"Is she dead?"
Bao Leling's body went limp, and her eyes gradually dimmed.
Seeing this, everyone was startled and instinctively turned their gaze to Lin Lang—
Didn't that mean the mystery of the crystal ball would remain unsolved?…
But Lin Lang wasn't disheartened, nor was he furious.
Instead, he curled his lips slightly and said in a calm, almost eerie tone, "Teacher Liu, it's your turn."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Liu Lan was momentarily stunned but quickly understood Lin Lang's intention.
"Oh…"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, she walked over.
She crouched down, took a deep breath, and then gently pressed her fingertip against Bao Leling's forehead.
She quietly channeled the power of life—
A soft glow emanated from her fingertip.
A wondrous energy flowed into Bao Leling's body! Wherever it passed, cells revived, and blood began to circulate again!…
Everyone held their breath, watching intently.
Soon enough, Bao Leling's pale face regained its color, and her stiff body trembled slightly. Then—
Her eyes snapped open! Like a drowning person just rescued, she gasped for air, coughing violently.
"W-what… cough! What's going on? Wasn't I dead?…"
Seeing this, Liu Lan said casually, "Done!"
"Hiss!"
Everyone stared at her in utter astonishment!
Their expressions were as if they'd seen a ghost: "What?!"
"The dead can come back to life?!"
"Are you some kind of god?!"
…
Seeing everyone so shocked, Liu Lan felt a bit embarrassed.
She chuckled a few times before explaining, "It's because she wasn't completely dead. I just gave her a bit of life force to bring her back."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief but still admired her greatly.
"That's still incredible!"
…
Lin Lang looked down at Bao Leling and said, "You haven't answered my question yet. How could you die?"
Bao Leling gradually recovered, her deep gaze lingering on Lin Lang for a long time. "You're terrifying!"
"Not only can you defy the laws of space…"
"But you can even manipulate life and death!"
"Just… who are you?"
Lin Lang didn't respond, his calm eyes simply waiting for her answer.
Finally, Bao Leling sighed.
She knew she had no choice but to speak, so she began, "A while ago, while I was out adventuring…"
"I happened to come across two frogs fighting. One was red, and the other was blue."
"The red frog was very strong and soon killed the blue frog, then left!"
"The body of the blue frog turned into this crystal ball, which I picked up."
"It wasn't until recently that I discovered the crystal ball contained the laws of space…"
…
"Frogs fighting?"
Everyone's expressions turned strange and incredulous upon hearing Bao Leling's story. Was it true or just a tall tale?
However, Lin Lang wasn't particularly surprised—
Though it sounded a bit absurd, the world they lived in now couldn't be judged by normal standards. The more outrageous something seemed, the more likely it was to be true!
Besides, Lin Lang had just encountered a similarly peculiar "frog" not long ago!…
"Alright, I have no more questions."
Lin Lang collected his thoughts.
Then he walked over to Xu Xingyao, gently pulling her delicate figure into his arms—
Right now, all he wanted was to take his little maid back home.
Comfort her wounded little heart!
As for the remaining bandits, agents, and the like!
Deal with them as they should be dealt with.
He didn't plan to waste any more thoughts on them.
...
"What about these bandits…"
Everyone instinctively asked, exchanging glances, testing each other's attitudes.
At this moment, Song Feng firmly declared:
"These bandits have committed countless murders and robberies! Their crimes are heinous!"
"They even dared to attack agents!"
"They must be killed!"
Hearing this!
Bao Leling, who had already died once, remained somewhat calm! But the other two bandits were scared out of their wits!
They hurriedly kowtowed, begging for mercy!
"Spare us! We'll never dare again!"
...
At this moment! That overly compassionate Ye Jingjing rushed out again!
Tears shimmered in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and she shouted at the crowd, "How can you all be like this!"
"Deciding their life and death with just a few words!"
"Although they are bandits… they are still pitiful!"
"Have none of you ever made mistakes?"
"Do people who've made mistakes not deserve to live?"
...
The crowd was speechless!
This woman is truly hopeless! Could these bandits be her relatives?
Otherwise, why would she keep speaking up for them?
...
But no one refuted her at this moment.
Instead, they turned to look at Lin Lang.
Awaiting his judgment.
However!
Lin Lang didn't care about this.
After all, Bao Leling was of no value to him anymore.
Whether she lived or died didn't matter! As for a woman like Ye Jingjing—
He couldn't even be bothered to think about what was going on in her head!
Her suggestion.
Naturally, it was invalid!...
But to quickly deal with these troubles! Lin Lang still designated Xu Bing:
"You decide!"
Xu Bing was an agent and, to some extent, could represent the authorities, which made it reasonable! And the crowd also complied with Lin Lang's arrangement—
Because.
This man was too strong! He had even saved their lives! What right did they have to say no to him?...
"Alright."
Xu Bing agreed, then addressed the crowd, "Although these bandits are guilty of heinous crimes and deserve to die!"
"However!"
"We are agents, representing the organization, and we absolutely cannot kill people arbitrarily."
Hearing this!
The bandits secretly breathed a sigh of relief—
No matter what!
At least their lives were spared! Even if they had to go to prison or something, it was a minor issue!
And who knows! Prison might even provide free food and shelter! It might be more comfortable than being bandits!
...
But the crowd! They were all shocked! Thinking that Xu Bing's compassion had also kicked in!...
Only Ye Jingjing! As if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted from her shoulders! She gently patted her chest, her face filled with emotion:
"Oh! Jingjing's kindness has finally influenced someone else!"
"Go, go, go!"
She cheered herself on in a very naive way!
Determined to keep trying!
...
However!
Xu Bing glanced lightly at Ye Jingjing and calmly said:
"But…"
"The agency has recently been trying to reclaim territories occupied by Ferocious Beasts!"
"We need people to go into the wilderness to reclaim the land!"
"Why not… give them a chance to atone for their crimes!"
"Let them go too!"
...
Hearing this!
The crowd couldn't help but be stunned—
Going to the wilderness to reclaim land? The wilderness referred to by the Special Agents Bureau is not like the wilderness of the Jiangbei villa area—this can only be considered the outdoors at best!
The real wilderness! Refers to those worlds of Ferocious Beasts where few humans tread—
B-level Ferocious Beasts are everywhere, and A-level Ferocious Beasts are as common as dogs! Even A-level powerfaces, when they go there, face a slim chance of survival! Yet, it is precisely in such places that abundant resources exist!
They are treasure regions that humans absolutely cannot abandon!
In short! Being sent there is almost like being sentenced to death! Such punishment! Is most fitting for these bandits!
...
Hearing this!
The bandits' hearts turned to ashes!
They had already envisioned ten thousand tragic ways they could die in the world of Ferocious Beasts!
Seeing this, Ye Jingjing! Exclaimed an exaggerated "No!" startling everyone! Then!
She jumped in front of Lin Lang, gently tugged at his sleeve, and pitifully said:
"Mr. Lin, please let them go! They are really pitiful!"
Lin Lang frowned—
What kind of low-grade woman dares to touch me?
He immediately released a burst of Spiritual energy! And sent her flying to the side! Ye Jingjing, who fell to the ground:
"???"
What?
What's with that look of utter disdain on your face?
Am I ugly?
...
But the next moment! Lin Lang's icy gaze swept over: "Since you pity them so much, then go with them!"
"Ah?!"
Ye Jingjing was instantly stunned!
