Chapter 975: Chapter 784: I Don’t Want to Go Right Now

Even if he wanted to court death, Xu Shuo was doing so judiciously.

Xu Shuo felt his own mind was hazy, so how could he continue courting death? A third attempt might leave him with no means to respond at all.

However, facing Los’s strange gaze that seemed to say “you’re being unreasonable,” Xu Shuo still didn’t explain.

Let’s just let this wonderful misunderstanding persist.

Without looking again at that thing whose appearance he had once again forgotten, Xu Shuo rubbed his slightly aching temples and turned away, walking out of the space rift Los had torn open.

Who knows how much time had passed outside.

But it was still night.

Seeing his figure appear next to the alert line, Captain Zheng was taken aback for a moment before he reacted.

“Mr… Mr. Xu?!”

His eyes suddenly brightened, and his expression was slightly surprised yet somewhat apprehensive.

Seeing that the young man seemed to be in a poor state, Captain Zheng quickly approached ready to pull aside the alert line and rush in to support him, but Xu Shuo gestured to stop him.

So far.

Xu Shuo was the only one who had gone in and come out.

So, it’s imaginable how excited Captain Zheng was feeling.

He urgently wanted to know what the situation inside was, what exactly they should be prepared for, whether the entire city needed to be evacuated?

A city, more than three million people!

If it really was severe enough to require the evacuation of the whole urban area.

Then there would definitely be a response from above.

Because such a big operation could no longer be hidden from the general public, yet the authorities still wanted to keep this news under wraps.

Thinking of these things already gave Captain Zheng a headache.

Looking at Captain Zheng’s hopeful expression.

Xu Shuo said tactfully, “The situation inside is hard for me to say, but if Luo Kai can come out safely, then there’s still room to maneuver. Let’s see what he plans to do first.”

Hearing these words, Captain Zheng’s pupils slightly enlarged: “You mean, Mr. Luo might not make it back?”

“He’ll definitely come out…”

Xu Shuo thought for a moment and said, “Just not necessarily in a normal state.”

He felt.

Los would definitely bring the person out to account for him.

Even if it’s a monster.

Always prepare for the worst, right?

Captain Zheng said solemnly, “I understand, I’ll prepare for the worst; the situation here has already been reported to above.”

Xu Shuo suddenly curiously asked, “What’s been the recent commotion above?”

Hearing this question.

Captain Zheng didn’t answer directly.

Instead, he looked at him seriously and said, “Mr. Xu, do you think our world has the potential for unity?”

Saying this, Captain Zheng wasn’t calculating a thing, those clear eyes were firm and earnest, as if by asking, he had already believed in some possibility.

Xu Shuo paused and said, “I never ponder such conceptual thoughts.”

“Alright then.”

Captain Zheng immediately gave a wry smile.

Although he didn’t get an answer.

But during these two sentences.

Captain Zheng felt that his own pessimistic mood seemed to have been slightly eased.

And just at this moment, within the alert line in front of them, there suddenly appeared a figure a bit familiar yet not too familiar.

That figure fell from the air onto the ground, seeming paused before reacting.

Then he got up and walked towards the alert line.

This person should be Luo Kai.

The reason for using “should be.”

Is because this person was wearing Luo Kai’s previous clothes, with a head of messy black curly hair, and holding in his hand a bright red-lit Patterned Han Sword.

But…

The age seemed a bit off.

Xu Shuo was stunned and puzzled, scrutinizing the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Captain Zheng, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded.

“Stop looking, it’s because of the excessive consumption.”

The teenage version of Luo Kai said as he crawled out from under the alert line.

His face was pale, his expression slightly listless, with an obvious sense of weakness, his whole image transformed from the previous “slovenly weathered uncle” to a “fragile beauty with a broken aura.”

Captain Zheng hesitantly asked, “Mr. Luo?”

Xu Shuo didn’t speak.

But his gaze was clearly a bit odd.

Luo Kai irritably rubbed his curly hair: “It’s really me. There wasn’t enough spiritual blood in storage, so I could only use my own body as the medium of ability, which led to this state from the consumption.”

Captain Zheng still hadn’t reacted.

Xu Shuo then raised his eyebrows and said, “If that’s the case, shouldn’t you have been drained of blood into a dried corpse?”

“I originally thought so too, but my Lifebound Weapon is evidently more nimble-minded than I am; it only consumed my Vitality.”

As he said this, Luo Kai transformed the Patterned Han Sword in his hand into a Ruby.

This Ruby was something he encountered during the Level Two assessment script.

Originally it wasn’t red.

It was said to evolve according to the intent of its contracted owner.

And just as Luo Kai had newly joined Script Space, suddenly obtaining superpowers, he held a heart of a warrior roaming the world propelled by martial virtue.

Thus this Ruby ultimately became the Cloud Patterned Han Sword he envisioned.

The gemstone grows with blood as nourishment.

But in truth, its real nourishment is the “Life energy” of all things in existence.

Luo Kai initially didn’t know.

He later found out, and by then the Ruby had already been nurtured improperly, not only favoring spiritual blood but also evolving fire abilities with the color of the blood.

And all of this was rooted in Luo Kai’s understanding.

Blood is red?

What a coincidence, so is fire!

Abyssal pollution is terrifying?

Then evolve fire purification abilities!

…

Luo Kai sighed and said, “In any case, the situation inside is very severe, and I can’t solve it in the short term. Captain Zheng, you might need to have higher-level players gathered from above, or ready for public announcement.”

“Understood.”

Captain Zheng nodded heavily in agreement.

And after saying this, Luo Kai’s expression was noticeably more fatigued, as he rubbed his head and walked toward nearby residential buildings.

After taking two steps.

He suddenly turned and waved to Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo paused then followed.

Finding a random unoccupied house, Luo Kai went in and immediately collapsed onto a table with a sigh, his teenage messy curls looking limp.

Then he faced with a tender face aged wearily and said, “Given tonight’s situation, I find it hard to believe this world can last even a year; ironically, that Abyss Domain hasn’t even reached the stage to summon an Abyss Demon.”

If an Abyss Demon appeared.

Then it would be directly handed over to “Judgement” for handling.

Instead, it was stuck ambiguously in between.

Xu Shuo looked at him and asked, “What did you encounter after you went in?”

Luo Kai propped up his chin: “What else could I encounter, a huge, incredibly ugly monster that directly sucked me into its stomach.”

Speaking of this.

Luo Kai cast a meaningful glance at Xu Shuo.

“If it weren’t for your employee who sliced me out, I likely wouldn’t have come out this time; after all, just a short time had consumed ten years of life force, waiting any longer and I estimate I would have been completely drained.”

“Weren’t your Purification methods effective?” Xu Shuo asked indifferently.

“They were somewhat effective, but that Abyss Domain is indeed too vast, the entire Illusion Space was filled with darkness! Once I went in, it was all dark, with no openings to exert any force!”

“Wait, so you actually didn’t see the true form of that monster?”

“Huh?”

Luo Kai’s expression suddenly froze.

Xu Shuo thoughtfully tapped his chin: “I think that monster has a true form, it’s not just darkness as you say.”

Luo Kai stared at him: “You saw it?”

Xu Shuo nodded and shook his head: “I saw, but now I’ve forgotten, he said I wasn’t allowed to remember.”

That “he” was naturally a certain employee.

Hearing this, Luo Kai wasn’t surprised.

Because Xu Shuo had just been newly promoted to a level-three player, and no matter how exceptional his spiritual power, it wasn’t possible to resist the pollution of a level-four Abyss so quickly on the first encounter.

So sealing his memory was quite normal.

Luo Kai considered this and said, “If one could contact the core of the pollution source, perhaps I could try.”

Yet after saying this, his expression changed unpredictably.

Xu Shuo looked at him.

Coincidentally Luo Kai also looked up, meeting each other’s gazes; Xu Shuo maintained his poker face while the former had an inscrutable expression.

After a moment.

Luo Kai finally said looking at him: “But I don’t want to resolve it right now.”

After his words, Xu Shuo still showed no expression.

And Luo Kai had already averted his gaze.

Although Luo Kai had always been dedicated to protecting this world, after all, he was a high-level player who had been around in Script Space for a long time.

Players of this level tend to possess an almost incomprehensible, near-obsessive decisiveness in facing certain situations.

This world is still hesitating?

Then, just continue hesitating, huh.
