Warning (Chapter 124)
When Ye Sheng's eyes met Erensu's, she felt like a cat with its fur standing on end.
In an instant, she couldn't think of anything else but to run.
Even though there was still a familiar feeling lingering in her heart, her instincts immediately kicked in!!!
It had to be said that the legendary big shot was indeed terrifying. Even from such a distance, just one glance was enough to make her legs go weak. Her body, which had just risen, slowly sank back down.
She didn't dare to look any longer.
She was scared out of her wits.
Like the proverbial ostrich burying its head in the sand, she crouched back down between the seats. Once Erensu was out of sight, Ye Sheng glanced at the unconscious Mo Lin beside her and felt an inexplicable sense of envy.
She really wished she could be unconscious too!!!
(ಥ_ಥ)
Silently, she hugged her pitiful and helpless self.
However, the hand that gripped the throat of fate refused to let go easily.
As the clear sound of footsteps approached, the tapping of heels on the ground seemed to strike her heart, one beat after another, making her heart tremble with discomfort.
I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!
Ye Sheng fearfully placed a hand on her chest, trying to calm her wildly beating heart. At this moment, she had no thoughts of rushing out to fight for her life.
The reason was simple, she couldn't win!
Forced by necessity, she could only choose to activate her golden finger, which had been dormant for a long time, and entered double-point lottery mode.
She didn't expect to defeat Erensu with the lottery golden finger, but she hoped it would help her escape danger and save her life!
[2000 points deducted, double-point lottery completed]
The mechanical reminder came as usual. When Ye Sheng felt the sudden weight in her hand, she immediately opened the slightly ajar box and took out the item.
[Spider Queen's Web (One-time use): A web meticulously woven by the Spider Queen from the abyss, imbued with slowing and fainting effects, along with a random additional special effect! Just toss it lightly, and your target will have nowhere to escape. Also suitable for Bdsm play between couples~ (Note: The base capture success rate is 70%. The stronger the prey, the easier it is for them to evade. Best used when they least expect it.)]
Ye Sheng felt something sticky on her fingers.
When she looked down, she saw that the item in her hand was a gooey, grayish lump, resembling a slug...
However, when she read the item description, her eyes lit up.
Perfect!
This was exactly what she needed right now~
Since she couldn't win in a fight, she'd just have to find a way to escape!
As for the other people at the auction... Ye Sheng felt that compared to them, her life was in greater danger.
After all, she was still conscious!
(；′⌒`)
"Am I that scary?"
Just as Ye Sheng felt her life was somewhat secure, the footsteps that seemed to tread on her heartstrings came to a halt.
Then, an invisible force lifted her chin, forcing Ye Sheng to raise her head and expose her face to the newcomer... But even though her face was exposed, Ye Sheng silently lowered her gaze.
Like a victim kidnapped by a criminal, as long as she didn't see the bad guy's face, she wouldn't be killed.
Although, it was true that she didn't dare to look at Erensu, it was also an act!
After all, the eyes are the windows to the soul, and there was a high chance they could give her away.
She wasn't sure how keen Erensu's observational skills were, so she worried her acting might falter.
Thus, she chose the safest approach, waiting for an opportunity.
"Do you want to know why you didn't fall unconscious like the others?"
Even though Ye Sheng didn't respond, the words that followed from Erensu's mouth immediately perked up her ears. Her dark eyes were filled with resentment as she desperately wanted to know the answer: "Why?"
Why was she the only one who was so different!!!
However, Erensu's voice was hoarse, sounding strange... It gave off a weird feeling, as if it wasn't her real voice but a disguise.
But then again, considering Erensu's power, Ye Sheng quickly dismissed her own speculation.
She wasn't some important figure.
The legendary Erensu was a capricious big shot who could kill anyone at will. Why would she need to disguise herself in front of Ye Sheng...
It's just that this big shot seemed quite talkative.
Didn't she know that villains often die because they talk too much?
As she thought about this, Ye Sheng unconsciously frowned, feeling like she had forgotten something.
But the fear of being stared down by a predator left her mind blank, unable to recall anything.
All she could think about was using the item to trap Erensu as quickly as possible!
The 'predator' threatening Ye Sheng didn't immediately reveal the answer. Instead, she looked at Ye Sheng with a smile, then spoke leisurely: "Look up at me, and I'll tell you why."
Although she had disguised her voice, Erensu... or rather, Gu Luoyu, had already withdrawn the psychic abilities she usually surrounded herself with, as if shedding a disguise to reveal her true self.
In the past, those who had seen Gu Luoyu, despite her distinctive features, never associated her with Erensu, all thanks to the influence of her psychic abilities.
Simply put, it was a small hypnotic trick, activated passively.
It made people reject the connection between the two.
Now, without the influence of her psychic abilities, at such close range, if Ye Sheng were a bit braver, she would have noticed the discrepancy with just one glance.
This was also why Gu Luoyu said that looking up would reveal the answer.
Although she really wanted to tease Ye Sheng a bit more, she thought about the mess she'd have to clean up later... The consequences of angering Ye Sheng weren't something she could easily handle.
Thus, Gu Luoyu regretfully shrugged and decided to tease her just a little.
She hoped she wouldn't end up getting punched by Ye Sheng's little fists later...
Unlike the relaxed Gu Luoyu, Ye Sheng quietly swallowed her saliva and said in a faint voice, "Alright, please don't kill me. I can pretend I didn't see anything, and I definitely won't tell anyone..."
As she spoke, Ye Sheng slowly raised her gaze, as if in slow motion.
Her usually bright black eyes were now clouded with a layer of mist, showing her anxiety and unease, but she was trying her best to stay calm.
This greatly attracted Gu Luoyu's attention.
And it was at this moment.
A gray lump flew out of Ye Sheng's hand, heading straight for Gu Luoyu.
In an instant, it transformed into a dense spider web, rushing toward her.
The sticky web was dotted with blue-green droplets that fell to the ground, making a sizzling sound.
It even had corrosive properties!
Ye Sheng, who finally looked directly at the web, nervously watched it, hoping it would succeed... Huh???
It failed!!!
As expected of the formidable Esper, Erensu, the moment she sensed something was wrong, she swiftly dodged with incredible agility, causing the Spider Queen's Web to miss its target.
Without ensnaring its prey, the gray web quickly dissipated.
As if it had never existed.
However, Ye Sheng wasn't paying attention to the web at this moment.
Instead, she widened her eyes as she looked at Erensu. She blinked in disbelief, thinking she must be seeing things.
Then, she tentatively asked, "Gu Luoyu?"
"Mhm, you finally recognized me!"
"!!!"
At this point, Gu Luoyu stopped disguising her voice. Hearing this, Ye Sheng was completely stunned.
Then, she thought about how Gu Luoyu had previously mentioned that she had come up with a good plan.
So, she had been pretending to be Erensu...
She had even fooled Ye Sheng, let alone everyone else.
She was truly a master of deception!!!
"We can talk about my situation later. Let's discuss that spider web first!"
Before Ye Sheng could speak, Gu Luoyu cut in.
Her eyebrows raised, and her red eyes sparkled as she began to probe into Ye Sheng's special secret.
