Apocalypse I Have One More Keyword Than Others
Chapter 509 - - 462 Shocking Thunder_2
—————✧✧✧✧—————
Mo Shengmin seemed to be persuaded. He cleaved at Xu Wan and then abruptly retreated several steps, holding the machete and vigilantly watching the mecha not far away.
Xu Wan watched Mo Shengmin, her expression calm and unreadable, unsure of what she was thinking.
At this time, Duge and Nalan Li also walked over, while Wang Zheng piloted the mecha, still standing in the distance.
He dared not approach closer; from a distance, he could use firepower to cover, but once close, the movements of Xu Wan and the others were too fast, and he feared he couldn’t react in time.
“Nalan, contact our people to seal the mouths,” Luo Yan instructed Nalan Li.
Nalan Li nodded and picked up the walkie-talkie to arrange for the clean-up crew.
Only then did Luo Yan turn to Mo Shengmin, “Let’s go, come to your place for a visit.”
“I killed people,” Mo Shengmin said.
“…” Luo Yan paused in his steps.
“More than one,” Mo Shengmin continued.
“Why?” Luo Yan thought of his performance on the combat net and couldn’t help but frown.
If Xu Wan was right, and this guy killed innocents for growth, then he was a ticking time bomb. Such a person couldn’t be left in his team, not even sent to the front lines. What if he turned on his own people?
“The one I possessed was paralyzed in bed and couldn’t move,” Mo Shengmin said. “The welfare home sent someone to take care of me, but that guy was inhuman. Because I couldn’t move, he did some very excessive things to me, so I killed him.”
“What things?” Luo Yan pressed for details.
“A person who can’t move is at his mercy!” Mo Shengmin’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, “You only need to know that I killed him, and that’s enough.”
Luo Yan frowned.
Duge cast a sympathetic glance at Mo Shengmin.
In his mind, he involuntarily recalled the excessive things some caretakers did to the paralyzed elderly on Earth. It must have been more than just abuse to enrage an Alien Warrior to the point of murder.
There was no denying.
This guy was pitiable, having his homeland destroyed by Alien Warriors, then sent to the battlefield by Pan-Universe Entertainment, only to be possessed into a person with high-level paralysis and even humiliated!
Such a rough and bumpy fate would make anyone irascible!
“Since he abused you, and you killed him, it’s self-defense and can be forgiven,” Luo Yan said.
“You are a high-level paraplegic; how did you kill him?” Duge suddenly asked.
Having possessed someone dying of severe injuries, he knew that to recover, actions had to align with a keyword.
Knowing how he killed his enemy could help ascertain what his keyword was.
“Bitten to death,” Mo Shengmin glanced coldly at Duge and said, “The body was chopped up by me, do you want to seek justice for him?”
“That’s not it. I’m merely curious about you, gamers,” Duge said with a mild smile, signaling no harm, “After all, our records indicate a patient with high-level paralysis, but now, here you are, lively and kicking, fighting with such dexterity, more miraculous than a medical marvel.”
“Hmph,” Mo Shengmin snorted and pointed at Xu Wan, speaking to Luo Yan, “The person you’re cooperating with didn’t tell you how hard it is to kill a Chaotic Man, did he? They have a very strong recovery ability. Unless you cut off their heads or shatter their hearts, you simply can’t kill them. Once they grow, even beheading might not do the job. To kill them, you have to act early.”
“…” Xu Wan glanced at him but said nothing.
Luo Yan shook his head and asked, “Who else did you kill?”
“Those who came looking for him,” Mo Shengmin said. “Having killed one, naturally, you have to nip it in the bud to give myself time to grow. I just didn’t expect you to come so quickly.”
“Do you think we came to investigate the murder, and that’s why you attacked us?” Luo Yan asked.
“The crime scene was in my room. I had no way to cover it up, nor to explain why I suddenly got better,” Mo Shengmin replied.
“Since you killed someone, why didn’t you run, and instead stayed here?” Luo Yan asked.
“Tell me, where can I run to escape your investigation?” Mo Shengmin retorted with a sneer, “Now, I’ve told you everything. Do you still plan to recruit me?”
“What’s your keyword?” Luo Yan asked.
“Vicious,” Mo Shengmin glanced at Xu Wan and said, “Without a hint of viciousness, how could I possibly have retaliated and killed the one who abused me? I’m grateful for being assigned such a keyword; otherwise, I’d probably still be lying paralyzed in bed!”
Vicious?
His brusqueness and impulsiveness were also feigned!
Duge stared intently at Mo Shengmin, who had grasped initiative in a different way. His cunning was even greater than Xu Wan’s—a true wily fox!
This meant that the incident on Nine Dragon Star might not even be true!
Damnit!
How come as soon as he kept a low profile, the high-level players started to emerge out of nowhere…
“Director Luo, I think we can keep Mo Shengmin as well,” Duge suddenly spoke up, “There’s too much missing from the information we’ve received. By combining the accounts of different gamers, we can make an accurate assessment of the situation. Losing a few scumbags doesn’t matter much compared to the invasion of the Silven civilization two years from now.”
“Alright,” Luo Yan glanced at Duge and nodded his head, “Mo Shengmin, since your world has also been invaded by these gamers, we should be of the same kind. I hope you can stay and help us get through this ordeal.”
