BXBX NOVEL Chapter 155: Cleaning the Faction! Dog-eat-dog!
Chapter 155: Cleaning the Faction! Dog-eat-dog!
A god-like suppression radiated from Link and spread through the laboratory. It made everyone’s hearts shrink with it.
But what was even more shocking was Luo Haoyue’s action! This clearly wasn’t some kind of attacking posture. Instead, she was expressing submission toward Link!
Why would Black Dragon Gang’s secret weapon switch sides at the last moment?
All of a sudden, the area fell dead silent!
Doctor Ghost and Jiang Cheng weren’t the only ones who remained rooted to the spot and had stiffening countenances. Their minds became slightly dazed.
Even Zhao Yongkang and the others had looks full of disbelief and horror!
This unexpected scene could be said to have taken everybody by surprise. It made them feel as if they’d been struck by lightning—their minds were buzzing!
The corners of Doctor Ghost’s eyes twitched. He almost blacked out and spurted out a mouthful of blood then and there.
What is going? Doctor Ghost was close to refusing to believe his eyes!
Doctor Ghost exasperatedly asked, “What are you doing? I am the Lord’s envoy! Without me, it would’ve been absolutely impossible for you to appear here!”
Doctor Ghost rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, revealing a pitch-black mark on his arm. It was a distorted spider shadow and a ring of characters; it radiated a dim glow.
This was his means of controlling Luo Haoyue.
The mark came from the previous sacrifice to the Spider God. It was one of the rewards he gained, and it contained wisps of the God of Evil’s aura.
Gods were existences on a completely different level from humans, so much so that humankind to gods were like what ants were to humans—extremely insignificant and of no concern.
Even if the God of Evil’s believers were nothing in ‘Their’ eyes, or perhaps just delicious food, there were rare cases where the heretical believers were able to please the gods and obtain rewards.
During the previous sacrifice, Black Dragon and Doctor Ghost—who were the leaders—had received rewards. In addition, they obtained a damaged spider egg.
The ‘Man-Made God’ project had been based on this. Hence, they had to find a suitable vessel for the spider egg that could not directly hatch.
When Doctor Ghost revealed the mark on his arm, some changes finally appeared in Luo Haoyue’s expression.
Her brows were slightly furrowed as if she were sensing something. Confusion seemed to flash through her beautiful eyes, but she still remained on one knee.
After all, the aura that radiated from Doctor Ghost’s mark couldn’t compare to Link at all.
Whether it was the [Talisman of Eternal Sleep] derived from the God of Evil’s spider silk or the god-like power and aura that Link presently radiated, both were of higher statuses than Doctor Ghost!
This was precisely the reason why Luo Haoyue took the initiative to submit.
“Get up; work for me henceforth,” commanded Link coolly.
Although the process was a little tortuous, and the outcome deviated slightly from expectations, he still took Luo Haoyue under his command.
Luo Haoyue’s current condition was rather special but what was certain was that Luo Haoyue had become even more powerful than before. She now had even greater potential for growth.
Link was filled with anticipation. When the Zerg invade, what kind of performance will she—who is now in this state—have?
“Yes,” Luo Haoyue responded readily. She then got up without hesitation and went to stand behind Link.
Seeing such a scene, Doctor Ghost was about to explode. His face became utterly distorted and hideous.
One must know that this was the ‘Man-Made God’ project that he and Black Dragon had spent extensively painstaking efforts to complete. Had they just toiled for the benefit of another?
Moreover, this was Link—the person he wished to pull out the tendons and tear his skin. How could Doctor Ghost take this lying down?
“This isn’t real!” Doctor Ghost snarled in his heart, and his eyes filled with a fierce glint. He was like a wild beast that had been driven into an impasse!
Even the aberrated weapon that he had put everything into had switched sides now!
Doctor Ghost’s mental state became extremely terrible; he was close to madness. As such, blisters also vaguely appeared all over his body. It seemed like he was about to start aberrating!
“As my creation, you actually dared to betray me!? Then, you shall go and die!” As his hysterical words fell, Doctor Ghost pressed down on a mechanical device on his wrist.
On Luo Haoyue’s slim neck, a piece of equipment—which resembled a neck strap—instantly emitted a series of destructive aura as if it were about to explode!
Clearly, Doctor Ghost had also left a countermeasure on her!
That neck strap was like a death-hastening talisman. It was precisely prepared for this moment. Once the terrifying energy contained within it blew up, it would be enough to destroy the entire underground base!
Even a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse might not necessarily survive!
“Go to hell! All of you, go to hell!” Doctor Ghost grinned hideously as he stared at Link and Luo Haoyue.
But before he could open the hidden secret door and evade this explosion, he saw a scene that made him dumbstruck.
Luo Haoyue wasn’t flustered in the slightest. She only reached out and pressed on the neck strap with an aloof look. Then, strange energy spread and enveloped the neck strap.
After that, she directly tugged off this neck strap and threw it to the ground.
A distorted spider shadow opened its big mouth and devoured the neck strap. Then, it directly merged with Luo Haoyue’s jet-black shadow.
Her shadow was like a passageway that led to an unknown destination. The spider shadow completely vanished.
And the neck strap—which was originally about to explode—didn’t even release the slightest sound!
Doctor Ghost was completely stunned. He had exhausted all his means, but he actually didn’t even hear a single sound now?
The continuous blows broke Doctor Ghost’s mind. The corners of his eyes twitched, and he remained dazed in the same spot. He was close to doubting life!
Right then, laughter that contained madness sounded in the area suddenly.
Jiang Cheng—who was beside Doctor Ghost—convulsed with laughter. A few teardrops were even squeezed out from the corners of his eyes.
He stretched out a hand to wipe the tears at the corners of his eyes and patted Doctor Ghost’s shoulders. “This is really a fine masterpiece... An interesting artwork.”
Doctor Ghost—who was originally exasperated—became dazed. His emotions were interrupted... He’d become rather incoherent.
Upon hearing these words that had inexplicable meaning and sounded like taunting, Doctor Ghost’s face alternated between shades of red and white. He could no longer care for the differences in their statuses and directly asked, “What do you mean?”
Jiang Cheng shot a glance at him.
Although he was smiling, the gaze set off chills in Doctor Ghost’s heart.
Plap!
Jiang Cheng ignored Doctor Ghost; he snapped his fingers instead. Shrugging, he spoke with a relaxed expression. “Apologies for that embarrassing scene. Then, I shall take care of this messy situation next and let this poor and comical performance come to an end.”
His lips then moved as if he were quietly chanting something.
Following the chanting, Jiang Cheng struck with violent force. A cold silver gleam flashed through the air, carrying piercing killing intent as it flew toward Jiang Cheng’s own throat!
This strike was beyond everybody’s expectations.
The blade gleam flashed across, but not the slightest wound and trace of blood appeared at Jiang Cheng’s neck. Instead, Doctor Ghost—who was beside him—suddenly let out an agonizing and stifled cry!
Doctor Ghost reached out, wanting to cover his neck, but crimson blood had already gushed out. Almost his entire neck was torn; only some skin and flesh remained attached!
With such an injury, even Doctor Ghost—who had received the God of Evil’s rewards and possessed a powerful healing ability—couldn’t handle it.
Watching this scene, Zhao Yongkang and the others all felt their scalps turn numb!
Jiang Cheng also smiled with pursed lips and looked toward Link and company. “Now that the trash has been cleared, it’s your turn next...”
