Chapter 1257 Lou Yi Shen: Huge Loss
Chapter 1257 Lou Yi Shen: Huge Loss
The opponent acted extremely quickly.
Moreover, their objective was clear: to gouge out his eyes first, and then take his life.
In no time at all, Lou Yishen, who was unable to move, collapsed into a pool of blood and fell silent...
A few hours later.
Lou Yishen, who should have died, suddenly opened his eyes. He had returned to the "rebirth point" he had set earlier.
He touched his eyes and pulse with lingering fear, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was still alive.
After finally calming down, Lou Yishen, panting heavily, immediately contacted Sun Wukong.
Although Sun Wukong had already emphasized the danger of this matter.
He even anticipated the dangers he would face as the bait.
But I never expected them to be so ruthless!
Although he died before he could see who had done it, at this moment only Pale could have done it to him.
Who else could it be?
Sun Wukong on the other end quickly answered the call.
"Why did you contact me all of a sudden? Did you discover something unusual?" Sun Wukong asked, somewhat puzzled.
Lou Yishen wiped his face and said in a weary voice, "Brother, you've made me use up my last substitute prop. I've really lost out!"
He was killed inexplicably before he could even use the time-manipulation item given to him by Sun Wukong, and he was extremely frustrated.
If he weren't afraid of alerting the enemy, he would have definitely gone back to the scene to check the situation.
Sun Wukong wasn't particularly surprised to hear Lou Yishen say that.
However, Lou Yishen said that he was killed before he even had time to react, which still left Sun Wukong with some doubts.
"President Lou, are you saying you were killed before you even had time to react?" Sun Wukong asked again, still somewhat unconvinced.
He didn't suspect that Lou Yishen was deliberately exaggerating the facts, but rather that there was something wrong with the whole thing.
Even if Lou Yishen was at his worst, he was once the president of the Snowdrift Guild. Surely he wouldn't be assassinated without even having time to react?
Lou Yishen knew that Sun Wukong wouldn't believe him.
To be honest, at first he couldn't believe that he would lose so easily.
Lou Yishen said with great certainty, "Yes, although I haven't returned to the scene to see the state of the substitute's death, I can be sure that the result was extremely tragic."
"First, they took my eyes in a very short time, and then they took my life. Such a killing move is rare!"
This was also a veiled reminder to Sun Wukong that if this person continued to investigate, he might encounter an even more outrageous way to die than he had.
After listening to Lou Yishen's lament, Sun Wukong had only one thought: "Then do you have a way to track down who killed you?"
Upon hearing these words, Lou Yishen's eyes widened in disbelief. He felt that Sun Wukong might have gone mad.
Otherwise, why would Sun Wukong, knowing the dangers he would face if he continued to pursue the "truth," still choose to do so?
"You're not trying to use my death to make a fuss, are you?" Lou Yishen thought for a moment and gave what he thought was the most reasonable reason.
But in any case, his admiration for Sun Wukong at this moment was almost off the charts.
It is known that the person who killed him may have been Pale, or perhaps his surveillance had angered the other party.
While venting their anger through this behavior, the other party was also using it to warn Sun Wukong not to pursue the matter any further, or else he would bear the consequences.
But Sun Wukong, being so stubborn, still wanted to confront him head-on.
Although Lou Yishen did not agree with Sun Wukong's actions, he still admired the other party's courage.
Completely unaware of what Lou Yishen was imagining, Sun Wukong calmly replied after hearing the other's question:
“I do want to use your death to make some noise, after all… Pale is just too dangerous.”
"If we don't figure it out, he might do something underhanded behind our backs."
Unfortunately, their relationship isn't exactly on the verge of a complete falling out.
If Sun Wukong really wanted to harm the pale, he would have to find a suitable reason to justify it.
If they were merely enemies, Sun Wukong wouldn't have hesitated so much to find out the true nature of Pale.
Ultimately, it was all just to make things easier for Lu Su.
Thinking about this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but think that if the Heavenly Alliance were his own, things would be much simpler.
You won't have to be so constrained when doing things.
It's a pity that he's now on someone else's turf, so even if he's unwilling, he has to keep a low profile.
However, putting all that aside, there was actually another reason why Sun Wukong asked Lou Yishen such a question.
He was indeed very concerned about what methods the other party had used to so easily and quickly take away Lou Yishen.
Seeing that Sun Wukong had gone this far, Lou Yishen lowered his eyes: "I do have a way to track down who killed me."
"But I have one request: when the time comes, I want to personally seek justice from this murderer."
That guy is the one who prevented him from using the time-manipulating item, causing his Stand item to be completely destroyed. If he doesn't get revenge, does he really think he's a pushover?
Upon hearing Lou Yishen's words, Sun Wukong agreed without any hesitation.
Just kidding, even if he doesn't agree, given Lou Yishen's personality, he'll probably find someone to get revenge on himself!
Since that's the case, he might as well just agree, so as to avoid disappointing Lou Yishen.
"Speaking of which, do you need me to fix your substitute prop?" Sun Wukong suddenly asked, as if he had just thought of something.
Lou Yishen was shamelessly tempted upon hearing this.
But he remained defiant, looking at the projection of Sun Wukong with skepticism: "Really? You can do it?"
He didn't want to make a wasted trip.
Sun Wukong said matter-of-factly, "Hey, I can't guarantee it will be exactly the same as before. At most, I can replicate 80% of the functions so you can use it a few more times... Of course, you'll have to provide the repair materials yourself."
Of course, the more important reason was that he wanted to try and see if he could do it.
I'm about 90% sure!
If this works out, it feels like there's another path to wealth within the Heavenly Dao Alliance!
Lou Yishen had no idea what Sun Wukong was thinking; he only knew that he had come out on top.
Substitute items are basically one-time use items.
He was lucky; in some other world, he accidentally obtained this substitute item, which could be used up to five times.
I thought that after using up my last substitute item, I would have to find another substitute item to use as my trump card.
Unexpectedly, things took a dramatic turn for the better!
