Cindy turned hurriedly and stared at Chen Zhao’s “corpse.”
This also gave Warrencom’s group time to breathe.
They were all confused why Cindy suddenly stopped attacking.
To her, Warrencom’s group was nothing.
But she had a deep understanding of how terrifying Chen Zhao was.
He was her true worry.
Finally, Chen Zhao raised his head subtly.
“Uh… I’m just playing dead. Can you not keep staring at me?”
Everyone was speechless. Do you have to be so into playing dead?
Cindy could accept this even less. She’d drowned Chen Zhao for more than ten minutes but couldn’t kill him?
To be honest, Chen Zhao was confused why he didn’t drown to death either.
But dying or not wasn’t the point.
The point was that he discovered he could breathe underwater.
This was a surprising and critical discovery. He didn’t have to be afraid of drowning anymore.
At least, he knew that he definitely couldn’t do this before.
As for why he suddenly could, it was probably related to eating that key.
He’d have to taste the other keys later.
But he was still quite disappointed.
He’d thought that the key had some great concept, but in the end, it just gave him some fish ability. It was so stupid.
Cindy was furious. She felt like she’d gotten played.
“Go die!” In that instant, the millions of rain droplets shot at Chen Zhao.
Pitter patter—
Chen Zhao felt that his skin had thickened a lot.
The rain hurt when it hit his skin, but it only hurt.
He hurriedly dove into the water and the rain lost its effect.
On the roof, Warrencom and the others were extremely nervous.
Chen Zhao and Cindy both disappeared from sight.
This unsettled them.
“Boss, can that guy survive?”
“It’s hard. The Fallen’s water spell is too strong. It’s impossible to defeat her here.” Warrencom wished that Chen Zhao would win, but logic told him that it was impossible.
“That Asian doesn’t seem to be an average person. He can survive the Fallen’s attacks.”
“He’s good at taking hits, but it’ll only delay his death.” Warrencom shook his head. “If he didn’t get discovered to be playing dead and worked with us to attack the Fallen secretly, there might’ve been a chance for success. But now that he’s been discovered, there’s little hope.”
Underwater
A water current attacked Chen Zhao again, tugging at him.
But now, Chen Zhao was able to breathe underwater like fish.
Other than controlling his body, the current wasn’t very meaningful anymore.
He wanted to open his mouth to mock Cindy.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, water poured into him.
Cough, cough…
As expected, he could only breathe with his nose. His mouth couldn’t breathe.
He’d almost went overboard with showing off again.
Cindy realized that Chen Zhao wasn’t feeling uncomfortable at all right now.
He just went with the flow without struggling.
Did he know water spells too?
Cindy’s expression turned ugly.
Her biggest and most powerful weapon was useless against Chen Zhao.
Finally, he felt that the water current restraining him weakened.
He got ready. It was finally his turn.
Pumping in the water, he charged toward Cindy.
Cindy was confident that she would be faster than Chen Zhao in the water.
Confidence was good, but the thing was, she didn’t know enough about Chen Zhao.
A ball of Dark Serum suddenly loomed over her head.
Chen Zhao had been tricking Cindy before.
He’d put the Dark Shadow above Cindy’s head on the water surface, but Cindy’s attention had always been on him. She didn’t expect that Chen Zhao’s attack would come so suddenly.
When the Dark Shadow enveloped her, everything else would be too late.
Chen Zhao grabbed Cindy’s neck and dragged her out of the water.
Warrencom’s group was in disbelief.
That guy didn’t die?
And what was that in his hand?
The Fallen?
He won? How was that possible?
How did he do it?
Holding Cindy, Chen Zhao swam to dry land.
“Whoo… Being alive is great.” Chen Zhao took out a can of beer. “Ah, drinking beer after a victory feels so nice.”
He glanced at Cindy and sprayed beer onto her face. “Hey, stop playing dead.”
Cindy opened her eyes. She’d indeed been playing dead.
She’d thought that Chen Zhao would think of their past friendship.
As long as he let go, she’d have a chance to escape.
But Chen Zhao didn’t give her that chance at all.
Cindy glared at him.
“Threaten me. Say something like if I kill you, so-and-so would take revenge for you.”
Cindy: “…”
“Or you can beg for forgiveness, like, ‘Mr. Chen, I was forced to do this. I had no choice…’”
Warrencom: “…”
“Not that either? I really anticipated this part though. I might’ve let you go.” Chen Zhao was disappointed.
The others looked at him speechlessly. How come this guy couldn’t be more serious?
“Anyway, did you create this storm?” Chen Zhao asked.
“You think I’m that strong?” Cindy replied.
“Right, you’re just a little shrimp. I overestimated you.” Chen Zhao shook his head. “She’s yours.”
“Mr. Chen, how about you just kill her?”
“Look, I have a bottom line too. First, she’s a little girl. Second, you can say we were acquaintances before. I can’t do it,” Chen Zhao said. “You guys don’t look like good people, so you should be able to do this without feeling bad, right?”
You are the bad guy.
And we even wanted to save you at first!
“Shove a bomb into her mouth. She’ll die even if she’s made of steel.”
Fear showed on Cindy’s face. When Warrencom’s group looked at Chen Zhao, it was like staring at a demon.
He said he was a good person and had a bottom line, but his solution was so cruel.
“Anyway, can the Fallen recover their senses?” Chen Zhao asked.
Everyone stared at him. Wasn’t it too late to ask this critical question?
“Technically, killing the source of the Fallen can deactivate their Fallen mindset.”
“I see. Looks like you don’t have to die, Cindy. Happy?”
Cindy turned her head without speaking.
“But bringing her along is like dead weight,” Warrencom said.
“Right… Then let’s just kill her.”
Warrencom was honestly speechless. Was this guy a true demon?
If he was a good guy, shouldn’t he say, “No matter what, I’ll help you take care of her?”
“Okay, I was just kidding.” Chen Zhao chuckled. “Come, open your mouth.”
Not caring if Cindy was willing or not, he clenched her chin and the Dark Serum flowed into her mouth.
