Xu Mo's words left everyone around him utterly dumbfounded.
Bai Feifei had already given up on thinking; she was even starting to grow accustomed to these sudden bouts of madness.
Xie Jin looked completely baffled. Coming from Turing City, this way of operating was simply too abstract for him.
On the other hand, Capricorn Xiao Xinghan actually nodded in agreement.
“Did you feel it too?” He looked at Xu Mo.
“What is happening in this place is clearly the deliberate work of some entity...”
As he spoke, he also began scanning the windless zone from top to bottom, left to right.
Still, he doubted that a few curses from “Bai Feifei” would actually force the other party to show themselves.
Aries Hong Jiu, however, could no longer hold back. Clenching his fists, he bellowed:
“What? Someone is pulling the strings in secret? If there really is someone, come out and fight! We can't let ourselves be led by the nose!”
He paused and glanced at the surrounding horde of aberrations outside. “We're not going deeper! If it comes down to it, we'll just start slaughtering. Let's wipe out these things outside first!”
Xiao Xinghan stared at Hong Jiu with a face full of question marks, his lips twitching.
What are you getting so fired up about?
With this guy, Xiao Xinghan always knew he was hyped, but never understood why.
Tian Guannan suddenly grew anxious. Seeing that the students had stopped moving, he barked sharply:
“Bai Feifei! It's fine if you want to go crazy, but don't drag everyone else down with you!”
Turning around, he waved at the students. “Hurry, move inward! Ensure your safety first. This is no longer within the scope of the Graduation Show!”
Xu Mo knew that for this man to risk coming in here, there was definitely something off about him. However, he didn't have time to deal with him right now; he would just find a moment to kill him later.
Right now, he was focusing entirely on his own heartbeat, trying to see if he could catch that anomalous, unreasonable sound.
“Hiding and skulking around is so boring.”
Standing nearby, He Jinfan suddenly felt a profound sense of conviction beneath his mask.
He was Shining Yellow, a member of the Masked Hermit Society. He couldn't back down.
And so, he took a step forward to stand beside Xu Mo. Crossing his arms, he let out a cooperative cold sneer.
He had no idea what he was sneering at, but at least he was playing along.
Seeing him, Xu Mo thought to himself that his timing was perfect. He said directly:
“He Jinfan.”
He Jinfan's body stiffened. “Yeah?”
“When the time is right, use it.”
He Jinfan: ?
Use what?!
How should I know what I'm supposed to use?!
But according to what this woman had said earlier, the "organization" should have already briefed him before he came here.
He Jinfan's back was drenched in sweat once again.
“Since that esteemed guest is putting on airs and doesn't want to meet,” Xu Mo said, withdrawing his gaze, “then let's make sure they never get the chance.”
He was basically taking a shot in the dark, hoping to test if this pay-to-win character was carrying any treasures on him.
It was also a perfect opportunity to see what this guy was truly made of.
He Jinfan's brain raced frantically.
What is she talking about?
He didn't understand, but for some reason, he was no longer nervous.
His chuunibyou soul burned brightly. Wasn't this exactly the kind of moment he had always dreamed of?
She had mentioned earlier that Sinking Black had brought him up. Sinking Black was a powerhouse recorded even in the Book of Answers, so maybe...
It's all part of the plan! I just need to perform!
As his imagination ran wild, a confident smile slowly spread across his face. He instinctively reached down and touched a small pouch hanging from his waist.
That was his storage item.
What should I do now...
He Jinfan took a deep breath. Throwing caution to the wind, he decided to just bluff first.
Reaching his hand into the pouch, he gripped a cold metal sphere.
He threw his head back, his voice carrying a hint of theatrical arrogance: “Is that so? Shall we completely erase this place from the face of the earth?”
Xu Mo: ?
He almost lost his composure.
No way, brother. I was just testing you. If you have a trick, use it, but why are you acting with so much conviction?
Yet, He Jinfan only grew more confident the more he spoke.
He could feel that after he spoke, the surrounding air fell dead silent for a moment. Everyone was staring at him.
Being the center of attention made him hold his head incredibly high.
And indeed, it was.
Everyone who had heard of the "Masked Hermit Society" was watching him intently, waiting to see what kind of capabilities this newly emerged member of the secret organization possessed.
Cold sweat even began to bead on Tian Guannan's forehead.
And so, He Jinfan became addicted to the act.
Suddenly raising his right fist, an incredibly astonishing aura erupted from his body, like an extinct volcano abruptly bursting to life!
The air throughout the entire windless zone began to warp, and the fine red sand on the ground was shaken loose, floating up and slowly swirling around him.
Xie Jin, Hong Jiu, Xiao Xinghan, and the others all paled simultaneously.
Wait, what level of strength is this?
Under this terrifying aura, the man who had previously seemed completely unreliable now appeared towering and magnificent.
In their memory, even Liu Yun, who had been outside earlier, might not have possessed such a sudden, overwhelming sense of pressure.
Every member of the Masked Hermit Society who showed themselves was truly no simple character!
Only Xu Mo's lips couldn't help but twitch.
On his game panel, he could still clearly see that this guy's level was only 51!
What kind of item is that? It's purely for showing off! Is there really a Containment Object like that?
As expected of someone whom the game deemed to have a massive urge to show off in public...
He Jinfan stood at the center of the storm, his face shining with excitement.
He was Shining Yellow; he had to keep up the facade!
Therefore, even though it was a pure bluff, he forced his voice low and said: “So, Your Excellency does not plan to show yourself? Very well!”
Right at that moment, the shrinking windless zone suddenly ground to a halt. It even expanded outward slightly.
Immediately after, the surging aura around He Jinfan suddenly froze.
At the same time, the red soil beneath their feet began to well upward, and a figure emerged from the ground.
The moment that figure appeared, He Jinfan's body went rigid.
He felt his body being scrutinized by an exceptionally powerful and mysterious force, making even breathing difficult.
He had never experienced such a sensation before. It was a terror that stemmed from the very depths of his soul, giving him an urge to collapse and tremble.
At this point, he could only frantically repeat to himself in his mind: I am a member of the Masked Hermit Society, I cannot lose face!
The figure ignored everyone else, its gaze landing directly on “Bai Feifei” and He Jinfan.
“What insolent and disgusting existences.”
“From the day I first learned of your existence, I knew we would eventually have a battle.”
He paused, his pupil-less eyes staring intently at Xu Mo.
“An organization like yours should have perished in history long ago.”
“You should have died in peace.”
“Instead of harboring such unrealistic delusions.”
As the words fell, Xu Mo raised an eyebrow.
He Jinfan's bluff actually scared this thing out?
Jiahao-esque theatrics actually came through.
