Above Destiny

Chapter 503 Promises and Lies
Infighting?

Ji Jue was at a loss for a moment.

It seems unbelievable, not that it is hard to accept the reality, but it is hard to believe that such a makeshift situation would occur...

In the face of such tremendous external pressure and the overwhelming power of the cult, the insignificant rebels actually started fighting among themselves?

Moreover, the sword was aimed directly at the strongest fighting force in the camp...

No, what kind of plot is this about quitting the team?

Is your brain okay?
"No, it's just... a real internal conflict?"

He looked at Bao Dacai. Bao Dacai understood his look and his expression became more subtle. "Ah, this is probably... um, internal strife."

The tone was so nonchalant, as if this happened all the time.

Or maybe it was expected.

"The grass stage is normal."

Bao Dacai raised his hand, as if he subconsciously wanted to adjust his glasses, but he didn't touch them. He could only rub his eye sockets and sighed: "After all, the current camp is a hastily merged group of several resistance teams, the composition is relatively complex, and the time is too short... and Miss Wen is the most fair, never hiding anything, and never keeping the benefits private, so she was elected as the leader.

If time is longer, maybe it can stabilize, but…"

He speaks half-heartedly and has no beginning or end.

But sometimes, half is enough, Ji Jue understood.

——Just at this critical juncture, Wen Wen suddenly made a decision on her own, and then led most of the main forces out, taking great pains and sparing no expense to break into the tight encirclement of the angels.

As a result, a disabled man was dug out from the meteorite that fell from the sky and returned in embarrassment.

The losses were heavy, and the entire camp was at risk of being exposed.

"Oh, my pot."

Ji Jue suddenly realized and sighed.

In order to save themselves, they lost too many people? So much so that they were unable to suppress the backlash and division within...

At this moment, Ji Jue stood in front of the window, quietly looking at the faces, distinguishing their expressions, the anger of losing their loved ones, the hatred of betraying trust, the confusion, and more hesitation and even the uneasiness about the future...

Until, everyone's voice suddenly stopped.

In the building in the center of the camp, the door to the meeting room was wide open, and a slender figure walked out step by step from the flickering lights, with an expressionless face.

After a sleepless night, he looked a little tired, but not panicked or shaken at all.

Staring calmly at everything in front of you.

Finally, his eyes fell on the person who was shouting at the highest point in the crowd, and he asked coldly, "Lu Ting, have you had enough of the noise?"

Just a few words caused the crowd, which was almost boiling, to come to a standstill again.

This prestige and popular support are beyond doubt.

Unfortunately……

"You are still too soft-hearted, Sister Wen."

Ji Jue sighed softly.

Of course, Ji Jue respected her most for her open and straightforward style and straightforward personality. You never have to worry about her betraying you or wavering. She will always appear when you need her, but will never bring you any trouble...

But unfortunately, such people can turn the Beishan Group into a warm nest, but it is difficult for them to suppress the people's hearts that are in life-and-death crisis.

If it were Ji Jue, why would he waste time talking to this kind of person?

I thought it was a speed bump. Coastal industry is not easy either.

If you have anything to say, go talk to my underground assembly line!
"Make a fuss? Who is making a fuss? Is it me?"

The man called Lu Ting was furious: "Did I lose half of the camp's manpower because of my own stubbornness? The most valuable combat power of the entire camp was either killed on the spot and needed a long time to be resurrected, or was captured and sent to the border prison, suffering forever.

As a result, you brought back a cripple who came from nowhere! After all, this is all caused by your arbitrary decision, right?

Don’t you think you should give everyone an explanation? !”

"really."

Wen Wen remained undeterred and answered decisively: "But everyone's sacrifice is worth it."

"Ha! Even now you are still unwilling to face the reality and are still spreading those ridiculous stories!"

Lu Ting shouted angrily, stirring up more people’s indignation: “Linka’s brain is broken if she believes your letter, do you think people will believe such a ridiculous statement!

In the final analysis, is he your savior or your mistress? Do you really think everyone is a fool? "

"Lu Ting——"

At that moment, Wen Wen's expression gradually turned cold: "Some words, once spoken, you should understand what the consequences will be, right?"

If before, as a leader, he had endured the loss out of guilt, but now, his fists were clenched uncontrollably.

The sound of breaking was heard, like the air wailing.

Lu Ting subconsciously took a step back, and then he became mocking, "What's wrong? Did I hit you in the sore spot? You want to fight. After all, apart from fighting, you simply... have no leadership ability at all. Others would be stupid enough to... be afraid of you, but I... but I... what the hell are you doing?! Stop filming!"

Lu Ting turned back angrily and glared at the figure who had been patting his shoulder non-stop from the beginning.

But then, he froze in place.

In the early morning sunlight that had just risen, a dark shadow loomed over his head.

The body of the person coming was as tall as a mountain.

That handsome face looked so young, but there were still cracks on it like cracks in a rock. The faint light flickered in the cracks, looking strange and cold.

The godlike idol lowered its eyes from the altar.

Look down with contempt.

In a moment of horror, Lu Ting subconsciously took a step back: "Who are you!"

Then, I saw the smile on that face, so warm and gentle.

It's like a dream.

"I am the cripple you just mentioned."

Ji Jue reached out, patted his shoulder, and gently brushed away the non-existent dust for him. Then he moved forward as a matter of course, smiled at Wen Wen, and stepped onto the steps to take Lu Ting's place.

Standing in front of everyone.

I turned around and looked at those unfamiliar faces.

grin.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ji Jue. Maybe some of you have heard of me, but many of you haven't seen me, but it doesn't matter."

He said slowly: "Yes, that's right, as you all know, this is the only result we have brought back after paying such heavy losses and costs.

I am grateful for this. I will not turn a blind eye to your sacrifices. As a person who has been rescued, I am grateful that you risked your life for a stranger you have never met.

But before that, I must clarify one thing——"

He paused, then said solemnly and bluntly: "The rumors in the camp are actually wrong. I have not killed any angels."

In the brief silence, everyone's expression paused for a moment, then changed. They couldn't help but feel angry and questioning. But before that, they heard a voice from the highest point:
"Because it wasn't me who actually did it. The one who actually pulled the trigger and killed the angel was Linka."

The roar at the end of the dead silence didn't even have time to sound before it was suppressed again by those gentle words.

Then came uncontrollable whispering, suspicion, confusion, and even scrutiny.

Linka's face flushed with excitement in the crowd. She wanted to speak, but couldn't. She noticed the gazes of the people around her, and all she could do was nod firmly.

Use your own observations and credibility to support Ji Jue's words.

The faces were changing slightly, and no one noticed that the focus had quietly shifted from the losses caused by Wen Wen to whether the angel was dead or not.

Only Lu Ting was furious. He tried hard to push Ji Jue away, but found that it was as if he was pushing against a block of iron, and hit an iron wall, with no reaction at all.

"Is it fun to play with lips and tongue?"

He raised his voice, interrupting Ji Jue, and roared: "Both sides are ridiculous lies, and they are all bullshit. What's the difference between you killing him or Linka killing him?"

"Yes, brother, yes."

Ji Jue didn't take it as an offense, and continued to smile, even a little warmer. It was just like looking at a naughty child in the classroom, even with a hint of doting.

He can actually come to my doorstep to be my supporting actor?
It's so kind of you.

Unfortunately, with this kind of brain, it is basically time to say goodbye to rebellion. He is just a pure tool.

"This can only explain one thing."

Ji Jue raised a finger and pointed it at the sky. Then, he passed it across the faces in front of him: "I can make Linka do it, and I can also make anyone here do it, no matter who it is, you, you, or you... From now on, anyone here can pick up a weapon and fight their enemies to the death.

I will bring about a turning point, I will bring about real change -

I promise that as long as you still have the courage to take up arms, as long as you have not given up in your heart, victory will eventually belong to you!

Belongs to everyone who dares to draw a sword against the so-called gods!"

The powerful words echoed in the silence, back and forth, and such a decisive tone reached everyone's ears. However, compared with the incredible descriptions in the rumors, they were completely different.

When I looked at that face with a gentle smile, I inexplicably felt an unprecedented sense of security and steadiness, as if I had really seen the scene of an angel falling, and could really touch such a future.

Although it was ridiculous, he seemed to be serious about it. What if it was true? What if...

Longing to believe, longing to be relieved, longing for the long suffering to come to an end.

Even the most determined people want to believe in the existence of hope...

So-called faith.

Outside the crowd, Bao Dacai looked strange, hesitant to speak: No, your trick, how come it looks so familiar? Brother, you seem to be playing the same trick as the other party...

But what does it matter if they are the same?

It just works!

At this moment, when the focus of the crowd shifted to Ji Jue, listening to the absurd and bizarre promise, Wen Wen, as the leader, did not feel any anger at the violation of her authority, but instead felt faintly relieved.

If the scene was right, she would immediately ask someone to bring the yellow clothes and put it on Mr. Ji.

The Beishan area alone was enough to overwhelm her, not to mention leading all the rebels? If she hadn't had a choice before, she really didn't want to shoulder this burden.

When he was determined to rescue Ji Jue, he also had the idea and plan of passing on the blame.

Amid the flurry of whispers, only Lu Ting looked around in surprise and finally realized that something was wrong.

It was as if, with just a moment of distraction, he had fallen into a trap... and when that pair of eyes with a hint of smile looked at him, he could no longer hold back, and felt a chill all over his body.

"Bullshit, it's all bullshit!!"

He roared hoarsely: "You are all talking nonsense. Wen Wen, that woman, and you, in order to hold on to power, you can say any shameless words, even such a ridiculous lie. Don't be fooled by him——"

"Well, indeed."

Ji Jue nodded decisively, full of approval.

Once again, he stood there in a daze, stunned.

"From other people's perspectives, this suspicion and possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, if it were someone else, they would have done something even more exaggerated and outrageous to protect their power after causing such heavy losses."

Ji Jue sighed: "But, after all, isn't it very simple to verify whether it is true or not?"

He paused for a moment, looking at the talented and beautiful woman who was delivered to his doorstep, and suddenly suggested: "Wouldn't it be fine if you just come with me to kill a so-called 'angel'?"

Lu Ting hesitated, as if he had no reaction.

Hesitated for a moment, stiff.

"Don't look back."

Ji Jue reminded considerately: "Don't look back at this time. If everyone finds out who you are looking at, doesn't it mean that you are just a pawn pushed to the front?"

"You're talking nonsense. I don't even..."

Lu Ting subconsciously wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Ji Jue indifferently: "Unfortunately, in my opinion... with your intelligence, you are not yet at the level of being able to take advantage of the camp's losses to contact all the dissatisfied people overnight and then incite everyone."

Lu Ting roared: "I am here on behalf of everyone!"

"What are you waiting for?!"

Ji Jue grinned, squeezed his hand, and extended an invitation enthusiastically: "Since you are representing everyone, what is there to hesitate about?
——Now, immediately, right away, let’s go!”

Lu Ting's neck could no longer be restrained and he wanted to turn back.

Unfortunately, I only saw an indifferent face in the crowd.

A silent sigh.

What a useless thing, it was turned into a toy in just a few words. It's a complete straw bag. But apart from this straw bag, where can you find such a useful tool?
Fortunately, it is enough.

As a cover, they gathered so many people here and brought out that guy...

That ordinary face suddenly grinned.

The hands hidden behind his back clenched silently.

In an instant, the earth shook and there was a loud roar. Just around the square, a shed suddenly burst into flames without warning. The explosion was swept by flames and air waves, and countless fragments were poured out like a rainstorm.

In a flash, there was wailing in the square. Countless people were lifted up and fell by the impact, and broken limbs and corpses flew everywhere. Even though it was a dream without death, the cruelty of the pain was even more prominent.

Scarlet blood, pieces of flesh, bones and even heads fell like rain.

In an instant, the peaceful camp turned into hell!
At that moment, Wen Wen's face changed drastically.

Because in front of Ji Jue, the dazed Lu Ting suddenly... swelled up like a balloon, his face still showing confusion and doubt, as if he had no idea what was going on.

It was like a balloon, bursting.

Amidst the flying of flesh and blood, a broken head was pulling at strange tentacles, as if some monster had hatched inside the body and was mutating rapidly.

The strange tentacles that looked like those of a squid suddenly opened and entangled with Ji Jue's body, then quickly tightened, revealing the hideous mouthparts in the middle.

However, a strange smile appeared on that alienated head, and brilliant golden light appeared in the empty pupils.

“Bliss…bliss…”

Lu Ting's face was dull as he murmured, immersed in the wonderful heaven he had once experienced, his tentacles dancing in ecstasy.

A faint halo rose from above his head.

So divine.

Wen Wen's face suddenly changed and she rushed forward.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

because……

Ji Jue has already done it himself.

click!
A teeth-grinding sound of metallic friction emerged from Ji Jue's body, sparks flew, as if he had bitten into a lump of iron, almost breaking a mouthful of teeth.

As the tentacles entangled him, the cracked face gradually curled up into a smile, so pleasant.

You came just in time...

The preciousness of the material has increased a lot now!
It's a pity that the occasion is wrong and I lack too many tools. Anyway, let's try it first. The things I felt before and the skills I learned from them...

boom!
The huge monster suddenly swelled, turned around, and expanded its mouthparts, trying to completely swallow Ji Jue into its stomach, but before that, its movements suddenly stiffened.

It was as if frozen, and then, it was as if it was grasped by an invisible hand!
It twisted rapidly, at a speed visible to the naked eye, and collapsed inward rapidly, as if a black hole suddenly appeared in its body and was devouring it from the inside out.

No matter how hard you struggle.

Unfortunately, there are no black holes.

But there is something more terrifying than a black hole, pressing on its body—an outstretched steel mechanical arm, and even a spiritual hand faintly emerging from the steel hand!

"Varied……"

Outside the chaotic crowd, the old man who was watching quietly from a distance, who called himself a craftsman who made a fortune, widened his eyes at that moment.

The sudden explosion and attack did not seem to shake his concentration. In fact, at the moment of the explosion, he skillfully tripped the confused Yu Shu beside him to the ground to prevent a flying brick from directly blowing Doctor Yu's head off.

At this moment, he was concentrating on watching all the changes in the field.

I can't take care of anything else.

In his turbid eyes, there were reflected changes in the bubbles that were hard for ordinary people to see. All kinds of brilliant rainbow lights were wrapped around Ji Jue's hands, rising up like flames!

It is eroding this dreamland all the time, spreading outward and swallowing everything.

No, it wasn't swallowed up, it was covered up!

Overlaid on reality.

No matter how old your eyesight is, you can't tell the difference.

That's why he behaved so out of control.

"It's really scary, this talent..."

Just a few hours, no, even earlier!
If what Linka said was correct, within ten minutes of waking up, he had already instinctively grasped the crucial structure and even the core elements of this dream without any hints or information...

——【Awakening】!
