"When did you arrive?"
Jun Ci was startled, almost instinctively reaching for his gun.
Wu Suowei ignored him, his gaze fixed intently on Duan Chen.
"You damn… you calculated wrong, when did I ever owe you money?"
Duan Chen's mouth twitched. This guy truly had no bottom when it came to money. Besides, with so many debts, he couldn't even keep track.
Wu Suowei actually extended a finger and began to haggle with him, one by one.
"Let me think, back in the hospital, you bought my pills… Speaking of which, isn't Bai Ye supposed to pay you back for what he owes? That deadbeat owes me quite a bit. You're the king piece, he's the white piece, so by that logic, your status should be that of his guardian, right? Bai Ye looks like he's not even an adult yet…"
"Why should I pay back the money he owes? And besides! I've helped you keep an eye on your little brat, haven't I? Where's my money?!" Duan Chen suddenly remembered this point and started to argue back.
"You two…"
Du Qingyi was somewhat speechless. Were they treating Abaddon behind them as air?
Abaddon was clearly also angered. He swept his claws.
"Dong!"
At some point, an invisible wall of energy had formed behind Wu Suowei. Abaddon only hit the wall and was stunned when he saw this.
"Dong dong dong!"
It was evident that Abaddon was somewhat furious, continuously banging on the wall of energy. Du Qingyi and the others watched, feeling that his demeanor was somewhat like… a prisoner’s lament?
Just then, Wu Suowei seemed to have run out of arguments with Duan Chen. He turned around and glared at Abaddon.
"When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt!"
"Dong dong dong dong dong!"
"Tsk…"
Wu Suowei looked at Duan Chen, smiling amicably.
"How about this, I'll deal with it for you, and you'll pay me a million in reward."
"Deal!"
Duan Chen thought Wu Suowei was probably short on cash. Otherwise, with his personality, asking for ten million would be normal. Clearly, being out of the human world for too long had made him a bit out of touch with current prices.
"I asked for too little!"
Wu Suowei regretted it.
Duan Chen, on the other hand, was secretly pleased. He never thought he'd hear that sentence from Wu Suowei’s mouth one day.
Having been at a disadvantage with Duan Chen, Wu Suowei decided to retaliate against Abaddon. He turned around, the wall of energy disappeared, and Abaddon stumbled, lunging towards him.
"I'm not a beauty, what use is it for you to pounce on me?"
Wu Suowei spread his hands, hooked his middle finger with his thumb, and actually flicked Abaddon on the forehead.
That's right, a flick on the forehead!
Then, Abaddon's ethereal form actually flipped several times in the air. The dark energy swirling around him seemed to have been dispersed by this incredibly powerful forehead flick.
What kind of maneuver was this?
Abaddon, who had been invincible just moments ago, was now dealt with by a mere forehead flick from this man?
Jun Ci and the others were starting to believe he was a god.
However… would a god really be so unreliable?
"Forget it! Let's leave first!"
Gallot clearly saw that things were not right and decided to leave with Gu Sang, abandoning the dimensional gate if necessary!
This man was clearly not someone they could afford to provoke!
"Want to leave?!"
Wu Suowei flashed forward, appearing in front of the two. Just as he was about to deliver two forehead flicks, a woman suddenly appeared and blocked Nia.
"Mom?"
"Don't touch him!"
Wu Suowei, being a god, did not understand human emotions. But he knew Jia Yunlian's relationship with Nia and found himself in a difficult situation.
"Wu Suowei, deal with Abaddon first!"
"Tsk… Understood."
He couldn't harm psychics. As long as Jia Yunlian stood there, he couldn't make a move on Nia. And Abaddon was also difficult to deal with. In this case…
"Next time we meet, it won't be this simple."
Helpless, Wu Suowei had to temporarily give up on Nia and the other, turning to face Abaddon.
Under the power of an electromagnetic cannon, Abaddon completely vanished from existence. 138 Reading Network.
Jun Ci and the others were dumbfounded.
They had seen Duan Chen use that move before, but the power was incomparable.
"Hoo…"
When Wu Suowei looked over again, Nia and Gu Sang had already escaped.
It was also fortunate that they escaped promptly. If they had dared to linger around the dimensional gate, he would not have let them go.
"Hmph… Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier instead of dragging it out?"
Zhao Yuan snorted coldly.
"Don't say that, Old Man. Wasn't I just trying to let you stretch your muscles?"
After speaking, he looked at Hill.
"Pan… No, you should be called Priestess now. Long time no see."
"You recognize me? Have I met you before?"
Hill had no memory of Wu Suowei.
"Whether we've met or not doesn't matter, the point is, it's been a long time."
"Right, Village Chief Zhao said Hill is the lock for this gate? What does that mean?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Suowei explained, "More accurately, she is both the lock and the key. However, very few people know that Hill is the key, not even the two apostles just now were aware of it."
"Elaborate."
"Since it's a gate, it must have a lock and a key. The way Leviathan broke through the gate before was too crude, rendering both the lock and the key useless.
"Normally, closing or opening a dimensional gate requires a lock and a key. Hill is the lock for this gate. This is an ability granted to her by fate. As long as Hill is alive, this gate will never be opened, unless Leviathan reappears and forces it open. But this only applies to this specific dimensional gate. For other gates, Hill would no longer be the lock."
"Then what about the key?"
"This is quite special. Theoretically, the lock and key for a dimensional gate could be two people, or two items. This is the first time I've seen a situation where the key and lock are one and the same."
"So if Hill is both the lock and the key, it's a complete paradox," Fatty Tu snorted.
"No," Wu Suowei said, unusually serious.
"Whether she is the key or the lock depends on whether her evil thoughts or good thoughts are stronger. If she wishes to open the dimensional gate and release the evil god's soul, then she is the key. If she wishes to seal the evil god and prevent him from harming time, then Hill is the lock."
"So, other dimensional gates also have keys and locks?"
Duan Chen felt a headache coming on. If the apostles found the key first, wouldn't that be troublesome?
Unexpectedly, Wu Suowei grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
"No, as far as I know, only three dimensional gates have locks and keys. Two of these three have already been found."
"Who are the lock and key for the dimensional gate Old Zhang is guarding?"
"The lock is Old Zhang, and the key… is Gao Tiankai."
Duan Chen took a deep breath.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Waiting for the right moment."
Wu Suowei shrugged.
