Chapter 649 Qin Shusheng's Expectations
Chapter 649 Qin Shusheng's Expectations
The crying-faced weirdo... no, to be precise, from the moment he gave his name.
New information appeared in Wu Wang's [Vision of Truth]—
[A Distorted and Painful Perception]
It seems that the names of the Venerable One's descendants also have some kind of influence, and cannot even be clearly observed when they are not known.
The dark metallic armor on the opponent's body slowly softened and transformed back into a cloth-like cloak.
Without looking back, he stepped into the spatial rift, and even the severed arm under Qin Shusheng's feet disappeared.
This scene allowed Wu Wang to breathe a sigh of relief.
It's alright. Although it wasn't Azure Dragon who intimidated the other party, Qin Shusheng still achieved the same conditions.
Anyway, as long as he wasn't killed, this guy would definitely be extremely frustrated.
"Here, these are your things, aren't they?"
"You must keep a close eye on your things; you can't let anyone with ulterior motives steal them."
After seeing Xiao Shi leave, Qin Shusheng casually tossed a black thread from under his white fan.
The moment the thread touched the ground, it immediately disappeared into Wu Wang's shadow.
They filled in the gaps at the edges of his shadow that were impossible to see with the naked eye.
Clearly, this is the shadow that Wu Wang was caught by the deception.
Wu Wang accepted this without any psychological burden and said what Qin Shusheng had always wanted to hear.
"Okay, you win this time."
"What's the score now?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shusheng removed his mask and tucked it into his robes, replying with a smile, "You don't remember? Then consider this another victory for me."
Suddenly, Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and shook his head, saying, "No, I actually discovered you were the spokesperson for [Nothingness] even before that guy."
Seeing Qin Shusheng's stunned expression, he added a reminder: "You also need to remember to hide your things well, such as the paper figures you use in Wanbaolou."
Qin Shusheng naturally knew what Wu Wang was talking about; it was the Void Devouring Paper Doll that he had used to spy on the other party's transaction with Wan Shitong.
Could it be that this guy actually noticed the problem back then?
His expression became even more curious.
The thousands of paper cranes in the air scattered like real birds, and Qin Shusheng's figure appeared in front of Wu Wang in an instant.
He circled around the creature, observing it as if it were some rare animal, while his white fan whirred loudly as he waved it.
"Interesting... How did you find out?"
"I'm also very curious about your relationship with the know-it-all."
After piquing the guy's curiosity, Wu Wang just grinned and said slyly, "Sir, that's a different price. If you keep slapping me, I'll catch a cold."
After saying that, the two looked at each other.
He let out a hearty laugh at the same time.
They knew, of course, that the other had many secrets, but they also knew that neither of them was the type to pry into every little detail.
Some things, you'll know when the time is right.
It's best not to force things when you don't know the answer; it's better for the friendship between you.
"Alright, alright, then we're even." Qin Shusheng's tone changed, and he asked curiously, "Speaking of which, your ability to cause trouble has improved quite a bit. Even the Venerable's offspring were so angered by you that they came to block the door in the real world?"
He knew all too well how much Yan Shuangying deserved to be beaten up.
It wouldn't be surprising if the other party caused big trouble at any time.
I just didn't expect that such an exaggerated commotion would happen after only a few days.
Wu Wang pursed his lips and said, "It's nothing. This isn't the first time this guy has caused me trouble. I can handle it myself."
This made Qin Shusheng's expression quite strange, or rather, he was so angry that he laughed.
"You're going to handle it? You've already mentioned my name, so next time they'll come to me anyway. What the hell are you going to handle?!"
"How about you play against him next time?"
"I can find some acquaintances to run a betting pool and see how long it will take for him to beat you to death."
For a moment, Wu Wang's face showed a look of confusion and bewilderment. He blinked innocently and said, "I don't understand what you're saying~"
Fortunately, Qin Shusheng didn't dwell on it too much.
For him, the entanglement of a Venerable's offspring was not an unsolvable problem. In fact, if the other party discovered in the process that he was actually Qin Shusheng, he probably wouldn't come forward to cause trouble at all, but would choose to disappear silently and continue searching for Yan Shuangying.
"By the way, what brings you here? And where did all the people who came out before me go?"
Now that Qin Shusheng is here and has confronted Xiaoshi, there's no need to worry about the safety of the other players and Second Sister.
Wu Wang was even more curious about how the other party had happened to be there.
As expected, upon hearing this question, Qin Shusheng shrugged and said, "They have all been placed in nearby military camps. As for the other shore flower that you are relatively close to, it seems she ran towards the city."
"There are two powerful creatures in the city that are clearly not players. They must be your helpers in fighting the dungeon invasion in Mingyang City, right?"
Qin Shusheng first demonstrated how well-informed he was.
He then said some strange things.
"As for why I am here, it is because I received news that the border troops reported to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs that they have received the comrades they sent to handle special cases."
"But the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs had just selected the people who were going to come here to handle the case, so they immediately realized that someone was faking their identity."
"Please, at this point in time, after the public beta, everyone in the bureau is busy managing social order. If an event like this, which could easily cause a crisis of public trust, occurs, the impact will probably be more than just on one instance. The local branch naturally takes it seriously and has directly uploaded the information to headquarters."
"I checked the image, and lo and behold, it was you."
"You rushed over without stopping and bumped into the Venerable One's offspring warming up. You've got quite the clout, haven't you?"
At first glance, this statement seems to make no problem.
But Wu Wang immediately grasped the key point.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "How did you know that the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs uploaded information from headquarters? Hacking into the headquarters system is a bit much, even if you and Qinglong are good friends."
Upon hearing Wu Wang's words, Qin Shusheng rolled his eyes.
He hit him hard on the head with the fan in his hand.
He said irritably, "Nonsense! Do you need to tell me this?"
"Unfortunately, you still underestimate the current situation."
“Yan Shuangying, I am not only talking to you as the manager of the Mainland Hotel, but also as the acting director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.”
Acting Director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs!?
Holy crap! Bro, you took down Qinglong?
Of course, this absurd idea only flashed through Wu Wang's mind.
The next second, he realized that the other party's relationship with Qinglong and even the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs might be more unusual than he had imagined.
"Alright, you don't need to guess my relationship with Qinglong anymore, that's a separate matter."
"Besides, this acting director doesn't really have much to do. At most, he's just sitting in the office drinking Erguotou in place of Qinglong. Each department of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs has its own way of operating, and it won't be unable to function without someone. Didn't Qinglong stay away from the real world for a long time before? It doesn't matter whether this director is here or not."
Qin Shusheng immediately put his knowledge to use and returned the words Wu Wang had used to shut him up.
His expression then became slightly more serious, and he spoke more slowly, as if afraid that Wu Wang would miss what he was about to say.
"The problem now is that the Venerable One has appeared."
"The Desire Sea Spirit Lord recently arrived at the boundary between the instance and reality, which is the place where Azure Dragon and Chaos are currently stationed."
"He has clearly given humanity a death sentence, or rather, he has applied for a transaction that treats humanity as a commodity."
"The gist of it is that three days later, all the Venerables will invade the real world, and humanity will face a catastrophe. However, due to the fact that the Spirit Disaster Player can travel between different instances, He thinks it is very suitable to act as an envoy for the Venerables to spread their faith in different worlds."
"Then, before the destruction of the third day, all humans who voluntarily believe in His Holiness will be taken away by Him, and the rest will be destroyed along with this world."
As he said this, Qin Shusheng couldn't help but clench his fists. The contempt of being treated like merchandise would sting anyone.
But more than anything, it's a feeling of powerlessness.
Even though he had been able to easily beat up the Venerable One's offspring just a moment ago, Qin Shusheng still couldn't show a better expression now.
"So, I want to know, as the player currently known to be closest to the Lord of Desire among the Spirit Disaster players, do you have more information about this judgment?"
"And why are you unwilling to become His spokesperson? Wouldn't that clearly protect us from natural disasters?"
"Or you can interpret it as me asking you on behalf of the Azure Dragon whether you have betrayed humanity."
Qin Shusheng's tone grew increasingly cold.
The folding fan in his hand also exuded a chilling sharpness, making one wonder if the arm that Xiao Shi had recently lost was due to this folding fan.
The Desire Sea Spirit Venerable is the speaker representing the thoughts of the Venerables.
Yan Shuangying, a player who has always been on good terms with others, naturally makes it hard not to suspect his stance.
Looking into the other party's eyes, which were filled with pure killing intent, Wu Wang felt no anger whatsoever.
Instead, he met her gaze without wavering and calmly said:
"Unfortunately, I don't have more information than you do; at most, I just knew a few days earlier."
"I also told Qinglong about this a long time ago, but unfortunately he seems to be very busy and hasn't replied to me yet."
"As for why I don't become the spokesperson for the Lord of Desire, I'm sorry I can't answer that for you right now."
"I can only say that I will never become a representative of the Venerable One, and I guarantee that I will not betray humanity."
"If you don't believe me, you can have Qinglong come and ask me himself, let him see if my soul is still the same."
call--
In this mountain range, which was somewhat desolate from the earlier battle, even the breeze seemed unable to penetrate the almost frozen atmosphere between the two.
Qin Shusheng just stared at Wu Wang's lifeless, expressionless eyes.
The eerie atmosphere was broken by shouts coming from not far away.
"Brother! We're here! Are you all alright here?"
Looking towards Wu Xiaoyou, who was flying over with six wings spread in mid-air, with a fiery red figure like a shooting star and a black and white figure following beside her.
Mary and Lilith also arrived.
Of course, in a sense, they cannot change the current situation.
Even if everyone were tied together, they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat Qin Shusheng alone.
Wu Wang suddenly smiled and patted Qin Shusheng on the shoulder.
This action left the other party slightly puzzled.
How dare he? Is this guy really not afraid that I might just chop off his arm if I'm ever dissatisfied?
The next second, Wu Wang spoke up: "Alright, stop pretending. This isn't Qinglong's intention, is it?"
"You just want to get a certain attitude, or see a certain result from me, am I right?"
Are you satisfied now?
From the moment Qin Shusheng asked himself why he was unwilling to become the spokesperson for the Venerable One.
Wu Wang guessed that his current behavior was definitely not what Qinglong had asked him to do.
After all, Qinglong was well aware of the existence of the "immortal," and naturally knew that he could never become the representative of the Venerable.
Moreover, the other party explicitly stated that if his soul changed in his eyes, he would personally kill him.
Wu Wang never doubted this.
He now realizes that the relationship between the two is so strong that Qinglong would entrust the acting director to him.
It's not hard to understand why Qin Shusheng was so curious about him.
Because of his conversation with Qinglong, Qin Shusheng seemed to have tried to eavesdrop, but Qinglong stopped him.
Now he probably wants to know why Qinglong treats him so specially.
Upon hearing Wu Wang's words, the murderous intent in Qin Shusheng's eyes vanished instantly, and he reverted to his familiar Qin Shopkeeper persona.
He sighed and said, "Okay, you guessed right, but that doesn't count as you beating me once."
He composed himself slightly, looked up at the sky, and said slowly, "Yan Shuangying, do you know her?"
"Qinglong is not an arrogant person, at least he never thinks so. No matter how weak a comrade is, as long as he is on the right path, he will respect him from the bottom of his heart."
"However, he wasn't like this from the beginning. You can't even imagine how arrogant and annoying he was before he was a Spirit Disaster player."
"Fortunately, the previous director changed his bad temper, which led to the Azure Dragon being able to take on all responsibilities today. I thank the previous director on behalf of all mankind for this."
"But even if he hadn't been changed and would still have continued to act like an arrogant lion, Shi Hui and I would actually find it understandable."
"After all, he was too strong. He was so strong that he never encountered a real opponent from beginning to end. He was so strong that we felt that he should be the savior of mankind. He was so strong that... no one thought that anyone could be compared to the Azure Dragon."
"When the Lord of Desire announced the death sentence for that human to the Azure Dragon, do you know how he responded?"
Suddenly, Qin Shusheng's gaze fell from the sky onto Wu Wang.
Wu Wang simply shook his head.
He really shouldn't speculate on such matters.
After all, as Qin Shusheng just said, no human has ever stood in the position of the Azure Dragon, so naturally no one can guess his thoughts.
Qin Shusheng's expression became somewhat complicated, a mixture of admiration and helplessness as he said:
"He drew his sword at the Lord of Desire Sea."
He only said one sentence: "Humanity will eventually bring all the gods down to earth, and even if I am not the one who does it, there will be others who will follow."
"After temporarily forcing the Lord of Desire to retreat, he also suppressed the verdict that should have been announced to the world by himself, ensuring that it did not leak out at all, and that only a very few of us players knew about it."
"He made a choice for all of humanity."
"How about that? Sounds arrogant, right? From that moment on, I also realized that perhaps his underlying arrogance hadn't been completely changed."
"So, I also asked him a question—if that person wasn't you, then who could it be? Humans don't have that much time left."
Yes, what humanity lacks most right now is time.
Even if the existence of the Necromancer game gives humanity unlimited potential for growth.
But the Venerable One's attack came too quickly, so quickly that humans simply had no time to grow.
"I thought Qinglong would just say a few words to brush me off."
"However, this time he answered me directly."
He said, "Among humanity today, there is one person who will eventually reach the level he has reached."
"That person is you, Yan Shuangying."
At this point, Wu Wang was completely dumbfounded.
Holy crap! Brother Qinglong, aren't you overestimating me?
Am I really that awesome?
Qin Shusheng curled his lip and said, "Right? I had the same expression when I heard that."
"So, of course I need to take a closer look at what kind of person this guy, whom Qinglong thinks will become the 'later' sooner or later, really is."
"I want to personally confirm that you will steadfastly walk this path, instead of becoming a spokesperson for the Venerable Ones like Shi Hui and I, burdened with that heavy shackle."
"Yan Shuangying, you are someone Qinglong approves of. I hope you know this and never forget it."
"Especially after he might sacrifice himself..."
Qin Shusheng's voice became increasingly low.
The silence between them grew even more serious. (End of Chapter)
