"Phew!" Earth Knight sighed with a bitter smile. "This is truly frustrating, I thought my abilities could’ve helped you all more or less. Unexpectedly, I didn’t even have a chance for a straight confrontation."
"The specters within the [Task] cannot be calculated by common sense. It was only by good luck that we managed to exterminate the two-segnted corpse utilising the technology-based attack." Yang Dong laughed. After all, the successful completion of the task was the best result for him. Then, looking at Li Changhe, he added, "If it’s the one behind ’Eight-direction,’ it’d be a little more troubleso for to deal with."
Yun Ting sneered coldly. Although she noticed the peculiarities about Li Changhe and his companions, she wasn’t afraid of Yang Dong. The power of the cannon was indeed terrifying... terrifying to the ghosts, at least. However, at this distance, unless Yang Dong was planning on blowing up his own face, he was more likely to be strangled by stray strands of hair.
"I sincerely hope you’ll consider it, [Great Wall] can assure your safety."Yang Dong made a final effort to convince them, trying to get them to join [Great Wall] within the last ten seconds.
The Earth Knight responded, "We will consider it."
Li Changhe nodded in agreent, but said nothing.
The strange sensation in his throat was gradually disappearing, indicating that the side effects of Yun Ting’s possession were decreasing. His voice was close to returning to normal, so if he spoke now, he might give himself away. Another slip-up at the completion of the [Task] would be the ultimate jest.
At this mont, Laughing Gentleman, who had been hovering above, also began to descend. The very mont she touched the ground, she deactivated her demon armor and wobbled a bit before sitting down. That technique she used monts ago had strained her to her very limit. Now, she didn’t even have the strength to converse with the others.
Yang Dong hastily shielded her. After witnessing her gulp down a bottle of blue potion, he finally sighed in relief, "Why did you use so much energy?"
"I was afraid that I wouldn’t have enough water, so I extracted so from the air. I miscalculated... I don’t even have the strength to stand by now." Laughing Gentleman replied with a raspy breath, "I might need so ti to recuperate."
As long as she could still speak, Yang Dong made a hand signal.
At first, Li Changhe didn’t notice anything unusual. But the mont he caught sight of Invisible Red Dust’s smiling face, his heart tightened. He shouted, "Be careful!"
Li Changhe’s body was becoming more and more accustod to Yun Ting’s possession, and his voice had regained its original tone. Speaking now, without any disguise, might give him away to Xiao Nan and Yang Dong.
But now was not the ti for secrecy. The smile on Invisible Red Dust’s face had suddenly turned malicious.
Unprepared, Yang Dong simply stood bewildered. The first thing that struck him was how familiar the voice sounded. Seeing him confused, Laughing Gentleman felt sothing was off.
Before they could react, Invisible Red Dust growled, "Lang Lang! Laughing Gentleman, where are you? Is anyone with you?"
[Skill: Lang Lang]
[Type: Language Spirit]
[Effect: Targets with energy lower than the user’s will answer any questions posed by the user]
[Consumption: 10% of energy value]
[Remark: No secrets can be kept under my words]
Laughing Gentleman rocked back for a mont.
In her weakened state, she had absolutely no defense against Invisible Red Dust’s skill. She uttered sothing that she should never have, thereby revealing her location.
The location was the eting spot for a movie date she had planned with Li Changhe.
Yang Dong imdiately realized what was happening. The space around him started to ripple, and his face changed drastically, "You’re seeking death!" Because they were so close, he didn’t dare to use large-caliber ammunition. In an instant, he discharged hundreds of rifle bullets, causing a stunning firework of gun blasts.
He understood then. Invisible Red Dust wanted to kill Laughing Gentleman and seize the demon armor!
He needed to kill Invisible Red Dust before leaving the instance! Otherwise... it would be too late!
In the real-world, he was still at the entrance of Yanyun Academy. Xiao Nan, for so reason, did not let him accompany her inside.
Currently, Xiao Nan had used up most of her energy and was in no condition to fight back!
However, Invisible Red Dust was seen smiling faintly, his body shimring golden. Even bullets bounced off him. He used his own body to block incoming fire!
[Skill: Buddha’s Blessing]
[Type: Defensive Skill]
[Effect: Immune to damage for 5 seconds]
[Consumption: Can only be used once a day. 20% energy value]
[Remark: Under my aura, all is undeterred!]
"Buddha’s Blessing? You dare to attack [Great Wall]!" With only three seconds left to exit the instance, Yang Dong felt an absolute despair and bellowed in rage at Invisible Red Dust, "You’re seeking death! [Great Wall] will never let you go!"
"That is fate you see. Neither you nor the Great Wall can stop it." Invisible Red Dust laughed softly amidst the shower of bullets.
Cursing silently, Li Changhe was about to engage, but was held back by Earth Knight, "Going down there ans death! He can block bullets, can you? It’s destiny!"
"Indeed..." Invisible Red Dust turned back at the two, smiling in amusent and wild ecstasy.
He was on the path to fulfilling his longstanding desire, well worth the preservation of his strength and the hidden skills. He had finally found his opportunity!
"This is fate!"
The next second [Leave Instance]
Whether it’s the raging Yang Dong, or the lightly smiling Unseen Red Dust. They have all been teleported out of the instance.
The previously advancing Li Changhe was also transported back to the storage room of the art gallery, where he ’bang’ fell to the floor.
He roared angrily wanting to get up, then a long string of text pop up in his mind.

Just one task, and Li Changhe had already acquired two new [Skills]. Moreover, the probability of drawing skills from the lottery is also very high. That is to say, after this task, Li Changhe may beco a [Player] who possesses three [Skills] all at once.
However, Li Changhe didn’t show a trace of joy, Xiao Nan was facing a life-threatening situation, and for the first ti, the usually calm and composed Li Changhe started to panic.
He roared, "Yun Ting, help ! I will avenge you, no matter the cost!"
No matter the cost!
These six words represent his chilling killing intent and also foretell that Li Changhe will avenge Yun Ting, ignoring all laws and morals.
If it were under normal circumstances, Li Changhe would not say such things. There’s no need to involve himself for Yun Ting’s sake, let alone kill soone.
But now that Xiao Nan’s life was hanging in the balance, why would he care about the lives of others?
He didn’t wait for Yun Ting’s response, struggling to get up.
He was originally the one who was going to et up with soone, so he naturally knew the route.
He’ll make it in ti! He must make it in ti! He has to make it in ti! Unseen Red Dust shouldn’t be faster than him!
"Fate?" Li Changhe recalled the last words of [Unseen Red Dust]. He gritted his teeth in anger.
"Damn your fate! I’m going to strangle you to death now!"
