Chapter 77 Renaming Sam and the Next Destination: Mysterious Falls

The dean's ghostly hands, crackling with azure electricity, gripped Su's head. His face was contorted with rage, and the electricity in his hands shone even brighter and more violently.

Then, his expression changed.

"Crash..."

Paper fluttered and fluttered, and Su Shi, who had been held by the dean, began to fall away like a paper doll, instantly transforming into a swarm of paper that chased the wind and attracted butterflies, and gathered gracefully in another place.

The dean was taken aback and turned to attack again, but was met with a powerful kick.

"boom!"

The dean was kicked straight into the air and then disappeared.

A series of clicking and scraping sounds rang out, and a blood-stained hospital bed not far away seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force as it rushed towards Su Shi. Su Shi leaped and easily dodged it. While in the air, he quickly formed hand seals and opened his mouth to unleash a Wind Release: Great Breakthrough on the cabinet in the corner of the secret room.

"boom!"

The cabinet door was blown open instantly, revealing the huddled corpse of the dean inside.

Seemingly guessing what the Su family wanted to do, the vanished dean's ghost reappeared, blocking his own corpse with an increasingly ferocious expression and more restless electricity in his hands.

"It's no use. Once a ghost appears, it's as if it has a physical form. You can attack me, and I can attack you. Obviously... you can't beat me!"

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

After gathering chakra in his throat, he spewed a huge fireball forward from his mouth. The blazing fireball easily passed through the Dean's ghost's body and then struck the cabinet.

boom!

First came a loud bang, then flames engulfed the cabinet, and the documents, miscellaneous items, and the dean's corpse inside slowly burned in the flames.

The dean's ghost began to flicker and become ethereal, and finally disappeared with a bang.

The kill reward notification then sounded.

It seems the dean's ghost has been eliminated.

"boom!"

The office door was suddenly kicked open. Kate stumbled, but steadied herself by gripping the iron bar. She glanced at the unharmed Su Shi and the burning cabinet, and tentatively asked, "Is it over?"

Su chuckled and nodded: "It's over."

Kate said apologetically, "I'm sorry I'm late and couldn't be of any help."

"It's alright, the important thing is that you've come." Su looked around and saw the ghosts that had been following him disappear one by one with relieved expressions. They must finally be able to rest in peace.

"Give it to you."

Su tossed out a Flying Thunder God kunai. Lately, when he had free time, he had practically marked all the ninja tools in his system with the Flying Thunder God symbol. "Just a souvenir," he said.

"what is this?"

"Kunai!"

Kate curiously fiddled with the kunai in her hand and looked up to ask what to do next, only to suddenly realize that Sue was gone.

She glanced around instinctively, finally confirming that Su must have left using some mysterious method. The dean's matter was resolved, Su was gone, which meant they could leave too.

“Kate…Kate…” Gavin caught up.

"Where are they? Where are they?" Gavin asked blankly, looking at the burning flames and the vanished Su family member.

"The matter has been resolved, and he's gone."

"Left? Then..."

"Let's go too."

Kate gripped the kunai Sue had given her, then turned and left the basement with Gavin.

Strangely enough, even though it was the same environment and I knew there really were ghosts here, I felt very calm when I left, without the fear I had when I came in.

Perhaps it's because the ghost has already been dealt with?

Perhaps it's because I've experienced it firsthand.

As the two emerged from the shelter, they gazed at the star-studded sky and the quiet, dimly lit streets, each lost in their own thoughts.

“Gavin, let’s break up.” Kate turned to look at Gavin.

Gavin opened his mouth but didn't ask for the reason or try to persuade her to stay. He knew that his previous behavior was indeed embarrassing. In fact, when he was chasing Kate to the basement, he had already thought about turning over a new leaf and becoming a responsible and courageous person. Looking back on his behavior, he looked down on himself.

But Kate didn't give him a chance to express his true feelings, and Gavin also knew that words alone would hardly convince Kate that he would change.

Talk is cheap; let's prove it with facts.

Gavin felt that this 'adventure' was his rebirth; he wanted to change his personality, change Kate's perception of him, and change his life.

Sam?

Gavin suddenly remembered the name Su had mentioned. Someone whose name he could remember must be someone he approved of, right?

From this day forward, I will change my name to Sam, Sam Roden!

Night passed quietly.

The next morning, Mr. Su checked out of the hotel and drove away from Rockford.

A few days later, he returned to the Witcher bar in Wisconsin.

The old, run-down bar that used to be located by the roadside has been completely transformed. Although the overall structure has not changed much, a three-story wooden villa has been added behind the bar. In addition, the exterior of the bar has been completely renovated and redesigned, making it look much more upscale than before.

Dozens of workers were going in and out, renovating the interior of the bar. According to the previously estimated time, it would take at least another month and a half to be officially completed.

In the villa behind the bar, everyone who learned of Su's return gathered together.

Alan, Arthur, Olivia, Anna, and Joe, who had returned to the bar some time ago, stayed behind.

"Oh!"

Su took out the scroll, unsealed it, and instantly white smoke dissipated, followed by... piles of gift bags and packaging bags piled up like mountains of gold.

"These are gifts for you, please choose one."

Su clapped his hands with a very extravagant smile, then turned to Anna and said, "We don't need you for the renovations here, right? I'm going back to Mysterious Falls Town to make some preparations. Do you want to come with me?"

Anna was overjoyed: "Of course, you...you want to?"

"Try it first."

"Okay, when do you leave?"

"Go pack your things, and then you can leave."

Anna zipped upstairs at lightning speed and went straight back to her room to tidy up.

The others, who were picking out gifts, were somewhat surprised to hear that Su was leaving as soon as she returned.

Allen asked Su about the Yellow-Eyed Demon and was saddened to learn that the Yellow-Eyed Demon was really dead. He then reported on the progress of the bar's renovation.

Olivia asked if he should come along to Mysterious Falls Town, but Su said it wasn't necessary. The main purpose of going back was to familiarize himself with the environment, buy a house, decorate it simply, and leave a few Flying Thunder God seals. It shouldn't take too long. Rather than having Olivia come along, he preferred that she stay here and focus on training her chakra. He was still waiting for the chakra fruit reward from the mission.

……

P.S.: I'm writing this as a setup for the Vampire Diaries plot first, since by the time the story starts in a few years, the female lead will have already been taken by someone else.

Additionally, Sam Rhoden is the name of the male protagonist in Final Destination 5, which is a little Easter egg designed to allow for future developments in the Final Destination storyline.

Chapter 78 Your home is my home?

Just as Su had finished marking everyone, the villa, and the bar with the Flying Thunder God mark, Anna had already packed her things and appeared in front of him with a suitcase, eager to see him.

"You go first, I'll be there soon."

Su patted Anna on the shoulder, imprinted the Flying Thunder God mark on her, and let her set off first.

Although Anna wondered why they weren't going together, out of trust in the Su family and her eagerness to return to Mystic Falls, she drove off first.

The benefits of the Flying Thunder God Technique are obvious. You don't need to go anywhere yourself. You just need to have someone carry the Flying Thunder God mark and go there first. Then, you will arrive in the blink of an eye!

He took a shower, changed his clothes, drank a cup of coffee and ate something to relieve the fatigue of the journey, and told Joe about his experiences after they separated. He also gave Olivia some pointers on chakra refining and even took a short nap. Only then did he sense the Flying Thunder God mark on Anna's body, which disappeared with a whoosh to everyone's surprise.

On the way, Anna, who was driving, hesitated several times before wanting to call Su to ask when he would catch up and whether she should find a place to wait for him. Then... Su suddenly appeared next to her and abruptly sat in the passenger seat without any warning.

"..."

Anna stared blankly at Su Shi for a long time before she reacted and asked him in shock how he had done it.

Anna had initially thought they would use Earth Release or Angel Mode to catch up, but she never expected them to appear out of thin air like this. After learning about the Flying Thunder God Technique, Anna was even more surprised.

As long as you leave the mark of Flying Thunder God, you can teleport to that location instantly, and the mark left behind is almost impossible to erase.

Putting aside the issue of travel, just considering the enemy, once an enemy is marked, it's as if they're permanently locked onto by the Su family. No matter where they flee to, the Su family can instantly appear and take their lives. Isn't that just too unreasonable?

Even the most powerful tracking magic or witchcraft can only determine the location; it can't arrive instantly.

Moreover, if the target's location changes, it may be necessary to re-track or continue searching for the target. Once the other party frequently changes location and flies a kite, even if you know where the other party is, you can only stare blankly. In fact, if the other party has mastered the method of shielding or concealing their own location, you will not be able to find them even if you want to.

But the Flying Thunder God Technique can. Once it locks onto you, it can kill you instantly. Even if you are prepared and want to erase this mark, it is almost impossible. Anyway, Anna has never seen the Su clan's ninjutsu broken so far.

Anna was eager to get home, driving incredibly fast and barely resting. Along the way, Su ate and slept as usual, and after eating and drinking his fill, he used his Flying Thunder God Technique to keep up with Anna, who was driving non-stop.

In just two days, they crossed Indiana and Kentucky, and entered their destination, Virginia.

Mysterious Waterfall Town.

A red Ferrari F convertible slowly drove into the town. Its striking color, streamlined and cool body, and the prestige of the luxury car brand attracted the curious glances of the surrounding townspeople, especially the couple inside the car.

Both of them had Eastern features; the woman was beautiful and pretty, and the man was handsome and dashing. They looked quite young and were unfamiliar faces.

A wealthy young couple suddenly appeared in a remote town, making it impossible for them to go unnoticed.
