Chapter 652: Here are my two bottles of poison. Why don't you choose one?
As Lust, with an expression so calm at this moment, pulled out that black card, it made everyone who had originally felt something was seriously wrong raise their hearts again.
Wait, could there still be a reversal?
At a time like this, no one had expected him to suddenly be able to pull out an Ability Card.
Now, as the light beam emitted by the decapitated corpse began, the entire world started transforming back towards pink.
Powerful energy filled this world, awakening those eliminated players floating in the air.
Hundreds of large pink bubbles filled this sky, like a natural spectator stand, watching the farce between man and god unfolding before them.
Given their current status and strength, they didn't really understand why, in a game that wasn't supposed to involve life and death, or even care about winning or losing, the god and the strongest player could fight to this degree of life and death struggle.
Now, pairs of ignorant eyes like will-o'-the-wisps in broad daylight stared uniformly at that black card.
From so early in this game, this person in front of them had been swindling and bluffing, never paying attention to the conditions for obtaining special ability cards mentioned in the game.
But now, he just directly took one out!This kind of magic trick-like method probably only worked because he was "Sin," allowing everyone to overlook the illogical aspects.
However, even Xie Antong beside him was dumbfounded. From the moment the game started, she had laid a dragnet and found Lu Ce immediately!
She had even locked onto him before the game rules were fully announced!
After finding him, even when her own mental state was at its worst, her gaze had never left him, maintaining input on all his information.
To win, naturally one must avoid the opponent's strengths and maximize one's own power.
But from the moment she started observing him until now, he had never had a possible moment to obtain that special Ability Card. That kind of energy fluctuation couldn't be faked, and she also believed Lust wouldn't stoop to faking it.
Although this guy himself was quite pretentious...
Therefore, the only possible time he could have obtained that Ability Card was when her mental defenses were down, when she wasn't concentrating.
That time... probably only... that moment?
The sensation on her lips felt inexplicably numb. That condition seemed to be about feeling happiness and love.
Ah...
But he just said he thought he had won from the very beginning. Did he mean he got the card right at the start?
That doesn't seem right either.
However, no one present cared about her numerous internal calculations. The spectators just wanted to see who would win in this tense, thrilling scene. Jiang Yuan was standing there dazed, not knowing what he was thinking. Only Lust, temporarily occupying a headless corpse, spoke up:
"Heh, you have already violated the rules set by this Divine Selection Game. That card is meaningless now."
"Haven't you noticed you don't even have the authority to fire lasers anymore?"
"If you want to use it, tell us, what funny thing are you holding?"
Lust glanced sideways, looking the other up and down a few times, somewhat not understanding why the other would possess a completely headless corpse. It looked quite unsightly too.
But now he was also a bit too lazy to say much. The laziness on his entire person became exceptionally obvious. He just flipped open the card in his hand, releasing the skill effect.
[Special Ability Card: Lie Detector.]
[Please select the target personnel to use it on.]
"Specifically, how should I select you, this fellow?"
"Should I point at you, or point at the thing inside here?"
Lust said with a smile, one finger pointing at the headless Zhong Li Rui, the other hand tapping his own head.
Before Lust could reply, the Game had already automatically made a selection. Pink streams of light circled a few times in the air, then, following Lust's consciousness, locked onto the Lust clone within the game.
[Target selected. Please choose, "Truth Detection" or "Lie Severance"?]
"Just a lie detector..." Lust couldn't help but speak. Actually, He Himself didn't quite understand why the punishment belonging to the Game still hadn't arrived. It was actually waiting for the other's ability to take effect.
This gave Him a bad premonition, because this could very well represent that the Game judged there truly existed a theoretical variable at this moment!
Truth Detection? Wasn't the effect of this card for determining a person's identity?
But now there were only three people left on the entire field. Logically, this card should have been useless long ago!
"Lie Severance!" Lust's calm voice continued to ring out, looking utterly composed, as if he really had won from the start, just as he said.
[Lie Severance effect: Determine if a person's spoken words are a lie. If the judgment is correct, then choose a suitable punishment for the other party yourself.]
[If the judgment fails, the opposite occurs, and the other party chooses a suitable punishment for you.]
The Game's introduction voice this time simultaneously rang in everyone's ears, letting people clearly hear Lust's ability effect at this moment.
"Heh, I remember, at the very beginning of the game, this fellow seemed to say something."
"He said, [I guarantee to everyone here that in this game, you will not be killed by force by those more powerful players.]."
"But unfortunately, it has now been verified as a lie. This person you've possessed has already been killed by me. The head is lying down there."
Lust finished cheerfully, accurately, word-for-word reciting the game rules Lust had announced before entering.
"Wait! That's not right!" Lust immediately spoke up to defend Himself: "That can't be considered a lie."
"What I said had context! That sentence only corresponded with the subsequent rule I mentioned about severe punishment for killing!"
Lust was very disdainful of His attempt to quibble, waving a hand and saying:
"Think whatever you want. Once the words are spoken, the factual result has already proven you were indeed lying. After all, she is dead."
"Either it's already confirmed you lied, or... the rules you announced yourself were wrong? Heh."
"I didn't quite understand where the two bottles of poison you mentioned preparing for me were earlier, but now, I also have two bottles of poison here. Would you like to choose one?"
Lust's mocking voice echoed in His ears, making Lust's mental state extremely poor. He hadn't expected to be tricked in such a place.
"Oh right, you don't think this is over, do you?" Lust's voice continued.
"Seems like I need to provide you with a suitable punishment."
"Look, since your rules themselves have already lied, then the punishment I should receive for violating the rules, how about we transfer it onto you~"
"What did you say!?" Lust's voice instantly erupted in fury.
