210: Chapter 191: Win Over 210: Chapter 191: Win Over “Dead?
Or not dead?”
These few names were written on the notebook that Lu Ping’an had spread open.
Long Yuhe, Wei Wu, Long Qianlan, Jia Yi, Wei Xianshi, Fang Wen, Yuan Dunxing (Sophist).
If there were no accidents, these seven people were probably all the infiltrators of the Mother Goddess cult in this area.
Among them, Wei Wu and Wei Xianshi, both fourth-tier, already had a horizontal line drawn under their names, confirming their complete death…
Although it was cruel, those with insufficient strength who chose to come out would naturally be the weakest and die first.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the fourth-tier among the Mother Goddess believers in this incident could not even be considered a threat.
Among the remaining people, aside from the mysterious disappearance of the suspected fourth-tier Sophist, the weakest should be the fifth-tier Jia Yi, who naturally messed up the disaster under the influence of various aspects.
Everyone on this list is someone that Lu Ping’an must try to kill in order to protect his peaceful life.
The most dangerous on paper were always the Dragon Family siblings (a combination of sixth-tier and fifth-tier) and Fang Wen (who had already been crippled), but Lu Ping’an still didn’t dare to underestimate the suddenly missing Sophist.
“It’s obvious that it was the Sophist who sold out Fang Wen, and it’s likely that Jia Yi’s accident also involved him.
The fact that he’s been stirring up trouble but hasn’t died like the other fourth-tiers is enough to prove his ability.
Danger level doesn’t equal tier and strength.”
Just because of the Sophist’s familiarity with the region and his understanding of the Special Service Team, Lu Ping’an dare not relax his vigilance against him…
In fact, the top priority of the Special Service Team Three has always been to deal with this disgrace to Team 3, this traitor.
However, it was strange that since the television tower incident, the Sophist had disappeared without a trace no matter how people searched for him.
Lu Ping’an had previously applied to review the Sophist’s file but felt even more that this person was difficult to grasp.
“Big Cat, he’s with the Mother Goddess cult, right?
You don’t know anything about his specific situation, do you?
Does he have any special abilities?”
“I’ve said it many times, I’m a big boss who occupies several cities.
Would I care about the family situation of a new rotten kid in the neighborhood?
These days, Big Cat has been watching gangster movies, and her speech is filled with a sense of dirt.”
Lu Ping’an shook his head; this cat was probably beyond saving.
Even if you don’t know about a fourth-tier subordinate, you haven’t seen the abilities of a sixth-tier subordinate either.
Isn’t this entirely free-range?
“Free-range, letting life graze, is the pure love of the Mother Goddess…
Alright, I’ll be straightforward—he must have acknowledged my ‘Mother Goddess’ since he joined my church.
At least, he has a part-time job in the Life system, and his tier must not be low.”
“Even you saying that, who doesn’t know…
It seems that no one really knows how he’s been able to hide his Life system part-time job until now.”
Lu Ping’an was a little surprised.
A part-time job required training and resources to improve.
A purely logistics-based profession in the Life system required a lot of resources and employment time, so it was very outrageous to be able to hide completely.
But more importantly, why did he hide…
Why bother training if you don’t use your part-time skills?
“It might be a relatively taboo branch…” Big Cat was also unsure.
She didn’t have a comprehensive range of access at the time, mainly due to the rare resources and special abilities that were highly attractive and the various taboo knowledge.
There were too many Evil Gods and taboo approaches in the Life system, so it was hard for people to figure out what was going on.
However, these taboo approaches were essentially based on some main approaches (branches like Gourmet, Healer, Gardener, etc.), so in a sense, they never deviated from their roots.
It’s worth mentioning that, in terms of accurate classification, the chef is actually a higher branch of the scholar, while the Gourmet is the professional path of the Life system.
However, like the relationship between the Gardener and the Magic Alchemist, the chef and the Gourmet are also basically inseparable, and their integration is often even tighter.
After evaluating the Sophist before, Lu Ping’an could only helplessly give up on pursuing him…
In fact, considering his low strength, familiarity with the area, and that “one-time acquaintance”, he posed a significant threat to Lu Ping’an in various ways, and Lu Ping’an wanted to kill him as soon as possible.
“He might have run away.
You saw how the other two fourth-tiers died without doing anything, he might have been scared.” Big Cat wasn’t even confident in what she was saying, knowing very well what kind of scoundrels her subordinates were.
You can only win if you love taking risks.
Why be involved in the Mother Goddess cult if you’re afraid of death?
Regardless, looking at the massive pile of corpses at the moment, Lu Ping’an was still quite satisfied.
Although there were still people on the list, in general, the good news greatly outweighed the bad.
At this moment, he hesitated a bit when it came to crossing out “Jia Yi’s” name.
“…It’s like this anyway, he should be dead.”
At the moment, the setting was the vast Dragon Bone area, a battlefield ruin left behind after the war.
The two big shots had already left with their spoils of war, leaving behind only some dull bones and scattered bits of flesh on the ground.
Among the bloody wreckage, Guan Xinxian came over with a grim face.
He had gone around several times but still hadn’t found that fish head.
At this moment, it had been several hours after the battle.
If the fish head hadn’t been driven to come here by its curse, it was most likely already dead…but without seeing the body, Guan Xinxian always felt like something was missing.
Is it over just like that?
The eternal nightmare is over?
The goal I’ve been striving for my whole life has been reached just like this?
It doesn’t seem right to Guan Xinxian.
Lu Ping’an didn’t have such complex emotions, but he also felt like there was a problem.
He hesitated for a moment, and in the end, he put a question mark after Jia Yi’s name instead of crossing it out directly.
At this time, Lu Ping’an still comforted his friend with a smile.
“Don’t make a sour face, he’s most likely dead, you should be smiling.”
Hearing this, Guan Xinxian squeezed out a smile, but it was too forced, too ugly, as if he were crying.
Lu Ping’an didn’t try to persuade him further, knowing the saying “do not advise others to be kind before suffering their pain,” and he would certainly not say anything stupid like telling Guan Xinxian to let go of his hatred.
As for revenge, it’s best when executed by one’s own hands, or at least witnessing the end with their own eyes.
Guan Xinxian’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Had his revenge really been achieved?
Had that evil doer who brought endless nightmares really died like this?
“If he’s not dead, there’s actually a way to find out.
No, to be precise, if he’s not dead, we’ll definitely meet again somewhere.” Lu Ping’an pondered for a moment and then made up his mind to say it.
These words immediately attracted Guan Xinxian’s attention, causing the listless and dispirited Guan Xinxian to perk up suddenly.
“This matter, starts from over a month ago, and was actually a top-secret event, it was a Life system god Ascension Ceremony, our city almost perished overnight…” Now that he had valued the other party’s abilities and character, Lu Ping’an naturally showed sincerity in wanting to involve him.
Removing those absolute unspeakables (related to himself), he recounted the root of all the current difficulties: that failed Ascension Ceremony, and the vultures attracted by the divine decaying flesh.
“…Now, everyone is waiting for them to ‘re-enact’ the ritual of Ascension and the current troubles can be said to be a means of interfering with us.
But when that moment comes, everyone will be there.
As long as Jia Yi is still alive, he won’t miss this opportunity.
If he still has his wits, he must take it a step further to counter the curse; if he has lost his mind, his innate greed won’t let him miss the chance.”
The Life system is full of greedy people, insatiable evil doers.
As Lu Ping’an was thinking about it, this wasn’t just a means to recruit Guan Xinxian, but also his own thoughts.
Currently, the opposing side has already displayed enough chips to have reached the limit in terms of hindrance; they could activate their trump card at any time.
When that moment comes, all “scavengers” will naturally gather for a fight.
Taking general strength into account, it seems that on their side (against the Mother Goddess cult), there are three sixth-tier individuals, and the Mother Goddess cult has only two sixth-tier and one fifth-tier, one of whom was also injured earlier.
It seems that they have an overall advantage…but in reality, none of these high-level personnel can be trusted; they are all greedy people pursuing the fruit, and at that time, any sudden changes would make anything possible.
Lu Ping’an didn’t have a preference for Order, but now, in this situation, it was actually the local “Guardians of Order” who had some concerns, who were the only reliable allies.
They, whether they were the Special Service Team or Guan Xinxian in front of the Rescue Team, had fundamental conflicts of interest that couldn’t be compromised with the bastards who were trying to “re-enact” and sacrifice the city.
“Brother Guan, I’ll be straightforward.
Besides wanting your guidance on the ‘scene’s’ creation, I need your strength even more.
The upcoming turmoil will be dangerous, perhaps we can sign a long-term cooperation contract…”
