The Annihilation Opens the Battle
On the other side.
A little earlier, Li Wufang and Wu Cun wandering around the town for a while. This Believer of "Order" knew that splitting up to investigate in such a large area was the fastest way. But the problem was that his current goal was not just to investigate, but also to keep a close eye on Wu Cun and prevent this Believer of "Annihilation" from casually offering sacrifices to her Lord of Grace.
However, to Li Wufang's surprise, although Wu Cun filled with murderous intent along the way, she did not lose control. She seemed to channel all her destructive desires into her eyes, and at first glance, she looked like she was following a Folly Believer.
However, regardless of what kind of Believer is, as long as they are not harmful to the Trials, they are a good Believer.
In fact, Li Wufang was quite relaxed in this round. When he saw a Believer of "Truth" at the beginning of the Trials and saw the Blind Man present, he knew that this Trials should not be too difficult.
The Believer of [Truth] are the best at solving problems, and the Chosen of God of [Destiny] can see through Destiny. So as long as there are no human disasters in this game, he feels that he can even win a round.
The only player who could be the cause of the disaster was walking beside him with a cold expression, and didn't seem so difficult to talk to.
"Miss Wu, what did you find?"
Li Wufang was not an An Jing person. Although the Investigator of the Grand Inquisition were known for their seriousness, he was, after all, a player and always wanted to relax his tense nerves during the investigation.
However, Wu Cun was not a friendly person to chat with. He asked the question many times, but the response he received was either a cold snort or a cold look.
This was the umpteenth time Li Wufang had asked this question, and this time, the Believer of [Annihilation] finally refrained from further "passive aggression," instead responding with sarcasm:
"I hate noise, and my only thought is to Annihilation the sounds that shouldn't exist."
Li Wufang was taken aback, then forced an awkward smile:
"Then I advise you to think it over again. After all, although this method is an offering to [Annihilation], it also has the suspicion of offering to [Silence]. Miss Wu, you don't mean to merge with [Silence], do you?"
Wu Cun frowned in disgust. "[Silence] will not merge, that's common knowledge. You seem to be chatting casually, but every word you say is a test of me. What, are you that interested in me?"
As he spoke, Wu Cun stopped, turned around and glanced at Li Wufang's face, then his gaze traveled downwards, landing on Li Wufang's crotch with a half-smile.
That glance startled the Investigator, who immediately fell silent.
"Alright Li Wufang, stop pretending. You are a Hunter, and a Hunter of [Order]. One of the talents He bestowed upon you is the ability to recognize and judge people. You've been with me for so long, you should know that I can control myself."
So let's speed things up. I know what you're thinking, and I know you'd rather just coast through this round.
But I don't want to be just a bad student listening to lectures when I go back to the assembly point, and I don't want to endure the eye-rolling and ridicule from that idiot "Truth".
"With only one hour left, let's split up and investigate to increase efficiency. At your speed, as long as you're not far from me, even if I lose control, it shouldn't cause too much of a consequence, right?" Wu Cun sneered twice, his tone carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Li Wufang awkwardly scratched his head again. He had indeed seen Wu Cun's "stability," but to be on the safe side, he did not agree immediately.
"Am I disliked by beautiful women?"
"Should I say yes or no? I hate hypocritical people. If you really want something to happen between us, I might think more highly of you. But you're so timid and hesitant, just like your boring master. What good is a mouth?"
A trial isn't just about having a mouth; you also need to have a strong fist.
That's settled then. You go left, I'll go right. Don't follow me; my patience is limited too.
As she spoke, Wu Cun walked towards the fork in the road on the right without looking back. It wasn't to shake off Li Wufang's surveillance, but as she said, she really wanted to improve her exploration efficiency so that she could find some useful information and avoid being looked at sideways by others.
The reputation of the Annihilation Believer during the Trials has never been good, and this negative feedback has in turn amplified their irritability. This vicious cycle continues, making it increasingly difficult for each Annihilation Believer to control their destructive urges.
They constantly struggle against the rage within them that wants to Annihilation everything; excessive oppression only makes this rage harder to control.
Li Wufang understood the principle that too much of a good thing is bad, so at this moment he frowned, watched the other person turn the corner, and did not follow.
The talent of "Order" did indeed allow him to see Wu Cun clearly. Wu Cun was obviously a "quite ambitious" high-scoring player. People like him usually knew how to be considerate and cultivated good relationships, so if they were only separated for an hour, it shouldn't cause any trouble...
Just as he was thinking this, the alarm clock on Li Wufang's wrist went off, and it was exactly 11:00. There was only one hour left before the meeting time he had set.
"It's time to speed things up. Even if we're just trying to get by, we should at least help these guys eliminate some of the wrong options."
He chuckled and prepared to leave, but before he could turn around, just as he lifted his heel, an unexpected turn of events struck. In the instant he looked up after checking the time, a large section of the street in front of him vanished into thin air!
The power of Annihilation erupted not far away, erasing all the space at human height. Houses lost their walls, leaving only roofs; tall trees lost their trunks, leaving only green canopies; giant rocky hills crumbled; and all life and vegetation vanished in an instant!
Li Wufang suddenly looked up and saw a blank space suddenly appear in front of him. In the center of that blank space, which was of unknown Square and Round, there was a cold-faced beauty in a white robe, looking at him with a mocking and impatient expression.
She was looking at him too.
But their eye contact didn't last a second, because the next second, the unsupported ruins crashed down with a loud "boom," kicking up waves of dust and shaking the ground of the town.
Li Wufang's eyelids twitched, and his face instantly turned pitch black.
He felt like he had been played, no, he had been provoked!
Wu Cun had actually fooled his observation, and then, at such close range, he used an extreme Annihilation to recklessly pluck at his nerves.
Okay, okay!
What a Believer in Annihilation!
Li Wufang sneered, not getting angry or embarrassed, but instead quickly drew his longbow out of thin air and fired several arrows in quick succession, sending one Arrows of Punishment after another into the swirling dust.
At the same time, he leaped into the air and ran quickly along the rooftops of the buildings that had not yet been affected, "promulgating" special laws unique to this neighborhood as he moved.
"Teleportation is prohibited here."
Jumping is prohibited in this area.
Running is prohibited here.
Communication between living beings is strictly prohibited here!
