I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

The elevator landing on the sixth floor was exceptionally silent at night, silent enough to evoke a sense of desolation.

In this dim corner, the lighting was sparse as if time itself had frozen here.

The elevator doors were tightly closed, without a sound, only the faint light flickering on the walls.

Standing here, it felt as though the entire world had drifted away.

A deep tranquility pervaded the surroundings.

But at that moment,

Chen Yun's mind was abnormally cluttered with thoughts.

"I rarely leave the house, and a stranger entered when I did; could it be related to Bai Shi, who suggested I go out?"

"Or could this sudden visitor be related to the abnormalities I'm experiencing? Could it be that there truly is a hidden world of the extraordinary behind the scenes?"

The unexpected situation filled the already cautious Chen Yun with many doubts.

His heart churned tumultuously, like a patch of fog in the darkness of night.

Thinking,

Chen Yun slowly walked towards his apartment door, pulling out his keys.

He spread his fingers, revealing sharp nails, and heightened his vigilance.

He believed,

As long as the combat abilities of the person opposite weren't too freakish, his sharp claws could at least leave a few bloody marks.

Although Super Vision hadn't noticed whether the person was still in his apartment,

Regarding this sudden intrusion, Chen Yun assumed they had some special means of concealment.

With a creak, the door slowly opened.

The sound of the door opening echoed like a drum in the quiet night.

But besides that,

There seemed to be no other sound.

What came towards him was the scent of a stranger.

It hadn't been there before Chen Yun left.

But there were no other sounds of heartbeats or breathing.

After a cautious search around, Chen Yun was fairly certain there was no one in the apartment.

Nor were there any hidden micro cameras.

Following the trail of the stranger's lingering scent, Chen Yun paced around the apartment twice.

Using the trajectory and concentration of the scent,

And the vague footprints and fingerprints on the floor that could barely be seen with Super Vision,

Chen Yun quickly simulated the scenes of what had happened in his mind.

In the simulated images in his mind,

This strange man hadn't stepped into the kitchen or bathroom; instead, he wandered determinedly around the computer desk in the living room and the bedside table in the bedroom.

The places he lingered the most,

Were generally where valuables might be hidden.

And after Chen Yun checked,

Indeed, items from these places had been stolen.

He didn't have any cash, but the laptop he had left on the table was gone.

Apart from that,

The bedside table and wardrobe were a mess, as if the man had rifled through them without any intention of tidying or concealing.

The bedroom was littered with clothes and miscellaneous items scattered everywhere.

On the table where the laptop had been,

Was a note that read, "Dare to call the police, and I'll kill you!"

All of this didn't look like the work of a professional from a secret world of superhumans that Chen Yun worried might exist.

Nor did it look related to Bai Shi.

Even though it was suspicious that a stranger had entered his home shortly after Bai Shi had called him out,

And Bai Shi's unknown past was also dubious,

From what Chen Yun had learned about Bai Shi over the years, regardless of what kind of person he had been, he had likely given up that life.

Otherwise, Chen Yun would have moved away from this suspicious person on the first day his body started changing.

Moreover, even if Bai Shi was involved in this,

Bai Shi would absolutely not allow it to be handled so unprofessionally.

The clutter from the overturned bedside table was scattered everywhere; it didn't seem like something Bai Shi, who could carefully cover his tracks multiple times, would do.

Striving to make it undetectable that he had been there was Bai Shi's style.

This kind of crime,

Was anything but elegant.

Rather than being connected to Bai Shi,

It seemed more like the work of an unprofessional and novice... young thief?

Thinking,

Chen Yun temporarily set aside his suspicions about Bai Shi.

However, it didn't mean he completely let it go.

He definitely needed to find that thief; finding him would make it easy to determine whether he was connected to Bai Shi.

He continued to look around.

He found something to be thankful for.

His old phone, where he recorded his personal information, was neatly placed on the desk.

The automatic pencil lead pressed under the phone had not shifted its angle.

Chen Yun picked up the pencil lead and checked the three notches on it, indeed they were just as he had left them.

Clearly,

the old phone had not been touched.

The thief hadn't even laid a finger on the old phone.

He probably didn't think much of this old flip phone from years ago.

Let alone peeking inside.

He could rest assured; the contents of the memo had not been leaked.

However...

This incident also served as a wake-up call for Chen Yun.

Although he was a homebody and rarely caused trouble,

it didn't mean that his home was free from incidents, thieves and the like could still make their way in.

Not courting trouble didn't mean trouble wouldn't come looking for you.

Just like the current situation.

Chen Yun was definitely going to search for the thief; otherwise, he would feel uneasy.

So...

Perhaps he would need a relatively safer residence?

But...

A bit of thought would reveal that nowhere could be considered absolutely safe.

Even deep in the remote woods, it's not certain that no one would come.

Actually, his current residence was sufficient; today's incident was just an unlikely event.

And as long as he was at home, no one could sneak in without making a noise.

Even if he wasn't home, the only thing worth caring about was the old phone.

A safer residence could be put on the agenda, but there was no need to implement it immediately.

However, before that...

It was naturally best to carry the old phone with him.

With this thought, Chen Yun immediately pocketed the old phone.

This way, it was almost foolproof.

As long as he carried the old phone with him, he didn't need to worry about anyone breaking in.

It also made it convenient to record anything necessary at any time.

But...

Not worrying didn't mean he wasn't irritated.

Ants entering the giant dragon's den without permission

is inherently an infuriation, a provocation.

Even if nothing was taken,

the giant dragon would still feel anger.

Moreover, this damn thief had also stolen the only valuable laptop from Chen Yun's home, leaving behind a threatening note.

After confirming it was just a thief,

his worry dissipated.

But the emotion that followed was not purely anger.

It was calm mixed with anger.

The loss of the laptop didn't bother him much.

He cared more that someone dared enter his territory without permission.

Someone dared to threaten him.

If it had been him in the past, he might have considered moving.

But now…

Such people needed to be punished.

However, he couldn't let his special abilities attract attention.

With almost no hesitation,

Chen Yun changed into a set of clothes he rarely wore.

He opened the Transparent World.

A fascinating side of the world appeared before him.

Chen Yun followed the scent left by the thief and directly pursued him.

He could track mischievous kids and rats by scent;

naturally, he could also track the uninvited thief.

It wouldn't take long.

"Let's see just how bold you are,"

he murmured.

A killing intent rose in Chen Yun's heart.
