Chapter 144: Seeking the Skin of a Ghost
Swish—a large pool of blood splashed on Lin Lang's face. She took it without blinking, her pupils fixed as she stared at the devil.
Sinaya stepped on the sunken worm and smiled arrogantly. "Human, say that again."
Being looked down upon by Chen Xiao'er was fine; that guy was truly special. Now even these scumbags dare to look down on my strength?
Haha, "a lot of consumption", hehe.
“…”
Lin Lang took a deep breath and said calmly, "Of course it's easy for you to deal with this little monster. We want to help you in attacking the Abnormal Overlord."
"Help me?"
Xinnaya smiled brightly, her teeth gleaming like sharp blades. She smiled and turned her head, looking away. "So you're helping me?"
At the same moment the giant worm collapsed, the students had already dispersed, forming a loose network around the demon. Each of them had triggered at least one of the artifacts, either on the demon itself or along its path.
Lin Lang nodded sincerely, his face calm and his breathless. "Yes, we're afraid it might get up and dirty your feet."
laugh.
The devil sneered. She could tell this scum was not speaking the same words as he meant what he said. Not to mention the information leaked by his heartbeat and vibrations, the fact that the mutant refused to release his altered form alone was highly suspicious.
But it doesn’t matter. I have the final say on whether to kill or cut you.
Sinaya crushed the writhing insect beneath her feet with her high-heeled boots, opening her Devouring Domain to wantonly draw the abyssal power from the worm. Energy poured into her body continuously, and the extremely comfortable pleasure of eating diluted the disgust of being offended.
Chen Xiao'er's face flashed through the devil's mind, and his arrogant instinct instantly cooled.
Oh, Chen Xiao'er and the apostle aren't here. She must have more pressing plans. Perhaps while I'm stumbling here, thinking I have the upper hand, that cunning human has already run up to the Overmind and started a fight!
Xinnaya's teeth were chattering: Whenever I think of Chen Xiao'er gaining power and looking so smug in front of me, my core is boiling!
At this moment, a scale appeared in her mind. On the left side of the scale was [defeated by the master and reduced to a servant], and on the right side of the scale was [defeated by Chen Xiao'er and reduced to a servant].
The moment the scales appeared, the phantom of Chen Xiao'er giggling grimly appeared at the same time.
She wore the Crown of Power and stepped on the devil's cracked head, as if to say, "Naive creature of the abyss, you have failed again! It's a waste of resources for a weak, pathetic creature to live~ Oh ho ho ho."
The tray on the right hit the ground with a clang, causing great damage to the mind.
No, no, no, if I become Chen Xiao'er's servant, it would be a thousand times worse than death!
The illusion frightened Xinnaya for a few seconds. By the time she came to her senses, the surrounding scum had already adopted a more respectful posture. Compared to Chen Xiao'er, if you ignored the weapons and clubs behind them, they were truly a group of delightful food.
Huh~ The raging energy in her body gradually calmed down.
My fellow tribesmen are right. We must understand humans. I must know more about Chen Xiao'er.
For a moment, the devil wanted to kill the human in front of him like he had done before, extracting the memories from her brain and soul.
But the past failures have become a thorn in my heart: humans are very cunning, even if we have 100% true memories, we will still be selectively deceived by them.
These people are not ordinary people. They are Chen Xiao'er's companions and are only more cunning than the humans she had met before.
I...should have chosen a safer approach.
The illusory balance dissipated, and a real balance was generated around the core.
[Usurpation] is the innate talent of the Devil Hunter, but Sinaya has hardly ever used this ability.
Before meeting Chen Xiao'er, she was too lazy to communicate with any human.
After meeting Chen Xiao'e, the contract would be misinterpreted by Chen Xiao'e, and she was too lazy to use it against other people - wouldn't it be better to just kill or devour them?
Now the situation has changed. I have promised to do my utmost to deal with Chen Xiao'er and I will not hold back.
Xinnaya put on a hypocritical smile, a smile she learned from Chen Xiao'er and her fellow tribesmen.
The devil's hideous "smile" shocked the students, and everyone immediately took a defensive stance.
"Let's make a deal." Xinnaya tried her best to maintain a fake smile and extended her right hand to Lin Lang: "I can let you go, and even help you. I just need you to [give me a hand] at the critical moment."
The devil thought that humble humans would not refuse, or were not worthy of refusing, but he saw Lin Lang take a step back with an indifferent expression.
"I'm sorry." Her claws tightened at her sides. "I won't help you deal with Xiao'er."
Xiao'er? Chen Xiao'er.
Xinnaya felt she should be angry. Being rejected by a human should have made her furious. But when she heard Chen Xiao'er's name, it seemed reasonable.
After all, it was Chen Xiao'er, so it was understandable that her subordinates were unwilling to betray her. If I were a lowly and weak human being, I wouldn't dare to betray such a ruthless character so easily.
Under the psychological effect that Milo didn't even notice, Xinaya actually learned to think from other people's perspectives.
She smiled softly and moved to the human's side in a flash.
"!" Lin Lang waved his claws hurriedly, but Xinnaya easily grasped them in her hand.
The devil grasped the human's wrist and gently scratched her skin, leaving only five bloody marks of several centimeters.
Blood flowed out from between her fingers. Xinaya's hand slid to the fingertips and tightened her palm.
Crash—the devil bent down, his emerald eyes so close that they almost pierced through the iris and into the brain.
Her voice penetrated into Lin Lang's ear canal, causing his spirit body to surge with boiling waves: "This is the second time I have saved your life, you must pay the [price]."
A bright purple dot of light buried itself into the soul, resonating with the devil's core.
This is not a contract agreed upon by both parties, but a unilateral mark.
The chip on the left side of the scale pressed down heavily. It was the "charity" once given by the devil. The light spot on the right had an unclear meaning. It was the "small price" that Lin Lang had to pay in the future.
Because it was a forced contract, the price paid was inevitably far less than the help they had received. But before paying the price, no one knew what the outcome would be.
At this point, Lin Lang said with a serious face, "Thank you for your generosity. Then, shall we go somewhere else first so as not to disturb your hunt?"
Xinnaya folded her arms and laughed: "Are you in a hurry to leave? Didn't you say you would help me deal with the Overlord? If you don't want to die, then follow me obediently, otherwise you will be eaten."
The students' expressions were not much better. They all understood how ruthless and cunning the devil was. Putting aside the contract between Lin Lang and her, everyone was obliged to accept her kindness and be forced to owe her a debt.
If I refuse, I will have no choice but to fight her here.
The Devil Hunter is different from other anomalies. It has the ability to usurp and can completely swallow the core of humans before they turn into golden light.
By then, even if Chen defeats the Overlord, those who have been eaten by the devil will never come back.
Seeing the human's gloomy expression, Xinnaya felt a good sense of comfort.
As expected, only Chen Xiao'er is special. She can make me feel frustrated. The cunningness of other humans is nothing compared to her.
As long as I can implement this steady course of action and continue to use this group of mentally retarded humans, I will be able to drag Chen Xiao'er into the water sooner or later.
The devil jumped off the worm's cold corpse with a grin and walked out stepping on the insect skin that had been sucked dry.
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, a human voice shouted behind him.
Sinaya had just won a victory and was in a very good mood. She stopped and said compassionately, "I knew you were slow. Well, I'll just take a walk with you."
Hehehe, humans all love to hear nice things. If I show my kindness like this, they'll surely be filled with gratitude, right?
"Well... actually, it's like this. I'm sure you know that to break through the Overlord's barrier, you must collect four seals."
"certainly."
Xinnaya answered nonchalantly that of course she knew there were four marks and Chen Xiao'er should be collecting them.
As long as I can control this group of people, I will be able to gain a certain advantage in the battle with Chen Xiao'er.
The devil was still imagining Chen Xiao'er's desperate expression when she saw her companion being taken away by him, when the human behind her had already overtaken her and walked up to her.
Haha, you are so brave, dare to be so arrogant.
The devil had no scruples about etiquette; he was simply angered by his instinctive sense of hierarchy.
She was about to punish this presumptuous human when she saw Lin Lang spread his hands and said helplessly, "The monster you just killed has half of the remaining mark in its body. It must have been temporarily infused by the Overlord after it was taken out of the seal."
Uh. Xinnaya was stunned for a moment, then remembered that the so-called head of the security department was the original holder of the mark.
Compared to my power, the current holder is too weak!
Thinking that the new holder of the mark was killed instantly by her, she felt a sense of pleasure of "so it works~".
Seeing the delighted smile on the devil's face, Lin Lang quickly struck while the iron was hot: "You see, only a creature as powerful as you can accept the mark. The other marks should be with Xiao'er. Why don't you take this half first?"
Lin Lang didn't say what he was going to do with it, but anyone who knew a little about Chen Xiao'er and Xinnaya knew that Xinnaya would definitely not be able to resist such an idea.
Things turned out just as she expected. After Xinnaya finished laughing, her eyes could even be described as gentle, as if she was thinking of something happy.
The devil took a few steps, and his footprints drifted again and again, flashing back to the insect corpse.
Xinnaya raised her hand and pressed it on the insect skin, slowly driving the core.
Ding ding.
A white light lit up from under her palm, reminding her of someone annoying.
Could it be that Lan was here too? Or perhaps the power had already shifted to Chen Xiao'er's side.
Xinnaya's expression became serious. She growled "Heah" and star-like marks gradually emerged and rose upwards.
Shiny——
At the moment before the white star flew out of his hand and was reabsorbed by the Overlord, the devil activated his usurpation ability and held it tightly in his palm.
Sinaya used the extension of her body to wrap the stars tightly with pure energy!
There were two forces resisting her devouring, one was obviously the dominant one, and the other carried the special aura of Chen Xiao'er.
This is the resistance of power itself, as if saying "Let go, you don't deserve it."
This is a game that belongs to God.
Oh, stupid! Am I inferior to Chen Xiao'er?
How is that possible!
【I deny your denial!!!】
Xinnaya clenched her fists, and the energy around her suddenly compressed.
Sizzle, sizzle, la la la.
The white star was deeply imprinted into Xinaya's palm, and finally slowly settled in her flesh and blood, releasing vigorous energy.
The devil clenched his steam-filled right fist, an arrogant and ferocious smile on his face.
"Come with me, human."
