Taoist priest goes to America

Chapter 90 The Killer's Honey Trap

Ang Lee's expression remained unchanged; he managed to suppress his smile and successfully held back.

"He especially liked to show off in front of me. Every time he came back from a mission, whether I wanted to listen or not, he would run up to me and tell me about his achievements from beginning to end."

He talked about how he used the black mist to take down the target, evaded the security system, and cleared the area within thirty seconds. After he finished, he wanted to see my reaction. If I didn't praise him, his face would fall all day.

""

Yuzu rolled her eyes. "He also gets jealous for no reason. Last month, I went on a mission with a male colleague. The day after we got back, he was beaten half to death and spent a week in the hospital."

"I went to ask Ise Kibo if he did it, and he actually had the nerve to say, 'Why should I go on missions with you? I've barely gone on any missions with you.' I almost wanted to strike him dead with lightning at that moment."

"So it's not surprising that he told you his weaknesses—" Li An asked, "Does he tell you everything?"

"Yes, he tells me everything." Yuzu nodded solemnly, "including the fact that he's afraid of lightning."

"He said I was his nemesis, and that it was an honor to be restrained by Yuzu-chan," he said, before reaching out to touch my hair, which only stopped him when I kicked him in the face.

"Then why don't you form an alliance with him?" Li An asked, his gaze fixed on Youxu's face.

"He's your lapdog; he'll never listen to a second word you say. If you ask him to form an alliance, he'll definitely agree. Why bother coming to me?"

"Who respects a simp?" Yuzu pointed at Li An. "You're completely countered by my lightning, but you still managed to kill me."

"You turned the tables from a disadvantageous position, while he, facing his nemesis, is just lying on the ground waiting to die."

"Why would I ally with someone who can't beat me? I'm allying with people to take down the boss, not to have teammates hold me back."

Yuzu shifted the position of the pillow she was holding, placing it under her chin, her tone tinged with disdain.

"Moreover, he is also afraid of death. He usually acts like a hero in front of me, but when it comes to the crucial moment, he is the first to back down.

"He would never dare to rebel against the organization's leader for my sake. He knows the organization's leader's power very well. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to have the slightest thought of rebelling."

"I'd ask him to form an alliance? If he doesn't run to the boss and betray me the next day, that's already a tiny bit of sincerity on his part."

"In other words, his loyalty is uncertain." Ang Lee nodded, his expression unchanged. "A card that can't be played."

"Yeah, and he'll come to your door to kill you because he wants to show me his manliness."

Yuzu suddenly blinked, as if she had thought of something to be happy about. The disdain on her face faded, and she looked at Li An with appreciation. "But you are completely different from him."

"When you faced my attack, I initially thought one of the two armored figures was you."

"And what happened? You pretended to be the zombie whose head I easily smashed at the beginning, lying on the ground feigning death, which made me expose an opening and then strike successfully."

""

She leaned forward slightly, and the collar of her bathrobe slipped down a little more with her movement, revealing a patch of fair skin on her chest.

"And this, how did you withstand my electric shock? When I blasted a lightning bolt right in your face, a normal flesh-and-blood type should have been burned to ashes."

""

"The layer of flesh and blood camouflage on your body should have blocked most of the damage."

"But flesh and blood are also conductive, so an electric current should still be able to penetrate them. Yet you weren't electrocuted to the point of losing your ability to move. What's the principle behind that?"

"It's very simple physics," Ang Lee said. "I created countless inflatable bubbles inside that layer of flesh and blood armor."

"When lightning strikes, the electrical energy is conducted through the surface of the armor. To penetrate the armor and hit my body, it must first break through the air layer between the bubbles."

"Air is one of the best resistors. It takes a lot of energy for an electric current to break through the air. The power decreases with each layer of air that is broken through."

,

"When the outer bubble is punctured, a new bubble is immediately generated in the inner layer to fill the gap."

"When the voltage drops to the point where it breaks down the last layer of bubbles, the remaining current has little power left."

"Bubbles," Yuzu's eyes widened, and she repeated the word. "Create bubble-like reactions inside the flesh armor? You came up with that on the spot after you saw me discharge electricity?"

"temporary."

Yuzu was silent for a moment, then let out a chuckle through her nose, hugged a pillow to cover half her face, leaving only her eyes visible, and her gaze swept over Li An's face several times.

"Brother, you're definitely more reliable than that simp Ise Akibō."

Li An tapped his fingers on the armrest, reviewing the information Yuzu had just given him.

Fujiwara Sakuin's abilities are too comprehensive. After his flesh and weapons are fused together, he becomes an unparalleled force in both offense and defense. His weaknesses are vague and the probability of triggering them is extremely low, making a direct confrontation too risky.

But Ise Kibo is different. His abilities have been completely suppressed by Yuzuo, and he has obvious weaknesses in his personality—impulsiveness, jealousy, and most importantly, he is eager to prove himself in front of Yuzuo.

Why not use this kind of person first, instead of keeping them for the New Year?

"That Ise Kibo," Li An began, "tell him the date and tell him to come and kill me ahead of time."

Yuzuo asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"A killer honey trap," Li An said with a sneer. "You take advantage of his sycophantic nature and give him false information, saying that you had already injured me beforehand."

"I'm hiding somewhere recovering from my injuries, and only you know the location. But you're busy with other things right now. Ask him if he wants to take this opportunity to pick up the kills?"

"Given the extent of his infatuation with you that you just described, he will most likely act alone before Fujiwara Sakuin."

"I understand." Yuzu licked the glossy lip gloss off her lips. "When he sees that it was me who provided the information, he'll think he's gotten a great deal and will rush over here without saying a word. Then, when he gets here, he'll find out..."

"I'm not the only one waiting for him," Li An continued. "There are two of us. Your lightning completely counters his black mist, while my fleshy tentacles are responsible for blocking his movement and close-range strangulation."

"We have the advantage of going first, the ability to counter him, and the number of people. As long as he doesn't come alone with help, this is a one-sided siege."

He stopped mid-sentence, his gaze lingering on Yuzu's face. She was listening intently, her left hand unconsciously kneading the pillow.

"But the premise is one—"

He really has to be able to come ahead of time.

"If someone else gets there first, the game is over."

""

"So you need to plan this carefully, so he comes alone ahead of time," Ang Lee said. "Are you sure you can handle that?"

Yuzu tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and said, "Yes. I know that Fujiwara has a long-term mission in Africa recently, which will probably take another week to finish."

"The hunting queue within the organization is something he himself said: whoever has the higher kill count goes first."

""

"Fujiwara can't come back for the time being. After his clone was destroyed, he has been hiding to recuperate. If I give him a little push, the first one to come to my door will definitely be Ise Kibo."

""

"Okay." Li An stood up, smiled, and extended his left hand to Youxu. "Pleasure working together?"

'

Yuzu also extended her right hand, which had been restored to its original state, and a sweet and innocent smile appeared on the little girl's face.

"It's a pleasure working with you."
