Chapter 55 Serial Tasks
The girl jumped silently all of a sudden, stunning and shocking everyone.
But then Lin Tian suddenly dashed forward, reaching straight for the girl's arm, and then he, too, was pulled down by the girl, falling from the building to everyone's even greater surprise.
"Ah!" Some girls screamed instinctively.
"Look!" Someone suddenly pointed up and yelled from the base of the building.
All eyes turned downward, and then they saw the girl jump suddenly, and at the same moment an arm reached out to grab her, and then that person was pulled out into the air as well.
Falling from the building too!
All onlookers were dumbfounded by the sight!
They're done for!
Everyone thought the two of them were goners!
Both of them doomed.
At the moment Wang Xia jumped, she had braced herself for death, but in that moment, her heart was very calm, even with a hint of relief.
For her at this time, death was not so terrible.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
But what she didn't expect was that the moment she jumped, someone grabbed her arm.
Wang Xia felt her body hang in the air for a moment before continuing to fall downward. At the same time, the owner of the hand was falling with her.
A trace of surprise flickered through Wang Xia's dazed expression as she looked up in astonishment. She saw a young boy, who seemed about her age.
"So foolish!" Wang Xia murmured softly. Despite that, a touch of gratitude shone in her eyes.
Feeling his body plummeting rapidly, Lin Tian had no mind to care what others thought. He mentally cursed out loud: "Shit! Shit! How could this happen!"
Lin Tian had not anticipated that his charge would be too fast, causing him to be pulled down as well.
This wasn't the version of the plan he had in mind!
It's over!
If he fell from the eighteenth floor, he'd be dead for sure, even with the strength of eighteen men!
The "Ox Power Technique" was not invincible; it just gave Lin Tian the strength of a bull, and not just Lin Tian, even a bull falling from the eighteenth floor would be surely dead.
"Shit! I don't want to die!" Roaring out loud, Lin Tian's hand violently reached forward to grab!
Snatch!
Lin Tian's arm caught a railing!
Lin Tian gripped it fiercely!
Rip~!
The immense force of the fall bent the silver railing!
But even so, Lin Tian's body stopped falling, and Wang Xia, who was held by Lin Tian's hand, stopped as well.
By this time, they were at the twelfth floor.
This scene left everyone in shock!
"Damn! How is that possible?" someone below said, stupefied. Could this even work?
"Rip~!" The railing Lin Tian was holding onto made a terrible tearing sound.
The railing was severely deformed and starting to break.
"Damn, not like this!" Lin Tian's hand tightened slowly, pulling himself up gradually, his gaze fixed on the railing.
Lin Tian's body rose slowly, meantime the deformed railing bowed further, its crack widening.
"Shit!" Lin Tian cursed under his breath as he hoisted his body upward slowly, not daring to apply too much force at once.
But just as Lin Tian was climbing up swiftly, there was a sudden 'bang.' The railing snapped.
Lin Tian's body fell again with a whoosh.
"Your sister!" Lin Tian cursed, stretching his hand out to grab desperately once more.
Snatch!
Fortunately, he caught another railing.
This was the eleventh floor's railing.
"Damn it!" Lin Tian cursed through clenched teeth, veins popping on his hands, as he pulled his body up with all his might.
The eleventh-floor railing, though somewhat deformed under Lin Tian's pull, could fully withstand the force of both Lin Tian and Wang Xia.
Lin Tian slowly hoisted himself up, gradually climbing onto the eleventh-floor balcony. After climbing up, Lin Tian pulled Wang Xia up with one hand.
"Huff!" After pulling Wang Xia up, Lin Tian collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily, his expression showing a touch of lingering fear.
Scared!
Lin Tian had truly been scared just now!
If he had really fallen to the ground from above, he might have died just like that!
Too dangerous, it was too dangerous!
"Huff!" Breathing heavily, Lin Tian took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
After several deep breaths, Lin Tian stood up, glanced at the girl who was also sitting on the ground looking a bit bewildered, made sure she wouldn't jump off the building again, and hurriedly turned around to leave.
Lin Tian intended to leave this place immediately.
He had been compelled to display his great strength just now; surely someone below had captured the scene on their phones.
Lin Tian didn't want any trouble.
Lin Tian didn't want to become famous; he didn't want anyone paying too much attention to him because it involved his supernatural abilities.
So after resting for a while, before those people made it up, Lin Tian turned and quickly left.
Exiting the balcony, he found the residents were out, so Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly left through the front door.
On top of that, Lin Tian felt somewhat relieved that the building's hallway didn't have cameras.
Arriving at the staircase, Lin Tian quickly descended.
Since he took the stairs, Lin Tian amazingly went unnoticed.
Once Lin Tian had put some distance between himself and the building, ensuring no one had spotted him, he finally stopped.
At the same time, an electronic synthesized voice echoed in his mind: "Task completed: Reward 1 Supernatural Point."
Hearing this voice, a flicker of joy passed through Lin Tian's heart. He breathed a sigh of relief; the task was finally complete. If he had taken such a risk and the task hadn't been completed, Lin Tian would have been at a huge loss!
But just when Lin Tian thought it was over and was about to leave, another electronic synthesized voice sounded in his mind: "Chain follow-up task: Fulfill Wang Xia's wish. Task Reward: One Supernatural Point. Task Failure Penalty: Deduction of two Supernatural Points!"
Hearing this voice, Lin Tian froze, a look of astonishment flickering across his face, "A chain task?"
There was actually a chain task? And if it's not completed, it would even deduct Supernatural Points?
How could this be?
This kind of task, Lin Tian had never encountered before.
He remained stunned for a moment before turning his head with some bewilderment, looking towards the building where the girl was.
On this look, Lin Tian was taken aback again.
A red dot!
In Lin Tian's vision, there was a red dot that appeared a bit blurry, seemingly resembling the model of a girl.
"Even the red light has changed." Seeing the flickering red dot in his line of sight, Lin Tian was somewhat curious.
In the past, Lin Tian could only see the flashing red light on a person when he actually saw them.
But with this chain task, even through walls, Lin Tian could see that red dot. That meant no matter where the person was, Lin Tian could find them.
Any distance at all?
A doubt flashed through Lin Tian's mind. Then, he closed his eyes and focused, hoping the system would answer his question.
Several seconds later, Lin Tian opened his eyes. By then, he had confirmed his suspicion.
This chain task indeed was somewhat different; the task target's flashing red light was unlike the single tasks that could only be seen with the naked eye—Lin Tian could locate this chain task target, no matter how far away, through any barrier.
"Since it's like that, there's no rush, and if I go now, I'll definitely be discovered. Now's the time to check on Qianqian." After thinking it over, Lin Tian walked towards a taxi not far away.
Lin Tian was not in a hurry to take on the subsequent task. There were surely many people around that girl now. At the same time, Lin Tian was also worried about He Qianqian and was afraid she would go looking for Zhong Han at night.
Even though he could determine He Qianqian's location through his phone, not seeing her in person still left Lin Tian somewhat anxious.
After getting into the cab and giving the driver an address, Lin Tian took out his phone and dialed He Qianqian's number.
"Hello, Qianqian..."
Two minutes later, Lin Tian hung up the call.
Through the phone call, Lin Tian confirmed that He Qianqian was at home, and he also noticed that He Qianqian's emotions had stabilized quite a bit.
Nevertheless, despite this, Lin Tian still decided to go and see for himself.
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in the vicinity of He Qianqian's residential area.
Finding a deserted corner, Lin Tian turned invisible and headed towards He Qianqian's home.
Forty minutes later, Lin Tian exited the residential area and dispelled his invisibility in a secluded corner.
"Qianqian is fine, now the only thing left is to resolve that chain task." By the time he left, He Qianqian was preparing for bed. Assured that He Qianqian was safe for the night, Lin Tian decided to tackle the subsequent task.
With this in mind, Lin Tian looked around and eventually his gaze settled in the northeast direction.
In that direction, a red dot was flashing faintly.
Having confirmed the direction, Lin Tian hailed a cab and drove towards where the red dot was flashing.
Half an hour later, Lin Tian arrived in front of a household, staring at the tightly closed door with an expression that seemed somewhat troublesome.
In Lin Tian's vision, the red dot was inside here. But the door of the house was locked.
After pondering in front of the door for a while, Lin Tian turned and swiftly ran down to the ground floor.
Lin Tian wandered around the lawn below for a bit when his eyes suddenly lit up.
Lin Tian discovered that the girl was actually sitting in front of the window sill, propping up her chin with her hand, staring off into space, lost in thought.
The girl's floor wasn't high, it was only the second floor; a light call from Lin Tian would reach her ears.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian hurried over to the window sill, softly calling out, "Hey!"
The girl didn't react!
"Hey!" Lin Tian called out once more.
This time, the girl finally responded, looking down with a puzzled expression.
Upon seeing him, she was somewhat stunned.
Even though she glanced at Lin Tian only once, his face was deeply etched in her memory. She remembered he was the boy who saved her.
Why had he come?
Seeing that Wang Xia had noticed him, Lin Tian appeared somewhat excited.
After a moment of thought, he quickly stepped forward and rapidly climbed the balcony where the girl was with his hands and feet.
With Lin Tian's current strength, climbing a building was a piece of cake.
Wang Xia watched curiously as Lin Tian climbed, not stopping him.
"Whew!" Once Lin Tian climbed up, he let out a breath of relief, patted the dust off his clothes, and said with a smile, "This makes talking a bit easier."
Wang Xia looked at Lin Tian with a trace of curiosity in her gaze, not uttering a word.
Lin Tian looked around, then took a seat on a chair he found for himself, smiling at Wang Xia, "Why are you like this? If you have a wish, I can help you fulfill it!"
Wang Xia looked at Lin Tian, not speaking, only a calm look in her eyes that now had a tinge of pain.
After waiting a while, Wang Xia still did not reply.
Helplessly, Lin Tian finally said, "If you have a wish, speak up, I can make it happen." After saying this, afraid the girl wouldn't believe him, Lin Tian added assertively, "Really."
Silently observing Lin Tian for a while, the girl gently shook her head, whispering, "You can't help me."
It was only then that Lin Tian realized the girl's voice was actually very pleasant, as if it were a wind chime.
Stunned for a moment, Lin Tian snapped back to reality, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes—just getting her to speak was good. He then eagerly pressed, "Just say it, how do you know I can't help you if you don't speak!"
The girl looked at Lin Tian, shook her head gently, and remained silent.
"Why are you being like this, just say it, I'm really quite powerful!" Lin Tian kept pestering her.
...
Ten minutes later, completely worn down by Lin Tian's insistence, the girl looked at Lin Tian once more and spoke, "I want to kill someone!"
"To kill someone?" Lin Tian was taken aback.
Murder! This was a task Lin Tian had never even considered.
Lin Tian was not the type who killed indiscriminately.
Hesitating, Lin Tian then asked, "Who do you want to kill?"
"A man named Zhong Han!" The girl looked at Lin Tian with a calm gaze. She had never really believed that Lin Tian could fulfill such a wish. She had only spoken up because he had been so persistent.
"Zhong Han?" Hearing this name, Lin Tian was stunned, and with some astonishment, he said, "You mean the Zhong Han from Wang An Group?"
