Chapter 808

Silver Wolf: "Plot twist, huh?"

Silver Wolf: "Now that I think about it, that scene really would be entertaining."

Hu Tao: "Although I'd love to see that scene too, unfortunately, Mr. Jiaoqiu clearly isn't a match for Hulei."

Hu Tao: "He can't pull off such an earth-shattering reversal."

Furina: "So next, Mr. Jiaoqiu should make up some lies to trick Hulei?"

Furina: "Otherwise this time he's really going to lose his life!"

Lumine: "Hulei isn't that easy to fool."

Lumine: "Whether it's true or false, he should be able to tell."

General Feixiao: "I don't have any unspeakable secrets, do I?"

General Feixiao: "What's the harm in telling Hulei about them?"

General Feixiao: "The moment he tried to defeat me by learning my weaknesses, he had already become a loser!"

Mavuika: "Well said! General Feixiao truly lives up to her reputation as the bane of the Abundance!"

The video continued.

【.... I can tell you everything about her, but you have to trade one answer for another.】

Jiaoqiu, enduring tremendous pain,

began to negotiate terms with Hulei.

【What delusion made you think you still have the right to bargain with me?】

Hulei raised an eyebrow,

looking at Jiaoqiu with ill intent.

【You can use torture to torment me until I speak; or... we could save some time for both of us, War Chief.】

Boothill: "Hahaha, good!"

Boothill: "Using that old dog's own words against him—Brother Jiao, I salute you as a real man!"

Himeko: "Mr. Jiaoqiu wants to use this opportunity to deepen his understanding of the Abundance, and thereby break the Moon Rage?"

Himeko: "That's a risky move."

Welt: "Mm... under normal circumstances, if Mr. Jiaoqiu negotiated with Hulei like this, the outcome would likely be quite tragic."

Welt: "But right now, for Hulei, time is critical—he has to save some time."

Welt: "Therefore, he may not necessarily refuse Mr. Jiaoqiu."

Stelle: "But the problem is, even if Jiaoqiu learns the truth, what then?"

Stelle: "Once Hulei reveals a secret like that, wouldn't he silence everyone?"

Stelle: "Think about it—it's impossible, right?"

March 7th: "What if, after Mr. Jiaoqiu learns the truth, he gets rescued right away?"

March 7th: "Wouldn't that be perfect?"

Jiaoqiu: "I'm not certain I can succeed."

Jiaoqiu: "But I have to try."

Jiaoqiu: "The me in the video must have been thinking exactly this at that moment."

The video continued.

【There's a question that's always troubled me.】

【Why, after being tortured for seven hundred years, can you still live on safe and sound?】

【The Abundance shouldn't have such long lifespans....】

【Nor could they have such tenacious regenerative abilities.】

Jiaoqiu posed his question.

【So this is why the Yaoqing Luofu Xianzhou wants to take me away?】

【To some people, I can be a hostage held in their hands.】

【But to others, what they want is the secret on my body—】

【I still remember, in those early years when I was first imprisoned, the fox people came and went....】

【They extracted blood and marrow from me, trying to unravel the cause of Moon Rage, to shake off their fear of the Abundance, and turn the tables from the very root of their bloodline.】

【Unfortunately, they couldn't penetrate this secret, and could only inflict upon me the most vicious punishments they could think of.】

【Some people pursue power to destroy their enemies; some pursue power to become their enemies....】

【Jiaoqiu, which one are you?】

【Ah, I see!】

【Physician of Yaoqing, you are the most pitiful kind—your pursuit of power is so you can share it with others, and use it to do good.】

【Then let me tell you the answer you want to know.】

Paimon: "Pursuing great power and using it to do good and help others—how is that pitiful?"

Lumine: "Paimon, this is a villain. To a villain, good deeds are clearly something they despise."

Boothill: "So I never waste words on big evils like this!"

Boothill: "They don't know shit about justice, don't know shit about mercy."

Boothill: "Any time I'd spend talking nonsense with them, I'd have already loved them to death many times over, by Toppy."

Stelle: "So true."

Stelle: "When you see a bastard like that, just beat them to death on the spot."

Stelle: "No need for more nonsense."

Stelle: "Can't be bothered to say more—they don't deserve to hear it anyway."

Silver Wolf: "Wait, is this Hulei out of his mind?"

Silver Wolf: "Doesn't he know villains die from talking too much?"

Silver Wolf: "And he's actually willing to open his mouth and spill his secrets?"

Silver Wolf: "I've got a feeling this is foreshadowing his own downfall."

Furina: "So how exactly is Hulei so much stronger than the other Buli people?"

Furina: "I remember the other Buli people were pretty fierce too, but their vitality was nowhere near as monstrous as his."

Hu Tao: "Whether it's the Buli people at the very start of the video or the ones in the Imprisonment Prison, they all die from a hit to a vital spot."

Hu Tao: "But with Hulei, it seems like the only way to kill him is to toss him into the sun?"

March 7th: "With recovery this powerful, I'd even suspect he's an Abundance Emanator."

Brother Dan Heng: "No—the Abundance Emanators are far more outrageous than he is!"

Brother Dan Heng: "Hulei's situation must be that he received a gift of Abundance power, but never reached the level of an Emanator."

Brother Dan Heng: "Only this can explain why the secret on him cannot be fathomed."

Brother Dan Heng: "Because the power of a Path has an irreproducible nature."

Marani: "Then let's hear Hulei's self-exposé."

Marani: "Let's hear exactly how he got this power."

The video continues.

【In ancient legends, the Buli people's progenitor Dulan was dissatisfied with his finite life and power; he longed to rule the skies and become master of the stars.】

【To that end he sacrificed the lives of countless Buli people and Fox people, pouring them into the spring water bestowed by the Longevity Lord. Driven by gene-sorcery, a miracle gestated within the water—the Moon of Fetal Movement.】

【After climbing onto the moon's birthing-bed, Dulan obtained from within what he had long dreamed of: a heart shaped like a crimson full moon.】

【Dulan cut open his own chest and used this crimson moon to replace his heart.】

Hulei spoke in a low, distant voice,

but told a story.

【Hah, don't try to fob me off with myths!】

Seeing Jiaoqiu believed Hulei was trying to fob him off,

that he didn't want to speak the truth.

【The Jianmu too is an outlandish myth.】

【But you people of Luofu Xianzhou know it is undeniably real.】

【This heart-moon has beaten within the bodies of the Buli War-Chiefs, generation after generation.】

【Because the Buli people's ritual for choosing a War-Chief is precisely this: the successor cuts open the predecessor's chest and devours the divine flesh, so that the strong may possess it!】
