“Since our goals align…” Chen Junnan said, “then it doesn’t matter whether I’m an ‘Extreme Path member’ or not. We can cooperate, right?”
“Yes, ‘Long live the Extreme Path’ will guide us to victory.” Yan Zhichun grinned. “I’ll activate my ability. Although the person on my left is already deaf, I can control the person in front of me. Next, both of us will choose ‘Yes,’ but there are six people total on the field including you. We still need two more people to choose ‘Yes.'”
“Don’t worry, besides me, there’s one more reliable teammate.” Chen Junnan patted the wooden ceiling and said to Yan Zhichun, “Zhichun Jie, if this works out, don’t rush off. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting.”
In the thirty-sixth round, Chen Junnan found a room to land in, then casually pressed “Yes” on the screen. Next, he kicked off the wall and flipped over the roof, climbing along the massive iron chain all the way to the vicinity of the Earth-Snake’s room, hiding to the side to observe.
He calculated the voting situation for this question. On Yan Zhichun’s left and right were Xu Qian and Zhong Zhen respectively. They might both choose “Yes.” Adding himself and Yun Yao, this would be the first time everyone united in their choice.
Even if one of them went back on their word, it would still be four votes against two. This battle couldn’t be lost.
Sure enough, the Earth-Snake’s screen flickered and slowly revealed a sentence.
“The final answer to this question is—’Yes.'”
The Earth-Snake’s entire body trembled. He hurriedly moved closer to the screen, lifted his head, and looked up at the sky above with a cautious expression.
He immediately spotted Chen Junnan hiding beside the ceiling.
“You little bastard…!!” The Earth-Snake said through gritted teeth. “What are you up to?”
“I’m dealing with you.” Chen Junnan laughed. “Old lecher, go to hell.”
Having said that, he slowly shifted his body to get closer to the Earth-Snake’s room, then slowly closed his eyes and muttered, “I’m… really fucking unlucky.”
As soon as the words fell, the massive iron ball suddenly appeared above the Earth-Snake. All the iron chains didn’t make even the slightest sound, as if the iron ball had been there all along.
“You fucking…!!”
The Earth-Snake was just about to shout when the iron ball thunderously fell.
Since Chen Junnan was very close to this spike-covered wowotou, his body was extensively lacerated. Shocking wounds burst open one after another, but he seemed completely unconcerned. After all, only by being close enough to the Earth-Snake’s room could the iron ball fall here.
BANG!!
The iron ball didn’t hit the ground but seemed to be held up by something.
“Earth-Snake, you old bastard, still making your death throes…” Chen Junnan said, covering the wounds on his body. “Go die for me…”
“Kid… I—I won’t die…” The Earth-Snake held up the iron ball with both hands, saying viciously through gritted teeth. “As long as I don’t die this time… I’ll kill you immediately…”
Chen Junnan lifted his head and looked nervously at the chain fastening the iron ball. Something seemed wrong.
Why hadn’t the chain broken?
Could Yun Yao’s plan be different from what he imagined?!
“Big Star… did you fail?”
He felt the situation seemed quite bad. Something appeared to have gone wrong with Yun Yao’s part.
“Yun Yao!!” Chen Junnan shouted from the ceiling. “Where’s your ‘conviction’?!”
The loud voice traveled to Yun Yao’s room not far away. At this moment, Yun Yao was sweating profusely with her eyes closed.
She had thought of this matter too simply.
She had never seen that massive wowotou that looked like a steel hedgehog, nor had she ever seen the iron chain connected to the iron ball. If that was the case, how could she destroy this equipment through imagination?
A wowotou… covered in iron spikes?
“Wait… wait for me a bit longer…” Yun Yao murmured with her eyes closed. “Give me one more chance…”
At this moment, the iron ball began to slowly rise. This attack had ended.
In just a few seconds, Chen Junnan had already roughly guessed the current situation.
For Yun Yao, trying to completely control something that didn’t exist was truly too difficult.
Chen Junnan quickly thought things through, then suddenly lifted his head and shouted, “Awesome!!”
The loud voice traveled from the ceiling into Yun Yao’s room, startling her.
She lifted her head and looked at the ceiling in confusion, seeming unclear about the current situation.
“Big Star, you’re amazing!” Chen Junnan said. “How did you do that?? One of the links in the ring-shaped chain fastening the iron hedgehog came loose, just enough to let the iron ball fall.”
“Huh…?” Yun Yao felt somewhat relieved hearing Chen Junnan’s words. “Really?”
“That’s right.” Chen Junnan said. “Fortunately, this iron chain has been used many times and is already somewhat rusty now. Otherwise, your ‘Echo’ might not have worked.”
As Chen Junnan shouted these words, he looked at the iron chain above the Earth-Snake’s head. Rust stains were visibly appearing there.
What he was describing with his mouth was now forming images in Yun Yao’s mind. Once the images in her mind overlapped with reality, “Strong Luck” would take effect.
“Big Star, how did you do this?” Chen Junnan continued with a furrowed brow. “Why did you happen to know that the sixth iron ring counting from bottom to top on the iron ball had rusted away?”
“The sixth one…?”
“And you just happened to make the iron chain split from here. You’re really something, Big Star.”
At this moment, the Earth-Snake also realized something was wrong. The man on the ceiling above seemed to be doing something significant… Was he assisting someone’s “Echo”?
“Kid… I’ll take your life!!”
Taking advantage of the iron ball slowly rising, the Earth-Snake immediately leaped up, extending his rough hand to grab Chen Junnan on the wall.
Chen Junnan’s expression turned cold. He immediately crouched down halfway, extended one foot, and kicked downward fiercely, hitting the Earth-Snake right in the face. He only felt a sharp pain in the sole of his foot, as if he had stepped on a rock.
BANG!
With a crisp sound, the Earth-Snake was actually kicked over from midair and fell to the ground. Although this strike didn’t cause him much harm, it made him tumble on the ground.
Chen Junnan knew he had just gotten lucky. If his next kick hadn’t hit the Earth-Snake and he had been caught instead, he would surely die.
He looked up again at the gradually rising iron ball. The sixth iron ring counting from bottom to top was indeed nearly rusted through, but at this moment it hadn’t directly caused the iron ring to break. If the iron ball moved elsewhere and broke there, everything would fall short of success.
“Oh no, Big Star!” Chen Junnan shouted somewhat anxiously. “The break you caused is so neat!! It’s like it was fucking cut with a knife. This way… this Earth-Snake who rapes women, imprisons children, commits every evil deed, deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces, and deserves ten thousand deaths can finally be killed by us, right?!”
Snap!
Yun Yao felt her thoughts suddenly become clear. She had never felt her conviction so firm before.
Yes, the Earth-Snake deserved to die. He had no reason whatsoever to live in this world.
That iron ball would one hundred percent fall down and crush him to death.
Evil naturally receives evil’s retribution.
Under Chen Junnan’s excited gaze, the iron chain fastening the iron ball finally broke. The iron ball lost all control and dropped vertically into the Earth-Snake’s room.
