My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 195: Hindsight · The Selfish Nature of Man


With both parents deceased, AQ3399 suddenly became an orphan and is indeed currently in a state of extreme anger.

However...

Those six words earlier were prompted by Ma Ran.

Otherwise, no matter how furious, AQ3399 wouldn't dare act on his own accord.

Family annihilation is not worth mentioning.

At least AQ3399 is still alive, isn't he?

The Pursuer quickly responded: "I will compensate you! Let's talk later! Those guys are catching up!"

AQ3399 fell into deep thought.

The Pursuer killed his entire family clean, how does he plan to compensate him?

By conjuring up a pair of parents?

Utterly insane!

Incomprehensible!

However...

Still, nobody cared about AQ3399's thoughts.

After all, he's just a captive with almost no more value to exploit.

Whether his parents were alive or his whole family dead, no one cared.

Even if AQ3399 tearfully recounted this, it wouldn't resonate with anyone.

This is no foreknowledge...

After AQ3399 shared the news with nearby Earthlings, only President Huang Weiguo had a face that said "though it's amusing, I'll try to hold it in", which could barely be considered appropriate.

The others couldn't even bother to disguise their reactions.

Demon Child Zhang Kuang didn't know where he got a bottle of baijiu from, and was drinking it heartily.

Ma Ran remained expressionless, as if devoid of any emotional ripple within.

Su Qiangwei laughed recklessly, even raising her right hand to give AQ3399 a thumbs-up.

Is this...

A compliment?

AQ3399 thought he ought to be angry now.

Yet the reality was he didn't dare harbor feelings of anger.

If it weren't necessary to keep him for the Pursuer's transition, his soul would have shattered, and he would have met his doom.

Beep!

The Mental Network delivered a message.

The information came from the Pursuer's encrypted account.

Although tempted to blacklist them, AQ3399 hesitated for a long time, and dared not play small tricks in front of Ma Ran and the Demon Child.

"I was lying earlier!"

"I'm not an idiot, why would I harm a teammate's family?"

"Killing an entire family is true, but..."

"As for you, I only killed your friends and relatives."

"Your parents are with me, don't worry, they are temporarily safe."

Then followed several short videos proving AQ3399's parents were still alive.

At this point, AQ3399 hesitated whether to withdraw the six words he just sent.

But Ma Ran waved his hand, signaling him not to respond.

AQ3399 wasn't in a hurry.

He's merely a puppet on strings, doing whatever Demon Child or Prophet asks him to, having no human rights or freedom, nor bearing any responsibility, even if communication fails, it's Ma Ran's responsibility, having nothing to do with him.

Therefore...

The Pursuer was anxious.

For one who obsessively pursuits eternal life, if AQ3399 pulls something unexpected at the crucial moment and escapes with the eternal inheritance left by Sword Master Lin Qiubai, it would be a huge loss!

After all, he himself disowned all his close blood relatives within three generations, not daring to bet that AQ3399 might become just like him.

What if AQ3399 didn't care about hostages?

Silencing them?

Really easy.

But the consequences?

The slim hope seen in realizing a dream, if shattered, was completely unacceptable to the Pursuer!

"The things I said before were just some minor probing tactics."

The Pursuer, after being scolded, wasn't angry, his calm demeanor made AQ3399 feel creeped out.

He calmly wiped his face clean and responded peacefully: "Judging by your reaction, it seems normal, there shouldn't be any major issues."

"I'll bring the Crimson Hammer and Extremely Effective Monarch into the team."

"Oh..."

"Extremely Effective Monarch already responded and has joined!"

"Good! This account will be completely void after today."

"Let's refrain from contacting each other for five days."

"We'll notify you when we reach Earth."

"Don't do anything unnecessary."

"On our side, three Title Holders are cooperating."

"You must clearly understand what the cost of being smart will be!"

After sending this message, the Pursuer's account went offline like lightning.

Previously, the Pursuer provided videos proving AQ3399's parents were alive, serving as proof, as well as a threat.

But he felt that merely this wasn't safe enough.

So he enlisted the Crimson Hammer and Extremely Effective Monarch aboard, issuing a death threat to AQ3399.

The methods were blunt, not very aligned with the Pursuer's usual behavior pattern.

Instead, it seemed more like the style of the Extremely Effective Monarch.

AQ3399 glanced at Ma Ran next to him, feeling very uncomfortable.

Comfort?

Forget it!

Even though it's a benign deceit, they didn't bother to speak, seemingly feeling it's not worth spending energy here.

This group of Earthlings had thoroughly seen through AQ3399's nature.

Previously, his hard stance was only because the 'Death Transmission Device' allowed him to be resurrected on Eternal Civilization post mortem.

The Earthlings did not dare torture him.

Now...

The situation differs greatly from before.

AQ3399's fear of death is thoroughly exposed.

Even before the true force of Enchantment exerted, he already crumbled to his knees.

For a selfish being, as long as their interests and life safety are guaranteed, they can betray anyone without hesitation.

AQ3399 was such a being.

He had to admit, both Prophet and Demon Child, even the Martial God who seemed not to enjoy using brains, possessed strong observation and Sixth Sense, penetrating surface, and understanding his inherent nature thoroughly, leaving him no room to breathe.

Dignity, welfare, promises...

These things weren't needed.

Because they wouldn't be mentioned, AQ3399 didn't dare ask.

Initially, AQ3399 felt the Pursuer was unworthy of the title he held, just the usual lunatic without much ability, easily fooled into a trap.

Now, he truly conceded.

Anyone can be a hindsight Zhuge Liang.

Reflecting on Ma Ran's advice and the Pursuer's bizarre response, AQ3399 suddenly realized that perhaps, in the beginning, the Pursuer really intended to kill all of this "ally's" family without leaving anyone!

Actually, the Pursuer already did, but halfway through, he was stopped by the Extremely Effective Monarch.

An irreverent thought emerged in AQ3399's mind—if his parents were directly killed by the Pursuer, perhaps, maybe, probably... AQ3399's current predicament would be slightly better, avoiding no-win situations?

"Have a good rest."

Ma Ran looked at AQ3399 meaningfully: "The Pursuer, or rather the Extremely Effective Monarch, won't contact you the next few days."

"See you in five days."

No matter what civilization or race it is, the thought patterns of madmen are in some ways similar.

Among the intelligent life forms Ma Ran knew, the Pursuer wasn't the most special.

Even so, such a certain conclusion wasn't entirely the result of mental endeavors.

After all, the vast cosmos is filled with variables.

What if some madman from a super civilization short-circuits some nerve and forces the Pursuer and Extremely Effective Monarch to contact AQ3399 immediately?

Using such a certain tone naturally attributed to the Fragment Prophet's contribution.
