"Huh? What's the misunderstanding?" Ximu looked at the old man Lich and asked.
"Look, I didn't capture you. We haven't had much communication since you came here, so there isn't much hatred between us." The old man Lich analyzed seriously, "In other words, you are not me. enemy, I am not your enemy either. Since we are not enemies to each other, why should we fight and hinder you? You want to leave this Garden of Eden, right? Well, let’s go, I won’t stop you.”
"Are you sure?" Ximu asked, looking over with suspicion, "If you really don't want to stop me, then why did you command your group of skeleton men to attack me just now?"
"Ah, this -" the old man Lich drawled, rolled his eyes, and explained with a serious expression, "This, this is actually normal. Although I don't want to stop you, as a person living here, I see When you run out, you have to fulfill your obligations. It is my obligation to use magic puppets to stop you. Now that you have destroyed all the magic puppets, my obligation has been completed, and I will treat the 'boy who captured you' It can be regarded as an explanation. In this way, there is no need or reason to fight to the death with you, and letting you go is the right choice."
"Really?" Ximu still had doubts.
"Of course it's true." Old Lich said contagiously, "In fact, in a sense, I was also captured by that kid. We are in the same camp. If I hadn't been too old and didn't want to take risks, I Everyone wants to leave with you. Okay, stop talking nonsense and leave quickly before that kid comes back, otherwise it will be too late. By the way, the exit is over there."
As he spoke, the old lich pointed toward the distance.
Ximu was stunned and took a deep look at the old man Lich. He really couldn't tell whether what the old man Lich said was true or not. He frowned and walked slowly in the direction pointed by the old man Lich.
Looking at Ximu's back, the old Lich breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glad to have escaped a losing battle. As long as Ximu leaves the Garden of Eden, he will be safe. Next, you can consider going to Pandora, and the two of you will chase her out and catch Ximu together, and then "claim credit" in front of Richard to let Richard know how powerful he is. Of course, you can also pretend that nothing happened and go back to the easy chair to catch up on your sleep, which will save Ximu from having to live a life of fear again after he is captured.
While the old lich was thinking, Ximu kept walking away.
One step, two steps, three steps...
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, Ximu stopped and turned his head to look at the old man Lich. His expression was full of vigilance and he said: "You won't sneak attack me while I'm leaving, will you? You are indeed very weak, and you are not strong enough to defeat me." However, if we adopt a sneak attack method, it will still be very fatal if it succeeds."
I'm willing to let you go, can you stop talking so much nonsense... The old man Lich's expression darkened, and he said solemnly: "Let's go, I have no reason to attack!"
"Maybe." Ximu was noncommittal, turning his head warily and continuing to walk towards the exit.
Four steps, five steps, six steps...
"yawn!"
Seeing Ximu walking further and further away, the old man Lich felt that the outcome was certain, so he relaxed his body and couldn't help but yawned. He slowly raised his hand and covered his mouth, feeling a deep tiredness coming over him.
He had worked too long hours before and was really tired. He couldn't help but prefer a lighter choice: maybe it would be better to pretend that nothing happened after letting Ximu go. In this way, there is no need to cooperate with Pandora and Ximu in a fight - it would be fine if they win, but the outcome would be miserable if they lose.
But as soon as the old man Lich raised his hand to cover his mouth, Ximu, who had always been on high alert, stopped again and turned around suddenly as if he was stimulated.
"What are you doing?!" Ximu asked loudly.
"What did you think I was doing!" The old Lich said impatiently, "It's just a yawn."
"Are you sure you're not using this action to cover up your sneak attack?" Ximu's suspicion deepened.
"You think too much!" Old Lich frowned, "I already told you that I'm going to let you go. Just leave. Can you be so long-winded? Otherwise, that kid Richard will come back later. What do you think? I can’t even walk.”
"Ha, this is your real purpose!" Ximu's eyes suddenly sparkled, as if he had discovered some deeply hidden truth.
The old man Lich was a little confused. He looked at Ximu and asked, "What is my real purpose?"
"You deliberately acted like you were letting me go, just to make me suspicious, thereby arousing my alertness and delaying my departure, so that you could wait until that kid came back to catch me." Ximu said seriously, his words loud and clear. .
The old man Lich looked at Ximu, his eyes widened slightly, and he was a little startled.
"Are you sick? This is all because you think too much, okay? I didn't mean it at all." The old man Lich said angrily.
"Actually, you are using the method of refuting me to continue to delay time." Ximu became more and more sure.
"I-" The old Lich was speechless. He looked at Ximu with a look that said, "I'm afraid you're a fool." He knocked on his head and asked, "Isn't it because you have been imprisoned for too long? Isn’t it easy to use here?”
"Hmph!" Ximu said with disdain, "Stupid lich, don't look at me with your superficial eyes. I am an advanced life that is much nobler than you. My wisdom is engraved in my soul, so I There’s no need for something as useless as a human brain.”
"Okay, okay." The old man Lich showed an expression of "I'm afraid of you", with a bit of disgust in his eyes, and quickly waved his hand and said, "You are an advanced life, you have no brain, and you are the smartest. Then can you Come on, hurry up, I still have to sleep after you leave."
"Of course I want to leave." Ximu said sternly, "But the problem is that you are using ridiculous tricks to keep delaying me and not letting me leave. I think once I expose you, there is a high possibility that you will directly attack me. Take action.
Now I even suspect that this is all a huge conspiracy. The reason is very good. Every time the boy left before, he would warn me, but this time there was no warning at all. It seemed like it was intentional. Your attitude is too weak and does not fit the status of that boy's lackey at all. Maybe, that boy is waiting for me outside the exit. When I get out, you and that boy can attack me from both sides, right? "
The old lich looked at Ximu with wide eyes and pointed with a finger, which was shaking because of the shock.
The old man Lich felt a little nervous at this moment. He felt that the Ximu in front of him was completely unreasonable. He couldn't help shouting and asked: "Are you a big fool?!"
