Lao Te glanced at him with his cloudy old eyes and began to smoke with his head down.
He rubbed his fingers together, as if hinting at something.
All Aini could do was throw all the gold coins he had robbed to the greedy farmer.
"Hmm..." Lao Te smiled kindly: "What you said is possible. For example..."
"Bang!"
Before Lao Te could finish his words, a loud noise suddenly came from the door.
The guide in charge of alert rushed in. The moment they saw him, Eni and Flora understood that the enemy was coming.
"--Run!" Flora shouted.
"Crash--" the glass shattered, Eni and Flora climbed over the window and fled towards the farmland.
“Click.”
The door lock fell to the ground, and Su Mingan walked in from the main door. He just happened to see Aini and his group fleeing in panic. He originally just wanted to find the farmer Lao Te to get the second stone, but he ran into Aini and his group.
Su Mingan stretched out his hand, and a black gas climbed up along his arm and turned into an extremely long knife. In the previous search, he obtained a prop "Ghost Sword" that was exclusive to the Ghost of the Nine Gods. This thing can cause high damage as long as it hits people from a distance. It is a prop that extends the attack distance.
He rushed quickly into the corridor.
"Wait, slow down..." Siberia couldn't keep up and was left far behind.
Su Mingan had no intention of waiting for her and jumped over by holding on to the window sill.
Flora in front was running and looking back. When she met Su Mingan's gaze, her face turned pale.
“…It’s Su Mingan, run!” She pulled Aini and ran.
Even though they were weakened by half, Aini and Flora were still quite fast, and their agility points were not low. Su Mingan would definitely not be able to keep up with them if he ran normally.
But more than an hour had passed since Junko Iyuki's death, so he had to take action at least once to avoid arousing suspicion.
He raised his hand, aimed at the gap between the two people running, and deliberately slashed at the gap with his sword.
He deliberately missed the target with this blow, just to give Flora and the others the opportunity to escape.
Unexpectedly, Flora's feet slipped at this moment, and she accidentally took a step towards Aini, just in front of the blade.
...It's better to receive well than to hit well.
"Puchi!" There was a sound of a knife entering flesh, blood spurted out, and Flora, who was hit hard on the back, groaned.
"Flora!" Aini was horrified. He knew that Su Mingan's strength had been increased fivefold, and his damage would definitely kill them instantly. Even if Flora had just activated her strongest life-saving skill, which could forcibly reduce the damage by a thousand points, she would still be killed by a single blow...
……Um?
Aini was stunned when he saw Flora who still hadn't fallen down.
Even though her health bar was only a little bit left, she wasn't dead yet.
Aini vaguely sensed that something was wrong... Why wasn't Flora killed instantly?
He turned around and saw that Su Mingan was still walking slowly, not as fast as he had imagined.
"Wait, Flora..." Aini said, "Something seems to be wrong."
"Run! This must be Su Mingan's plan!" Flora spat out a mouthful of blood: "--He deliberately didn't kill me to lure you back!"
Sure enough, as Aini slowed down his pace, Su Mingan raised his sword again, with the blade facing him.
In the night, the long sword surging with strange energy looked particularly terrifying, as if countless ghosts were extending their deadly hands towards him.
Aini didn't suspect anything and ran away immediately.
"Flora, go stop him," he shouted.
"I'm not going." Flora raised her eyebrows.
"Go, don't walk side by side with me!"
"Why don't you go?"
"you go."
"you go!"
"you go!"
"you……"
After arguing for a while, Flora asked her guide Raphael to stand behind.
The magnificent pink energy overflowed from Raphael's sword, transforming into a pure impact force. Su Mingan, who was running, immediately slashed out with his sword to connect with it.
The pink and black energies connected, but the pink energy directly passed over the long sword and rushed straight towards him.
“Wow——”
Su Mingan was forced to take a few steps back. He really couldn't withstand this extremely strong thrust.
At this time, Aini slowed down again.
During his previous communication with the farmer Lao Te, he noticed something was wrong with the farm. Su Mingan's too slow killing speed had already made him confused, and the opponent's speed of movement and the inexplicably low damage did not seem like a disguise, which made him suspicious.
The main reason that made him turn back was... the person behind Su Mingan who was suspected to be the first guide did not catch up.
He wanted to test it, but Flora still held him tightly, and together with Old Te, they ran farther and farther away in the night...
Hiding behind a tall haystack, Aini could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart.
"Lao Te, we have a good relationship, right?" He stretched out his hand and put it on Lao Te's shoulder.
The panting Lao Te nodded reluctantly. Eni had gained a lot of favorability from him before.
"Can you continue to answer the question just now? Are there any special circumstances in this sacrificial field?" Aini said, "For example, the Nine Gods' Ghost is not very strong. What about this situation?"
"There are special cases like this." Lao Te said, "For example, if the person chosen as the ghost of the Nine Gods is naturally friendly to the aura of the Hundred Gods, the Nine Gods will not favor him..."
"Really?" Aini and Flora looked at each other, their eyes full of joy.
Flora was more cautious. She asked Lao Te: "If this happens, will the opponent's strength decrease..."
