Chapter 286 Breaking the Knife
If there is anyone in the fifth branch who knows Li Congrong best.
Perhaps Shi Dalu surpassed Li Guanqi to some extent.
He once started from scratch with this store manager, went through hardships along the way, witnessed countless life and death, suffering and pain, and struggled in the hell of human nature until today.
Shi Dalu knew Li Congrong very well from the inside out, especially the strength of his crime.
The prosthetic eye allows him to see some clues of the next mission in advance, giving him a head start.
The black soft armor can help him isolate most supernatural attacks and obtain countermeasures.
Li Congrong only had these two criminal objects, and in Shi Dalu's judgment, everything about him was offensive sinful objects.
If he really fights hard, it may be difficult for him to kill Li Congrong, but it is not easy for Li Congrong to defeat him.
This was the main reason why he dared to attack Li Congrong instead of Ji Li.
As long as he wants to live, the former has some chance of winning, while the latter has no other solution other than death.
There was a brief and subtle silence at the scene. Li Congrong and Shi Dalu looked at each other from afar, neither of them moved first.
Stalu's hair was extremely thin, and he poured most of his life force into his black-haired head, just waiting for an opportunity.
He wanted to see if Li Congrong had any backup plans, and to observe whether there would be any signs of retreat and negotiation on this man's face.
But Li Congrong's face disappointed him. In this resolute face, he just witnessed the incomparable calm.
It was as if Shi Dalu did not exist in Li Congrong's eyes.
As time passed by, a gap appeared between the team of dead souls and the store clerks.
Sweat gradually broke out on Stalu's face, his hands were shaking, and he knew he couldn't wait any longer.
If the stalemate continues like this, he can't afford it.
So, in the blink of an eye of Li Congrong, Shi Dalu suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Li Congrong from the air.
At the same time, he muttered something in his mouth, his voice was low, and he could not hear clearly what he was saying.
But then, the head made of condensed black hair changed direction in the air and headed straight for Li Congrong at an extremely fast speed.
Shi Dalu couldn't help it anymore and took the lead.
Everyone followed the spinning head and focused on Li Congrong's figure. They wanted to see how the long-famous store manager would respond to this attack.
However, the next second, the result of this battle surprised everyone.
That seemingly evil wind hunting star, representing a terrifying power that a living person could not match, actually dissipated out of thin air as it approached Li Congrong!
The whole head disappeared out of thin air, leaving no residue at all.
"How is that possible!" Du Xiyue also wanted to think about the next situation through this battle, but she didn't expect it to end so quickly.
Ji Li also frowned when he saw this scene. He couldn't see how Li Congrong took action.
But to be fair, Shi Dalu used most of his life force to condense the attack. If it were him, he would never be able to take it so easily...
No, Li Congrong was not as simple as taking over, but letting the opponent's attack suddenly disappear.
As the holder of the head, Shi Dalu's dissipation is equivalent to most of his life force turning into nothingness.
His already livid face looked even more ferocious at this moment, and even his facial features were distorted.
A large mouthful of black blood spit out from his mouth and nose, and a violent cough came from the throat.
Shi Dalu was half-kneeling on the ground and covering his chest with his hands, but he still raised his head in disbelief and stared at Li Congrong.
Everyone at the scene fell into panic and astonishment. Only Li Congrong's face remained calm.
If someone can observe carefully, they can find that Li Congrong did not do nothing.
The prosthetic eye in his right eye actually rotated the moment his head came closer.
It's just that the speed was too fast and it was obscured by the approaching head, so almost no one saw this detail.
Li Congrong no longer stood where he was. He slowly walked forward, taking every step firmly until he stood completely in front of Shi Dalu.
He leaned down slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Old Shi, you are the best in the fifth branch. Originally, my store manager should be yours, and all my sins should be yours, but your fate is not good.
But don’t forget it!
All the sins on your body were given to you by me. We were once brothers, why did we end up like this? "
This condescending attitude made Shi Dalu extremely uncomfortable. He looked at Li Congrong's face with hatred in his eyes and gritted his teeth and said:
"I just hate why I didn't kill you first, so I was slow and slow, and you actually spoke to me like this with a arrogant and preaching tone!"
Li Congrong nodded silently, and then his prosthetic eyes moved again, and his hand pressed on Shi Dalu's head.
"You deserve to collude with the First Branch, secretly arrange chess pieces, and try to subvert the Fifth Branch."
The power brought by that hand was enough to erase all of Stalu's mind. It was not until this last moment that he finally understood.
Why does Li Congrong have the power to kill him easily?
Why can Li Congrong ignore his crime attack?
Why did Shi Dalu suffer such a defeat?
Because of Li Congrong, he actually has the power of the will of the fifth branch in his right eye!
That is the power of Tianhai.
As the manager of the fifth branch, he has the strongest power. It is so powerful that it can dominate the gains and losses of sins and the life and death of store employees...
Thinking back to the store manager competition between Li Congrong and Shi Dalu half a year ago.
If Shi Dalu regretted it, if he could not be soft-hearted at the last moment of completing the task, he could decisively stab him in the back.
Maybe today's fifth branch, he is the manager, and Li Congrong is just an ant that he casually crushed to death.
But all this can never be repeated.
Shi Dalu disappeared, or to be more precise, his soul disappeared, leaving only a dead body.
He returned to his original fate, and after death he became a corpse full of sins, and a treasure for other living people.
At the moment when Li Congrong killed Shi Dalu, a large amount of white hair appeared.
The artificial eye sin object does have a dual effect, one is the ordinary sin object effect, spying on the next mission, and the other is the privilege of becoming a store manager.
He has the power to use the power of Tianhai Branch three times, this power can make him look down on the crowd and dominate everything.
Now, he has one last time left.
So, after killing Shi Dalu, Li Congrong slowly straightened up, also ignored the faceless ghost in front of him, and looked at Ji Li from a distance.
This scene is very similar to Shi Dalu more than ten minutes ago.
If Ji Li could not guess Li Congrong's plan, he could still live to the reincarnation of the tenth hall, but now Li Congrong is sure that he will not let Ji Li live that long.
This knife has begun to hurt himself, and now all he has to do is break it.
