Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 103: Everything Makes Sense Now!

Chapter 103: Everything Makes Sense Now!

"A spider… dead?"

A thousand miles away from Dragon Soar Internet Cafe, deep inside a construction site, a corpse lying in a coffin suddenly opened its eyes.

"Hah… Useless fool. Couldn’t even kill a measly Instructor-Rank… Let’s see what happened."

Closing his eyes, he activated a secret technique.

Above his head, a wailing ghostly remnant of the Human-Faced Spider dissipated into nothingness.

At the same time, his mind was flooded with the last five minutes of the spider’s vision.

A girl placing a talisman on the internet cafe’s door.

Vision zooming in—

A thunderous explosion of blinding white light.

Then—agony.

Even now, the holy aura left in the spider’s spirit had yet to fully disperse.

"Tsk."

The corpse puppet reached up and dug out his burnt eyeballs, casually tossing them aside.

Inside his eye sockets, flesh wriggled, quickly regenerating two fresh new eyes.

"A new face… Seems like Tianfu District’s Demon Slayers Bureau picked up a promising recruit.

This power… it’s strong.

And highly effective against my kind."

"Should I eliminate him now?"

Murderous intent flashed in his gaze.

But then, he thought of his unfinished plans and suppressed it.

"Forget it. If we cross paths in the future, I’ll simply deal with him then."

…

Lin Lingling suddenly shivered, rubbing her neck.

For some reason, her nape felt ice-cold.

But that wasn’t important.

She gritted her teeth and pushed away a massive fallen couch.

And there—

She found Chen Huai’an, half-buried under rubble, his butt sticking up in the air.

"Chen Huai’an! Are you—are you okay?!"

She scrambled to pull him out, arms and legs flailing.

"Not bad. Didn’t die."

Chen Huai’an let Lin Lingling help him up, then looked around at the surrounding wreckage with lingering fear.

Sixty percent of the second floor had collapsed.

The room he had been in?

Nearly obliterated.

Only the exact spot he had been hiding remained untouched.

What kind of dogshit luck was this?

If he had fallen through, he would’ve been hospitalized for months.

"Good, good. You’re fine."

Lin Lingling gave him a once-over, only relaxing after confirming he was uninjured.

Chen Huai’an raised an eyebrow.

Did this girl actually care about him?

Then again—

He was insanely handsome.

Of course girls were interested.

Hahaha!

Standing tall, he placed his hands on his hips—

Only for Lin Lingling to sigh dramatically and mutter,

"If you died, where the hell would I find another job that’s this easy and pays this well?"

Chen Huai’an: "…"

"By the way, how was the talisman? Worked well?"

"Middle! Middle as hell!"

Lin Lingling’s usual deadpan expression brightened with excitement.

She eagerly gestured with her hands, mimicking her own movements—

"I just slapped it on—bam!

And that spider? Dead as a doornail!"

"This talisman costs 100,000 yuan per piece."

Chen Huai’an pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to her.

"I know you’re just a middle schooler with no money.

But as a future shining star of the Demon Slayers Bureau, you’ll be loaded someday!

Just sign this IOU—pay me back whenever you feel like it."

"O-One hundred thousand?!"

Lin Lingling’s eyes went huge.

Sure, being called the ‘shining star’ made her happy, but—

But not 100,000 yuan happy!

She pleadingly looked at Chen Huai’an.

"Can’t you… you know, maybe…"

"No."

"Big bro~"

"Still no. Not even if you called me Onii-chan."

Chen Huai’an’s eyes were merciless.

His heart belonged to Qingran.

Which meant—every cent mattered!

"Cough, cough, cough…"

A series of weak, pained coughs came from the first-floor wreckage.

Chen Huai’an and Lin Lingling looked down.

They heard a feeble voice groaning,

"Can you two finish your conversation after you pull me out?"

…

…

"Brother Huai’an, I owe you one. If you hadn’t shown up, I don’t even wanna think about what would’ve happened."

Missing an entire arm, the bearded guy leaned against the wall, looking at Chen Huai’an and Lin Lingling with genuine gratitude.

Then—

His eyes gleamed with hope.

"Are you… planning to join the Demon Slayers Bureau?"

"Our organization is amazing, you know!

We have a guaranteed salary, and we teach breathing techniques!

All you have to do is one mission per month!"

Chen Huai’an smiled benevolently, then asked,

"If I joined, could I investigate why my parents’ compensation was stolen and get everyone involved sentenced to death?"

"...Huh?"

The bearded guy froze, then hesitated,

"Uh… we don’t exactly have jurisdiction over that.

But don’t worry!

As our influence grows, we’ll eventually have enough power to help you get justice!"

He genuinely believed that.

With breathing techniques now cracked, the Awakened raised by certain elites would soon be outmatched by Bureau-trained Demon Slayers.

As their authority increased, outside forces would have less and less control over them.

When that time came, helping Chen Huai’an settle a grudge would be nothing.

But—

Chen Huai’an just chuckled coldly and shook his head.

"Forget it. This world still seems way too peaceful.

I think I’ll wait a little longer."

"...Not even interested in breathing techniques?"

"Nope."

Seeing his firm stance, the bearded guy didn’t push further.

He understood—this wasn’t something that could be persuaded away.

"Fine… by the way, the Human-Faced Spider was a wanted criminal.

You get the bounty—20,000 yuan.

I’ll submit the report. You’ll have the money by tonight."

…

"Lin Lingling, tell me more about those breathing techniques."

Watching the bearded guy get loaded into an ambulance, Chen Huai’an turned to Triple Zero with curiosity.

He wasn’t completely uninterested.

These techniques felt similar to the internal energy cultivation methods of Cangyun Realm.

"What are you up to?"

Lin Lingling took a step back, wary.

"Breathing techniques aren’t allowed to be shared.

I’ve got a chip in my brain—if I reveal them, I’ll explode!"

Chen Huai’an remained unfazed.

"If you guys want me to join the Bureau, don’t you at least need to explain the benefits?"

Lin Lingling thought for a moment.

That was fair.

So she admitted,

"I don’t know much either.

I only got the Prologue and Volume 1.

The Prologue helps Awakened open all their meridians—that’s the foundation.

Volume 1 teaches ‘Qi Absorption’—but you can’t use it without open meridians."

"…I see."

Chen Huai’an narrowed his eyes, rubbing his chin.

Lin Lingling grinned smugly.

"So? Interested in joining now?"

She casually threw a palm strike at a nearby tree.

The sheer force shook several leaves loose.

"Check it out! I haven’t even mastered Qi Absorption, and I’m already this strong!"

Chen Huai’an didn’t respond.

His eyes shone with excitement.

Then—

He suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly.

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Everything made sense now.

Why had his right leg felt so powerful during mountain climbing?

Why had his spiritual stone bracelet dimmed over time?

Because—

By pure dumb luck, he had poked his right leg with an Acupuncture Needle—

And accidentally opened a meridian.

Now—

It was time to open them all.

Chen Huai’an turned and sprinted home.

The age of Tumor Superman was over.

Now—

Immortal Chen was about to rise.
