Verse 207: When I woke up again
Alchemy Factory, Pivot Tower, 3rd Floor.
A group of people cautiously leaned against the vicinity of the mysterious blood-colored demon core suspended in mid-air. It is only because of this place that they can survive.
On top of that, lightning strikes from time to time.
There is no pattern to where lightning appears and where it hits. This is the result of the previous battle between Shas, Purple and Taling for control of the weather, and finally got out of control.
The crowd was uneasy, with some people shouting the names of Zidi or Shasha, but no response was received.
"Damn ......" Mane was in the middle of the crowd, his brow furrowed.
Even if he wasn't good at strategy, he felt very bad at the moment.
"The fight between Scab and Purple seems to have subsided, who has won, and why hasn't there been any movement?"
"Whoever wins, are they really going to come to our rescue?"
Mango was worried, and many people were worried, but they couldn't help it, they were trapped here.
If you rush out, you will most likely be killed by lightning.
And they didn't dare to get too close to the blood core.
When the stand-in was unconscious, someone boldly tried to take the blood core, but when it was closer, it was irradiated by the blood light and turned into a pile of toner.
"What the hell should I do?" said Manego, glancing around.
The big man was unconscious.
The beard bows his head.
Three knives are confused.
Cyanobacteria knelt next to the body of the stand-in, her eyes completely glazed. He once wanted to follow the stand-in, because he wanted to use the brilliance and virtue of the stand-in to redeem himself who killed his own brother.
However, the revelation of the identity of the stand-in made him know that the person he had been following was just an impostor.
This fact hit him deeply, and he became more and more depressed.
The rest remained silent, and their faces were solemn.
Many people sat on the ground in trepidation, holding their heads in their hands, as if they had given up the struggle, waiting for the fourth layer to decide on a result.
At this moment, Mango suddenly heard someone screaming, and his voice was full of horror.
Mane's pupils shrank sharply, almost thinking that he was hallucinating, but he actually saw the stand-in slowly sit up with his upper body.
"Isn't heβhe's dead?"
"He's alive again?!"
"Needle, needle gold, Lord ......" the boss with the mouth of the blue-green algae open, he was closest to the stand-in, and he was completely sluggish.
But soon, someone rejected the term "blue-green algae": "No, he's not a needle! he's just a stand-in." β
"Are youβAre you human, or are you an undead?"
The crowd was terrified, and those who sat on the ground stood up one after another.
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on the boy.
The boy sighed, half-knelt on the ground, his hands on his knees, and slowly stood up.
He looked around to the left and right, his gaze making eye contact with the crowd.
From the eyes of these people, he saw vigilance, panic, doubt, worry, and many complex and indescribable emotions.
The young man sighed again, and sighed in his heart: "This moment has finally come." β
In the past, people worshipped him, respected him, loved him, and were willing to follow him, but now people are more anxious and suspicious of him.
This is completely understandable.
Because he is not a needle gold, he deceives everyone. Even coming back from the dead is a scam that everyone has seen!
Just like Zidi's great regret, when Needle Gold revealed her identity, the invisible loss was very huge.
"He's alive! He had been killed by lightning before. Could it be that he faked his death? Could it be that he is supporting Zidi's hope?"
Of course, the situation on the third layer can't be hidden from him. Wenxin School
With the resurrection of the stand-in, the uneasiness in Shasha's heart quickly expanded, and he hurriedly informed the needle of the matter.
Needle Gold was also shocked: "He can even resist lightning, what if he rushes up?"
"Hold him steady! I'm almost done, as soon as the portal is formed, we'll leave here with the fairy tale of the artifact mermaid. After we're gone, there won't be any mana left to support the new portal, and these people are dead!"
"Isn't there a mysterious crystal nucleus on the third level?" asked an aphar knight.
Scab shook his head: "It's a pity, but there is no way but to give up." The lightning has been slashing chaotically, and the mana consumption is too great, and we can't take that mysterious magic crystal with us. β
So, under the manipulation of the scab, the voice of the needle gold was quickly conveyed: "Stand-in! You live better, you are my person." You may not know who you really are, but in fact, I am the needle. As long as you remain loyal to me, I swear by the honor of my nobility that I will forgive you and give you a chance to survive and make a difference. β
The stand-in boy raised his eyes to look at the fourth floor, and his face became slightly solemn: "So, Zidi failed, and you stood on the side of the scab?"
Needle Jin's heart was shocked, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't understand for a while, how could the stand-in find out the situation on the fourth layer in an instant.
He just wanted to deny it, but then the stand-in spoke: "If Zidi has the upper hand, she will speak for herself, and she will not arrange for you to speak." β
After a deep groan, the stand-in continued: "She can't even speak now, I'm afraid she's dead." β
Needle Gold glanced at the girl in the pool of blood at her feet, and was about to reject the stand-in's speculation, but then Scab interjected: "She's not far from death." However, she still has a chance to live, as long as you cooperate. β
"Cooperation?" the stand-in boy smiled and raised his eyebrows, "How can you let me cooperate with you? Let me kill these people so that all the credit goes to you?"
Everyone was startled and slightly commotioned, and many people took a step back, with more fear and vigilance in their eyes.
Of course, Scab Sha was not fooled, and he laughed: "You don't have to provoke, I am a priest, and I will do my best to get them all out of here." I need your cooperation, just to calm you down and see the situation clearly. β
"Zidi has passed out, and I am the only one left here who can control the authority and form the portal. β
"You've been defeated, you don't have to think about it anymore. β
"You are indeed guilty, but you are not guilty unto death, and more sin is not in you, but in Zidi. Essentially, you are just a blinded pawn. β
"You don't believe you don't have a grudge against Zidi. β
"She deceived you and made you die for her, and willingly. Although this woman is not very old, she is well versed in people's hearts, cunning and vicious, and extremely dangerous. β
"She is the president of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce was swallowed up by many nobles of the empire, she is dissatisfied with the empire in her heart, and the anger of revenge makes her lose her mind, and playing with fire will inevitably burn herself. β
"It would be very unwise for you to be on her side, and to be against us is to be against the Knights Templar and the Emperor. β
"You have just guessed the situation on the fourth layer based on just one sentence of needle gold, which is enough to prove that you are a smart young man. β
"Do you remember when you confessed to me?"
"Young man, I know that you have a heart for goodness, and deep down you yearn for light. β
"There is no denying that you are guilty. β
"But the road of salvation is at your feet, as long as you are willing to go, choose to go. β
"In the name of the priest, I promise to redeem you. But true salvation lies in you. You should be very clear about this. β
The young man smiled: "So...... Are you scared?"
"I came back from the dead, so you can't find out my reality, so you want to stabilize me?"
"You seem to have lost control of the weather, and if you can slash the lightning, you won't hesitate for a moment, just like you did with me. β
Scab Sha said sharply: "Young man, you overestimate yourself too much, don't be smart but be mistaken by cleverness! I split you before because you want to rush to the fourth layer, obviously you have a bad intention, and you want to be unfavorable to us......"
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the young man: "So, you found that you couldn't kill me, so you want to stabilize me temporarily?"
"Isn't it enough divine power?
"Now that the demonic beast is no longer a threat, you have not used magic to deal with me, but you have to stabilize me. Are you trying to stall for time, secretly open the portal, and escape with the artifact?"
"You don't seem to be worried about me coming after you...... Could it be that the mana in the mana pool is no longer enough to open the second portal? Also, after all, the lightning has been splitting for so long, and the already small amount of mana must have consumed a lot. β
Hearing the boy's speculation, the people around him were in a commotion again.
Shasha's face turned pale: "Young man, I'm thinking about you." Rush up if you want, and the lightning along the way may make you taste death again. Even if you don't, when you come to the fourth floor, you're just throwing yourself into the net and getting a 'warm welcome' from us. But if you choose to believe in me and choose the path of salvation, you will most likely have a longer life and a brighter future. β
"Huh. The boy sneered, "You made me believe you? How can you believe it? Just before that, you hacked me to death." And until much longer, you'd rather send the artifact first than our companions along the way. β
"I'll kill it, but I'm not alone. β
After speaking, the boy looked at the crowd around him.
Everyone looked at him warily, without the slightest reaction.
