’m not very certain, but these rune creatures might be part of another rebel organization.”

“Another rebel organization? You mean another group that’s going against the Handbook?” asked Xu Ran.

Su Jin nodded and Xu Ran asked another question, “There are other groups besides yourself?”

“That… I’m not too sure, but the elder gods with Mai and the Mad Hatter and the others are all doing something like this, right?” Su Jin wasn’t really certain either. Both of these groups were really mysterious.

He didn’t even know whether the group of elder gods that had been recently wiped out had anything to do with Kano Mai, which really worried him. But he didn’t have any way to contact Kano Mai. He had thought about asking the Demon Lord to help, but he was afraid that their opinions would clash, so he decided against it.

At the same time, a new team had been formed. But this team had exceptionally powerful members. It consisted of the Demon Lord, the four new gods with her, as well as the mysterious man.

“How interesting.” The man smiled brightly as he looked around him. Besides the six of them, there were three owners participating in the Challenge. He turned to them and smiled as he greeted them, “Hello there!”

“Um, hello…” The three owners were a little stunned because this man didn’t seem tense at all. He looked more like he was on a holiday than being part of a Challenge.

The man said to Jing Hua, “Are you certain those little things will appear during this Challenge?”

Jing Hua nodded slightly and said, “Of course. I don’t think you need to question my calculation abilities.”

“Of course. After all, you were the one who turned so many universes upside down with that ability of yours.” It seemed like the man had recalled a nasty memory. But he clearly also had great faith in Jing Hua’s calculation abilities.

“The few of us will do, right? Any additional people are trouble.” Tiny glanced at the three owners, and before they could say anything, he waved his hand flippantly and the three owners turned to ash.

“You didn’t have to do that. It’s not easy for any living creature to live in this world. Killing too many of them is a waste,” said the man with a sigh.

Tiny glanced at him and laughed. “O Great One, I’m afraid you’re the least qualified to make such a remark. I’m nothing compared to you.”

“Things are different for me. It’s part of my job,” said the man with a smile as he took confident strides out of the safe zone of the Challenge.
