Chapter 360: Not Saying You Have No Relationship?
The mask was still fixed on his face, still in an overloaded state, but it had now transformed into a state of greed, breaking away from wrath.
Compared to the completely uncontrollable wrath, the mask of greed, which was more familiar, was relatively mild.
At least, having experienced overload once before, Lu Ce was somewhat easier to control.
It also restored some of the thinking ability to his previously empty mind. When wrath was in its later stages, it really only had the instincts and intuition of a wild beast.
Against Lu Ce’s current body, Xie Antong looked exceptionally fragile. Supporting such a heavy body, she even felt a bit unsteady.
Why did it feel so unbearably heavy? Is this really Lu Ce’s normal weight?
She was puzzled in her heart. Listening to the voice in her ear and the mask’s transformation, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
He still had the mind for joking; that meant the situation wasn’t too bad.
Moreover, when she had just been stared down by the overloaded wrath, she really felt as if the blood in her entire body had frozen! It was just terrifying beyond words.
Her words had almost come out unconsciously, and she didn’t dodge because she knew she couldn’t.Now that it had changed to greed, although the overloaded greed itself was terrifying, in comparison to wrath, it was a bit more approachable.
At least, before acting, there was still a possibility of communication.
“You… how…”
She was trying to organize her words when suddenly she felt a wave of warmth all over her body and immediately sensed something was wrong.
She touched the body in her hands, lifted her hand, and saw a flood of crimson!
!!!
Xie Antong was shocked and forcefully lifted the person in front of her a bit, looking at him.
At this moment, the terrifying muscles on Lu Ce’s body relaxed, and that swollen feeling disappeared. The clothes that had been torn by stretching were now tightly clinging to his body.
His entire body was instantly soaked in blood. The wounds that had been forced open by his power now burst with concentrated bleeding.
Although these were all flesh wounds, from the outside, it looked almost no different from someone on the verge of death.
Xie Antong placed one of his hands on her shoulder and used her shoulder to support his weight, frantically feeling around his body.
But no matter where she touched, it was a hand full of fresh blood, and it was still seeping!
Did this really mean it was his blood?!
How was that possible!
Her brain went blank in an instant. This situation was far beyond what she had expected.
Although she had sensed something was wrong this time, she never thought it could be this dangerous.
And the guy who could even compete against gods in the game was now injured this badly in the real world?
Perhaps she had grown too used to seeing this person win and gradually forgotten that beneath the mask was still just a human body.
“How could this be… who did you fight? Why did they attack you so viciously?!”
“Did… did you bring any potions? The kind from the game!”
“Cough, cough, the dimensional backpack only has so many slots. There’s no way I could bring that many,” Lu Ce said while lowering his head and coughing.
He slumped on her shoulder, head down, the blue cunning face on the mask showing a hint of a smile.
In fact, the basic effect of mask overload was a boost to all attributes plus a certain amount of self-healing.
Although not as effective as potions, this was why he chose greed—to slowly recover.
Actually, wrath’s overload also increased self-healing, but its energy was too wild, and the healing couldn’t keep up with the self-inflicted damage.
So now, the exhausted and seriously injured Lu Ce was purely in the process of healing.
But greed naturally didn’t intend to reveal the truth now. After coughing a few times and putting on a near-death appearance, it said:
“The world is really big… I underestimated the top experts. Almost couldn’t escape.”
Xie Antong: ?!
Do I have such a powerful person?
She didn’t even consider whether he had spoken the truth; all she saw was that the injuries were way beyond normal and had shattered his psychological expectations.
She could only see the wounds on his body that couldn’t be pressed down!
She had no idea where the blood was coming from. Judging by this, she worried the blood might completely drain out.
This wasn’t a game!
Her eyes flickered with light and darkness, and just as she reached the peak of helplessness, sudden anger inexplicably surged up.
“Why did they attack? What do these things have to do with you? Are they targeting you?”
“I don’t know. Since you asked for my help, why don’t you come and see for yourself?” Greed said casually.
“Ah~ I already watched the last game, and yet there’s still an engagement party? Isn’t that disrespectful to me?”
“I didn’t ask you to come…”
“Oh? Then sorry, looks like you really want to get married. Sorry for disturbing your fate.”
“Of course not!”
Xie Antong hurriedly said.
Lu Ce’s entire body pressed against her shoulder, slowly waiting for his body to repair. Some deep flesh wounds had already started to heal, and his strength was returning bit by bit.
But Xie Antong didn’t know this; she only noticed that the blood on his body seemed to have stopped flowing.
Was the blood about to run dry??
He’s practically dying!
He didn’t die when facing gods, but now he was about to die over such a ridiculous reason?
Huh?
“You said you didn’t like me, right?” Her eyes gradually grew hollow, unable to focus, staring at the blue-faced man before her.
She reached out and touched his face. She couldn’t hold back anymore and wanted to take off the mask to see the face behind it.
But now, in the overloaded state, the mask and face were fused together; of course, she couldn’t take it off.
Even if she had the courage to remove it, she couldn’t.
At this moment, a bizarre and absurd feeling engulfed her.
At the same time, the group chasing after Lu Ce from behind was almost there.
Perfect Life was at the front, and at this position, the pressure on him had decreased greatly, his stance ahead of everyone else.
But just as they were about to land on the island, he slammed on the brakes.
What did he see?
Among the Illuminati members chasing behind, someone surnamed Xie also froze in confusion.
Originally, they were just trailing far behind, watching from a distance, worried about what would happen if they caught up.
That jinx, catching him would be suicide, right?
But now, they saw that the previously invincible guy was leaning one-handed on Xie Antong’s shoulder, looking like he was about to die.
And their little princess was holding onto him, still caressing his face.
...
Didn't you say you had no relationship?
