C43 – Deadly Lover
by UntamedSZhuo Ran travelled to Baoshan Temple in the night; he kept on taking bloo-d replenishers and all kinds of medicines on the way, but that feeling of weakness lingered on.
It didn’t affect Zhuo Ran’s skill usage, but this kind of feeling was constantly reminding him, You were injured by a weak woman, and you were tricked round and round; this was simply a shame in life.
As the union president, he had never experienced such a big setback.
He understood that if he couldn’t get rid of the previous shame, he would have a shadow for the rest of his life. Zhuo Ran’s forehead was throbbing with pain.
He wouldn’t just let Knightflame and Zhuo Yu go; this matter must be Zhuo Yu’s handiwork.
“Captain, are you alright? Where did Sir Gang go?” The team member in the backseat didn’t notice the oppressive air, instantly erupting Zhuo Ran’s anger.
“Fuc-k, don’t talk to me about Mo Gang. He told Knightflame all about our skills and weaknesses, and now I don’t know if he’s being impersonated, so be careful when you see him.”
When Zhuo Ran said this, he obviously sentenced Mo Gang to death.
In such a dangerous film, without the support of his companions, Mo Gang wouldn’t survive for long.
The other teammates were silent; they didn’t dare to ask about Zhong Xiaoxiao and Mo Gang, and they didn’t dare to poke the sore spot; they could only go to Baoshan Temple in silence.
Zhuo Ran also knew that he had lost his temper; he took a few deep breaths and told his teammates about what happened at the Red Flower Club, carefully picking and choosing what to say.
Tianxiang union’s anger wasn’t light.
“We can’t just let them go. Since he set up a scheme to cheat you, you can also deal with him!” One of the members with a better brain said angrily, “Zhuo Yu is the core of the team; he should be ki-lled first.”
“What do you have in mind?”
“Since we can borrow the Baoshan Temple’s power, we can also use the police …” The man thought for a moment, “Although we have some doubts, regardless of whether Zhuo Yu ki-lled or not, we will report him first and let him leave the protection in the villa. We will deal with him alone.”
Zhuo Ran’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Transfer Zhuo Yu away, and then let the shaman go to the villa to harvest the evil spirits. That’s a good idea.”
He felt the suffocation in his chest dissipate quite a bit.
“Zhuo Yu, I’d like to see what else you’re capable of; this time I’m going to meet you in person.”
The night had passed, and the oil lamps in Baoshan Temple had never gone out, the candles burning until dawn.
When the first light of the morning shone on the river in the city center, the calm river view villa was suddenly intruded upon by uninvited guests. A dozen white-robed people trampled on the flat lawn in the garden and knocked on the door of Zhuo Yu’s room menacingly. Among them there was no lack of civilian police officers who had received reports of the case, and they discreetly put their hands on the holsters.
Seeing that no one came to open, one of them even directly smashed the combination lock, forcibly prying open the villa door.
Zhuo Yu was woken up by the loud noise at the door; he weakly looked towards the window, but those people quickly came to the door of his bedroom and unceremoniously entered Zhuo Yu’s private space.
The villa was cold and gloomy; those white-clothed men in protective suits didn’t see that there was a fierce ghost frowning right above their heads.
“With such a big commotion, I thought it was someone robbing me.”
Zhuo Yu slowly put on his clothes and looked at the leader and smiled, “It’s you. Why, didn’t you want me to go home for a blind date two days ago? What kind of drama is this now?”
The person who came was none other than Zhuo Ran.
Zhuo Ran had lost face at the Red Flower Clubhouse, and he had no desire to have any more head-on confrontations with Knightflame, but his teammates came up with a very good plan to use the local forces in the film against Zhuo Yu.
Zhuo Ran had investigated after his defeat; the ghosts and monsters that possessed Lin Anqi and Zhong Xiaoxiao were members of the Knightflame union, and when he proceeded to investigate, he made an even more shocking discovery: these two people died a few days ago, and the only person they had touched before they died was Zhuo Yu.
So, he decides to listen to his teammates and make a move to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf.
He called the police in the film.
Zhuo Ran not only contacted the police but also called the biggest local private psychiatric hospital. He stuffed a lot of money, and it was just to get Zhuo Yu in there first; since Zhuo Yu was unkind and wanted to get rid of him, the union president, then he couldn’t blame him for using the same trick.
Zhuo Ran revealed a fake sympathetic smile, “Brother, I came to see you; don’t be afraid.”
Before meeting Zhuo Yu, Zhuo Ran was still wondering what kind of tall and handsome person this disabled man was to make his fans go so crazy, but only after meeting him did he realize that Zhuo Yu looked nothing like what he had imagined.
Zhuo Yu was very young and looked like he had just graduated. His body showed signs of exercise, with a thin layer of well-defined muscle lines that weren’t too noticeable. Coupled with his extremely fair skin, it made people wish they could touch him.
His face, on the other hand, was really exquisite and superior, with a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes hiding a hint of weariness. The slight feeling made him feel fragile, but it also made people unable to resist breaking him even more; his appearance could arouse the sadistic desire in others’ hearts.
Zhuo Ran instantly understood why he had so many female fans, because looking at Zhuo Yu’s face was, in fact, a visual treat.
He subconsciously gulped and shifted his line of sight elsewhere and discovered quite a few red marks from devouring bites on Zhuo Yu’s body; the side of his neck and waist was especially serious; he didn’t know what had happened.
Zhuo Ran surprisingly didn’t dare to look again.
Zhuo Yu gathered his clothes and sighed in his heart; yesterday that crazy dog went crazy again and bit him several times; he had no choice but to let people misunderstand it.
Zhuo Ran repeated in his mind three or four times that he was here to take revenge before his eyes fell on his “brother” again.
He had to deal with the only living person first, then let the master deal with the three ghosts.
Zhuo Ran looked round at his helpers; there were twenty of them. His heart became a little bit more at ease, and the little bit of fear he had for the BOSS was also left behind. He knew that Jiang Xingyu was definitely in the villa, but with so many people or in the daytime, what could he do? Not to mention the fact that he had brought the master’s Imperial Guard with him.
He was sure to win.
Even Zhuo Yu was surprised by Zhuo Ran’s risky move.
This person really had the guts to come.
“Xiao Yu, don’t be obsessive; your lover is already dead. No matter what you do, you can’t get him back.” Zhuo Ran’s acting skills were also good; he looked like a good brother who was about to weep. “Let’s go, accept the police investigation, and then get well in the sanatorium. You’re just sick; you didn’t mean it.”
The police, on the other hand, were not so nice.
The police chief directly took out the photos of the deceased and inquired, “Are these two people related to you?”
Zhuo Yu looked at Luo Musheng and Liu Jingyun’s lifelike appearance and rubbed the corner of his forehead with a slight headache. “Before that, can you show me the search warrant?”
The sheriff was stunned but still took out his documents.
“In that case, when I say I have absolutely no idea what’s going on, I guess you guys don’t believe me either.” Zhuo Yu shrugged and took the initiative to hand over his white wrists. “Let’s go; I’ll accept the investigation. The rest can be talked about in the police station.”
Eh, wait.
Zhuo Ran didn’t know which play this cheap brother of his was playing; why was he so cooperative?
Zhuo Ran suddenly understood: Where else in the world could be safer than the police station? As long as he goes to the police station, it would be hard for him to make a move on Zhuo Yu under the police’s nose; this old, cunning guy.
“No, Mr. Officer, please don’t take my brother away first. I told you that he had some mental problems after the death of his beloved. Before the interrogation, I apply to take him to the psychiatric hospital for an evaluation first.”
His eyes were firm, as if he was terrified that the police were going to convict him now, and the sheriff had seen more than enough of these rich people, who had to go for a medical appraisal when something went wrong and would make up a mental illness to get away with their crimes.
But it made sense, and they couldn’t stop it.
“Take the suspect to the car; we’ll take him there ourselves.” The sheriff looked at the white-clothed men around him; they were all security from the private psychiatric hospital. It looked like they were going to rob someone; sure enough, getting involved in a rich man’s case was always a pain in the arse.
Zhuo Yu stretched his back and fastened the last button. He pointed to the wheelchair not far away, and naturally, there was no objection to this.
The hidden Jiang Xingyu, on the other hand, was about to unleash his hostility; these people were going to take Zhuo Yu away under his nose, intolerable!
The curtains were suddenly windless, the windows creaked and squeaked, and even the overhead spotlights were flickering and sparking like unstable voltages; everyone was startled by the unusual situation in the villa.
Quite a few small ornaments fell off the table, and the thumping sound seemed to hit the hearts of the crowd, and a sense of eeriness was born.
“Alright, just let me go; I haven’t been out for a while.” Zhuo Yu rushed to the edge of the bed, as if talking to himself, “You have to be good and wait for me to come back.”
His words seemed to confirm that he was a schizophrenic.
But the villa’s unusual symptoms didn’t seem to be faked; the policemen were a little spooked.
Fortunately, Zhuo Yu very obediently followed the man in white without resisting law enforcement.
[Union Channel]
[Zhuo Ran: I met the people from Knightflame; the plan is going well, but it’s making me a bit panicked.]
[Li Wenqiang: That means it worked! Let’s see how we teach him a lesson when we get to the mental hospital.]
[Zhuo Ran: Maybe I’m just being paranoid.]
[Zhuo Ran: Don’t touch him; leave him to me. I’m going to torture Zhuo Yu myself and show the audience who deserves to be the winner!]
The indignation of being humiliated once again surged to his heart; looking at Zhuo Yu, who was put into the police car, Zhuo Ran was much more annoyed.
He also didn’t want to stay in this obscure place for a long time, so he drove his car to follow the convoy out of the city center, heading to the C City Private Psychiatric Hospital.
On the other end, Baoshan Temple also followed closely to start the action.
Last night, Zhuo Ran urgently looked for the abbot; this weirdly dressed master made a guarantee that he would definitely send his disciples to go and subdue the ghosts, and it was the right time to start.
Whether it was the social level or the metaphysical level, Zhuo Ran had set up layers of obstacles for the Knightflame union; this was his revenge.
“Fei Niao, Sheng Shu, the task of exterminating the ghosts is left to you two.” The master closed his eyes and silently played with the counting beads. “Master Zhuo Ran has already taken the living away; the three ghosts in the villa are your targets. Don’t bring shame to the Baoshan Temple.”
The two disciples with years of experience nodded and said confidently, “Don’t worry, master, we know what we’re doing.”
Wasn’t it just a ghost? As an evergreen temple standing in C City, they were all capable as great disciples and wouldn’t be easily scared, not to mention that it was something that Master had his eye on; as long as they caught it back to the temple, their status would surely improve, and they might even become candidates for the next abbot position.
The two of them were not only confident but also each had their own agenda, and with their backpacks on, they headed towards the city center.
[Union Channel]
[Liu Jingyun: Captain, why are you going with Zhuo Ran? He’s obviously trying to get you to fall alone to deal with you.
[Zhuo Yu: Don’t panic; it’s just a small scene. I’m not afraid of him coming; what I’m afraid of is him not coming.]
[Lu Musheng: What’s your mischievous idea again?]
[Zhuo Yu: He’s the one who said that it’s not illegal to hurt people with mental illness.]
[Luo Musheng: …… I seem to know what you’re going to do. Can you do it alone?]
[Zhuo Yu: It’s not a big problem.]
Liu Jingyun and the other person who was hiding in the attic listened to the sound of the police downstairs completing their search and pulling up the blockade warning tape and couldn’t help but let out a light sigh.
Wasn’t the Tianxiang Union making a big mistake?
The sound of things blowing up kept coming from the villa.
Liu Jingyun didn’t want to go down there and set something off; the BOSS looked very angry, and even the air pressure in the villa was much lower. As a ghost, she could sense the strength of Jiang Xingyu’s ability; as long as he wanted to, these policemen and the white-robed people would walk into the Lost World, and they would never be able to leave this villa again. He was completely capable of bringing them into the other dimension.
However, Zhuo Yu wanted to leave.
This made Jiang Xingyu grumpy, and at the same time, he had to admit that perhaps leaving him for a while was indeed the right choice, because Zhuo Yu’s body was barely holding up.
Being beside three ghosts day after day meant that Zhuo Yu wouldn’t have long to live.
Jiang Xingyu was looking forward to Zhuo Yu’s death, yet he didn’t want him to die casually; even Liu Jingyun could feel Jiang Xingyu’s internal conflict.
“Someone is coming.” Luo Musheng suddenly said.
“Still the police? Are they coming to take evidence again?”
“No…,” Luo Musheng wrinkled his nose, “There’s a nasty smell, like a Taoist priest mage type; I smell incense ash.”
The two of them, Fei Niao and Sheng Shu, followed their master’s instructions to the river view villa in the city center. As soon as they stepped into the place, the two of them sensed a strong aura of resentment and hostility; this hair-raising sensation proved that something unclean did exist inside.
“This aura is very odd; that ghost is called Jiang Xingyu, right?” Fei Niao was a bit nervous as he took out the talisman with black characters on white paper and waved it in front of himself a few times to dispel the bad luck. “The last time I met one like this was the female ghost that was abused to death, but she didn’t even have such a heavy resentment, ah?”
Sheng Shu quietly replied, “People are different; maybe Jiang Xingyu has a special physique; otherwise, Master wouldn’t have noticed him.”
“Right.”
The two of them drew a pentagram sign in front of their bodies and then put the talisman in a circle along the outer wall. This wasn’t a yellow talisman, as summarized by the Chinese native, but a talisman from the Japanese Shinto religion, which was quite effective in dealing with this kind of resentful ghost that had been created by someone’s grievance.
What they had to do was to first trap the fierce ghost in the space of this world so that he couldn’t escape.
As long as they trapped the ghost, then the next action would be much easier.
The two of them put on talismans and incantations while spreading salt towards the entrances and exits.
However, a bean-sized droplet of water slammed into Sheng Shu’s hand, and as he looked towards the sky, he realized that at some point, the originally clear sky had become cloudy. A rumble of thunder sounded, and the rain quickly intensified, crackling on the earth, and in the distance, the rain mist looked like it was smoking underneath.
This was a sudden rain that was beyond expectation.
The sudden downpour directly washed down the talismans; those firmly affixed also suffered. The ink characters were haloed by the water; it was impossible to see what was written.
“Bad luck!!!” Fei Niao shouted, “Let’s quickly take shelter from the rain; if it pours any longer, the whole backpack will be useless.”
Their weapons were all filled with talismans; if water touched them, they wouldn’t be able to make it.
But the villa area was extremely empty, with only a raging river in the distance. The only place they could take shelter from the rain was the villa itself.
The two of them looked at each other and decided to enter the tiger’s den; it was just a fierce ghost. They wouldn’t let it escape; after all, the master had said that they couldn’t bring shame to the Baoshan Temple.
They pushed the door open, and the half-open windows and flying curtains all made a bleak howl. The door with the lock removed was dark, like a huge mouth, waiting for prey to enter.
On the other hand, in the sunny suburbs of the city mental hospital, Zhuo Yu had been “interrogated” by several psychologists and the director of the psychiatry department. Even if he wasn’t sick, he would be found sick. Zhuo Yu looked at their professional attitude and couldn’t estimate how much money Zhuo Ran had paid them.
Several experts discussed it and said that a detailed conclusion could only be drawn in three days. Before the conclusion came out, the police could temporarily hand over the patient to the hospital.
Although it was clean and tidy, there were restraints on the therapy bed, which was a common method to prevent mental patients from escaping.
Hadn’t he been convicted yet?
“……” Zhuo Yu looked at the restraint straps silently, knowing that there would definitely be danger later. He said to the other captain who had been following him, “You want to play with bondage?”
Zhuo Ran didn’t pick up on this; he was always vaguely uneasy in his heart, looking at Zhuo Yu being obediently tied up; he actually had a dreamy and unrealistic feeling.
This person couldn’t also be someone else pretending to be Zhuo Yu, right? Was he really Zhuo Yu?
The president of Knightflame was so easily captured by him?
“Trouble everyone, I want to have a word with my brother.” As soon as Zhuo Ran said this, the escorts consciously left the room.
“You’re being so cooperative; you’re not thinking that your lover can come and save you, are you?” The worry on Zhuo Ran’s face for his brother had disappeared; he picked up an apple and slowly peeled up the skin. “You made a wrong calculation. There is a talisman given to me by Baoshan Temple in this room. Ghosts can’t get in. I have suffered a loss once, and I won’t suffer the same loss a second time.”
Zhuo Yu was silent; he suddenly changed his expression, as if a person who pretended to be strong had finally come to a safe place, and his whole thoughts loosened up.
“No ……” Zhuo Yu revealed a weak smile. “Actually, I should thank you.”
Zhuo Ran looked at him suspiciously. Thank me?
“Thank you for getting me out.”
Zhuo Yu turned his face sideways, his messy hair covering most of his gaunt cheeks. “Believe it or not, you’ve misunderstood me.”
[Beastheart’s skill, “Take Trust,” has been activated.]
[Actor Zhuo Ran has been hit.]
Zhuo Ran suddenly froze; he looked at Zhuo Yu’s fragile expression and felt that there was indeed a hidden agenda.
“Speak up; I’ll listen.”
“I have no intention of making enemies with the Tianxiang Trade Union. On set, the enemies will always be those monsters; even if the system wants us to engage in confrontation to increase the spectacle, I feel that we should be an existence that helps each other and shouldn’t ki-ll each other.”
“…… So what?” Zhuo Ran frowned, waiting for him to continue.
“My two teammates, they didn’t attack you at my behest; from the moment they entered the film, they were already out of my jurisdiction.” Zhuo Yu let out a long sigh, “They were taken into custody by the BOSS of this film and became devils, helping Jiang Xingyu to trap me in the villa together.”
“What?” Zhuo Ran didn’t expect things to go this way; wait, he couldn’t trust the other party so easily; this was a film set.
Zhuo Ran clenched his fists to keep himself awake; he had heard that Zhuo Yu’s mind was very good; this was most likely the other party’s scam.
Zhuo Yu smiled bitterly: ”I know you won’t believe me, and there’s no point in believing me; I just want to thank you. If you hadn’t called someone to bring me out, I really wouldn’t have been able to get out of it as a person who couldn’t walk on his own. I would have been ki-lled by the BOSS sooner or later.”
Zhuo Ran instantly thought of the red marks on the other person’s body. Right, Zhuo Yu’s identity was BOSS’s boyfriend; could it be …
Zhuo Ran’s expression became complicated; the knife he gripped behind his back also loosened up a lot; if this was the case, then Zhuo Yu had really been in trouble. No normal person would be dealt with by a ghost and want to be in the same group with the ghost, right? What was more, Zhuo Yu was a man, and this was really a great shame for a man.
“Are you trying to make me sympathize with you?” Zhuo Ran narrowed his eyes. “Even so, I won’t be soft.”
This was the audition competition he had to win in order to have more fans, and Zhuo Yu was a stumbling block on his way to success.
Zhuo Ran sat down next to him and pinched Zhuo Yu’s cheek in one go. The two of them, one strong and the other weak, there seemed to be no suspense.
“Zhuo Yu, your great name is just like this. How to say it, I’m a little disappointed.”
“Audience, I know you can see it.” Zhuo Ran snorted coldly and lifted Zhuo Yu’s chin, exposing his vulnerability to the public, “There’s a bounty board in the bar, and now that Zhuo Yu is in my hands, you guys should know how to play it, right?”
The reward board in the bar was created for moments like this.
Soon, the system sent out a continuous prompt.
[Actor Zhuo Ran received the bounty: “Please release Zhuo Yu; this fan is scared!”] The reward was 500 points.
[Actor Zhuo Ran received a reward: “Kill him. I’ve been unhappy with him for a long time; take mine.”] [1,000 bonus points.]
[Actor Zhuo Ran, “I haven’t seen a bloo-dy film in a long time. Can you ki-ll him?] Bonus: 1,500 points.
Zhuo Ran looked at the massive influx of bounties at a glance and knew that this film must be in the top 3 of the hot zone; otherwise, it wouldn’t have such a high level of attention.
Moreover, most of these tasks were extremely cold-bloo-ded. The audience had been imprisoned for too long and had been alienated by this terrible world. Their greatest pleasure was to watch the actors suffer.
Zhuo Ran was picking the mission with the highest bounty; even if it was abusive, he could still ki-ll for the flame points.
However, when he saw one of them, he couldn’t help but freeze.
[Actor Zhuo Ran received the reward: “Get on him; I want to see him cry for mercy.”] Bonus: 5000 points.
Zhuo Ran’s pupils quaked. Could this be broadcast? Surely one couldn’t underestimate the nastiness of the audience.
And 5,000 points? Only clearing the highest difficulty or reaching S rank would have this many flame points, right? This was definitely a huge amount of money for him.
But Zhuo Ran looked at the beautiful but emaciated “brother,” Zhuo Yu seemed to have been tortured by the ghosts for too long, with a rebellious consciousness towards everything.
He looked up and down at this handsome man with his eyes. He even felt that it wasn’t bad. That was 5,000 points. Even if there were no 5,000 points, it would not be a loss.
Zhuo Ran’s gaze took on a hint of change.
He wasn’t so wary of Zhuo Yu now; he believed that what Zhuo Yu said was true, so it seemed that it wasn’t surprising that the online noise was so fierce. Zhuo Yu was a crippled fair boy, relying on his good skin to attract so many viewers and fans; in front of the real strength, beauty was just a resource to be plundered.
This kind of weak but good-looking person could only cling to the strong.
He had long ago ordered the hospital to turn off the surveillance, and no one would find out what he was doing nowadays.
“Anyway, you’re also being looked at by the BOSS, so one more won’t break you down, right?”
Zhuo Ran wasn’t a person with any sense of morality; he strangled the neck of the person underneath him, looking at his eyes that were wet from the lack of oxygen and his cheeks that had already begun to blush, as well as the slightly open, beautifully shaped lips. Zhuo Ran felt that for the first time, he was excited about homose-xuality.
Because the scene in front of him was really a beautiful scene. Jiang Xingyu was really lucky.
“What are you going to do?” Zhuo Yu struggled to speak.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Zhuo Ran patted Zhuo Yu’s cheek. “Don’t blame me. If you want to blame me, blame the viewer who offered the reward.”
Zhuo Yu looked like he was resigned to his fate, “Just as well, consider it your reward for saving me.”
Looking at the acquiescing enemy, Zhuo Ran felt that his last shred of moral bottom line disappeared.
“But,” Zhuo Yu snapped, looking into Zhuo Ran’s eyes that were already tainted with a ruddy color, “I don’t like the human form yet; why don’t you change into a werewolf?”
Zhuo Ran upturned his head; he had already forgotten to think about why Zhuo Yu knew that he possessed werewolf bloo-d. He was glanced at by that dark gaze as if his heart was being looked at, and subconsciously turned on his werewolf humanization.
A huge furry wolf ambled on the physiotherapy bed; its head and pointy ears were twitching from excitement.
The werewolf arched over Zhuo Yu’s neck, and just as he was about to make further moves, he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his chest.
He lowered his head in disbelief; the passion in his head instantly cooled down. Zhuo Ran only saw the dragon claw that pierced through his chest, the bloo-d-stained scales, which were now as evil as Zhuo Yu’s smile.
“Oops, our audience is really wicked.”
Using his other winged claw to casually tear through the restraining straps and free himself from the grip of the physiotherapy bed, Zhuo Yu swooped down and shoved Zhuo Ran against the wall with a single claw, the softness and resignation on his face fading to nothing.
“Stupid thing, I fooled you a few times and actually believed it.” Zhuo Yu looked into the void with a smile. “Dear viewers, actor Zhuo Ran probably won’t be able to provide you with a satisfactory plot, but I still have a slot.”
Soon, a huge amount of bounties also poured into Zhuo Yu’s system.
[Actor Zhuo Yu received the reward “Charge! Ki-ll this disgusting thing!] 1000 points.
[Actor Zhuo Yu received a reward: “Almost shocked me to death; ki-ll him.”] 2000 points.
[Actor Zhuo Yu received the reward: “It’s actually quite exciting; why don’t you guys finish the job? I want to watch.”] 5000 points.]
Zhuo Yu raised his eyebrows; he always felt that some of the viewers’ focus on him was a bit skewed.
Just as he was reading one by one, the even more shocking reward appeared.
[Actor Zhuo Yu received the reward: “…… Take him to the villa.” 10000 points.]
Zhuo Yu froze; he didn’t read it wrong: 10,000 points? Was there really an audience that rich? And a random reward of 10,000?
He was slightly moved.
However, Zhuo Yu had his own plan.
He looked at Zhuo Ran, who had bloo-d spilling out of his mouth, and laughed, ”Honey, I was really lying to you; I really like Jiang Xingyu, so you’re out. However, I was saving your life by letting you turn into a werewolf; you should be grateful to me; otherwise, you would have died on the spot.”
Zhuo Yu, of course, knew that he had no chance of winning a one-on-one fight with Zhuo Ran; his force value was only “Dragon’s Wings,” which was a single skill; he couldn’t beat Zhuo Ran at all.
However, it was still possible to casually chat with him, divert his guard, eliminate his defenses, and then ki-ll him with a single blow.
But Zhuo Yu didn’t want to ki-ll him.
The sharp dragon claw drew back from Zhuo Ran’s chest, and Zhuo Ran instantly vomited out large mouthfuls of bloo-d; his chest cavity was penetrated. With such an injury, even if his self-healing ability was strong, he wouldn’t be able to survive.
His brain woke up, and he was extremely afraid of Zhuo Yu. At the same time, his faint unease was also exposed, and his disappointment with Zhuo Yu suddenly transformed into other emotions.
This was a madman, a liar!
Was this Zhuo Yu? Was this the actor who had caused the Starflame Forum to stir up a bloo-dy storm?
Zhuo Ran’s wolf eyes gazed deeply at his opponent.
Zhuoyu only smiled at him, and then he took out the unused prop, “Staff of Asclepius,” from the grid space.
“I know that you want to live, that you are upset, and that you still have a lot of ambitions that you haven’t had time to fulfill.”
The long, brocade snake wrapped around the scepter hissed, eagerly trying to bite Zhuo Ran; Zhuo Yu flicked the mischievous snake away from the scepter and then cast the most basic healing spell.
There were no flashy effects; the scepter merely swung gently, and the huge ragged hole healed at a rapid pace.
“For your information, the healing power of this scepter is proportional to my mental energy, so I can keep you alive.” Zhuo Yu tapped his temple. “I’m quite proud of my mental energy.”
“Why are you …… saving me?”
Zhuo Ran looked at the enemy whose face was stained with bloo-d; Zhuo Yu’s pale lips were splattered with his wolf bloo-d, like a piece of white paper stained with color, calling for people to look.
“Don’t rush; wait for me to finish.” Zhuo Yu’s tone was light, but it was filled with malice. “The disadvantage of this scepter is that if the user dies, and I mean in the true sense of returning to the Allspark, then your injuries will instantly return to their original state, and you will still die.”
The werewolf’s injuries had already healed, and it was impossible to tell that the party had been pierced through a fatal wound.
“That’s why no one wanted to buy this scepter but me; I think it’s very useful.” Zhuo Yu winked at Zhuo Ran, “If you don’t want to die in this film, you’ll have to obediently be my dog; to protect your master from harm is the mission of a dog, right?”
The werewolf stared blankly at the ceiling.
As the president of a union, he lost completely.
Zhuo Yu didn’t lie to him; he could feel the effect of this scepter. This thing wasn’t used for healing at all; Zhuo Yu used it as a collar around the werewolf’s neck. If he didn’t want to die, then he could only make sure that Zhuo Yu didn’t have any accidents. In case Zhuo Yu died, he would die along with him.
The gap between his and Zhuo Yu’s rank was just too great.
While he was trying to solve Zhuo Yu, Zhuo Yu was already thinking about how to use another president to deceive his people and leave no bones or debris behind.
Now Zhuo Ran’s eyes were full of resignation.
He was convinced.
Zhuo Ran’s lofty spine bent, and he felt like he was now a lost dog.
From this moment, when his life was held in someone’s hands, the Tianxiang Union had completely fallen.
TN:
I love Zhuo Yu 🤭
Happy new year 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉
Thank you for your work. It’s a little sad that I caught up.
Brutal, but he deserves it. Thank you for the chapter!
