Chapter 322: After I Kill You
```
"What, do you want to die now?"
Xu Shuo looked at him indifferently as he embedded the floating mirror shards back into place, but he was unable to fully repair it.
It seemed that Luo Kun's actions just now were not intended as an attack, but merely to block him.
Of course, that was mere speculation.
After all, Luo Kun's mind was, at all times, beyond the realm of normal judgment.
You might think he's just fooling around, but sometimes he takes the storyline and tasks seriously; you think he's on a task, but in reality, he's plotting how to kill you.
Luo Kun's approach to playing mainly reeks of blood and violence! Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
Especially in the low-rank scripts where new players were still fumbling their way through, his reckless and wanton antics often drove other players insane, and not just the enemies, but his own teammates as well.
In this gap, Xu Shuo thought a lot, pondering over the energy bomb within Luo Kun as well as the reasons behind his recent actions.
Luo Kun's gaze was intense as he stared at his face, the corner of his mouth curving up: "Doctor Chu, I know what you want."
Xu Shuo slightly raised an eyebrow, silently looking at him.
"Those people are now a kilometer away diagonally across from here, and there are their informants at the press conference as well, but those are just some useless commoners. But more importantly, the bodyguards by the head of Long Group have been bought off," Luo Kun continued unconcerned by his silence, talking to himself.
After putting away the weird smile on his face, his expression became calm, making him seem quite earnest.
That is, if what he's saying is true, it means his brain has issues.
Xu Shuo pushed up the glasses on his face, his expression unreadable as he said, "And then, are you telling me all this so you can die more comfortably later?"
Luo Kun squinted slightly and suddenly leaned in closer, those emerald eyes reflecting the lax figure of the young man.
The smile on his face twisted a bit more: "Doctor Chu, I'd prefer to kill you myself. But for now, I have to kill another bothersome thing first; can you wait patiently for a while?"
"Is that so?"
Xu Shuo's gaze lingered on his carotid artery briefly before he continued, "You should know what Xiu Bargas's ability is, right?"
What kind of ability can nullify both psychic abilities and molecular manipulation?
If killing the person controlling his life had been possible, with Luo Kun's madman-like nature he wouldn't have delayed this long; he likely would've acted on the spot upon realizing it.
Luo Kun looked at him, his eyes mocking, "Territory, invincible within ten meters, any ability entering his domain will become ineffective. I would think, Doctor Chu, since you've killed me so many times, killing him should also be simple, right?"
Xu Shuo suddenly felt this line of reasoning to be somewhat familiar.
But he knew this kind of provocation was pointless; he was earnestly considering how to deal with this ability.
Xiu Bargas was formerly quite the overlord with an arrogant yet cautious personality; he had always kept his abilities hidden and this was the first time the New An Bureau had heard of this power.
Invincible within the territory, even psychic abilities labeled as the pinnacle of power would fail upon spreading into it.
So how are they supposed to fight that?
Xu Shuo pondered calmly for a while, then said, "If we can't beat him, we wait to die."
As soon as the words fell, Luo Kun suddenly stirred up the glass shards again, his expression manically gleeful as he hissed, "Since that's the case, I'll kill you before I die!"
"..."
Whenever Xu Shuo couldn't comprehend Luo Kun's train of thought, he would reassure himself that he was indeed normal.
So he insists on opposing Xiu Bargas?
It wasn't players who had implanted the energy bomb in him.
Xu Shuo suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for the Paradise Bird faction, saddled with such an unreasonable and self-indulgent madman as a teammate.
After all, this was a faction-based game, and players usually weren't foolish enough to weaken their own faction's strength, as that would be detrimental to their task completion without any benefit.

The bomb inside Bai Mufei was an Energy Body, spreading throughout his body through his blood, but the neuron activation device connected to his heart could never be an Energy Body no matter what.
So, in fact, he had the opportunity to remove the bomb, but if he touched the device, Xiu Bargas would notice.
After which, the latter could immediately activate the bomb, by then even if Bai Mufei didn't die, he would be half-dead.
Therefore, unless the two reached a consensus, this action would definitely be regarded with suspicion and fear, thus sparking internal conflict!
After all, with the prestige and connections Bai Mufei had within Paradise Bird, he could basically mobilize most of the Paradise Bird members to confront Xiu Bargas.
Logically, no one would want to divide their own faction's power at this time.
But who is Luo Kun?
Is he the kind of person who would speak nicely?
He has already offended everyone in Paradise Bird!
He even managed to kill his own sidekicks!
Just like you!
Without turning his head, Xu Shuo reinserted the glass shards, telekinesis controlling the changes in this area, before saying, "Alright, the New An Bureau does indeed have people who can deal with Xiu Bargas, but what do you want to do?"
Give up on your own mission?
Just to kill someone?
The reason Xu Shuo was confident that we could handle Xiu Bargas was mainly because of the issue of faction balance.
After all, if the other party's abilities were truly invincible, then there would be no game to play, just surrender and have everyone enter the Punishment Task!
As expected, Pianning's "True Illusion" might be able to confront Xiu Bargas, this power could turn nothingness into reality, and reality back into nothingness.
More importantly, they had recruited a New Human not long before.
The beginning of all conflict.
Although Arman had only just started practicing using his psychic abilities, even a half-baked "Word Spirit" ability should be useful for something, right?
With the enemy being so powerful, Xu Shuo didn't mind adding to their troubles.
I truly pity the Paradise Bird faction.
Upon hearing this, Luo Kun stopped using his power and reverted to his usual obedient demeanor.
His eyes darkened as he laughed coldly, "You don't need to do anything else, just help me restrain that guy. Of course, remember to leave him breathing for me."
Xu Shuo chuckled, his tone full of mockery, "Not at all necessary. Fortunately, you're not my teammate, or I would have killed you right at the start."
Luo Kun laughed too, "That's really too bad, if you were my teammate, I definitely wouldn't have let you be bored for so long."
His tone was ambiguous, but it's clear it wouldn't be anything pleasant.
"I'd probably be out of luck for eight lifetimes then. But I am curious, I should have killed you before," Xu Shuo brought up the question conveniently, hoping that this not-so-smart guy could also give an answer.
"Is that so, it seems like Doctor Chu is very interested."
However, sometimes Luo Kun was quite sensible – at least he knew his resurrection ability was not to be revealed lightly.
And he knew it was his trump card against Xu Shuo.
The youth's eyes were full of mockery, "After I kill you, I'll tell you."
That would naturally be impossible. Xu Shuo's emotions remained undisturbed, only his gaze beneath his plain glasses slightly shifted, already considering how to trap people in the upcoming actions.
When opportunity knocked, not taking advantage would be foolish.
