Chapter 469: So Annoying, You Can’t Hit Me!
Chapter 469: So Annoying, You Can’t Hit Me!
She finally realized the root of the problem and immediately distanced herself from Lynn with a cold expression. With a thought, she initiated a comprehensive scan of her body.
As expected, almost immediately, a piercing alarm sounded within her system.
"Complete body scan finished—abnormal curse detected—analysis results complete—"
"Warning: The abnormal effect of the curse you are afflicted with is as follows: Once you form any intent to attack the target, 100% of your attack actions will fail to harm the target—Data match complete. This curse has appeared 250 times in the Dark World."
At that moment, she finally understood why she couldn't hit him.
Her gaze instantly locked onto Lynn's pitch-black right eye. She sensed a thick, malicious aura emanating from that eyeball.
In other words, just moments ago, this guy had cast an abnormal, malicious curse on her!
She immediately gritted her teeth.
Her hands clenched empty air, and with a surge of digital data streams, a heavy firearm slowly materialized in her grasp.
*Click, click, click—*As if refusing to believe this absurdity, the dark firearm in her hands abruptly reconfigured, extending multiple barrels, and she instantly pulled the trigger, aiming at Lynn.
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—*
Dense volleys of pale blue, icy particle beams shot towards Lynn's position at unimaginable speeds.
It could be said that under such concentrated fire, anything would be instantly riddled with holes.
But the corner of Lynn's mouth quirked up. He stood there calmly and unmoving, showing no intention to dodge at all.
And then, as expected.
Not a single one of the thousands of particle beams fired every second left a mark on Lynn.
He was like a child of absolute fortune, blessed by destiny. Even beams aimed directly at the center of his forehead illogically curved away to avoid him.
Amidst the dense barrage of high-energy particle beams, Lynn smiled, adjusted his monocle, and said to the Mechanical Girl across from him:
"Don't waste your energy, beautiful lady. You can't hit me."
"While I'm far from being your match, you should have realized when you saw my attire that I am a Plague Doctor, a spreader of curses. Isn't it perfectly normal for me to know a thing or two about curses?"
Silver Fantasy stared at him coldly, the killing intent in her eyes growing more pronounced.
Lynn said gently, "Don't look at me like that. This is all your own doing. You chased me from the surface all the way down several thousand meters underground. Your relentless pursuit truly moved me, really. Several times, I almost got killed by you."
"But now..."
Lynn took two steps forward, the corner of his mouth still slightly raised.
A sinister, mysterious aura slowly spread from him, making him look like a great villain from the abyss.
Bizarre!
Powerful!
Just as Zuo Zuo stared wide-eyed, thinking he was about to launch into another grand, pretentious speech...
Lynn (≖ᴗ≖)✧ picked his nose and said:
"Must be so frustrating, Miss Intelligence Machine~ You can't hit me anymore! What to do~? It's really such a headache!"
"WAHAHAHAHA!"
Then Lynn stood there with his hands on his hips, laughing heartily at the Mechanical Girl across from him.
Because his laughter was just too arrogant.
Just one look at him stirred an overwhelming urge to beat him to death.
And Silver Fantasy's originally ice-cold eyes were suddenly provoked by this abrupt, supremely arrogant mockery, instantly revealing waves of anger.
Because that kind of blatant, unrestrained, self-indulgent taunting felt exactly like a brutal trampling of her spirit right before her eyes!
[Ding! Silver Fantasy's anger towards you +1]
"What to do? What to do~? ( ̄▽ ̄)~* Should you keep sniping with your big rifle going 'biu biu biu,' or come over and slash with your little knife going 'slash slash'? Neither seems to have much use, does it~?"
"How about I give you a handicap? I'll just sit here with my eyes closed and let you shoot. Oh dear! I almost forgot, even if I sit still without moving, you still can't hit me, Miss~"
"So frustrating, really so frustrating~ The target you're chasing is right before your eyes, yet you have to endure being played with so thoroughly, unable to do anything about it. Just thinking about it is enough to make one furious!"
"(~ ̄▽ ̄)~ What to do~? What to do~? No way! I'm so helpless too, ahahahaha!"
[Ding! Silver Fantasy's anger towards you +2]
[Ding! Silver Fantasy's anger towards you +3]
[Ding! Lynn's Happiness +1]
Over there, Lynn was completely letting loose, teasing the Mechanical Girl opposite him. One could almost see continuous speech bubbles popping up above his head, filled to the brim with all sorts of trash-talking taunts.
He had completely let go!
Zuo Zuo and the others stood in the distance, staring blankly at this scene that had inexplicably become extremely disharmonious.
Hei Xianyue finally couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned her head away, asking:
"Has he always been like this?"
Zuo Zuo facepalmed, (눈‸눈) and said, "He gets like this when he's being particularly arrogant. So, no matter the situation, he always manages to draw maximum hatred."
He's clearly getting carried away with his success!
But given his utterly wicked personality, it makes sense.
After finally encountering such an opportunity, of course he'd want to thoroughly mock the opponent. Whether he can actually win the fight is one thing, but he absolutely cannot lose in the verbal sparring.
But right at that moment, Lynn's voice suddenly rang out in Zuo Zuo's consciousness.
"Don't just stand there dumbfounded. Tell Miss Puppet and Little Treasure to eliminate as many of those Mechanical Beetles as possible. Otherwise, once that Mechanical Girl finds a way to break the curse, we won't have another chance."
Zuo Zuo jolted in shock.
She stared wide-eyed at Lynn, who was still ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ teasing the Mechanical Girl in the distance, and exclaimed in astonishment:
"Stupid Brain, you..."
"Don't be fooled by temporary safety. We're not out of danger yet. Even though I cursed her, her mobility is still intact. And given the Mechanical Cult's years of experience fighting the Flesh and Blood Cult, if they don't have countermeasures against curses, I'd find that hard to believe."
Zuo Zuo was greatly shocked. "Then you're..."
"I'm looking for an opportunity to curse her again. Since she shows emotional fluctuations, it means she's not just some cold, emotionless machine that only follows orders. As long as there are emotions, there are vulnerabilities. And I'm looking for that vulnerability."
After hearing Lynn's words, Zuo Zuo was utterly astonished.
