Chapter 190 Mr. Loren's Serial Misfortunes
In the freezing cold prison, in two separate cells, there was a brief silence between Lanqi and Adams.
In the darkness, the only sounds that could be heard were the occasional sound of water drops freezing and the distant hum of wind blowing through the narrow corridors.
"What can I lie to you about?"
Lanci's voice sounded disappointed.
He was just frozen so hard that even his wrists were stiff, and his movements to exit the shadow world were quite slow.
“…”
Although Adams knew that Lanci was lying, for a moment he wondered if he had misunderstood Lanci.
His acting was so genuine that he sounded like he was disappointed at not being trusted.
But maybe it was because his plan did not succeed that he was expressing his feelings, and used this emotion to catalyze his already strong dialogue skills.
"Lanqi, I know that you are best at using strategies and psychological warfare, so there is no such thing as being mean or not. Today I will only discuss victory and defeat with you. If you continue to deceive me with the trick of surrendering, it will only make you look stupid and ridiculous."
After thinking for a while, Adams said coldly with complete certainty.
He would not blame Lanqi for anything anymore. After all, both parties had already agreed on the rules and regulations of this gambling fight. All is fair in war, and victory is the truth.
Just don't follow Lanqi's logic no matter what he says next.
This is also Lanqi's biggest weakness.
If his opponent doesn't communicate effectively with him, none of his tricks will work.
As long as he carries this principle through to the end, he will win this bet and Lanqi will lose! Lanqi in the next cell did not respond when he heard this.
He simply walked slowly back into the depths of the cell and threw all the stockpiled supplies out from between the bars.
Hearing the crisp collision sound, Adams looked out in confusion.
He could see the supplies on the diagonal corridor through the iron bars. It seemed like Lanqi really didn't want to play anymore and had abandoned all the resources!
"What are you doing?"
Adams asked in surprise.
"Don't accuse me of deceiving you. If I really leave, people should have more trust in each other."
After saying this, any sound in Lanqi Prison suddenly disappeared.
“…”
Adams stared at the supplies on the ground through the iron bars and fell into deep thought.
Could it be that I really misunderstood Lanqi?
If Lanqi really meant well.
But I judged him by my own standards and would never trust him.
Wouldn't that make me look very petty? ...
At this time at the Jera Memorial Square.
The stone pavement rippled in the rain, but this did not affect people's enthusiasm. The giant open-air screen in the square even attracted many passing students to stop and watch.
People held colorful umbrellas in their hands, forming small flower clusters. Raindrops slid down from the tips of the umbrellas and hit the ground, making a crisp "tick-tick" sound.
The voice was almost drowned out by the noisy discussion in the square.
"This Biyang guy is trying to fool Adams again!"
"Don't believe it, Adams!"
For some reason, it was the students of Ikerit College who started cheering Adams on.
Lanci was clearly playing psychology again.
The abandonment of supplies this time is undoubtedly a gamble, intended to speed up the progress of the game and achieve the ultimate confusion.
First, it is possible to deceive the opponent into feeling guilty and directly withdraw from the shadow world.
Secondly, it can also cause opponents to misjudge the abundance of their own resources.
Because many people who are familiar with Lanqi have already guessed it -
Lanqi will definitely find a way to take the supplies back to the corridor later!
The scene of the Ikerite students cheering for Adams made the several Alolan students who were watching in the square a little confused.
Isn't this the home ground of Ikerita Academy?
On the open-air giant screen.
Adams in prison became more and more confused the more he thought about it.
His conscience was indeed aching, and he was worried that he had misunderstood Lanqi.
Not long after, Adams' brows relaxed again, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Lanqi, stop pretending. No matter how you shake my mind or what you plan, I will never believe a word you say until this shadow world ends!"
Adams once again carried out his will and shouted to Lanqi next door with an extremely firm voice!
The more Lanqi communicated with him, the more it seemed like something fishy was going on.
As long as you eliminate emotional factors and think rationally, you can avoid Lanqi's trap.
Ranchi will always play mind games with you!
…
But then.
The Jera Memorial Square, which was just bustling with people arguing in the rain, seemed to have been cut off by some invisible force at some point.
The sound of raindrops hitting umbrellas and the ground, and the laughter of students, all disappeared, leaving only intense silence.
No one was able to make a sound, and they all stared at the giant outdoor screen with disbelief.
Apart from the continuous rain, there seemed to be nothing unusual around.
It’s just that in the audience’s perspective——
Lanqi really disappeared.
This means that Lanqi has withdrawn from the shadow world.
He gave up.
"Is Lanqi crazy?!"
"How should he explain this to Dean Loren?"
The square was instantly thrown into chaos.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the pouring rain hit the ground, forming one splash of water after another. The original silence was broken and replaced by all kinds of noisy sounds.
They never thought that Lanqi would play such a big game and then simply surrender!
Even if some people guessed that Lanqi could not beat Adams, they never thought that Lanqi would lose like this.
“That’s not right…”
After a long period of noise, a student said hesitantly:
"Did you notice that Adams is trying so hard? I'm afraid his heart is as hard as steel. He firmly believes that Lanqi will play psychological warfare with him to the end..."
Many students looked up and saw Adams in the picture still struggling in the dim iron prison.
From time to time, he would taunt the empty cell next door: "Lanqi, don't hold your voice, your acting is too poor!"
"If you continue to act like this, you will look stupid."
"Your psychological warfare can deal with the Saint of Destruction, but it can't deal with me who will carry out my beliefs."
“…”
The students in the square fell silent again.
Ranch lost easily, but Adams won heroically.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He was badly deceived by Lanqi.
I guess he won't come out unless he reaches his limit. Adams doesn't believe in anything anymore.
In this artificial shadow world of [The Cage of Despair], if you want to survive to the point of breaking the record, you will be tortured to the point of being worse than death.
It was a challenge that exceeded the limits of human willpower.
After the challenge, you will have to stay in the hospital for a few days.
It is hard to imagine what kind of mental state Adams would be in when he found out that Ranch had really given up the game early and he had been fighting wits and courage with the air...
"No, it's not that simple..."
Soon another student who knew Lanqi discovered it.
Adams was on the second floor, and they saw the third floor, but Lanci's conspiracy was not that simple.
…
Learning and Education Building, seven-story atrium.
This special space is surrounded by towering glass curtain walls. Although it is raining heavily outside, the whole space remains bright.
The world outside the window became hazy, and the rain kept washing the glass, making it sometimes blurred and sometimes clear.
The senior students of the Sage Academy in the atrium sat quietly, their eyes focused on the huge magic screen on the wall.
When Lanqi on the screen disappeared from the prison, they couldn't believe that Lanqi, who was highly expected by the Sages' Academy, had actually surrendered to Adams! Until Lanqi really walked out of the void gate in front of the artificial shadow world startup terminal, he smiled with a guilty look, as if he had failed everyone's high expectations because of his poor skills.
But this smile made everyone understand.
This guy must have done it on purpose! Teacher Teresa ran to Lanqi's side in great surprise.
"Why did you give up? What should we do next? Dean Loren will be back tomorrow!"
Theresa stopped Lanqi and asked anxiously.
She had never thought that Lanqi would lose so easily! Lanqi stopped walking with a calm expression.
"What do you think? Should Dean Loren apologize to Knight Commander Juliana?"
He smiled and looked back at Adams who was still suffering in prison on the screen, and asked Theresa.
Compared with the seven-story atrium that remained warm and bright even in the heavy rain, the dark and desperate frost cage was like the difference between hell and heaven. Adams was on that side and Lanqi was on this side.
“…”
Theresa looked at the screen and felt something stuck in her throat.
This time it really doesn't matter whether you win or lose.
Even if Lanqi didn't mention the bet.
He tortured Adams into this state.
I'm afraid Dean Loren will have to go to Knight Commander Juliana to apologize in person.
etc.
Theresa lowered her head and counted on her fingers.
First, Adams won against Ranch as he wished.
And if Dean Loren also apologizes for the fact that "Juliana's students were tortured so badly"...
Knight Commander Juliana will receive a sincere apology from Dean Loren.
The bet that Lanci promised to Adams was successfully fulfilled.
Next.
According to the previous agreement between Lanqi and Juliana, the third clause is [If you can forgive him, he hopes to invite you to visit the capital and tell you many important things he wants to say. ]
Once Julianna accidentally forgave the sincere Loren.
Then the condition of "forgiving Loren" is met.
Lanci will then bring up this clause with Julianna, asking her to fulfill her promise to date Loren.
Dean Loren will then be forced to complete a series of chain conditions and then start dating directly! The upright Knight Commander Juliana will never default on her debt.
But what would she think while going on this date which was like a coercion?
That’s hard to say.
Theresa had to admit that Lanci was a genius. He could indeed come up with solutions to satisfy everyone's demands, but every time he could make people feel as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.
The only reason this guy is still alive today is because of his strong abilities.
"Oh no... I have to take a day off today. My cat is sick and I need to take it to the doctor."
Theresa talked to herself, put her hands in her pockets, lowered her head and walked away quickly.
Slipped away. Slipped away.
She got off work early today, it's none of her business.
I hope Dean Loren is okay when he comes back tomorrow.
The cat boss on the ground seemed to be gradually understanding the current situation and fell into the cat thinking universe.
"???"
Its cat brain is a bit overloaded.
