Fight or retreat
When Zero mentioned the question of "the lips and the teeth are interdependent", although Bai Wu still felt unsure of winning, the madman in his bones had already thought of the answer.
"Ninety years of waiting can't just be a waste of time, right? In your world, it's often seven hundred years, but in my opinion... ninety years is really a long time."
"Of course, it's not just for the wishes of those veterans of the Survey Corps. I also want to build such a shelter."
Zero knew that this was a positive response.
You still have a few days to prepare, Bai Wu, you need to understand one thing.
"What?"
The significance of this battle is to make the shelter stand firm, not to save anyone. War is bloody and life-threatening, as evidenced by the countless deaths of mechanical races in the mechanical city. I hope you have this awareness, and I also hope that in the next few days, you can make your friends realize this as well.
Zero did not mention how he would provide support or how much support he would bring. After saying this, Zero cut off the connection.
This conversation ends here.
Although Bai Wu analyzed the news with Zero suddenly, he still had to digest it.
"No. 0 is right. Only by gathering all the strength we can muster, and only by letting everyone ignite their fighting spirit and not succumb to the terrifying force of the Jing family, can we probably have a glimmer of hope in the coming catastrophe."
"This duel... is bound to result in a lot of losses..."
"If we lose, we will have nothing. There may be new hopes in the future who are stronger than me, Shorty, and Zero Lin Rui... but that may be a long, long time in the future. Death is just the beginning of the next journey, but if we can prove to those who come after us that someone once fought... it would be a meaningful way to die."
"Damn it, why am I so negative... What if I win?"
Time passed minute by minute. Although Bai Wu knew that he was negative, he could not erase this negativity because no matter how he thought about it, this battle was full of danger.
Especially... This is essentially a gamble.
Even if the shelter wins, it will probably end with Jingwu and another member of the Jing family being defeated miserably, but will the other party die? I don't think so. Even if they die, will the shelter, which is also severely damaged, not have other enemies? Not necessarily.
In other words, even if everyone sacrificed their lives to win this battle, it is not certain that the shelter will be able to gain a foothold.
Because the shelter has been exposed to the eyes of these major forces, the possibility of surviving and developing cautiously as he had envisioned no longer exists.
Whether or not they can gain a firm foothold after winning the battle ultimately depends on Jing Liu.
This woman saw through everything and planned everything.
"I am Jing Liu's big chess piece, at least for now. Now that he has something more important, Jing Liu thinks he can abandon me. But as Zero said, she can't see that future either."
"Sacrifice the rook to save the king, but if the king is saved and the rook is not abandoned, the rook is more valuable."
In short, if I win, I will still be the hero in the prophecy carefully packaged by Jing Liu. As for the matter of the shelter standing firm, Jing Liu might bring the "handsome man" who was saved to help build it.
But if you lose... you have nothing.
After Bai Wu sorted out these relationships, he still had a lot of more troublesome things to solve.
For example, obeying the main forces coming from Shudu Prison, such as how to use the terrain, how to layout, and how to minimize losses.
The Mechanical City could rely on Zero's power to face off head-on, but not this time.
Bai Wu was thinking about various strategies, and before he knew it... it was late at night.
When Bai Wu came to his senses, he found out that he had been infected with the second negative attribute - hell soil.
"Good luck, free attribute..."
This is actually a very scary negative attribute. Once you have this attribute, the negative emotions in your body will materialize at any time and separate from the body, making the negative emotions less intense. However, the separated negative emotions will turn into terrible monsters.
The monster's mutation level is linked to the ability of the attribute infector.
In other words, a person who is infected with this negative attribute and has many negative emotions is no different from a mobile human monster-killing machine.
However, this attribute is meaningless to Bai Wu.
There was deathly silence all around until he finally came up with some strategies to deal with the situation—footsteps were heard from above.
Slowly, yet with a certain rhythm, like an old-fashioned pendulum, swinging slowly.
The last strange story finally appeared.
The old man holding the thermos cup walked slowly on the upper floor. Although his speed was slow, it wouldn't take long for him to reach the floor where the white fog was.
There was a knock on the door, three times. When no one answered, the old man would ask:
"Do you want to drink the tea? It's just been brewed."
After knocking three more times and seeing no response, the old man would move to the next room and repeat the above process.
Bai Wu pricked up his ears and listened for a long time and found that the process in every room was the same.
About half an hour later, the old man was no longer upstairs. He came to the level where the white fog was, holding a thermos cup.
It’s still the same step, knock on the door three times, ask if they want tea, and knock three more times.
Of course, no one lives on this floor, except for the room where Bai Wu is.
However, the white fog is more terrifying than the ghost story, and the aphasia prevents him from using his mouth to defeat the evil, so now he can only conquer the evil by force.
"There are many suspicious points about this ghost story... Why is there such a thermos cup in the peeper's room? Was it taken away by the ghost story? Or is there another reason?"
"never mind."
The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and Bai Wu picked up the axe directly.
"I must open the door before he gets close and kill him instantly!"
"Respect the rules. Ghost stories are no match for me, but they may not play by the rules. If I wait for them to knock on my door before I open it, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Bai Wu had a hunch that he should either hide and not respond, or attack when the other party wasn't paying attention. In short, he couldn't follow the rhythm of the ghost story.
His intuition once again grasped the key point as accurately as a prophecy.
When the old man knocked on the door next door and asked if he wanted tea, Bai Wu holding an axe was like an assassin lurking in the shadows!
Bang! The door was kicked open by Bai Wu.
Bai Wu pushed his speed to the limit without saying much. Even though a note popped up in his eyes, he forced his attention away to make sure his axe would hit the target!
The power of this axe is already somewhat like the style of Wujiu who cut through the cabin from across the cabin on the flight and rescued Bai Wu!
The axe in Bai Wu's hand seemed not to be an axe, but a guillotine.
He gathered his strength at his waist and swung the axe hard at the white-haired old man's neck.
The sword light that can only be produced when a sharp blade is swung suddenly burst out at this moment.
The white-haired old man didn't even have time to say his lines... The dead silence that was filled with the twilight was like the ghostly aura in a black and white photo. Before he could even cause the slightest fear to his opponent, he was chopped off his head and body by the white mist's axe.
"This apartment of yours really makes me respect the elderly and love the young."
To the ears of the ghost story, these words became a burst of noise.
You killed it already? ohhhh no! I haven't even started the story yet
If the Eye of Prell had an expression, it would probably be the expression of a certain golden right foot that said "I haven't gotten on the bus yet."
Well, it's good to listen to its story. Although it is dead, you great, all-knowing, handsome me are still here. Don't be fooled by the kind-hearted old man, he is a tough guy.
There are many evil beings, or passive evil beings, in this apartment building. The old man sees it with his own eyes and feels happy in his heart.
When supplies were scarce, his tea was very popular, and naturally some people wondered if such an old man had tea for others to drink, and whether he had hoarded a lot of supplies. These people all wanted to plot against this old man, but they never came back.
As for those who opened the door, the old man would leave the thermos in their house. But the next day, if these people did not give a gift in return, they would all disappear without exception.
You may be curious about the meaning of this old man's actions. People always like to make up a central idea for a story, but isn't it the most terrifying thing for a pervert to do things without logic? Of course, it does have some secrets, and the exploration of this apartment is not over yet, but I guess your mind is no longer here.
Four pieces of the doomsday puzzle fell directly to the ground. Bai Wu originally thought that such a small area should be some special individual pieces. But he didn't expect that such a small area could have four pieces...
In other words, this apartment is actually divided into four areas? Bai Wu felt that there was something fishy going on here, and that this apartment seemed to be hiding some secrets.
"It seems that my luck is not that good, but I do need to remove the area restrictions. The apartment may still hide some secrets... or even another world, but all this can only wait until the disaster in the shelter is over, and then I will explore it in detail."
Since the old man was dead, there was no way to take him in as a guardian spirit. Bai Wu was open-minded, after all, it was impossible for everything to go according to his plan.
He lifted the old man's head, and then put the four pieces of diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades, which respectively represented the purification of evil into humans, the closeness of evil, the invalidation of rules, and the release of areas, into the storage bag.
At the same time, Bai Wu held an axe and began to look for other ghost stories with a ferocious look on his face.
The next thing is to start the final finishing work.
I have to say, holding the old man's head, Bai Wu's image of the worst tenant in history has become more full and much more convincing than the previous TV fragments and the girl's hair stuff.
Bai Wu's plan of "One Man, Six Strange Stories" was completed 83% with some minor flaws.
But the gains from this trip are among the best among many adventures.
In addition to the earliest TV villain's gaze of resentment, which can create an indispellable short-term hallucination, and Spider-Woman's web chain field, which makes the opponent's speed slower the closer he is to himself -
Bai Wu has mastered the evil clone of the elevator killer. He can create a clone with certain abilities around the person who has murderous intentions towards him. Although it is not powerful, it can have a certain confusing effect.
Then there is the evil disguise of the human trafficker. When you harbor evil intentions towards your enemy, you will be more likely to gain their favor. This ability is a great undercover skill.
Of course, it cannot be compared with those who have integrated into Yan Chao. After all, this sequence can gain the other party's trust while acquiring abilities, and there is no restriction on good or evil.
However, the evil disguise cannot be used on people like Hong Yin and Jiang Yimi, because he has no ill will towards them at all.
However, Bai Wu discovered that after the human trafficking girl ghost attached herself to him... her hair became longer.
This is totally unfair. How can someone become stronger and not be bald
The last one is the Living Dead Technique of the Living Puppet, which Bai Wu believes is the most helpful ability in battle after the spider web connects to the field.
In short... one can attach one's consciousness to a dead object for a short period of time, thereby controlling the object. According to the notes given by the eyes, the dead object must have been dead from the beginning - if it is a dead body, it will not work.
Although Bai Wu is still unclear about the extent of his control, these abilities have indeed expanded his limits.
Finally, the white mist began to purify the distorted rules here, and Xin Zeyou's seven hundred-year-old illness was completely eradicated.
The apartment was finally cleansed to its original state.
Although the last strange story shows that the old man still has some secrets, Bai Wu can only solve these trivial matters after the upcoming big event is over.
Now he must go to Baichuan Middle School and tell Lin Rui some things.
…
…
Baichuan Middle School.
When Bai Wu returned to Baichuan Middle School, the laughter had stopped.
As the clown stopped laughing, Lin Rui, Jiang Yimi, the many villains in Baichuan City, and nearly a thousand teachers and students in Baichuan campus... all regained consciousness.
Lin Rui still felt that everything was like a dream. Although the evil creature was not powerful, he knew the danger of its laughter.
But in the end... Lin Rui originally thought that he and the clown would have a showdown, but because of Yan Jiu's words, the clown resolved the crisis.
And I hope Yan Jiu can come to the circus to watch performances often.
What is this unfolding
After Lin Rui told Jiang Yimi about this, Jiang Yimi became depressed:
"The girls around this uncle are really amazing... I am so useless..."
Such a big crisis was resolved, and Jiang Yimi only felt that she, the master of Baichuan Middle School, had become a complete foil.
She and Lin Rui have not yet realized the crisis is coming, and Lin Rui even has a premonition... If Yan Jiu continues to meet the circus clown, this girl may be able to open up to him.
Who knows, this laughter may become a protective mechanism for the shelter.
After this incident, Yan Jiu gained recognition. After she returned to the student dormitory area, those evil people were no longer afraid of her or alienated her.
As for Yan Jiu, through his contact with the clown, it seemed that he had awakened some kind of talent, and he was even more comfortable communicating with evil spirits than with humans.
She wanted to share this with Bai Wu, but when Bai Wu came back, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Standing on top of the principal's office building at Baiwu Station, overlooking the school:
"The area is not large. We need to find a way to have them clear out the surrounding area in the next few days and collect as many Doomsday fragments as possible."
"At the same time... I have to go back to the tower. I wonder what Qin Zong's attitude towards me is?"
