Chapter 628: Do You Know Who I Am?

The Puppet Master hovered in the sea, looking to be in deep thought. Meanwhile, Chen Baili had retrieved another talisman, ready to use it anytime.

“I will take your life another day. You have my word,” the Puppet Master said with a cold laugh.

Apparently, he decided not to linger any longer. But Lu Shu was confused about one thing, how could he get out?

Back then, the Puppet Master had thrown the mask to Lu Shu because him touching the relic could not close the remains. Therefore, it was possible to drain him to death right here with Anthony’s help so long as the relic remained untouched!

The Puppet Master was too powerful. The two encounters Lu Shu had with him had already impressed him deeply. At the moment, the old man might not have won the fight alone had he not prepared the talismans in advance.

But Lu Shu had another question to clarify…

“Do you know who I am?” Lu Shu asked curiously. He was still using Ke Ming’s face.

“… I will,” said the Puppet Master.

“Great…” Lu Shu said happily.

“From Cloud Yi’s distress, +199!”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. So the Puppet Master’s real name was Cloud Yi? It sounded strange, though Lu Shu could not explain why.

For all this while, the Puppet Master had given him the impression of an old, satanic devil. Anyway, one could never be anywhere close to a decent individual if he had lived for so long playing with a gruesome puppet all day long. Hence, the elegant name was really… a poor match for his image…

In the next moment, the iron-clad puppet returned to the Puppet Master’s side under his call. Then, the latter crushed a while pearl in his hand and vanished together with his puppet.

Lu Shu was utterly stunned. What?! It’s actually possible to exit the remains without the relic?! That made it impossible to even chase him!

But this time Lu Shu could be certain that the Puppet Master indeed could not touch the relic directly to close the remains. Why was it so? Could it be a privilege of the humans?

However, if the Puppet Master decided to go on a killing spree in the outside world now, Chen Hao and the others would be dead in no time. A bunch of Class C’s and below could never survive the attack of a Class A. He and Chen Baili must get out immediately!

“The relic is the jade green stage in the main palace! Go! Old man!” Lu Shu shouted to Chen Baili, while he himself rushed to the black armored soldiers…

Racing against time, Lu Shu shoved all the black armor into his Seal of Lands before Chen Baili could obtain the relic. No matter what, he could not abandon the armor because it might be of use in the future…

Hence, as Chen Baili flew inside the main palace, he turned to look at Lu Shu picking up armor, speechlessly…

Lu Shu was a man of principle. In the Beimang remains, he had kept the relic in secret, although it became an open secret in the end. Besides, he had made a significant contribution to the entire Heavenly Network during his Japan mission. If Takashima Tairatsu was alive, how would they feel with a Class A scheming against them all day?

Even if Nie Ting defeated Takashima Tairatsu, what if he did not kill him? No matter how powerful Nie Ting was, what if Takashima decided to avoid him and take revenge in the future?

Hence, it was no exaggeration that Lu Shu had eradicated the biggest threat to the Heavenly Network. Therefore, the superiors had allowed him to keep the Seal of Lands for himself.

Moreover, as an overseas remains, things obtained in the Koh Chang Island did not have to be surrendered either.

But it was a different matter here in the Lop Nur remains. With Chen Baili’s presence and the investment of so many resources on the side of the Heavenly Network, Lu Shu could not pocket the relic as he wished. Strategic resources like that were better off left to the Network, and Lu Shu would be happy with those one hundred sets of black armor…

As soon as Lu Shu put all the black armor, including the one he was wearing, into his Seal of Lands, his face returned to his own.

The images of the remains started collapsing in front of his eyes, gushing towards the main palace.

He heaved a sigh of relief. The ten days’ adventure in the remains had finally come to an end, and those Daoyuan Class students were safe too.

But Lu Shu did not let down his guard completely, because he knew he had to fight the Puppet Master outside the remains together with Chen Baili!

However, when he returned to the real world, he saw Chen Hao and the rest leaning against a vehicle, chatting and smoking. It seemed that the Puppet Master had never appeared at all. Lu Shu asked at once, “Did you see anyone get out of the remains in advance?”

Chen Hao said with a smile, “Are you fooling me because I’ve never been to the remains? How can someone get out of the remains in advance?”

Lu Shu and Chen Baili exchanged a startled look. It appeared that the Puppet Master had been transported to somewhere else.

“It would be hard to kill him if he can teleport like this,” Chen Baili said with a sigh.

Lu Shu understood his concern. The Puppet Master could escape once he realized the conditions were against him. But Lu Shu said after some consideration, “I think he may not be able to use it anytime, anywhere. Maybe the number of white pearls he has is limited, and the one he used was the only one in the remains.”

“It can’t be the last one,” Chen Baili shook his head and said, “He could have done much better than using up his only means of survival. Not all hope was lost for him back then.”

Lu Shu pondered and realized this line of thought made sense. He could have returned to Safety Island and hold Daoyuan Class students hostage, or even capture Lu Shu.

“Where’s the armor?” Chen Baili asked, looking sideways at Lu Shu.

“Oh. With me,” said Lu Shu.

He poured out a few hundred sets from his Seal of Lands. Chen Baili said calmly, “More.”

A few hundred sets more were poured out. Chen Baili was getting impatient. “More! Can’t you stop being naughty, kiddo? They are very useful to us. Why do you need so many of them?”

This time, Lu Shu took out thousands of sets in one go. The pile was as huge as a hill!

All Daoyuan Class students who had just exited the remains drew a startled breath. They were quite happy for getting a few parts of the armor, and those who obtained one or two full suits were complacent about their achievement. But their gain was nothing in comparison to Lu Shu’s!

Knowing that Lu Shu had no intention to surrender the black armor, Chen Baili asked, “Why do you need them?”

Lu Shu acted dumb. “Them? What are you talking about?”

Chen Baili laughed aloud. “So I’ve returned you the favor.”

Lu Shu knew what he was referring to. “Sure you have.”

Who was not selfish? With tens of thousands of bronze armor, the border of the Heavenly Network would be impregnable unless Class A’s or B’s had come themselves!

At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly thought of something. As his mask was given by the Puppet Master himself, it was very possible that the Puppet Master would trace down this line to find him.

What the heck… Was he in danger?!
