Chapter 102 Bai Ye: I will never let anyone that You Yu cares about die in front of him again.
No matter what conflicts they had with Faust before, at least Faust had to be here because of the law enforcers who were now holding crystal skulls made of their own heads.
They are all enforcers of the Wings of the Goddess of Victory.
"I think... you guys deserve to die."
Jade looked at the people around who were chanting hymns, took a deep breath, and pointed the key at the demon apostle opposite.
But unlike the sudden appearance of Jadeite and Faust, when Qianmian saw the two law enforcers appear, his first reaction was abnormally negative emotions such as sadness and regret.
"Oh my, this is such a pity. Even though I've gotten into this state, you still don't come to see me with your real body. You're so annoying."
Qianmian spread his hands. Perhaps because of his acting talent, he really looked like a young child abandoned by his elders and felt that he was not valued at all.
"That's his habit. He's overly vigilant. He became even more vigilant after knowing that there might be traitors among us. As a demon apostle he brought up, you should understand him."
Facing Feicui's accusation, Fanlan did not respond, but answered Heitao's regret with a frivolous and leisurely tone.
Huo Gu and the law enforcers asked in confusion: "What?"
Fanlan glanced at Huo Gu and said nothing. She just picked up the brush, which spun in her hand. Countless colors were attracted by the brush and gathered bit by bit on the block that had been silent for a long time. Then... the demon apostle in a black robe collapsed in front of everyone and turned into a pool of colorful paint.
Those paints obviously knew where they should go, and under the guidance of the soul particles, they rushed towards Fanlan's multi-colored brush.
Finally, the cube disappeared in front of them, and the only thing left was the extra paint on the tip of Fanlan's brush.
You Yu's nerves, which had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up.
There is also a demon apostle wandering outside, and no one knows what conspiracy he is carrying out.
"Besides, you are not such a ignorant person. As long as you are not a traitor, even if he just said a few words to the characters drawn by my brush, you will definitely obey, right?"
Fanlan tilted her head slightly, and her eyes, like the hem of her skirt, reflected the luster and color of the starry night.
"...Okay, okay, I'll speed up the process. It's so annoying!"
Qianmian shook his head. Youyu and Feicui looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Why is the Demon Apostle's deputy Qianmian actually a child who is dependent on the senior who leads him on the mission? Moreover, the Leatherta Archives has never had any intelligence indicating that Qianmian actually has such a caring predecessor.
A senior who can seriously influence the choice of the second-in-command of the Demon Apostle.
No one noticed that Faust took a long breath, as if he had seen something terrible.
Except for the poor Phantom Thief who was stopped at the back by the Squid Detective Agency.
"I'm just very happy because I finally returned to my hometown. Please don't look at me like that."
Qianmian curled his lips in dissatisfaction. Fanlan and Huogu seemed to know something and looked at him as a madman, although few of the demon apostles were not madmen.
The demon apostles began to talk to each other, seemingly forgetting the law enforcers standing opposite them.
"Uh... should we leave or rush over to take back the Ten Rings token from them?"
Shuise's voice sounded a little hesitant, but those were indeed the only two options they could take now.
"I always feel that it's not good if I rush over now, but I can't really let those guys take the Ten Rings Token."
You Yu was in deep thought, but he soon came out of his thoughts and responded to Shuise's question.
The meteorite is in Fanlan's hands, and the driver of the crystal skull seems to be Thousand Faces.
There was no reason for them to just leave.
"We don't have time to wait any longer, we have to try no matter what!"
Emerald gritted her teeth and said, "There are only three demon apostles in front of me. If I don't give it a try, I won't be able to explain myself."
Her voice was heavy, but Faust, who always spoke gently to comfort her, said nothing this time. Instead, he looked seriously at the demon apostles not far away, as if they were more terrifying monsters than they looked.
"No, calm down, Hisui, there's definitely something wrong... I should know, should realize it, but where...?"
You Yu was about to collapse. An unprecedented sense of crisis spread in his heart. He didn't know what terrible thing was happening or about to happen, but the soul tag of [Good Luck] kept telling him that such a thing always existed.
"Who cares! No matter what, I can't let these bastards succeed!"
Lily of the Valley's condition was also not right. She was more impulsive than usual when she encountered a demon apostle and needed to fight. The fact that Qianmian called her "life" seemed to remind her of something bad.
Jadeite and Lily of the Valley rushed to the battlefield, followed closely by Youyu and Shuise, and even Faust froze the surrounding vines with a sigh of strong disdain.
Huo Gu and Fan Lan had no choice but to stand in front of Qian Mian, but they had no desire to fight. They simply dodged the attacks of the law enforcers and high school students, especially Fan Lan. She even chose a perfect angle, allowing herself to fall lightly to a position far away from the center of the battlefield with the attack of Ling Lan.
The pitch of the hymns around them grew higher and higher, and the ancient ballads became more and more passionate, as if the gods they praised and believed in would soon reappear in the world.
In a sense, this is not wrong. Like Youyu, Wonder, who is also wary, probably figures out the attitude of the demon apostles. They want to use the human soul power condensed by the two tokens of the Ten Commandments and the sacrificial formation information voluntarily or involuntarily provided by the descendants of local priests to achieve a goal that no one has ever achieved: to awaken the Demon King of Meteorite who has been sleeping for a thousand years, and to use the power of the Ten Commandments and the revised Gate to the Underworld to turn the Demon King into the source of power for the Gate to the Underworld that communicates the inner and outer worlds.
As long as the Demon King of the Underworld provides endless energy to the Gate of the Underworld - the space gate that can open the passage between the inner and outer worlds, then that huge door can be opened continuously and even expanded.
Until enough demons pour out of the gate, enough to completely connect the two worlds, turning the barrier between the two worlds into non-existent waste.
[What a crazy plan! Actually, I admire these crazy people. They are working hard for the ultimate destruction, even though they may not be able to survive in the environment where the inner and outer worlds merge. 】
The laughter of player t173 sounded in Bai Ye's mind, very harsh, but Bai Ye didn't want to argue with him now, because he had something else that needed his attention and thinking.
One is as terrifying as Youyu’s, with an obvious sense of fear and crisis, as if something is about to happen in front of him.
Second...Fanlan, who had escaped from the battle, landed right beside him.
The painter was floating in the air like a disembodied ghost, moving towards him.
Bai Ye looked down at his wrist. The gold thread on it had completely disappeared. You Yu was just that kind of person. Even when facing enemies or the Phantom Thief Wonder, he would not let anyone fall into a desperate situation.
A rare smile of emotion appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Unfortunately, his weakness was not caused by You Yu's golden thread, but by the [Miracle Magician] who would always charge a price whenever he used his soul tag ability.
"I feel very fond of you--I really like you, my dear life."
Qianmian smiled and replaced his opponent with Lily of the Valley in the melee. At that moment, Youyu and Baiye both felt a chill as if ice was embedded in their hearts.
"I'm very interested in you, Phantom Thief. Can you show me your abilities again?"
Fanlan's voice and Qianmian's voice almost overlapped, and the woman's paintbrush became a large enough weapon, using colors as chains to attack Bai Ye.
Under the background of the two voices, another hidden voice gradually became distinct.
In a moment, a moment when many things can happen, Bai Ye knew what it was.
Countless black and white tangled vines grew out of Qianmian's hands. Those vines were exactly the same as the vines of lily of the valley, and they continued to grow in the air of the underworld.
Lily of the valley was stunned for a moment, but in just a moment, the winding vines had already rushed behind her, aimed at her back, and rose high.
[The plot anchor point has been detected. Next, please make a choice, dear host:]
The voice of the t173 player was completely different from the previous mechanical sound. It carried a smile that was hard to tell whether it was gloating or madness, and it was even a little sad.
[1. Help Qianmian kill Lily of the Valley and become the power of life in the ritual to awaken the Demon King. 】【2. Help Qianmian kill Lily of the Valley and become the power of "life" in the ritual to awaken the Demon King. 】【3. Help Qianmian kill Lily of the Valley and become the power of "life" in the ritual to awaken the Demon King. 】
[The options have been laid out, dear host. 】
The player sighed in Bai Ye's brain.
[Even if I give you a chance, nothing can be changed, because the set destiny will not allow any mistakes to happen. 】
[You can't save Lily of the Valley anymore, host. I'm doing this for your own good. 】
"No."
Bai Ye shook his head, and player t173 noticed that the corner of his mouth was curled up into a smile that was even crazier than his.
"I can."
He just sighed and gave up resisting the colorful chains that were rushing towards him with terrible power.
But those two words were extremely decisive, as if they were narrating a fact that had already happened.
【What? ! Are you crazy? ! There is no DM system to save you this time! What are you going to do? ! 】
The t173 player almost started screaming.
"Miracle……"
Bai Ye stretched out his hand and threw the playing cards in his hand casually to the ground.
His figure suddenly disappeared in front of Fanlan, leaving only a playing card torn into pieces by colorful chains, falling like rain.
The next second, the thief appeared behind Linglan and pushed her away steadily towards Youyu who also noticed something strange and ran over.
[I said, t173, I will not let anyone follow the plot line you mentioned again. I do what I say. 】
Bai Ye didn't say anything, but t173 heard it clearly.
[I will never let anyone that Youyu cares about die in front of him again. 】
