The Lazy Demon King Definitely Won’t Meet the Retired Sword Saint – Chapter 379

Sparks suddenly flew from an inconspicuous electronic device on the man’s body.

“Who are you!” Although looking directly into Leticia’s eyes, the man did not immediately lose consciousness like his subordinates. His gaze remained clear, as if ignoring Leticia’s hypnotic ability.

This was not normal.

This man was just an ordinary person, and all the thugs standing here were ordinary people. A one-second gaze from an ordinary person towards Leticia would cause them to be dragged into a dream indistinguishable from reality by the power of a god.

That was how the thugs who brought hostages out of the mall acted. In their eyes, they were following their leader’s orders and taking the hostages to where their leader was. But in reality, they had walked right into a trap.

And now, this man, an ordinary person, had resisted Leticia’s hypnotic ability. Not only had he resisted, but he had resisted for a long time.

“Interesting.” After looking at the man for nearly ten seconds, Leticia let out a soft laugh. Being able to meet her gaze for so long could not be described as extraordinary talent.

Even if Bai Ling were here, she would have already entered a state of light hypnosis and felt a bit dizzy.

Although, she could also break free from this soft control state immediately when encountering danger.

But this man was completely unaffected. It was impossible for him to have immunity to her control skills, right? It wasn’t that Leticia looked down on him, but this person was truly not capable. He had no peculiar energy within him at all.

Since it wasn’t his own strength, then his ability to resist her powers should be the effect of an external item.

Thinking this, Leticia’s gaze fell on the electronic device connected to the man’s collar, which was currently spewing sparks. It seemed to be overloaded right after she used her ability.

Even an idiot should have guessed that this thing was related to the man’s unusual behavior by now.

“I feel a somewhat familiar energy fluctuation.” Bai Ling, who was controlling the hazy starlight,also walked out of the darkness. She stared at the electronic device on the man’s body connected to his collar, with a thoughtful expression.

If she wasn’t mistaken, this energy fluctuation was very similar to the mental barrier that the white-haired woman from the God Seat had cast on her before. It was precisely because of that mental barrier that she was able to suppress the Dream God in battle and even wound him heavily with a single sword strike.

Moving closer, Bai Ling carefully examined the electronic device and said to Leticia, “It should be something from the God Seat.”

“You mean this person is a member of the God Seat?” Leticia muttered softly, but then immediately denied her own guess. She hadn’t met many people from the God Seat, but each of them was highly skilled. This man clearly didn’t belong to the category of highly skilled individuals.

If he wasn’t from the God Seat but was carrying something from the God Seat, was he perhaps someone hired by the God Seat?

But how much courage would one need to take on this kind of job? Wasn’t the mortality rate for this kind of work close to 100%?

“What those people said was indeed correct. There are indeed ability users in the Hero Association who manipulate the mind. Heh, but your abilities are useless against me!” The man seemed to remember something, and his expression became confident. “The device on me is connected to the collar around my neck. Once it’s destroyed, my collar will automatically detonate, killing me.”

“Then you die. A person like you deserves to die.” Leticia couldn’t understand why this guy, whose life was in their hands, would show such a confident expression.

Did this person think that he could blow them both up with this collar? The explosive power of this thing couldn’t possibly be that strong.

Just think about it. This collar was worn by them. If they were to shoot each other from afar, and if they were unlucky enough for one of them to die, and then trigger a chain reaction, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Everything would blow up with a crackle and pop, and their enemies would say that they only killed one of their own, while all the other enemies committed suicide.

So, the explosive power of this collar couldn’t be much greater, at most equivalent to a grenade.

“But my collar is bound to the bomb detonation device. Once the signal from my collar disappears, the bomb will enter a thirty-second detonation countdown. Can you escape within thirty seconds? Can you take these hostages with you?” The man grinned, revealing a cruel smile. “You haven’t saved all the hostages yet.”

“Tsk.” Leticia admitted that this was indeed a problem. The reason she came here at this time was that the deadline set by these thugs was approaching, and she had to come here to rescue the hostages.

This was the place where the hostages were being killed. There were still some hostages in other locations, but those were not execution sites, so those hostages were still relatively safe.

And now, those hostages had become a difficult problem.

If she didn’t hypnotize the man in front of her, she wouldn’t be able to get the location of the hostages. Although she could use her senses to search, these guys even had signal jamming devices, and Leticia and Bai Ling had been tricked by these things several times before.

“These people… Ah, found them. They’re remnants of the Hundred-Legged Blades, huh?” At this moment, the information support from Xiao Lu finally arrived. “No wonder they dared to do this. I see.”

Organizations in normal dark zones would naturally not dare to take on this kind of job. But the Hundred-Legged Blades were at their wit’s end. Their lower-level organizations were completely destroyed, their mid-level elites were either dead or had fled, leaving only the higher-ups who were still trying to hide.

The Hero Association had received intelligence that the higher-ups of this organization had left Central City and had put the matter aside, not paying much attention to it. If they had escaped Central City, how could they manage it?

It was possible to hunt them down, but doing so would be too much. The Hero Association also wanted to give face to the leader of the Silver Moon Society, letting him take revenge on his enemies.

Unexpectedly, there were still remnants of the Hundred-Legged Blades left in Central City, and they had done something like this.

“Hiss, what about the other few locations? Are they their people too?” Leticia took a sharp breath. Were these guys the organization that had cooperated with Yin before?

“It shouldn’t be. They don’t have that many remnants,” Xiao Lu replied decisively. “The negotiations in the other locations have completely broken down, and they have entered the assault phase.”

Good heavens, so it really was a breakdown in negotiations and an assault. Leticia realized how righteous these guys in Central City were. In such a short time, they had given up hope and decided to fight to the death.

Since you want to cause trouble, then you should leave this world forever. You still want to walk away with the ransom? Don’t even think about it.

We’d rather pay compensation than let you lawless scoundrels get even a little bit of benefit!

“Actually, we originally planned to stall for more time in other locations, but there were also ominous signs appearing in the Central City district, so…” Xiao Lu finished speaking. She didn’t need to say the latter half of her sentence.

Compared to the elites in Central City, the hostages here were not that important.

They had to quickly resolve the situation here and then return to Central City to provide support.

“Something happened in Central City too? Now?” Leticia was somewhat surprised. Could this be the God Seat’s plan?

Such a simple plan?

Cause disturbances in other places to tie up the forces that could support Central City, and then the main force directly attacks. This plan was too simple and crude.

“No, it’s Xiao Xia. She saw some future scenes through her abilities. She said she saw the government building collapsing in flames, and you all know how accurate her prophecies are, Qian Qian.”

“I see.” The role of the leader was indeed very powerful. Her presence often made the enemy’s schemes completely ineffective.

I have a cheat that can peek at the script, what can you use to fight me?

“Is there a specific time?” Bai Ling’s expression became much more serious. She also knew the importance of Central City. It could be said that all the other districts in Central City combined were not as important as Central City.

It housed a large number of administrative agencies, the core forces of Central City were stationed there, the future of Central City was there, a large number of higher education institutions, a large number of training institutions, it was the heart of Central City!

“Not yet. The Hero Association has already dispatched heroes to guard the government building, and the military has entered a state of first-level combat readiness. The staff in the building have already begun to evacuate. Even if the other side wants to launch a strong attack… I don’t think those people would do something so self-defeating.” Xiao Lu replied.

It seemed the situation was still under official control.

“If you want to go help, then go. I’m enough here by myself.” Leticia glanced at the somewhat restless Bai Ling, pondered for a moment, and spoke, “This place has been basically dealt with. Your role here is not significant. It would be better to go to Central City to help.”

At this moment, the only ones not controlled were the man in front of her and the few thugs whose whereabouts were unknown. Leticia could handle these people by herself.

Moreover, the external support had already entered the mall, and the situation here had been brought under control.

At this time, leaving Bai Ling, who was a reckless person with only combat power and no functional abilities, here was truly useless. It would be better for her to go to where she was needed and play her role.

The guardian deity of humanity should now go and protect the symbol of human society.

“I…” Bai Ling’s eyes showed some struggle. Although reason told her that she was no longer needed here and should go to a place where she was more needed, she was somewhat unwilling to leave.

It was a bit embarrassing to admit, but she felt a bit reluctant to leave Leticia’s side.

“Don’t make that face. You have your own responsibilities. Don’t forget that you are…” Leticia patted Bai Ling’s face and whispered in her ear, “the Sword Saint.”

“Go, or do you think I can’t handle this situation?”

“Hmph, be careful with everything.” Bai Ling gritted her teeth, reason suppressing emotion, and nodded heavily.

She lightly touched Leticia’s forehead and, before the black-haired girl could react, she drew back without hesitation and melted into the darkness.

With a flash of starlight, the white-haired girl had disappeared.

“This guy, her performance today is a bit off.” Leticia touched her forehead and sighed helplessly. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Bai Ling was a bit too emotional just now.

This was not normal. That person named Bai would usually not act like this.

Taking out her phone and sending a message to Yin, Leticia shifted her gaze back to the man in front of her. This guy had seen some things he shouldn’t have seen just now.

Perhaps she should find a way to make him stay here forever? A casual excuse like him suddenly attacking her and her having no choice but to kill him in self-defense should suffice, right?

As for the hostages and the bombs in the mall? Since Bai Ling had already left, why should she, Leticia, act so compassionate?

She had already rescued more than half of the hostages, which was considered exceeding expectations. The hostages in other places might not even have their bodies intact. She, the Demon King, had done her best. It was not a problem to be willful at this moment, right?

Without Bai Ling, the limiter, by her side, Leticia’s thoughts immediately slid down into the abyss, which was where she was accustomed to staying.

Being scrutinized by Leticia’s gaze, the man surprisingly began to sweat on his forehead. He realized that the cute little girl in front of him was not as harmless as she appeared.

Beneath this sheep-like exterior, there was definitely a ferocious monster hidden.

He dared to guarantee that if this girl wanted to be a villain, she would definitely be among the worst of villains.

“What do you want? Don’t you want those hostages’ lives anymore?”

“It doesn’t matter. Saving a few more people won’t get me much bonus pay. A few deaths are inconsequential.” Leticia replied as if it were natural. She looked around. The hostages here had already been taken away by other hypnotized thugs. The only ones left were this leader and his subordinate.

Crackled, sparks also appeared on the subordinate’s body.

It seemed this guy also had that self-destruct device.

“You, aren’t you afraid of this being spread?” The man’s pupils trembled. The situation had completely slipped out of his control. This girl truly didn’t care about the lives of the hostages.

“I’m talking so much to you because one of my friends had previously collaborated with you, so I had a slight interest in you. And now, I can only say that I am very disappointed,” Leticia snapped her fingers, and several sharp icicles emerged from the air, slowly probing towards the man’s vital points.

At the same time, she opened her communicator. “The enemy has a self-destruct dev…”

“Wait!”
