Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1338 The Third Explosion

Ten minutes passed and Qiu Xinli still didn't move.

She just stood there with a knife in her hand, ten meters away from Lin Yu and his group, looking up at the sky from time to time, as if waiting for something.

As for what she was waiting for...

No one knows.

On Lin Yu's side, no one took the initiative to attack Qiu Xinli or make any additional moves.

After all, if time drags on, it will be beneficial to Lin Yu and the others.

Although they were avoiding pursuit from the Universal General Chamber of Commerce, now that they had been ambushed by Qiu Xinli, it would actually be a good thing if the elite troops of the Universal General Chamber of Commerce could arrive.

No matter how arrogant Qiu Xinli was, she would never kill another royal noble in front of the pursuers from the Sorens family.

Even if the Sorens family wanted to see Buyetian Huoming die, they would never let Buyetian Huoming die on their own territory.

Therefore, Huo Ming of Buyetian definitely did not intend to fight with Qiu Xinli first.

She was just being prepared to be on guard.

only……

The longer Qiu Xinli stood there, the more uneasy Buye Tian Huo Ming felt.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

Dongming Shuliu shook his head: "I don't know, Boss... Could it be that she has some quirk?"

"Damn it, I don't know her at all, and I haven't heard of her having any quirks..."

During the conversation, the circular area with a radius of about 50 meters that was formed after Qiu Xinli dispersed the wind and sand was now being eroded again by the wind and sand outside, and the encirclement became much smaller.

Qiu Xinli raised the knife and swung it gently to the side. The long knife dragged a pale light in the air, and then an invisible force spread out, repelling the wind and sand again.

Seeing Qiu Xinli using the knife again, Fu Luo couldn't help it.

"I always feel that dragging it on like this is not a solution. We need to find out what this guy wants to do."

Huo Ming looked at Fu Luo and said, "Mr. Fu Erbo Luo, you are the most famous detective in the Never-Sleeping City. Do you have any clues?"

"I'm a detective, not a prophet," Fu Luo sighed, "How do I know what this guy is thinking?"

Buyetian Huoxing thought for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "I have an idea. Why don't you... let me try it?"

After hearing what Buyetian Huoxing said, Buyetian Huoming subconsciously wanted to reject her.

But thinking of his sister's identity as the "Fairy Queen" and the fact that there was no better way at the moment, Huo Ming had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, but... be careful and don't be too aggressive."

Huo Xing from the Nightless Sky smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Huo Ming, I know my limits. I don't want to be struck by the White Bone Temple."

As she spoke, she took a step towards Qiu Xinli.

Qiu Xinli saw Buyetian Huoxing's actions and also looked over.

Huo Xing looked at Qiu Xinli and said frankly, "Sir Qiu Xinli, I'd like to ask, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Hearing Buyetian Huoxing's words, Buyetian Huoming held his forehead.

"Her idea was to ask Qiu Xinli directly?"

Dongming Shuliu and Fu Luo also felt a headache.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, looked very interested.

"Maybe this trick will actually work."

And after Lin Yu finished speaking...

Qiu Xinli over there actually responded to Buyetian Huoxing's question.

"I've been sent here to kill all of you."

Qiu Xinli responded briefly.

Buyetian Huoxing shook her head: "I already know this, but what I want to ask is... why haven't you done anything yet?"

"If you're here to kill us, why are you just standing there?"

Qiu Xinli whispered, "Because I'm waiting for the signal."

"Signal?"

Buyetian Huoxing asked back.

Qiu Xinli continued to answer patiently: "Yes, the signal - only by killing you at a specific time can this mission be considered successfully completed."

"If it's too early or too late, the effect will be reduced."

Watching the conversation between the two, Huo Ming of Buyetian was extremely shocked.

"Can I really ask directly?"

Although Huo Ming of Buyetian had heard about the eccentric personality of Qiu Xinli, the rising star of the Qiu family, she really didn't expect that the other party would be so eccentric.

When facing the enemy's questions in front of the battle line, he would actually answer them as usual!

Afterwards, Buyetian Huoming thought of his sister "Buyetian Huoxing" who was also known for her "eccentric temperament", so he couldn't help but think about it.

Is this the kind of mutual understanding between "freaks"?

Thinking of this, Huo Ming looked at Qiu Xinli and asked.

"Why did you want to kill us in this specific incident? Who did you want to kill? Who did you mean by 'you'?"

Qiu Xinli shook her head slightly when she heard Huo Ming's question from Buyetian.

"No comment."

Huo Ming of Buyetian showed an expression as if he had eaten a fly, and couldn't help feeling a little angry.

"What……?"

Why is there nothing to say when it comes to me?

However, she quickly suppressed her unhappy feelings.

After all, Buyetian Huoming could also understand it - the questions asked by Buyetian Huoxing seemed to be subtly stuck at a scale that the other party could just answer.

However, the question I asked was too specific, so the other party was unable to answer it.

After Buyetian Huoming's attempt failed, Buyetian Huoxing asked again: "So, what form does the 'signal' take?"

"explode."

Qiu Xinli answered Buyetian Huoxing's question again.

"The first explosion means I'm going to take action and confirm your whereabouts."

"The second explosion means I will find you and stop you."

"The third explosion will be the official signal to take action."

Qiu Xinli lowered her eyes: "Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

As she finished her words, the tip of the knife dropped to the ground.

Lin Yu frowned slightly when he heard the other party's words.

"Three explosions... In other words, she was already lurking in the Great Wasteland when the Great Wastelanders attacked us."

"So... what do the first two explosions have in common?"

"The first time, the Great Wilderness people attacked and blew up our car, using a missile called 'Breakpoint'. The second explosion directly destroyed our base. Considering that the killers in that base anticipated our arrival and set up a diversionary tactic, it must have been an alchemical bomb buried in advance..."

"So what form will the third explosion take?"

Lin Yu was thinking and suddenly thought of something.

"The first and second times, they destroyed the vehicles we were riding in, and eliminated most of the people following us..."

"So, the third explosion was probably aimed at us... The killer might not have known we would take this route, so this explosion probably wasn't a pre-planned bomb."

When Lin Yu thought of this, he suddenly seemed to realize why Qiu Xinli had been constantly clearing the wind and sand here.

He raised his head and looked at the clear sky that stretched all the way to the sky.

"Respected Lord Huo Ming of the Nevernight Sky, I'd like to ask you something... Does the Divine Power Group have large-scale aerial combat units in the Great Wilderness? Something like the 'Wrathful Throne'?"

Huo Ming of Buyetian was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Yu's words, and then he reacted.

"Yes... 'KS-001', a large-scale aerial mobile alchemy hub nicknamed 'Sky King'."

"You mean, that thing will come here?"

Lin Yu nodded: "I'm afraid so."

"Impossible...right?"

Huo Ming of Buyetian subconsciously wanted to refute, but before she could give her reasons, she saw a huge dark shadow appear on the south side of the sandstorm wall surrounding them.

Afterwards, the pitch-black giant ship in the sky broke through the dividing line forcibly created by Qiu Xinli, like a giant whale emerging from the water, blocking out the already dim sky above everyone's heads.

The angular black metal base was painted with the iconic "double fist" logo of the Divine Power Group, and the black muzzles were pointed at the ground. Before several people could recover from the shock of the appearance of this steel behemoth, alchemical energy suddenly erupted and began to bombard the ground!

"boom!"

A turquoise light burst out from the muzzle and fell to the ground, causing continuous explosions!

The green light of the explosion kept flashing, and the sound was extremely loud, but it did not cause any substantial damage to the surroundings.

Because what is pouring out and creating the explosion is pure "life energy"!

Green life energy poured onto the ground, revitalizing the plant seeds and animal remains remaining in the originally barren and dead soil. Grass and trees grew wildly from the cracks in the sand and gravel, and a large number of lush shrubs and vines appeared under the feet of the crowd, and soon grew to more than a person's height.

These trees do not have real life, but are just "pseudo-life" forcibly produced by life energy. Therefore, if you look closely, their shapes are distorted and unreasonable, and they even blend into each other, like low-quality AI-generated images.

Moreover, after the plants grew wildly, some animal flesh and blood soon emerged among the grass and trees. The distortion of the shapes of these animals was more obvious than that of the plants. The lumps of flesh had no obvious differentiation of limbs, facial features, or internal organs, but only tissues of similar structures fused together.

Being in a place like this, just seeing the scene in front of you makes people feel dizzy.

This situation is even worse than directly causing an explosion!

Huo Ming, suppressing the urge to vomit, whispered, "So that's what's going on... Qiu Xinli and the Qiu family—they're planning to disguise this as a top-level 'alchemical accident' and artificially create a new 'alchemical restricted zone' to eliminate the evidence!"

Qiu Xinli's voice came faintly through layers of twisted plants and animals.

"Yes."

"This is where you will be buried..."

Then, the words fell.

A white, thin line of light suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yu!

Qiu Xinli's slashing attack has arrived at this moment!
