"Continue speaking. I need to know your entire plan so I can cooperate with it."
Susan smiled. She agreed with He Li, not just because he was an Awakened, but more so because he possessed a calm mind and wisdom.
Therefore, Susan was very willing to cooperate with him and adjust her own plans.
"Captain trusts me this much?" He Li asked with a smile.
"Of course. You're my teammate, and I definitely trust you, just as I trust Bai Fei to make good wine, Min Liang's real-time demon detection system, and Sister Jiang's data analysis."
"Hmm? Then what about Sister Xue?"
"I firmly believe Xue is very rich!"
"......"
He Li nodded in agreement. "I believe it too!"
"Alright, enough nonsense. Tell me your plan."
He Li reached up and rubbed his temples, organizing his thoughts slightly. He said, "As I said, if he fired the first shot, he'll definitely fire the second. By the third shot, I'll reveal my horns.
Since my target, I'll stand here and wait.
But, just now,
I figured it out.
He's in the dark, and he can turn many people into demons to constantly attack me.
I just checked, and Binjiang has over 4.3 million people. What does that mean?
It's equivalent to him secretly holding these 4.3 million people hostage. As long as I don't deliver myself, he'll randomly pick a 'lucky winner' to turn into a demon and provoke me.
Then,
it'll be a cycle."
Susan nodded. "There is indeed the possibility you described. If he's hiding in the blind spots of the demon power detection devices, we really won't be able to find him."
He Li said, "That's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that those are people. He has the entire 4.3 million people of Binjiang city standing behind him."
"As long as there are people like Lu Xiangnan who crave eternal life, he can continuously create undead demons."
He Li pointed to the hospital in the distance, then to the prison 60 kilometers north. "The will to survive of the dying, the despair of the soon-to-be-dead. For them, the soul-devouring blood demon's undead puppets are a fatal temptation."
"The undead puppets he creates can reach the level of a Grade Four demon. The nascent zombie demons released by Lu Xiangnan are even more destructive to ordinary people."
"The soul-devouring blood demon is now like a virus, with the potential to erupt at any moment. If it does, it will be a devastating disaster for Binjiang city."
Susan said, "It sounds serious, but you already have a plan, don't you?"
Susan believed that since He Li dared to say it, he must have a corresponding plan. Otherwise, He Li wouldn't have told her. There was only one reason he told her: she was also a part of his plan.
He Li smiled. Of course, he had a plan, but his plan was not just about a single soul-devouring blood demon.
Since the hunting game had begun, and he, the prey, was already standing in the sunlight, wasn't it too unfair for the hunters to still be hiding in the dark and not reveal their hunting rifles?
A single soul-devouring blood demon couldn't satisfy the appetite of this "little lamb" of his.
He wanted all the hunters in this hunting game to die!
"Captain, let's wait a bit. My plans are always changing. As the most important combat power in my plan, I need to plan carefully. After all, opportunities to command you, an old timer, are rare. I must cherish them."
"Tch... you scoundrel." Susan snorted, then jumped off the rooftop. She grabbed a tiny protrusion in a glass seam and swung her body in mid-air, returning to her office.
He Li looked at the beautiful scenery of Binjiang, took a deep breath, twisted his neck, and said, "What are you thinking?"
Xiao Yue appeared beside him, sitting in the opposite direction. After a moment of thought, he said, "I don't have many thoughts. Just as you think, killing them one by one is too troublesome. It's better to finish them all at once."
After speaking, Xiao Yue smiled and asked, "Let me ask you a question."
"Ask away."
"Do you genuinely care about the 4.3 million people in Binjiang city, or are you deliberately saying it to Susan to show her your kindness?"
He Li glanced at Xiao Yue, looking at his teasing smile, and chuckled.
"That's a good question. Don't ask it again next time."
As his voice fell, He Li gently pushed off with his hands and plummeted rapidly from the 34-story building. He lightly tapped the building with his right foot, flying sideways horizontally, landing on a nearby residential building. After slightly dissipating his momentum, he didn't stop, ran a few more steps, leaped again, landed on a street lamp, and finally jumped down, walking on the sidewalk.
"How about braised pig trotters, stir-fried lettuce, and a pot of rice tonight?" He Li asked.
"Whatever you want, I can't eat it anyway," Xiao Yue said, walking beside He Li.
"Don't say that. Even if you can't eat it, you can see it. Taste, aroma, appearance – you can at least get one of them."
"......Then I want to see a Manchu Han Imperial Feast."
"You're dreaming."
......
......
Night fell.
He Li sat at his desk, a laptop in front of him. He was staring intently at the screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard.
Yan Ping stood by the bedroom window, his expression melancholic, like a literary youth with mild depression.
"Sigh..."
Yan Ping let out a soft sigh, turned around, and looked at He Li in the living room, whose expression was gradually becoming contorted. After much hesitation, he finally spoke, "There's something I want to tell you."
He Li replied without looking up, "Wait a moment, I'm in a team fight. Damn it, stupid robot, why are you pulling the Dragon Turtle? Do you need a mount!"
"Jungler, what the hell, everyone's in a team fight, and you're still hitting little birds?
Stone Man, where's your ultimate?
Why is Miss Fortune's ultimate damage so low? Damn it! It's 22 minutes, and you've only built a Manamune!"
"Damn it! I'm not playing anymore!"
Blacklisting, reporting, exiting the game – his actions were practiced to a heart-wrenching degree.
He Li turned to look at Yan Ping.
"What is it?"
Yan Ping suddenly snapped back to reality and pointed at the window. "That dog is back again."
"Oh?" He Li quickly walked to the window and looked out. Besides the cars parked on the roadside, there were no dogs on the street.
"Where's the dog?"
"It's already gone."
"Why didn't you say anything sooner?"
"You were in a team fight just now."
"......Alright, I'm going to shower and sleep."
He Li took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and had just gotten into bed, ready to scroll through his phone before sleeping.
Standing by the window, immersed in the silvery moonlight, the melancholic literary youth spoke again, "There's something I want to tell you."
He Li put down his phone and looked at Yan Ping. "The dog is back?"
Yan Ping shook his head and said,
"The dog isn't back, but a person is."
