Luck is a Charm

Chapter 58: Mind Break

While Zhen continues to smile at this person who doesn't know his fate is doom, to begin with. 

The person kept on babbling nonsense on how he was going to torture Zhen and make him wished he wasn't alive.

'Sigh, being ignorant sure is a blissful matter.'

"Cecilia, it's your turn now, and do it slowly because he's too fun to play with. Maybe you can make him my punching bag to practice my fist."

Zhen said casually to Cecilia who has been hiding all this time. In this space, if she doesn't want to show herself, then even Zhen can never find her.

This is a cheat that Zhen would really want because it'll be easy to get away after ambushing and leaving zero traces. 

'Such a mysterious space should be for someone lucky like me.'

Unfortunately, Cecilia seems to have more luck than Zhen has. While Zhen was complaining about his luck isn't as good as Cecilia, the person started laughing like a maniac at his words.

'Did he really think I'm joking about this type of such?' Zhen wonders in his mind before he confirms it.

"Do you take me for a three years old kid? Before I was just careless to not know you also specialize in speed. Now that I'm prepared, I can easily handle you." The person shouted loudly which made Zhen's ear itch a bit.

Zhen twisted his neck for a bit and took a deep breath. 'Talking to him further will lower my IQ and brain cells so much.'

"Cecilia, just hurry it up otherwise, I'll lose motivation in cooking you some new gourmet dishes which is my specialty."

Before Zhen can even continue Cecilia appears out of thin air, shocking that dumb person. However, Cecilia didn't even give him a chance to scream as she flicked her finger and he became immobile.

'Such a strong move... wonder when I will be able to just simply flick my finger to immobilize my enemy. Probably won't be long enough given my talent.'

While Zhen continued to daydream, the person's expression drastically changed to one in horror. His facial expression was completely disoriented and his body kept shaking.

Zhen stops watching and turns his back around to not imagine what kind of things that Cecilia is doing. Zhen has zero sympathies for the person but he doesn't want to get nightmares from Cecilia's action.

If she was to find out that he peeked at what she did, Zhen would be threatened by her where she will say something like this, 'Go against my will and I'll let you experience what I just did to this person.'

"Arghhhh, mercy please"

"Noooooooooo"

The person kept screaming in pain from whatever Cecilia was doing whereas Zhen started counting the stars in this space to pass time.

'1, 2, 3, and... I lost count again. Can't he scream in a low volume?' Zhen was annoyed by the fact that he kept losing count because the person wouldn't stop screaming.

After 10 minutes or so, Cecilia told Zhen to turn around and when he did, he was smiling at the outcome. 

The person was still alive but at the same time, dead looking.

"What did you do to him? I was pretty scared that you straight up kill him and I'll lose my punching bag." Zhen asked when his punching bag was still alive and kicking.

'Well not mentally but physically, he was still alive.'

"Nothing much, just some mind-breaking technique where I gouged his memories completely. He's all your now that I got some crucial information."

"Sweet, you're the best Cecilia. To think you kept him barely alive just so I can practice my moves on him. He is probably thanking heaven for having this honor, hahaha."

Their conversation may be sadist or crazy to some people but don't forget, he's an enemy. Would you let an enemy scout free despite them planting a trap to get Zhen?

If Zhen was the one who has been captured by them, his fate is definitely worse than what they just did. Such is the way of life and cruel way to survive in this world.

Survival of the fittest, where only the best are allowed to live while being weak and powerless means your life and death can be controlled by anyone.

==============

While Zhen is busy celebrating having a new punching bag for him, the other dogs have gathered around and searched for their tracks.

"Nothing here sir."

"Same for me."

"Also, the same for me. Just where did Diego go with that eavesdropping? We were only gone for around 7 minutes before grouping up again."

The dogs were talking and thinking about what could happen to their companion, Diego. They purposely chose him to be the baiter because he's the fastest in this group.

A tall black robe person was standing still all this time, seemingly in deep thinking.

"I'm afraid the enemy has captured Diego already and his life is probably in a thin line." He slowly said after 2 minutes.

"B-But how could this be possible. Diego is at least a 4th stage Origin Core so how could anyone in this tiny world be possibly stronger than him." One of them retorted at his comment since it was practically impossible.

This tiny world has illogical cultivation and the people here are completely ignorant about the true qi cultivation rank.

Therefore, even a Core Formation could beat anyone in this tiny world, and to think Diego, who is in the Origin Core to be captured without leaving any traces is hard to believe.

"It may seem hard to believe but don't forget something. We are also a qi cultivator in this tiny world to investigate for that thing so what makes you think that there aren't others from the higher world to send people here." The tall person who is known as Pierre and the leader of this group said in response.

Hearing Pierre's statement, the group starts to realize that this should be the only possibility. Who made the rules that they are the only ones capable of descending to the lower world from above?

"This is very bad then. Diego, we must come up with a plan in case the others also found out our plan. If they sent this information to above, all those empyreans will exterminate us."

"You think I don't know how serious the situation has become. There's no other choice besides hurrying up our plan and informing the higher up of our discovery. We will all face death if we fail." Pierre said with a heavy tone.

'To think our plan in baiting a sneaky spy who was capable of eavesdropping for so long to have this kind of background.'

"Now that Diego is in their hand, if they manage to ascend back to inform their superior, it could spell disaster with the news spreading to everyone."

Everyone nodded at Pierre's suggestion as they all scattered around to hurry up with their plan. They need to start the magical beast riot early and take the item located in the secret tunnel.

If only they weren't restricted by the tiny world's rules and regulations, they would have barged into the town directly.

Not to mention, if they accidentally overuse their cultivation and alert those in the higher world, their effort will go to waste.

Even an ant when combined with many is troublesome to deal with. Plus, they're not powerful enough to waste their qi in fighting those ants.

Pierre could only curse in his mind for the terrible luck he has. 'To think my first mission as the leader became such a hard task. Why is it that I'm the unlucky one to encounter this kind of crisis.'
