Chapter 429: 198: Rule Kill
Can you bring me along?
This question was straightforward, but the amount of information it conveyed was entirely different for both parties.
Wu Xin didn't understand the reason behind it, unaware of Jiang Xianwu's past, only knowing that this person was a powerhouse who leveled up very quickly.
But after Zhou Baiyu had increased Midel's weight on the future, causing the outcome of the first Advanced Trial to change from SS to SSS level...
The surveillance data had vanished.
Therefore, the legends about Jiang Xianwu, the tales of the legendary pioneer's first conscription... had truly become just legends.
As one of those who spied on Jiang Xianwu, the snow demon had observed the entire process, but there were certain indescribable scenarios that even the snow demon dared not witness.
As for the other spies, what they observed was the conversation between Zhou Baiyu and Midel.
The parts that were not suitable for children had not been observed. To completely spy on the seven-day conscription process required a massive expenditure of Pioneer Points.
The snow demon was unique, sharing a redemptive relationship with Zhou Baiyu, but for this reason, the snow demon had paid a price as valuable as a city for this privilege.
At the same time, Pioneer Points for pioneers came at the cost of their lives; no pioneer would use their points to watch meaningless content.
But in the end—
Many spies had come to know one thing: the golden fairy Jiang Xianwu, with the capability that Lao Ai had while alive, returned alive from the Hanging Corpse Hospital.
Most people only remembered the succubus' silver hair, forgetting what succubi originally looked like, after all, too much time had passed.
However, Ling Hansu remembered.
The words of the snow demon, let Guang Tongchen confirm that this was the domineering succubus that had subdued Zhou Baiyu.
He had believed that once the succubus left the Hanging Corpse Hospital, it would forget Baiyu.
But unexpectedly—
The succubus actually still remembered Baiyu?
It was at this time Midel explained:
"If you truly are a friend of Jiang Xianwu, please take me to find Jiang Xianwu. Please do not mind my identity as a succubus. Although we are not of the same clan, my relationship with Jiang Xianwu is also quite extraordinary."
"How do we believe you?" Wu Xin said.
"Hah, Jiang Xianwu effortlessly defeated so many demons in the Demon Clan Arena. Do you really think I could harm him?"
Midel, after all, was a succubus, an entity as wise as any human. She easily managed to persuade Wu Xin:
"You are stronger than me, and Jiang Xianwu is also stronger than me. I can do him no harm, and he will be very happy to see me. If he is not happy, then you can just kill me."
Succubi can charm humans, but everything has a level.
Midel might easily charm Wu Xin and the snow demon, but she would definitely not be able to easily charm Guang Tongchen.
Therefore, she did not choose to use the methods of a succubus but opted for sincerity instead.
Wu Xin said:
"Why not forget it? Chairman Guang, although the succubus is no match for us, bringing it to meet Jiang Xianwu might cause trouble."
Wu Xin was truly saving Jiang Xianwu.
He could see that the root of the disaster foretold by the Peach Blossom Calamity lay with the succubus.
As long as they prevented the succubus from meeting Jiang Xianwu, Jiang Xianwu's crisis would not descend.
Guang Tongchen actually felt— it would be best not to trust the Demon Clan.
Even if both he and the snow demon knew that Midel, the enchanting succubus at hand, might truly have a special relationship with Jiang Xianwu.
Midel, having sensed that Wu Xin's words were not in her favor, was clever enough to promptly catch the key word—Guang.
"You are Guang Tongchen?"
"You shouldn't know me," Guang Tongchen frowned.
At that moment, Midel seemed to be possessed by Jiang Xianwu:
"What, the pioneers are allowed to travel through time and space, but our Demon Clan is not allowed to follow suit?"
"I come from a future, a far distant future. Don't you want to know what happened in the future? Don't you want to know about you and your Baichuan Refuge, and the great deeds you performed?"
She provided the perfect remedy. Speaking to a man in his own language and to a ghost in its own. She created a demand out of none.
Jiang Xianwu's tactics were quickly picked up by Midel.
Upon hearing the future, himself, Baichuan Refuge, great deeds...
Who could resist that?
Without using even a bit of charm, Midel had Guang Tongchen completely in her grasp.
"Deal." Guang Tongchen decided to take Midel with them.
Wu Xin sighed, but then he became resigned—
Fate is inescapable.
"Which way should we go? South?"
"Yes, south."
At that moment, an hour had just passed since Guang Tongchen and the others arrived at the island.
Right at that moment, Guang Tongchen, the snow demon, the noble succubus Midel, Wu Xin, and Midel's two attendants—all froze for half a second.
[The Rule Phase has begun, discover the rules on your own. Ensure that during the Rule Phase, at least one member of your team participates in a kill or gets killed. If no member of your team has completed a kill during the Rule Phase, they will be eradicated at the end of the phase.
Note: There will be no harm between team members. Please observe your team members closely and ensure your team members observe you with the same scrutiny.]
"Rules? What rules..." The snow demon revealed an untouched, clear look of ignorance.
"Did you all hear that too?" Wu Xin looked towards the snow demon and Guang Tongchen.
Guang Tongchen nodded:
"It seems everyone received it. What about you?"
Guang Tongchen looked at Midel.
Midel furrowed her brows:
"Figure out the rules on our own? Do you have any clue?"
"Not a clue."
"This is something Jiang Xianwu is good at, let's stick with the original plan and find Jiang Xianwu first."
