I am the one running the game

Chapter 529: The Plague of Betrayer
"you're awake."

In a daze, Ke opened his eyes and his expression suddenly became alert.

The memory in his mind instantly recalled the last scene, which had undergone some horrifying change on him, but when he woke up again, he saw not the same person, but a more familiar outline.

"Lu!!! Why are you here?" Ke's expression turned horrified.

Lu Xingshi grew from two meters and five to almost three meters. Naturally, it was not only his height that changed, but also his bones, weight, etc., which made Lu Xingshi's face quite different from when he was two meters and five.

Fortunately, Ke recognized Lu Xingshi at a glance.

"I saw such a big egg when I passed by and thought of roasting it and eating it, but then I saw you inside it." Lu Xingshi talked nonsense.

This changed Ke's expression, and he secretly sighed: "I'm so lucky that I didn't meet him."

He naturally knew that he was a totem warrior with seven blood lines.

Ke is not Lu Xingshi, who cheats and spends money. Although he is a reborn person, he has very few opportunities because of problems at the beginning. Now his biggest opportunity is the pearl that Lu Xingshi lent him.

"I was detained by the people from the Snake Spirit Court. He must have gone out hunting, so he must be nearby."

"Leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to escape when he comes back. The other party is a totem warrior with seven blood lines." Ke said decisively.

As for why he was here, Ke lied and was vague about it.

He also did not reveal that he was removed from the list and became a traitor.

In his opinion, Lu Xingshi is stupid but also kind. He is willing to do anything in the tribe and rarely delve into various matters.

Faced with some rumors, Lu Xingshi would just laugh it off.

It was impossible for Ke to escape from his hands by himself, so he could only rely on Lu Xingshi's power.

"Is it true? Why didn't I see it?" Lu Xingshi said this, but in fact he supported Ke and left step by step at a very fast speed.

But Ke, who had just crawled out of the dome, was extremely weak and urged, "Carry me and run. If we keep walking like this until he comes back, we won't be able to escape."

He really couldn't bear it. There were obviously better ways to leave, but she had to support him. This was simply insane.

"No, you're sticky all over, and if I carry you on my back, my hide will get dirty." Lu Xingshi refused directly.

After hearing this reason, everyone was stunned. It's already this time, and you're still concerned about whether your animal hide is dirty.

Wouldn't it be even dirtier when going out hunting? You didn't mind that, but you actually mind it now.

What’s more important is that you were about to eat the egg and were about to open your mouth to put it in your stomach, but now you are saying these words.

The veins on his forehead were about to pop out.

But soon, Ke realized one thing. At this time, Lu should be studying with the Royal Court Wizard in the Bronze Royal Court. Why was he here?
A bad premonition suddenly emerged in my heart.

"Lu, why are you here?" Ke asked tentatively.

"They all said they were passing through and were about to return to the tribe."

"Why are you here? Why didn't you go to the royal court with me before?" Lu Xingshi asked in return.

"I want to give the spot to you. You know I'm not qualified, so it's useless even if I go there." Ke gritted his teeth and started to make up stories.

What else can I do if I don't make up stories? I can't just tell the truth.

He also suspected that Lu Xingshi might also be making up stories and that nothing he said could be trusted.

"Oh, so you ran away."

"But it's all over now. Let's go back to the tribe together to prevent you from getting caught again next time." Lu Xingshi continued to talk nonsense.

But these words made Ke's scalp tingle. He was still going back to the Copper Tree Tribe? He was afraid that he would be sacrificed to the Copper Tree Totem as soon as he returned. He would be a traitor.

"Okay, let's go back to the tribe together, but hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to go back if the enemy catches up with us." Ke could only agree temporarily.

It would take at least seven days to walk from his current location to the Tongshu Tribe, especially since he had to bring someone like him who was a hindrance with him. Seven days was enough time for him to plan his departure.

"Don't worry, he can't catch up." Lu Xingshi said with certainty.

They were all beaten into mummies by him. Even if they were resurrected, they would have no heads, so there was no need to worry about them chasing after them.

Even if we chase them, we won't be able to tell the direction because we don't have a brain, so the chances of finding them are very slim.

"What do you mean?" Ke keenly noticed something wrong in Lu Xingshi's tone.

"It means exactly what it says." Lu Xingshi did not give an answer.

But Ke was not stupid. He suddenly discovered that there were three blood lines on Lu Xingshi's body. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel suffocated.

Is this something a normal person can achieve?
It would take at least ten years to condense the three blood lines.

Unless there are a large number of treasures, even if Lu Xingshi's blood concentration is perfect, he cannot do this.

But the problem is that even with so many treasures, it is impossible to digest them so quickly.

He understood the problem, which was that something was too obvious about Lu Xingshi.

It was just that he had just realized something was wrong, and it seemed a little too late, so it was difficult for him to get out of this situation. "Lu, I..." He opened his mouth and thought of an excuse.

"I know you want to leave, but now is not the time." Lu Xingshi interrupted the other party. Since he had noticed the problem, he simply stopped pretending and just carried Ke away.

"Where are you taking me, I..." Ke began to struggle.

"Of course I'll find a way to destroy you." Lu Xingshi sighed, "Did you know that I used your body, a traitor, to create a plague targeting the bronze bloodline?"

"If you live, the Copper Tree Tribe will be implicated."

Lu Xingshi doesn't care about the life or death of the Bronze King's Court, but he cares about the Bronze Tree Tribe.

As the source of infection, Ke must be eliminated in the process of growth.

"I...I, that's not right! How do you know all this?" Fear was revealed in Ke's expression.

"Of course it's because I said it myself." Lu Xingshi did not hide anything: "It's a pity that you have the plague in your body, otherwise I would have tortured you myself."

"Actually, I'm very curious about your secrets, such as why you can know some things in advance." Lu Xingshi suddenly smiled strangely at Zhao Ke: "Or your ill will towards me."

"You should be thankful that you have the plague, otherwise you wouldn't be so well off."

Ke swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that Lu Xingshi had been targeting him as soon as he was reborn. He thought he had disguised himself well enough, but he still couldn't escape the other party's observation.

What Lu Xingshi said was true. He was indeed afraid of the special plague caused by the betrayer in the other party and was afraid that it would be leaked out after torture.

As for Lu Xingshi, who was facing the leak directly, whether he could withstand it or not, he had never thought of taking the risk.

"If I tell it, can you let me go?" Ke said bitterly. No matter how important the secret of rebirth is, it is not as important as his own life.

"To be honest, I can't." Lu Xingshi refused without even thinking.

"If you don't have the Betrayer Plague, I can avoid you even if I see you."

"It's a pity that there is no if."

In fact, there is not much conflict of interest between Lu Xingshi and Ke. At most, Ke absconds with the money.

If Ke had returned the pearl in time, it wouldn't be a big problem to let him go.

It’s a pity that the opponent has been transformed into a powerful weapon and we have to deal with it.

The truth made Ke's expression even more bitter. He tried to escape, but there was no way to break free.

"I can tell you about an unprecedented opportunity. You can become a great wizard and glimpse the more powerful power above the Nine Marks."

"I can even never set foot in any tribe under the rule of the Bronze King's Court and go to other places under the rule of other kings' courts."

"After I leave here, I won't have to worry about the plague in my body causing any trouble to the Bronze King's Court."

"You can benefit, and I can survive, there is no loss." Ke Xiaozhi said with emotion and reason.

He did not play the emotional card. After all, he was not familiar with Lu Xingshi. He was a loner and had no friends, let alone any friendship. If he really played the emotional card, it would only backfire.

On the contrary, if you directly bribe them with benefits and express your willingness to leave, your chances of survival are not small.

"What you said really moved me." Lu Xingshi had to admit that he was indeed moved, but being moved did not necessarily mean taking action.

Between eliminating the hidden danger of a time bomb and obtaining a benefit whose authenticity he was not sure, Lu Xingshi would definitely choose the former.

No matter how good the benefits are, if you don't know whether they are true or not and you don't know whether you can get them, they are meaningless to Lu Xingshi.

He does pay attention to long-term interests, but not to this extent.

Castles in the air are far inferior to solid foundations. After all, the former may just be empty promises.

Ke was delighted. He thought he had successfully persuaded Lu Xingshi, but he heard Lu Xingshi continue to say, "But your threat is too great. I'm really sorry."

The joy just arose when it was extinguished by Lu Xingshi.

Lu Xingshi wanted to trick him and get something out of him, but the problem was that he would regret it afterwards and make Ke furious, which would not be worth it.

It would be better to just deal with it directly.

"I..." Ke started to curse loudly, but before he could finish a few words, he was knocked unconscious by Lu Xingshi.

"You can scold me, but can you do it calmly?"

"Things can easily go wrong when emotions fluctuate." Lu Xingshi sighed.

Cursing him wouldn't hurt him, but he was excited when he cursed. Lu Xingshi could clearly sense that the betrayer plague in the other person's body was showing signs of activation.

"I couldn't stop. The worst happened."

Lu Xingshi had originally planned to find a suitable place to deal with it, but now it was no longer possible. After Ke fell into a coma, not only did the traitor plague not be quelled, but it was further stimulated.

All I can say is that this technology is really unstable, but if you think about it being in the primitive era, Lu Xingshi can understand it.
