Chapter 1648 Telepathy?
"So that's it..."
The gloom on Matilda's face dissipated, and she picked up her teacup again, returning to her relaxed demeanor.
He even picked up a blood-soaked snake tendon and put it in his mouth.
It was as if her thoughts at this moment were being visualized before everyone through the soft chewing sounds she made.
Black Whale glanced at the woman beside him without making a sound.
Looking at those lips stained crimson, a twisted thought involuntarily welled up in his heart: to completely crush the other person and integrate them into his own bones and blood.
She clearly cares a lot about the past, but she pretends to be indifferent.
How affected!
So what if I couldn't win you over on the final stage?
In the end, won't they still have to come back wholeheartedly?
A meticulously directed and choreographed drama, a miracle forged by sacrificing power.
How could you possibly forget something so easily?
"Matilda...you are ultimately just livestock I keep, you can't escape my grasp!"
Black Whale thought viciously to himself.
Just then, he suddenly noticed that the Qiongqi supervisor on the other side was silently looking at him, and he was startled.
As he returned the questioning look, the latter spoke up:
"I've never seen this guest before. Could he be a powerful outsider who has just arrived in this realm?"
"Oh, no, I am a native of this realm. I just used to stay in the God Realm and rarely showed myself in the real world."
"Really?" Qiongqi's tone was slightly surprised.
"Although there are countless players in the realm after the Great Resurgence, the Star-Picking Tower still has some records of Chosen Ones as powerful as Your Excellency."
"Aside from the unexplored areas at the expansion boundary, the Star-Picking Tower's intelligence network already covers all major star systems. Why have we never seen you before?"
"Maybe I'm just a low-key person," Black Whale replied quickly, his mind racing, before offering another perfunctory answer.
"Moreover, before I entered the realm of gods, when I was living in the real world, the Star-Picking Tower had not yet appeared."
"Your rise to power has only lasted a little over three hundred years, hasn't it?"
"Actually, it's more than three hundred years." The Taotie, seemingly intrigued by their idle chatter, interjected:
"We have only existed in this realm for a little over three hundred years."
"If we really talk about the time it took to rise, judging from the past history of Zhaixinglou, it would probably take twice as long."
"Wasn't the Star-Picking Tower built by you?" Black Whale was taken aback and subconsciously asked.
He really wanted to know the details of when Lady Luck ascended to the throne.
Especially when he learned from Taotie that the other party was the child of the murdered Chosen One, Xu Rangxi,
The desire is particularly strong.
However, Taotie's mental state was clearly unstable.
If we were to press them directly, it would likely lead to very bad results.
Therefore, we can only approach it indirectly and go with the flow.
"How could we have built the Star-Picking Tower?" Taotie seemed to have heard an amusing joke, and an ugly smile reappeared on its face.
As the muscles twitched, they tore open and ripped open those wounds that had not yet fully healed, causing a few drops of blood to seep out.
It looks quite creepy.
"Such a massive structure, with all sorts of rules and powers attached to it, would require a great deal of effort even for a god who holds power to create it."
"The three of us managers just had some lucky encounters and ended up with a free lunch."
"So that's how it is... Then Taotie is in charge of your luck, it's really quite good, it can be described as 'surviving a great calamity will surely bring good fortune'..." Black Whale deliberately steered the conversation toward Taotie.
The intention was to use phrases like "good luck" or "a narrow escape from death is sure to bring good fortune" to subtly provoke the Taotie.
This would lure the other person into steer the conversation toward their tragic past, making it easier for him to extract more information about Lady Luck's ascension to the throne.
as predicted,
After the black whale finished speaking, Taotie's face immediately stiffened.
His chest began to rise and fall noticeably with his heavy breathing, and the anger that had finally subsided reignited!
"Having survived such a calamity, one is bound to have good fortune in the future?" Taotie murmured, repeating the black whale's words;
"Even before I was born, my body was already distorted and extremely ugly."
"Disliked by her own father and rejected by her own relatives!"
"If it weren't for the remnants of my mother's divine essence within me, which gave those who only saw strength a glimmer of hope, I would probably have been reduced to ashes long ago!"
"Having barely managed to survive, I stumbled and struggled to grow up, only to be driven away by my cowardly and timid biological father after learning the truth about my mother's death!"
"In order to please that vile bitch who murdered my mother, he even went to great lengths and used drastic measures to drive her flesh and blood out of this realm!"
"If I have to go through all these 'great hardships' to get the so-called 'good fortune'... then I'd rather not have it!!"
Matilda frowned upon hearing this, as if recalling the past.
After a short while, she hesitated before speaking:
"I have a question for the Taotie supervisor, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."
"Madam is a guest, please feel free to speak." Taotie waved his hand magnanimously.
"And what is the price?" Matilda's crescent-shaped eyes gleamed with shrewdness.
Clearly, she hadn't forgotten where she was.
They did not forget their identity because of Taotie's previous frankness.
Inside the Star-Picking Tower, there is buying and selling, and every word is worth a fortune!
She didn't want to be coerced by the Taotie after overhearing some secrets due to her momentary carelessness, and then be unable to pay the corresponding price.
Especially after confirming that the other person's status was that of a chosen one like her,
Becoming increasingly cautious!
"Don't worry, speak freely today, and all information is free." Taotie grinned, tearing several bloody gashes onto its ugly face.
Looking at his extremely agreeable demeanor, it's hard to imagine that just a few seconds ago, he was so angry that he was almost going crazy.
Or rather,
This guy might have gone crazy already!
Matilda opened her mouth, but didn't dare to answer immediately.
Instead, he turned his gaze to the Qiongqi supervisor beside Taotie.
After seeing the other party nod slightly, he coughed lightly and continued:
"Since the Taotie manager is so generous, I won't beat around the bush."
"I want to ask you, do you really know the truth about your mother's death?"
Upon hearing this, the entire VIP room fell into a deathly silence.
It was as if even the air itself had solidified at that moment, turning into a gelatinous substance that was difficult to breathe.
Even the black whale, who was trying his best to hide his inner thoughts and not let them show on his face, mechanically turned his head and looked at the woman beside him with a look of astonishment.
She truly is worthy of being Matilda, who once had a crush on him!
This is just like a pillow being delivered to someone who's about to fall asleep!
He was just racking his brains trying to figure out how to subtly extract more information about the Goddess of Fortune from the Taotie.
As a result, Matilda asked directly?
We're so in sync!
