Becoming an indescribable god after failing to ring in the new year.

Chapter 85 The Power to Break the Stalemate from Outside the Game (Seeking First Subscription of 6)

Lu Xiao was not unfamiliar with dead people.

Including his own brother, the kid who killed the hostage, and the gang fights and murders he had committed in the past.

Lu Xiao actually has three lives on his hands.

If he hadn't killed them himself, Lu Xiao would have seen even more corpses.

Lu Xiao wasn't particularly afraid of the corpses, because they were just dead people, nothing serious.

But at this moment, Lu Xiao felt a chill run through his body.

A chill ran down my spine from the soles of my feet to my heart, following the flow of blood.

Lu Xiao had long since noticed that Li Shi was acting strangely.

At first, I didn't understand, but when I realized it during the escape, I couldn't turn back for the time being, and then a series of unexpected injuries occurred.

Now that the other person is dead, all those previous thoughts are meaningless and only bring him pure fear.

This is because it represents the existence of destiny, retribution, and cause and effect.

Everything from the past has now become a deadly shackle.

At this moment, Lu Xiao even felt as if he was bound by something, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Lu Xiao then realized that this was not simply due to psychological fear. He glanced at his ankle and saw two bloody marks there.

It was obvious that at some point, he was bitten by something and poisoned.

The emotional fluctuations I experienced earlier were partly due to genuine psychological changes and partly due to physiological reactions caused by poisoning.

Lu Xiao looked at his reflection in the blurry rain, his face was blue and purple, and the black mark between his eyebrows seemed to come alive at this moment, threatening to engulf him completely.

At that moment, Li Shi's blood spread, and Lu Xiao's reflection in the water also turned blood-red, as if he were about to be swallowed by blood.

"Atony, atonement!" Lu Xiao shuddered, realizing that Li Shi's methods of turning the tables on the mastermind were no longer effective. At this moment, he could only place his only hope on Wu Xiumei's theory of atonement.

The wind and rain subsided, and the sky was no longer as gloomy as before.

A sudden downpour was almost over in just a few minutes; perhaps it will stop in a few more minutes.

The situation is similar in Changshi. In summer, the weather changes like a ghost, with four or five different weather conditions occurring in a single day.

At this moment, Lu Xiao also saw the situation clearly. In the vegetable garden next to them, Wu Xiumei seemed to be lying on the ground, and it was unclear from a distance whether she was still alive.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xiao used the hoe as a crutch and limped towards the vegetable garden.

However, Lu Xiao stopped halfway through, then squatted down, grabbed a tree branch that had been broken by the wind, and threw it forward.

Suddenly, a charming triangle that blended almost seamlessly into the environment began to wriggle in the grass.

The "Rotten Meat King"—the five-step snake, scientifically known as the sharp-nosed viper—is characterized by its triangular head, pointed snout, and symmetrical triangular patterns on its body.

If you get bitten by this thing, you'll likely end up with rotten flesh.

It's unclear whether Wu Xiumei fell to the ground because the wind and rain were too strong, causing her to be blown down and fall, or because she was bitten by this thing.

Seeing the snake coiled there, Lu Xiao dared not make any rash moves.

This snake is a bit neurotic and quite aggressive.

Given the current situation, Lu Xiao might not be able to outrun this snake.

He had already been bitten by an unidentified venomous snake, and his current condition is only some difficulty breathing.

But if he gets bitten by this thing again, even if he isn't killed by anything else, he probably won't live much longer.

Therefore, even though he had a hoe, which is a long-handled weapon, Lu Xiao was still afraid at this moment.

After this period of back-and-forth struggle, Lu Xiao's courage as a criminal has completely vanished.

In the past, Lu Xiaocai wouldn't be afraid of a snake; he could smash its head off with a single stroke of his hoe.

But now, even knowing that a single shovel strike would most likely kill it, I can't help but ask myself: what if?

What if he didn't kill the snake, and then the snake crawled up the hoe and bit him?

This "what if" mentality was entirely due to Lu Xiao's recent exposure to too many low-probability events, which changed his perception.

In Lu Xiao's current view, many things are subject to unforeseen circumstances.

Along with this thought, a severe lack of self-confidence began to creep into Lu Xiao's heart.

And this lack of self-confidence is getting stronger and stronger.

Because the darkening of the glabella indicates that the condition has already begun to manifest.

Lu Xiao's forehead was indeed darkening at this moment. His bodily functions were declining, and his brain and heart were experiencing insufficient blood supply.

In addition to these physiological changes, Lu Xiao also experienced two other changes.

One reason is the deterioration of spirit and psychology brought about by Li Shi, a high-quality sacrificial offering, which is specifically manifested in a lack of self-confidence.

Even though they have the ability to do it, when it comes time to do it, they have a tendency to back down, and their strength may at most deteriorate to level 0.

The other is genuine luck.

That involves some mysterious element that does not exist in reality, so although such influences exist, their actual effect is not significant.

After all, that's how metaphysical abilities work; by borrowing from real-world objects, the degree of erosion required for the ability doesn't need to be too strong.

However, creating something out of thin air requires much more effort.

Real luck is something that is hard to guard against, but it also requires a lot of power. Perhaps only after Lu Shi's ability level is raised can this part of luck power truly play a role.

Right now, the first two methods are particularly effective.

Under the combined effects of physiological and psychological factors, Lu Xiao transformed from a ruthless bandit into someone who wouldn't even dare to hit a snake.

In the drizzle, Li Shi died on the earthen embankment, his body now a pool of blood.

Lu Xiao stood facing the snake, not daring to make any move.

Wu Xiumei collapsed in the vegetable garden, her fate unknown.

At this moment, it seems that Lu Xiao is the only person who can move.

Just then, a buzzing sound came from Lu Xiao's pocket.

This commotion seemed to activate Lu Xiao's almost frozen brain.

He reached into his pocket and touched Wu Xiumei's phone.

After he snatched it yesterday, he didn't return it to the other party; instead, he casually stuffed it into his own pocket.

For some inexplicable reason, Lu Xiao, who was a bit slow to react, chose to answer the phone.

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from inside.

Wang Yanlin —

"Hello, is this the money you transferred? Thank you so much!"

Lu Xiao didn't listen to the words of gratitude during the call.

For a moment he was in a daze. Wang Yanlin was his and her brother's classmate.

His brother pursued Wang Yanlin, who was a good student at the time, for a long time before finally winning her over.

The reason I wanted to quit was because I genuinely wanted to live a peaceful life with Wang Yanlin.

The reason why someone was pushed off the building back then was probably largely due to jealousy.

In prison, Lu Xiao felt regret, but not much.

But now Lu Xiao felt a mix of emotions.
