Chapter 504 The mission to stab Su Mo in the back? Don’t underestimate the Black King!
The unexpected impact made Zero's brain instantly dull.
It was difficult for her to understand for a moment, or she subconsciously resisted understanding the meaning of Lu Mingze's words.
However, after all, she was not the type to hide her ears and avoid problems, and she quickly sorted out the current situation.
The reason why she stayed with Su Mo all the time was simply because of her mission. Her mission was to protect Su Mo.
Now, since Lu Mingze said that this mission was over, it meant that she no longer needed to protect Su Mo.
It also means - separation.
She stayed with Su Mo for so long that she almost forgot that staying with Su Mo was just a short-term mission that started more than a month ago. Her real position should be in the nanny group.
Therefore, when she heard that the mission was over, she should just follow the orders and return to her previous life, just like every previous mission, and return to a life where she would not be bullied by Xia Mi and Su Mo.
Logically speaking, this is something worth looking forward to.
According to past experience, this is something that does not require any hesitation.
However……
"Why?"
A slightly deep girl's voice suddenly sounded, Ling's petite palms clenched slightly, still looking at the ground with his head lowered, his white teeth biting slight marks on his bright red lips.
It was obvious that she asked this question.
After hearing this, Su Enxi and Jiude Mai looked at each other with expressions of great astonishment.
In their minds, this was the first time in their history that Zero had questioned Lu Mingze's order.
In the past, this would have been almost unimaginable.
Among the trio of wet nurses, Zero has always been the simplest and most violent straight line. She never asks whether the task is reasonable or the meaning of the assigned task. She is just like a robot, even if it looks like she is obviously going to die.
She won't react at all to the task.
In Zero's eyes, enemies or obstacles have no meaning. They can just cut them off or explode them. If she cannot do this and cannot complete the task, it means that she is only at that level and there is no value in continuing to live.
She has always been the type who doesn't even care about her own life, and has no interest in knowing anything about the mission except what is necessary.
But now, not only did she not accept Lu Mingze's order immediately, she actually wanted to ask the reason behind it?
They know that Ling has changed a lot, and they also know that she cares about Su Mo, but for her to change on such a principled matter, and even question her boss, is this a bit too exaggerated?
She and Su Mo have only known each other for more than a month!
Under the surprised gazes of Jiude Mai and Su Enxi, Lu Mingze asked expressionlessly.
"what why?"
"Why end the mission?"
Zero can only describe his problem clearly.
"Isn't Su Mo the core of the plan? If we don't protect him, what will happen to the plan if something happens to him?"
The Sanwu girl raised her head and asked in the same cold tone as before.
From what she meant, it seemed that she raised the question out of public interest and because of Lu Mingze's mission.
It's definitely not out of any personal feelings.
Regarding this question, Lu Mingze asked again.
"Do you think that with your strength, you can really protect Su Mo now?"
"..."
As soon as he said this, Zero fell silent on the spot.
She suddenly understood why Miss Xia Mi had such an aggrieved expression when comparing the Dragon King's strength before.
Some things can only be understood by experiencing them yourself.
Lu Mingze's words were correct. With Su Mo's current strength, even without borrowing a mask, he could confront the Dragon King head-on. His strength was already above that of the Emperor-level hybrid, and he was only half a step away from the Dragon King's realm.
In the past, Zero could also use the gift of blood and the word spirit of Time Zero to assist Su Mo, but after Su Mo's exclusive word spirit awakened to the current level, he no longer needs zero to assist him.
In fact, Zero still became an emperor-level hybrid because of him. Even though he had become an emperor-level hybrid, Zero still couldn't help Su Mo. Su Mo knew everything she knew.
Lu Mingze didn't say that she didn't have the power to protect Su Mo now.
"I can work hard to become stronger!"
After a few seconds of silence, Zero clenched his small fists and spoke firmly.
If it was just due to a lack of strength, then she was willing to make up for it.
"Xia Mi has already laid a good foundation for me in the ancient boxing technique. You can also try to ask Su Mo to teach me the world-destroying word spirit. I am also working hard on his exclusive word spirit... I won't hold you back!"
She didn't think her strength could surpass Su Mo, but as long as she was close, she could still help Su Mo avoid many crises.
If this was the reason why Lu Mingze asked her to end the mission, she could definitely overcome this difficulty!
Faced with the girl's determination, Lu Mingze immediately shook his head.
"Even if you do this, you can only gain the power of the trumpet Su Mo, which is too far behind."
Saying that, without waiting for Zero to refute, he continued to add.
"Moreover, the most important problem is not your strength, but that Su Mo no longer needs protection. His strength has improved a bit too fast..."
Having said this, he showed a somewhat gloomy expression.
"Tsk! It's too strong, it's also a problem!"
"——!"
Hearing this unsettling tone, Zero suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
Su Mo is strong enough to protect himself. Although it is a pity, isn't this a good thing?
As an ally, why would Lu Mingze be troubled by Su Mo's becoming stronger?
She had an ominous premonition in her heart.
As if he noticed her surprise, Lu Mingze showed a joking expression and smiled.
"Why are you so surprised? No way? Do you really think that I really put my hope in Su Mo, so I wholeheartedly want to make him stronger?"
"..."
Zero opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Mingze, not seeing any flaws in his expression.
If it were Jiude Mai or Su Enxi, they probably wouldn't believe Lu Mingze's words at all, because the resources of the nanny group have been deeply bound to Su Mo's side, and betrayal is not something that can only be done by betrayal.
But Ling was different. As the person who knew Lu Mingze best among the nannies, she understood that Lu Mingze could indeed do this.
For his purpose, as long as the price is right, Lu Mingze can give up anyone, including the nanny group, and even himself.
If Lu Mingze was not in a desperate situation, he would definitely not place all his hopes on others.
After realizing this possibility, Zero felt a panic in his heart that he could not understand.
At this time, Lu Mingze continued to speak.
"Su Mo does have a special place, and this is what I want to take advantage of. Have you ever heard of being a pioneer for the king? I just need him as a tool to help me solve the two problems of Odin and the Black King, so he
It can’t be too weak, but it can’t be too strong either.”
"If he is too weak, it will not be enough to solve my problem. If he is too strong, wouldn't it be possible for him to backfire on me? Do you think I am someone who will bring hidden dangers to myself?"
Speaking of this, Lu Mingze showed a cruel smile on his face.
"So, it's best for Su Mo to defeat the Black King. Then I can step on their corpses and ascend to the final throne."
Hearing this, Zero seemed to have gone back in time and saw the fire when Black Swan Port was burning. At that time, Lu Mingze also left with corpses on the ground.
With Lu Mingze's character, he is really not joking, he can really do such a thing!
I'm afraid he had this plan in mind from the very beginning!
Thinking that Su Mo still knew nothing and had no idea that Lu Mingze was hiding in the shadows and might stab him in the heart at any time, Ling felt a pain in his chest and his breathing was completely messed up.
At this moment, Lu Mingze glanced at her and asked casually.
"You have a different opinion?"
"..."
Ling opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak.
She should have been just a machine performing tasks without any emotion. Let alone offering opinions, she shouldn't have even asked about the previous reasons.
According to past habits, she only needs to listen to the task and execute it.
However, if this is really all it takes, then what's going on with the pain burning in her chest?
"Very good. Since you have no objection, your current mission is officially over and you can start the next one."
Seemingly taking her silence as no opinion, Lu Mingze continued to advance the topic.
"Your new mission is to stay with Su Mo."
"?!"
Zero raised his head again, a little surprised.
Didn’t he say that there was no need to protect Su Mo?
As if he understood her expression, Lu Mingze immediately added.
"But this time you don't need to protect him, you just need to monitor him. Now Su Mo trusts you very much and is basically undefended. What you have to do is to use this trust to monitor him and find his weaknesses."
"I will give you instructions at the critical moment, and you will serve as my sharp blade to penetrate Su Mo's chest. He will definitely be in disbelief when the time comes!"
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Lu Mingze described this scene so vividly that Zero's eyes became completely sharp.
However, Lu Mingze seemed unaware and continued to ask.
"Can you complete this task?"
Of course not!
Ling originally wanted to say this, but Lu Mingze quickly waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter if you can't do it. You can also let Enxi come. Anyway, Su Mo trusts her a lot, but Mai can't. That guy Xia Mi seems to have a lot of objections to her figure!"
The most important thing about a fatal blow is surprise. Although Su Enxi's strength is far from enough, if it is a weapon like the Philosopher's Stone, Su Mo should not be able to withstand it in an undefended state.
After realizing that Lu Mingze was serious, Zero was silent for a few seconds and then changed his mind.
"I accept this mission!"
The girl's face was sealed like an iceberg, and her tone was as cold as ever. It was obvious that she had made a decision in her heart.
"Not bad! I knew you could do it!"
Lu Mingze grinned and touched the doll pillow at hand.
"You have always been a very obedient child. Only an obedient and useful child can avoid being abandoned. You will not be like this -"
As he spoke, he casually threw the doll pillow onto the floor.
"laugh!"
There was obviously no wind in the living room, but there was an invisible wind blade passing through it, tearing the doll pillow into eight pieces, revealing the sponge filling inside.
Zero lowered his head deeply, looked at the tattered doll fragments on the floor, and then looked at his toes.
"I see!"
After responding in this way, seeing that Lu Mingze had nothing else to say, she took heavy steps, her back looking as determined as Jing Ke who was about to assassinate the King of Qin at the edge of the Yishui River.
"boom!"
She closed the door gently.
·
Watching the girl's bleak figure disappear, the soundproof barrier closed again. Inside the living room, Su Enxi, who had been silent throughout the whole process, finally spoke.
"Is it necessary to say it to this extent? Isn't she the little cotton-padded jacket that you value most?"
Ling himself probably didn't realize how pitiful her back was when she left. Even Su Enxi, who often got along with her, couldn't help but feel maternal and wanted to hug her for comfort.
Unfortunately, it was not her who should be hugged at this time.
Therefore, she chose to torture her boss. If she hadn't dared to do so in front of Lu Mingze, she would have really wanted to ask her boss if he was a human being... although he was indeed not a human being.
Facing Su Enxi's question, Lu Mingze shook his head lightly.
"I taught her too many cruel truths. If the world was a large garbage dump, then what I taught her was how to survive in this garbage dump. The more cruel something is, the closer it is to the truth, and most of the things I taught her are how to survive in this garbage dump.
Most people never see this in their lifetime."
At this point, looking at the expression on Su Enxi's face that said "Isn't this good?", Lu Mingze continued without waiting for her to ask questions.
"But the world is not just an ugly garbage dump. Although there is indeed a lot of garbage here, she shouldn't live for this garbage. Someone should teach her other things, such as appreciating the flowers and plants besides the garbage.
, or the stars in the sky.”
"She has learned how to survive, now it's time to learn why she should survive..."
Just like him, although he talks about power and strength every day, the reason for his struggle is his brother, which has nothing to do with power.
After listening to what the two said, Mai Shutoku, who was already a little skeptical, finally understood.
"So, those words you just said were all lies? Boss, you didn't intend to let Sanwuniu kill the family out of justice?"
Seeing the genuine surprise on Jiude Mai's face, Lu Mingze also widened his eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey! That child is confused when he cares. Forget it if he doesn't see it. Why do you look at me like that, Mai?"
"Could it be that in your eyes, I am a shameless psychopath like Xia Mi, who likes to backstab allies, and even coerces a little girl to attack the person she likes, and then happily watches the tragedy of human relations from the sidelines?"
Hearing this, Mai Shutoku hesitated, thought for more than ten seconds, and finally nodded.
"Sorry, yes, although that female dragon may be stronger in terms of perversion, you are even worse in terms of psychosis."
Her face was filled with the expression "I also want to use euphemistic words, but the truth is like this, and I can't help it."
Most dragon kings are insane!
"OH! NO!"
Lu Mingze showed a hurt expression.
"I'm obviously sacrificing my own image, playing the role of a feudal patriarch who doesn't understand people's hearts. How could you misunderstand me so much? Is Enxi the only confidant in the world who can understand me?"
As he said that, he looked at Su Enxi with a moved expression. She was probably the first person to see that he was acting.
After hearing Lu Mingze's words, Su Enxi did not take the opportunity to seek promotion and salary increase, but scratched her cheek in embarrassment.
"Boss, although I did see that you were acting, are the things you said really not true? For example, letting Zero spy on Su Mo, and letting Su Mo and the Black King die together..."
"At first, I thought you were simply trying to scare her, but after thinking about it, I think what you said makes sense. Such an insidious plan is also in line with your style -"
"So, you really don't want Su Mo to help you overcome all difficulties, and then kick him away?"
When talking about the latter part, Su Enxi's expression became serious, and it was obvious that she was really confused.
She was indeed aware of Lu Mingze's intention from the beginning, but after she heard Lu Mingze's plan, she felt a little unsure.
Could it be that Lu Mingze was actually pretending to be joking, but actually secretly told Chen Cang his true plan?
It's not that Su Enxi is biased against Lu Mingze, but with Lu Mingze's style and integrity, it is really possible for him to do this.
The most important problem is that the plan Lu Mingze casually mentioned sounds a bit feasible and does not look like an act.
"Pfft! Even Enxi, you don't trust me? My heart is broken!"
Lu Mingze covered his chest, looking heartbroken.
After a few seconds of drama, he saw that the doubts on Su Enxi and Jiude Mai's faces had not dissipated. He sighed and suddenly returned to his serious expression.
"Oh, it makes me really sad that I have such an image as a boss in your minds! But you are too worried. No matter what you say, I will never do such a thing."
"How to say?"
Su Enxi asked curiously.
She had no confidence in Lu Mingze's integrity and bottom line, but she still trusted Lu Mingze's brain. If he said it was impossible to do this, there must be a special reason.
"First of all, if I really plan to attack Su Mo, then there must be something wrong with my brain to let Xia Mi's love brain become so strong... let alone stab Su Mo in the back, even if I break his waist
, this female dragon will have to fight me tooth and nail."
Lu Mingze sighed and said.
Not to mention that his current power is not complete, even if it is complete, it will take a lot of effort to deal with Xia Mi, a dual-god realm existence.
Not just him, anyone in this world who wants to deal with Su Mo must consider whether he can withstand Xia Mi's endless pursuit. She is not the weak Jormungandr before.
"Secondly, Su Mo's own strength is not that simple, otherwise I would not form an alliance with him, not to mention that he also knows where my weaknesses are. From the very beginning of our alliance, we have been in a relationship of mutual coercion."
Today, the balance of power between the two sides has changed direction.
It was indeed Lu Mingze who had the greater advantage in the beginning, but now, although it is a bit embarrassing to say it, in his current state, he really cannot defeat Xia Mi, a strong man in the dual god realm. Su Mo's side is the stronger one in terms of strength.
By.
Not to mention, Su Mo knew from the beginning that his weakness was Lu Mingfei.
If we really want to consider the issue of overturning the table, Lu Mingze's side is actually not qualified to overturn the table. The one who is really qualified to overturn the table is Su Mo's side.
Although I don't know whether Su Mo did it intentionally or unintentionally, his approach of giving the power of the Dragon King to Xia Mi did break down their weakness from the root.
Originally, Lu Mingfei was Lu Mingze's weakness, and Su Mo and Xia Mi were each other's weaknesses. The two sides were able to form a strategic deterrence balance.
But now, after Su Mo and Xia Mi have raised their strength, their side's weaknesses have disappeared directly, leaving only Lu Mingze's weaknesses exposed. In this case, it is Lu Mingze's side that should be worried.
That's right.
Fortunately, Xia Mi was obsessed with Su Mo and was too stupid to see this. Su Mo could see this but would not take the initiative to break the covenant, so it was still safe.
Lu Mingze didn't want to explain things in detail that would damage his character, so he just skipped them.
"And the last, and most important reason - you underestimate the Black King!"
After scanning the expressions of the two of them, Lu Mingze shook his head, his brows feeling a little heavy.
"You want to control Su Mo's growth rate so that he becomes as strong as the Black King so that both of them die together? Haha! Even Odin can't think of such an arrogant and stupid strategy!"
He sneered, his eyes sarcastic.
"Even I can't fully understand the true power of the Black King. He is a god who truly dominates all living things and is destined to destroy everything!"
"Facing a monster of this level, I never worried about Su Mo becoming stronger. I was only worried that he wouldn't be strong enough. If he hadn't insisted, I would have fed him all the Dragon Bone Crosses!"
"...In short, the Black King is not the kind of trouble that can be easily solved by our intrigues. It is a doomsday that we may not be able to overcome even if we work together and go all out!"
When the Black King was mentioned, Lu Mingze's eyes flashed with deep hatred and great fear.
Facing an opponent whose strength is unknown, if you only have one chance to challenge, the wisest strategy is to maximize your strength before taking action.
For Lu Mingze, the Black King was an unsolvable problem. How could he dig his own grave after finally getting help from Su Mo, the only person who could surpass him?
After saying this, Lu Mingze was silent for a few seconds before he calmed down from his intense emotions, and then murmured softly.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to misunderstand me so deeply. I suddenly understand how sad those middle-aged men feel when their daughters treat them like criminal reserves!"
No one in the team he personally led believed that he was a good person. Is this a loss of morality or a tragedy of the times?
"Isn't this your own problem?"
Su Enxi said tactfully.
"If it were an ordinary family, it would indeed be sad for a father to be treated like this, but who makes you, boss, a devil on death row? It's not normal to not be suspected, right?"
If Lu Mingze hadn't really been able to do this, they wouldn't be so worried.
"Well, what you said makes sense."
After thinking for a while, Lu Mingze nodded.
He actually listened.
"By the way, boss, your last performance was a little exaggerated. You used too much force when you tore the doll into pieces."
Su Enxi commented on the acting skills of Drama Boss.
"...Hey, it's true, but it doesn't matter. When it comes to Su Mo's safety, the kid has become a lot stupider. You shouldn't be able to tell."
Lu Mingze scratched his head, and then forced his respect.
"indeed."
Recalling Ling's back when he left, Su Enxi echoed.
