Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight looking forward to talking with you(2/2)
Su Mingan said nothing.
He did use the Powerful Person's active skill on Larya, which improved the opponent's favorability.
But in fact, this skill will not forcefully change the person's own will, nor will it distort the other person's beliefs. It will only make the other person subconsciously like him, just like meeting someone he thinks is kind.
The effect was so good that Larya decided to switch allegiances, mainly because Larya itself was not very loyal to the empire.
Su Ming'an just casually chatted with Lalya about his life ideals in the early morning, and the other party decided to abandon the empire that had become boring and rigid and wanted to go with him.
As long as the ideal degree of temptation in Su Mingan's words is higher than Larya's interest in the empire, Larya will naturally switch sides.
As Larya said before, he advocates "freedom, reasonableness and romance" and is a casual person.
Coupled with the favorability bonus and the S+charm bonus, he has been completely seduced by the pie drawn by Su Mingan.
"...Hey, I originally wanted to save this guy Varun's life." Larya said with some regret: "Unfortunately, Viscount, your special ability to solidify the energy of the Art Stone cannot be leaked, Varun.
This guy... insists on using the Art Stone to test you, it's a pity. This guy is good at everything, but he is too stubborn, too stubborn, and likes to target one person too much... I have obviously advised him before..."
As he spoke, he suddenly watched Su Mingan climb up the ladder to the boulder again.
"...Viscount? Viscount?"
Su Mingan turned back: "I'm testing something here, you go ahead and proceed as planned."
Larya had no choice but to respond, took off the lock on the door, straightened out her slightly wrinkled clothes, and walked out.
"By the way, Viscount." He turned around and said, "When you get to the sea city, you must tell me your ideals. Your past... I am very interested in it."
"Let's talk." Su Mingan only stared at the Art Stone in his hand.
"Looking forward to the next conversation with you." Larya smiled.
Wearing a top hat and leaning on a cane, he walked out of the sea of blood with straight steps, as if nothing had happened.
Su Mingan sat on the boulder, testing whether he could control the energy of the Art Stone without solidifying.
He tried, and suddenly he heard Larya's amplified voice coming from outside.
"——Gentlemen and ladies, I am very sorry to inform you of the unfortunate news... I, Larya, and my dear comrade Valen misjudged the strength of the soul clan. In the test just now,
We accidentally discovered that abominable Soul Clan, and during the battle, Valen unfortunately died... Now, the Ater is unable to expel that terrifying Soul Clan, and can only choose to abandon the ship and escape. Please don't panic, follow the instructions of the Empire
Execute evacuation plan A and board the lifeboat in an orderly manner. Our crew will cooperate with everyone to escape in an orderly manner..."
The amplified sound was extremely penetrating, spreading up and down the Yate ship.
The people who were originally relatively peaceful suddenly fell into panic. People poured out of their rooms like a tide and gathered together. They gathered and rushed onto the deck in a hurry, as if they would be killed if they were one step too slow.
"Valen... the S-class soul hunter was actually killed..." The civilians in civilian clothes looked desperate.
"It's over, it's over, the Ater is over. The future glory of the empire... will now be completely engraved on the rack of shame..." The priest holding the cross prayed tremblingly.
"It's still shameful... It's good that we can survive. The voyage is not far from the sea city. If we board the lifeboat and contact the empire, we should still have a chance to return alive..." This is a person who is confident that he can board the sea.
Lifeboat nobility.
The dense rainstorm was still falling on the deck at this time, and thick dark clouds pressed down on the turbulent sea.
People in different attires rushed onto the deck in the rain at this moment, and their bodies were instantly soaked by the heavy rain. Some aristocratic women didn't even have time to hold an umbrella, and their hair was draped around their bodies like seaweed, looking very embarrassed.
Saya was also among this group of people. The moment she heard the news of Valen's death, her expression immediately froze, as if she had lost all her strength in an instant.
"Grandpa Warren..." She whispered, tightening the hem of her skirt.
After a moment of silence, her eyes changed slightly.
She suddenly turned around and rushed towards the cabin against the flow of people.
At this time, on the chaotic deck, a group of special crew members rushed over and began to maintain order.
The lifeboats were lowered one after another, perhaps taking into account the possibility of an accident on the Yate. The preparations in this regard were quite complete. Each lifeboat was not small in size. If there was sufficient time, it could be enough to hold two-thirds of the Yate.
people.
"Please keep order. Guests in the first-class cabin will get on first, followed by the second-class cabin. Children and women will be given priority. Please don't crowd - our Lord Larya is still watching all this -"
On the deck, people began to evacuate.
Some people who were still hesitating, thinking about whether to stay on the Ater for a while and unwilling to give up the glory of the empire, suddenly heard a piercing scream.
"ah!"
The cry was cruel and short, like the last cry before death.
Accompanied by a burst of exclamations from the crowd, a horrifying corpse with its soul sucked out was thrown down from a high-rise building, which immediately seemed to detonate a bomb in the crowd. People rushed to get on the boat, fearing that they would be delayed.
A moment later, screams were heard again in the cabin, and a splash of blood splashed out from inside, sprinkling the faces of the people waiting in line.
"The Soul Clan—there are Soul Clan inside who are killing people—I saw it—"
Women's screams rang out, and the crowd immediately became chaotic like a pot of boiling porridge.
In the storage room, Su Mingan, who was experimenting, heard Larya's voice:
"Viscount, there is enough chaos now. There is no need to create the illusion of souls. People have decided to evacuate."
Su Mingan listened, and the movements of his hands paused slightly.
"...I didn't create any false impression." He said.
Suddenly there was no reply.
Su Ming'an immediately became vigilant. He quickly put away the Art Stone and pushed the door open.
A touch of warm, bright red blood splashed onto his face.
Chapter completed!
