Chapter 136: The Long Night VI

It is well known that before a great battle there must be supplies, and after a great battle there must be a settlement.

And among the many Virtues, the blessings of Bai Lu and the Multitude are especially fast—after all, the wilderness competition of the survival of the fittest and the life-and-death war are often quite short and intense, and the results are clear, with no room for ambiguity; the winner is the winner, and the loser... dies on the spot.

The life-and-death struggle in the villa had just ended, and the blessing from Bai Lu descended from the sky.

It was as if the streamer had fought a good team battle, and the boss tipped a rocket.

And the biggest beneficiary among them was... Jin Mao, who had been OB-ing on the sidelines and hadn't participated in the team battle at all.

After all, he was one of the only two authentic Bai Lu in the villa, and he had at least some DKP and output, although it was negligible, but the win was in... too many people died, and Jin Mao's level was too low.

After fighting a battle in a daze, with the same experience, his rank went straight to the top.

After being used as bait by Brother Ji, he picked up a blessing for nothing, and now Jin Mao was almost crazy with joy.

It was like a mouse getting involved in a beast's group fight, kicking a foot in a daze, then splitting half a steak and going home, celebrating the New Year on the spot.

But the things that happened immediately after made everyone's jaws drop.

Almost making Jin Mao unable to catch his breath on the spot, and just dying right there.

When they turned their heads to look at the ruins of the villa, amidst the blood and remains in the hall, some lights flickered, illuminating the phantom that seemed not to exist here.

As if coming from eternal chaos and the free wilderness, from the cruel forest of blood and death, the solemn Bai Lu looked back, looking toward this place.

From the call of this tragic hunt and competition, the shadow of Bai Lu responded to the call!

Witnessing this rich harvest.

This is...

"Virtue Invocation?" Old Tang gasped.

In the silence, the phantom-like Bai Lu walked lightly among the blood and corpses, walking step by step toward Jin Mao, and right in the midst of Jin Mao's ecstatic gaze and waiting, it turned a corner and continued forward.

Finally, it stopped in front of Ji Jue.

Silent overlook.

In the too-long gaze, Ji Jue was stiff, swallowed dryly, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What... are you doing?"

Bai Lu was silent, as if just sighing with regret, and turned to leave.

The phantom dissipated, leaving no trace.

Gone?!

Ji Jue widened his eyes, hard to believe.

"Hey, aren't you going to leave something behind?!"

He shouted in disbelief: "I also had output, leader, no, I'm the MVP! I'm the best in the whole game! Leader! Leader!!!!"

Unfortunately, no one responded.

Only Ji Jue, who had been watched for nothing for half a day, was dumbfounded.

For a long time, Old Tang came over, patted his shoulder: "Bai Lu seems to think highly of you."

"Really?" Ji Jue was dazed, unable to understand—if it really thought highly of him, why didn't it just tip a rocket, spaceship, or carnival? Where is there a case of just looking and closing the live broadcast room?

Old Tang sighed numbly: "Unfortunately, you're not on the path."

"Huh?"

Ji Jue was dumbfounded, "What are you saying?"

"What do you think!"

Old Tang looked at that innocent face, his teeth itching with anger, wishing he could punch him twice on the spot:

"Such a big wave of competition and struggle, a textbook hunt of the weak defeating the strong... if you had just been a little coy, shown off a bit of charm, said 'Brother Bai Lu is so fierce, Brother Bai Lu is so powerful, Bai Lu's Dao is so awesome,' maybe the Virtue would have bought you a bag!

As a result, the Virtue Invocation was already at your doorstep, almost personally pointing at you, and you dog thing didn't have half a thought!"

It's not that Bai Lu is stingy and won't give.

It's that you didn't want it!

The payment software was already open, but you didn't give them the QR code; how do you expect the boss to tip you?

He finally understood: Ji Jue, this dog thing, from beginning to end, didn't have any interest in Bai Lu's set... maybe a little interest, but really not much.

Never offered any enthusiasm.

Never felt any excitement or desire because of this hunt and competition of the weak defeating the strong, never longed for the wilderness represented by Bai Lu, just looking from afar.

This rocket, the boss held it in his hand all night, but didn't find a chance to send it out.

You didn't strive when given the chance!

Just glaring at him before leaving was already Bai Lu's rare good temper.

"When you encounter things, look for your own problems more, don't blame the Virtues!"

Old Tang was about to die of anger: "Did so much, got involved so deeply, but didn't have half an idea about the other party... what's the difference between this and a scumbag who cheats in marriage?"

"Hmm hmm."

Beside him, Little An, who had returned at some point, nodded vigorously, expressing approval, "Brother Ji Jue is like that."

Ji Jue's expression twitched.

Several times, he wanted to speak but stopped.

He could only slander, since when did Virtues care about pure love?

If I don't want it, can't you just force it on me!

Everyone is just playing around, drinking and having fun, getting what they need, isn't that enough? Why must it be about the heart, must be mutual love?

So disappointing!

But since Bai Lu didn't give it, he didn't feel any pity.

After all, he was currently at the Invocation stage and didn't need to seek Bai Lu's grace for the time being. Moreover, he didn't intend to indulge his desires, break the shackles, and throw himself into that wilderness of hunting.

And for Ember, the harvest tonight was already rich enough.

It was simply like celebrating the New Year.

Not to mention the miscellaneous alchemical items carried by other attackers, all of which could be used to practice the Dissociation Technique and increase his abilities. Although there was no workshop assistance and no way to save them in time before the blessing dissipated, the remaining corpses could still be used!

Ji Jue was busy like a diligent little bee, picking and choosing in the villa, preserving what could be used with mercury sealing; in no time, he had piled up a full cart.

Simply a diligent little expert at home.

In the end, he only hated that the mercury he brought wasn't enough, and could only try his best to preserve the parts that were easier to save and had higher value.

The rest, he painfully fed to the Ox-Horse.

Highlighting the principle of never wasting.

And while touching the last part, in the courtyard, he actually found a tattered bell, which seemed to be the relic left behind by the lightning old man just now.

Something that could survive Minerva's destruction, its gold content was simply explosive. Although he couldn't figure out how to use this thing for a while, it was never wrong to seal it up and keep it first.

After being busy for several hours, until the second half of the night, Ji Jue finally found time to comfort Chen Yubo who was still locked in the safe room.

Long nights have many dreams; who knows what will happen next, let him stay in the safe room first.

He also sternly warned him—I'm helping you purely out of friend loyalty, you must not return evil for good, don't come to find me to offer yourself in the next life...

Turning back, looking at Little An who was sitting obediently in the living room, Ji Jue laughed.

Carrying the medical kit, he beckoned to him.

Signaling him to come over.

"Injured?"

Ji Jue put on medical gloves, picked open the stitches of the T-shirt collar with a scalpel: "Don't move, let me see."

"It's fine, Brother Ji Jue."

Little An smiled: "Just a superficial wound, I've already applied medicine."

"Still have to be careful, it would be bad if it turns into an internal injury or doesn't heal well."

Ji Jue carefully cleaned the wound on his neck, applied medicine, and after bandaging it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's handled like this..."

His hands pressed gently on the boy's shoulders, as if comforting, but on his fair hands, complex patterns appeared.

Matrix · Non-Attack!

Instantly, it forcibly shackled and froze all spiritual quality operation, and the fingers that looked light as air were already pressed against the carotid artery through the thin skin.

Thus, the gentle tone suddenly turned cold—

After a night of endurance, finally, the dagger was revealed!

"Can you tell me, who exactly are you?"

Ji Jue bent down and asked curiously in his ear: "What did you do to my friend?"

"Brother Ji Jue?"

Little An was dazed, subconsciously wanting to turn his head, but his cervical spine and artery were being pressed, unable to move autonomously, his face full of confusion and nervousness: "What's wrong?"

Ji Jue raised his head and looked forward.

Right in front of them, the full-length mirror clearly reflected the appearance of the two, down to the finest detail. Unfortunately, a crack snaked across, splitting the harmony and smiles between the two.

Only cold remnants remained.

"I am Little An."

The boy blinked in confusion, puzzled: "Do you suspect someone is impersonating me?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's very similar, you don't need to learn anymore."

Ji Jue tightened his fingers coldly, "I admit, your tone, expression, and spiritual quality fluctuations are exactly the same as his, but it's very simple to judge whether you are Little An, just roll up your pant leg."

Little An raised his hand, slowly pulled up his pant leg, revealing the nail on his knee.

Exactly the same as the original.

In the short silence, Ji Jue finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank God."

He finally laughed: "I thought you were..."

Bang!

At that instant, amidst the smile, Ji Jue didn't hesitate to strike ruthlessly.

The spiritual quality operation of Non-Attack mercilessly disrupted the spiritual quality in the opponent's body, locked the blood flow of the carotid artery, and in an instant, his hands contracted, movement and stillness transformed, and he launched the Dissociation Technique!

But before that, his hand suddenly felt empty.

The shackles of Non-Attack were broken free.

Even the Natural Hand couldn't catch it, and the spiritual quality manipulation of Non-Attack didn't detect any signs of spiritual quality operation. It was just pure muscle operation, relying on the vibration and contraction that was perfect to the peak, without any pre-swing or warning, instantly breaking free from Ji Jue's shackles.

Dodge.

Appeared on the other side of the room.

Until now, that slender and slim boy couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Eh? Clearly, except for Mr. Zhang, even that Ether called Tong Hua didn't notice it." 'Little An' turned his head back, his smile pleasant: "Is it, too keen?"

Clearly still the same appearance as just now, but the aura was completely different, sharp as a blade, elusive as a phantom.

Hard to grasp.

Just staring at it made Ji Jue sweat profusely.

"... Is it possible to launch an attack on a friend you trust just because of simple paranoia?" 'Little An' shook his head, helplessly sighing: "Too much, Brother Ji Jue."

"Is Brother Ji Jue something you can call!"

Ji Jue pulled the trigger mercilessly, and amidst the loud noise, eight mutation bullets shot out without reservation; in this narrow room pre-selected by him, there was no room to dodge.

But at this moment, eight scorching bullets, the moment they left the chamber, actually all disappeared.

When 'Little An's' clenched fists opened, one complete bullet head after another fell from between his ten fingers, falling to the ground, and the mercury seal on them wasn't even triggered.

Unharmed.

"'Little An' still smiled, so sweet: "Just satisfy my curiosity, okay?"

"The reason is very simple—"

Ji Jue sneered, "Of course it's because you didn't memorize my Holy Words Record!!!" ===== CHAPTER 137 =====
