345 Eloping (1/2)

”Oh, it kinda hurts.”

When the five fingers landed on the ground, Faceless One babbled an understatement and let down the arm, causing blood to gush out like spring from the fingerless hand.

For Liu Li's physical quality, even if her fingers were cut off by a sharp weapon, the wound would heal in a short time. This was the comprehensive quality of a successor disciple. It was often said that her defensive and restorative power was slightly weaker, as opposed to her offensive prowess. Currently, the wound on her fingerless hand continued to stream out blood. Obviously, this was intentional on the part of Faceless One. He deliberately let the blood to flow out of the wound, letting it gush out and cause a lot of blood loss.

”Huh, I never thought that your mental quality would be this good. Everyone around you is going insane with worry, yet you, who actually has a very good relationship with Liu Li, are still very calm.”

While flaunting off the bloody fingerless hand in front of everyone, Faceless One observed that while Aya and the others were boiling with anger, Wang Lu actually showed a curious indifferent look.

”What is there to care about?” Wang Lu said, ”It's just broken fingers, it's not that they're not going to be back. As for the pain, the one who is hurt is actually you.”

Faceless One broke into laughter. Although the expression appeared stiff and twisted, it seemed like it was a pleasure that came from the heart. ”You said it well. But, to be able to maintain calm in front of someone that is close to you and seriously injured, are you really a human? Or you don't actually care about your Junior Sister?”

Wang Lu lightly said, ”I am not human, so I have no human feelings. But I do care about my Junior Sister, so when I catch you, I will make you pay for it. As for now… tell me about your conditions.”

”Conditions?” Faceless One asked back, ”Do you think I want to talk to you about conditions?”

Wang Lu said, ”No? Then are we just going to talk? Very well, I'll just continue to drive and we can slowly talk along the way.”

With that, Wang Lu reached out towards the vehicle control device, ready to start the vehicle and move forward.

Faceless One, of course, was not there to chat. When Wang Lu obtained Golden King's level eight vehicle, Holy Light Religion team was already unable to defeat them in normal ways in the sea of clouds. Therefore, he could only use this method, and the hostage in his hand was his biggest card.

However, in the face of an opponent like Wang Lu, it was already quite stressful to use a hostage. If he took a wrong step, this card might turn out to be in vain, therefore...

”Slowly talk? Okay.” Faceless One said, ”By the way, you're right, I haven't completed the spirit occupation of Liu Li, but it's not because I can't, rather I deliberately left a lifeline. But since it seems like you don't care about her, it seems like I don't need to keep it either, what do you think?”

Wang Lu immediately tightened his grasp on the control stick—this was something that he was really afraid would happen.

This was the worst case situation.

Liu Li who could not be saved, and Liu Li who has a very slim chance of survival were two very different concepts. If Liu Li has already died, in a sense, it was actually a good thing. It meant that Wang Lu could take revenge at all cost for her, free from any restrictions and constraints, but now...

”I'm not here to tell you the conditions, because I don't have to. You already know it,” Faceless One lightly said,

”Needless to say, I can't accept it,” Wang Lu coldly responded.

”Really? Then let's have a rational analysis of the current situation.” Faceless One said, ”My condition is that you stop here and fight head-on with us. Of course, this is a dead end for you. Therefore, I can simply say my condition is to let you die.”

”And then?”

”And then, the card in my hand is your most valued Junior Sister Liu Li. If you guys die, she alone could not survive. Even if I promise to let her live, I'm afraid you won't believe me.”

Wang Lu sneered. ”Then isn't it 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 vehicle? Why are still afraid to launch the vehicle?”

”...” Wang Lu's grip on the control stick became even stiffer.

”Hahaha, you're at a loss, right?” Faceless One said, ”Even if you intellectually know that it's a dead end, emotionally, you can't bear to just helplessly watch your Junior Sister die. Because there's no amount of reason and rationality that can trump your feeling of closeness and responsibility towards your Junior Sister, right? So, you are at a loss, you know perfectly well what is the right thing to do, but you simply can't do it! Unfortunately, within a short amount of time, spirit occupation can only be carried out once, otherwise, right now, you're a really good spirit occupying object.”

Wang Lu did not speak, but just gradually shifted away his gaze from Liu Li.

At this time, he heard Aya's voice through primordial spirit.

”... Wang Lu, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that Liu Li ended up like this. I thought that since you're not a local, there's no reason for Holy Light Religion to utterly destroy you, so I think it's better if I…”

For Aya's request, Wang Lu's response was simple, ”Shut up you idiot.”

”Wang Lu!”

”Just shut your mouth and stay put. If you say one more word, don't blame me if I put you on my blacklist.”

Aya was stunned for a long time, but finally silently broke off the primordial spirit connection.
