The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1418 - 1431: Days Loved by the Escape Boss (32)
It’s miserable, just looking at it makes my face hurt for her.
Outside came such a reassuring voice. Lan Ye and Lan Cao, the two siblings, gingerly pushed open the door to look outside.
They couldn’t stay hidden any longer; sooner or later someone would burst in to search, so they might as well take the initiative.
Lan Cao and Lan Ye, sobbing, their terrified and pitiful appearance made the people outside drop their guard a little.
They obviously looked like victims.
Two friendly-looking policewomen gently escorted them out.
Even as players, the treatment Lan Cao and Lan Ye received compared to theirs was vastly different, leaving Bearded Brother and them both agitated and dumbfounded.
Especially Xu Qingqing, whose eyes widened in disbelief.
This kind of special treatment was supposed to be hers all along.
This... is it really true that weakness justifies everything?
Zhi Xin Yulin and their group, not surprisingly seasoned players, followed Lan Cao and Lan Ye with their eyes until they were out of sight, then instantly changed their attitudes, also adopting a pitiful and frightened demeanor.
Su Li came out with Gu Ling, looking relaxed, standing in stark contrast to the others.
"Was it you who called the police?"
"Yes."
Xu Qingqing felt a sour discomfort in her heart, gnashing her teeth, "It’s you again."
The same familiar pattern, the same familiar feeling...
Su Li said righteously, "I know you have a good relationship with Gu Minxing, but as a person involved in the case, I won’t allow you to shield him."
"The darkness in this big mansion must be dispelled by the light." Su Li said, righteously severing family ties, "Such wicked people, I resolutely refuse to acknowledge them as my family."
Bearded Brothers: "....."
Xu Qingqing: "....."
No one expected it to be this impressive.
But the effect was indeed remarkable, the nearby NPCs’ gazes softened when they landed on Su Li, but when they turned back to them, their eyes became sharp and icy, making people’s hearts tremble.
The disparity was so obvious, it made them feel sour.
But... at least they weren’t the worst off; thinking this, they didn’t feel so bad.
Being the worst, monitored and scrutinized harshly, Xu Qingqing just wanted to curse: Su Li is killing me.
How did that vase-brained idiot suddenly become so bright?
As someone suspected of harboring, the force restraining her wrist from behind intensified, causing her pain.
She could only condemn Su Li with her eyes, unable to do anything.
Watching helplessly as the special researchers pulled many ugly creatures from the lake, Bearded Brother and his companions looked nervous and scared.
Such monsters existed in this big mansion, with fish tails and human bodies, looking ugly and bizarre, as if two creatures had been forcibly fused together.
They considered themselves lucky last night, not knowing why those things remained quiet and didn’t attack them.
However, even after digging through the entire mansion, they didn’t glimpse that big boss, the Clan Leader, which made Bearded Brother and his group wary.
The constant fear, not knowing when danger might come, feeling like a sword was always hanging over their heads, ready to fall any second, was utterly dreadful.
They hoped the big boss would appear soon, yet feared his appearance.
But, until they successfully passed the game and left, they never saw the big boss.
The game proceeded with a somewhat absurd and anticlimactic... baffling completion, without anyone knowing what had really happened, it just completed itself?
Even the clues were automatically delivered to them.
After the debriefing, Bearded Brother and his tensioned companions were informed this was an idiotic human gene experiment by the Gu family, attempting to decipher the secret of immortality. The monsters found dormant in the lake were the Gu family members who had gone missing over the years.
The whole truth was revealed to the world, and as Bearded Brother and his companions felt a sense of epiphany, a mechanical voice in their minds suddenly intoned: Game cleared.
Before they could even react, a beam of white light flashed, and they all vanished from the spot.
In past game completions, this rush.... seemed never to have been hurried like this.
Uncertain whether it was a misperception, Bearded Brother felt the flat game voice bore a hint of exasperation.
After noticing Su Li’s behavior pattern was not much different from the last time, Xu Qingqing was somewhat prepared for the sudden game completion, not as shocked as Bearded Brother and the others.
Indeed, everything had to do with Su Li.
Even upon leaving this world, they could not figure out why the big boss never appeared in the end.
All the secrets were known only to Su Li.
The Clan Leader monster wanted to come out and massacre, but that required capability.
With one punch, Su Li broke one of its teeth, with a second, all its flesh and blood.
The third punch.... uh, before Su Li acted, a bolt of lightning from the heavens struck the monster, leaving not even ashes behind.
Such an unworldly monster, if it weren’t for someone forcibly clouding the Heavenly Mechanism, shouldn’t actually appear in this small world.
Once the mist shrouding this mansion was dispersed, the Heavenly Dao immediately locked onto these Gu family monsters.
Without Su Li needing to act, the bloodthirsty, ignorant minds of those merfolk monsters were destroyed.
This was also the reason Xu Qingqing and the others remained alert all night, yet did not encounter any monster attacks.
"Eh, where did those people suddenly disappear to?"
.....
The sudden return of Xu Qingqing and her companions drew the natives’ attention. Yet as a gentle breeze swept by, they seemed to forget something, momentarily dazed.
Gu Ling turned around, searching the surroundings, covering her forehead with a sigh: It seemed she wanted to find someone to talk to just now, but who?
She couldn’t remember.....
---------
"Who dares to destroy my domain...."
A terrifying aura tearing through space arrived, causing the small world to tremble. A gentle, luminous light enveloped it, soothing its quivering core.
Following that aura, Su Li swung a palm over.
A muffled groan from spitting blood was heard.
An Upper God who couldn’t even arrive with its true form, Su Li didn’t even care.
"Ah, so you were here." A voice sighed from the swiftly closing space rift, light as a feather brushing over one’s heart.
Su Li’s casual demeanor became solemn, but quickly shifted into a relaxed smile, "Hao Jun, long time no see."
"I don’t know if your wounds have healed, but you’re missed."
---------
"Ha...." Haojun God smirked ambiguously while clutching his chest.
"Divine Monarch...."
"You suffered a deserved fate, meeting Su’s daughter, consider yourself unlucky."
Nurtured for so many years, the area wounded by Su Li initially, regardless of what methods were attempted, still couldn’t heal.
Opening up his chest, one would find a bowl-sized black scar at Haojun God’s heart, continually corroding the surrounding flesh, yet restricted to the heart, unable to spread.
But with its rate of progression, until the poison is eradicated, it would eventually become uncontrollable.
The one who ties the bell must untie it.
Haojun God: "Considering you discovered the traces of Su’s daughter, today’s incident shall be disregarded, fantasizing about being the lord of fear..." Heh heh....
