Thriller Paradise

Chapter 456: 456

As ROOT finished her sentence, the two fingers of her right hand already pierced towards 23’s eyes.

With a sharp sound… Fresh blood splattered on 23’s pale face, but… it was not her own blood. Because a passing glance of golden light accurately severely ROOT’s index and middle fingers.’

“As you wish…” Feng Bujue’s voice came from behind ROOT, he charged along with Death Poker. “I have arrived.”

“Hah…” ROOT laughed, “This is you human’s biggest weakness…” She said as she extended his arm to push 23 away. In almost the same second, ROOT turned around and clamped her hand around Feng Bujue’s neck. “You are very clever that you can read my intention.” ROOT continued. “But you are also very stupid because you would still do something like this knowing the result.”

Their conversation confused the others… because this was a battle of the wits between Feng Bujue and ROOT; For others, this was a series of alternating and changing scenarios, but for them, it was a much more complicated and dangerous gamble…

First, in that earlier situation, if 23 really wanted to blind 23, then Feng Bujue wouldn’t be fast enough to stop her. Both of them knew that. Then why would ROOT have her fingers severed? Obviously because she had purposely slowed down. To put it blankly, she was ‘waiting’ for Feng Bujue to come save 23. And when Sharp Gale planned to do so, ROOT used her overwhelming power to stop him, that was another signal for Brother Jue—”it has to be you and no one else.”

Brother Jue naturally understood ROOT’s meaning but… he had no other choice.

“Even an individual as perfect as you has a hard time escaping from the constriction of emotions.” ROOT lifted her arm to slowly raise Feng Bujue off the ground. She did not hurry to snap his neck but used a cruel gaze to stare at him and said, “You have abandoned the most logical solution simply because you refused to let your partner being tortured by me… But… will your choice, really change anything?” While she spoke, ROOT raised her hand without turning her head around. She used her recovered hand to use Shigan behind her…

That shapeless and soundless energy instantly blasted Brahma who was charging over into meat paste.

“Have you ever wondered… objectively speaking, your choice might have caused a negative effect?” ROOT continued. “in the end… your partners will still be tortured and killed but through this process, you have turned from a ‘sideliner’ into a ‘victim’.” She paused. “No matter how you look at it… other than to placate your own ‘conscience’, there is no meaning to your action.”

Feng Bujue could not reply because his windpipe was being crushed.

“This is why… everything about your future will be filled with chaos…” ROOT continued. “On you people, I can always see formulas that surpass logic and has no basis in reality… The destiny that is hard to capture but are interweaving together is the blind spot of a regulated world.” With a cold smile, she asked. “Do you know what is different between us and you?”

At this point, both Yama and Vishnu made their move, the long whip and giant copper came at ROOT from both sides. But when the whip and copper collided, ROOT’s body turned into shadow and disappeared between the attacks. 2 seconds later, she reappeared in the air and Feng Bujue… was still in her grasp.

“We Anomalies also have the same range of emotions, joy, anger, sadness… when tragedy befalls us, like you humans, we will feel pain…” ROOT shrugged off the others’ attack and continued to lecture Brother Jue. “But when facing the choice like the one earlier, I will still pick the most logical solution.” She raised her voice as if wishing for all the players to hear her. “This… is why we Anomalies are better than you humans. Compared to your useless ‘conscience’, we will be able to more objectively assess the cause and effect of this world.”

“Brother Feng, be careful!” Shiva’s roar came from the ground, he was going to use his ultimate. The last stone plate of Heavenly Hourglass collapsed, announcing the activation of the skill Sanctuary.

The effect of Sanctuary was, remove all the effect from the enemy’s skill and equipment (passive included) for one minute. Shiva did not know whether this skill would help Brother Jue or not but in this circumstance, what could be worse. It was better than doing nothing.

But…

Just as Shiva made his move, ROOT and Feng Bujue’s location… changed again. But this time, it was not ROOT was did it but it was the strangled Feng Bujue who used Desert Wind Spinning Kick…

“Hah…” ROOT laughed. “Even when your consciousness is failing, you can make such calm assessment…” She turned around to look at Shiva. “You almost killed Feng Bujue, do you know that?”

Shiva was startled. “Hmm… to hear that from the person who is grabbing him by his neck… sure is…”

“Don’t forget that in this scenario, Feng Bujue is your enemy, he will be affected by Sanctuary.” ROOT interrupted, “But me… I don’t mind it.” Then another shigan came. Shiva had witnessed this twice already, he was prepared. He reacted when he saw the woman raise her hand and barely avoided the attack.

“Hmph… futile struggle.” ROOT commented icily. Then she turned her head back to Feng Bujue. “Hmm… Still have 42 percent Life Points left is it… ha ha…” She chuckled. Her beauty was enough to shame the prettiest flower. But in her eyes, there was no mirth at all. “You better not faint on me. I have planned to leave 23 until the end… After I’ve killed these few, your Life Points should drop to about 1 percent, then I will put you down and have you enjoy how I will…”

At this point, her exceptionally beautiful face suddenly had a strange expression cross it.

“What is this feeling…” ROOT mumbled to herself. Then a white light flowed cross her eyes. “Cross Curse is it… such a lowly skill…”

“Thanks for the compliment…” A long-awaited voice said.

The dark shadow was fast as meteor. Xiao Tan appeared behind ROOT, and started with Bat’s Wing to avoid ROOT’s immensely fast Shigan… Then he used Shadow Impel to sever ROOT’s arm. When ROOT turned around, her line of sight was filled with a mist of blood and a broken arm.

Both Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi had escaped from her range of control.
