Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 104: 103: Measuring the Human Snake
[You encounter a special target: Measuring snake-freezing children. ]

[The Monster Encyclopedia is opened, and the information about the human-snake is successfully unlocked. 】

[Snake that measures people: There are snakes in the secular world that like to measure people, are good at changing, like to eat people, and imitate people's movements to replace them. ]

[You came into contact with and fought against the human snake-Frozen Child, and successfully copied abilities from him-for example. ]

[Like (green): Life is like this, some have wine and meat in the rich houses, and some have withered bones on the roadside. There is no right or wrong, and you can only be reborn again. Resilience +2, eyesight +2. ]

Fragmented information flooded into his mind, and Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that the revolving lantern after obtaining the other party's ability appeared again.

The sky is dark and the world is gray.

Switch view.

In the pouring snow, a child was walking alone on the snow. His clothes were tattered and had holes in many places. The cold wind blew and his skin was frozen and swollen.

The snow was covered with small footprints of a child, and people passing by would look at the child from time to time. They all knew that after this heavy snow, the child would probably no longer be there.

Although it is a bit hard to bear, everyone knows how cold the winter is in this world. Being able to ensure that they and their families can successfully survive this winter is already a blessing from the previous life. How could they possibly bring another child home?

The child was walking alone on the snow, when suddenly a rich man came towards him.

The other person was wearing gorgeous and warm clothes, with emerald pearls around her neck and pure gold rings on her fingers. These were things he could only dream of but could not.

He looked at the rich man with expectant eyes, praying that he would give him some money, even just a few copper coins, which might help him survive this snowy night.

Seeing his look, the rich man took out a silver bean from his sleeve and threw it to him.

The child happily took it, knelt on the ground and kowtowed joyfully, while the rich man laughed and walked past the child.

However, not long after the child took the silver beans, they were snatched away by a beggar lurking in the corner. He looked at the beggar who was taller than him, then turned back to look at the rich man who only left his back in the cold wind, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He continued walking on the windy and snowy road, but his steps became more and more like the rich man he had seen before, and even his arrogant expression became more and more similar.

He strung the garbage around his neck, made a ring out of dead vines, lifted his thin cheeks, and puffed out his shriveled belly.

The cold snowflakes fell on his face. Even though his feet were so frozen that he couldn't walk anymore, he still walked towards the warm home in his mind in the heavy snow.

People in the world are like this. Sometimes what we compare is not our own status, but our desire to become that outstanding person.

The child ultimately did not survive the snowy night and died in front of a rich man's house.

However, he still maintained the demeanor and movements of the rich man he had learned, and except for his clothes and jewelry, he was exactly the same as the one he had seen.

……

Information poured into Lin Beixuan's mind like fragments of a mirror, and he completely mastered the other party's abilities.

New entry added: eyesight.

People with strong eyesight are not only smart and sharp, good at observing subtle details, but can also see farther and enhance their ability to learn and imitate.

Lin Beixuan found that he could see farther, and at the same time his vision became deeper, allowing him to detect the slightest movements of the people around him.

Although it is only two points of vision, the effect is extremely significant.

“Clack, clack…”

The sharp knife cut the throat, and the figure who looked similar to Feng Xinnan let out a "huh" sound from his mouth, and blood gushed out, flowing all over the ground.

At this moment, a monster with extremely long limbs, covered with soft scales, and a purple-blue snake-like appearance broke free from the body with a cut throat and grabbed Lin Beixuan with its backhand. It cried like a child, sharp and piercing, and with some kind of irritating strange power.

Feng Xinnan found that the feeling of stagnation on his body disappeared instantly. He was overjoyed and quickly took action to launch a sneak attack on the opponent while the human snake was attacking Lin Beixuan. An invisible force condensed in his palms, distorting the air around him.

Xiawuluanjin, like the city and the underworld, is a combination of names for certain things, which are mixed with many tricks.

Different from the strange methods used by the Liu family in weddings and funerals, Feng Xinnan's approach is based on martial arts.

Practicing external Kung Fu, strengthening muscles, bones, blood and flesh, condensing inner energy, not bound by strict laws, just to satisfy one's thoughts and to avenge one's enemies.

Once I punch you, either you die or I live.

It works wonders on humans, but it has difficulty dealing with evil spirits and ghosts, and one must rely on certain specific secret methods and Taoist tools.

Of course, their approach is fine in the chaotic world of the secular world, and the government rarely intervenes. But it is different in the modern world. If you dare to seek revenge, disregard the law, and make trouble by relying on your ability, you will be rewarded with a few peanuts.

Science is the key in this world. No matter whether you are a knight-errant or a street warrior, or a high priest or some charlatan, we are all carbon-based creatures. One bullet will make everyone equal.

This was also the method used by the authorities in the beginning, when their own secular power was not strong, to deal with those secular people who loved to use violence to hurt others. Although it was simple, it was effective.

If it were not impossible to bring worldly things into the secular world, those man-eating monsters transformed from spirits would have faced more than just Taoist magic swords and thunder talismans.

Therefore, the authorities will be more strict in managing the people in the martial arts halls, because they may do good things sometimes, but their trouble-making nature must be strictly managed.

Feng Xinnan gathered his internal energy in his palm at this time, and was ready to attack the snake-like creature, but suddenly he saw Lin Beixuan pinching the back of the snake-like creature's neck, and lifted up the two-meter-tall monster with one hand and smashed it to the ground, muttering silently.

"Since you were so pitiful when you were alive, I will let you be free sooner now!"

Feng Xinnan saw Lin Beixuan holding down the entire body of the snake with one hand, and a white blade flashed, instantly cutting off the opponent's grabbing arm.

What’s even more bizarre is that the two arms were difficult to heal after being cut off.

You know, he had used his inner energy to break the snake's arm before, but Lin Beixuan just randomly found a fruit-cutting knife and cut off the snake's arm.

The contrast almost made Feng Xinnan doubt what he had learned. He wondered if he had chosen the wrong master. He should have chosen Tiandao as his master.

Then, the last flash of knife light appeared, and the sharp white tip of the knife pierced into the head of the human snake.

Lin Beixuan took a breath, stood up, and smiled at Feng Xinnan.

However, Lin Beixuan's self-proclaimed gentle smile was like a man-eating evil spirit in Feng Xinnan's eyes, grinning grimly at him. Subconsciously, his muscles tensed up to maintain his strength.

"I hope I won't lose money with these seven points."

"..."

"Not a loss, not a loss!" Feng Xinnan swallowed his saliva and couldn't help nodding.

Lin Beixuan was extremely satisfied and stretched his stiff waist.

He just entered the state of transit for a moment through the purple jade gourd, and was able to take down the man-measuring snake in an instant. Otherwise, relying solely on the strength brought by his fate and the ability gained from copying, he might not be able to take down the man-measuring snake so quickly.

[You killed the human-measuring snake-Frozen Child, successfully saved him, and obtained 50-year-old coins. ]

[You killed the Measurer Snake and obtained the item dropped by the Measurer Snake after its death: Eye of Observation.]

[Eye of Observation (White): An eyeball that gathers the essence of the human snake's talent. When placed in a certain place, it can monitor all areas within the field of vision.]
