Chapter 118: A Dark-Skinned Gyaru Isn't Necessarily a Onee-san; She Could Also Be Xingtian
"Hehe, Mr. Unknown, is that your move that can blow a person's head off directly?" Kristin stretched.
Red lightning bolts flickered back and forth across her body one after another.
Immediately after, her bewitchingly beautiful head grew back out from her neck, and her abdominal cavity covered in tentacles and sharp teeth stitched itself back together.
"Good grief, actually making me show such an unsightly state, you really are a..."
"Little hybrid!"
Saying this, she reached her hand forward and clenched it sharply.
Over a dozen tentacles rushed out from the ground beneath Li Cheng's feet.
He didn't even have time to put up any resistance before those tentacles pierced into his body.
Fresh blood splattered everywhere; Li Cheng stared blankly ahead, his pupils turning gray, life continuously slipping away from him.
The sprinting Lilith also froze in place: "Li, Li Cheng, you... no, impossible..."
Kristin walked slowly to Li Cheng's front, cupping his chin, and smiled: "Little hybrid, honestly, you really brought me some good entertainment."
"Clearly only 2nd Rank, yet you're far more interesting than those 7th Stage Rank 8 pieces of trash."
"That exploding head move is completely undefendable; I don't even know where you drew the power of the stars from."
"If the Regeneration Witch Adult hadn't bestowed Undying on me, I really would've been killed by you."
"You are a respectable opponent, so you must die here."
"Hope after you Return to Abyss, you'll learn a lesson."
Saying this, Kristin released Li Cheng's chin and snapped her fingers.
Those tentacles piercing through his body instantly became terrifying chainsaws; amidst the ear-piercing whirring, Li Cheng's body was dismembered into eight pieces, chopped into debris.
After doing all this, she still seemed to feel it wasn't safe enough.
Scorching flames emerged again in Kristin's palm.
The flames completely enveloped Li Cheng's body; in a few seconds, they burned it into charcoal.
"Then, respectable little hybrid, good night."
Kristin looked at her handiwork, nodded in satisfaction, turned and left.
Lilith collapsed beside "Li Cheng", looking at this scene in disbelief, hot tears continuously welling from her ruby-like pupils.
"Li Cheng, Li Cheng, no, how could this be... wuwu."
"I'm too weak, I'm not qualified to be a Savior Goddess, I trusted your judgment too much, I should've persuaded you not to come here."
Just like that, after crying for a while, footsteps suddenly sounded again.
Lilith raised her head full of hope: "Li Cheng, is it you?"
But what she got wasn't Li Cheng, but the returning Kristin.
"Tch, no Rebirth, and no one to collect his corpse either? Looks like I Overthought it."
Kristin narrowed her eyes and casually tossed out another small Black Hole.
Li Cheng's charred Corpse was also devoured by that Black Hole, turning into Dust, Annihilated completely.
Just as if he had never come to this World.
"What a pity, thought I could lure an even Larger fish."
Kristin left completely, even taking away a portion of the Dust on her way.
After she erased everything of Li Cheng, she naturally had no reason to come back again.
Lilith stared blankly at that Dust, eyes swimming with tears.
She vigorously wiped her tear-streaked face, gathered the Dust from the sky with her hands, forcibly holding back the Sadness, but the sobbing in her voice still Exposed her current pain.
"Li Cheng... rest assured... you'll be fine, I brought you to this World, I will definitely Save you."
"This is all my fault, I failed to fulfill a Goddess's duty gua! Wuwuwu."
"I'll take you to the Savior Goddess's Domain, I'll beg the Mother Goddess Adult, I'll have her Rebirth you... wuwuwu."
"I don't want to go permanent this life, I want you to live! Li Cheng! You're my, my First Time, wuwuwu..."
"What are you saying?"
"I said, I don't want to go permanent this life, I want Li Cheng to live—eh?" Lilith cried halfway, suddenly felt something was off, looked behind her.
Only to see a youth holding two Tree Branches, looking at her inexplicably.
That gentle Sunlight Smile, if not Li Cheng, who else could it be? "Ah? How are you not dead ya!" Lilith Shocked.
"You really hope I die?" Li Cheng raised his eyebrows.
"No, this, I, this..." Lilith looked at the Dust collected in her arms, then at Li Cheng: "This..."
"Substitute Puppet bought from the Mother Goddess of Suffering, 6000 Prestige, damn it, can only be used twice." Li Cheng gritted his teeth in hatred: "Did Not Expect it'd be used up this fast the First Time."
"Puppet?"
"Right, can swap with the True Body at the brink of death; without preparing a life-saving thing, how could I rashly come Deal With this kind of monster."
Li Cheng looked at Lilith inexplicably: "Right, what were you crying about just now?"
"Ah?"
Lilith froze again.
Facing Li Cheng's doubtful Gaze, Lilith's Mouth Corner Twitched.
The words she just said, sentence by sentence, smashed back like a Boomerang.
Social, Social Death.
This Defying Heaven thing, used a normal attack to bait a Big Move again! Her toes continuously rubbed against the ground, soon scratching out a castle's Appearance.
But Lilith is Lilith after all; just two seconds later, she recovered her usual thick skin.
Wiped the tears off her face, stubbornly Raised Head: "I, Cough Cough, I was talking nonsense just now! I actually saw through your scheme long ago, me being like that just now was just to... um, liven up the Atmosphere, that's right!"
"Liven up the atmosphere?" Big Boss furrowed his brow, no longer paying attention to this Artificial Intelligence, and drilled into the forest.
"Hey, wait for me, Big Boss!" Lilith floated behind him, fingers rubbing back and forth, asking timidly: "Right, did you, did you just now hear..."
"Hear what?"
"Just, just probation, confirmation, that sort of thing."
"Didn't hear."
"Good then, good then." Lilith patted her chest, extended one finger: "Big Boss, I must emphasize, I, Savior Goddess Lilith, am a professional Goddess."
"Oh." Big Boss nodded.
"I'm serious, believe me, believe me!"
"Oh." Big Boss nodded again.
"Don't just 'oh' me, believe me!"
"Mhm." Big Boss nodded yet again.
"Aaaah!!" Lilith hugged her head, going crazy with frustration.
"Alright, stop arguing, be quiet for a bit."
Big Boss knocked on her forehead, found a spot, sat down, closed eyes to rest.
Lilith puffed her cheeks and sat beside him, secretly glancing at him, her hanging heart finally relaxing down.
'Truly a worrisome child, good thing he didn't hear what I said, otherwise it would be complete social death...'
Big Boss yawned; actually, just now Lilith's words, he heard them all.
After this period of contact, he increasingly felt Lilith was just like a real person.
She has joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and can liven the atmosphere; although most of the time she's stupid like an idiot, but how to put it...
This character design truly has flesh and blood.
Such strong immersion and sense of presence, Quantum Technology, you made this game really well! "But next, I'll have to think of a way to solve this Kristin."
"Big Boss, you still want to deal with that monster? Didn't you hear her? She's Undying!" Lilith got anxious: "Your trump cards are all useless against her, we absolutely cannot win, hurry up and hide!"
"Anyway she thinks you're dead now, you hide for two more days, and you can return!"
"An S-rank Position Card is also enough to exchange for a pretty good Reward!"
She was truly anxious.
In Lilith's view, the risk of dealing with Kristin was simply too great.
That kind of pressure, was something Lilith had never seen or felt in all this journey.
Even the Head Explosion Technique triggered by 3000 Magic Badge Stones had no way to deal with her.
Wanting to kill such an enemy was simply impossible.
This is seeking death.
"That won't do, how can there be a task right in front yet give up the logic." Big Boss glanced at her: "And, we also don't necessarily need to face her head-on."
"Not going head-on, you plan to go around back?" Lilith doubtful.
"Hehe." Big Boss laughed and took out the Regeneration Badge obtained earlier: "Forgot? Just now Kristin said, if not for the Regeneration Witch bestowing her power, she would've died long ago."
"Wait, what meaning, what connection does this have with the Badge?" Lilith even more doubtful. Big Boss didn't intend to explain, playing with the Badge in hand.
In the previous two days' investigation, he learned City Hall was not monolithic; the leadership inside belonged to different factions respectively.
And Mayor Kristin and Administrative Director Pilt and others were one faction.
These people all had one common point — they were not born from the Fraud Cult, nor from the Abyss's noble families.
Yet they all mixed up to such high positions, in the City of Deception their words carried weight.
In the City of Deception, civilians without background absolutely could not go this far.
This shows, behind them, there must be some backer hidden, some backer who can stand on equal footing with the Fraud Mother Goddess and the City of Deception's native nobles.
And now, Big Boss knew who this backer was —
The Regeneration Witch, this character who in the original version game only existed in the background story.
This Witch, one hand holds City Hall's leadership Pilt and Kristin, the other hand holds Half-Demon Race leader Lady Anka, truly turning clouds with a flip of the hand, rain with a flip of the hand.
Very obviously, within the City of Deception, the increasingly tense relationship between the Demon Race and Half-Demon Race cannot be separated from this Witch.
But why this Witch does this, Big Boss still couldn't figure out.
Perhaps only using the key obtained from Anka, opening a certain Altar's door afterwards, would he be able to find the answer.
But no matter how you say it, at this moment, Big Boss had already found the method to break the deadlock.
He still had one Concept Level trump card — 【Merciful Wicked Grin】 not used.
【You are the ancient Greek god in charge of face-slapping; when you want to slap face, pay sufficient Magic Badge Stones, then fabricate deceptive lies according to your own thoughts; when your frame-up can be self-consistent, the face-slap will take effect.】
【Merciful Wicked Grin】 + 【Regeneration Witch's Badge】 + large amount of Magic Badge Stones, should be enough to whitewash his identity. — The sky's edge rippled with fish belly white.
City Hall's door.
Pilt and others had long been waiting here.
They were Mayor Kristin faction officials, and also all Regeneration Witch's subordinates.
Click-clack of high heels sounded.
Kristin walked up the steps; the officials hurriedly knelt on one knee.
"Mayor Adult, welcome your return."
"All rise."
"Thank Mayor Adult." Pilt stepped forward, bowed apologizing: "Sorry, Adult, Unknown has already disappeared, should be last night news leaked, but Adult rest assured, we've already issued a Pursuit Order, should not take long to catch him back."
"No need." Kristin waved hand: "That reckless little guy, last night came to ambush me."
"What!" Pilt was quite frightened: "This, this is truly my negligence!"
"No matter. I was still a bit angry at first, but after meeting that little guy, I can understand why you were deceived, why you're wary of him." Kristin smiled. "Pilt, you should be glad you didn't go to war with him."
"Otherwise, your head wouldn't be on your neck right now."
"Thank you, Adult, for the guidance." Pilt bowed.
"Hmm, the death penalty can be spared, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. Pilt, I'll fine you half a year's salary."
"Thank you, Adult, for the grace. Just don't know about Unknown he..." Pilt deliberated.
"Rest assured, he won't have the chance to see us again. I've already sent him back to the Abyss." Kristin stood with hands behind his back. "By the way, what about that little guy's companions?"
"They've all been brought under control already."
"Hehe, good. Heard his beloved is in there too?"
"Of course."
……
Meanwhile.
In the guard prison on the first floor of City Hall.
Several examinees and Vivian and the others were all tied up and locked together.
Mu alone was tied in the corner, struggling hard to break free of the ropes.
Nalan Yu persuaded: "Don't waste your effort. The binding on us is a high-level Relic. The more you struggle, the tighter it binds."
"Then what do we do? We can't just sit and wait for death!" Mu shouted. "Damn it, what's with these Demon Race? They still obeyed my orders yesterday!"
"Heh, maybe it's that Underwear-on-Head Legion you created, it's too disgusting, they couldn't take it anymore, so they want to kill us all." Another examinee muttered.
These past few days, they went out wearing underwear on their heads, it was beyond social death.
Social death would be fine, but the most outrageous thing was, this Mu, after seeing everyone wearing them, actually took his off.
Said this would show his leader's aura.
I leader your grandpa leader!
"Although this matter is abstract, us being caught definitely isn't for such a simple reason." Anli shook his head. "I guess Li Cheng Da Ren ran into trouble."
"Mm, that can only be the reason." Nalan Yu sighed.
Before being caught, her Position Card, with Li Cheng's help, had already been upgraded to B-Rank.
She originally thought this Secret Realm Exploration would pass safely.
She even fantasized about what kind of Blessing the World Tree would give her in such a high-level illusion.
Because she thought too deeply, she rarely had a downhead wet dream last night.
In the dream, she was tied up by Li Cheng in a Turtle Shell Binding...
After waking from the dream, she was ashamed, knocking the Order Wooden Fish all morning and couldn't recover.
By afternoon, she finally recovered.
But didn't expect, in one night.
She fell from heaven into hell.
"Li Cheng ah Li Cheng, truly didn't expect, a genius like you also couldn't conquer the Secret Realm, fate, timing ah!" Nalan Yu sighed endlessly. "Perhaps this is heaven envying talent."
"Li Cheng Brother won't have any trouble! You woman don't speak nonsense!" Karenina struggled, twisting her body, tone angry. "Someone like Li Cheng Brother, a newborn Dong Xi, absolutely won't have trouble!"
Can't even tell if you're cursing him or praising him... Nalan Yu's mouth corner twitched. "Karenina, I know you're suffering, after all Li Cheng is your Trio's leader."
"But what's done is done. What we need to think about now is how to escape from here."
"I don't care, you simply don't know how strong Li Cheng Brother is, he absolutely won't have trouble!" Karenina stared ruthlessly at Nalan Yu.
Just then, a trance-like voice sounded.
"Excuse me... the person you speak of, is Cheng Big Brother?" Vivian's pupils trembled, she opened her mouth.
"Mm, that's right, the one they speak of is your Cheng Big Brother."
Footsteps sounded, Kristin led City Hall officials out from the shadows.
Her charming eyes swept over the few people, finally stopping on Vivian's face. "Heh, Half-Demon little guy, Unknown caused so much trouble just to curry favor with you, right?"
"It's not..." Vivian stubbornly raised her head. "Unknown isn't such a narrow-minded person. He promoted the Anti-Half-Demon Discrimination Law to better build the City of Deception!"
"You TM call a 50% population drop better building the City of Deception?"
Before Kristin could speak, the official behind her couldn't sit still.
"Why say so much to them!" Karenina suddenly stood up, bracing her head against the door frame. "Where's Unknown? Where did you take him?"
Once Little Birth hears anything related to Li Cheng, she loses rationality.
"Hehe, since you want to see him so much, then let you see him."
Kristin took out a Small Bottle from her bosom, opened the cap, and sprinkled the Dust before everyone.
That dust hadn't even had time to fall to the ground before it drifted into the air and disappeared.
"You... what do you mean?" Karenina gritted her teeth.
"You wanted to see him? As you see, he's right here." Kristin smiled.
"I'll ask you once more, you... what meaning." Karenina's pink pupils flashed with black light, dense Death Qi also gathering on her body.
Her aura expanded bit by bit, from Second Stage to Third Rank, then to Fourth Rank...
"Heh, good talent, such dense Abyss Power, given time, you might become some Mother God's Divine Son, pity, this Awakening, you have no chance."
"Rest assured, he's already Returned to Abyss. Soon, you'll go back with him too."
Vivian stared blankly at the dust, muttering: "Cheng Big Brother..."
Her left pupil kept turning blue, her face also twisting from time to time.
Everyone looked pityingly at the dust drifting away.
Nalan Yu closed her eyes.
Just Then, a warm and pleasant voice rang out from the darkness, interrupting the Crowd's Sadness.
"I Say, Lady Kristin, I clearly haven't Died, so you scaring these children like this, isn't that not too good?"
Big Boss Smiled, and Walked Out...
