Roaldie Fryer's life is over.
At the end of his memory, Lin Ruo could feel the strongest emotion was unwillingness. But this unwillingness wasn't due to his own death, nor was it because of unfulfilled revenge; it was because the girl had been forcibly taken away by the trafficker right in front of him.
He hadn't changed anything, he hadn't saved anyone.
"Hey..." Lin Ruo's eyes were obscure as he placed his hands on his chest, feeling the emotions left by the body, and suddenly said, "Since I have your body, I will take over your hatred."
Whether it was the enemy who killed the original owner or the trafficker who just took the girl.
The former as a reward for using this body, and the latter because Lin Ruo himself despised traffickers.
Having made up his mind, Lin Ruo, who had accepted the memories, now had a basic understanding of the situation.
Simply put, he didn't directly possess Klein's back spirit last night; instead, he first took on Roldi Fryer, completing his rebirth with the help of this masterless body.
As a result, he had just been reborn for a while, without even waking his consciousness. For unknown reasons, his soul was pulled to Klein's side and bound with the other party, leading to the previous events.
Therefore, Lin Ruo mistakenly thought he had become Klein's back spirit during the traversal, but he still had a body this time. It seemed that under certain circumstances, his soul would leave his body and go to Klein.
Thinking of the lie he told later, Lin Ruo curled his lips but felt relieved.
After all, now he didn't have to worry about his body anymore.
Lin Ruo looked around again and planned to return to the original owner's residence in a secret state. He was still covered in blood and needed to clean up.
There were no accidents on the way back, as no one could see Lin Ruo. After returning to the original owner's residence, he washed himself thoroughly, ate enough food, and finally had the energy to start thinking about the consequences of having this body and what to do next.
Firstly, it must be clear that although the original owner died once, it may be because Lin Ruo took over the body in time. The extraordinary characteristics of this body did not dissipate, so Lin Ruo directly became a Sequence 9 hunter.
This is neither a good thing nor a bad thing for Lin Ruo.
It isn't good because after becoming a Sequence 9 hunter, Lin Ruo lost the right to freely choose his sequence. Unless he changes his path to become a witch in the future or learns the Blood Emperor's fierce jump in a non-similar sequence, or perhaps uses an extraordinary item like the dark cross to re-emerge, Lin Ruo can only follow the hunter's path.
It isn't bad either because the hunter sequence itself is strong in frontal combat, almost one of the strongest combat sequences—this can be referenced in the Quaternary Period. The Blood Emperor was able to subdue three Goosan families largely through force.
Although Lin Ruo's ideal route was the audience, considering Adam's existence, it wasn't bad to take the hunter route to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness.
Since he would follow the hunter path, he needed to consider potion digestion and subsequent promotion.
Lin Ruo knew that the fastest and best way to digest the potion was through acting. To digest the hunter's potion, he had to play a good hunter.
This shouldn't be too difficult. The hunter's potion gave Lin Ruo excellent tracking abilities, outstanding trap layout skills, and almost instinctive hunting abilities. At the same time, his physical fitness was greatly improved, including resilience.
It can be said that the Sequence 9 hunters are not weak at all. The original owner died because he had just taken the potion, hadn't fully adapted to the extraordinary abilities it brought, and encountered two traffickers without preparation. The traffickers had guns, posing a significant threat to low-sequence Beyonders.
To play a good hunter, Lin Ruo needed to choose corresponding prey, which could be traditional hunting targets or people.
Among the more ideal targets were the two traffickers who killed the original owner. Hunting them would serve both as practice and as revenge for the original owner.
Lin Ruo was confident that the two traffickers were ordinary people. Although the original owner was defeated, as an Extraordinary, Lin Ruo believed that with preparation, hunting those two wouldn't be too difficult.
The only concern was the existence behind the traffickers.
"Eastern District... and the target of trafficking is a girl... Capin?" Lin Ruo connected this with the content of the original work, knowing that many missing girls in Backlund were related to the trafficker Capin.
He wouldn't shrink back, even if the traffickers might be connected to Capin. In fact, Lin Ruo despised the leader of the trafficking gang like Capin more than the direct perpetrators. He was also thinking about the royal conspiracy represented by the Loen family behind Capin.
Capin did things for the royal family, contributing to their godhood ceremony.
But he was also a breakthrough point, allowing the church to discover what was wrong with the Royal Family of Ruen.
Capin was in the jurisdiction of the Church of the Storm, giving Lin Ruo the idea to use Capin to draw the Storm Church into the game, then deal with Ince.
This might sound like a leap, but Lin Ruo had considered bringing the Storm Church into the game when thinking about dealing with Ince in Tingen.
Given his limited combat power and the ambiguous attitude of the Goddess of the Night, Lin Ruo couldn't rely on her but intended to involve the Storm Church with their creed of "Don't hesitate, act."
He hadn't figured out the details yet, but now he had some ideas.
To realize his plan, the first step was to hunt down Capin.
