Chapter 275 Jedi's Trick

Raise your left hand in despair, and after a few minutes - nothing happens.

The scene looked clownish, but the newly born snake in the shadows had no time to care.

"Woo woo." Zheng Lu let out a low roar, her forehead shining, and her body leaned forward abnormally, as if something heavy was pressing on her shoulders, collapsing her back.

If a bishop of the Devouring Serpent Cult were here, he would surely laugh at this unprofessional divine descent.

The god's projection did not completely occupy her body. As long as a special observation method was used, it could be seen that at least half of the snake's shadow was exposed.

Chen Xiaotong did this on purpose. Zheng Lu's body hadn't undergone any alienation treatment, so unless she was using it as a one-time prop, it would be best not to completely merge with her.

She thought so, but when the time came, she realized that she was too naive.

Although Guiling and her powers are united to some extent, she and Chen Xiao'er are still two different individuals.

Zheng Lu dedicated her body to her, but her heart and soul were not pious.

The body of the newborn snake is falling into the abyss. When it completely falls to the bottom, the chain of this advent will be completely broken.

Time was of the essence, and Chen Xiaotong locked her gaze directly on the despair in the other dimension. The gray snake took a deep breath, drawing the surrounding energy into its body, gradually transforming from virtual to real.

There is only one chance to attack. I must pounce on it and bite the body of Despair to pieces the moment my body is completely solid, so that my sister's crisis can be resolved.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Zheng Lu's will was highly synchronized with that of the Newborn Serpent. Though her movements were a bit unsteady, her practiced dancing body still managed to move towards despair with relative coordination.

Very good, just move into my attack range...

"God, I feel uneasy." Zheng Lu's voice suddenly exploded in her consciousness, startling Chen Xiaotong.

The Newborn Snake twitched its tail impatiently. "Uneasy? Of course you are. After all, you're using a human body to attack a god. This is your instinctive warning."

"Is that so? Then..." Zheng Luwen's gentle voice rose again: "Do you feel uneasy, or even extremely dangerous?"

【disturbed】

Zheng Lu's suggestion was like pouring a bucket of cold water on hot oil, and Chen Xiaotong's emotions began to bubble up.

Uneasy? Of course. She had thought it was just human instinct brought on by Zheng Lu's fragile body.

But when she felt it carefully, she immediately noticed something was wrong. This unease intensified deep within her. This was the abyssal creature's instinct for danger!

Is the despair really too strong, and is my intuition warning me that my current sneak attack is very dangerous?

Zheng Lu was almost fully materialized. Just a few more steps and she'd be on top of Despair. The uneasy premonition in her heart grew stronger, like a surging wave crashing against her heart.

No, I must have missed some important clue, what is it?

"A long time ago, there was a scholar who believed that leaves could make praying mantises invisible."

Chen Xiaotong closed her eyes, and her sister's voice came to her mind in her memory.

He gathered many leaves and brought them home. He held each leaf in his hand and asked his wife if she had seen him. His wife, tired of being asked, said she had not seen him. The scholar, delighted, took the leaf and ran off to steal.

At this point in the story, Chen Xiaotong clearly remembered saying to her sister, "I thought the story of a blinding leaf was about someone covering their eyes with a leaf and then thinking the world disappeared."

The sister in my memory smiled and said, "Yes. Your explanation is very similar to the idiom, which means that a leaf blocks your view of the whole or the truth of a fact. If you just listen to the fable, it's easy to understand that the leaf can cover the praying mantis, but it can't cover the person because he is too big."

Human instinct is to bounce the overly large consciousness in the body back into the abyss.

Even though her whole body was stinging, Chen Xiaotong still gritted her teeth and manipulated Zheng Lu to twist her neck, using her dual vision to look for clues that she had not noticed before.

The Desperate Man next to my sister retracted the tentacles that were releasing the waves. He must have discovered that some of the arrangements had failed.

The aura of "Despair" was not strong, so the sense of danger did not emanate from it, but rather that my action of wanting to pounce on it just now was "wrong".

Chen Xiaotong widened her eyes, as if she saw a leaf slowly moving away in front of her.

Isn't this guy the real one?

Such speculation is groundless. After all, if Despair wants to devour Chen Xiao'er in the power ceremony, he must use his real body to descend.

If its true form is not here, where is it?

The leaves in front of Chen Xiaotong's eyes completely cleared away. She glanced briefly at the rooftop, where many puppets stood. These puppets creaked under the influence of the zero reset, and only the side facing her sister retained a false skin.

Despair shouldn't be hidden in a doll.

He probably won't be able to manipulate the mirror images of her classmates in front of her sister. The difference in status is too big, and it will be easy for her sister to overthrow him if she plays like this.

Are those boxes scattered all over the floor? Could he be hiding in there and attacking my sister?

It's a nice idea, but unlikely.

The box could contain anything before it was opened, and the "despair" outside was misleading the sister, trying to make her think that there was explosives inside.

What if the real body of Despair is hiding in the box? Wouldn't that be shooting oneself in the foot?

If He didn't resist, would His sister really be able to transform Him into pure explosives, and then blow Him up into the sky along with His original body? That would be too funny.

There isn't much room left on the rooftop to hide people.

Chen Xiaotong could see the back of the cement, and the back half was empty. She was desperate to add people but had to arouse her sister's misunderstanding first.

So what am I missing?

Chen Xiaotong's gaze returned to her sister, and she suddenly noticed a hot air balloon being tossed up and down by a hurricane. The church's Apostle Zero was clinging to the edge of the basket, swinging back and forth with the balloon.

Hot air balloon...Oh, there's a hot air balloon on the other side too!

Her eyes suddenly became sharp: these two hot air balloons were not her sister's "imagination", but props that were materialized in advance by desperation and consuming a lot of energy.

Hiss, your plan—I see through it!

The gray snake's scales lit up in excitement, and Zheng Lu's legs ran quickly.

She stepped across the golden lines in the void. The scattered lines did not stop her steps. They even appeared like waves behind her, pushing Zheng Lu's body forward.

Click.

“Meow—”

Solid footsteps and roars sounded at the same time. Zheng Lu grabbed the basketball hoop on the edge of the rooftop and dived in.

She raised her fist high, intertwined with the gray snake shadow, and swung it down suddenly!

......

Chen Xiao'er sat upright in a chair and watched the suspicious person go crazy online.

She was secretly thinking about what to say next so as to trick this person into coming over and stabbing him.

What the Chen family cared about most was definitely treasure, but firstly, she didn't know what treasure they were looking for, and secondly, this person's style was a little different from that of the Chen family.

According to her previous speculation, the Chen family should not dare to directly break up with the school, but this person declared an all-out war without any concern.

If this guy is not from the Chen family or someone hired by the Chen family, then who could he be?

Chen Xiao'er thought about the harassing text messages she had received and had some ideas.

It mentioned twice that it wanted me to commit suicide, so there must be a reason behind it.

Now it's making me sit in a chair and surrounding me with explosives... Is it trying to make it look like an accident? What kind of accident is this?

Maybe it wanted to buy time to exonerate itself and create an alibi?

Chen Xiao'er grasped some doubts in her divergent thoughts.

If it was really a killer hired by the Chen family, there would be no need to go to such lengths. It could have just picked up the stick and hit her on the back of the head.

She wanted to continue thinking, but the person next to her had already lowered his arms, and judging by the direction of his legs, he seemed to want to retreat further away.

I can't let you get away!

Chen Xiao'er quickly leaned forward, using the angle to conceal the action of her pulling at the hem of her skirt.

She squinted her eyes and said, "Well, you also know how powerful it is."

Hearing her unclear words, Despair indeed paused for a moment.

It slowly leaned against the handrail, holding the explosives. The voice behind the mask hummed, "Oh? This is also part of your plan."

"Meow, meow, meow—" A strange, distorted cry followed by a puff, and then a series of bangs and bangs. It was as if a heavy, fat cat had pounced on the cement bag and was frantically scratching at the cement powder with its claws.

Chen Xiao'er turned her head subconsciously in despair, and all her energy was focused on its face. She suddenly felt happy in her heart: Good opportunity!

Swish - she pulled hard at the edge of her skirt, and the long skirt stretched in the wind and lifted up high like a blanket.

This guy was already wearing a suspicious full-face mask, who knows what high-tech stuff he had added to it. Chen Xiao'e didn't expect her long skirt to completely obscure her vision. She simply lowered her center of gravity and gripped the hilt of the knife.

Click.

The hot blood and the blade were pulled out together, and she slid it quickly along the snow-white cloth.

Phew.

With one blow, he stabbed it hard into its side!

Chen Xiao'er's eyes flickered. Her hand didn't feel like it was piercing flesh, and the guy wasn't bleeding. Without even glancing at the chaos behind her, she pulled back her dagger and slashed the enemy's belt.

Click, ding-dong.

A dozen hard small fragments fell out from inside. Chen Xiao'er didn't have time to figure out whether there was a communicator inside. She kicked forward and tried to snatch the explosive pack from the enemy's hand.

Boom!

She was hit hard in the process of flying, and she felt a sharp pain.

However, Chen Xiao'er acted without hesitation: If my ribs are broken, at most I will die alone. If the explosive package explodes here, everyone in the entire building will be blown to the sky!

"Xiao Ai—get out of the way!!"

Lin Lang's voice sounded from behind, and Chen Xiao'er let go of her hand and rushed to the side without hesitation.

Puff!

Two dull knocking sounds were heard in succession, one like a bullet hitting a cement bag, and the other was crisper.

Did you hit it?

She quickly turned around and saw Lin Lang rushing out from behind the iron gate, but unfortunately he was tripped by something before he could take two steps.

Snap!

Lin Lang fell heavily to the ground, his nose hitting the ground.

The students who had been standing motionless behind the enemy finally started to move. They drew their weapons and rushed towards Lin Lang.

Fortunately, a pair of strong arms stretched out from behind the door.

Uncle Wolf grabbed Lin Lang's calf and pulled him back, followed by the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. Almost all the students were led into the corridor by them.

Huh~ Chen Xiao'er gritted her teeth. Although she didn't understand the situation, at least she wouldn't hurt her classmates by mistake.

She rushed forward again with the dagger in hand, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

Sand.

Chen Xiao'er pushed off the ground and prepared to jump, when she suddenly saw the other party do a very unnecessary action: it put its hands on its face and forcefully lifted the mask - revealing an ordinary face.

The face has no features and no indication of gender.

Why did it take off its mask at this time? I don't recognize this face... Chen Xiao'er was full of doubts, but her pace did not slow down at all.

She used the momentum to push the dagger diagonally upwards, aiming at the enemy's neck and throat.

"Chen Xiao'er, you've fallen into the trap."

Despair did not dodge or evade, but simply raised a lighter and lit it with a click, letting the flames lick the fuse on the explosive pack.

"I'm not afraid of death at all, because..."

A dramatic grin spread across its face as a hot air balloon rose slowly behind it. In the hot air balloon's basket, a small girl could be vaguely seen struggling desperately, seemingly biting a human figure.

"The me in front of you is not myself at all. I just need you to die."

[“What you see before you is not my true self at all. I just want you to—die.”]
