Chapter 64 is the World-Destroying Witch! (Bonus Chapter)
A fake saint versus a real cannon!
The outcome of this battle, which is already a foregone conclusion, is about to be revealed!
Getting high is fun for a moment, and getting high all the time is even more fun.
Although Zhang Xinlan's mind was filled with images of the sanctimonious hypocrite being blown to bits, and her blood was boiling with righteous indignation, she wished she could immediately act on behalf of heaven.
But she was still a little hesitant to actually be the one to carry it out.
As Yu Wang said before, people today still have the inertia brought from a society governed by the rule of law. They have a bottom line in their hearts and will not talk about killing or stabbing people.
Zhang Xinlan knew very well that if Yu Wang were here, given his vigilance and decisiveness, these ships, which were clearly hostile, would never have gotten this close.
Fortunately, at this moment, Yu Wang replied in the fleet channel with a message saying, "Hold on, I'll be there soon."
This instantly reassured Zhang Xinlan, as if she had been given a reassuring pill.
Sure thing!
Before long, the sailboat closed to within twenty meters, a distance that was practically "face to face" on the sea.
Two men and one woman, three figures appeared on the bow deck of the "Holy Mother of Salvation".
The woman standing in the middle is the survivor whose ID is "Let the world be filled with love".
She looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with delicate features, wearing a clean white dress, her hair neatly tied back, and a compassionate smile on her face, the same as that of the Virgin Mary statue at the prow.
She appeared kind and innocent, but a calculating glint flashed in her eyes as she glanced at the Little Yellow Duck every now and then, seemingly assessing the ship's value in her mind.
To her left was a man with a hideous scar on his face, a stocky build, and a fierce look in his eyes.
On the right was a tall, thin man with a malicious smile on his lips.
"Hey! That yellow duck boat over there!"
Scarface was the first to shout gruffly, "Just you alone? Where's your man? Wasn't he just on the boat? Hiding?"
Zhang Xinlan's heart tightened, but she didn't show any fear: "What's the matter, gentlemen? There are still plenty of beans in this area. It's better if everyone just harvests their own and doesn't interfere with each other."
"No interference?" the tall, thin man scoffed.
Their eyes greedily scanned the Little Yellow Duck's sturdy hull and its clearly superior configuration compared to the rafts they had been assigned in the game; their jealousy and malice were almost overflowing.
The tall, thin man continued, "Little sister, aren't you scared guarding such a big ship all by yourself? This dungeon isn't safe; there are lots of sharks and bad guys. Your man hasn't shown up for so long; he's probably terrified. What future is there in following a useless man like that?"
He paused, then adopted a "for your own good" tone: "How about cooperating with us? If you just agree, we'll help you get rid of that cowardly good-for-nothing, and you can simply take this ship and join our Holy Mother Cult's fleet. What do you say?"
"We members of the Church of Our Lady have the softest hearts; we can't bear to see poor, lonely people, especially someone as beautiful as you, little sister. We'll definitely take good care of you!"
The scarred man was clearly impatient to continue the conversation. He lowered his voice and urged the saintess in the middle, "Holy Maiden, stop wasting time talking to her. Her man has definitely gone into the water to look for something and won't be back for a while. It's just a woman and a duck. Let's go straight for it and take this ship quickly!"
"Let the world be filled with love," she frowned unhappily, as if the scarred man's rude words had defiled her sacred ears.
She raised her hand, tucked a strand of hair, ruffled by the sea breeze, behind her ear with her slender, fair fingers, and said softly, "Ah Hu, don't always talk about fighting and killing."
"Our goal is to help more lost souls, to gather everyone's strength, and to find a glimmer of hope in this difficult world. Violence is always the worst choice, and it runs counter to the principles of mutual help and love within the Church of Our Lady."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze back to Zhang Xinlan on the Little Yellow Duck, her expression deepening with compassion: "This young woman must be filled with fear and anxiety, guarding the boat alone. We should use love and tolerance to influence her, to help her understand the warmth of the group, and to encourage her to join us willingly, contributing resources to those who need them more. How is plundering and extortion any different from the thugs we so deeply abhor?"
"Otherwise, even if we seize the ship by force, we will lose the hearts of the people and betray our original intention of spreading love. Do you understand?"
Ah Hu lowered his head in shame, tears welling in his eyes: "The Holy Maiden is right!"
The self-righteous hypocrite nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Zhang Xinlan again: "Sister, you see, we don't want to hurt you. Join us. This ship, in your hands, may only be able to shelter you alone, but by giving it to us, it can save many more souls struggling in suffering. Your dedication will bring you immeasurable merit and peace. Isn't this the awareness that we humans should have?"
Zhang Xinlan: "————"
She felt a churning in her stomach; her dinner from the night before was almost vomited up by this "profound" theory!
What is all this nonsense? We need a mental hospital director to take this savior in! "We've discovered that Zhang Xinlan hasn't been tamed." "Let the world be filled with love." He frowned slightly. What's going on? Why is there no reaction even though we've brought up love and righteousness?
Her skill "Compassion" is almost always effective against survivors with weak willpower. "Compassion" is a passive ability given to the captain by the "Salvation Mother". It can subtly influence the audience's judgment and amplify their feelings of guilt and herd mentality when giving speeches on themes such as "altruism", "dedication" and "collectivity".
The skill couldn't possibly malfunction. Could it be because this woman just ate a resistance bean?
At this moment, the distance between the two ships had been quietly reduced to less than ten meters without anyone noticing, and they had completely entered the dangerous zone of close combat.
At this distance, even if Zhang Xinlan were a complete novice, she could hit the target with her eyes closed!
Zhang Xinlan knew that a peaceful resolution was no longer possible.
She gritted her teeth and started the preheating program for the water rocket launcher.
A low, humming energy emanated from the cannon barrel held in the open beak of the "Little Yellow Duck" at the bow, its dark muzzle already aimed at Scarface—the location of the sanctimonious bitch next to him.
Sure enough, it's the sanctimonious bitches who are most hated!
Faced with living, breathing people, Zhang Xinlan gritted her teeth and issued her final warning: "I warn you to immediately retreat to a safe distance. Any further provocation or aggressive action could have serious consequences!"
"A self-defense weapon?" Scarface narrowed his eyes, staring at the water cannon, seemingly somewhat wary, but more so suspicious and greedy.
"A cannon muzzle? This toy-like thing has a cannon? It's probably just a water gun to fool people!"
"Little sister, your older brothers and sisters don't mean anything by it, we just want to invite you to join us. Having more ships gives you an advantage in the dungeon!"
"If we pool our beans together, we'll definitely outperform those who go it alone. Once we're out, we'll donate the reward to the Church of Our Lady; that way, we can save even more people!"
"That's right. Good things can only be truly effective when they enter our Church of Our Lady, understand?"
As the tall, thin man spoke, he winked at the scarred man.
Scarface understood and quietly reached for a rusty harpoon tucked behind his waist.
The atmosphere reached a freezing point, and conflict was imminent.
"Xinlan, fire!"
A familiar low growl rang out from right behind me!
It's Yu Wang! He's back!
Zhang Xinlan was instantly filled with immense courage, and with a thought, she launched the preheated water rocket!
"Buzz—Boom!!"
Inside the cannon barrel, the accumulated energy instantly transforms into violent kinetic energy!
A thick, solid jet of water, like a high-pressure water jet, shot out from the muzzle!
The turbulent current tore through the air, heading straight for the bow of the "Our Lady of Salvation" less than ten meters away!
It's true that Zhang Xinlan aimed the water cannon at the "saintly bitch" (a derogatory term for someone who is overly virtuous and indifferent), but the upgraded water cannon had too wide a strike area, encompassing all three of them and the bow of the ship.
The savage grin on Scarface's face froze instantly, turning into utter terror!
He never expected the other side to actually fire, and he certainly didn't expect the "toy cannon" to be so terrifyingly powerful!
He instinctively tried to dodge, but the torrent was too fast and covered too wide an area!
"Watch out!" the tall, thin man screamed and lunged to the side, but he too met a tragic end.
The hypocrite standing at the forefront suddenly narrowed his eyes, and for the first time, his mask of false benevolence cracked, replaced by undisguised fear and panic.
She tried to back away, but her feet seemed nailed to the deck and she couldn't move, as if something was holding her legs tightly!
"No—how could this be—I've already received approval! I signed the contract! I'll gain power soon! You chose me! You can't just go back on your word—"
She screamed wildly in her heart, fantasizing about some kind of reliance or miracle, but the destructive torrent gave her no chance.
The false saint's dream of salvation is about to face its most direct judgment amidst the roar of real cannons!
Boom!!!
The solid, high-pressure water jets pounded squarely against the bow of the "Our Lady of Salvation"!
Wood chips and pieces flew everywhere as if in an explosion!
The statue of the Virgin Mary was the first to be hit! Under the direct impact of the raging torrent, it couldn't even last half a second before collapsing instantly!
The physical bodies of mortals are so fragile that under this level of destructive power, the original three would naturally not even be left ashes.
However, as the billowing water and flying wood debris subsided slightly, Zhang Xinlan opened her eyes wide in astonishment, staring intently at the blown-open spot on the bow of the "Salvation Mother".
After the exquisite wooden shell of the Virgin Mary statue was completely destroyed, what was exposed was not the ordinary ship hull or supporting structure that one might expect, but a demon statue made of metal with ferocious and twisted lines and a blue face and fangs!
The statue is incredibly lifelike, with its mouth wide open, as if it has been silently mocking all the foolish creatures who come to worship, even though it is encased in the shell of the Virgin Mary.
The atmosphere of the entire ancient sailing ship, due to the exposure of the statue, instantly degenerated from its original "warm redemption" to a chilling and eerie one!
This stark contrast is akin to suddenly tearing off the roof of a sacred church to reveal a cult altar where a bloody sacrifice is taking place!
If Zhang Xinlan could see the current panel of the "Salvation Mother", she would be shocked to find that the ship's name has undergone a complete change. The original name has peeled off like faded paint, and in its place are several characters that emit an ominous dark red light!
It's now called: [The World-Destroying Witch!]
