"So, if it's the end of the world, why don't you do the same thing as to help the world? Wouldn't it be better to just build an apocalyptic fortress to protect your own one-third of an acre of land?"
Shaking his head with some regret, Lin Cheng couldn't help but mutter a few words in his heart. This Master Luka has wisdom and means, but he only lacks the most important thing in the apocalypse, which is ruthlessness!
This kind of ruthlessness is not just about teaching a few disobedient subordinates or killing a few restless ability users. If from the beginning of the end of the world, Master Luka would use thunderous means to clear away the moths in the manor, and at the same time use the shortest possible time.
Build up a doomsday fortress to build your own small kingdom, firmly hold all the rights in your own hands, and not waste energy on managing the survivors who have nothing to do with him in the city. Then even if there is a problem within the fortress, he can be the first to do so.
Time noticed it and eradicated it with thunderous force.
It's a pity that Mr. Luca has taken the soft route from the beginning. Maybe he thinks that as long as he has the will of the people, he can do whatever he wants in this city, but he has forgotten the nature of human beings. In such an environment of the end of the world, as long as he gives those
If people get a chance, they will instantly forget everything Mr. Luca has done before, and instead take everything he owns as his own. This is not to blame on anyone. This is destined to be what he has to pay for his innocence.
cost!
Shaking his head, Lin Cheng stopped thinking about it. It can only be said that Mr. Luka has brought it upon himself to get to this point. Moreover, he will have to face his own interrogation later. He is simply the ultimate unlucky guy.
"So...so I was wrong from the beginning?"
Staring at Mr. Luca with a despairing look on his face, Katerina raised her head stiffly and murmured to herself with a look of helplessness on her face.
"Well, no matter what happened before, it's over now. I still have a lot of things to do. If you have any questions, it's not too late to ask after I leave."
After waving his hand, Lin Cheng picked up Mikhail again and waved to Katerina and Mr. Luka, signaling them to follow him quickly.
Even though they were deeply reluctant, the current situation forced Katerina and Master Luka to follow Lin Cheng slowly towards Katerina's villa.
More than ten minutes later, the three of them returned to Katerina's villa without any hindrance. They casually threw Mikhail, who was almost alive, on the floor of the living room. Lin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked up.
I saw Leah running down the stairs in a hurry.
"nailed it?"
Glancing at Mr. Luka who looked depressed, Liya asked Lin Cheng in a low voice.
"Well, you take Mrs. Katerina upstairs first. I have something to talk to Mr. Luca alone."
Nodding, Lin Cheng raised his chin and pointed at Katerina, signaling Leah to send her away first.
After hearing what Lin Cheng said, Liya didn't ask any more questions. She nodded to Katerina and motioned for her to follow her.
"You...forget it."
Faintly aware that Lin Cheng's attitude towards her had changed, Katerina was about to speak, but after a moment of hesitation, she closed her mouth and followed Leah towards the second floor.
After the two women went upstairs, Lin Cheng pointed to the sofa beside him and motioned for Mr. Luka to sit down. Then he lit a cigarette and asked: "Continuing with the topic just now, do you have any questions about fire crystals and that mysterious material?"
Don’t you have anything to tell me?”
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Mr. Luka sighed softly and asked, "You probably learned about the fire crystal from Yegorov, right?"
"uh-huh."
Lin Cheng nodded and flicked the ashes of his cigarette, "You think very quickly. You guessed this so quickly."
Master Luka shook his head when he heard this, "There is nothing to guess. Ever since I met Yegorov, he has never been absent from the banquets I hosted, but today he was inexplicably absent. And he is just right.
There was a fire crystal, so I had a vague feeling that he might be in trouble, but I didn't expect that he was already dead..."
Having said this, Mr. Luka reached out to Lin Cheng for a cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath before continuing: "However, since you learned the secret of the fire crystal from Yegorov, you should also know about the fire crystal."
How to use the crystal, right? According to the normal consumption rate, that one fire crystal is enough for you to use for a long, long time. Why are you so impatient to come to me to snatch more fire crystals? After all, for such a powerful person like you
For a weak foreigner, it is a very risky thing to come to trouble me."
With a faint smile, Lin Cheng slowly exhaled the smoke, "First of all, I never do anything I'm not sure of. The fact that I dare to come to you means that I have full confidence that I can evacuate safely even if I can't get the fire crystal.
Second, you and I both understand that although there are two ways to use fire crystals, there is only one way to truly fully absorb the energy of fire crystals! This is a method that others dare not try easily, but as the first discovery
Master Luka, you don’t know about the ability user of the fire crystal, do you?”
"This...this is impossible!"
Hearing this, Master Luka's expression suddenly changed, "There are indeed two ways to absorb fire crystals, but the 'perfect absorption method' you mentioned is simply impossible for normal humans to do!"
"you sure?"
Seeing the disbelief on Mr. Luka's face, Lin Cheng chuckled and said, "Then you won't tell me that as the first person to discover fire crystals, you still use the absorption method until now, right?"
"..."
Looking at Lin Cheng's half-smiling face, Mr. Luka's expression changed for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, I did use the perfect absorption method that others dare not try. This method is indeed effective.
It’s much faster than the normal absorption method. But until now, I can only sustain it for ten minutes at most. If it exceeds this time, I will get backlash!”
Hearing Master Luka say that he actually used the perfect absorption method, Lin Cheng couldn't help but look at him with admiration. People who have never tried the perfect absorption method don't understand how dangerous the process is. Even he, who has the ability to control ice, has no idea how dangerous the process is.
He almost died, but Mr. Luka, who had no fighting ability, was able to persist for ten minutes by relying on his will. It must be said that he was an absolutely ruthless person.
But what he couldn't figure out was that as an esper with no fighting ability, Master Luka was torturing himself like this to improve his abilities. What was his purpose?
As if aware of Lin Cheng's doubts, Master Luka hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Actually, I don't want to suffer that kind of inhuman torture at all, but I can't help it. I am a bit...a bit weird.
, I don’t really like having people with abilities around me, so I want to improve my mental development as much as possible to find other ways to protect myself.” (To be continued)
