Chapter 8, The Mouth of the Abyss
It seems a bit interesting. Bai Ye kept trying until his mouth became somewhat sore before he finally stopped
He stood up again, walked to the bedside, picked up the mineral water bottle containing the water from the Pool of Bethesda, and stuffed it into his mouth
After exceeding the time limit, Bai Ye consumed a total of 3 points of authority value, stayed in Gotham City for an extended period, and additionally gained authority value from a forced transaction with Lars.
At this moment, he has certainly returned to his room in the sanatorium, and the excited smile on his face has yet to fade away
Open a portable independent space that can store substances outside of living organisms, measuring 5X5X5, 125 cubic meters, where everything within the space remains in a state of absolute stillness, preserving the condition of all substances as they entered
After the transaction was completed, Lars wanted to kill Bai Ye, which did not violate the rules of the Staff of Authority.
After this, the consumption of authority and wealth value will not have any impact even if it falls below 1,000 points
Lars drove the blade in his hand into the ground, right at the spot where the white night had just vanished, "Go, investigate his identity and background thoroughly for me!"
Please select a fixed location for the entrance and exit of the space said Hei
The transformation of Bai Ye into a Level 2 Proxy did not bring about any special changes; there was no tremor in his body, nor was there a dazzling radiance. It was merely a silent enhancement of his powers, elevating his authority over the use of the Staff of the Rod to a higher level
Whether one opens their mouth or not is actually of no consequence
Among the changes that intrigued Bai Ye the most, naturally, was the addition of a personal independent space.
After a brief attempt, the bottle of mineral water was once again brought out by Bai Ye, abruptly appearing near his mouth. It seemed to have moved forward a little before falling down, which Bai Ye managed to catch.
The number of ordinary transactions has increased to 5 times within a 24-hour period, while the number of forced transactions remains unchanged. The duration of stay for teleportation to other worlds is 48 hours, with the option to leave early at the 12th and 24th hours. Based on the return time, teleportation can be activated again after 48 hours.
During the period of consuming authority and wealth values to remain in other worlds, Bai Ye can return to his main world at any time
Give it a try
Fear, afraid
Talia did not speak, nor did she prevent what might happen next; however, she also did not take action, remaining in a state of bystander.
Currently, Bai Ye possesses a wealth value of one thousand and fifty-two points as stated by Hei
Even if the white night wishes to delay, it cannot prolong for too long
"Black, how much power and wealth do I have now?" He hung the umbrella on the wall hook and placed the water from the Pool of Bethesda on the bedside table, then sat down on the sofa and said.
At the same time, Bai Ye finally sensed some changes; he felt that a black space seemed to be connected to him. He could place non-living objects, not exceeding the size of the space itself, into it at will.
He even wanted to use the two bottles of the Pool of Lazarus's spring water on Bai Ye, to ensure that Bai Ye would feel the greatest pain before his complete death
After a normal transaction concludes, it is naturally difficult for both parties to turn against each other with hostility
In the surrounding darkness, one by one, the assassins emerged, their blades already aimed at Bai Ye. In just a second, they could rush forward and pin this kid to the ground.
Soon, the Dark Lord Lars returned with two bottles filled with water from the Lazarus Spring, handing them to Bai Ye.
However, the forced transaction, where Bai Ye held Lars's head to complete the deal, naturally led to Lars's brutal revenge after the transaction was concluded
Lars is neither having second thoughts nor wanting to reclaim the waters of the Pool of Lazarus; he simply wishes to kill Bai Ye after the transaction is concluded
Conducted a transaction with Uncle Bai Jincheng and obtained 5 points of power and wealth value
There is also a small dent on the wall above.
"One thousand and fifty-two." Hei quickly responded, "The previous transaction earned nine hundred points of authority value."
He stored two bottles of the spring water from the Pool of Bethesda into his portable space, and Bai Ye did not stop to take a break. During the repeated experiments and attempts he had just conducted, he discovered a very interesting phenomenon
Bai Ye smiled happily, and the spatial pocket retained the state of objects at the moment of entry, which means that the 'kinetic energy' of that instant was also preserved
Subsequently, two transactions were conducted with the penguin person, resulting in a total acquisition of 200 points of authority value
Fortunately, there were no other people in the room; otherwise, it is likely that Bai Ye would have to undergo a period of medication and various forms of psychological treatment
He gently exhaled, looking at Lars and smiling as he uttered a single word: "Yes"
The drawbacks of forced transactions have also become apparent at this time; the staff of power and wealth safeguards the transaction itself, but not the parties involved in the transaction
BOSS does not care about the white night, so how could he care about the gaze of a group of insignificant fish saying 'kill you'
What about the white nights
This has resulted in the current situation
The portable space is not merely a simple storage area; Bai Ye has endowed it with an additional function
The voice of the black machinery narrates the changes made by the secondary agent one by one
Reading more books indeed has its benefits
Facing the authenticity of this spring water, Bai Ye was not the least bit concerned. He took it, shook it a couple of times, and with considerable satisfaction, placed it into the red plastic bag he had just pulled out of his pocket
This is an unprecedented experience
Lars stared at Bai Ye; as soon as Bai Ye confirmed the completion of the transaction, the blade in his hand flashed with a terrifying cold light
Lars gazed at the white night, his entire being exuding an overwhelming aura of killing intent that could not be suppressed.
Talia behind widened her eyes; this is definitely not an illusion created by hiding in the darkness
It is as such
I am now a Level 2 Agent?" Bai Ye continued to ask, "Are there any new permissions or abilities, or something like that?"
Where are the others
At the moment the bottle approached the mouth, it slightly twisted and then vanished without a trace
"Left—no, mouth." Bai Ye first glanced at his left hand, then a peculiar smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he spoke
Because of this determined strike, he swung into emptiness; the position where Bai Ye had just been is now completely vacant
Just kidding, just now Bruce's senile father-in-law was staring at him with those terrifying emerald green eyes, and even the white night was not afraid
Oh, does that mean one Lars is equal to nine penguins?" Bai Ye chuckled.
The mouth of the white night is no longer an ordinary mouth, but rather the mouth of a perilous abyss
Lars's blade did not even graze the hem of his clothing.
"It is fixed." He said after a few seconds
The situation just now was truly one of being trapped with no way out, leaving no room for concealment whatsoever
As the murderous intent became palpable, Lars's eyes truly glimmered with a faint green light, and Bai Ye sensed a shadow known as "death" drawing near.
On Bai Ye's face, there was not a trace of fear; instead, a strange and radiant smile appeared, as if he were savoring the feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife and walking a tightrope above a cliff, with his life hanging by a thread
This phenomenon reminded him of a part of a novel he had inadvertently glanced at while "intensively supplementing" various related "knowledge".
Speaking of which, there are indeed relatively normal characters in the Assassin's League, not all of whom are consumed with thoughts of destroying humanity. For instance, Lars's two daughters show little interest in matters such as the destruction of all humanity
Of course, this is merely an action of the subconscious during the white night
If I am not mistaken, then it truly is the mouth of the abyss, and the verbal artillery is invincible
Before meeting Lars, Bai Ye had a total of 155 points of authority and wealth.
The first transaction of Bai Ye was with a taxi driver in Gotham City, resulting in an acquisition of 0.00005 power value, which has already been requested by Bai Ye to be disregarded. If there are any minor transactions in the future, they will be automatically accumulated until the power value reaches 1 point, at which time the calculation will be conducted.
Bai Ye wore a malicious smile on his face, took down the black umbrella hanging on the wall, and then thrust the tip of the umbrella towards his mouth, as if he intended to "swallow the umbrella to end his life"
In the next moment, the ferocious expression on Lars's face grew even more intense
This is also the confidence that Bai Ye has to engage in forced transactions with Lars
To become a secondary agent, it is not necessary to consume 1,000 points of authority value; rather, one can become a secondary agent as long as the authority value possessed by the individual exceeds 1,000 points.
After hitting the wall, the heavy umbrella fell to the ground, making a series of sounds
Five opportunities to teleport to the world where Gotham City is located have been consumed, resulting in a depletion of fifty points of authority value
Bai Ye sensed that there was an additional bottle of mineral water in that black space
When released again, this force will not disappear
The umbrella given by the penguin was naturally stored in the personal space of the White Night.
Everything has already come into his hands; even if Bai Ye does not "confirm," after a period of time, the transaction will likewise be automatically confirmed as completed
Talia's gaze flickered with an inscrutable meaning, leaving one to wonder what thoughts occupied her mind
It has already reached the requirements of a Level 2 Proxy.
Even if he keeps his mouth tightly closed, he can still draw things into the space, as long as he gets close enough.
So, is our transaction complete? Little, bug, child
The dignified penguin suddenly transformed into a "single-digit value"
As long as Bai Ye confirms the completion of this transaction, Lars will allow this little insect before him to experience what is known as excruciating pain.
Then, Bai Ye slightly opened his mouth and retrieved the umbrella once again
Dancing on the edge of a knife, the sensation of life and death is indeed very thrilling; however, Bai Ye has no intention of allowing himself to perish in such a manner
The highly ambitious Bai Ye stood quietly in place, completely ignoring the fierce gazes of the group of assassins in the darkness
However, the umbrella did not fall down like the spring water of the Pool of Bethesda, aided by Bai Ye. The tip of the umbrella pointed outward, flying forward at a speed similar to that of Bai Ye's earlier thrust towards his own mouth.
He will not allow Bai Ye to die too easily
He has already left
How should it be used? Bai Ye inquired, having silently transformed into a secondary agent, yet there were no noticeable changes in him, and naturally, he was unaware of how to utilize this personal space
In an instant, the cold light streaked across the position of the white night like lightning, seemingly illuminating the dark room
When Bai Ye received the news from the Assassin Alliance, the allotted time had actually long since passed. The reason he was still able to remain in Gotham City was that he was consuming his authority and wealth value
One hundred twenty-five cubic meters is already a considerable space, sufficient to accommodate many items
At the moment that kid uttered that word, Lars swung his knife and vanished without a trace
