114: immoral people
Li Wen, who had just finished his tasks, finally got a chance to catch his breath and rest.
However, just as he was starting to relax, a thrilling spectacle officially began.
A sinister and aged voice suddenly rang out.
“Everyone listen up! This vehicle has been hijacked by me! Every corner of this vehicle is meticulously rigged with bombs, so if you don’t want to be blown to smithereens, then stay put and don’t move.”
The voice continued, “My target is very clear: just one high school student. The rest of you had best not meddle, or you’ll face the consequences.”
Immediately after, the mysterious person’s words came again: “Li Wen, if you show yourself right now, I might be merciful and let everyone on this vehicle live.”
After speaking, he even let out a cry in that ancient, incredibly aged voice, “Long live the beast god!”
This was the symbol of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect; he must have felt that things were under his control, so he simply stopped pretending.
Hearing this, Li Wen couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Alright, so this guy was after me all along. I actually thought I had stumbled upon a carjacking.”
“He even managed to take over the broadcast room, but it seems he’s getting a bit carried away, because everything he was relying on has already been dealt with by ‘your Brother Li’!”
As the renowned and formidable “Godfather of the Cautious School,” Li Wen naturally wouldn't rashly put himself in danger from the start. After careful consideration, he decided to have the resourceful and skilled Qing Yan create a deliberately imperfect [Insect Silk Clone] to take his place and confront that troublesome old man.
Then, a soft cry was heard.
“Stop, I’m right here.”
Before he finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged. Upon closer inspection, it was “Li Wen” himself!
He stood calmly before the mysterious figure from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, with Ya Bao and Qing Yan closely beside him.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect member scrutinized the “Li Wen” before him, a slight smirk on his lips, and said with a hint of mockery.
“Indeed, a true genius of noble lineage! In such a critical situation, he still dares to fearlessly appear before me.”
Comparatively, although this person wore a mask, his unique voice remained unchanged—still that jarring, duck-like croak that Li Wen found so irritating.
Immediately after, he warned menacingly.
“Hmph, I advise you not to even think about struggling or resisting, otherwise the lives of everyone on this vehicle will be entirely in my hands! If anything unexpected happens then, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
With that, his cold gaze swept over the people on the vehicle, a cunning glint in his eyes.
Finally, this person, as if in some kind of frenzy, continued to speak incessantly.
“And also, you don’t need to blame me. This is all the will of the beast god, it wants to summon you, this favored child of heaven! You should feel extremely honored to receive the beast god’s favor!”
As he spoke, his eyes revealed an almost insane fanaticism, looking exactly like those ignorant old people brainwashed by pyramid schemes, which made people shiver.
Li Wen ignored him, instead showing an evil smile and saying.
“From the very beginning, you’ve been talking to yourself. Is it possible that I don’t care about the people on this vehicle at all, and I’m just here to retaliate against you?”
Hearing Li Wen’s words, everyone was dumbfounded.
Ten Thousand Beasts Sect member: Although I considered this possibility, it’s a bit much for you to just say it out loud so directly, isn’t it?
“Uh… these are real lives! How about you reconsider more carefully?”
As soon as these words came out, the culprit was stunned on the spot; he probably never expected anyone to say such a thing.
And this series of actions completely bewildered the culprit.
The culprit stared at Li Wen with a look of astonishment, as if he didn’t know how to respond to such a situation for a moment.
At this moment, Li Wen slowly said, “Why don’t you try to activate it and see? Do you think I would care about these things?”
With that, Li Wen showed a half-smile on his face, his gaze fixed directly on the culprit before him.
After hearing Li Wen’s words, the culprit hadn’t even had time to react, but the surrounding passengers had already erupted.
“You ***! I’ll just *** you ***!” All sorts of curses rose and fell, ceaselessly.
However, since these people didn't really understand Minnanese, if it were authentic Minnanese expletives, then no matter how vulgar, they would probably pass censorship smoothly.
(Sorry, Minnanese can do whatever it wants!)
Just as everyone was in an uproar, a burly man stepped forward from the side.
This big brother seemed full of righteousness, and feeling that he occupied the moral high ground, he earnestly tried to persuade Li Wen to change his mind.
“Young man, the safety of one person, or a whole vehicle of people—you really need to think it through carefully!”
Li Wen didn’t indulge him: “So, because that one person isn’t you, you can stand there and talk without feeling the pain.”
“You want to morally blackmail me? Sorry, all I can say is…”
“Excuse me~ I have no morals~”
As soon as these words were uttered, the big brother immediately dropped his pretense of righteousness and joined the cursing.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect member saw that these people seemed to not take him seriously at all, and immediately felt that the beast god, who was sacred in his heart, had been insulted.
“Stop arguing, none of you will live.”
He frantically activated the switch in his hand, and then, amidst the passengers’ panic, nothing happened.
Seeing Li Wen’s expression, he instantly understood what had happened.
“Don’t celebrate too soon, I still have a trump card.”
“Come out, Bloodthirsty Wolf.”
[Bloodthirsty Wolf]
[attribute: Blood/Fire]
[Species: Elite Intermediate]
[growth level: Commander Advanced]
[Energy Value: 83680]
[trait: Bloodfire Fusion]:
In battle, the Bloodthirsty Wolf can activate the power of its bloodline, merging with fire elements to imbue its attacks with a burning effect. At the same time, the intense heat of the flames can also stimulate the berserk power within its bloodline. The two complement each other, multiplying its power.
[Skill ①: Bloodflame Surge]
The Bloodthirsty Wolf can summon a surge of scorching bloodflame that continuously rushes around its body, not only increasing its own speed and strength but also dealing continuous fire damage to surrounding enemies, making it a powerful asset for charging into battle… Seeing such a panel, Li Wen couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. It was another attribute he had never seen before, Commander Advanced, with decent strength, but how could it be a match for Ya Bao?
Under the combined efforts of Ya Bao and Qing Yan, it was instantly subdued, and the old man was tied up as well.
Subsequently, Li Wen’s main body also appeared and began to stretch his limbs, walking step by step towards the opponent.
Seeing Li Wen approach, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect member finally began to panic.
“Don’t come any closer, I’m an elderly person, you should respect the old and cherish the young!”
“Sigh~ How many times have I said it? I have no morals.”
“Old geezer, showing off? I’ll make you fly~~~!”
