Chapter 196: The Only Hidden Profession, The Corpse Collector!
A sunny afternoon.
Hu Qibin suddenly woke up and found himself lying in a strange bedroom. The half-open window and the curtains fluttering in the breeze left him momentarily dazed.
“What’s this?”
“Didn’t I just get killed by the Shadow and appear in some Judgment Realm?”
“I should still be in some fugitive scenario, right?”
“Why am I here again?”
Hu Qibin looked around and realized everything felt extremely real. It was as though he had returned to the real world.
Instinctively, he reached for his phone, but found it wasn’t nearby. Just as he was about to get up and go outside to check the situation…
Suddenly…
The bedroom door was violently kicked open from the outside.
A hulking, muscular man appeared at the doorway, grinning a disgusting, wicked smile as he looked at Hu Qibin.
This muscular man had a beer bottle in his left hand and a baseball bat in his right—making Hu Qibin feel a sense of déjà vu.
Wasn’t this exactly the same set of tools he had used during his crimes?!
“Uh… who are you?”
Hu Qibin froze, a sense of dread creeping into his mind.
Before he could react, the muscular man quickly crossed the room, grabbed Hu Qibin’s fat body, and tossed him onto the bed…
…
“Goddamn…”
Qin Feng felt like his eyes were going blind.
He quickly withdrew from the illusion.
He could already predict what would happen next—Hu Qibin would be cruelly tortured to death first!
And then…
Hu Qibin would wake up in that same room again.
He would once more face the same scene.
An endless cycle of reincarnation!
Hellish torment!
“Now, here’s the real question.”
“Why is the abuser in this illusion Brother Jie?”
Qin Feng still remembered Brother Jie quite well.
He was a powerhouse from the Guanggang area! The only hidden profession, “Muscle Warrior,” who had made it into the global top 500 in his later years—his ranking was similar to Gu Yixue’s.
However…
“Isn’t it the worst luck for Brother Jie to be the one to take action against this fat bastard?”
Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
Although he didn’t fully understand the default judgment “program” of the Judgment Blade, one thing was certain—Hu Qibin had certainly received the punishment he deserved.
Of course.
There was still one thing that made Qin Feng particularly curious.
That was…
In Hu Qibin’s memories, Qin Feng discovered another figure.
“Hu Qibin only forced people to kill, but he never destroyed the bodies afterward.”
“Every time he committed a crime, he would notify someone named ‘Gao Daxia’ within the game to come and handle the bodies…”
Even Hu Qibin himself had never seen this Gao Daxia!
Once, Hu Qibin tried to sneak around and observe how the bodies were disposed of.
However, when he was hiding in the stairwell, he suddenly heard a chilling voice:
“What’s this? Do you want to become a corpse too?”
That nearly scared Hu Qibin half to death.
After that, he never dared to meddle again, only privately complaining about how sick and twisted it was for someone to be interested in corpses.
Given Hu Qibin’s knowledge, he had no idea who this person was.
But based on Hu Qibin’s memories of interacting with this person, and combining that with his own knowledge from his past life…
Qin Feng immediately recognized the identity of this person!
“Gao Daxia—wasn’t he the Corpse Collector?”
The Corpse Collector!
That was a unique hidden profession, and by the time Qin Feng had acquired the Ancient God’s Eye in his previous life, this person was already ranked 82nd globally—one of the top-tier powerhouses!
At that time, Qin Feng himself had only been ranked 99th globally.
“Up until now, I’ve encountered Guiling, who had consistently been in the top 10 globally in my past life…”
“And An Yu, whose ranking had generally stayed between 15th and 18th globally.”
“Others are still a bit lacking.”
“But this Corpse Collector, his strength in the later stages was indeed formidable.”
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.
He recalled the official reports from his previous life about this person.
It was said that the Corpse Collector could obtain a target’s talent by collecting their corpse, but he could only store one talent at a time…
If the corpse was collected within the game, the talent would have a time limit.
However, if a corpse was collected in the real world, the talent would be permanent!
Naturally, the higher the target’s talent, the lower the probability of the Corpse Collector obtaining that talent…
“This guy stumbled upon Hu Qibin killing people by accident and repeatedly used him to commit murders. After Hu Qibin left, he would sneak in, collect the bodies, and take them away…”
“How cautious of him.”
If the Corpse Collector had directly committed the murders, there was a risk of being exposed, especially as the officials’ search capabilities grew stronger.
He might even be caught red-handed during the act.
But if he waited for someone else to do the killing and only collected the bodies afterward…
Even if he were caught, it wouldn’t be considered a major crime!
“If I hadn’t been able to access Hu Qibin’s memories, I would never have known that these cases were being manipulated by this guy behind the scenes…”
Qin Feng thought for a moment.
In his previous life, the Corpse Collector had never been on the official wanted list of the Daxia government, because he was extremely discreet and had never been caught doing anything illegal.
“However, just because he hasn’t been caught doesn’t mean he hasn’t done anything wrong.”
“In my previous life, many places in Daxia saw incidents of powerful individuals being killed and their bodies disappearing—these were likely connected to this guy, but no one could ever find any evidence…”
Qin Feng glanced at the system prompt from earlier.
“Judging Hu Qibin gave me a 6-point increase to my divine essence cap, as well as a 6% increase in basic attributes.”
“This cost-benefit ratio seems decent. I should judge more people to figure out the kind of targets that will provide more rewards…”
Qin Feng decided to make the Corpse Collector his next judgment target.
Originally, he wouldn’t have known where the Corpse Collector was.
But…
From Hu Qibin’s memories, he learned that this guy had already targeted Yang Xiaoya, even confirming her residence in the same apartment she had rented when working previously!
He was planning to make his move on her tonight!
In fact, for people like Yang Xiaoya, who had been friends or guildmates in his previous life, Qin Feng had no intention of reaching out to them, let alone babysitting them…
After all, he had led the Godslayer Guild, with tens of thousands of members!
Even just those who were on good terms with him numbered in the hundreds.
There was no way Qin Feng could protect each and every one of them.
And Qin Feng’s guild recruited only those with strong capabilities, so he wasn’t worried about them in this life.
This included Yang Xiaoya!
The girl seemed delicate and weak, always backing down when problems arose, but her combat strength was no joke.
If Hu Qibin really tried to mess with her, he might end up getting killed by her in return…
“Hu Qibin already gave the address to the Corpse Collector, and mentioned he would make his move tonight.”
“Although I’m not sure of the exact time, perhaps…”
“The Corpse Collector will stake out the area?”
“Tonight, I’ll send Guiling to check it out—maybe we’ll get something.”
As for Qin Feng himself, he would continue farming monsters and hunting bosses!
…
At that very moment.
What Qin Feng didn’t know was that, in the ruins of Magic City, at the Feike Heavy Industries hideout in the “Magic Tower,” an unexpected guest had arrived!
It was a skinny, frail old man, wrapped in a black robe, resembling a Soul Hall elder.
When he arrived, Huang Ziqing, the current guild leader of Feike Heavy Industries, quickly appeared at the door!
“Welcome, Corpse Collector.”
Huang Ziqing, his eyes sunken and looking considerably thinner, saw the black-robed old man and immediately sent a friend request.
Then, in a private message, he asked: “You said you can see through the Shadow’s invisibility?”
