The dagger debut had concluded with great success, just not within Lu Shu's expectations.
However, the first showing of killer weapons were supposed to be spectacular and magnificent, right? Why did it end up like this? Lu Shu turned his gaze to the halved statue, were you just showing you can slice things?
Speaking of which, who was that statue of? Why did the dagger insist on slashing him? Was there enmity between them? Could it be Lord Lu Ya's enemy?
Lu Shu suddenly started guessing whether it was anyone from the Investiture of the Gods, but gave up after merely two seconds. How could it possibly be the deity-slaying flying dagger? The legendary killer weapon would never be so unreliable.
If it was indeed, the Lord must have disassembled it to vent his anger!
Wait... Was it not the case that the gourd was separated from the flying dagger since the very start... It was totally possible!
No, no way! This did not make any sense at all!
Lu Shu shook his head in denial.
Lu Xiaoyu hesitated for a long moment before quipping, "Was this what you wanted to show me? I would say like owner, like dagger..."
"Hey!" Lu Shu barked, "Are you being sarcastic?!"
"You don't say, " Lu Xiaoyu sat down and played with her phone.
Connected to the wifi in the bedroom next door, Xiaoyu started watching Naruto. Never had they expected that the Heavenly Network was so considerate as to equip the safe house with all these convenient facilities.
Many tourists might find it inconvenient to travel in Thailand. In order to cater to their needs, some hotels had reinforced their basic services, including Internet and daily necessities. But in some others, even tooth brushes, towels, shampoo and body wash were not provided.
Honestly speaking, it was indeed substandard when compared to China, where toiletries and shampoo alike were basic items available in every decent hotel.
Moreover, the food there could not suit everybody's taste. Most tourists would regret not bringing cup noodles after a few days in Thailand.
This was due to the sour, sweet and spicy flavor of local dishes, which the Chinese found rather difficult to get used to. Thus, after one meal there, it had left Lu Xiaoyu resorting to cup noodles...
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly frowned, shifting her gaze to the ground. She sensed an earth-type Practitioner's spirit passing underneath!
In fact, just a while ago, what escaped from the split statue was a dying spirit, which was killed by the flying dagger in the same slash, but Lu Xiaoyu had not told Lu Shu about it.
Hence, in her perception, the true target of the dagger was the spirit, not the statue.
Now, she was displeased. It was not a big deal to clash into other earth-type Metahumans underground, but what were they doing underneath their house?! Moreover, what was more intolerable was the person's attempt to peek above the surface.
Without hesitation, Lu Xiaoyu beckoned Anthony over and, covered his foolish smile with her pink mask. In the next instance, Anthony sank into the floor with his pink mask and chased off the earth-type Metahuman.
The Metahuman in front became flustered by the pursuer. Judging from his incredible speeds, his identity was clear, he was the Class B pro and he was about to catch up!
However, with the fluke that this pro might be a peace-lover based on his lack of reactions earlier, the man thought it would be just fine to make way for the expert behind him.
All of a sudden, all the earth elements around him solidified under Anthony's control and trapped him inside. Then, without a word, Anthony started looking for something underground while dragging the giant soil ball behind...
Unable to move inside, the earth-type Metahuman became Anthony's prisoner and followed him around to wherever he went...
But what the hell were you doing?
Soon, he realized the pro had just captured another earth-type Metahuman that was active underground...
Within minutes, there was another one...
Like candied haws on a stick, the earth-type Metahumans were chained into one line, moving after Anthony one after another.
All attempts at resistance were rendered futile by the difference in their power.
How desperate...
Did anyone cause the pro any inconvenience?!
Able to see through the earth, the Metahumans exchanged confused looks with one another. One of them gestured, what's going on?
The other one replied, your guess is as good as mine...
The usual solution to a conflict underground would be a fight. But now, Anthony clearly held the advantage over the rest. Just like chicks lining up in front of an eagle, they were totally on different levels...
Meanwhile, Lu Shu was in shock, "What's happening? Why are there so many distress points! They are from various countries and some more..."
English, Korean, German, Japanese, French, Portuguese... There were already nine languages in his background panel!
What?! Did he do the public wrong? He hadn't done anything yet!
Lu Shu started reflecting on his life, about whether he had done something that might evoke public anger...
Satisfied, Lu Xiaoyu controlled Anthony to lead the line towards the empty space near an underground water drainage system.
The dozen of earth-type Metahumans followed Anthony's orders closely and queued up in the sewers, like a bunch of kids getting punished by their teacher. Then, the pro made his first appearance, but his black foggy form startled everyone present. Could he be a double awakening Metahuman? Subconsciously they had associated Anthony's foggy body to another awakened power...
Class B status was already scary enough, coupled with the fact that he had two powers... The Metahuman prisoners were even more careful in behaving themselves now.
However... Why are you naked?! And you are wearing a mask? For what? Unwilling to be recognized while being a streaker...?
That reminded them of a common joke. If you were seen naked, would you cover the top half or the bottom half? The correct answer was face, as you would not want anyone to recognize who you were...
But now, despite the resemblance to the joke, everyone was seized by fear at the sight of Anthony's pink little mask...
Could he be a pervert?!
A chill went down everybody's spine. Could he have some peculiar fetish?!
Just when the thought set in, the pro started touching one of them without concern for their feelings. Everyone was terrified and sent another series of +999 distress points to Lu Shu. Hence, Lu Shu was thrown into another round of reflection despite having confirmed his innocence...
Then, they could only stare as all their money was taken away by the pro, including the coins!
However, they were relieved to keep their chastity.
A line of English appeared using the deep sea white sand."Everyday underground run around, buy CTALI?"
CTALI stood for 'Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance', with a particular emphasis on the word "Compulsory".
Right. So that was the point.
