Chapter 119 A Brave Cartoonist

Libra didn't know what Li Li was thinking, so he raised his hand and invited Li Li to take a seat.

"You killed Qu Ting in public, which puts me in a difficult position," He said.

His status has remained unchanged for many years and has been suppressed by a higher authority. The SS-ranking officials in the floating city question his dealings and harbor resentment towards him.

"Since the gift has been given, how you open it is my business." But Li Li didn't feel that Libra was really dissatisfied with her actions.

The petals fell from the stone bench, leaving a seat for her. Tianliang lifted the teapot on the stone table and poured a cup of hot milk tea for Li Li.

Li Li took the milk tea handed to her by Tianliang, tapped her fingers on the surface of the cup and turned it.

Libra is quite sympathetic to the situation, and she even feels a sense of inclusion from it that makes her creepy.

He made a deal with the SS class, forbidding them to kill each other, but gave her special privileges over Li Li.

It's like I will obey her wishes, support her decision, and stand firmly on her side.

Li Li did not test Libra's bottom line.

There was a faint scent of flowers in the air. Libra put down the tea set and her long white hair fell from her shoulders. Her pale pink eyes were like the shimmering light of water, without a trace of impurities.

"Are you satisfied with my appearance?" He asked.

From beginning to end, He spoke respectfully to Li Li, even though He was the supreme god in this world.

Such indulgence and flattery can really make a person swell up and feel that he or she can do anything.

Li Li took a sip of the milk tea and said calmly, "It's sweet."

She still thinks that chicken mother tea tastes better.

But He never asked for Li Li's opinion on important matters. This was false respect.

"I'll put less sugar next time." Libra responded calmly.

Since she was here, Li Li took the opportunity to bring up the things that she cared about most.

"What can I do to advance to SSS rank?" Li Li asked.

To some extent, the system knows everything about her, and she is too lazy to beat around the bush.

"The gap between SS and SSS ranks is huge, I believe you have already noticed it. SS ranks only touch the 'rules', while SSS ranks want to control the 'rules'." Tianliang said, using the examples of several SS ranks that Li Li had come into contact with, "As for this kind of 'rules', it's like Lin Ran's 'Everything in Sight', Qu Ting's 'Counter Injury', Jue Huishen's 'Devouring', and Yu Xiao's 'Rules Compliance'."

The examples he cited were all rules that must be followed. For example, in Lin Ran's case, it was inevitable that everything would be in his sight. The same was true for Qu Ting. Once he attacked

He will definitely suffer backlash. Jue Huishen can devour everything, and Yu Xiao's game rules are what he must abide by.

"Yu Xiao's ability is most likely to be promoted to SSS level, because his ability is related to rules. But the person closest to SSS is Lin Ran, because she has her own set of 'rules' in her heart." Libra said this, and then said regretfully, "But unfortunately, her comprehension is not enough, and after being stabbed by Lin Ruye, she has no chance of reaching SSS level."

"Then you came to me because I came from another world and the rules I believe in are different from yours?" Li Li pondered.

After being promoted to SS rank, she did feel that her abilities were different from before.

Her special ability [Illusion and Reality] can interchange illusion and reality, and that was originally all she had.

But after becoming an SS-rank mutant, she felt an intermediate state. The progress bar she saw at the S-rank, the intermediate state between zero and one hundred, a chaotic state.

To the left is false, to the right is true, and in the middle is an uncertain state where both are possible.

But she thought of the example of Lin Ran given by Libra, and wondered if the rule was that she supported socialism while Lin Ran supported imperialism or something.

But Libra said, "That's not the 'rule'."

This made Li Li feel a little confused. It was as if she was facing a formula in which she was familiar with every letter and symbol, but suddenly became unfamiliar when they were put together.

"What are your rules?" Li Li asked with a ready-made answer as she couldn't think of one at the moment.

"Exchange." Libra said.

He did not say anything more, but just looked at Li Li with a trusting look: "Our abilities are different, I cannot be your reference."

Li Li felt like she was taking an advanced math class, or a philosophy class. Or maybe it was a Chinese class, when the teacher turned to the homework and asked: What kind of mood does this sentence express?

Li Li: I don’t know, I just know that this sentence sounds nice.

Libra said, "Don't worry, you have plenty of time to think now."

"I will give you the highest status in the empire, and you will stand at the top of the world and slowly experience this rule." He said in a friendly tone, as if he was thinking about Li Li, "You can also go and compete with the four SS-ranks to find your own 'rules'. This is how you have come to this point, isn't it?"

His meaning was very clear, Li Li's status in the empire was higher than that of the nobles, so whatever Li Li did was acceptable.

Those SS ranks were also her nourishment, providing her with food for growth.

"What about the royal family?" Li Li suddenly thought of Princess Wu Yu.

"If you don't like it, you can change it." Libra said without changing his tone.

He doesn't care about the royal family he supports at all. Princess Wuyu's efforts and persistence are not worth mentioning in his eyes.

He also did not consider the turmoil that might be caused by a rash reshuffle of the royal family.

"Is this also an equal exchange between you and them?" Li Li asked.

"Of course," Libra said, "their value is far below yours."

Li Li felt even weirder.

Equivalent exchange is not fair exchange, nor is it voluntary exchange. When Libra emphasizes, it only emphasizes "equivalence", but who determines this value?

If you want something, you have to pay for it. Libra's attitude will not make Li Li feel adrift, but will only make her feel like she is slowly falling into a bottomless black hole.

She still didn't believe in Him.

Just then, Libra suddenly knocked on the table.

"Just right, the time has come." He said, sitting upright in front of Li Li, looking at Li Li with His human form and those light pink eyes.

Then he nodded slightly and said in a friendly tone: "Welcome back to reality."

This sound is completely different from the cold, mechanical system of the past.

In an instant, the swaying petals and the flowing water on the bridge all disappeared from my sight, and what came into view was the table lamp in front of me and the dark bedroom.

She came back to reality.

...

At midnight, the comics will be updated.

The content of this comic made many readers scream in pain, and both the comments and the forum were a sea of ​​blood.

It had been a long time since Li Li had checked her popularity score. Not long after the update tonight, her popularity score shot up like a rocket.

She quickly scanned the plot she already knew, and then stopped at the subsequent plots she didn't know.

After Yu Xiao's death, the cartoonist inserted a flashback.

This is a plot that makes Li Li feel that the cartoonist is very brave.

The picture is in black and white, and the hair color of the boy in the picture cannot be seen clearly. He has a very different face and temperament from Yu Xiao. In the picture, he is tilted to the side, and his pupils are looking in the direction outside the picture.

He doesn't look like Yu Xiao, nor does he look like Shuang Buyan, but Li Li is sure that he is the one.

"What do you think of my proposal?" the person outside the screen said, "Do you want to become a noble?"

The boy in the picture said, "What if I refuse?"

"It's best not to refuse."

"Why?"

"I know why you want to refuse."

The camera pulls to the right, moving toward the person outside the frame.

A strand of white hair appeared in the picture.

“You feel like the floating city has trapped you, but even if you leave the floating city, you can’t escape this world.”

It's Libra.

The cartoonist drew Libra in the comics.

That's why Li Li thought the cartoonist was really brave. She actually wondered if the cartoonist wanted to hide the existence of Libra. After all, the cartoonist might be under the system's surveillance just like her.

But that’s not the case. The cartoonist meant to bring Libra, the only SSS-level god in the comic world, who stands behind the scenes, to the front.

She suddenly wanted to meet the cartoonist very much.

The plot of the comic continued. After hearing Libra's words, the boy's expression faded and became indifferent.

"So?" he asked.

The picture zoomed in again, revealing a white cuff and a hand beneath the cuff that was as white and transparent as the long white hair.

Hand holding a teacup.

"Make a deal with me, and you only have to wait ten years to break out of this cage." Libra said.

"I will give you a prophecy," He said, "Ten years from now, your adopted son will be able to change the current situation, and the same can be done."

"Give you the sight you want to see most."

In the picture, the boy had no expression on his face. The shadow cast by his forehead covered half of his eye, while no light could be seen in the other eye.

Then the picture was shrouded in a faint black veil.

There are several bubbles that seem to be rising, some small and some large, appearing around the picture.

It's like looking up from the deep sea, and seeing the suffocating feeling that almost drowns you.

Then it turned completely black.

...

After that, the comic continued with Li Li closing her eyes. Thinking of the content of Shen Hai sleeping, Li Li flipped through the pages. After her story, there was the sequel of Yiming's story.

She finally understood why Yu Xiao was so sure of her "son" identity. Libra had abandoned him ten years ago.

"Did Yu Xiao finally agree to you?" she asked directly in the quiet room.

[He agreed.] The system's voice sounded, still the same mechanical sound, [but before the transaction was completed, he used his supernatural power to change his body and left the floating city.]

"What's your prophecy about?" Li Li asked again.

[After reaching the SSS level, you will have a 'premonition' of what will happen next. I told him that it was the 'premonition' I sensed in him.] The system replied, [As for the last scene, maybe he just wanted to sleep peacefully.]

"Really?" Li Li said indifferently.

The person who treats other people's lives as a game, only wants a peaceful death in the end?

But now Yu Xiao is dead and cannot come back to life to tell her what his wish is.

It was just that afternoon that she heard Yu Xiao say something.

A truly pessimistic person is already thinking about what he will do after death, but he doesn’t want to die yet. That’s what Yu Xiao said.

Either Yu Xiao didn't tell her the truth and was still acting, or

Libra is lying to Yu Xiao. He won't see what he wants to see the most.

That's right, Li Li thought.

The adoption claim was a lie from the beginning.

Libras will lie, and what they say sounds like the truth.
