Devil's Son-in-Law

Although intimidated by this bizarre script, Chen Rui still maintained a considerable degree of calmness in his mind.

This world gave Chen Rui a very realistic feeling. The amount of spirit power displayed by Alucier was obviously superior to him, so he couldn’t forcibly escape from the illusion.

However, there is no perfect existence in this world. This illusion world is the same. It is the mental framework of the entire illusion that really works. As for these acquaintances, they are just illusions reflected from the mental framework. The missions and events are definitely different if another person enters this place. But no matter how it changes, the basic ‘framework’ that constructs this world will not change. As long as I find the node, I can break the framework and completely shatter these illusions.

The best way is to integrate into this illusion and find the node.

“Don’t be distracted!” Raphael yelled, and he stepped forward in time to block Paglio who just passed through Chen Rui with the ball.

Due to Raphael’s backup, Roman, whom he was marking, was left unmarked. Paglio immediately passed the ball to Roman, and Roman jumped up without thinking. Moore who was marking Michael rushed over to block. However, Roman didn’t shoot after jumping. He passed the ball to Moore under the basket.

There were no defenders in front of Moore, and he slammed the ball into the basket easily. The students watching the game immediately applauded.

“Are you all right?” Michael patted Chen Rui on the shoulder, “Why are you a little absent-minded? That woman is a trivial matter. Some of these guys actually dare to take the initiative to pick things up. We must let them know how powerful we, brothers, are. Stay focus and don’t lose to these guys.”

Brothers? Okay. Chen Rui resisted the strange feeling in his mind and nodded.

Although Chen Rui was a half otaku in his previous life, he had always been a basketball lover, but his skill was very ordinary. He liked to watch the NBA with a few of his friends, then they commended on the game together. They bragged and trash talked as if those superstars were rookies, and they would play thousand times better.

In this illusion, there was no peak stage of the Pseudo-God, but the perception and movement ability of this body were quite outstanding among ordinary people. If his basketball skill in the previous life on Earth was 50%, his current skill might be between 80% and 90%.

The score became 1-0. Roman started to serve again. Paglio caught the ball and broke through Chen Rui easily again. Just when the poison dragon decisively jumped up to shoot, a hand appeared above and slammed the basketball off his hand out of the bound. It was Chen Rui.

Chen Rui grinned, “Hey, want to get through me? A blockshot for you.”

The chance to take on the poison dragon in basketball is one of a kind. Since I still can’t find the flaw of this illusion, let’s just enjoy it.

Paglio snorted as he ran over to re-serve. Although the blockshot was done beautifully, the applause was sparse. It was in stark contrast to the previous score by Paglio’s side.

Chen Rui looked at the direction of the applause, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead. Except for Tezaneer Chick, there were also a few familiar faces such as Satan, Python, Abaddon, Sariel and Satan. They were even whistling.

All right. Anyway, even Tiffany can be an enemy and Michael can be a best friend in this distorted world. What else is unacceptable? Good thing that the Python chick is still on my side.

The game continued. Despite Paglio’s hard work and the support of most of the audience, the Chen Rui trio’s skill was superior. They finally won the game with a score of 10-6.

“The 3 strongest members of the sports department are nothing more than that. I shouldn’t go all out. At least, we can play a little longer.” Raphael took a sip of his drink and looked at the 3 people opposite him contemptuously. His ability to draw hatred was not inferior to that of another world.

With livid faces, Paglio pulled Roman who was about to come up to beat him up. He gave Chen Rui a fierce look, “You won. I admit defeat. I won’t care about anything between you and Athena from now on!”

Thinking of Tiffany’s attitude toward him before, Chen Rui felt a strange feeling in his mind. Just as he was about to speak, Paglio and the rest had already turned and left. The surrounding audience also left.

“Let’s go to ‘Happy Hour’ to celebrate at night.” Satan walked over with Python and others, and he high-fived Chen Rui and the others one by one. “I knew you would win, so I booked a night show long ago.”

Chen Rui looked at Satan who almost had ‘tall, rich and handsome’ written on his face, and he wanted to say, “Local tyrant, let’s be friends.” But the most important thing for him now was to figure out some key points. In this world, It seemed that familiar good friends had become unfamiliar enemies, and the originally unfamiliar enemies had become good friends who were still unfamiliar. This confusing ‘setting’ would undoubtedly make it more difficult to find the node.

“Okay.” Michael glanced at Chen Rui and Raphael, “Everyone goes back and takes a shower. Get some sleep, then gather at the old place.”

“Wait a minute, Chen Rui. Didn’t you agree to accompany me to the library?” Gabriel voiced up.

Chen Rui just didn’t know where to go back, so he agreed immediately.

Michael frowned, pulled Chen Rui aside, and lowered his voice, “We are all brothers who grew up together. I know you have many women, and you are engaged to that woman from the Mammon Family. I’ll just say this. Unless you can marry Tezaneer, otherwise you must not date her!”

“I understand.” Chen Rui looked at Michael’s anti-thief expression as he nodded with an awkward smile.

Raphael looked at Gabriel, who only had Chen Rui in his eyes, and his eyes were a bit dejected; Python, who had been silent all this time, looked at Chen Rui’s arm held by Gabriel, and she seemed even more dejected.

After being separated from Michael, Satan and others, Gabriel happily walked toward the library with Chen Rui on her arm. Chen Rui found that when the students along the way saw him, they would stay far away as if seeing and avoiding a plague.

“Tezaneer.” Chen Rui thought for a while, “What kind of person am I?”

“I don’t care what other people think of you. Anyway, since I was a child, I felt that…” Before Gabriel finished speaking, her face was already flushed, and she lowered her head.

Chen Rui was speechless for a while. Clearly, Gabriel had misunderstood him. Nonetheless, from the first half of the sentence, he could faintly sense some problems.

Soon, they came to the library which was huge. There were also many people.

Gabriel pulled Chen Rui to pick the books together, flipping through them while taking notes in the small notebook. After a while, Chen Rui’s hands were already full of a thick stack of books.

Tezaneer Chick said embarrassingly, “I want to borrow these few books. It’s too heavy to hold them like this. You wait for me in the reading room first. I still need to find some materials. I’ll come to you when I’m done.”

Chen Rui nodded. He carried a large stack of books and walked toward the reading room. Tezaneer Chick chose not ordinary books, ‘A Brief Introduction to Philosophy’, ‘History of Theology’, and ‘”On Immortality’. She is indeed an archangel. Although she is in a different world, she still chooses such corresponding topics. Chen Rui was mocking in his mind when he suddenly saw a familiar female figure in front. He blurted out, “Shea!”

When the figure turned around, No doubt it was his Princess Royal Highness, still the elder sister type with iceberg temperament. However, Chen Rui was taken aback by the strong hatred and murderous intent revealed in those purple eyes.

Shea walked over quickly and said furiously, “Where is my sister?”

“Alice?” Chen Rui asked tentatively.

“Say it! What did you do to Alice?!”

“I don’t know.” The anger made Chen Rui take a few steps back.

Shea clenched her fists furiously, “Come at me if you want!”

“Loud noise is prohibited in the library.” An indifferent female voice sounded behind her. It turned out to be Mother-in-law Fairy Dragon Meria with a librarian’s sign on her chest.

“Teacher Meria.” Shea regained some composure.

“This is the library. Don’t disturb other people.” Meria looked at Shea with a gentle gaze. “Go out if you want to solve things and call the police if necessary.”

“I’m sorry. I understand.” Shea nodded and glared at Chen Rui before going out.

“Aunt Meria” Chen Rui called out, but Meria didn’t even look at him. She walked away as if he was transparent.

After being ignored, Chen Rui came to a table and sat down. The nearby students got up and left one after another. 1 of them didn’t react, but she was dragged away by her companions, and hurriedly followed. Chen Rui could only respond with an awkward smile.

Some murmurs could be faintly heard in the distance.

“Have you heard? Chen Rui seems to be engaged to Tiffany from the Student Union.”

“Senior Tiffany from the Discipline Department? No way!”

“It was the Mammon Family’s decision. Although Senior Tiffany firmly opposed it, she still failed. Hmph! Who told that guy’s father is the patriarch of the Roland Family and 1 of the school’s most influential directors!”

“It’s really beauty and the beast.”

“Let’s not say it’s senior, that guy relied on his family’s power and financial resources to harm many girls.”

“I know that 2 girls in the Art Department were cheated on by him, then he abandoned them after getting bored. 1 girl almost committed suicide.”

“It is said that he also coerced a female teacher and took nude photos. The daughter of the female teacher is already in kindergarten.”

“The one just now was Senior Shea from the Department of Economics and Management. She has been helping those students who have been bullied by him. Shea’s younger sister is only in junior high school. She suddenly disappeared yesterday. It is likely done by the scum.”

“Also, he recently took a liking to Athena, a girl from a poor family in the Physical Education Department. He gave her a lot of expensive gifts, but she is unmoved. As a result, seeing that he couldn’t gain her liking, he asked someone to smash Athena’s father’s stall”

“It’s Uncle George who sells pastries, right? No wonder that guy is called ‘Scumbag Chen’.”

“Paglio, Moore, and Roman from the Physical Education Department specially found Scumbag Chen for this matter and played a basketball game. If Scumbag Chen loses, he can no longer pursue Athena.”

“You don’t know yet? On the basketball court just now, Senior Paglio and the others have already lost.”

“Damn, then Athena…”

“Keep your voice down, Scumbag Chen is looking this way. Hurry up!”

Chen Rui’s forehead was already in cold sweat. Leaving aside those familiar names, abandoning girls in the Art Department after playing with them, coercing a married female teacher, kidnapping the loli, and even beating up the father just to force girl to submit. This is no longer as simple as ‘School Days’, I am a total scumbag!

Damn, where are the damn node? If I stay any longer in this world, even a good person like me will go insane.
