Chapter 997 This is the way the world is!
Under Xu Xiao's horrified gaze,
Lin Tianxia, the patriarch of the Lin family, opened his mouth, rolled his eyes up, and fell straight to the ground with a dull sound.
The three clones collapsed quickly like black water, turned into shadows, and returned to Li Luo's body.
Xu Xiao turned his head mechanically, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally uttered a few words:
"why?"
"Why do you still want to kill him?!"
"I've already promised you! Why did you still want to kill him?!"
"Sorry, I acted too quickly." Li Luo's smile grew wider.
Far from showing any apology, those scarlet eyes were filled with aggression.
It seems to be able to see through every weakness in people's hearts.
The girl opened her thin lips and asked calmly:
"So, you want to kill me now?"
Xu Xiao's face was filled with fear, and he staggered backwards involuntarily.
It was not until her back leaned against the cold wall that she regained some strength to stand.
"me……"
The woman's expression kept changing with fear and confusion, and finally turned into deep helplessness.
"You can't even tell a threatening lie?" A hint of surprise flashed across Li Luo's eyes, and his face, which was full of cold smiles, became a little softer:
"You are really kind."
"I just don't want anyone to die!" The woman yelled as she nearly collapsed.
"Why? Why must everyone's life and death be determined by other people's wills and not be in their own hands?!"
"Why do the strong wantonly slaughter the weak?"
“Why on earth is this happening!?”
Li Luo watched Xu Xiao yelling and roaring quietly, the smile on his face no longer there.
Instead, there is an expression, a very complicated one.
Have sympathy and compassion,
There is also a deep-seated sense of empathy.
The Lin family members who were patrolling in the corridor outside the door naturally heard the roar in the office.
I planned to go in and see what was going on.
But as soon as he opened a gap, he met Li Luo's scarlet eyes.
He was so frightened that he shuddered and quickly closed the door.
The girl waited until Xu Xiao had exhausted most of his energy with his roar, and slid down the wall helplessly, before she spoke again:
"This is the way the world is. If you don't have the power to change it, you can only be forced to accept it."
Xu Xiao seemed to have his soul sucked out of him, leaving only an empty shell curled up in the corner, sobbing softly.
Just then, there was a sudden inhalation sound from behind the desk.
It's like a diver who has been holding his breath for a long time, finally sticking his head out of the water and greedily breathing in the fresh air.
Lin Tianxia staggered to his feet from behind the table, with blood still lingering on his temples and neck.
"Master Lin, you are not dead?"
Xu Xiao was stunned, and his tear-filled eyes gradually widened.
"Oh my, my old man's heart will be damaged sooner or later by a girl like you..."
Lin Tianxia ignored the wounds on his head and neck. Instead, he covered his chest with his right hand, looking extremely frightened.
"Necessary drill." Li Luo responded expressionlessly:
"Since the Earth was unified, Patriarch Lin has been living too easy and his vigilance has dropped."
"Have you forgotten what your benefactor told you?"
Lin Tianxia stood there in a daze, unable to find the right words to respond for a moment.
Li Luo continued:
"Luckily, today is just a drill, and I'm the one coming."
"Otherwise, the person in charge of the Lin family would have been successfully beheaded."
"But isn't it because it's you who came?!" Seeing that Lin Tianxia was fine, Xu Xiao stood up again.
However, due to the previous shock and screaming, she had exhausted all her energy, causing her legs to still tremble violently:
"If it was a stranger, the guards patrolling outside would never leave it alone!"
"How can this be called a drill? You are just acting on your own accord!"
"Does the enemy not know how to disguise? Is the black fog's identification 100% correct?" Li Luo glanced at the woman by the wall and asked coldly:
"If all intruders have 'I am a bad guy' clearly written on their faces, then why do we need so many shifts of high-powered players patrolling non-stop?"
"Why don't we all take a holiday and wait for our deaths?"
Xu Xiao was speechless.
The relaxed look in Lin Tianxia's eyes behind the desk was no longer there, and a serious expression quickly appeared on his old face.
Li Luo is right.
After the unification of the Earth, the overall vigilance of the Lin family has indeed decreased a lot.
Coupled with the ubiquitous black fog and the soul generals and soul guards lurking in every corner, the attitude of daily patrols has become increasingly lazy.
Being overly dependent on Lu Li, the Lin family was blinded by their growing self-confidence.
If it wasn't Li Luo who came today,
But it is disguised to deceive the enemy who is detecting the black fog...
Then Lin Tianxia is now a dead man!
As he thought about it, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Lin Tianxia's forehead.
He quickly bowed slightly to Li Luo, with a sincere attitude and a look of shame on his face:
"I have learned my lesson, old man. I have indeed gotten used to lying comfortably under the shadow of Mr. Lu Li... I am ashamed, extremely ashamed..."
Li Luo did not continue on this topic.
He turned his head and looked at Xu Xiao, but said to Lin Tianxia:
"Help me prepare the invitation letter to the Abyss. Also, pick three free players and go together. Don't waste the quota."
"Wait for you over there at the teleportation array."
"I'll do it right away." Lin Tianxia's tone became more respectful.
"What are you still standing there for? Let's go." Li Luo raised his chin slightly towards Xu Xiao, his tone as natural as if he was inviting the other party to go on an outing in the wild together.
"I, I..." Xu Xiao instinctively wanted to refuse.
But under the gaze of those scarlet eyes, I couldn't say anything.
Li Luo did not stand there waiting for the woman's answer, but walked out the door on his own.
When passing by Xu Xiao, the five fingers of his right hand moved rhythmically and pulled out an emerald green dagger.
The dagger flew like a praying mantis flapping its wings.
The woman's heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously said in panic:
"…I need to get ready!"
"Go." Li Luo's figure had disappeared at the door, leaving only the echo lingering in the corridor.
After Xu Xiao hurriedly left the door, the guards patrolling outside peeked into the office.
Before he could even take a good look, he was driven away by Lin Tianxia's obviously angry voice:
"What are you looking at! Are you all living too comfortably? Pay attention to your patrol!"
"Those who fail to meet the assessment standards this week will have their contribution points doubled!!"
"Close the door!!!"
Looking at the door that closed again, Lin Tianxia let out a breath.
The anger in his eyes dissipated, and instead became solemn and complicated.
After standing there for a while, the head of the Lin family shook his head, looked back at the long sword on the desk, and sighed:
"I used to be able to barely keep up with Lu Li's train of thought. I could always guess his next move two or three times out of ten."
"But now, I can't guess it right even once..."
"Alas, you gave me a long sword of mythical quality... How can an old man like me accept this?"
While muttering to himself, Lin Tianxia reached out and touched the green and red long sword:
"Qingluan...what a murderous name!"
"It's a bit of a waste to give it to an old man whose body is half buried in the ground..."
"Hey, I got it! You can give it to Qinxue! She still lacks a handy main weapon!"
"Among the four of them, she has the best swordsmanship. It's not a big deal for her to use a staff every day. It's a waste of her talent..."
