128: Chapter 128 Recruiting Los
Qi Yun spoke indifferently, each word landing on Du Jue's heart like a hailstone.
Du Jue's body instantly stiffened, as if his blood had frozen! He stood where he was, not daring to move a muscle.
Meanwhile, Luo Si was still clutching Qi Yun's other leg, which he hadn't pulled back yet, crying her eyes out.
Qi Yun looked down at the girl, who was crying without any shred of dignity, humbled to the very dust.
"Alright, stop crying. Answer me one question first."
Luo Si's sobbing quieted down a little; she lifted her tear-blurred face and looked at Qi Yun with a hiccup.
"How did you know to make everyone lower their heads?"
Without knowing his ability, he couldn't understand how Luo Si had been able to predict it and issue a warning in advance.
Hearing this, Luo Si answered intermittently:
"My profession is 'Foresighter'... I can automatically sense fragments of scenes within the next two minutes that pose a fatal threat to myself."
As she spoke, she fearfully observed Qi Yun's expression, terrified that this "ability" might anger him or make him view her as more of a threat.
"But the scene that appeared in my mind just now was too shocking, so by the time I warned everyone, it was a bit late." She lowered her head, her voice trailing off, filled with self-reproach and lingering fear.
"I—I didn't mean to. Next time I see it, I... I won't warn them again."
After saying this, she began to sob quietly again, her shoulders heaving.
Predicting the future? Even if it was only for two minutes and just vague, fatal threat fragments?
A flash of surprise crossed Qi Yun's eyes. This ability was somewhat interesting.
However, seeing how timid this girl was...
"Since you're so timid, how did you dare to come down and join them in 'crusading' against me?"
Luo Si lifted her head, tears still hanging on her face:
"I heard I could see Sister Xia Jin... so I followed them down."
Her face flushed slightly: "I'm a fan of Sister Xia Jin."
Everyone: "..."
So this girl had mixed into the "crusading army" just to get a close look at her idol?
Qi Yun was speechless for a moment, yet also felt like laughing.
This girl's personality and ability were such a stark contrast.
Timid as a mouse, yet possessing a clairvoyant ability that could be called a divine skill.
A thought stirred in Qi Yun's mind.
"You said earlier that you were willing to do anything, right?"
Luo Si's body stiffened, fear deepening in her eyes, but she still nodded vigorously, tears welling up again: "Mm... mm! I'm willing to do anything!"
"Good." Qi Yun let go, straightened up, flipped his hand, and an Origin Flying Dagger appeared in his palm.
Luo Si looked blankly at the flying dagger before her, then at Qi Yun, not understanding what he meant.
"Take it, go, and kill him." Qi Yun shoved the flying dagger into her cold, trembling hand, then pointed at Du Jue, who was frozen in place not far away, looking deathly pale.
Luo Si's hand jerked violently, and she nearly dropped the flying dagger!
"Me? I can't. I can't beat him, I'll die." Her voice was trembling uncontrollably, laced with a crying tone.
Qi Yun looked at her, his tone calm, "You can also choose to point the knife at your own throat right now."
Luo Si stared at the cold flying dagger in her hand.
Finally, she stood up shakily, step by step, as if walking to her death, and headed toward Du Jue.
The color of her pupils turned ash-gray.
Du Jue watched this petite girl, who had been crying her eyes out just a moment ago, now walking toward him clutching a knife.
Damn it! Qi Yun wasn't doing it himself; he actually sent such a useless woman to humiliate him?
Although he feared Qi Yun, he figured he was more than capable of dealing with a crying girl who looked like she could be blown over by a gust of wind!
A fierce light flashed in Du Jue's eyes! Just as Luo Si, trembling, walked to within about a meter of him, looking at a loss—
"Die!"
Du Jue suddenly erupted into action!
"Whoosh!"
Three black tentacles shot out from his left sleeve without warning!
In the distance, Xia Jin and the others' expressions shifted slightly. They hadn't expected Du Jue to still be hiding such an insidious ability.
The very moment Du Jue's left hand moved and before the tentacles had fully emerged, Luo Si's body had already reacted a step ahead!
As if she had known from the start which angle the tentacles would strike from, her petite body suddenly leaned backward to the side in a perfectly timed maneuver!
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"
The three barbed shadow tentacles grazed past her nose, chest, and lower leg.
"Hmm?" Du Jue missed his strike, his heart jolting. A coincidence?
A more vicious glint appeared in his eyes, and more shadow tentacles erupted from the shadows around him.
However, Luo Si was like a swaying leaf in a storm; while appearing to be in extreme danger and on the verge of being torn to shreds, she always managed to dodge the fatal attacks by a hair's breadth!
"Damn it! What the hell!" Du Jue became increasingly alarmed and agitated as the fight went on! This woman was clearly pitifully weak, and her movements posed no threat, yet she was as slippery as an eel!
His attacks had clearly sealed off all her retreat paths, yet she always managed to find that almost non-existent, sole path to survival!
This wasn't scientific!
A flash of madness crossed Du Jue's eyes; he no longer held back.
"Go to hell! Shadow Strangling!"
Luo Si stood where she was, unmoving.
"Got you!" A savage, satisfied smile appeared on Du Jue's face.
In the distance, Xia Jin couldn't help but cry out: "Watch out!"
Luo Si seemed to be waiting for something.
"Hum—!"
An extremely faint sound of spatial fluctuation, like the vibration of a musical string.
The savage, satisfied smile on Du Jue's face, along with the wild joy of impending victory in his eyes, froze.
"Shhh—"
A soft sound.
Du Jue's head separated from his neck.
A pillar of blood shot into the sky, spraying several meters high!
Qi Yun had made his move.
He looked down at Luo Si beside him.
He saw that she was still standing in place, her petite body still trembling slightly, tear tracks still wet on her face.
"Wuu..." A suppressed sob escaped her throat, and more tears gushed out, sliding down her cheeks.
Qi Yun looked at her in this state and asked:
"Why did you suddenly stop moving?"
He had seen clearly just now that Luo Si had clearly had the opportunity to make a dodging maneuver.
But she hadn't; she had just stood there, as if she had given up resistance.
Luo Si lifted her tear-blurred face and looked at Qi Yun:
"Because in the future scene fragments I 'saw', the best choice was to stand still, because then you would make a move."
Qi Yun's pupils constricted slightly.
"In the fragments you 'saw', I made a move?"
Luo Si nodded vigorously, a few more tears falling: "If I enter the precognition state, I can continuously see the future within two minutes. But I only have one hour per day."
Qi Yun fell silent.
This Foresighter was a bit overpowered.
Only two minutes, but if used well, it was simply a divine skill.
Not only could it avoid fatal danger, but it could also create incredible tactical possibilities in battle!
Before Qi Yun could continue to ask in depth about the details and limitations of this ability, Luo Si spoke up voluntarily:
"When my pupils turn ash-gray, that is the sign that I have entered the precognition state."
"I am Luo Si from Class 2 of the School of Economics and Management. If you could let me shake Sister Xia Jin's hand..."
"I am willing to join your Tribe."
Qi Yun: "..."
The question he had just been about to ask, before he had even organized his words, had already been anticipated by the other party, who had then proactively provided the answer and the conditions.
This feeling was rather strange, and also left one unable to get angry.
