Chapter 1744 Unbreakable Stalemate!
Ma Han was stunned. After a long while, he came to his senses and his eyes were filled with horror!
He felt as if he understood what Smir was plotting.
This despicable fellow seems to want Xu Xiao to use his power to save these Paru people who have been dead for a long time!
But what's the point of doing that?
To weaken Xu Xiao?
They wanted to take advantage of her weakened state after reviving all the Palu people, when she was exhausted and powerless, to attack her.
That's probably right!
The slave group was unable to resist the Palu people's wave of self-liberation ideologically, nor could it defeat Xu Xiao militarily.
Therefore, they had no choice but to resort to such despicable means, using a large number of Palu people to wear down Xu Xiao's strength!
mean!
Utterly despicable!
“Squad leader, we can’t repeat this…” Ma Han subconsciously wanted to speak up to dissuade him.
But he stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.
Because he knew the woman in front of him too well.
My advice was useless.
Not only because of the past three years of being classmates,
It was also because of the experience of fighting alongside Xu Xiao after the apocalypse broke out.
Upholding the noble ideal of not letting anyone suffer or be harmed, Xu Xiao will carry out his mission without hesitation whenever possible!
Even if the price she pays is her life.
Otherwise, the nickname "Holy Mother" wouldn't have been stuck to Xu Xiao's name like it was welded on!
They couldn't just ignore him, but they also couldn't stand by and watch Xu Xiao slowly walk into the trap.
In the end how to do?
As Ma Han struggled with his decision, the white thorns that had sprouted from Xu Xiao's body had already pierced into every single corpse.
The power of tolerance began to take effect.
The lividity fades, the deathly aura recedes, and life returns.
The three mountains of corpses collapsed silently.
The Paru, who had been dead for a long time, got up from the ground and looked around blankly.
But after seeing that figure surrounded by holy white light, all the confusion found direction.
"Master Xu Xiao..."
"Lord Xu Xiao has come to our rescue!"
"I knew Lord Xu Xiao wouldn't abandon us!"
"Waaaaah, Lord Xu Xiao, I thought I'd never see you again..."
The voices of the Palu people grew louder and louder.
But Xu Xiao's expression gradually turned ugly.
Although these hundred or so Palu people are all ordinary players and their strength is very weak.
But perhaps because the time since death was too long,
She could clearly feel that the expenditure of using her authority of leniency was much greater than before.
The detachment from losing her memory made her feel a little dizzy.
However, seeing that her authority took effect and the dead Palu people came back to life one by one, she felt that all her efforts were worthwhile.
"I just don't know which memory I've forgotten this time... It's really inconvenient not being able to recall it..."
After muttering a few words to himself, Xu Xiao looked at Smir again and said calmly:
"These hundred or so Palu people are less than one percent of the total missing persons."
"Are there any others?"
"Truly worthy of being called the Holy Chosen One, this compassionate heart truly moves me deeply." Smir slowly shook his head, his face full of sighs.
He glanced one last time at the Palu people who had spontaneously gathered towards Ma Han and Oinke, then turned to Xu Xiao and smiled:
"Don't worry, everyone else is here, not one is missing."
"I'd like to trouble Lord Xu Xiao to walk with me for a while longer."
After saying that, the Euglin fox didn't wait for Xu Xiao's reply and turned to walk away.
Ma Han pushed aside the Palu people surrounding him, took a step forward, and grabbed Smir's shoulder.
Seeing the slight fear in the other person's eyes, he no longer roared and shouted angrily as before.
Instead, he lowered his voice and warned menacingly:
"I don't care what you're planning, you'd better just give up!"
"The slave society you serve is on its last legs and will eventually perish, but our Earth has more than just Xu Xiao as a chosen one!"
"You have to think about it carefully!"
Upon hearing this, Smir's lips twitched, and the fear in his eyes quickly faded:
"Don't worry, I've definitely thought it through!"
"How dare someone as insignificant as me challenge the powerful forces behind you!"
"Everything I've done is arranged by those above me; I have no choice in the matter..."
What a convenient excuse for being unable to control one's own destiny!
Ma Han felt contempt.
Judging from his previous behavior, it's impossible that he was forced to do this!
Perhaps this series of vicious plans was actually proposed by Smir!
Ma Han really wanted to just explode at this despicable Oglin fox.
Even if it means mutual destruction, I'm willing to do it!
However, the oath and contract had already been signed.
Killing Smir is the same as killing Xu Xiao; there's no way to use force.
To completely eliminate this scourge, the oath and contract must first be dissolved.
There are essentially three ways to terminate a contract:
Firstly, once the contract terms are fulfilled, the oath contract automatically becomes invalid and is dissolved.
Secondly, both parties to the contract reached a consensus and unanimously agreed to terminate the contract;
Third, if one party to the contract loses their player identity or if a powerful external force intervenes, the contract may be broken at the rule level, rendering the oath invalid.
The first two are naturally impossible to achieve in the short term.
The contract must remain in effect until Smir's death, meaning it cannot be dissolved by fulfilling the contract.
The idea that both parties could reach a consensus and agree to terminate the contract is simply a pipe dream.
Therefore, the only solution is the third method.
Break the contract at the rule level and make the oath effective!
Losing their player identities, based on what Ma Han knows about the methods available to Earth, the only way is to rely on "Master Bridge" Zhen Naihe to extract Xu Xiao's or Smir's souls and seal them in the item [Nuo Puppet].
As a chosen one of the gods, Xu Xiao's soul was already far more powerful than that of ordinary people.
The chances of Qiao Ye successfully extracting her soul are low, and it could also trigger a series of subsequent problems.
Smir's strength was mediocre; extracting his soul was as easy as eating and drinking for Bridge Master.
The problem is, this guy will absolutely not cooperate!
Perhaps they had already prepared for this, and would have committed suicide as soon as they sensed anything amiss...
Therefore, the only way to terminate the contract is through the intervention of a powerful external force!
But what powerful external force could break the contract at the level of rules?
[Rule-tampering trial voucher]?
That item can indeed temporarily and forcibly change the rules, rendering the oath contract ineffective.
However, there are also triggering conditions.
When using this item, the target must be within the Secret Realm of Rules.
Moreover, the altered rules are not permanent.
If handled improperly, Xu Xiao could also die along with Smir.
After much deliberation and reflection,
In the end, they were all dead ends.
Suffocated!
Ma Han's facial muscles were taut, as if he was about to grind his back teeth to pieces!
He had clearly been aware for a long time that the slave cartel was up to no good, and knew that those guys harbored ill intentions.
But why can't we prevent it?
If only Lu Li were here.
He'll definitely find a way to break this deadlock...
