MTLNOVEL Chapter 477: That Pill
Davis's mouth half-open, stared blankly at the sky...
In that ancient estate, Fog Heavenly King suddenly stood up, and the crystal tea table in front of her inexplicably shattered into pieces.
On the front wall, the final image before the Wing Blade pierced through the air was left.
The person Wing Blade held was the Blood Trace King.
With a whoosh, the grand door of the hall opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in, accompanied by a few snowflakes.
A silhouette appeared out of nowhere beside Fog Heavenly King: "What happened?"
Fog Heavenly King's expression changed dramatically: "I... I anticipated this step! I've already ordered four blocking stations to activate simultaneously, theoretically turning this area into a blind zone. The Wing Blade can't possibly pinpoint a location, so how could it execute a precise rescue?"
Lin Xiaosu's maneuver was actually already anticipated by Fog Heavenly King.
When Lin Xiaosu broke through her initial prediction and didn't become invisible last night, but really set off with Davis and entered the Death Circle, all her assumptions pointed to one sole target.
Which was that Lin Xiaosu intended to use the Wing Blade.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to do this at all.
Based on this, she devised a brilliant scheme of "luring the enemy into the trap".
Initially not blocking satellite signals, then activating four high-power devices once Lin Xiaosu and Blue Demon truly entered the Death Circle, blocking satellite signals and intensely interfering with all electronic devices.
From the moment the signals were blocked, this area became a blind zone for satellites from any country, and naturally, a blind zone for the Wing Blade relying on remote control.
Even if the Wing Blade arrived here silently, it couldn't be controlled in this satellite blind zone; relying on inertia for a single strike might work, but the execution process couldn't be precise, and the Nine Headed Snake even had a chance to counteract, seizing the opportunity to reclaim the lost Wing Blade.
She anticipated it!
She plotted what Lin Xiaosu plotted!
She successfully made a forecast!
However, the final result jumped out of her prediction.
Which was: the Wing Blade wasn't affected by the satellite shielding, nor were its electronic components disrupted, executing the mission with precision.
In the hall, the few people who rushed in were all dumbfounded.
The middle-aged man who appeared beside Fog Heavenly King also frowned deeply: "Unless the control method of the Wing Blade isn't modern technology at all! Otherwise, this error could never happen!"
As long as it's modern technology, it can't escape remote signal control.
As long as the Wing Blade still has electronic components, even with advanced AI, it would lose autonomy.
However, this particular Wing Blade just managed to escape it.
There's only one explanation: the control method of this Wing Blade jumped out of the framework of modern technology!
This is the true reason why "everything was within expectations, yet the result jumped out of expectations" today.
For a moment, the hall was plunged into deadly suffocation.
"Heavenly King, Davis is still waiting for instructions. Next, should we kill these two?"
"Kill! Tear them to pieces!" Fog Heavenly King said.
In the forest, darkness and silence.
It seemed that everyone was still immersed in the super shock of Wing Blade piercing through the air, rescuing Blood Trace.
Davis's gaze slowly turned to Lin Xiaosu, his eyes ice-cold at this moment.
Lin Xiaosu also looked at him, his eyes seemingly smiling yet unsmiling.
Davis took a deep breath: "Mr. Lin, was this all your planning?"
Lin Xiaosu's face showed surprise: "Mr. Davis, could it be that your mind is somewhat unstable? I was accepting your commission to help the Jingnai police find criminal suspects. Clearly, I've completed the commission. Any sudden changes afterward aren't my concern."
Davis spoke slowly: "Does this Wing Blade have nothing to do with you?"
"So this thing is the Wing Blade!" Lin Xiaosu was a bit surprised: "I've heard that the Wing Blade is the Nine Headed Snake's tool to balance the world. Boldly appearing, abducting key police figures, it seems that the Nine Headed Snake bunch are really lawless."
This direct insult made everyone's nose twist in anger on the spot.
Fog Heavenly King also felt her nose twist with anger through the synchronized equipment on Davis.
Davis let out a long sigh: "It doesn't matter now!"
As he leaned back...
Seven shadows moved in unison.
With a whoosh, they surrounded from all sides.
Bang bang...
Grenades exploded!
The explosion of this grenade was completely different from an ordinary grenade, with no earth-shattering explosive power, but instead light smoke engulfed the area.
In an instant, the entire forest, within a radius of a thousand meters, was completely enveloped in light smoke. This smoke was so strange, appearing like fog, not dense, vision not obstructed, yet as the night wind blew by, the smoke didn't move with it, seemingly bound by some magical force in the void.
Davis's eyes in the light smoke, like wolf eyes, flashed with awe-inspiring light, and his face displayed an extremely sinister grin: "Lin Xiaosu, you may have successfully rescued Blood Trace, but you, and Blue Demon, must stay! Kill!"
Whoosh!
Seven masters charged violently.
At their first step, each displayed their high-level skills, some like apes, some like wind, some like lightning...
However, it was just a start!
In the next moment, their movements suddenly distorted!
Their previously harmonious and freely coordinated bodies seemed to be completely disrupted.
Psssh!
A piercingly sharp sword light swept across the night sky, and three heads soared into the air.
A blue light flashed, and another three heads soared into the air.
The Blue Demon, stunning like a spirit, flashed past, a faint blue electric current on the dagger, directly aiming at the last person.
The last person suddenly looked up.
His hand flipped rapidly, transforming into a giant wolf claw.
The Blue Demon's dagger accurately hit the wolf claw, and with a crack, shattered into pieces.
"Nirvana?" The Blue Demon's figure rose, ever-changing and dazzling.
The Nirvana's body suddenly enlarged, and the gigantic claw also turned into a phantom, enveloping all the void ahead.
"Not bad!" A voice suddenly rang out.
Bang!
A small bottle struck the Nirvana's forehead and shattered!
A strange fragrance pervaded, quite pleasant.
However, the Nirvana let out a wild scream and clutched his head abruptly, his face was extremely pained.
The howl was cut off halfway.
The Nirvana fell headfirst, landing...
With a swoosh, the Blue Demon landed from the air, staring in astonishment at the Nirvana on the ground...
The Nirvana lay still, dead through and through.
This...what's going on?
In the faint mist, Davis clung tightly to a tree beside him, the tree quivering desperately, and his face was as pale as paper.
In the ancient manor, the Fog Heavenly King and the middle-aged Heavenly King beside her also opened their eyes wide...
Watching everything through the synchronization device, incredibly surprised...
Lin Xiaosu strolled over, a faint smile on his face.
Davis hissed: "This...why?"
"Haha!" Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Creating a poison field that enveloped us indiscriminately, we are affected by the toxic fog, unable to exert normal combat strength, while you take the antidote, slaughtering us with full combat power—an exquisite asymmetrical tactic. However, Davis, whether it's you or the mastermind behind you, both overlooked one thing: I am a Detective!"
"Detective!" In the manor, the Fog Heavenly King whispered two words...
In the synchronization equipment, Lin Xiaosu's face appeared much closer, as if staring through the equipment at her: "I noticed the unusual pill they were carrying early on, so I used my Empty Hand Skill to swap their pill with my cold medicine. Do you understand now?"
The Fog Heavenly King was dumbstruck.
All three people in the hall were utterly dumbstruck.
They had crafted this scheme with great finesse.
In the jungle, the two forces were originally roughly equal, making it difficult for either side to reveal their trump cards.
However, the Fog Heavenly King, being the strategist, had designed a "dimensional reduction" tactic in advance, which Lin Xiaosu referred to as "asymmetrical tactics."
That is, creating a poison field.
Poison, which the Fog Heavenly King used her ultimate poison: Soul Destroying Fog.
Soul Destroying Fog, annihilating under the fog.
No matter how strong Lin Xiaosu's detoxification skills were, at best, he could hold out longer, clearly his abilities would be greatly reduced, while the Blue Demon would fall at the first contact.
Meanwhile, the Fog Heavenly King's side, taking the antidote, operated freely within the toxic fog.
With eight supreme combat strengths obliterating Lin Xiaosu's half-disabled combat strength, how could there be any suspense?
But who would have thought that the little pill they carried would catch his attention.
And beyond that, Lin Xiaosu used his cold medicine for a swap.
This antidote had been made to resemble the most common cold medicine shape, an ingenious trick by the Fog Heavenly King, yet at the critical moment, it became the fatal flaw that doomed all her subordinates.
These subordinates lacked Lin Xiaosu's insight and completely missed the switcheroo of the antidote, consumed this utterly useless cold medicine, then went on to set up the poison field for combat.
In such a manner, everything turned upside down.
Lin Xiaosu and the Blue Demon consumed the antidote, becoming the forces in the poison field.
While the others, affected by the toxic fog, lost all combat strength or suffered great damage, at the first contact, six were dead, including the super expert Nirvana "Wolf God," who could have matched Lin Xiaosu's true combat strength, died disgracefully.
The brutal war took place in the distant Alpine Mountains.
The result of the war was like a sharp knife, heavily thrust into the Fog Heavenly King's heart.
Her usual demeanor of always having wise pearls in her hold completely changed.
Her heart surged with heated blood, the signs of eruption coursing through her whole body.
Puff!
A soft sound, the synchronization equipment shattered by Lin Xiaosu's leaf becoming a Dakongxuan.
In the manor, everyone lost the live imagery.
The middle-aged person beside the Fog Heavenly King was overwhelmed with icy coldness, the whole hall seemed like one step into an iceworld!
In the dark jungle.
Lin Xiaosu slowly withdrew his finger from Davis's brow.
A mysterious technique had just been performed.
The technique, known to the Blue Demon, was "Divine Control Skill!"
Belonging to the category of Subdivine Secret Technique.
He had performed it over a month ago at Qianlong Headquarters, under this technique, anyone had to speak the truth.
Davis said many things…
Though he didn't have a high status and didn't know who the Heavenly Kings were, his status was not too low, and some names from his mouth still sent chills down her spine.
