MMB Chapter 1667 Poison
Chapter 1667 Poison
The secretary didn't say anything more, because as the two of them climbed the steps, they were getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain.
Lingxu Mountain is indeed very high, but even an ordinary person like the secretary can cross most of the mountain in just a few steps. It's as if the formulas for speed and distance have been altered on this stone staircase leading to the summit, allowing one to reach the top in just a few steps.
When the secretary knocked on the door and entered the Lingxu Ancient Temple, the coffee in her cup was still steaming hot...
at this time,
A figure dressed in a monk's robe sat as still as a sculpture on the stone ground, staring blankly at the chessboard in front of him.
The Amber Knight did not enter with the secretary, but waited outside the ancient temple. No one else was allowed to enter without Lingxu Jun's permission.
"Lord Lingxu, your coffee." The secretary placed the coffee next to the chessboard.
Lingxu Jun was still staring blankly at the chessboard.
"Lord Lingxu..."
"Your coffee."
The secretary raised her voice slightly, and Lingxu Jun finally came to his senses. He looked as if he had exhausted too much mental energy in one go, his brows were full of haggardness and fatigue, and his messy hair was flying in the wind. He didn't seem like Jiu Jun at all, but just a slovenly ordinary person.
"Ah."
Lingxu Jun casually took the coffee, didn't even look at it, and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing his coffee, Lingxu Jun finally recovered somewhat. He handed the empty cup to his secretary, looking at the chessboard in front of him as if preparing to fall into deep thought again. Just then, the secretary spoke up again:
"Lord Lingxu, the Amber Knight is outside the door and has something to report to you."
"Oh... let him in."
Lingxu Jun nodded.
The secretary tidied up the empty coffee cups and walked straight out of the ancient temple. He passed through the gate, nodded to the Amber Knight who had been waiting outside, and the latter stepped into the temple.
As for the secretary, she did not leave immediately, but walked to the stone steps leading up the mountain, sat down on the spot, and seemed to begin to admire the scenery below.
"Lord Lingxu." Amber Knight Lai approached Lord Lingxu and bowed respectfully.
"what's up?"
Lingxu Jun didn't even raise his head, seemingly utterly exhausted.
The Amber Knight took a deep breath, and a strange glimmer began to shine from the depths of his eyes… His words seemed to carry a strong psychological suggestion:
"Lord Lingxu, have you noticed... that the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer?"
……
"...Has it started?"
"Judging by the time, it should have started by now."
On the streets of the Spirit Void Realm, the leader of the Deep Blue Knights, J of Spades, gazed in the direction of Spirit Void Mountain, as if waiting for something.
Beside him, the commander of the Raven Knights took a deep breath:
"Hopefully the toxin will be effective."
"Don't tell me I'm not interested in how you plan to deal with Lingxu-jun." The Jack of Spades turned his head away. "If you fail, it has nothing to do with me... I'm just out patrolling the streets as usual."
"You have so little faith in us?" the leader of the Raven Knights said in a deep voice. "We have been preparing for this day for a long time... The coffee supply over the past few months has accumulated a large amount of toxins in his body. With Amber's [Hypnotic Game] detonating it, it will at least put him into a deep sleep for several years... This is the best solution for the Spirit Void Realm."
“No matter how clever your methods are, he is still Lingxu Jun.” The Jack of Spades looked into his eyes. “You cannot underestimate him.”
"I know, but this is the most we can do." The leader of the Raven Knights paused for a moment.
"We can't just stand by and watch him push the Spirit Void Realm... into the abyss, can we?"
The Jack of Spades sighed:
“I told you… you shouldn’t have told me these things. If you fail, I’ll be dragged into it too.”
“In any case, you already know.” The commander of the Raven Knights patted him on the shoulder. “Now… we’re in the same boat.”
After saying that, the Raven Knight turned and walked to the other side of the street.
Once he was completely out of sight, the Jack of Spades leisurely took off his monocle and gently wiped it... As he lightly rubbed it with his fingertips, lines of text flashed across the lens and then disappeared without a trace.
"Feel sorry……"
"We have never been in the same boat."
The Jack of Spades walked straight to a reflective window, looked at his reflection in the mirror, and smiled slightly.
He and his reflection simultaneously extend their right hands...
"Come on, rock, paper, scissors."
"If I lose... I will forget what happened in the last five minutes."
"Rock, scissors..."
"cloth."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jack of Spades gestured with his hand to make the shape of "cloth".
In the window's reflection, he lightly swung a pair of "scissors"... The next second, a flash of white light appeared in the eyes of the Jack of Spades.
……
"Lord Lingxu, have you noticed that the nights have become increasingly dark lately?"
The Amber Knight's voice was very soft.
His words seemed to possess a certain magic, capable of striking straight to the heart. As his voice fell, Lingxujun's eyelids began to grow heavy, as if the night had truly arrived.
“...Is that so…?” Lingxu Jun murmured softly.
"Lord Lingxu, you seem to be very tired lately."
"……Um."
"If you're tired, take a rest." The strange light in the Amber Knight's eyes grew more pronounced. He seemed to be engaged in a psychological game, while his enemy was gradually lowering his guard under the influence of the poison and his words.
"Your body is heavy, your thoughts are heavy... It's hard for you to think about anything else."
"Why don't you close your eyes and sleep for a while? You can think about those things after you wake up..."
Lingxu Jun's eyelids drooped lower and lower, and the Amber Knight's voice seemed to come from the ends of the earth. An unprecedented drowsiness surged into his mind, and his body was undergoing some kind of change. As the Amber Knight said, it was getting heavier and heavier, as if it were filled with lead.
Until Lingxujun's eyes closed completely, he was like a fragile stalk of straw, gently swaying forward in the wind...
Upon seeing this, a look of joy immediately appeared in the Amber Knight's eyes!
however,
A hand suddenly braced itself against the stone ground.
Sharp, scattered pebbles left bloody marks on Lingxujun's palms. His body, heavy as lead, was now kneeling on the ground in an extremely unyielding posture. He was breathing heavily, as if he had used all his strength to slowly open his eyes, which had been closed...
A pair of bloodshot eyes, filled with pain and struggle, were once again exposed to the air!
"Do not……"
"I can't sleep..."
"I haven't found a way to save humanity... I haven't finished... my mission..."
"No matter what... I can't sleep!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lingxu Jun suddenly raised his hand and slammed it heavily against his chest!
puff--! !
A mouthful of scarlet blood spurted from his mouth. At this moment, he finally regained some consciousness, and his ferocious eyes suddenly locked onto the Amber Knight in front of him!
