Chapter 1247 - The Consequence of Disturbing the Dog When She’s Eating (2/2)
“Are you the one taking my food?” Lily stared at the voice in the void.
“In front of the treasure you are about to open, it is just a small—”
“Don’t chime in. I’m asking you where is my food?” Lily’s glare became even more intense than before.
“You have to open a—”
“Is my food not with you?” Lily continued to glare at the voice.
The illusion of the treasure vault suddenly collapsed. Gold and jewels disappeared into the fog. The next moment, something new came out. Lily saw a high throne, and she was wearing a gold robe and a crown, holding a scepter of the emperor in her hand with countless warriors and officers bowing to her.
That voice sounded again. “The supreme authority and power will be yours! You will be the highest ruler in the world; your throne will be—”
“So where are my spare ribs?”
“I mean you will be an emperor—”
“Where are my spare ribs?”
The throne collapsed. A great battlefield emerged. The tone of the voice was a little hysterical now. “Power! Endless power! You will be invincible! The whole world can’t—”
“I still want my bowl of ribs,” Lily demanded with her arms akimbo. “Do you know how hard it is to get the moment when Mr. Landlord and Battie are not at home, and there is leftover food in the fridge at the same time?”
“Eternal life! I can make you immortal!”
“I still want my spare ribs.”
“Knowledge! All the knowledge in the world. I can give all the knowledge you can never imagine!”
“I graduated from Peking University four times. Do you want me to sit for the test again?—I want my spare ribs!”
“Past, present, future! I will give you the power of the prophet; I will let you change your destiny, I will—”
“Keep bluffing! The quantum collapse determines the irreversibility and inoperability of fate. Where do you hide my spare ribs?”
“God’s authority! You can even be a god!”
“I know a god; she doesn’t even get a bonus for the New Year—only when you let me eat the bowl of pork ribs will we discuss again.”
The meaningless conversation lasted for a while, and then everything became quiet. The mysterious voice seemed to have accumulated something in silence, and eventually broke out. Lily heard a loud voice from above. “Enough! You stupid, ignorant mortal! I’m going to tear your soul into pieces!”
When Lily looked up, she saw tentacles and a swollen piece of meat lunging out of the darkness. Countless pairs of eyes, all with a sinister glint, appeared on the meat, which shrilled as it waved its tentacles toward her.
Lily almost jumped out of her skin. She instinctively stepped back. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind; she realized that she needed a weapon.
This thought broke through the imprisonment of her spiritual world, and she felt that she had grabbed something hard in her hand.
She yanked the thing in her hand at the monster without even thinking.
A loud bang ensued as if a high-speed train had hit the mountain; a piece of gray concrete slab smashed the monster in the face.
The illusions were gone.
