Chapter 17: Hostages
"Thank you, Udis, but do you have any other clothes for Ibby, this one Ibby doesn't really like. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Reed walked out of the exit of the Gate of Trials, and found that Udis, Sagar and Ibi had all completed the trial before him and gathered in the open space at the door, at this time, Ibi was changing some of the clothes that Udis took out of the spatial ring, but Udis himself was naked, Reed saw Udis's exposed muscles at a glance, and the other half of the delicate and hard crystal structure organization, Reed frowned, and quickly figured out the key: those crystal structures are better than the Blue Moon Rebels' biological and chemical weapons to transform peopleThe matter on 'Kiad''s left arm is more advanced and detailed, so these crystal amplifiers must have a deep connection with some of the demon's technical research.
"Emma's bastard!" Reed couldn't help but curse in a hateful whisper, but at this time, Emma's voice happened to come from behind Reed, "Lord Demon General, are you coming out too?" Emma, dressed in a black tight-fitting suit, turned out of the exit and greeted Reed with a smile, and everyone saw that Emma had also completed the trial task, and all the personnel had gathered, so they all came together and prepared to walk forward through the main passage of the trial gate.
"Lord Demon General, the little reptiles of the Zerg didn't hurt you, did they?" Emma approached Reed as she walked, and asked Reed about Reed's battle with concern, Reed heard Emma's words, paused, and then replied without looking back, "It's no big deal, I can still handle the past, what about the situation on your side?" ā
"I'm okay, my opponent is relatively weak, Lord Demon General, it's good that you are not injured, because it may be ...... later" Before Emma finished speaking, she suddenly attacked Emma with a heavy punch, and Emma was accurately hit in the face without preparation, and flew out with a shout, and fell heavily to the ground. What, what the hell is going on? Everyone didn't react for a while, but just looked at the attacker who attacked Emma, Reed, who was stunned, but Reed stared coldly at Emma lying on the ground, and asked with a serious expression, "Who are you?" Why impersonate Emma? ā
What the! Is Emma now impersonated by someone else? I saw that half of Emma's face was shattered on the ground, and the viscous green liquid was constantly falling, but groups of small black bugs could be clearly seen crawling around, which was really disgusting and terrifying. 'Emma' fiercely tore off the skin and camouflage, and the whole person seemed to take off a humanoid coat, revealing his true face, a dwarf humanoid creature of the Zerg, and the dwarf Zerg said to Reed unwillingly, "How did you find out about my flaws, you are so sure of your own judgment?" ā
"You have to pretend, at least pretend to be professional, investigate the character's personality hobbies, identity background or something, otherwise it's better to keep your mouth shut, Emma never called me Lord Demon, but you said it three times in a row, such an obvious mistake of course makes me very sure that you are an impostor."
"Fuck you! I, Lord Leo, don't need you little demon bastards to teach you a lesson! ā
When Leo heard Leo speak so rudely, they all moved forward, and the battle was about to break out, Leo saw the actions of Reed and the others, hurriedly retreated to a corner, slapped against the wall, and then said with an extremely arrogant attitude, "Don't come over, your Emma is in my hands, if you take a step forward, I will kill her!" The wall finally flipped over, revealing a huge spider web, and in the center of the web was Emma, whose eyes were closed as if in a deep sleep, and Emma's body was covered with all kinds of colorful spider creatures, crawling and wriggling. What the! Emma actually fell into the hands of the enemy? Everyone immediately stopped, Leo saw the scruples of Reed and the others, and said with a wicked smile, "Hmph, she fell into my dream net, completely intoxicated by the dream I set, and the little ones on her body, as you have seen, contain deadly poison, as long as you have abnormal behavior, I will immediately order her to be poisoned, humhaha, if you understand the current situation, give up resistance immediately and surrender obediently, otherwise, humhahaha~~"
Saga lifted his glasses, Udis was silent, and Ibi let out a vicious whisper, and then everyone turned their eyes to Reed, waiting for the Demon General's final decision. Reed looked at the other party's arrogant and annoying expression seriously and calmly, and pondered for a moment, and then Reed turned his heart sideways, as if he had made a certain decision, took a deep breath, and moved forward without hesitation. It's a rebellion! Reed resolutely resisted regardless of Emma's life! Seeing Reed so ruthless, Ibi gritted her teeth and couldn't help but jump out to block Reed's path, and said to Reed seriously, "Do you really know what you're doing, it's Sister Emma who is holding the other party hostage, do you really plan to sacrifice Sister Emma's life in exchange for a ridiculous victory?" ā
Reed still just looked at Leo fixedly, paying attention not to miss every change in the other party's expression, without looking at Ebi, reaching out to push away Ibi who was blocking the way, and moving on. Ebi was treated directly and ignored by Reed, and was furious, and rushed in front of Reed again, angrily saying, "Ebi likes Sister Emma, Ebi refuses such a decision, if you are determined to do this, then pass Ebi first!" After Ibi finished speaking, he even accumulated energy and began to prepare to transform, just as he was changing, suddenly a black serpentine body demonic beast was firmly entangled around Ibi, restricting Ibi's movements, but Reed in front of him disappeared, and instantly appeared on the side of the wall, fighting with the panicked Leo.
"Damn!" Ibi broke free from the snake's shackles and was about to pursue Reed, but a white and clean hand pressed Ebi's shoulders to stop Ibi's attack, and Ibi looked back and found that it was the doctor Saga who held him down, Saga smiled and said to Ibi, "It seems that Emma is not in the hands of the enemy, and the hostage should be fake." ā
"The hostages are fake?" Ibi looked at Emma in the sleep with a little disbelief, and then looked at the battle between Reed and Leo, just in time to see Reed holding Leo's neck with one hand and lifting it high, Leo kept struggling, breathing quickly and said, "Let go of me!" You bastard, aren't you afraid that I will kill your companions? ā
"Feel free to do it, that's just another trick of yours, a dummy made of a few small bugs wants us to obediently obey, you're really whimsical!" After Reed finished speaking, he threw Leo directly at the spider web where 'Emma' was, Leo hit the wall where the spider web was located, and wanted to struggle, but was shocked to find that there was a huge round bubble attached to his chest, and the next second, a violent explosion spread out of the bubble, shattering everything to pieces, Leo's body was in a different place, all the poisonous spiders died cleanly, and 'Emma' was divided into 2 sections, and the wound continued to emerge with green liquid, and some black bug limbs mixed in it.
"Sure enough, it's fake," everyone gathered when they saw the end of the battle, and Saga pinched his chin and said to Reed, "Lord Demon General, the basis for your judgment is because since that Leo can fake Emma, he can naturally make another fake 'Emma', right?" But how can you be so sure, are there other flaws? ā
"Yes, except for the other party's expression, there is a little bit of weakness hidden in it, and the most important thing is that Emma doesn't look like a person who will easily fall into the trap of the other party, if you insist on saying that the enemy has such strength, then choose the other of us at will, such as me, will be more likely to succeed, and in other words, if the strongest Emma can't resist the trap, then wouldn't it be better to directly use the trap to deal with the rest of us? Why use such a low-level means as hostage threats, so I'm sure the enemy must be just deceiving us. ā
Everyone couldn't help but admire Reed's reasonable analysis, but Reed continued coldly, "I don't want the situation just now to happen in the future, I know that you are only reluctantly obeying my command under the orders of Princess Fia, but from now on, I don't care whether you are really willing to accept my management in your hearts, I have to ask you to have absolute trust in me and unconditional obedience to my orders, of course, in private you can have questions about the instructions I issued, and ask and debate." But when we are in the middle of the battle, we must achieve close cooperation and tacit understanding to defeat a strong opponent, if you can't do it, or even have the behavior that just restricts my actions, then I would rather not have your help, and it is better to face all the challenges myself than to drag you down! Think it through yourselves. ā
Hearing Reed speak like this, recalling the performance just now, everyone bowed their heads and was silent, Reed did not continue to blame everyone, after all, some things need to be experienced and understood before they can be truly digested, so Reed just rested quietly for a while, and then motioned for everyone to continue moving forward and walking towards the main exit of the Gate of Trials passage......
