Chapter 106 Discovering Clues
"My lord, please intervene again! Lu Lin is not dead yet!"
The air became deathly still, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the woman in white.
"Hmph, you think you can save Lu Lin by taking a fatal blow for him? How ridiculous! I meant to kill Lu Lin, so this is a perfect two birds with one stone..."
Just as the Blood Witch was feeling smug, an unexpected incident occurred.
"I've already made my move once; you have no more chances to make demands!" The woman's voice was icy as she looked down at the Blood Witch.
"But Lu Lin isn't dead yet! I told you to kill him!" the Blood Witch exclaimed, bewildered.
"I did strike at Lu Lin, but someone took the fatal blow for him. Besides, one person has already died. If you still have demands, then win another match!"
"But... wasn't this your mistake? I wanted to kill Lu Lin, but you killed an ordinary person instead..."
The Blood Witch was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but an unexpected incident occurred.
Under everyone's shocked gaze, a blade of light shot out instantly, severing the Blood Witch's right arm on the spot.
Immediately afterward, the woman in white appeared in front of the Blood Witch, stomping hard on his forehead and coldly saying:
Are you questioning my decision?
The blood witch's initial arrogance vanished instantly, and he clutched his bleeding arm, grimacing and snarling, "I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!"
"Please calm down, Your Excellency!" The Blood Witch trembled all over, never expecting his opponent to be so ruthless.
"If there's a next time, it won't just be my arm that gets lost!" The woman in white sneered and disappeared from the spot once again.
This scene stunned everyone, and the other bettors quickly hid in corners, fearing they would be implicated.
"That's terrifying..."
"I wouldn't even hesitate to kill someone..."
The air was incredibly oppressive, but at that moment a burst of laughter broke the silence.
"Xiao Fu, look at that old bastard! He wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work, but the knife ended up on his own body instead!" Yu Wenwen pointed at the Blood Witch and burst into laughter.
"They reaped what they sowed..."
Amidst the chatter around her, the blood witch picked up the severed arm, feeling utterly humiliated.
"Fuxi, don't be so arrogant. I was careless today. Do you dare to have another match with me?"
The air was deathly silent. The Blood Witch stared intently at Fuxi, determined to unleash the pent-up frustration she had suffered upon Fuxi.
The air was deathly silent. Yu Wenwen quickly tugged at Fu Xi's sleeve and whispered:
"Xiao Fu, don't agree to him! We still have over 100,000 units of blood essence, enough for just one time!"
"And we can't even use our powers. Maybe we should just leave? This is probably another trap!"
Fu Xi remained silent, his gaze deep, his mind racing. "Leave directly? Then Lu Lin is doomed!"
"Besides, this is the last match. If I win, I can make a request to the Lord of Boundless." Fu Xi thought to herself.
"If this blood witch uses this demand on us, we're doomed. Even if it's a trap, we have to fall for it!"
"Not jumping means certain death, jumping might offer a glimmer of hope..."
Fu Xi tried to think things through, but this aroused the dissatisfaction of others.
"What are you all dawdling about? It's the last game! If you're not going to gamble, get off the field and give us the chance!"
"Yeah, get out of there, you tail-between-your-tails dog!"
Seeing this, the Blood Witch, who was watching the spectacle from afar, grinned from ear to ear, thinking to herself, "Fuxi, if you won't gamble, I'll just use the opportunity on you!"
"If you gamble, you can't escape your fate of death. You'll die today, whether you like it or not!"
Just when Blood Witch thought Fuxi was about to give up, another unexpected event occurred.
"Why wouldn't I dare, Blood Witch? Since you're so eager to play, I'll play another round with you!" Fu Xi looked at him with a half-smile.
This made the Blood Witch very uneasy.
"What's going on? Isn't he scared? Why is he laughing at a time like this? Has he gone mad?" The Blood Witch had many answers in his mind, but he immediately attributed them to other things.
The Blood Witch snorted coldly, glancing disdainfully at Fu Xi. "Just playing tricks? I'll make you admit defeat!"
Just as the Blood Witch was about to call for a bid, a dark figure emerged from the darkness and approached him from behind with unsteady steps.
The Blood Witch was taken aback at first, then smiled and nodded, quickly retreating to the back.
Fu Xi also noticed this scene, and her brows furrowed.
"The table and the dice cup were normal before, I was wondering why this blood witch was so confident!"
"Moreover, the Blood Witch's attitude towards him was clearly one of utmost respect. It seems that this is the final mastermind!" Just as Fu Xi was pondering this, the other side spoke up.
"I'll play with you from now on!" The man's voice was bitter, as if he hadn't had water in a long time.
"Then let's go!" Fu Xi showed no fear, her gaze fixed intently on the other person.
At this moment, the guard placed a box the size of a head on the table. "This is the last competing item, a forbidden object. Starting price: 100,000 Blood Essence!"
After the guard left, the people around immediately erupted in a commotion, their eyes fixed on the box on the table.
"This...this is actually a forbidden item! I've only heard about it from headquarters, I never thought I'd see it here in my lifetime!"
"Yes, these are forbidden items; it's said that each one has extremely powerful effects..."
"If only we could get our hands on some..."
The allure of the forbidden item ignited greed in their eyes; even Fuxi became curious about it. "I also acquired a forbidden item before..."
"I just never knew what its purpose was. Now that another one has appeared, even if I don't know its function, its appearance as the finale must mean it's something special!"
Fu Xi clenched her fists, and immediately knew the answer in her heart. At this moment, the dice cup trembled once again.
Seeing this, the people around quickly placed their bets.
"I'm betting 10,000 blood essence on this guy in black!"
"I cherish this piece of blood essence..."
Just as those around him were placing bets of several thousand blood essences, the Blood Witch, carrying a sack of blood essences, shouted, "I'm betting everything on the man in black! Three hundred thousand blood essences, not a single one left!"
The Blood Witch's confident tone nearly made the man in black at the table vomit blood, but since he had already suppressed his anger, he could only accept it helplessly.
The air was deathly silent. Everyone looked frantically at the center of the table, while the dice cup spun slower and slower.
"It must be the men in black..."
"I've staked everything I have..."
Amidst the chatter around them, Fuxi's gaze lingered elsewhere.
"To turn the tide, one must use superpowers, but Yu Wenwen still can't use them, which shouldn't be the case given the golden token's enhancement!"
"Moreover, the woman in white also used her superpowers before, which means that having a token grants the ability to use superpowers!"
Fu Xi immediately had the answer in her mind.
"That means something is suppressing the superpowers. Without a token, you can't use the superpowers here..." Fu Xi's gaze fell on the two Blood Witches.
"If they had a token, the messenger shouldn't have acted so decisively, which means they can't use their powers either, and the table hasn't changed..."
Fu Xi's gaze fell on the table once again, this time on the wooden table. Excluding all other possibilities, there was only one answer.
That's a forbidden item!
"The sunglasses Chen Hang had on the first floor served this purpose, so it seems there's something similar here!" With that answer in mind, Fu Xi looked around.
"The table is fine, the dice are fine, and everything around seems fine, but it's just too dark..." Fu Xi muttered to herself.
"It's too dark?" Fu Xi's eyes lit up, and her gaze immediately fell on the small area of the lights.
The strangest thing here is this: why not use a single large light for illumination?
At this point, the dice cup's frequency slowed down, and it would stop in just a few seconds...
