Deceitful Game

Chapter 158 Electric Chair and Werewolves

"Words speak louder than words...!"

Mingpo suddenly opened her eyes, a nauseating, burning sensation rising in her throat.

The world before his eyes spun around him, and his vision went completely white for a moment before slowly returning to normal.

The pain caused Mingpo to suddenly kneel down, trying to vomit, but nothing came out.

He felt intense burning pain in all his muscles, blood vessels, and bones, and his heart was in particular, experiencing a crushing, excruciating pain!

His chest felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on it, and the intense feeling of suffocation made him break out in a cold sweat. The veins all over his body bulged and throbbed violently.

Mingpo immediately realized that the way he was killed was not poison…

Instead, it's the electric chair.

Although he was completely unaware when he "died"... he has now returned to reality with a portion of his pain.

Even Mingpo would find it difficult to endure this level of pain.

He had already exhausted all his willpower by not letting out a scream.

A dim yellow glow suddenly ignited in the depths of Mingpo's eyes.

He instantly activated the active effect of [Silver Crown of the Madman]!

As the cold, slippery "oil" seeped into Mingpo's brain and spread throughout his body along his spine, the intense cramping was instantly suppressed to an acceptable level.

Mingpo stumbled to his feet and rushed toward the wine cabinet, which was only three steps away from him.

He reached out his still trembling hand and snatched the bottle of "Werewolf" whiskey!

The bottle was decorated with a distorted pattern of black, blue-green, and bright yellow, reminiscent of Van Gogh's "Starry Night." To Mingbo at that moment, it seemed to be constantly spinning and twisting.

Today, Mingpu no longer possesses that elegant leisure, let alone the leisurely act of pouring wine into a glass and sipping it slowly.

He simply raised his head and bit the bottle into his mouth.

Mingpo's neck turned bright red, as if she had an allergic reaction or had drunk too much alcohol.

The veins on his neck bulged out, and as his Adam's apple slid up and down, he gulped down the liquor, a strong and frenzied killing intent gradually rising in his heart.

"Hooray..."

Mingbo downed more than half of the entire bottle of whiskey in one gulp before suddenly opening his mouth.

The moment the bottle left his mouth, the liquor spilled out, flowing down his neck and into his clothes.

The scents of sandalwood and smoky bacon mingled together, coiling like snakes around the amber collarbone.

Mingpo, however, was completely oblivious to her disheveled state.

He simply slumped onto a nearby sofa, exhaled deeply, and gradually calmed down. Even the prominent veins on his forehead and neck gradually subsided.

The aroma of whiskey surrounds Mingpa, and the title of "Werewolf" is rapidly repairing Mingpa's damaged body.

Although the "Werewolf" title disrupts rationality, and after switching titles, the active effects of "Madman" cease, while the side effect of mental confusion begins to take effect...

However, Mingpo's thinking ability was not interfered with too severely.

"The effects of death... are they really that severe?"

Mingpo murmured softly.

He had previously considered that if he were to personally experience what it felt like to be "killed" in the past, it would likely have some kind of impact.

However, no one, not even the host, has specifically emphasized this. So it shouldn't be considered a taboo... at least not like "changing one's cause of death."

But I never expected that the impact of personally experiencing death would be so intense!

There is no risk of death.

However, if such an attempt is made in battle or in public, it will come at a terrible cost.

The instant her consciousness returned from the past, Mingpo felt as if she had instantly suffered a special type of damage that dealt continuous damage roughly equal to her maximum health bar. This damage seemed to affect her "will" or "spirit," and this resistance would be enhanced by the madman's "all-attribute amplification," thus also falling under the category of "attributes."

Even without activating "Madman" to enhance it, this damage would probably be weakened by Mingpo's will or spirit, resulting in Mingpo being at most on the verge of death, but not actually dying... but she would be in great pain.

It's like saying "Don't lick the Nintendo Switch cartridges".

Some things don't need any special reminders.

Because once it happens, the lesson is learned immediately.

Mingpo felt her body, which seemed to have been ravaged by some kind of toxin, and sighed deeply.

"Werewolf" is still repairing his body, but Mingpo doesn't want to go to Gao Fan and the others with the title of Werewolf... After he goes out again, he will most likely stay with Gao Fan to participate in the promotion ceremony.

However, Mingpo didn't want to stay at home until his body recovered.

In that case, Ai Shiping and the others might get anxious... Moreover, the ambiguous countdown on the wall made Mingpo hesitant to actually fall asleep. "I can only waste a little bit of my resources..."

No, perhaps it's not a waste.

To be precise, this should be considered an experiment or a test.

Mingbo took out eight pieces of Time Red Copper and attempted to give clear commands:

"Give my body eight hours of sleep, but don't let it generate any related memories or cognitions."

With that, Mingpo crushed the chip.

The bright red flames swept in all directions.

The next instant, Mingpo opened her eyes.

He felt so relaxed.

It felt like I had actually slept for eight hours, and the sleep quality was extremely high. The night was over in the blink of an eye. I truly had no awareness of what was happening in between.

Mingpo's body also returned to its peak condition in that instant.

Eight hours is enough time for the werewolf to fully recover.

Strictly speaking, this level of injury should only require two hours at most.

In other words, no matter what extent Mingpo is injured... as long as he can still reach the Dionysian Shrine, he can instantly heal himself by "switching to [Werewolf]" and "spending time chips to fast-forward his own time".

Mingpo never expected that the most useful function of the werewolf title would be healing...

The remaining six hours were spent by Mingpo testing whether he could reset the negative consequences of "Madman" in this way. The answer was yes.

Once the "Madman" active effect is activated, there is a cost: "Increased Mental Abnormality." Furthermore, each activation worsens the mental abnormality. Only after completing a full sleep cycle can all mental abnormality effects be dispelled.

By consuming eight pieces of Time Red Copper, Mingbo can also skip this sleep period.

After all, sleep itself has no meaning for charlatans. Sleeping is just entertainment and a pastime for them to pass the time... In that case, the only use of sleep for Mingpo is to "reset the Madman's level".

In fact, even if it takes eight hours, he can reset the floor number "outside of home"!

The use of time as a bargaining chip is far more flexible than Mingbo had previously imagined.

Although this time travel cost a dozen or so Copper of Time... it was undoubtedly worth it.

He not only gained enlightenment and realized that there are many possibilities for using the power of time; he also learned many secrets of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the reason for his death, and that his father was actually a high-ranking member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce...

Most importantly, he learned how to "pull a designated target into the deceptive game"!

As long as the "executor" is unaware that they are killing someone, they will not be entangled in karma.

This judgment of "cause and effect" is subjective, not objective!

This cannot be called a "technology" at all, but a "skill", a typical "knowledge lock"!

Those who don't know will never think of this, but once they do, they can completely grasp it.

It's incredibly easy to replicate; any con artist who understands the criteria can do it instantly! It's not that Mingbo has anyone he wants to drag into the game of deception... but rather, this "skill" also implies something else.

Any deceitful organization that has existed for a relatively long time and has a certain influence in the material world will not face the problem of "insufficient talent".

Whether it's "Divine Comedy" or "Chinese Business Association"... it's absolutely impossible to weaken their influence simply by "killing their members."

Because their rate of replenishment will never be slower than their rate of being killed!

And the deceitful organizations that knew about this were definitely not limited to "Divine Comedy" and "Chinese Chamber of Commerce".

This leads to another fact that weighed heavily on Mingper's mind...

That is

The game of deception can never end by "killing all the deceivers" under any circumstances.

Because the number of charlatans is not increasing by "accident" at all!
