Chapter 232 What a joke!
Chapter 232 What a joke! (Kiritsugu crying face.jpg)
Hearing Gu Wu's doubts, Russell nodded hesitantly.
Because he does have a lot of doubts in his mind now.
However, after seeing the young man in front of him admit that everything he saw was done by him, Gu Wu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say: "."
The man in the black suit felt extremely complicated at this moment.
Because just now when those two demons were wiped out, he felt incomparable pressure.
The sense of threat posed by the eraser to him was even greater than that posed by his own president, Jin Ping.
"Good job, Six."
After a long while, he finally uttered a few words in a dry voice.
It’s no wonder that Gu Wu has this attitude.
You have to know that when he first met Russell, he was just a bronze-level trash.
The last time we met, I had just entered the gold level.
But now, less than two months have passed since their last meeting, and the young man has already found the means to threaten him.
No, it cannot be said to be a threat.
It should be said that he had no power to resist.
After all, judging from what had just happened, Gu Wu thought to himself that if that method were used on him, he would only be able to wait for death.
It's despairing, but it's the truth.
As if seeing through Gu Wu's thoughts, Russell just casually said, "It's hard to copy, Fifth Brother."
It’s not that he wanted to expose this information actively.
He was afraid that what if Gu Wu felt that he could use this method at will and assigned him a high-risk task?
Everyone knows their own business, and Russell didn't dare to gamble his life on whether the characteristic of "Attention from the Superior" would be triggered again if he really encountered a high-level demon.
Just in case, it’s better to treat it as a one-time ability.
After hearing Russell's explanation, Gu Wu suddenly understood and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Yes, if you want to use this kind of killer move, the price you pay will probably be high.
He was so frightened just now that he lost his composure for a moment.
Thinking of this, the man in the black suit pretended to be calm, straightened his cuffs, and managed his expression again: "Since you solved it yourself, I will go back first."
"It would be troublesome if someone saw it."
Hearing this, Russell nodded silently. At this moment, his mind was filled with a thousand thoughts and he had no time to pay attention to Gu Wu.
Watching the other person leave, he fell into thought.
From everything that just happened, Russell was sure that this was caused by Spider-Man's characteristics. After all, the scene just now was indeed very similar to the appearance of the evil god [D] in the original work.
However, that time, the evil god [D] did not show the ability to erase living things.
"It can't really be the evil god [D], right?"
Russell was a little hesitant. After all, cross-universe law enforcement was still a bit too outrageous.
But he couldn't think of any possible candidates for a moment.
After all, the only person he knew on Lan Xing who could be considered the ceiling was Ye Zhou.
Not even his teacher Bai Yueming.
Ye Zhou's title is [Eternal Light]. If a sun had just appeared and burned Will and the others to death, Russell might have guessed that it was the hall-level card maker.
But obviously not.
If it wasn't Ye Zhou, then the other hall-level card makers were even less likely, after all, Russell didn't even know them.
If you think this way, you can basically rule out the possibility that the person on the other end of the phone is a card maker.
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he could only suppress his doubts in his heart.
However, just as he was about to leave and return to Donglai, two strange auras emerged from the place where Will and Gacy had disappeared before.
".material?"
Arriving at the location where the two demons were wiped out, Russell looked a little stunned as he looked at the two card-like things floating in the air.
He took the two pieces of material into his palm and muttered to himself, "How did the material come out?"
According to Russell's previous experience, it is generally impossible to collect materials from demons whose bodies are not left.
He has given up the idea of getting rich.
But who would have thought that Will and the others actually dropped the materials.
Gold-level [Pirate Swordsman] (Red).
“Canadian”
The material revealed by the sword-wielding young man was exactly the same as that identified by Spider-Girl.
But Will's material
"Gold Level [Kingly Power] (Red)."
"How can it be a gold-level material?!"
Russell looked blankly at the material in his hand that should belong to Will.
Will is undoubtedly an emerald grade, and normally the material that is revealed must also be emerald grade.
But the one he has now is of gold grade.
Only red quality.
Russell suspected that some middlemen were taking kickbacks.
But he has no evidence.
".But can this material be used by Luffy?"
With the self-comforting thought that having something is better than having nothing, Russell put the two pieces of material away.
“It’s time to go back.”
Russell let out a long sigh, pinched his brows tiredly, and asked the ghost soldier to take him back to Donglai.
Now that Will and Gacy were dead, Donglai was basically out of danger, so he didn't need to rush back.
And even though Spider-Girl and Freellian are still alive, it would be difficult if he ran into a card maker from the Donglai Association who came out to look for him on his way back.
Donglai, on the coast.
Looking at the remaining steel warships that had fallen silent in the distance, Wan Lin's face was serious.
"What's the situation in the city?" He was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice to Bian Lan beside him.
Bian Lan also looked solemn: "President Sima is already organizing the evacuation."
"but."
"Did President Luo really disappear with that Emerald Level Demon?"
Hearing this, Wan Lin nodded with difficulty.
He witnessed all of this with his own eyes, so it couldn't be false.
Although he didn't understand what happened.
"I'm afraid." Bian Lan had mixed feelings, because she went back to the city to inform Sima Huai of the appearance of the Emerald Level Demon, so she didn't know the situation at the scene.
All I know is that when I came back, Wan Lin said that the young Vice President Luo and the two demons had disappeared at the battle site.
I have no idea whether I am alive or dead.
"President Luo is in great danger."
As much as I don't want to admit this fact, this is the most common-sense inference at the moment.
President Luo must have used himself as bait to lure away the two high-risk demons.
This bought Donglai precious time.
Logically, this was indeed the best option in the previous situation. If it were any other time, the two of them would only maintain the highest respect for it.
But the bad thing is.
Russell is also Bai Yueming's disciple.
Although Wan Lin and his team, as card makers working in the coastal area for many years, have long been familiar with the character of Bai Yueming, a master card maker, they will definitely not be angry with them because of this.
If someone really gets angry at you, demotion is the lightest punishment you can get.
“This is going to be difficult.”
The two looked at each other and saw a hint of bitterness in each other's eyes.
Just then, two low whispers came from behind them.
The two of them turned around quickly and saw that Zeng Bo and Lu Yan, who had fallen into coma due to the impact of the arrival of the Emerald Level Demon, had opened their eyes.
Thanks to Wan Lin's timely support and the fact that Will and Gacy were led away by Russell, the two of them did not suffer any harm.
Under Downs's leadership, the remaining demons did not attack the coast again.
It's not that I don't want to, but the main reason is that without Gacy and Will, the remaining rotten fish and shrimp are just a waste of food.
".What's going on?" The middle-aged man with a square face covered his head with his hands as if in pain, his face full of confusion.
The incident happened suddenly, and before he and Zeng Bo could react, they fainted because they were in the center of Will's aura.
Zeng Bo on the side still had that deadpan look on his face, but judging from his furrowed brows, he seemed to be feeling unwell too.
Seeing this, Wan Lin and the other two surrounded them with concern: "Directors, are you okay?"
Lu Yan covered his face with one hand and struggled to get up with the help of Bian Lan: "What happened?"
Hearing this question, Wan Lin and the other man quickly recounted what had just happened with heavy expressions.
Lu Yan's expression kept switching between surprise, fear, and anger. If there was a Sichuan opera face-changing master present, he would probably ask him for advice.
Finally, he was silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "So Vice President Luo led the Emerald Level Demon away, right?"
Lu Yan did not expect to get an answer. When he asked this question, the answer was already in his heart.
He couldn't imagine how the Gold-class could survive at the hands of the Emerald-class.
Even though Vice President Luo is extremely talented, the gap in strength is still difficult to bridge.
Rather, it was beyond his imagination that he could successfully lure away an Emerald-level and a Gold-level at the same time.
Zeng Bo, who was standing by, was not surprised that there would be an emerald-level demon. After all, their Qi Ling Society was the first to know the news.
What he didn't expect was that the timing of the emerald-level demon's appearance was so unfortunate.
"Fortunately that person was willing to sacrifice himself, otherwise...
"But I think the adults will be happy."
At this moment, the middle-aged man with the expressionless face felt not only the remaining fear, but also an inexplicable joy.
Just as the four of them had different thoughts, a voice sounded beside them.
"What are you four talking about?"
They turned around and saw Sima Huai.
The president of the East Leica Association finally arrived.
After all, an Emerald Level demon appeared, so his excuses were no longer effective.
Don’t worry about whether it’s a sect or not for now. If we really let an Emerald Level demon into the city, it would be no different from a wolf entering a sheepfold.
By then, Donglai will probably become a stronghold of demons.
Although if it were only an emerald-level demon, it would be quickly wiped out by the association.
After meeting Sima Huai, Wan Lin recounted what had happened before.
Who would have thought that Sima Huai looked a little strange after hearing what happened.
I don’t know if it was Wan Lin and Bian Lan’s illusion, but they always felt that President Sima seemed to be gloating over other people’s misfortune.
But when I looked closely, I only saw a look of pity: "Alas, God is jealous of talented people."
"Donglae will remember President Luo's dedication."
Seeing this, Zeng Bo curled his lips but didn't say much.
A hint of anger appeared on Lu Yan's face, but he finally just pursed his lips and swallowed the words in his throat.
In order to suppress the corners of his mouth that were harder to suppress than AK, Sima Huai mentioned another matter as if nothing had happened: "I have already reported the matter of the Emerald Level Demon. There should be an Emerald Level Card Creator coming to support us soon. Don't worry, the four of you."
Hearing this, Wan Lin and Bian Lan felt relieved.
As long as an emerald-level card maker arrives, Donglai’s crisis will be resolved.
Just as they fell into silence, a somewhat familiar voice came from beside them.
"I'm glad to see that no one was injured."
The sudden sound caused several people to turn their heads and look.
The person that came into view was Russell, whom they had just been discussing.
Several people widened their eyes. The scene before them was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. The young man who had been sentenced to death in their hearts was actually standing here.
Besides looking a little disheveled, he wasn't even injured.
"You're not dead?!" A somewhat surprised voice suddenly sounded.
It’s Sima Huai.
As if realizing his own gaffe, the president of the East Laika Master Association quickly added, "It's great that President Luo is not dead."
"You are worthy of being the pillar of the Ming Dynasty."
Russell glanced at Sima Huai who was pretending to be sincere, and couldn't help but said, "Oh, President Sima is here too?"
You really can't blame Russell. Anyone in his position would probably feel a little resentful, right?
If it weren't for Sima Huai's tricks, Russell wouldn't have had to risk his life today.
Although I consider myself to be a good person, being a good person does not necessarily mean being a saint.
Besides, should good people be pointed at with guns?
Russell silently raised the priority of killing the guy in front of him and ignored him.
Sima Huai was also embarrassed by Russell's sarcasm for a while, but he finally said with a thick face and a normal expression: "Look at what President Luo said. As the president of the association, how can I back down at this time?"
Hearing this, the other three gold-level card makers who belonged to the Donglai Card Maker Association curled their lips.
Wan Lin and Bian Lan felt that the atmosphere between the four of them was a little strange, but as outsiders who didn't understand the contradictions, they had no interest in exploring these things. They just asked Luo Su the biggest question in their hearts: "President Luo, where is the Emerald Level Demon?"
"died."
Russell uttered these two words in a casual manner.
died?
Those two short words exploded like a bomb in the hearts of the others.
They repeated these two words in their hearts in a daze.
The huge impact made them confused for a moment.
After a long while, Sima Huaicai was the first to come back to his senses. He laughed dryly a few times and said, "Is President Luo joking?"
"Haha."
His voice also brought the people around him back to reality.
Compared with Sima Huai's distrust, Lu Yan and others were left with only shock.
After all, in their opinion, there was no reason or need for Russell to lie about such things. Who would do something that had no benefit at all?
Although they believed that the Emerald Level Demon was dead, several people still did not think that Russell had done it.
Therefore, Lu Yan asked hesitantly, "Did Lord Hu take action?"
He thought about it and concluded that Russell had already sent a message to his senior sister, the diamond-level card maker Walnut, before the war started.
Later, they happened to meet the monster and easily dealt with it.
Although Russell did call for someone and waited for the person to arrive, he could not say that the person who came was from the Begging Spirit Society.
Therefore, he could only deny that he had called the player and put the blame on whether his cards had any killer moves that were exposed.
After all, no one can verify such things, and Spider-Man is indeed his card.
"No, I killed him."
Looking at the calm young man in front of them, the rest of the people were stunned.
