Spare Me, Great Lord!-Chapter 1279: Walk Alone, Tear Tricker
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi were most disgusted by the thoughts of the mastermind. The mastermind had deliberately changed the appearance of the spirits to that of Older Brother. This was like a mischievous prank.
Now, Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi did not know what the mastermind had come here for. They would even believe that they were here to disgust them!
The butterfly fanatic was about to pass out. He had never seen so many masters attack at the same time. It felt as if the mountain was about to collapse.
Cao Qingci coldly watched Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi attack from the side. Although the two spirits were also masters, they were weaker than the Puppet Masters when they fought.
But Cao Qingci knew that their greatest advantage was not that they were strong. It was that they could not be killed.
As long as their host was around, they would respawn in a few days.
When the spirits attacked, they did not reveal their techniques. On the other hand, the iron-clad puppets that belonged to Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi attacked wildly, giving their opponents no chance to block their blows.
Every time they clashed, countless red leaves would fall to the ground outside the mountains due to the massive force.
For a period of time, it was as if there was a downpour of red leaves in the mountains. But murderous intent was hidden behind this picturesque scene.
When the Puppet Masters clashed with the spirits, dozens of red leaves suddenly flew upwards, as if they had been blown by a counter current. They were as light as the wind.
The red leaves naturally floated down and fell on the ground. But one red leaf continued to float, as if a slight breeze was carrying it.
But in the next moment, when it appeared beside the butterfly fanatic, it disappeared. More accurately, it did not disappear. It flew at a very high speed!
The clash of swords sounded as if the entire world was split apart. The butterfly fanatic turned pale. He looked in front of him and could only see a flash of white light. Then, the red leaf that had been slashed into half finally lost all its energy and fell to the ground.
Cao Qingci sheathed her sword. She did not believe that anyone would be able to quietly kill the butterfly fanatic while she was still around.
If she was overwhelmed by their strength, then so be it. But if they resorted to trickery, they would only bring shame to themselves.
Furthermore, this red leaf had exposed the enemy’s intentions. They did not want Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi to use the rebirth butterfly and find Older Brother!
At this moment, their plan had failed. Furthermore, knowing that the spirits could not directly fight Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi, they disappeared.
Cloud Yi looked at Cao Qingci. She wanted to speak, but stopped. Cao Qingci suddenly said, “Ming Yueye is not dead. If it was 18 years ago, he would have been dead. The spirits disappeared quickly. They are not afraid of the rebirth butterflies. They hurried all the way here as they were afraid that the rebirth butterflies would find Ming Yueye’s position, or discover some other truths.”
Cloud Yi furrowed her eyebrows. “Can’t you call him Older Brother, Tear Tricker?”
Cloud Yi directly called her Tear Tricker, as the signs that Cao Qingci had displayed were far too obvious. Which person from Earth would suddenly come here, except for Tear Tricker?
Even Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi had just thought about the rebirth butterfly. The mastermind must have followed them here. But Cao Qingci had already been hiding here.
Cao Qingci did not come here to kill. She just wanted to differentiate her enemies and allies.
But Cloud Yi did not expect that Cao Qingci was suspicious of even Ming Yueye.
Cao Qingci said, “Have you thought about this? Perhaps he participated in this with Dream Chooser. When I came back, the first thing I did was confirm whether he was dead. If he is alive, where is he now?”
Cloud Yi observed Cao Qingci’s gaze. “Do you still not believe Older Brother?”
Cao Qingci was silent. 18 years ago, in her previous life, she had carried the young Lu Shu and ran wildly on the empty street. There was no way out.
Lu Shu had been crying. It was heartbreaking.
She carried him and hid in a dark corner. She could only hope to give the baby some warmth. She even sang for him.
At that moment, Tear Tricker had fallen into despair. She was surrounded on all sides and all of them wanted to kill her.
She knew that she had no hope of survival. She could only pass on her hopes and dreams to Lu Shu! He was everything she wanted to protect!
Cao Qingci did not want to experience this despair again. Definitely not!
She calmly looked at Cloud Yi. “Now, I don’t trust anyone other than Lu Shu. I don’t trust you. I don’t trust Tiger Zhi. I don’t trust Ming Yueye either.”
“Older Brother is not that kind of person!” Cloud Yi explained. She did not want Cao Qingci to have so much animosity towards this world.
Cao Qingci shook her head. “We will talk about this once everything is revealed.”
Cao Qingci remained quiet. All of her classmates had the same impression of her. But she had awakened her memories early. When she was young, she often dreamed. She dreamed of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, the ice-cold weapon, and the boiling blood.
As she grew up, her dreams became more and more detailed. She became more quiet as well.
Later on, Cao Qingci discovered that when she went on missions, killing people and blood allowed her to remember more details. Thus, she continuously asked Nie Ting for missions, until the day she discovered her identity as Tear Tricker.
There was no conflict. Cao Qingci was Tear Tricker, and Tear Tricker was Cao Qingci. Thus, she actively applied for the species research specialization. Thus, she silently stood in front of Tear Tricker’s grave. Thus, she did not oppose any of Lu Shu’s decisions, even though she was a true genius with Class A aptitude in the eyes of others.
To Cao Qingci, how could a Class A aptitude genius be on par with the King of Gods? This comparison was laughable.
No one knew that when the species research specialization ate at Lu Shu’s house, and Cao Qingci ate the food that Lu Shu cooked, she almost cried out loud. She had luckily managed to control herself.
After surviving a disaster, she floated along the ocean. Finally, she saw land.
This was probably the meaning of returning home.
But at that moment, a thick white smoke appeared in the distant mountains. When the butterfly fanatic saw this, he cried in despair. “My rebirth butterflies!”
Then, he rushed towards the forest. Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi realized that the rebirth butterflies were hidden there.
The mastermind had dragged them here to buy more time so that they could find the rebirth butterflies. Cloud Yi sighed. The rebirth butterflies were gone. They had to find another way to find Older Brother.
Cao Qingci sheathed her sword and was about to step into a void. Cloud Yi shouted, “Come with us!”
Cao Qingci shook her head. “I know that on Earth, you had the opportunity to kill him, but you didn’t. This is the basis of trust that allows us to talk now. But this does not mean that I completely trust you. Compared to fighting together, I prefer walking alone.”
Cloud Yi did not know what to say. In the past, Tear Tricker was the most pure and happiest among the Puppet Master. Thus, 18 years ago, when she guessed that there was a traitor among them, she agreed to allow Tear Tricker to take the box.
But the current Tear Tricker… no. The current Cao Qingci had completely changed.
This mystery could only be solved once everything was settled.
