QT- I’m Almost Died
Chapter 231. Only God In The World
Ma You is an extremely dangerous and uncontrollable figure. If capturing him is an incredibly difficult task, then simultaneously capturing him and rescuing all the hostages is utterly impossible. The expansion and contraction, and even the shattering of space, are all at his single thought. And how fast can a thought be? Compared to the speed of sound, supersonic speed, or even the speed of light?
Chief Yan wasn’t a scientist, he couldn’t explain how fast a human thought could move in a flash. However, he did know that if human thought were extended, it might be able to create a complete universe. Under these circumstances, he couldn’t demand that Teacher Fan both capture and save people, he only hoped that he could return safely.
However, while he wasn’t demanding, Teacher Fan was very demanding of himself, his sense of mission and responsibility was too strong! Chief Yan was deeply moved, but he didn’t forget to express his support, “Teacher Fan, rest assured, we will definitely cooperate with you unconditionally!”
Fan Jialuo pointed to a group of monks not far away and asked, “Are they reinforcements invited by the Tianshui Sect?”
“Yes, these masters are all senior monks from Longyin Temple, invited by the Tianshui Sect to help activate the formation.” Chief Yan gestured with his chin toward the nine people not far away, “They are disciples of the Tianshui Sect. There were originally twenty-one, however, twelve of them perished earlier while attempting to activate the formation. The few remaining are so inept that they cannot even properly draw the array diagram, despite having struggled with it for over an hour. We were unable to save that hostage, either. The door had already been pushed open, but the disciples of the Tianshui Sect refused to exert any further force, the door swung shut once more, and the hostage was strangled to death……”
Chief Yan wiped his face, unable to bear recalling the scene of blood mist filling the sky.
Fan Jialuo patted him on the shoulder in silent comfort, and finally said, “You asked all the monks and the people from the Tianshui Sect to come over. I have something to say to them.”
Chief Yan immediately put aside his distractions and invited the people over.
Taking advantage of the moment, Song Rui asked in a low voice, “What do you want to do?”
Fan Jialuo replied, “You are an expert in dissecting the human mind, but in a contest of power, I am the expert. Do you agree with this point?”
“Agree.” Song Rui nodded.
“Then whatever plan I propose later, you can’t object, at least not in front of others. We can discuss any issues privately, is that okay?”
Song Rui remained silent with a sullen face.
Fan Jialuo grasped his arm, his tone serious, “You must consider the bigger picture.”
Seeing everyone gathering around, Song Rui reluctantly nodded, “Okay, I won’t object in front of others.”
Fan Jialuo breathed a sigh of relief, then gently patted Dr. Song on the shoulder.
Meng Zhong looked at the two of them, his tone somewhat conflicted, “Ei, that’s not right! Why do I feel like the atmosphere between you two is like an old married couple having a family meeting?”
Upon hearing this, the two, still lost in their own thoughts, froze. One involuntarily blushed, while the other smiled silently with a slight upturn of his lips.
“Does it look like it?” Song Rui coughed lightly, his fist pressed against his lips, but his narrow eyes, which were exposed, curved into crescent shapes. In this moment when danger was about to erupt, he could even taste a hint of indescribable sweetness in them.
Fan Jialuo opened his mouth, as if wanting to refute or defend something, but ultimately chose to remain silent. He glanced quickly at Dr. Song, then looked solemnly at the group of monks. The color drained from the tips of his ears, but instead crept onto his handsome face and the corners of his beautiful eyes.
Song Rui gave him a deep look, then turned to face the group of monks, a gentle and serene smile on his lips.
Senior monks：……
“Chief Yan said you have a way to rescue all the hostages? What do you need us to do?” Chang Sheng spoke first, his tone surprisingly calm.
Fan Jialuo took out a list and said, “The police have currently counted forty-seven hostages. I want to ask you, how long would it take you to draw forty-seven Qiankun Shifting Formation?”
Chang Sheng said with shame, “If Chang Zhen and I work together, we can draw one in an hour. Even if the nine of them work together, they can’t draw one in an hour. But Chang Zhen and I have lost our cultivation, so we can’t help.”
Fan Jialuo nodded and said calmly, “So, you might not be able to complete the formation in two or three days. In two or three days, the hostages might have already died of thirst.”
Chang Sheng said with difficulty, “Yes.”
The nine Tianshui Sect disciples standing behind him felt insulted. The most competitive one stepped forward aggressively, ready to retort, but Chang Zhen punched him in the abdomen, causing him to gasp in pain.
“Is what Fan Jialuo said wrong? Do you think you can finish drawing the formation before the hostages die of thirst?” Chang Zhen questioned sharply.
“He’s clearly deliberately making things difficult for us! Yes, we can’t possibly draw all forty-seven formations within three days, but we can at least draw half. We’ll save as many as we can!”
Song Rui sneered, “If you rescue one hostage and anger Ma You, he will kill all the remaining hostages. I suppose you’ve already received such a warning?”
Remembering the girl whose body was torn to pieces by the spatial manipulation, the nine disciples were silent for a moment. Then, one of them retorted defensively, “True, we did provoke him, but he only killed that one hostage. The others are still alive.”
Song Rui’s tone grew increasingly cold, “So you’re proud of only killing one hostage? You’re satisfied with only saving half the hostages and then watching the other half go to their deaths?”
The disciple：……
Chang Sheng couldn’t stand it anymore. He turned around, swung his arm, and slapped the person hard across the face, shouting with extreme disgust, “Shut up! If you can’t speak human language, then don’t speak! We’re here to save people, not to kill them!”
The disciple’s teeth were loosened, and he glared at his senior brother with an aggrieved expression, only to be startled by the fierce look in the other’s eyes. This wasn’t the look of someone looking at a fellow disciple, it was more like looking at a disgusting piece of trash, as if he wanted to kick him to the ends of the earth. The disciple immediately cowered, his lips twitching slightly before he finally hid behind someone.
Song Rui then nudged Fan Jialuo’s arm and said gently, “Go on.” Now he not only takes on all the dirty and tiring work, but also handles the arguments and fights.
Fan Jialuo glanced at him with a smile, then looked around at everyone and said seriously, “Ma You believes himself to be a god, superior to this world. If we save people one by one, he will feel that his authority and divinity have been challenged, and the consequences will be absolutely disastrous. Therefore, it is best for us to save everyone at the same time, so as not to give him the opportunity to kill for revenge. In other words, I need you to prepare forty-seven formations at once, arrange for forty-seven people to activate them, and at the same time break through Ma You’s space.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Sheng shook his head dejectedly, “It’s impossible. We can’t draw forty-seven formations in three days. Moreover, activating a formation requires draining the cultivation of more than a dozen people at the same time. I’m afraid even all of us combined can’t do it.”
“It can be done.” Fan Jialuo said decisively.
Chang Sheng was drawn to his determined eyes and subconsciously asked, “How?”
“I will openly provoke Ma You, daring him to come and capture me. Once inside his space, I will attempt to destabilize it from within, pushing it to the brink of collapse. To counter me, he will inevitably be forced to divert the vast majority of his power simply to maintain the integrity of that space.”
Upon hearing this, Song Rui instinctively opened his mouth, but remembering his previous agreement with this person, he barely managed to suppress his anger. He bit the word “no” hard between his teeth.
Fan Jialuo seemed to sense something, and patted him on the back, continuing, “Right now, Ma You is holding countless ropes, the other end of which is tied to countless prey. These prey don’t know how to resist, so he can leisurely enjoy their desperate struggles. But imagine if one of the prey is incredibly strong and about to break the rope and escape, what will he do?”
Abbot Changjing said knowingly, “Amituofu, he will drop the rest of the ropes and hold on tightly to the one that is about to break.”
Fan Jialuo nodded, “That’s right. He will keep reinforcing the space I am in, but his power is limited. My space has consumed most of his energy, so other spaces will naturally become extremely weak. Opening them may be easier than piercing a piece of paper.”
Upon hearing this, Chang Sheng understood and felt a great sense of responsibility, “Therefore, the key is whether we can prepare all the necessary formations.”
Fan Jialuo nodded and said, “Absolutely!”
“Then I’ll immediately have all the disciples from the surrounding cities come over to draw the formation. It should be quick by plane.” Chang Sheng sent a group message while saying apologetically, “I’m sorry, Shifu said that the formation cannot be passed on to outsiders, and I can’t make that decision.” Before this, he would never have bowed down to Fan Jialuo, that traitor, but now, he sincerely added, “We’ve done a lot of wrong things and caused you a lot of trouble. I’m sorry.”
Fan Jialuo waved his hand and walked away without a word. The most useless words now were simply “I’m sorry.”
Chief Yan instructed Chang Sheng to compile a list of Tianshui Sect disciples from nearby cities, promising to send a special plane to pick them up. In his view, teaching the array diagrams to Teacher Fan was the quickest way, perhaps Teacher Fan could draw all forty-seven patterns in one go, without wasting these few hours. However, the array diagrams were in their minds, not something he could force them to hand over. Trying to reason with them might just waste more time.
Chief Yan was busy dispatching planes, Chang Sheng was busy notifying his junior brothers and sisters, while Fan Jialuo was pulled aside by Song Rui for a serious talk.
“You’ve already forgotten the key points I asked you to highlight. The internal turbulence is meant to provoke Ma You!”
“Don’t worry, he won’t kill me right away. The more I resist, the more he wants me to submit, that’s a human weakness. In a god’s mind, being offended by a mortal is the most unbearable thing. Moreover, when he realizes that all his other prey have been rescued and I am the only hostage he has left, he is even less likely to strangle me easily. He will fight me to the death, and my life will be more secure.”
After pondering for a while, Song Rui had to nod and admit, “You’re right. The fewer the hostages, the higher your value.”
“So you agree to my plan?”
“Agreed, but you need to be careful with your temper during the duel.”
“Okay, I’ll be careful.” Fan Jialuo raised his hand.
The old-fashioned Song Rui was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was waiting for. He hurriedly raised his hand to lightly tap his palm, then shook his head helplessly and let out a low chuckle. It seemed he was simply powerless against this man.
Seeing the two walking over side by side, looking relaxed, Meng Zhong teased, “Is the family meeting over?”
This time, the two of them showed no resistance, instead, they readily nodded.
The disciples of the Tianshui Sect arrived at New Era Square at around 1 a.m. the next day. Before they could even put down their luggage, Song Rui summoned them together for a meeting.
Initially, these people looked down on this so-called Dr. Song, thinking he was an amateur trying to instruct experts and would only ruin things. However, after hearing his explanation, they were all stunned. He had already devised an assembly-line drawing method before they even arrived, allowing each person to focus on their area of expertise, leaving the rest to others. This maximized everyone’s time and energy, while producing the most perfect drawings.
“They say birds of a feather flock together.” Chang Sheng said with a sigh as he walked to the long table covered with forty-seven talismans after the meeting, “This Dr. Song is Fan Jialuo’s best friend. One of them is incredibly powerful, and the other is full of cunning. No wonder they almost captured the elusive Ma You. If we had been able to set aside our prejudices and get to know them better, and had a little more trust in them, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”
Chang Zhen said in a low voice, “We ruined their plans, and we have to make amends.”
Lin Nian’en placed the still-aging Lin Nianci on a stretcher and walked over to whisper, “Did Fan Jialu really betray our sect back then? I don’t think he’s a bad person. A bad person wouldn’t risk being killed to save a group of ordinary people. What would he be after?”
When this topic came up, Chang Sheng and Chang Zhen both fell silent. What good does it do for them to feel that Fan Jialuo doesn’t seem like a traitor? If the Shizu says he is one, then he is——and there is no room for anyone to object.
Time ticked by, and before dawn, all forty-seven arrays were completed, their lines remarkably smooth and clear, far surpassing any diagram drawn by the Tianshui Sect disciples in the past. Examining them one by one along the long table, Chang Sheng had to admit that the wisdom of ordinary people could indeed surpass even the arts of Taoism.
“Are you ready?” Fan Jialuo asked as he approached, his body exuding a very pleasant fragrance.
He had changed into a pure black suit, his hair slicked back, revealing an exquisitely handsome face. On his wrist hung an expensive, luxurious mechanical watch, and his sapphire-encrusted tie clip and cufflinks gleamed under the lights. Every inch of him exuded the qualities of nobility, elegance, extraordinary, and excellence……
He seemed to walk on a halo of light, exuding a cold and aloof aura, appearing so superior and captivating, completely different from his previous calm and gentle demeanor.
Chang Sheng was stunned for a long time before stiffly nodding.
Lin Nian’en took several steps back, his face flushed, and complained softly, “Hell, why’d you have to get so handsome?”
Fan Jialuo glanced at him, said nothing, carefully instructed Chang Sheng a few words, and then left. In fact, his attire was also arranged by Dr. Song. In the other party’s words, it was a preemptive strike and a silent provocation. Seeing such a radiant person stand up to provoke him, Ma You’s jealousy would instantly rise to its peak, and he would rush over at the first opportunity.
Since the incident, Dr. Song’s analysis has never been wrong, so Chief Yan was very willing to listen to his opinion. He immediately invited the best styling team in Beijing to create this outfit for Teacher Fan at any cost. Now, Teacher Fan only needs to stand there, without doing anything, to command the submission of everyone who sees him. This is what it means to use one’s good looks to commit crimes.
Song Rui stared at him for a long time, then said in a hoarse voice, “I’m starting to regret it——”
“What?” Fan Jialuo adjusted his sleeves as he walked towards the brightly lit filming location.
Song Rui opened his mouth, but then changed his mind and said, “It’s okay, you go ahead and get busy.”
Fan Jialuo gave him a strange look, then leisurely walked to the center of the square, sat down on a luxuriously designed armchair, lazily crossed his long legs, one hand resting naturally on his knee, the other supporting his forehead, his deep eyes staring straight ahead, and said in a casual tone, “There is only one god in this world, and that is me, Fan Jialuo……”
