This villain, please exercise some restraint.

"But I think if you say that again, these three guys will go to heaven, right?"

Akun glanced at the three people with dull faces and said with a smile.

"Listen to me, you now seek death."

"Listen to me, you now seek death."

The third sentence of "Mian" was spoken immediately after the second sentence, but a voice overlapped with his words.

It's a boy with a wolf tail.

A breath of clarity flashed across the protagonist's eyes, and then became covered with turbidity.

The hand covering his neck tightened tightly, and soon his lips became cyanotic.

Jiejie's frowned eyebrows relaxed. Just now he had thought that these two guys were here to cause trouble.

Gritting his teeth, Lan Shi saw that several people were about to return to the west, so he raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

"Wow! World!"

Temperance was shocked and turned his head to take a look.

At this glance, Lan Shi immediately rushed into the circle surrounded by several puppets and came to An Xu, Ye Jiang, and Xia Xiaotong.

"Brother An, I said that I will do my best when doing tasks with you. Now this is all I can do for you!"

He spoke quickly and kept moving his hands. Soon, the golden light spilling from his fingertips turned into three golden threads, connecting the three bodies.

Under Ye Jiang, An Xu, and Xia Xiaotong, there was a faint shadow of a golden lotus.

Under Lan Shi's feet, there was an ominous bloody light.

The wolf-tailed boy narrowed his eyes slightly and became serious in a rare moment.

It seems to be an incredible skill... Was it obtained through "God's gift"?

The world far away in the main hall seemed to feel something and raised its head.

With a gentle flick, the scene around him suddenly became clear before his eyes.

"Blood... Temperance seems to have really touched the root this time. The protagonist team is unable to resist and wants to change the current predicament. That card... has reached the moment that it has to be used."

"It just so happens that the 'Chosen One' is also present, but it's not to the point of forcing it to be activated."

"However, this card is not in the activation sequence, and the activation time is not very mature... Maybe I should use my strength and give it a gentle push."

"Sorry, Temperance."

He sighed, and a wisp of white light drifted from his fingertips and disappeared into the scene in front of him. The world was lightly touched by his fingertips, and the surroundings returned to silence.

At the same time, a gust of wind blew by, and a strength card in Temperance's pocket also fell.

The moment Temperance's fingertips touched the card, a ray of white light flashed through, and then his eyes returned to the same state as before.

The card is gone.

"Hey Temperance, are you looking for me?"

On the wall of the tower, a young man in blue clothes and red trousers put his hands behind his head, hanging upside down, attached to the wall of the tower, with a comfortable expression.

"I guess you want to summon me in the reverse position? But unfortunately, the Hanged Man's upright position is indeed very similar to the reverse position - I won't say it anymore, I'm afraid I have to take action."

"Otherwise, this guy is really hopeless."

As he spoke, the Hanged Man's legs, which were crawling on the wall of the tower like a gecko, kicked hard, and he quickly "shot" towards the unconscious boy with headphones lying on the ground.

"Oh haha~ The acrobatics are pretty good."

The wolf-tailed boy couldn't help but clapped his hands and smiled brightly.

"Little rascal."

The moment before the Hanged Man sank into Lan Shi's body, he responded mischievously to A Kun.

Just three words, A Kun couldn't laugh anymore.

He felt a chill.

Maybe the Hanged Man doesn't mean any harm, but it's still... disgusting.

After the Hanged Man submerged into Lan Shi's body, he completely disappeared. At the same time, "Mian" and the three protagonists opened their eyes almost at the same time.

"The 'Slave' Gu has been eliminated."

"Mian" murmured to himself, the shock on his face even though he tried his best to hide it, some of it leaked out.

Temperance and the other protagonists looked at each other for a moment, then laughed in anger.

If he read it correctly, the white light just now came from the world.

No matter what he thought, he never thought that the world would stab him in the back.

Aren't they... in the same camp?

It was even the world that pushed him to be on the opposite side of the protagonist group.

He remembered that the magician said that power cards could only be unlocked sequentially.

So...what's going on now?

For a moment, true and false appeared in front of his eyes, and he suddenly couldn't recognize it.

He suddenly felt a kind of anger coming from the bottom of his heart.

The world, a guy that he never considered betrayal at all, a guy that he subconsciously trusted.

Betrayed him.

Even if it's just a small one, it's a force that's so small that he might miss it if he blinks his eyes.

But he happened to see it, he actually saw it.

He might as well be... invisible.

"'sleep."

Trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, Temperance spoke as calmly as possible.

"Father...Temperance."

"Mian" looked at Temperance worriedly.

"Send them out."

Temperance turned his back, and the trembling voice at the end of his words revealed the extreme unrest in his heart.

"...deliver?"

"Mian" suspected that he didn't hear clearly.

"Yes, send them out respectfully. I don't want to see these three... no, these four guys again."

Temperance repeated.

"Mian" was silent.

A few breaths later——

"Mian" reluctantly made a "please" gesture towards the four of them.

"and many more."

Temperance calls out "sleep."

"It's time for those puppets of yours to get rid of their poison. Let these people get away."

"......Yes."

"Mian" looked sad for a moment, then replied.

My father was unhappy, and it seemed that he too... couldn't be happy anymore.

The protagonist group, Mo Linger, and Song Xiaoyun were taken out by Mian. As for Lan Shi, who was still in a coma, he was resisted by the petite Ah Qiao.

The surroundings instantly returned to silence.

The wolf-tailed boy stared at Jiejie's inexplicably lonely back and touched his nose.

"Well...Brother Jie, I know you are quite sad right now, but I just want to ask, can you be friends with me?"

"Okay." Temperance answered simply.

"Brother Najie, do you consider me a friend now?"

With his eyes slightly narrowed, the wolf-tailed boy took out his experience counter and quietly leaned forward.

"of course."

"Then...can I scan you?"

"can."

This NPC seems to have lost its ability to resist.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Akun used the experience counter to scan Temperance's back.

Then his hands began to shake uncontrollably.

It's not that he gained experience points because of his status as a "friend", but——

He saw with his own eyes a large series of numbers on his experience counter, and quickly... cleared it to zero.

"Jie... Brother Jie..."

Akun shouted in a low voice.

Perhaps because he was annoyed by being called, Temperance took two steps forward and was about to leave.

The wolf-tailed boy swooped down and hugged Temperance's thigh.

His heart was bleeding right now.

How hard it is for me to think about it. I have to be so damn curious and want to earn some experience points from the NPC Temperance. Now it’s better. In just one breath, I have become a complete pauper.

He has no hair left on his body now.

"Brother Jie, do you still need a little brother? I mean, the kind who lives and works for you?"

He shouted, his face buried between his arms full of pain.

"......No shortage."

Temperance's answer was equally straightforward.

"Well, what are you missing? Let me see if I can do it? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I'm... happy to help."

He almost said it through gritted teeth.
