She was just a little bluebird that recklessly stumbled into the devil's den.
"I know what you really want, the first place." Luo Ling sighed and said, "Also, I know very well that if I am willing to bet on it, you will definitely determine the winner of this auction in the first place."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tumi's expression changed slightly, and Yuejian next to her eyes suddenly lit up, and her look of anticipation became even stronger.
There was a hint of murderous intent in Xuemei's eyes, but Iris was the only one with a terrified expression.
"Oh? Really?" The first one's expression remained unchanged, but there was a little more smile in his eyes, "Why didn't I know that?"
"What you want is..." Luo Ling said this, and suddenly changed the subject, saying in a deep voice, "-"fall into the trap", "fall into the trap".
The first person's playful expression immediately changed. She raised her hand and shouted softly,
"The tea party is over."
In an instant, a black mist rolled in, sweeping away all the tea party members present.
But only a gray shadow was left. Although it was constantly dissipating, what dissipated was only the gray shadow covering her entire body.
At the same time, the gray fog that seemed to have remained unchanged around the Lost Kingdom of God suddenly dissipated, and what was revealed was not Victoria, nor any other kingdom of God.
But nothingness.
A complete "realm of nothingness".
Only the gray thorn garden hung alone in the middle.
"It has been a long time since I encountered anything beyond my expectations, my dear Miss Zizhu, but you are always a special exception."
The mystery of the first person was gradually fading, but he managed to maintain his secrecy in the end, but his voice became a little colder.
"So now, please tell me your price that will absolutely make my heart beat, otherwise, I will make you pay the corresponding price."
Chapter 85 You Like Me (6k)
In the "realm of nothingness", a gray thorn garden hangs alone, with some fragmented illusions on the edge, slowly drifting away until it falls into nothingness.
At this moment, under the effect of Luo Ling's ability, all disguises have been broken. This is an absolutely unknown land. It does not come from any place of origin, nor is it the kingdom of God.
The only ones who can enter and exit the Garden of Thorns are the tea party members who have the mark left on their foreheads by the first person, and that's all.
The first one was rarely moved. She stared at Luo Ling. The mysteriousness she managed to maintain still concealed her true identity, even her face was not revealed.
"It seems that my guess was correct..."
Luo Ling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and at the same time concealed a secret ritual to build power.
It was the "forbidden" power, "eternal life", that the educator gave to Alisa in order to encourage her to become the target of public criticism and pave the way for the religious leader's advancement.
During the last "Eternal Life" disaster, the "Pioneers" were defeated miserably, and even their scale was greatly affected, from hundreds of pioneers to twenty or thirty, but it was not completely without gain.
The power of "eternal life" held by the tenth "Guixu" in the strange sequence is the most important trophy.
Luo Ling didn't believe that the power of "eternal life" obtained by educators could only be used twice.
The artist had already used it on the train, or in other words, he was able to survive the attack from the "Company" only with the support of the power of "eternal life".
The educator must have some chances in his hand, which is the trump card on which he relies for survival.
For Luo Ling, this power is not for killing someone, but for bearing the price to be paid when revealing the truth.
It is not possible to tear apart the power of the First by simply "falling into the net" or "being trapped". The mysterious color and this garden are just part of the extension of her power.
It is an indisputable fact that the first one is very strong. If she is on guard, even if she uses the ability of "Naraku", it will probably be difficult to be effective.
—The directors of the "Company" had successfully countered the fully upgraded version of Naraku's ability used by Luo Ling, the power of "omniscience", so of course the First One could also do it.
Therefore, Luo Ling found the most appropriate time. Everyone's attention was focused on her, but no one expected that she would suddenly explode, and then use all her strength, exhausting her inspiration in an instant, even to the point of bleeding from all seven orifices, before her ability could take effect.
Even so, Luo Ling still used the power of "eternal life" just in case, and finally successfully blocked the backlash from the first one.
All of this is to have a private conversation with the first person, take the initiative in the conversation, and pave the way for the subsequent transaction.
In addition, in the previous conversation, Luo Ling had almost figured out the first person's personality.
She likes unexpected surprises very much, and being overly conventional will only make her gradually lose interest.
... Of course, a "surprise" like Luo Ling's, which was to overturn the table without caring about the consequences, was a bit too much of a surprise.
"There are only two of us left, so there's no need to deliberately say anything ambiguous." Luo Ling, who had almost emerged from the dim gray shadows, looked directly at the leader and said in a deep voice, "From the beginning, your target... was me, right?"
"Heh," the first one smiled noncommittally, but his cold expression melted a little, "Ms. Zizhu, why didn't I realize that you could be so narcissistic before?"
"Whether it was an intentional or unintentional hint, or the direct statement of the conditions for the creation of "Victoria at the Last Moment", the target was me."
Luo Ling said calmly. Although her words sounded somewhat like Yue Jian, her expression and tone were as calm as ever.
"I'm sure you know that, unlike the other members of the Tea Party, I value Victoria very much and don't want it to fall into oblivion."
"This is the first time I've heard of this." The first man gradually returned to his usual laziness with a smile between his brows.
Although the first person always responded like this, Luo Ling knew very well that she was just pretending to be stupid.
After Luo Ling changed the topic back, Shoudi knew that although the matter was somewhat out of control, it did not really touch her bottom line.
The surprise is just a surprise, not to the extent of being frightening.
That's enough.
What Luo Ling grasped was the current psychology of the first person.
This is exactly the effect she wants.
"So, I can offer you a price you absolutely cannot refuse. It's very simple." Luo Ling paused, then pointed at himself and said softly, "It's me."
“Puff!”
The first person laughed instantly, but soon stopped laughing and said playfully,
"Do you know the true identity of Yue Jian, whom I just rejected? Oh, you don't know, and you can't know. Anyway, I even rejected her offer to trade herself.
"So, dear Miss Zizhu, why do you think you are qualified to make an offer that I absolutely cannot refuse?"
"because... "
Luo Ling hesitated for a moment, but her hesitation was not indecision, but just... difficult to express.
But after a moment, she put on a stern face and said in a deep voice, "You like me."
"Hahaha... "
The first one finally burst into laughter. It was a laugh she had never had before, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
He even laughed, and even Luo Ling felt a little unconfident.
Could it be that her judgment... was really wrong
Is she really too self-righteous
But on the surface, Luo Ling still maintained the most basic calmness and continued, "So, your answer is to reject this offer? First place."
"Refuse... Why would I reject a chosen one who is willing to throw himself into my arms? Especially you, Miss Zizhu." The first one supported his cheek with one hand, tilted his head slightly and looked at Luo Ling, and said softly, "I was right before, Yuejian is indeed important, but she is not as important as you.
"So, I really can't refuse this offer. You've already won, Miss Zizhu."
"Wait, first person, I haven't finished what I want to say," Luo Ling said quickly, "Of course it can't be all of me."
Speaking of this, Luo Ling always felt something was weird. Was she... selling herself out
Forget it, it’s just how the words are expressed, it’s not like I’m really selling myself.
This can only be regarded as a transaction that is known to both parties.
"Please go ahead, Miss Zizhu, I'm listening."
The first one just smiled as before, with no extra changes in his expression.
"Three chances," Luo Ling held up three fingers and said, "Three chances in total. You can make me do everything within my ability, but the premise is that you can't force me to do anything I don't want to do."
"I have the final say over these three chances... These are the conditions, how do you think?"
"good."
To Luo Ling's surprise, the first person didn't even think about bargaining. He nodded and agreed almost the moment Luo Ling finished speaking.
"... Um, don't you think my request is a bit excessive?"
Instead, Luo Ling felt embarrassed. Her bottom line was actually five chances. If the first one insisted, it would be okay to break the bottom line a little.
Luo Ling was just worried that if the conditions were too lenient right from the start, the number one would become more demanding and make more demands.
But I didn't expect...
The first place was refreshingly surprising.
But when you think about it, it seems she has always been like this.
“Is this too much?”
The first one leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Luo Ling, with an inexplicable look in her beautiful eyes that couldn't even hide the mystery.
"Ms. Zizhu, you have to know that if your value is only equivalent to a "Victoria at the last moment", I will not be interested in you, and I will not think that... this is a price that I cannot refuse.
"You seem to have greatly underestimated your own value, or rather, I seem to have underestimated everything you have...
"Three chances is neither too many nor too few, but... they are rare enough and precious enough to be interesting enough, isn't it?"
The first one didn't care at all how much loss she would suffer, because everything she did was just spontaneous.
Luo Ling thought she had seen through the first place, but now it seems... beneath the abyss, there is an even deeper and invisible abyss.
This mysterious and elegant woman remains elusive.
"So, have we reached a deal?" Luo Ling said, "No need... to swear an oath, sign a contract or something like that?"
After all, whether it is the three opportunities to use Luo Ling or "Victoria at the final moment", they are things that neither of them has obtained, so signing a contract seems reasonable.
“Miss Zizhu, are you kidding me? You are the Chosen One of Naraku, the Chosen One of Naraku who has the power to “rewrite the present world.” The first one looked at Luo Ling with a smile and continued, “Whether to you or to me, the so-called contract and the so-called oath are all just pieces of waste paper.
"It is completely impossible and unnecessary to rely on a piece of waste paper to restrict you and me. I believe you will keep your promise, and you believe I will keep my promise. The trust between us is enough."
"... Um."
Luo Ling nodded slightly.
What the first one said does make sense. Even if she doesn't use Naraku's ability, she still has the powerful weapon of "devouring". It's just that she is not willing to use this ability that will lead her deeper into the path of "doomsday".
"Very good, our deal is done."
The first one raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the surrounding black fog rolled in again, and the thorn garden returned to its previous appearance.
This lost kingdom of God - although it is not a kingdom of God, its essence is somewhat similar to the kingdom of God and its boundaries, except that it belongs to the first power. In short, except Luo Ling, no other tea party members can perceive the true side of the lost kingdom of God.
"Oh, there's one more thing."
The first one said this and suddenly stood up.
This was almost the first time Luo Ling had ever seen the chief leave her seat. No matter what the situation was before, even when Luo Ling rudely overturned the table, she sat in the chief chair without moving.
"What's up?"
Luo Ling replied subconsciously, and then she was caught off guard by a finger lifting her chin.
It was just a trance, and the first person had already arrived in front of her. A faint fragrance wafted into her nose, and under the faint mysterious color, she could vaguely see an amazingly beautiful face, staring at her in fascination.
"You haven't been punished for your mischief just now, Miss Zizhu." The first one said in a terrifyingly gentle voice, which was so gentle that it carried a deadly charm that could captivate the soul. "I will be very unhappy if you mess up the garden that I have carefully arranged.
"So, my dear Miss Zizhu, what should you use to repay me?"
"I... "
Luo Ling was about to speak, but she found that her body was completely frozen at this moment, as if it was frozen in this moment.
At the same time, the gray shadow she barely maintained was completely torn apart and dissipated, and her true body was exposed in front of the First Place.
"So beautiful, more beautiful than I thought." The first intoxicated gaze became more and more distant, and the beautiful face gradually approached, "Actually, Miss Zizhu, what you just said is correct.
"I... do like you."
As soon as the words fell, the first one kissed her directly, completely breaking through Luo Ling's stubborn defense and pouring all the sweetness into her.
