Chapter 173: The App Disappears
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hearing Wang Chenyu’s words, Lin Bai’s heart raced, but his expression did not change at all.
He merely curled the corners of his lips indifferently and asked in a half-joking tone,?“You’re so sure that I’m one of you? Aren’t you afraid of making a mistake?”
Wang Chenyu said without thinking, “How is that possible!?I can smell the dark energy on your body from eight meters away!”
Lin Bai restrained the expression on his face and didn’t say anything.
But in his heart, he was quickly analyzing how true and fake Wang Chenyu’s words were.
Wang Chenyu grinned and took a few steps forward, trying to get closer.
Lin Bai immediately retreated quickly, not hiding his vigilance at all.
“What are you doing? Stay away from me!”
Lin Bai warned him coldly.
Wang Chenyu was still smiling mischievously.
He said, “Why are you making such a fuss? I’ve already said that we’re on the same side. What else can I do to you?”
“I’m not tired of living yet. I don’t dare to challenge Lord Oracle’s divine might!”
Lin Bai did not comment.
Wang Chenyu continued,?“I’m just curious. I just sacrificed last night. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be much energy left in my hands now.?Why do you still have so much? Don’t you have to sacrifice everything?”
“Or did you absorb all of it after you sacrificed it??Can you teach me how to absorb it so quickly?”
Wang Chenyu asked humbly, but Lin Bai knew that he was actually testing him.
Last night, he was brought into the dream by the power of the pendant and saw the scene of his sacrifice, and he was even discovered by the so-called Oracle.
In other words, his whereabouts last night were actually exposed.
Whether Wang Chenyu knew that he was the “spy”during the sacrifice last night was still a mystery.
Under such circumstances, Lin Bai did not want to reveal too much so as to avoid being caught by the other party.
Therefore, he maintained a calm and composed expression and only answered with two words,?“No comment.”
Wang Chenyu did not seem to be surprised by Lin Bai’s reaction.
“Forget it if you don’t want to say it. Everyone has their own secrets.”
“At least we’re on the same side. There’s definitely nothing wrong with that. That’s enough.”
“Alright, I’ve said everything I wanted to say. In the future, we’ll keep our distance and not interfere with each other. You don’t have any objections, right?”
Lin Bai replied indifferently, “No.”
“That’s good.”
Wang Chenyu was about to leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something and patted his forehead with a smile.
“Look at my memory. I almost forgot about the farewell ceremony!”
As he said that, he stood up straight and made a strange gesture with a serious expression. Then, he solemnly said,?“May the Devil God descend soon. May his will be carried out in the human world!”
Lin Bai thought for a moment and was about to do as he was told, but his heart suddenly tightened.
A voice in his mind told him not to?do it!
Lin Bai quickly restrained himself and asked with a cold face,?“What kind of nonsense is this? Why didn’t I know there was a farewell ceremony?”
“You’ve been pretending to be me for so long, what are you trying to do?!”
Lin Bai’s aura was fully unleashed, as if he was going to teach the man in front of him a lesson in the next second.
But Wang Chenyu laughed.
He said, “I just made it up casually, I just wanted to test you.”
“I’ve said so much, but you didn’t say anything. I was also afraid that something would go wrong!”
“Now we can be completely sure that we are all working for Lord Oracle. We are all in cahoots!”
Lin Bai’s face was still cold. “How do I know whether what you said is true or not?”
“I can trust you for now. If I find out that you are not right or that you are unfavorable to Lord Oracle next time, Don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Wang Chenyu was intimidated by Lin Bai. He could no longer care about probing and was eager to show his loyalty.
“My loyalty to the oracle can be seen by the heaven and the Earth! I will never betray the oracle even if I betray the whole world!”
Lin Bai wanted to scare him a little more, but he decided against it.
It was more wrong to say so much. It was better to be safe.
So he turned around with a sullen look on his face and left without saying another word.
Even though Lin Bai did not turn around, he could clearly feel Wang Chenyu’s gaze glued to his back.
It was not until he walked far away and made a few turns that the gaze behind him finally disappeared.
Only then did Lin Bai secretly let out a sigh of relief. He was secretly glad that his luck was really good.
When Wang Chenyu took the initiative to look for him, Lin Bai had already imagined countless possibilities in his mind.
But he never thought that Wang Chenyu not only did not have any conflict with him, but also treated him as one of his own.
And more importantly, when Wang Chenyu tested him in the end, his intuition made him react correctly in time.
Other than luck, Lin Bai couldn’t think of a second explanation.
It seemed that the 30 days of Max level luck awarded by the system wasn’t affected too much.
The current him still had heaven-defying luck.
Lin Bai checked his surroundings again. After making sure that Wang Chenyu didn’t continue to follow him, he stood by the roadside and prepared to use the app to call a car.
He used a volume that only he could hear clearly and muttered softly,?“If I knew this would happen, I should have bought a car.”
If he had a car, he could have driven a long distance with just one step on the accelerator. Why would he need to walk on two legs for such a long time?
Lin Bai felt that it was time to buy a transportation tool.
Although it was fast to call for a cab, under certain special circumstances, it was still not as convenient as having a car.
Lin Bai searched for the best automotive store in the city and then planned to take a taxi there.
However, just as he was about to switch to the cab-calling app to take a taxi, Lin Bai suddenly realized that the location of the Future News app on his phone’s desktop had become blank.
The Future News app had completely disappeared.
This was the situation that Lin Bai was most worried about previously.
But now, when this situation really happened, Lin Bai was not as sad as he had previously imagined because a bigger stone was pressing down on his heart
Wang Chenyu and countless similar puppets, as well as the so-called Lord Oracle behind them?had always been hurting ordinary people, and in a secretive and fast way, they were constantly encroaching on and destroying the existing rules of this world.
Just City S alone had at least a hundred of such puppets.
How many of them were there in the entire country?
Such a huge and secretive force and such a vast area of influence.
Lin Bai could not help but ask himself in his heart, ‘Does it really have the ability to completely destroy their entire force?’
If it was not destroyed, could he really be able to remain uninvolved under such a background?
