Chapter 154: Upper Hand

Twenty minutes later. The door of the tomb was opened.

"Uh...... What happened? Sadako Yamamura was somewhat pleased to see two people coming out of the tomb one after the other, and neither of them died because of it, which made her very happy.

But none of them look very good. Su Jing's whole person became ...... It was tattered, with several wounds on his face that looked like those of big cats, and his right eye had been gouged out by something. The left hand was completely gone—as if it had been hit by some kind of heavy blow, not only the left hand, but also the left arm, the whole piece was gone, and the fracture surface was rough and uneven, as if it had been cut off by a heavy object...... There are traces of fire burning on him,

And Lu Mengyao's eyes and nose were bleeding a lot of blood, and the blood stains had dried up, but she herself didn't seem to realize this, and her round eyes were full of bloodshots. She pulled out a bottle of potion and poured it down, then hiccuped. Sadako Yamamura noticed a burnt black ring on both wrists where she had taken the potion, her fingers seemed to be peeling off from rubbing, and the gems on the tips of the two short staff on her belt were completely shattered.

"Briefly, we have a cooperation agreement." Su Jing tore off the left sleeve with his remaining right hand, took out a bottle of water from Sadako Yamamura's backpack and cleaned the wound, "Then...... It just so happened that we used to know each other. When I was in college, the relationship was not bad. Let's take a good look at the past. ”

"yes...... Let's talk about the old days. Lu Mengyao shook an old crown in her hand. The crown looked like it was made of a dozen fangs, and it looked extremely hideous and terrifying. Lu Mengyao put the crown on his head and asked Su Jing. "How?"

"Worthy of you." Su Jing glanced at it, "The hideous appearance of this crown matches your face very well." ”

"What are you talking about......" Lu Mengyao took out a small round mirror from her cloak. I took a picture of my face, and then found blood marks on my face. "Damn, do you have any napkins? Forget it, I'll do it myself. ”

Lu Mengyao twisted a black ring on the ring finger of her left hand, and then a cotton handkerchief appeared in her palm, she dipped the handkerchief in some water, and began to carefully clean up her appearance. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Jing pulled Sadako Yamamura aside and said to her very seriously:

"Next, whatever the woman says. Don't believe it easily. Do you understand? She's one of the most cunning women I've ever met, in short, don't be fooled. She's likely to say something to sow discord or tarnish my reputation......"

"I'm standing four meters away from you." Lu Mengyao shouted loudly, "And the effect of the Owl's Insight hasn't passed yet!" ”

"Don't worry about such trivial things." Su Jing waved his hand, "We're going to camp here tonight, do you have a portable futon?" ”

“………… For what you will think I will have. Lu Mengyao glared at him, and then reluctantly twisted the ring on his hand. After that, a few simple processed fur mattresses appeared in Lu Mengyao's arms, and the three of them found a flat place to spread them. Then a campfire was lit.

"This ring ......," Su Jing pointed to the ring in Mengyao's hand. The latter took the ring off and rubbed it between his fingers.

"Space storage rings, 3 star props. Very convenient thing that can carry about twenty cubic meters of non-living objects. ”

"But you can't bring it out of the world, right?" Su Jing glanced at the fur mattress under him.

“…… Right. Want it? Lu Mengyao's face flickered in the firelight. Let's play a game. ”

"What bet am I making?"

"Get out of this competition and give up on Ufrik. Storm Cloak. ”

Lu Mengyao threw the ring, and then caught it.

"Bet." Su Jing laughed happily.

Sadako Yamamura sat between the two with her knees crossed. Looking at the interaction between the two with interest, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lu." How did you and Jing meet? ”

A smile rose at the corner of Lu Mengyao's lips, and she said teasingly, "Is it all to the extent that you are called Ah Jing?" ”

She pulled a deck of playing cards out of her pocket. Begin to skillfully shuffle the cards.

"We also met because of a game of cards." Su Jing added for her, "A very interesting game. Everyone had a great time. ”

Lu Mengyao handed over the playing cards and asked Su Jing to check them. The latter touched the edge of the card, then flipped a few of the cards over and touched it again, smiled and said:

"Good, not the magic poker deck back then."

Lu Mengyao chuckled softly, and said to Sadako Yamamura: "I used a deck of magic poker to cheat him, a total of twenty-one games to compare the size, and he lost until the seventh game in one breath to find out what the problem with this deck of cards is." ”

"Each of the Magic Pokers was tilted a little to one side at a slight angle, and when they all stayed in one direction, there was nothing wrong with the touch. But when the magician flips a card over, it looks fine on the surface, but you can touch which card you can draw...... A very simple little trick. Su Jing placed a stack of cards in the center of the field.

"Cheating is part of the game, don't play if you're not happy." Lu Mengyao glanced at Sadako Yamamura next to her. The simple girl watched the two play cards for a while, and after a few sips of water, she felt very tired and fell asleep groggily.

"Drugged in the water?" Lu Mengyao draws cards.

"That's right." Su Jing draws cards.

“…… In fact, one thing I have always wanted to ask you is, how did you do it when you were on the top of the roof? Lu Mengyao turned the cards over.

"Winning?" Su Jing glanced at the points of the cards in his hand.

"I mean...... Before. How did you manage to break my mental defenses with a single blow...... Later, every time I thought about that scene, I felt confused, and somehow it gave you the upper hand. It wasn't until I entered this world that I saw a lot of interesting abilities. I want to ask you, do you have some kind of ...... in the real world Abilities? ”

".................." Su Jing's smile was unpredictable in the firelight, "a little." It can affect the psychology of others a little bit. But it's really only a little bit, and many times it has to be paired with some necessary techniques. ”

“…… No wonder...... No wonder I lost so fast......" Lu Mengyao took a long breath. "I now fully understand what your personality is so weird about. It has been said that the evaluation of others is a reflection of the reviewer's own heart. You can see my anomaly. It's because you're so much more anomalous than I am......"

"And I said that you are more controlling, this is also because I have a stronger desire to control than ordinary people. Before you try to control others. I started trying to influence other people's ideas when I was in elementary school. Su Jing smiled slightly, "At that time, your little tricks were actually quite cute in my eyes." Of course, you're getting better and better. After all, there is a training target. ”

The two stared at each other in the firelight, silent for a long time.

Crackling firewood exploded.

"Have you ever wondered why we're going to break up for what?" Lu Mengyao put down the playing cards in her hand and stirred the fire with a branch.

“…… Because we never wanted to accommodate each other. All try to keep each other in their own hands. We love each other, but we don't want to change ourselves for each other's sake. Su Jing sighed silently.

"That's what you've always taught me." Lu Mengyao said with some sneer, "You say." If you can't become the perfect personality you dream of, then you just need to keep working in that direction. One day, you can no longer be an ordinary Lu Mengyao, but a unique Lu Mengyao in history, radiant and peerless......"

"But there is a price to be paid to being extraordinary. They are often too sharp and persistent to contain others. Su Jing added.

"Yes. And our love is constantly trying to overpower each other. Keep improving yourself and find ways to take the other person into your hands thoroughly. Do you know the truth? Your biggest personality flaw is that you love to have fun too much. You didn't push me down on that rooftop, then...... I swear. I will never give in to you after that. Lu Mengyao stretched out his hand to caress the newly grown skin on Su Jing's face, his broken arm was healing at a slow speed visible to the naked eye, "It's really tiring to live like this...... After hearing of your death. I was actually relieved that there was no more target for me to chase......"

“…… To live in search of fun, you always need to put in a little more energy than ordinary people. Su Jing nodded in agreement. Then he thought of a question, "That's right. How did you die? ”

Lu Mengyao chuckled and asked, "Do you remember how you died?" ”

"Hit and killed by a passing truck. What's wrong? ”

"The truck was hired. You provoked so many people before you left school. Some of them hold a grudge against you. And then - bang! Lu Mengyao gestured lightly, "I told them that I was your girlfriend, and after learning about the case, I felt that there were a lot of suspicions." The driver was sentenced to seven years in prison for drunk driving. I spent a few days investigating the matter and ......"

Su Jing raised her eyebrows.

Lu Mengyao leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice:

“…… I started killing people with my intelligence...... One after the other. There were six people involved, and I found that with the same skills we had trained each other in the past, the investigative methods and anonymous phone calls, and the pranks you do best...... It's not too difficult to take them out without suspicion. ”

Su Jing leaned over and kissed her on the face, and the other party also kissed her back gently.

"Then, this series of actions took me about two weeks in total. I didn't get much sleep during those two weeks, and I wasn't in good spirits after that. Finally, one morning while jogging, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. He died on the spot. ”

"I was really moved." Su Jing gently stroked her hair, and the beautiful long black hair that originally hung straight down to her waist was now cut in half for ease of movement, making her look much more energetic.

"Then ......" Lu Mengyao picked up the serrated crown with her fingers, "For the sake of me paying so much for you, this crown will be mine." ”

"I think this question is still more debatable." Su Jing gently broke her fingers one by one, and then took the crown lightly, "Look, this crown is so ugly, it's almost the same for an old man like Ufrik, if you want, I can use gold to make you a new crown." It is guaranteed to be more than one hundred and fifty times stronger than this thing with serious aesthetic flaws. ”

"What does it matter? Anyway, you won't be able to complete this main quest. It's better to give me an extra reward. Lu Mengyao put her slender hand wearing several rings into Su Jing's neckline, rubbing his skin with the sharp ring surface.

"Who says I can't do it?" Su Jing questioned, "We are all here, and without the support of the adventurers, then the Storm Cloak and the Imperial Legion should still remain evenly matched." ”

“…… Who said that adventurers must go to the battlefield to attack cities and plunder? Lu Mengyao smiled slightly, "At the beginning of the game, I gave almost half of the magic scrolls on my body to General Tullius, a total of more than three hundred. That's enough for them to take half of the East. In the past two days, you have been busy talking to my new lover, so I'm afraid you haven't paid much attention to the war situation. According to my calculations, the Stormcloak's Castle fortress has been captured by the Imperial Army's surprise attack, and the Stormcloak barracks in the field have been pulled out by more than three ......"

The smile on Su Jing's face disappeared, and he pressed Lu Mengyao down on the bearskin blanket.

"One to zero!" The female mage below him laughed wildly regardless of her manners, "I've got the upper hand!" (To be continued......)
