Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Liu Yishan laughed and said, "Maybe if I observe more, I'll even know how to gamble."

boom--!

The world's second-best gambler lifted the gambling table and cleaved the world's third-best gambler in two, blood gushing out like a fountain.

Liu Yishan: ?

She subconsciously touched her warm cheek, and a glaring bright red appeared in her palm.

The metallic smell filled her nostrils, tugging at her nose hairs as if to say, "Sarilang! Sarilang..."

This doesn't make sense, does it?

Liu Yishan's pupils dilated in shock, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.

Isn't it a card game?

Why...why did they start fighting?

They even came up with something bizarre like being cut in half... Magic? Haha... It must be a surprise prepared by the organizers for the tourists.

San San screamed in terror, "Ah—! Murder! Murder!"

Many tourists and onlookers rushed toward the exit, wishing their parents could give them two more pairs of legs.

Some of the little fairies who made sharp, piercing noises even climbed over other people's bodies to reach the exit, which immediately threw the crowd into chaos.

Everyone was stuck at the exit like a thick porridge, and no one could get out.

"Ahhhhh! Let the women go first! Let the women go first!" - Many of the girls who were lagging behind screamed and pushed their way to the front.

Unfortunately, when it comes to survival, those second-generation rich kids who were all gentlemanly manners when they were drinking showed no mercy, slapping and kicking their shins...

They pushed back the people who had squeezed in from behind.

Liu Yishan came to her senses and tried to leave, but found that the road was completely blocked.

"How come we've run into another... heinous crime?!"

Liu Yishan ran into the bathroom crying, closed the door, and squatted in the corner, trembling.

"Waaaaah... Someone please save me..."

There's complete chaos outside.

"What?"

Charsu's eyes widened, and he abruptly stood up. "Protect..."

The word "bodyguard" was not uttered.

There was a loud "bang".

The orange-yellow bullet spun at high speed and pierced straight into his forehead.

boom--

Like a watermelon smashed by a punch, juice splattered everywhere.

Chalsus... died.

Jiang Ling silently put Miss M249 away and placed her in her personal space.

Song Ruyu looked around warily, ready to use time reversal without hesitation if there was any unusual change.

An Qingyu and Yamamoto Jiushi lay on the ground, their bodies severed at the waist.

Charsu was shot in the head, and the part of his body above the neck mysteriously disappeared.

As for the most sinister Heavenly Serpent, it was already dead long before the party even started.

Based on this, the mission should be complete.

"Phew..." Song Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ling stared at An Qingyu's corpse, a faint unease creeping into her heart.

Not right.

Would a normal person remain silent if they were cut in half at the waist?

Even 2.5 points of Wu Laosi would say, "Sorry I didn't let you use your full strength."

When An Qingyu was cut in half at the waist, he didn't utter a sound, as if... the dead person wasn't himself, but just a pure physical body.

"You go back in time first."

When in doubt, turn back time!

We can make countless mistakes, but if you make just one mistake, our wheelchair duo will beat you senseless!

[Time Rewind - The Loser Bites the Dust!]

Song Ruyu clasped her hands together and activated her ability to rewind time.

Time has returned to the moment of gambling.

"Play your card, Ko Chun!" Yamamoto Kyuuichi closed his eyes and sneered.

He sat cross-legged, relaxing his mind and body, as if he had mastered the art of perfect freedom.

Jiang Ling then stared at An Qingyu Ming, noticing the four large characters appearing above his head: 【An Qingyu Ming】

Yes, it was him!

So where does the problem lie?

Never mind, let's kill him again!

Jiang Ling: [Zawarudo!]

The gambling table was lifted up and swept around fiercely, once again beating Yamamoto Kyuuichi and An Qingyu Ming.

Yamamoto Kyuuju: "Ugh...wasn't this...gambling...? Why did you flip the table...?"

An Qingyu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but that was all.

"Time rewind."

[Time Rewind - The Loser Bites the Dust!]

Yamamoto Kyuuichi: "I'm hungry..."

"Backtracking".

[Time Rewind - The Loser Bites the Dust!]

Yamamoto Kyuuichi: "I'm hungry..."

"continue!"

Yamamoto Kyuuichi: "I'm hungry... I'm hungry... I'm hungry!"

A hint of surprise flashed in An Qingyu's eyes, but he accepted the fact that he had been cut in half as if he had done so calmly.

Jiang Ling frowned and speculated:

"I suspect this guy... is also a stand-in, or rather, he used some kind of concealment technique. In any case, this 'An Qingyu Ming' is definitely not the real him."

Song Ruyu asked, "So what do we do now?"

"Aren't you the operations commander?"

"Yeah, my advice is to just go all out. Anyway, there's time to rewind, and they won't know anything..."

Jiang Ling: ……

Will playing in a wheelchair for too long make you forget how to walk?

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and released his Observation Haki, only to discover something strange.

He carefully observed "An Qingyu Ming" lying on the ground.

"Something's not right, this aura..." Jiang Ling frowned and immediately squatted down to untie the bandages wrapped around his body.

As the bandages were removed, what was inside was exposed.

It was a body that had been skinned, its organs removed, leaving only a skeleton and a heart—the heart was enlarged, clearly indicating a fatty disease.

Observation Haki allows one to see that the "aura" within him is "cheese" and "cola".

"It's not An Qingyu Ming, it's Cha Ersu!"

Jiang Ling suddenly looked up at the second floor.

"Charsu," his head blown off, still lay quietly on the floor.

He also exuded the scent of "cheese" and "cola"...

"Two Chalcuo... what on earth is going on?"

"etc……"

Jiang Ling frowned, as if she had thought of something, and immediately took out some black dog blood and smeared it on her eyelids.

The next second, "Chalsoo" changed.

A thick plume of black smoke rose from the two figures, through which one could see small black smoke demons with chains around their necks.

Jiang Ling's eyes turned cold, and she jumped over and grabbed the little ghost emanating black energy in her hand.

"I never expected to be tricked."

Jiang Ling lowered her head and began to analyze: "It seems that our true identities were discovered from the very beginning... It was all just an act by Chaersu and An Qingyu Ming."

"However, the Heavenly Serpent is truly dead."

Song Ruyu was speechless. "Impossible, our operation is top secret..."

"Nothing is impossible," Jiang Ling shook her head and held up one finger.

"For profit, some people will even sell the rope that would hang themselves."

"The Great Xia Dynasty has a population of 1.4 billion."

"If we allow gambling, drugs, and cults to invade unchecked, guess how big a market it could become? It would be at least trillions."

"With such a promising future, is it really possible for everyone not to be tempted?"

"There has never been a shortage of beasts who betray their country and people for their own benefit."

Jiang Ling poured out black dog blood and smeared it on Song Ruyu's eyelids, then pinched the evil spirit and said:

"See? They set up a little devil illusion a long time ago."

Song Ruyu's face was grim, and she gritted her teeth like a vicious little dog:

"Traitor...we have a mole among us!"

"Yes~", suddenly, the little devil who was being pinched stopped struggling.

Instead, he revealed a wicked smile and said elegantly:

"Let me introduce myself, An Qingyu Ming, an S-rank Onmyoji who cultivates the Purple Gold Demonic Path. The little ghost I'm chatting with right now is the one I created~"

"Oh dear, Mr. Gao Jin... I truly never imagined that my kindred spirit, with whom I share a deep connection, would turn out to be a spy. I'm so heartbroken..."

Another voice rang out, clearly belonging to Charsu himself, who was nowhere to be found. He said with a grin:

"It's a pity you're about to die, otherwise I'd really like to discuss with you the 108 ways to eat pizza... like adding a few-year-old child would make it taste better."

Upon hearing the words "Purple Gold Demonic Path".

Song Ruyu's fair face instantly turned from sunny to stormy, and her eyes seemed to blaze with fury.

"The Purple-Gold Demonic Path actually dares to show itself..."

Jiang Ling closed her eyes.

Recalling the setting of "Purple Gold Demon Path"—a method of enhancing aptitude and spiritual power by consuming "innate" elements.

To put it simply—it's cannibalism.

Children, in particular, are born with abundant vital energy. Their essence can be extracted and refined into "golden pills" through certain methods, which greatly enhance their spiritual power upon consumption...

Because the "golden pills" he refined emitted a layer of purple light, they were called the Purple Gold Demonic Path.

"Hehe, although I don't know what your abilities are."

"But it doesn't matter. As long as we don't give ourselves away, you can take your time to search. It's a huge cruise ship, plus some trickery."

"You're awesome for finding us!"

Jiang Ling sneered, lowered his head, took Song Ruyu's soft, boneless hand in his, and rubbed his index finger against her palm as a secret signal:

How many more times can time be reversed?

I'm furious right now, and I don't care how many times I do it!

Okay, I'm going to use my ultimate skill next, and then you need to refresh it for me.

Song Ruyu was somewhat surprised. "Your ultimate move... isn't time stop?"

Jiang Ling smiled, reached into her pocket and pulled out a cardboard headgear, saying casually:

When did I say my ultimate move was time stop?

Cardboard Knight - Transform!
