Chapter 39

Chapter 39

To be honest, Liu Ye had gotten the fright of his life too. After all, someone had died right in front of him for no reason, and in such a bloody way at that.

It was just that he had always been bold. Back in the village, he was the kind of guy who dared to sleep on top of a grave mound.

So he recovered almost immediately. Then he tugged at John and asked in a low voice, “Zhao’er, I get it now. That guy came here to kill himself, right?”

“Huh?”

John was completely baffled. Then he saw Liu Ye wearing an expression that said, I understand everything.

“I get it. I heard my big brother talk about this. People in the city these days are all under a lot of pressure, always doing this kind of thing for no reason. I’m guessing these four were the same. And you, honestly, you’re reckless as hell. They were committing suicide, and you just had to stick your nose in. That’s how you ended up getting beaten into this sorry state.”

John: “…”

Liu Ye looked at the remaining two. One was Black and one was white; they clearly weren’t from Xia Kingdom.

He couldn’t help thinking, Dressed this sharp, what could possibly be so unbearable?

“You three, if you’ve got some kind of trouble, why don’t you tell me about it? I’m not that capable, but who knows, maybe I can help solve it.”

Jack didn’t understand what Liu Ye was saying. Of the three foreigners, Oda Nobumaru had the best Chinese, while the other two only had a rough grasp of it. In the conversation just now, John had been speaking a foreign language, so there had been no problem with communication between the two sides.

Liu Ye, however, was different. His words were a little slurred, and he spoke with an accent. That made things difficult for them.

They looked toward Xiaoshuai, only to see that Xiaoshuai’s expression had turned extremely ugly. Because he was scared, he had retreated the farthest away, so he had not heard everything clearly, but he could more or less guess what Liu Ye meant.

“I already told you not to provoke him. Great. Now we can’t leave.”

“What does he mean?” Jack quickly asked.

“He said he isn’t that capable, but taking care of us still won’t be a problem.”

“That arrogant?”

Jack and Freddy were both a little indignant. But when they thought of what had just happened to Oda Nobumaru, they hesitated for a moment.

John, on the other hand, stood up and whispered to Liu Ye, “Brother Liu, be careful. They’re all Pro Player-level experts.”

“They… they… are… all… Pro Player-level?” Liu Ye stammered.

“That’s right.” John nodded gravely.

“No, explain that clearly. How many do they have?” Liu Ye swallowed and asked.

“Hm? How many? Just the three of them.”

“Three?” Liu Ye stared at the three people in front of him in shock.

“Damn. Three balls on one guy… No wonder they can’t take it anymore and want to kill themselves. And people with such weird bodies all ended up together too. The world really is full of strange things. No wonder Brother Guiwa said I should go out and see more of it. With bodies like that, they might even get discriminated against when looking for wives in the future.”

Liu Ye looked at them with pity.

At that moment, Jack and Freddy were about to lose their minds. Although they couldn’t understand Liu Ye’s words, they could still read a look in someone’s eyes. Liu Ye was actually pitying them. Pitying them for what? For opposing him and being about to die? That was far too arrogant.

Because of that, neither of them dared to make a move.

Jack even let Miss Zhang go.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to deal with Liu Ye. It was that, when facing an expert like this, one unnecessary movement could cost him his life.

As for using Miss Zhang as a hostage? Don’t be ridiculous. Although they hadn’t known each other for long, based on Xiaoshuai’s description and their own observations, the other party was obviously an ambitious, arrogant, sinister schemer full of tricks. How could he possibly let himself be restrained for the sake of a Female Fiend?

“Uh, you three…”

The moment Liu Ye opened his mouth, Xiaoshuai and the other two instantly took a step back.

Although he had not done anything, in the instant he began to speak, they felt an invisible pressure bearing down on them. Several drops of sweat even slid down Xiaoshuai’s face.
Seeing how nervous they were, Liu Ye could understand. After all, this kind of thing really wasn’t something you could talk about. If people found out, how humiliating would that be?

After being repressed for so long, it was perfectly normal for them to be afraid of strangers.

At that thought, he felt John really hadn’t been beaten for nothing. Come on, this was someone else’s deeply private business, and John had gone and dug up every last detail. No wonder they were making such a fuss about dying.

“Listen, gentlemen, dying is extremely easy.”

Xiaoshuai looked ahead in terror.

“He says it’d be easy for him to kill us.”

Jack glared viciously at Liu Ye. If this guy wanted them dead, it wouldn’t be that simple.

“Tell him I have a terrifying Terror A-rank Fiend on me-Bloody Mary! If he insists on pushing us, then we’ll drag him down with us!”

Xiaoshuai nodded, then shouted, “We have a high-level Fiend too, Bloody Mary! Worst case, we all… can we still run?”

Liu Ye didn’t have superhuman hearing. The two sides were too far apart, so he could only make out bits and pieces.

“Bloody urine… and run… Oh my god, is it that serious already?”

“How about… trying traditional Chinese medicine?”

Xiaoshuai was on the verge of tears.

“He says he’s very interested in your Bloody Mary.”

Jack: “…”

“This is too much!”

Freddy’s eyes went red. When had he ever suffered this kind of humiliation? Black mist erupted from his body, and a Fiend with severely burned skin and a pair of razor claws in its hands let out a sinister laugh as it lunged at Liu Ye.

This was Freddy’s Fiend. Although it was only B-rank, its ability was extremely powerful.

As long as it touched the target’s body, it could drag them into a dream.

And inside the dream, it was an undying, invincible existence. In fact, as long as someone in the real world remembered its name, it could resurrect endlessly.

Of course, in exchange, its own combat strength was only average. Its main use was trapping people, then wearing them down until they died.

That was exactly what Freddy was planning now. No matter how strong Liu Ye was, once his Fiend trapped him, surely they could at least run away.

The Fiend flew up to Liu Ye with a savage grin. Its claws were just about to touch him.

Then Liu Ye suddenly swatted at it as casually as if he were smacking a fly.

“Smack!”

The Fiend was slapped straight into motes of light, then absorbed into Liu Ye’s body.

“Huh? Strange. Why do I suddenly feel a lot better?” Liu Ye said in confusion.

Xiaoshuai and the other two: “…”

Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

What was going on? Even if he was strong, there had to be a limit, right? What kind of person casually wiped out an A-rank Fiend with one slap?

Immediately after, Freddy’s body trembled. In the next second, he exploded.

“How could this be?”

The remaining two were scared witless. Even if they were idiots, they knew this was the result of Liu Ye killing the Fiend.

But they had clearly used special means to control their Fiends. Even if a Fiend died, it shouldn’t have affected them. So why had it turned out like this?

Liu Ye was even more speechless. He had been talking for so long, so why wouldn’t they listen? The world was such a beautiful place. Why did they have to insist on dying?

“Zhao’er, I feel like I can’t handle this anymore. How about we call the police?”

John: “…”

You really are far too modest.
