Chapter 397: Chapter 396: Then Let Me Ask You
Looking at this person who was acting as if it were only natural, Lv Bai suddenly laughed.
He took a step forward and positioned himself right in front of the person. Because he stood so close, there was even a sense of being high and mighty.
"You rambled on for quite a while, trying to prove that you don’t have any combat abilities, right?"
The person’s expression visibly stiffened, and he returned to his seat voluntarily, aiming to display an air of calm confidence. He never imagined Lv Bai would approach so closely without regard for appearances.
Sitting down and then standing back up would show that he was frightened by Lv Bai, causing his aura to completely disappear.
Not standing up and looking up at Lv Bai would be even more ridiculous.
The person was in a dilemma for a moment, finally choosing to focus on his plate in front of him, forcing himself not to look at Lv Bai, barely maintaining the last shred of dignity.
"Not talking anymore?"
Lv Bai looked down at this so-called person with amusement.
In fact, he was intentionally getting this close, adopting a rare arrogant attitude, primarily to provoke this person into making the first move.
Though he claimed to have no combat abilities, the fact that the opponent could easily twist off a person’s head indicated otherwise. At most, the opponent’s strength was still up for debate.
Yet the person clearly couldn’t tolerate Lv Bai’s attitude.
But the more Lv Bai behaved fearlessly, the less the person dared to make a rash move.
The reason was that he had never met such a confident human in reality.
Either he was a reckless fool, or he was truly fearless.
The person logically believed Lv Bai was likely the former, but he didn’t dare to bet on it.
He hoped to live a little longer, to learn more about Lv Bai’s situation and personality.
Honestly, they entered the Death Arena as clones, often encountering outstanding humans. In the Death Arena, they could look down on them and were helpless.
But these so-called masters didn’t care because they all knew it was just the Death Arena.
After all, if a species has a large enough population, some extraordinarily incomprehensible individuals will appear. Only such individuals can lead their species forward by leaps and bounds.
When two different species are in opposition, such individuals can support the backbone of a species.
However, all this presupposes that the gap between the two species is not too large.
Just like the struggle between Shu Han and Cao Wei after Liu Bei’s entrusted responsibility. Despite significant internal issues, it was a battle of one mine against nine mines, and even the Prime Minister, praised as a wise figure throughout history, was powerless.
Compared to this person’s species, the gap between humans and this person’s race was even more exaggerated than one mine against nine.
The technological gap led to despair and wasn’t something that one or two geniuses could reverse.
Not to mention, under strict surveillance, such individuals don’t even have time to grow and are prematurely eliminated.
"Since you’re not talking, I’ll ask you then."
Relying on the presence of "Steel Body," Lv Bai boldly reached out and touched the person’s head, showing no concern about a sneak attack: "I have a lot of questions for you."
The local Speakers who were present all watched the events unfold with a dazed expression.
Lv Bai treating this person like a pet forced them to recall the person’s previous mysterious, deep demeanor, inevitably causing a sense of absurdity.
How could the person tolerate someone defecating on their head?
Could it be a test of their loyalty?
Some of the local Speakers couldn’t help but entertain such thoughts, and driven by the desire for a better life, one disheveled local Speaker gritted his teeth and angrily shouted, "Gan Lin Niang! What the hell are you doing?!"
Despite the yelling, no local Speakers dared to actually confront Lv Bai.
After the bearded middle-aged man finished scolding, he signaled his subordinates to handle the situation quickly.
Ultimately, although the titles made Lv Bai’s presence seem intimidating, he hadn’t displayed any superior powers, appearing no different from ordinary people.
"Who brought you here? Looking for death, are we?!"
The two henchmen had uncertain hearts but weren’t truly afraid.
They cursed while advancing towards Lv Bai.
"See that? That’s the inherent flaw of your species."
The choice of the local Speaker finally gave the person an outlet for frustration.
Honestly, he didn’t believe these people could pose a threat to Lv Bai, but he thought this occurrence could at least help reclaim some control over the situation.
However, unexpectedly, Lv Bai didn’t even turn his head but merely snapped his fingers.
Invisible air currents turned into two sharp Wind Blades.
In an instant, two heads were sent flying to the ceiling of the dining hall, then crashed heavily to the ground.
The smooth cross-section of the necks instantly spewed blood, creating radial crimson patterns on the dining table.
Watching this scene, everyone present, whether it was the local Speakers or their followers, gasped in astonishment.
They had considered the possibility of Lv Bai taking action but never imagined it would be so effortlessly done.
"Death Fighter?"
"And with abilities retained?!"
They were human too and could enter the Death Arena.
However, compared to the underground shelters, these surface settlements had scarce populations, and Death Fighters who could use abilities in the real world were few and far between.
Even if such elites existed, they were quickly recruited by the person.
"Don’t think I’m some kind of saint, okay?"
After doing all this, Lv Bai’s smile showed no change.
Amidst the backdrop of two human-shaped blood fountains, his seemingly harmless smile created an unsettling contrast for onlookers.
"Alright, it’s quiet now, so I’ll ask you."
Lv Bai pondered for half a second and continued: "First question, what is your species called?"
The person felt a strong emotional upheaval and forcibly maintained his silence.
"If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine. After all, it’s just a label. I’ll just call you clones."
Lv Bai seemed easygoing and didn’t act because of the other person’s silence.
"Now for the next question, the Deathmatch System, it doesn’t belong to you, does it? At least you clones can’t control it, or even enter the Death Arena without a human shell. Am I right?"
The person continued to choose silence.
Seeing this, Lv Bai’s smile grew even brighter: "Sometimes not answering is an answer itself. It seems I guessed correctly."
A hint of gravity flickered in the person’s eyes.
