Chapter 186: Politely Declined
Chapter 186: Politely Declined
“I still refuse.”
As soon as Lu Bai said this, not only did Haide Prison Area Chief’s action of straightening his uniform collar stagnate.
Even the Fanatic, who had been thrown aside earlier and whose head was still somewhat dizzy, began to suspect if he had misheard.
From Haide Prison Area Chief’s performance in making his move, it was clear that this Deathmatch Arena was obviously not some normal modern setting, and individual combat power might be higher than imagined.
And precisely because of this, the Fanatic completely could not understand why Lu Bai insisted on seeking death.
With such a huge gap in combat power between the two sides, it would be better to be honest; maybe he could still save his life.
Even in the most ideal situation, he would have to serve time in prison, but that was still better than dying outright, right?
Lu Bai did not explain, silently replacing the main title [Pure Smile (Two Stars)] with [Destroy Heaven and Earth (Four Stars)].
At the same time, he canceled the hiding of the secondary title; [Frenzied Slaughter (Four Stars)] and [Ultimate Murderer (Four Stars)], these two murderous titles, immediately appeared above his head.
The three lines of text above his head were in a black-red tone throughout, as if forged from blood, and they dried and blackened over time.
Incidentally, he had upgraded the [Destroy Heaven and Earth] title once; he just hadn’t worn it before.
In other words, all three titles currently above his head were Four Stars.
In a flash, suffocating killing intent centered on his position and diffused outward.
Seeing the three titles that suddenly appeared above Lu Bai’s head, the Fanatic was shocked to the point of nearly popping his eyeballs out.
“This… how is that possible…”
Without exaggeration, under this heavy killing intent that seemed about to condense into substance, the Fanatic felt as if he could even smell the thick bloody smell.
Haide Prison Area Chief in the distance, under this mysterious change of circumstance, frowned for the first time since his appearance.
He indeed could not see the titles worn by the Death Fighter, nor did he know that titles provided passive effects to Death Fighters.
But he could easily sense Lu Bai’s completely different aura, and even vaguely see the faint blood-colored waves around Lu Bai.
A strong ominous premonition filled Haide Prison Area Chief’s mind; the figure standing before him no longer seemed like a harmless youth, but a bloody abyss filled with coldness and killing intent.
Out of duty, he forcibly suppressed the instinctive impulse to escape, his complexion grave as he moved his wrist.
“I was the one who misjudged; turns out you’re the most dangerous one among these people.”
Such terrifying killing intent— who knew how many people he had to personally slaughter to cultivate it. Thinking of this, Haide Prison Area Chief couldn’t help but secretly complain.
Regardless of anything else, just this bone-chilling terrifying aura was barely enough to throw him into B Prison Section.
To assign such a dangerous guy to D Prison Section—what the hell were they doing over in the interrogation room?
Lu Bai made a very ordinary lifting-foot action, but in the next instant, he crossed a distance out of thin air and appeared beside the Fanatic.
He waited with a smile on his face for a moment, then turned to face Haide Prison Area Chief.
Crack!
With Lu Bai’s turn, a crisp bone-cracking sound rang out; the Fanatic’s neck twisted, as if violently kicked apart by someone’s foot, and the person stopped breathing on the spot.
[Ding!]
[Points +1, Current Rank 5/186]
Witnessing this scene, Haide Prison Area Chief’s eyes gradually narrowed, a layer of fine sweat beads unconsciously seeping from his forehead.
Something’s wrong; this kid is very wrong!
He stared with full concentration, yet he didn’t see at all how Lu Bai made his move.
In his cognition, the greatest possibility was that Lu Bai’s speed was faster than his nerve reaction speed.
But… how is that possible?!
No matter how high the talent, he shouldn’t have such formidable skill at this age, right?
Lu Bai naturally wouldn’t explain to this Prison Area Chief mister what [Flash Time] was; his face still bore that pure, brilliant smile.
“Haide Prison Area Chief, right?”
He scratched his head, as if just remembering the other’s name.
Without waiting for the Prison Area Chief to answer, he continued on his own: “Your job is to stop prisoners from jailbreaking; I can understand that, so I don’t want to fight you…”
He paused, slightly restraining his smile: “However, if you insist on trying to stop me, I don’t mind either.”
With that, he turned and walked toward the prison’s wall.
Haide Prison Area Chief watched Lu Bai leave with a grave expression.
Should he make a move and exchange a few blows with this strange youth?
Haide was very hesitant.
Frankly speaking, he really couldn’t figure out what was going on with Lu Bai’s previous two strikes.
Until he figured it out, he was unwilling to take the risk.
Intense banging sounds were still coming from inside the iron door, annoying Haide so much that he vented by smashing the thick iron door with a single punch.
The prison guards on the other side of the iron door suffered greatly, a chorus of screams rising.
After venting like this, Haide Prison Area Chief calmed down a bit, and he soon felt something was off.
If Lu Bai was really this strong, why was he locked up in prison?
To know, the prisoners in D Prison Section were basically not captured by experts when brought to justice.
If it was for some idea, voluntarily staying in prison, there shouldn’t be any reason for jailbreaking, let alone joining forces with a few wastes for jailbreaking.
The more he thought, the more he felt there was a big problem here.
“I… wasn’t… tricked, was I?”
Realizing this possibility, Haide Prison Area Chief’s teeth ground with a creaking sound.
Immediately, his feet moved, taking three steps as two, charging wildly in the direction Lu Bai left; after running some distance, his legs even explosively powered, helping him leap dozens of meters at once.
Without a doubt, this was completely beyond human-level jumping ability.
For Haide, however, it was just normal travel.
……
To maintain the mysterious and unfathomable vibe, Lu Bai had been strolling leisurely before.
After leaving Haide Prison Area Chief’s field of vision, he switched to full speed, even using [Flash Time] during it to maximize movement efficiency as much as possible.
But in the end, he had wasted too much time at the start.
Plus, their movement speeds were not on the same level at all.
He had just touched the prison’s high wall when a deafening roar came from behind.
Glancing back, he could see Haide Prison Area Chief crossing over a hundred meters with one big jump.
Lu Bai estimated that in two or three more, he would be right in front of him.
At this point, the trump card [Ink Black] obviously couldn’t be hidden anymore.
He didn’t care if Haide Prison Area Chief could see clearly, just smiling in that direction.
Then, casually raising his hand, he snapped his fingers.
The next second, endless black paint that seemed capable of devouring everything spread crazily, instantly covering the entire prison.
