The masked man let out a shrill groan, his whole body arched up like a shrimp, and he knelt down on the ground clutching his stomach.
"I didn't insult you..."
Lin Ci slowly squatted down.
His eyes were indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
"From now on, you will answer whatever I ask, understand?"
The masked man nodded frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice.
The mask swayed up and down, and the blood inside rippled.
"I understand! I understand!"
"Have you ever seen a man wearing a red mask? The same mask as you, but with the Chinese character '中' (zhong) written in red on his face?"
The masked man nodded almost without hesitation.
"I've met him, he's my boss."
Lin Ci was stunned when he heard this.
He had considered countless possibilities: coercion, bribery, or even soul-searching.
But I never expected the process to go so smoothly.
"No way, you just betrayed your boss like that?"
The masked man's voice was already choked with sobs, sounding extremely aggrieved.
"I fear pain."
Lin Ci: "..."
"Then why did you act so arrogantly in the first place? What were you trying to provoke?"
The masked man said, his voice trembling with tears.
"My boss said that we have to put on a show in front of outsiders, otherwise what's the difference between us and not putting on a show at all?"
Lin Ci fell silent again.
Although it's a truism, it seems to make a bit of sense.
Looking at the cowardly masked man in front of him, a sudden idea flashed into his mind.
I'm so stupid, really.
Why don't I just strip off his mask and see who he is?
Why waste time talking to him here?
Thinking of this, Lin Ci no longer hesitated and reached out to grab the black mask that was so close to him.
However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the mask...
The masked man, who had been kneeling on the ground trembling, suddenly stiffened, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
His entire body instantly transformed into a cloud of black smoke, drifting backward and disappearing from sight.
A cold smile curved at the corners of Lin Ci's lips.
His current strength is immense.
The entire Hades Palace, and even the entire Underworld, were within his perception range.
He didn't even bother to turn his head, his gaze simply fixed indifferently on the direction of the main hall entrance.
The man in the elephant-shaped mask was limping and fleeing frantically out of the hall in a disheveled manner.
As he ran, he kept turning back to hurl threats, trying to salvage his already utterly lost face.
"You guys are cruel!"
"Lin Ci, you'd better catch up with me!"
His voice echoed in the empty hall, filled with resentment and a fierce but cowardly demeanor.
Just as he was about to escape from the palace gates, he seemed to feel that he hadn't gotten enough satisfaction.
He turned back and, with all his might, let out a shocking shout.
"If you catch up with me, I'll let you have your way with me!"
Chapter 81 Don't you have a mother?
After saying this, the masked man's figure almost disappeared into the darkness outside the hall.
But the next second.
His body suddenly stiffened as an invisible force gripped the back of his neck, lifting him abruptly from the doorway.
Both feet left the ground, and the body flew backward uncontrollably.
The masked man waved his limbs in disbelief in mid-air, his legs kicking wildly backward.
His movements were comical, like a frog being lifted up.
However, it was of no use.
And so, to everyone's astonishment, he was pulled back to his front by Lin Ci's telekinetic power.
The masked man made a gurgling sound in his throat, the sound of him swallowing his saliva in fear.
"I was just kidding, bro. Look at you, you're getting too witty..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ci's lips curled into a cold, emotionless smile.
"That's really funny. How about I crack a joke on you too?"
Lin Ci slowly reached out her hand towards the masked man's head, her five fingers slightly spread.
That movement made it seem as if they were going to rip his skull open.
The masked man's body trembled violently.
He no longer cared about saving face.
"Plop" sound.
"Brother! I was wrong!"
"I'm not running away anymore! Please don't hit me, okay?"
His voice was thick with sobs, sounding extremely aggrieved.
Lin Ci's eyes twitched involuntarily as she looked at his cowardly appearance.
This guy is more pragmatic than Tara.
Tara, who was not far away, sneezed for no reason and rubbed her nose.
"Who's thinking of me? Could it be my mom?"
The whale shark king standing next to him frowned, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
It seemed that they felt it would be a loss of face for Lin Ci to say such things in this serious setting.
But Tara was completely unaware of it.
Seeing the whale shark king's gaze, he retorted with a straight face.
Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you have a mother?
As soon as he said it, he immediately realized that what he said was inappropriate and hurriedly tried to correct himself.
"What I mean is, doesn't your mother miss you?"
The Whale Shark King let out a very soft snort, too lazy to pay any attention to this clown.
Lin Ci's patience was almost completely worn out.
He crouched down, his gaze level with that of the masked man kneeling on the ground.
"Just answer what I say, and stop talking nonsense, understand?"
The masked man nodded frantically, and the mask swayed up and down like a rattle.
"understand!"
Lin Ci's voice was very low, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.
"are you……"
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
The masked man before them vanished into thin air once more, his body turning into a cloud of black smoke.
Lin Ci was so angry that he laughed.
He slowly rose, his gaze indifferent as he looked toward the entrance of the main hall.
That disheveled figure reappeared there.
He didn't even dare to turn around, but the icy gaze behind him, so real it made the hairs on his body stand on end.
A sudden chill ran through my body.
Then, his figure once again turned into smoke and disappeared completely from the hall.
The smile on Lin Ci's face vanished completely.
“Chase him, he’s outside the palace.”
Holy Lord, Tara, Yuanzheng, Whale Shark King, along with Taiyin and Taiyang, the six figures instantly received the order.
It transformed into a streak of light and sped away from the palace.
On that barren, black land, the man in the elephant-shaped mask stopped running.
He stood in an open space, watching the Holy Lord and others chase after him from inside the palace, and even beckoned with his finger in a provocative manner.
Come on, come on!
Dark red flames ignited on the Holy Lord's imposing body, as if he were about to step forward.
