The Clapperboard Snaps Shut-Guess Who's Getting Hit
Without a doubt, "Loquat Candy," as a "Doctor," has always concealed its True Strength.
Judging from the fact that he almost instantly killed "Ren Gu" in one move, he does indeed possess sufficiently powerful offensive capabilities.
But even so...
Fu Luo remains confident that Loquat Candy has now reached a point of no return, a "Desperate Plight."
Because...
This was, after all, a scheme personally orchestrated by Lin Yu.
Although Fu Luo didn't know what Lin Yu had arranged, but...
"Old Lin has been tinkering and preparing for so long... what kind of trouble could he possibly cause for this 'Doctor'?"
However, although Fu Luo was very confident.
But the Loquat Candy sellers seemed equally relaxed.
He ignored Fu Luo's provocation and threats, and continued speaking to himself.
"Are you going to kill me here...? But 'Director,' your behavior isn't much different from mine."
Lin Yu's voice rang out. "Aren't you going to say something like 'I also kill people, so I have no right to criticize you' or something like that?"
Loquat Candy said, "Of course not. This isn't some philosophical film made by Christians, teaching people 'forgiveness' and 'letting go of hatred' or anything like that... If you kill me, it's perfectly justified, and it's completely different from me killing Fu Luo or watching Gao Shan die—specific problems should always be analyzed specifically, and oversimplifying complex issues isn't a good habit."
I was referring to... "Ren Gu."
Loquat Candy looked at the slightly dried-up, lifeless Ren Gu at her feet and whispered, "From the moment you started, you didn't do anything to rescue him... You just watched him die."
"Director... you're not exactly the type to care about 'innocent' people."
Loquat Candy spoke, Fu Luo sneered.
"You can morally blackmail someone you killed? That's truly eye-opening."
Loquat Candy shook her head. "I'm just stating the facts..."
"But I'm not here to argue with you about who's right and who's evil, Loquat Candy. I'm here today simply for 'Revenge.'"
Lin Yu's voice rang out.
Loquat Candy laughed, "Yes, I realized that too... but it's still not an easy thing."
"I don't think you can't take me down like 'Sherlock' said, but I also don't think... I'm definitely going to die here."
"You are certainly not an ordinary 'Tier 2', plus the 'Schreiber' who will help you, and perhaps some guy from the City That Never Sleeps —but even all of these combined, you might not be my match."
Lin Yu said in a low voice, "Really? What's the source of your confidence? Are you also a 'Tier 4'?"
"No, not at all..." "The 'Heart Domain' is an ability that is extremely rare and hard to come by, and in order to survive, I have almost lost the ability to activate it," Heart Domain Loquat Candy sighed. "But... 'Director,' I have a much deeper foundation than any 'Player' you have ever met, even the current 'Tier 4'."
"You've probably guessed it, I'm also a 'Player' who survived the Previous Version... But what you might not know is... I joined the 'Death game' at the very beginning of the Previous Version, survived all the way to the end, and Player and luckily survived the Final Trial."
"And... like the 'General,' I also retained my 'Player' identity."
As she spoke, Loquat Candy gently raised her hand.
One by one, the same [Item] appeared in his hands: a scalpel, an ancient book, a smooth bone fragment, a jade gourd, a six-pointed star pendant, golden scales...
Those [Item] whose origins were unknown, but whose existence could be discerned from the energy they contained, appeared. Some were tucked between Loquat Candy fingers, some hung on his arm, and some were already worn on his body.
Some of these [Item] even contain the aura of... "Authority".
"Since the Previous Version, I've been a well-known 'Doctor,' and you know... healing the sick and saving lives, and doing good deeds always brings a lot of benefits—whether it's those guys in the Ten Realms or 'Player,' they always give me generous rewards after I save their lives."
"On the Rankings that 'Hacker' guy compiled, there are ten 'Tier 3' players ahead of the 'Tycoon' who's at 'Tier 4'. They're called super 'Tier 3'... But I don't think they're actually my match."
"If I were willing to let 'Hacker' assess my True Strength, the 'Tier 4' ranks behind me would definitely include more than just 'The Tycoon'."
The Loquat Candy, which had transformed into a kind of [Item] display stand, pointed the tip of the scalpel in its hand at Fu Luo.
"I know what you're waiting for," the Director. "... Whether you're chatting with me here or bringing up 'Sherlock,' you're waiting for your helper."
"The 'Tier 4' Conception... that's your biggest trump card, isn't it?"
Lin Yu's voice rang out. "What, you think you can surpass Conception?"
"It's not necessarily impossible. After all, you haven't known him for very long, and given his impulsive nature, he's unlikely to really go all out and fight me to the death," Loquat Candy paused for a moment. "Of course, if we really fought him, there would definitely be risks... so I have a safer method."
"Director, do you think I wouldn't be wary of that almost obvious 'Conception'?"
"If you had ambushed him here, it might have been a bit more troublesome for me... but you actually let him arrive late," Loquat Candy sighed. "I've told you, I have deep reserves... Do you think I have no allies in the City That Never Sleeps?"
Lin Yu's voice rang out. "Sheng Lanzhi, I know this one... you saved his life."
"But there's no other way, after all, the 'Conception' still needs to help me obtain the relevant information about 'Authority'... The place where the 'Creator' stores the information is indeed somewhat dangerous, which has delayed me quite a bit."
"But it's alright... You want Sheng Lanzhi to stop 'The Conception'? The task I gave 'The Conception' was simply to have him hold Sheng Lanzhi back."
"Our relationship isn't close enough for him to risk his life for me, but he wouldn't refuse a 'spectacular, evenly matched battle showcasing his charisma.'"
Lin Yu paused for a moment at this point.
"Also, Loquat Candy, I'm not actually here either."
"Your opponent won't even be me—I'm waiting for someone else."
Loquat Candy frowned. "What, 'Schreiber'?"
"No, it's another guy who wants revenge for 'Sherlock'."
As Lin Yu's voice fell, a crisp "click" sound rang out.
The Loquat Candy paused for a moment, then realized...
That was the sound of the Clapperboard closing and the "[Guest Appearance Invitation]" being activated.
The next moment, a light and slightly unexpected voice rang out.
"Huh... can this really summon me?"
