From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Chapter 7 - 7 Awaken

Seeing Su Muyu really come close, Lu Heng noticed some changes in her character compared to her previous life.

In her previous life, Su Muyu, though gentle, would have definitely refused such an excessive request.

After all, her life had taken a 180-degree turn, and it was normal for her character to change after avoiding such a tragic fate.

The current Su Muyu was more lively and more naive, which was a good thing.

"You go back to school first. After the evening self-study is over, come and find me."

Since Su Muyu was willing to obey orders, Lu Heng decided to help her awaken ahead of time.

...

At 9:40 p.m., evening self-study ended.

Su Muyu arrived at the budget hotel on time and knocked on the door.

Before coming, she had taken a shower, put on new clothes, neatly combed her hair into a ponytail at the back of her head, and wore a blue hair clip on her forehead, holding back her bangs to reveal her forehead, which made her look even more delicate and lovely.

However, she did not wear makeup because she didn't have any cosmetics and if one was good-looking enough, makeup could be counterproductive.

Lu Heng opened the door then walked back to his desk and sat down: "Come in, close the door."

Su Muyu gently closed the door and then stood in front of Lu Heng, a bit nervous.

"Take it off," Lu Heng said as he looked down and opened a drawer, as if making an offhand remark.

"..."

Su Muyu's expression stiffened, and her face turned red once again. Hesitantly, she fumbled with the buttons of her top, unable to unbutton even one for a long time.

Lu Heng took out an anti-stab vest from the drawer, handed it to her, and said, "Take off your jacket and try this on, see if it fits."

Su Muyu then realized she had misunderstood and her face turned even redder. She quickly bent down, took off her outerwear, put on the anti-stab vest, and mumbled,

"It fits... it fits quite well..."

After that, Lu Heng took out a Demon Crystal Core and placed it on the table: "This is called a Demon Crystal Core, it can awaken humans into superpower users, but it comes with a great cost..."

This Demon Crystal Core was the same one that Gong Chusheng took out before he died.

Lu Heng was halfway through speaking when he stared into her eyes, and, after a moment, said: "Once you become a superpower user, every so often, you will be drawn into the Abyss Battlefield by a mysterious force unknown and fight against various Abyss Demons.

"If you are defeated in battle, you will die.

"So, think carefully about whether or not you want to use it. Once you decide, there is no turning back."

Su Muyu's chest rose and fell slightly and, after some serious thought, she asked, "If I choose not to become a superpower user, what do we do as the number of Abyss Demons increases?"

Lu Heng explained to her in a calm tone the future of the human world after the Abyss Descent:

"The more demons there are, the humans' living space will be continuously reduced.

"However, you can always live in the highest security level human cities.

"As long as you keep yourself in a position of value, you can live safely for the rest of your life."

Su Muyu furrowed her brows and pressed further, "What if one can't always be of value?"

"When all the power users who fight against the demons die, those without other value will be thrown by the upper rulers to combat the demons."

Pausing for a moment, Lu Heng added, "Your grades are excellent. After getting into a good university, try to transfer into a major that studies the Abyss World, you should be able to secure residency in a highest security level base city as a scientific re

Su Muyu didn't play games often, but she could understand the general effects by looking at the data on the panel: "What about my Talent? Judging by the name of this Talent, does it belong to the Reconnaissance type of ability?"

"Right, it depends on whether you want to develop in the direction of the Perception System or not," Lu Heng did not want to limit her will.

"I'll listen to you." Su Muyu didn't know which direction to develop in, but she knew what she wanted.

After asking about the data, Lu Heng brought up the most critical question: "The most important point, does your data panel have a countdown for the Abyss Battlefield?"

"Yes, the countdown is 1 hour 23 minutes 45 seconds," Su Muyu nodded, then asked, "What is this countdown for?"

Hearing there was a countdown, Lu Heng was briefly taken aback because her summons countdown was the same as his own.

Normally, the chance of being summoned to the Abyss Battlefield was not high.

It was very rare for someone like Su Muyu, who had just awakened, with almost no preparation time, to be summoned.

Lu Heng still had a little more than an hour left on his own countdown. He had originally planned to help her awaken first, then survive an Abyss Battlefield himself, and come back later to guide her.

Unexpectedly, she was directly summoned.
