Chapter 1988: Su Zhe's Lethal Provocation
At this moment, the great halls of every shelter in Great Xia fell into a deathly silence...
After an unknown amount of time, they finally looked at each other, confusion flickering in their eyes.
What... what just happened??
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments flooded the livestream!
【Um, I'd like to genuinely ask... was that him cursing at someone?】
【No way, judging by the tone, it doesn't sound like it.】
【I don't think so either. Who curses like that? Not a single profanity? When he started talking, I felt like I was sitting in a Western restaurant elegantly eating steak.】
【Wait... he said 'your mom's gone.' How is that not cursing?!】
【By the way, what's a 'smiling black mangy dog walking on two legs' supposed to mean? It can't be referring to a person, right?】
【Definitely not. No human could be described like that... it's probably about a puppy that lost its mother dog?】
【But then he said something else... 'Mr. Chaos'? Is that the dog owner?】
【I'm really at a loss here. What dog owner! Nyarlathotep from the Cthulhu Faction is one of the three pillars of their mythology! Legend says it's a black person, so that 'mangy dog' thing must be an insult!】
【For real? Then isn't that a big boss?】
【But he's a Night Watch! And a special squad member too. Would he really curse at someone?】
【What's wrong with you upstairs... it's not illegal for Night Watch to curse... Besides, he wasn't even cursing at a person!】
【Hold on, I'll debate you all later... I can't help but pick my ear too.】
【Not sure... let me watch a bit more.】
【...】
While the entire internet was ignited by Su Zhe's few short sentences, above the vast ocean, a black figure suddenly froze mid-movement!
【Chaos】 shook Its head in puzzlement, picking up the phone showing the livestream, Its expression somewhat strange...
What was going on?
Did It hear things? How could It hear someone calling out 'smiling black mangy dog walking on two legs'? And something about Its mother being gone... most importantly, It seemed to hear Its own name... Hallucination, had to be a hallucination.
【Chaos】's gaze fell on the screen, where figures cloaked in purple were standing on the ocean's surface. Among them, a blood-soaked figure was precisely Lu Baoyou, whom It had just let go!
Its peripheral vision caught the barrage of comments filling the screen, and It suddenly froze in place.
Just then, Su Zhe on the screen calmly spoke again:
"Yes, no need to doubt. I'm talking about you, Lord Nyarlathotep from the ancient grape estate... Honestly, your full name is quite a tongue twister. If possible, nicknames like 'that black slave' or 'that funny mangy dog that looks human' would suit you better."
Listening to Su Zhe's composed narration, 【Chaos】's eyes slowly widened, an unprecedented expression of disbelief flickering in Its gaze...
This human... was mocking It?
Mocking It, in front of billions of insignificant creatures, while livestreaming??
In that instant, 【Chaos】 even forgot to be angry. It stared at that calm face on the screen, and the scrolling comments, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sense of absurdity...
This was the first time 【Chaos】 had felt this way since descending upon this world. Even four years ago when Lin Qiye made that desperate comeback in the asylum, It hadn't been this shocked!
"If my choice of words offended you, let me preemptively offer a few apologies... I'm the type of person who, well, isn't very good with words."
Su Zhe counted on his fingers, seriously reciting:
"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry..."
"...?" 【Chaos】 froze again.
The viewers in front of their screens also froze.
What was this Night Watch livestreaming doing?
"Well then, Mr. Mangy Dog." Su Zhe took a deep breath. "You, this laughable, ugly, ill-mannered, motherless pitiful creature... I hereby extend my most sincere condolences and deepest sympathies regarding your mother's dissolution...
Actually, your mother also accompanied me for several days. As her owner, every morning I would engage in friendly, intimate communication with her using my fingers... But unfortunately, today my intensity was perhaps a bit too much."
Su Zhe rubbed the remaining yellow substance between his fingertips, which quickly scattered into the sea with the breeze. His expression was full of regret,
"If possible, Mr. Mangy Dog, I hope you can come give your mother a proper send-off... Given that you've just lost your mother, as her former owner, I can grudgingly offer you a valuable opportunity... An opportunity to inherit your mother's career.
Since I'm often not home, I need you to guard my doorstep every day. When you see someone walk past the door, just bark twice. Don't worry about anyone taking you away, because I'll tie you up with a sturdy rope. If you're bored, you can also do some work in my backyard's cotton field... You should be quite skilled at this sort of thing.
Of course, I'll also give you some rewards from time to time..."
Under everyone's gaze, Su Zhe raised his palm again, pointing at his own buttocks,
He smiled happily:
"How about this, Mr. Mangy Dog? I'll reward you with a fresh pile of mother every day?"
Everyone in front of their screens was completely stunned.
【Now I'm certain... he was cussing someone out.】
【Learned something new today. First time seeing someone curse like this, and not a single profanity. Really something.】
【The elements in those sentences are just too many... Can't process it all. Can someone explain?】
【Keywords: no mom, earwax, guard dog, and black... well, won't say the last one. Those who know, know.】
【So thoughtful. Not a single profanity while cursing someone out. Even if kids are watching, they won't understand. Really... I'm crying.】
【How dare he curse at 【Chaos】 like that? That's the enemy's big boss, right? This is so brave!】
【Night Watch's bravest warrior?】
【Will he be okay after cursing like that?】
【Hahaha, honestly, putting myself in that position... if I were that 【Chaos】 thing, my lungs would be exploding with rage!】
【...】
As the massive wave of inflammatory comments scrolled across the screen, 【Chaos】's chest began heaving violently!
It stared死死地盯着着屏幕中 the screen, at Su Zhe pointing at his own buttocks with a bright smile, and an unprecedented sense of humiliation and fury surged in Its heart!!
As luck would have it, the clever It understood every element of Su Zhe's words. At this moment, It was like a powder keg about to explode. A wisp of rage that escaped directly carved a vortex dozens of kilometers wide in the sea below!
A mere insignificant creature... how dare he??
"In any case, this livestream will remain on. I, along with all the citizens of Great Xia, will be right here waiting for your arrival," Su Zhe narrowed his eyes, speaking in a haunting tone,
"You wouldn't... be too scared to come, would you, Mr. Mangy Dog?"
