Chapter 103: Close Combat (3)

Actually, it is not a pleasant thing to watch someone crumble, at least not for me.

What is there to admire about despair? Because I remember what my master said, so no matter how complicated the situation is, the man in front of me, who is wearing a white robe, is never a god, but only a man.

Therefore, his collapse and despair are just the same as those of an ordinary person, and there is no difference.

I don’t know why I sighed so, always feeling that it was a bit cruel to suddenly walk up to him like that.

“Is this how you want to defeat me?” The god was unwilling, but his body was not under control. Lin Jianguo’s appearance made his face contort. His body clearly wanted to stand up, but he trembled and suppressed himself not to stand up.

I think it was Lin Furui who wanted to stand up.

I looked at him for a moment. There are only two hours in a day in a year, and for him and for me, too.

Because for those two hours, Lin Furui would appear, and the words Lin Xiaohua had said to me were still ringing in my ears.

“Actually, life here is very boring. Every sacrifice is the most fun thing.” When she said this, Lin Xiaohua was sitting on a thick branch, her two white feet dangling in the air. She seemed to like blowing bubbles with her spit, making her speech seem very casual.

“Why is sacrifice fun? It’s the lives of those people. Are you that cruel?” I was dazzled by her feet, and I didn’t think she was discussing any grand plans with me. At the same time, I felt that this woman was really cruel, liked sacrifice, but somehow I couldn’t hate her.

“It’s not the people I care about, you know? When a person can’t do anything about a matter for a long time, they naturally become numb and will divert their attention. You can think of it as my weakness.” Lin Xiaohua dragged her chin and looked slightly pensive. It took her a long time to tell me, “Actually, the reason I like to sacrifice is because I’ve been lonely here for so long, and sometimes sacrifices bring more than just people. There are also a lot of fun things, like books or something. I love reading the most.”

“The point.” I rubbed my temples. Is the so-called grand plan to discuss these things?

“The point is that I once saw a book that can explain the situation of the owner here. Do you want to listen? This is a big plan.” Lin Xiaohua’s voice was like whispering.

This made me helpless, but I could only nod. This woman seemed to have been unable to live an ordinary life. She lived to express a kind of charm, although I think that when discussing a grand plan, you shouldn’t use such a tone of voice and gestures.

“What about that book? It’s a psychology book about multiple personalities. Multiple personalities are so interesting. It’s like one personality is a powerful murderer, while another is a weak, shy, kind, introverted loser… Just like the owner here, he’s very powerful, right? But just think of him as a multiple personality patient. When his weak personality appears, you can bully him mercilessly.” Lin Xiaohua said this with a sidelong glance at me, seemingly unintentionally, but my heart skipped a beat.

“What are you daydreaming about? Don’t you understand? If you don’t understand, I’ll tell you this: He has a strong desire to control, including himself. Yes, you can understand that he also wants to control his multiple personalities. He really does that, but some things are like the rules of heaven and earth that you Taoist priests talk about. You can avoid them infinitely, but you still have to live under these rules. Even the host here can’t completely control it. Every year, there are two hours when he’s not himself, or, to be completely honest, when he’s weak. Does that make you understand better?” Lin Xiaohua was rarely serious.

“But those two hours of his time are taboo, right? How could I possibly meet him?” I frowned.

“Of course you can meet him, because those two hours are also an opportunity for him, an opportunity to separate himself.” Lin Xiaohua’s eyes were sad at the moment, but I inexplicably got goosebumps, because it looked like a crocodile that was swallowing something, but it was crying.

My thoughts were pulled back from this chaos, but I completely ignored God’s gaze.

I picked up the pen that God had thrown on the ground, and I heard God’s crazy cry of “no,” but my eyes fell on the platform. I felt that I really couldn’t see a person’s collapse, just as the eyes of a dead person at the moment of death could not look at him.

The platform was in a complete mess, and Lin Xiaohua was walking in the middle of it. She had her arms folded, looking left and right, with a smile on her face, like a bystander watching an interesting movie.

Walking next to her was Lin Jianguo. At the moment, Lin Jianguo’s expression was complicated, but any complexity was outweighed by the kind of urgency on his face, the kind of urgency that comes from wanting to see his son.

Next to them was a group of black-robed men, two of whom had been ordered by God to watch Lin Xiaohua… At this moment, these men had become Lin Xiaohua’s most loyal henchmen.

Yes, this woman, Lin Xiaohua, has countless hidden cards. She has always looked at everything calmly, arranged everything, and always revealed her trump card to defeat her opponent at the most critical moment. What kind of evil taste is this?

“Give it to me!” As I looked at everything on the platform, I was a little stunned when God suddenly pounced on me.

His movements were awkward, his body completely out of control, his gaze clearly resting on Lin Jianguo on the platform, but it was as if he had exhausted all his strength trying to snatch the pen from my hand.

I was shocked because I didn’t know that Lin Xiaohua could still control these undead, but that doesn’t mean that a god in such a disheveled state is a threat to me. I didn’t want to push him away, so I just lightly dodged to the side, avoiding his attempt to snatch the pen from my hand.

With a loud thud, the god fell to the ground.

But he was still extremely unwilling to accept defeat. His eyes revealed the utmost anger, and he said to me with clenched teeth, “You can’t kill me, you can’t kill me! You have ten minutes at most, and you will die a horrible death… but I still have a chance, I still have a chance…”

While saying this, he couldn’t help but cry out in a trembling voice: “Dad… Xiaohua…”

That voice was not at all God’s, but clearly still had a childish and weak tone. Was this voice really Lin Furui’s?

At the same time, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed on the edge of the altar, and then Lin Jianguo appeared on the altar almost tumbling over himself… and immediately helped the god, who looked so disheveled on the ground, to his feet.

“Dad, Dad…” The god grabbed Lin Jianguo’s clothes, his expression so painful, as if he didn’t want to get close to this man at all, but he couldn’t help it. The look in his eyes was clearly anger and hatred towards me, but it was also a kind of crazy release of longing.

I don’t know if I’m wrong, but Lin Xiaohua was standing aside, leaning against the low wall of the altar, clearly not wanting to care, but two lines of tears were actually dripping down her face.

“Xiaohua… I miss you.” It was still the god who said this, no, it should be Lin Furui at this moment.

Lin Xiaohua looked up at the sky, reached out and wiped away the two tears on her face.

The god’s body trembled even more violently, but Lin Jianguo held him tightly in his arms. Lin Jianguo looked at me gratefully, but I didn’t know what he was grateful for. But there was no time to delay anymore. I whispered, “There’s not much time left. Take him down first. I don’t know if I can finish this last stroke. Take him down. It’s a little bit of time to buy.

Lin Xiaohua was obviously much calmer than Lin Jianguo. After she heard what I said, she immediately walked over, helped Lin Jianguo up, and at the same time, she was also pulling the god who was trembling all over and looking at me angrily, almost ready to bite his teeth.

But she couldn’t pull him down, so she called over a black-robed man, who dragged the god down almost by force.

“No, no, never…” The god began to scream wildly, and at the same time, he began to lean weakly on Lin Jianguo, crying out “Dad” with tears.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes for a moment, and then opened them again. Without hesitation, I used my own special power to slam my chest, and then began to pat my chest in a special way.

This trick was taught to me by Lin Xiaohua… to use this most special method to extract the essence of the heart!

‘Pop’ a mouthful of blood spurted out, bright red, with a faint fluorescent color… my heart suddenly ached inexplicably.

But, Master, I’m almost there, right?

I held the brush that depicted the pattern firmly in my hand, and this was already the key to the key.

“Hey, you idiot, do you know why nine is the ultimate number? Do you Taoists have another saying? I seem to have heard one before.” That night, Lin Xiaohua was drinking immortals’ wine and said to me seemingly casually.

“There is one saying, that ten is the ultimate. Do you understand? Ten is perfect, but perfection is hated by the heavens. Everything must have a gap, and it cannot be taken to the extreme… unless one has the ultimate fortune and heart to bear such an extreme. In that case, nine is already the top.

“Then what do you think would happen if you added another line to the nine lines of the Emperor’s Array?”

Right, what would be the result?
