Chapter 178: Mantis Blocking the Chariot, Cicada Swallowing the Oriole!

Mantis Blocking the Chariot, Cicada Swallowing the Oriole!

The Prisoner stepped forward again.

He just snapped his fingers lightly, and on a branch above the three people's heads, a trapped, armless person appeared and fell down, smashing straight in front of Seeing Bai Ling.

The huge commotion made Cheng Shi and Seeing Bai Ling's pupils shrink, their faces even uglier.

Mo Wu!

This mantis watching the show had already been defeated by the oriole.

He saw him rolling on the ground, his eyeballs spinning wildly, his hands and feet twitching non-stop, clearly having "seen" some great terror!

"The Punishment Song of the Nightmare Demon.

He saw the most terrifying image in the depths of his heart and can no longer pose a threat to you.

Curious?

How a source of disaster with insufficient heat followed you into the void and came here through His creation?

The answer is obviously not, right?

Of course it was through my hands.

He thought his performance was flawless, turned his head at the moment of escape, and found a parasitic host that could carry him without falling behind.

But it's a pity that among so many people present, he happened to choose me.

Interesting.

He is unfortunate, yet lucky.

Because only I could deceive everyone's cognition better than him and bring him here...

And for such a fun thing, I guess 【Deception】 wouldn't refuse.

Facts proved that I guessed right, ha.

Alright, the story has been told long enough; why, still unwilling to give up?

What are you waiting for?

Waiting for that silly, cute Order Knight, or that passionate Knowledge Poet?

Or that... Knowledge Scholar who really made me look at him with admiration?

No need to wait, they won't return.

Everyone will only think we are 'friendly and urgently' formulating a battle plan.

Since nothing happened in the laboratory, they will naturally go do what they should do."

Cheng Shi's face sank even further upon hearing this; his peripheral vision looked out, and he indeed saw Fang Shiqing and Cui Qiushi had already joined Ji Yue's battlefield.

They seemed to have ignored this place, knowing nothing about everything that happened here.

"Alright, my patience is limited.

Little bird, tell me, how did you see through me? Say it, and I can spare...

Hmm, spare the one behind you.

You probably don't care about your own life.

But, you care about his."

Seeing Bai Ling had been concentrating on guarding, but after hearing this, her breath paused, and she bit her lips tightly.

Cheng Shi just wanted to open his mouth to tell her not to pay attention, but Seeing Bai Ling said the reason a step before him.

"Covetousness, I can quantify other people's covetousness.

The moment you turned around, you...

Wanted my life."

The Prisoner raised his eyebrows, suddenly enlightened.

"Interesting, I miscalculated, hmm, everyone will miscalculate, and I am no exception.

Who could have thought that a 1400-point Sensory Hunter would have an S-level talent.

Not bad, not bad, you can be considered worthy of them.

Very well, the final fun has been heard; now, it's time for the harvest."

Saying this, the Prisoner raised his hand again, preparing to snap his second finger.

But just at this moment, Cheng Shi broke the silence he had maintained, shed his solemnity, and suddenly laughed.

He laughed wantonly, he laughed crazily.

He laughed while looking at the Prisoner before him whose expression was slightly stunned, looking playful:

"I say, you high-level players, how come you are all so...

Shameless?

Harvest?

Where do you want to harvest from?

Do you think you are calculating everything and are about to win?

Hahaha, hahahahaha.

How dare you say that in front of His favored one?"

Cheng Shi suddenly restrained his laughter, sank his expression, and stared at the Prisoner's eyes with a pair of sharp pupils, emitting cold light like the Nine Nether Abyss.

"Did I say I'd let you win?"

After saying this, he snapped his fingers a step ahead of the Prisoner.

"Snap."

A crisp sound.

Seeing Bai Ling turned her head violently, and the Prisoner's brows locked tight.

In the suspicious and gloomy gazes of the two...

【Existence】 twisted, 【Memory】 dissipated.

【Sea Dream's Foam】 ended its effect at this moment; in this very instant, the images of Cheng Shi in everyone's minds vanished like smoke.

It was as if this person had never come at all.

Cheng Shi never trusted anyone.

When he was summoned by Fang Shiqing and jumped into that beam of light in the void, he had already heard some fragmented fragments about the Fire-Bringers' crisis.

It was from that moment that he decided to play the role of a hero behind the scenes in this crisis.

Yes, a hero behind the scenes.

He didn't reject helping them out, but this confidence wasn't given by 【Deception】, but by 【Memory】.

Dream of the Sea of Memories!

This SSS-level relic from a god was Cheng Shi's confidence that he could stay behind the scenes.

So!

The moment he got up from the corpse, when his arms shook off the blood, he had already activated the first effect of the Dream of the Sea of Memories: Sea Dream's Foam.

In this way, within 24 hours, he would not leave any memory in this trial.

And coincidentally, the Fire-Bringers only had 24 hours left.

So!

Only then did he dare to ask about Zhao Qian in front of Fang Shiqing and the others, frankly admit he was a clown in front of everyone, and talk loudly in the void about identifying as a Fire-Bringer!

He didn't trust them; he had already left a backup for this trust.

So!

At this very moment, when Cheng Shi snapped his fingers, which meant the end of the timing, all the traces he had painted in everyone's minds today disappeared.

I said, I can give at most 50% trust.

When I trust you unconditionally, I'm sorry, you've already been deceived by me.

Seeing Bai Ling's expression changed from suspicion to confusion, and the Prisoner's expression changed from gloom to astonishment.

And just at the moment when the "forgetting" took effect, Cheng Shi didn't waste the opportunity!

He covered himself with a mask for the first time, then pulled out a scalpel, and without saying a word, rushed forward, slashing toward the...

Seeing Bai Ling!

Seeing Bai Ling saw the silver light coming toward her face, her pupils shrinking.

But this time she didn't let herself be slaughtered.

Although she didn't know who this "enemy" wearing a mask was, she still dodged the blow nimbly and shot an arrow at Cheng Shi's thigh with a backhand!

The long arrow entered the flesh, pulling at emotions; Cheng Shi's eyes instantly turned red, and he panted.

However, his reaction was also fast; although he couldn't dodge and was hit by the arrow, he still punched Seeing Bai Ling in the waist, then rolled away while enduring the severe pain in his leg, and happened to roll to the Prisoner's feet.

He knelt on the ground, his eyes gloomy, panting.

"Musician, what are you still stunned for, do it!

She took all the petals of the Whisper Tree; if we don't snatch them back, how can we report to Lord Ultraman!"

"Hum—"

The Prisoner, who was still cautiously recalling the current situation, heard this name, and his brain buzzed.

This masked person actually knew that Lord.

Was he one of his own?

Was he... sent by that Lord to assist him?

Seeing the Prisoner still not moving, Cheng Shi cursed in a hurry.

"Damn, can't count on anyone, I'll do it myself!"

His movements were fast; ignoring his bleeding thigh, he kicked the ground and rose violently, the scalpel in his hand stabbing toward Seeing Bai Ling again.

And this time, Seeing Bai Ling, whose brain was still confused, finally didn't dodge, being stabbed in the left arm by the knife, throwing out a line of bright red blood.

She cried out in pain, and at the same time, she whipped Cheng Shi back with her bow.

This blow landed solidly on Cheng Shi's neck; if Cheng Shi's movement had been a fraction slower, his neck would have been cut off directly by Seeing Bai Ling's bowstring.

Cheng Shi took a cold breath, and while bowing back, he secretly stabbed himself in the chest again.

And Seeing Bai Ling staggered back while holding her arm, retreating to the curtain wall of the laboratory with a solemn face.

Two attacks blocked, two narrow escapes from death; this non-fake confrontation finally won a little trust from the Prisoner. He stepped forward half a step and cautiously used his fingers to hold Cheng Shi, who was about to fall to the ground.

Cheng Shi felt his back suddenly supported by a powerful hand; his body stiffened violently, and he gave an instinctive counter-stab with his hand.

"Ding—"

The scalpel tip was again steadily clamped by two fingers that were almost metallic. The Prisoner sneered, looking at the "companion" who had twisted half his body with a scrutinizing gaze, and said disdainfully:

"Killed until your eyes are red?

You have the face to call yourself that with such little strength?

How could that Lord send a weakling like you to help me..."

But before he could finish, he saw the "own person" under his hand hook the corners of his mouth.

Bad, going to be in trouble!

He retracted his hand violently and wanted to retreat, but... it was too late.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

Cheng Shi didn't spare the charging of his ring at all; these thunders, filled by the dead city guard knights on the ruins, roared and smashed onto the Prisoner one after another.

The distance between the two was too close, so close that the plasma had reached its destination before it could accelerate.

"..."

The Prisoner only saw a flash of purple arc light coming toward his face; he didn't even have the chance to spit out a "no," and his whole person was submerged in the ocean of thunder.

In an instant, he turned into a charred corpse.

He didn't even leave a whole corpse before he was annihilated into ash by the second and third shots that followed.

And just at the moment the Prisoner dispersed into ashes, Cheng Shi kicked the ground and rushed forward again, raising his hand for another thunderbolt, smashing toward...

Mo Wu on the ground.

This source of disaster, who had been controlled by the Prisoner for a long time and only woke up because of his death, hadn't even sorted out his consciousness before he saw a familiar purple arc light explode on his forehead.

"Boom—"

The thunder light vanished, and the charred corpse was born again.

The four living people in the laboratory were struck to death by lightning in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Shi looked at the charred corpse in front of him, and his tense heartstrings finally relaxed by one-tenth.

He hooked his mouth slightly and muttered in a low voice:

"Tsk, villains die from talking too much.

This truth has been passed down for so many years, why don't you understand it yet?

Fortunately, I am a villain who talks little.

Uh...

Not really.

But I usually beep after you are all dead.

Beep." ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
