Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 386: Chapter 203: Thought Overwrite_3

”Yes, yes, he’s finally back.”

”Oh, it scared me to death. This child, I don’t know what he was up to, delayed for so long, with so many dead this time, I thought...”

Chu Xiu’s mother’s voice choked a bit, and she wiped her moist eyes, but after glancing at Chu Xiu’s tightly closed door, she smiled again.

”Thank you, Qingshan’s mom, thank you for comforting me earlier. If Ah Chu were gone, I honestly wouldn’t know what to do.”

”Ah, if the world is devoured, it’s devoured, it’s fine as long as the child survives. It’s good to cut off his thoughts; his talent at the factory is just fine; why risk the Abyss?”

”Wu Ming in class three, he had an A-level combat talent, all... sigh, Wu Ming’s mom is all alone...”

”Hmm, no more talking about it, no more talking about it. I’ll hurry to the market to buy a fish and make a big feast tonight! The child must be exhausted; he deserves a good reward. You and Qingshan should come too...”

Chu Xiu’s mother’s voice grew quieter, obviously she was walking away.

Inside the room, Chu Xiu listened to his mother’s voice, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

At his current Life Level, even in deep sleep, his strong Mental Attribute allowed him to be aware of the happenings in the Outer World at all times.

This heartfelt, unmixed concern from his mother brought warmth to Chu Xiu’s otherwise indifferent heart.

Not only Qin Xiang and Chu Xiu’s mother, but many friends also sent messages of concern, which he replied to one by one before going to bed. Perhaps it’s precisely because of these emotional bonds that Chu Xiu doesn’t become completely cold-blooded and ruthless.

Half a day later, Chu Xiu’s fatigue was completely wiped out, and about a fifth of his Energy Level was restored.

He had a meal with his parents and Qingshan’s family, with all his favorite dishes cooked; both families were very happy, celebrating the survival of the two from the Abyss.

Qingshan seemed a bit down; perhaps in his eyes, losing the Corpse Demon World would greatly impact his growth.

However, he didn’t show it; only Chu Xiu could sense this subtle emotion.

”This operation was indeed a disservice to Qingshan; I’ll find a chance for him in the future.”

”As for the Corpse Demon World... letting them think it was devoured by the Abyss is for the best.”

The Corpse Demon World had detached from the Abyss, which meant a new variable was introduced.

The Blood Pool bestowed upon him the identity of the Blood Demon Incarnation, likely wanting a thrilling escape performance, certainly not waiting for Chu Xiu to hunt the Blood Demons one by one.

If he’s not mistaken, those dormant Blood Demons will shortly awaken, triggering a world-spanning battle for the God tier, and the Blood Pool and Gods have likely started gambling on outcomes.

In such a scenario, the Corpse Demon World becomes extremely dangerous; even a King Tier can easily fall, let alone these new Awakened ones.

Letting them think that the Corpse Demon World has been devoured is for the best.

Chu Xiu quickly made up his mind.

But just as he was silently contemplating, he suddenly felt a probing gaze fall upon him.

”They’re here, just as expected!”

Chu Xiu was startled and instantly realized someone was sent to investigate him!

Fortunately, the probing gaze lingered for only a few seconds before disappearing, allowing Chu Xiu to breathe a sigh of relief.

He looked around; his parents were still chatting and laughing with Qingshan, without noticing anything amiss.

After waiting for a while more with no further activity, it seemed the person sent to investigate had already left.

”I should have successfully passed this hurdle.”

”But the recent investigator’s probing strength seemed just of General Tier, likely not the mastermind behind it, but rather someone from the Investigation Bureau.”

”After returning without success, they’ll likely send someone of a higher Tier to peer into my Attributes. I can withstand a King Tier, but a Heroic Spirit could be tricky.”

”Of course, the chance of deploying a Heroic Spirit for individual investigations is slim, and with so many targets, the Heroic Spirit probably wouldn’t detect me either.”

”But this remains a minor concern; I should ascend to General Tier as soon as possible!”

Chu Xiu was determined.

Over the next few days, as he continued to recover his state, he periodically entered instances to combat monsters and level up, maintaining his combat state and practicing the cooperative application of inherited Divine Techniques.

During this time, two more waves of investigators came, their reconnaissance Skills were detected by the automatic feedback of ”Thought Overwrite.”

This meant that Chu Xiu’s disguise had not been uncovered.

And three days later, Qin Xiang finally sent word.

The Heroic Spirit from the Investigation Bureau agreed to meet in Abyss City.
