It slipped out from Cheng Cheng's clothes, hovered in mid-air, and slowly rose. The jade pendant was shaped like an ouroboros, head to tail, with no beginning and no end.
Then, as if a giant mercury serpent appeared out of thin air.
The Wheel of Fortune has been set in motion!
This is a legendary treasure that contains the authority and power of a saintess!
"clang--!"
After a bell rang, everything began to rewind. The red mist receded from Cheng Cheng's fingertips, and the fallen soldiers stood up again as if a video was being played in reverse, their heartbeats returning from nothing to something.
Then, time sped up.
The red mist returned to the body of the Jingguan Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva statue was restored, slowly retreated to its original position, picked up the cuckoo's sneakers from the ground, and held them in its palm.
The illusory image of the giant mercury serpent spun slower and slower, the silver light began to dim, and cracks appeared one after another on the jade pendant.
Click.
The circle stopped, and everyone returned to Navel's office. The map on the wall was still crooked, and tea dripped from the teacup on the table to the floor.
This was during the period when the plan was still being discussed.
But this time no one spoke.
Navel slumped in her chair, looked at the bewildered Gold Saints, sighed, and then turned to Cheng Cheng: "Miss Sylvia, what was that just now...?"
"A gift from the Holy Maiden."
Cheng Cheng took out the jade pendant from his pocket. The cracks spread from the snake's tail to its head, as dense as a spider web. Only the small part around the snake's eyes was still intact: "It looks like it's only enough for one more use."
Everyone was speechless.
In this battle, everyone tried every power they could muster, but even if they killed the Jingguan Bodhisattva, they were no match for the red mist within its body and would be taken away by its death cry in one fell swoop—either way they were going to die, they might as well have run away from the beginning!
"It seems I have no choice but to try my method?"
Only Li Xianyu stood with her hands on her hips, full of confidence: "Come on, let's have an unprecedented 202000P!"
Chapter 87, Is Lin Pianpian a good girl?
Although the Saintess's "Wheel of Fate" looks the same as Cheng Cheng's game rollback effect, they are actually quite different.
First, limited by the Saintess's status, she can only rewind a certain area, rather than resetting the time of the entire world—after all, there are still source matter and primordial existences in this world, like a giant ocean liner with power far exceeding that of humans, capable of carrying hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo across the ocean, but absolutely unable to bear the weight of Mount Tai.
Moreover, the jade pendant is merely a treasure created by the saintess using her authority. Like the cuckoo, it is just an extension of legendary power and cannot erase the fact that "the 'Death God' demon has descended." At most, it goes back to before it was "deceived" by the cuckoo.
Another difference is that the "Wheel of Fate" can selectively retain the memories of the person whose memories have been rewound, while Cheng Cheng's rewind time exists only in his own mind.
Just like now, everyone's memories from the last time have been preserved except for the Jingguan Bodhisattva. Even the gold generals and silver officers were filled with fear, let alone the 200,000 kingdom troops.
This violent group, which relies on moon sugar to numb their nerves in order to fight monsters, can only be called an army if they can be controlled; otherwise, they are just bandits!
Burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of atrocities are practically instincts etched into their souls. Although Cheng Cheng is not racially discriminatory, he is referring to goblin, orc, and ogre soldiers. The human soldiers are mostly from good families and have been corrupted by these alien races!
So when Cheng Cheng brought Freya and Bugu to the camp of the military prostitutes, he saw a scene of chaos that looked like the end of the world.
The camp gate had been broken open, and the interior was filled with tents. Several barrels of liquor were piled in a corner, the liquid spilled onto the ground and seeping into the sand. A few goblins were huddled around the barrels, burying their faces in the openings and gulping down the liquor, completely oblivious to the impending war.
"Ah, no!"
Further away, a group of soldiers formed a circle, and from inside the circle came a woman's scream.
Cheng Cheng walked over and saw two cannibals dragging a young woman out of a tent. Their bodies left a long trail on the ground, and their clothes were torn, revealing the skin on their backs, which was covered with bruises and scratches.
A short man in an officer's uniform rushed over and stopped the group of soldiers: "Are you crazy? It's against military regulations to try and get something for free without paying!"
The soldiers paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
An orc stepped forward and slapped the junior officer across the face, knocking him to the ground. Another grabbed his ankle and dragged him to a wooden pole in the center of the camp. Several men lifted him up, tied him to the pole with ropes, and then found a bucket of water and poured it over him.
The officer choked, and the soldiers laughed even louder.
Cheng Cheng sighed and walked past the group of soldiers causing trouble.
But at the same time, the soldiers' bodies jolted, as if they had been hit on the back of the head by something. Their eyes immediately became empty, the smiles on their lips froze on their faces, and their hands and feet hung down stiffly.
A moment later, they all stood up and stood in a group behind Cheng Cheng like puppets.
puppet!
With the blessing of the "Arrogance" card, Cheng Cheng only took three seconds to turn a group of ordinary people who were not even silver-level into puppets!
He walked up to the woman who had been tortured by the soldiers. She was curled up on the ground, covered in wounds, with half of her face swollen, her clothes torn, and her pale skin covered with pinch marks and teeth marks.
Cheng Cheng gestured, and Freya knelt down to use healing magic, then found a piece of clothing on the ground and covered the woman with it.
They didn't have time to do anything more, so they turned around and led the puppet soldiers behind them toward the center of the camp.
The soldiers' riot was a result of the camp administrators' dereliction of duty.
To restore order as quickly as possible and place these military prostitutes in appropriate positions for the ceremony, the help of the administrators is still needed.
Following the puppet's directions, they arrived at the door of a house in the center, only to see three drunken junior officers publicly humiliating a woman. One officer was on top of her, another was unzipping his pants, and the third was sitting on a stool nearby, holding a wine jug and watching as he drank.
The three officers' eyes lit up when they saw Cheng Cheng and Bugu.
They released the woman and staggered over. The officer in the lead, wearing a major's uniform, sized Cheng Cheng up and down, licking his lips: "A new woman? How much?"
The other man wiped his drool and said, "Brother, there are three of us here. One for each of us is just right!"
"Are you a pervert? How could you do that to the youngest pink-haired one?"
"At this point, since we're all going to die anyway, wouldn't it be a huge waste not to experience everything before we die?"
"That's true!"
Cheng Cheng sighed, just about to kill them all, when he saw Bugu beside him laughing and saying, "Okay, come and play! But just a few of you might not be enough~"
The three officers were overjoyed and quickly called their brothers to come along.
A dozen or so people followed Bugu into a nearby house. As soon as the door closed, a scream rang out. Half a minute later, Bugu clutched his stomach, let out a burp, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he walked out of the house.
Cheng Cheng asked, "Where are those soldiers?"
Cuckoo tilted its head: "What soldier? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"You want to alter my memories again?"
"I haven't changed it yet..." Bugu said, sounding a little aggrieved, her lips pursed. "I just don't want to die a starving ghost. Hypnotizing the Jingguan Bodhisattva just now took too much energy..."
Cheng Cheng wasn't offended by Bu Gu killing these people, since he was going to kill them anyway—the job of military prostitutes was to satisfy the needs of soldiers, which was understandable. However, these soldiers didn't treat these girls as human beings just because of their background and job, and committed all sorts of excessive evil deeds against them... This was absolutely wrong.
Those who commit various evil deeds because they despise others are indeed worse than animals.
Although he knew that Bugu was not human, he still felt a little uncomfortable with the thought of this guy eating people, and frowned.
However, there was no intention to stop her—after all, with their current strength, they really couldn't do anything to her. Besides, this girl had done a good job hypnotizing the Jingguan Bodhisattva before, and thinking about it carefully, she was still quite useful. If they kept her around, it would be convenient to do whatever they wanted in the future... wait!
"Are you trying to change my perception again?" Cheng Cheng asked warily.
Faced with Cheng Cheng's questioning, Bugu really felt wronged this time, and snorted coldly, ignoring him.
Chatting casually, the three of them pushed open the door and entered the room.
The room was dark, and there was a woman lying on the bed—no, there were several.
They lay sprawled on the bed, covered in injuries; some were unconscious, while others were still twitching slightly.
A man in a major's uniform was on top of a woman on the bed, making loud movements. The creaking of the bed frame drowned out the footsteps of Cheng Cheng and the others.
Cheng Cheng raised his hand, his index finger transforming into a gun barrel, pointing at the ceiling—
"boom!"
A gunshot rang out, causing the oil lamp's flame to flicker.
The man jumped in fright, nearly falling off the bed. Clutching his groin, he turned angrily, "Didn't I tell you to wait in line outside?"
Then he saw the white-haired girl burst through the door.
At first, his eyes lit up, but then turned to horror when he saw the girl unleash her sacred domain: "Gold?! You, you were with the general this morning..."
Before he could finish speaking, a gun barrel was shoved into his mouth.
"As a military officer, why are you having fun here instead of fulfilling your duties at this critical moment?" Cheng Cheng rebuked angrily.
The officer gritted his teeth: "We're all going to die anyway, and we're no match for that devil, so what's wrong with enjoying ourselves while we can?"
Without wasting words, Cheng Cheng directly raised his hand and transformed him into a puppet. He then ordered him to lead the puppet soldiers behind him to maintain order and to gather all the military prostitutes to prepare for the ceremony.
The swarming puppets obeyed the order and turned to leave the room.
Only then did Cheng Cheng have time to look at the woman on the bed.
One elf and several humans were unconscious—after all, the stamina of a Silver-ranked being was beyond the capabilities of normal humans; the fact that they hadn't had their skulls pierced was already a testament to their physical strength.
Freya used healing magic to awaken the three women.
The elven woman was confused for a moment, blinked, and her pupils slowly focused from being unfocused.
Then she saw Cheng Cheng's face clearly—so beautiful, so noble, so pure…
A strong sense of shame made the elf instinctively shrink back: "Don't...don't come too close!"
"Uh, what's wrong?" Cheng Cheng stopped in his tracks.
The elf lowered her head, biting her lip, and covered her chest with her hands: "I... I just had a customer, and he was very rude, so I smell a bit..."
Cheng Cheng paused for a moment, then sat down on the edge of the bed:
"What's your name?"
"Lin Pianpian," Lin Pianpian said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry you saw this... Has that customer left yet? He hasn't paid..."
"They've already left." Cheng Cheng paused. "Who are these people with you?"
“These ladies are Ogiwara Sayu, Shirakawa Tsukiai, and Mizuhara Chizuru. I heard they’re from an island nation in the east…” Lin Pianpian said, her voice trailing off. “You look very noble, why would you come to a place like this?”
Cheng Cheng said, "I am the general's guest. You are an elf, how did you end up in this place?"
Logically speaking, Lin Pianpian looks to be eighteen years old, and as an elf, she should be at least a hundred years old... As an elf, she should have saved up a lot of money, so how could she have fallen into prostitution?
Lin Pianpian sighed: "I was kidnapped by the mafia and sold into the military..."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and she leaned against the wall, looking up at the ceiling as if gazing into the distance: "When I was in the Empire, a friend introduced me to a job, saying there were many opportunities to make money in the southeast of the Empire... After I went there, I was kidnapped by the mafia, stayed in the park for a few years, and then sold to the Kingdom. After moving around to several places, I finally ended up here."
Freya heard these things for the first time and sighed, then couldn't help but ask, "Then why would these other girls... do such things..."
