"Oh, it's quite painful."
As the five fingers fell to the ground, Faceless One lightly uttered an 'oh' and then dropped his arm. Blood gushed out like a fountain from the stump of the fingers.
With Liu Li's current physical quality, even if her fingers were really cut off by a sharp weapon, the wound would heal in a short time. This was the comprehensive quality of a Successor Disciple. People often said that her defense and resilience were slightly weak, but that was only relative to her offensive ability. At present, the five fingers were cut off, but the blood continued to flow. Obviously, this was the intentional action of Faceless One, who controlled the body. He deliberately squeezed the blood from Liu Li's body to the wound, allowing it to gush out and cause a lot of blood loss.
"Hey, I didn't expect your psychological quality to be so good. The other people around you are going crazy, but you, who have the best relationship with Liu Li, are still very calm."
Faceless One flaunted the bloody stump of the broken fingers in front of everyone, and then observed the seething anger of Aya and the others while expressing his curiosity about Wang Lu's indifference.
"What's there to care about?" Wang Lu said, "It's not like a few broken fingers can't be put back. As for pain or not, in any case, the one who's in pain is you. "
Faceless One laughed. Although his expression was stiff and distorted, it seemed to be joy from the heart. "Well said. But, to be able to remain calm when the people close to you are seriously injured, are you really human? Or do you not care about your Junior Sister as much as you seem? "
Wang Lu lightly said, "Whether I am a human or not, whether I have human feelings or not, whether I care about it or not, my Junior Sister, after I catch you, I will let you seriously experience it. As for now … tell me your conditions."
"Conditions?" Faceless One asked, "Do you think I'm here to talk about conditions with you?"
Wang Lu said, "Aren't you? Then you're here to chat? Very well, I'll continue to drive. You can accompany me on the road. "
With that, Wang Lu reached out to the vehicle's control device, ready to start the vehicle to move forward.
Faceless One, of course, didn't come to chat. After Wang Lu obtained the inheritance of Golden King and the level eight vehicle, it was impossible to defeat them in the sea of clouds with normal methods. Therefore, he could only resort to extreme measures, and the hostage in his hands was his greatest trump card.
However, when facing an opponent like Wang Lu, the use of the hostage card was also very particular. If one did not play it well, even a good card would be played badly, so …
"Have a slow chat? Sure. " Faceless One said, "By the way, as you guessed, I did not complete the spiritual occupation of Liu Li. However, it's not that I can't occupy her, but I deliberately left a line. But since you don't care about it, it seems like I don't have to hold back, right?"
Wang Lu's grip on the control stick tightened. What he feared had come true.
This was the worst possible situation.
A Liu Li who had no value of rescue and a Liu Li who still had a glimmer of hope were completely different concepts. If Liu Li had died, in a sense, it was actually a good thing, because Wang Lu could avenge her at all costs, without any restriction or constraint. But now...
"I'm not here to talk about conditions with you, because I don't need to talk about my conditions, you already know them." Faceless One lightly said.
"No need to talk about it, I can't accept it." Wang Lu also coldly responded.
"Really? Then, let's analyze the situation rationally. " Faceless One said, "My condition is that you stop here and fight us head-on. Of course, this is a dead end for you. So, I can also put it simply, my condition is to let you die."
"And then?"
"And then, the bargaining chip in my hand is your most valued Junior Sister, Liu Li. However, if you die, she will not survive. Moreover, even if I promise to let her live, I'm afraid you won't believe me."
Wang Lu sneered. "Isn't that clear? Your so-called hostage is meaningless."
Faceless One said, "It does seem meaningless, but if it's really meaningless, why did you stop the car? Why did you stop until now and not dare to start? "
"..." Wang Lu's hand that was holding the control stick became even more stiff.
"Hahaha, are you deeply entangled?" Faceless One said with a smile, "Even if you rationally know that this is a dead end, emotionally, you can't just watch your dear Junior Sister die. Because no matter how many reasons you have, you can't suppress your sense of responsibility and closeness to your Junior Sister, right? Therefore, even if you are entangled, you know what to do, but you can't do it! Unfortunately, deep spiritual occupation can only be carried out once in a short period of time. Otherwise, right now, you would be a good occupation target. "
Wang Lu was silent. His eyes gradually moved away from Liu Li.
At this time, he heard Aya's voice in his mind.
"... I'm sorry, Wang Lu, it's all because of me that you and Liu Li are involved in this matter. After all, you're not locals, so Holy Light Religion has no reason to kill you. Therefore, I think it's better for me to …"
For Aya's request, Wang Lu's response was only one sentence, "Idiot, get lost."
"Wang Lu?"
"Shut your mouth and obediently watch from the side. If you say one more word, don't blame me for blacklisting you."
Aya was stunned for a long time, and finally, she silently cut off the primordial spirit transmission.
Actually, she also knew that even if she was willing to sacrifice herself, it might not make the situation better. Not to mention that Wang Lu would never accept her sacrifice. It was just that … if she didn't do it, what else could she do?
After a long silence, time passed by bit by bit. Wang Lu's hand was still on the control stick, but he couldn't push it down. Faceless One was interested in watching Wang Lu's reaction, and from time to time, he also used his cold eyes to warn the eager Quan Zouhua and Bai Shixuan. Of course, the wound on her palm was not treated, and because of excessive blood loss, Liu Li's body has shown an unnatural paleness. If it were an ordinary person, perhaps she would've already passed out or even died.
Even though his spirit occupation was still a little short of completion, he still had the ability to seize Liu Li's life and death. If other people dared to act rashly, they would only end up in a life and death situation. Of course, if they really made their move, it would not be difficult for them to kill Faceless One's avatar. Moreover, after killing it, they could get rid of the burden and go into battle lightly. However, would Wang Lu allow them to make their move?
If he wanted to make his move, he would've done it himself, why drag it on?
After an unknown amount of time, Aya's battlefield intuition became increasingly aware of the approaching danger — the Holy Light Religion's vehicle was approaching at an alarming speed — and her palms were sweating. Wang Lu finally opened his mouth to break the silence.
"Just now, you asked me, why did we stop here?"
Faceless One said, "By the way, I also want to ask, you've put your hand on the control stick for so long, but since you don't dare to push it down, why don't you let go?"
Wang Lu said, "Because if I let go, I can't see the situation outside."
Faceless One suddenly froze, as if he thought of something. "What?"
Bit by bit, Wang Lu's smile returned to his face. "The inside of this vehicle is completely enclosed, and the armor is not transparent. Therefore, the reflection of the outside scene from the cabin is actually a transit point. And this transit point is in my hands. Whatever you want to see, you have to get my consent. And from the time I touched the control stick until now, what I showed you is the same scene — don't you think the clouds outside the vehicle are too monotonous? "
Faceless One thought for a moment. "But the vehicle hasn't started, at least you can't fake this."
"Yes, you're inside the vehicle, so the internal energy change can't be hidden from you. But why would I need to start the vehicle? The so-called movement is relative. Even if the vehicle doesn't move, if the surrounding scenery is moving, it's the same. The interior of the sea of clouds is unpredictable, so it's not surprising that there are several areas that can move, right? "
Faceless One was silent. As a veteran of the sea of clouds trial, he, of course, knew that it was not surprising!
"I've been waiting here for so long, and I thought I couldn't wait anymore. But the final result is just passable." Wang Lu said with a smile, "Finally, I've been waiting for this opportunity."
"Opportunity …" Faceless One softly repeated. At the same time, he was ready to completely annihilate Liu Li's life force at the fastest speed!
If Wang Lu wanted to perish indiscriminately, that would indeed be the worst result. However, if he let Liu Li fall, it would cause a serious psychological blow to Wang Lu, which was also a good thing. Spirit occupation … could also be used on him.
However, the next moment, an unexpected change made Faceless One's reaction slightly slower.
Wang Lu pulled the control stick to the side, and the entire chassis of the vehicle and the floor of the cockpit opened up. A strong suction came from below, pulling Wang Lu and Faceless One down at the same time.
"Aya, the rest is up to you."
Before disappearing, Wang Lu left a final sentence.
—
Falling, falling endlessly.
After falling out of the chariot, Wang Lu and Faceless One fell into an endless fall in the vast sea of clouds. All around them were vast clouds, and only the strong sense of weightlessness reminded the two that they were falling. Moreover, the speed was getting faster and faster, completely without any wind resistance.
"… What an interesting move. It's beyond my expectations."
While falling, Faceless One earnestly nodded and said.
"Are you really not worried that I'll erase Liu Li, and then both of us will suffer?"
Beside Faceless One, Wang Lu had a serious look on his face. His attention was firmly locked on Faceless One's body, paying attention to any subtle movement. Upon hearing Faceless One's question, Wang Lu was surprised.
"Why should I worry? Isn't your goal from the beginning? Right now, there's no interference from other people, which should be what you want. "
Faceless One was slightly surprised. "I didn't expect you to be so self-aware."
If it were other people, perhaps they would think that Faceless One's goal was to intercept Wang Lu and his team, so that they couldn't get close to Beautiful Unique Pool Peak and win this trial. However, Wang Lu himself was very clear that Faceless One's real goal was him, only him. He didn't care whether the administrator of the King's Treasure House would be replaced or not. As the church's executioner, his task was to purify the enemies of the church. Other things were not within the scope of his consideration.
As for Aya? If it was the Knight King Aya, perhaps he could use all kinds of means to purify her. However, now that she was in the state of the brave departed, it was not worth it to make a special trip.
Therefore, when the time was ripe, Wang Lu immediately pulled him to jump out of the vehicle, so that Aya, Xiao Bai, and the others could get rid of the burden and rush forward.
Then, the game really began.
