Bai Cangshu stood up and came before the black-haired Woman. Her body's instinctive muscle reaction wouldn't lie; her muscles were tense, and she instinctively flinched backward.
This Woman was afraid of him.
But on the other hand, despite such fear, this Woman actively approached him, even risking being killed by him to reveal his identity.
Tsk, he's a lunatic too.
Bai Cangshu could see that beneath this somewhat timid facade, this Woman held a conviction that no one could stop.
And... Woman, huh.
Bai Cangshu watched the Professor's reaction as he approached, even deliberately looking at her body with a wanton gaze, and the corner of his mouth curved up.
A normal Woman wouldn't react this way in such a situation.
Most women in East Xia, and even across Asia, have a subconscious habit of protecting their private parts.
Just like Elizabeth, when he looked at her, she would instinctively turn her body or stare back at him; those were all expressions of protecting herself.
But the Professor had absolutely no such reaction; 'she' only felt fear of life and death towards him, and no other kind of fear.
Bai Cangshu looked at the Professor playfully and suddenly spoke.
"You're actually a man, aren't you, Professor?"
"Is this female-looking avatar more expensive than a normal avatar?"
The Professor was struck as if by lightning, his face instantly turning pale. At this moment, he instinctively felt immense fear, as if his disguise had been completely exposed.
He looked left and right, completely forgetting that he had just used Mental power to scan the surrounding Space.
This reaction made Bai Cangshu show a mocking expression. He spread his hands, stepped back two steps, and sat down again.
This Professor might indeed have his own secrets and some special talents, but in Bai Cangshu's opinion, he was too green. Even Clown Ivans, who died by his hand, was more mature than him.
The Professor stood still, his face pale and green. He knew that the extensive experience he had been pretending to have was completely seen through. In front of him, he had no bargaining power, and if he had malicious intentions, he would face terrible blackmail.
Hoo~
He took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions. Many scenes quickly flashed through his mind.
The Reincarnation Space had many monsters that couldn't be measured by ordinary people. Hadn't he already prepared himself mentally for this?
Right now, he just happened to encounter one of them.
Wild, powerful, and intelligent, completely lacking the recklessness and arrogance of the powerful people in those stories. Beneath his seemingly crazy actions lay a sharpness that saw through everything.
The Professor looked back at Bai Cangshu. He had already equated this man, who had made his avatar into an absurd face like an ancient god, with the monsters he had heard about.
He met Bai Cangshu's gaze again, his eyes having returned to calmness.
"Tao Bai Bai, I want to make a deal with you."
Seeing that Bai Cangshu didn't refuse, he continued speaking.
"I think you should also be a newcomer, and the kind of newcomer without other Reincarnators backing you."
"I want to exchange a piece of information, information related to 'Special Reincarnators' like you and me, for your promise not to join the opposing faction in this mission!"
Bai Cangshu looked playfully at this Reincarnator who had quickly stabilized his emotions and adjusted his thinking in such a short time.
Perhaps, he wasn't as useless as he thought.
For Reincarnators, so-called aptitude often had many dimensions; being good at combat wasn't the only sign of excellent aptitude.
This Professor was quite good at assessing the situation and grasping the scale. For example, at this moment, his request for a deal was merely for Bai Cangshu not to join the faction hostile to him. It was clear he didn't want to face an enemy like Bai Cangshu.
But he didn't ask Bai Cangshu to be with him, nor did he restrict Bai Cangshu.
Although there were only two factions on the surface in this world, the Demon Slayer Corps and Kibutsuji Muzan, since this world had mutated to the point where Kibutsuji Muzan had contacted high-level government officials and started to interfere in various aspects.
Then naturally, many third-party factions would appear.
This was also the reason why Bai Cangshu didn't indulge Butterfly Kanae.
"I see you're not very brave either. If I questioned you before killing you, you'd likely tell me that information, wouldn't you?"
Bai Cangshu said with a smile, his tone gentle, but the content was chilling.
But the Professor had already clarified his thoughts. He looked at Bai Cangshu calmly and shook his head.
"You won't do that."
"Although Mr. Tao Bai Bai's actions appear crazy on the surface, he is actually very rational. After I hinted that I have a force cultivating me, you won't kill me without reason."
"The reason isn't fear of retaliation, but..."
The Professor looked at Bai Cangshu, his tone certain.
"But that kind of action isn't worth it."
Clap, clap, clap clap clap!
Bai Cangshu clapped his hands, completely approving of this 'Professor' who had disguised himself as a Woman. He changed his opinion; the other party was also a very interesting Reincarnator, quite... talented.
"Tell me about it, what does the so-called 'card Holder' refer to?"
Read the unedited version at 1619shu8!
The Professor felt a sense of relief. Although he had previously thought about the Logic of this 'Tao Bai Bai's' actions, the other party constantly revealed dangerous intentions.
Moreover, the ability to kill Reincarnators and obtain scarlet drops in a peaceful cooperative mission world was simply too terrifying. He guessed that it was probably a special ability of a 'Great Sin'Tie 'card Holder'.
This ability was simply stimulating Reincarnators to become crazy killers everywhere.
In fact, he had heard that all the 'Great Sin'Tie Special Reincarnators who had appeared in the Reincarnation Space before, without exception, had risen rapidly in a short period, and then fallen in a certain mission because they had offended too many people.
In the Reincarnation Space, you could be crazy, but you absolutely couldn't be endlessly crazy.
He composed himself and began to explain the secrets of the Space.
"I don't know how many missions you've experienced or how much you understand about the Space, but I believe you should already know that besides the Space rating that marks a Reincarnator's strength - Paper, Normal, Strong, Fierce, Berserk, God, Beyond Logic - there is also a level."
"A level that identifies your value to the Space as a Reincarnator!"
Bai Cangshu nodded. He had indeed seen this in the Goddess Residence.
The Professor continued to explain.
"After Reincarnators surpass 3-star evaluation, they will obtain a unique 'Title', known as 'Title-level' Reincarnators."
"Every 'Title-level' Reincarnator is accompanied by extremely powerful and highly prioritized special authority."
"It is said that when your personal attributes exceed a certain extreme value, you will receive an invitation from the Space to participate in a Arena match to compete for the 'Zhi Qiang Zhe' title. There are multiple 'Zhi Qiang Zhe' in the Space, each being the pinnacle of a certain type of Reincarnator."
"And in this Infinite Dimensional Space, which began at an unknown time, there exist special kings beyond the 'Zhi Qiang Zhe'. These Reincarnators with the 'King' title have, in some way, seized the authority of the Space."
"They fabricated the 52 'cards' that should not have existed."
The Professor's information was indeed a secret Bai Cangshu had never heard of.
"Twelve Heavenly Stems, granted to those with predetermined fate;"
"Seven Great Sins, Eight virtues, granted to those born as anomalies;"
"Twenty-two Tarot, granted to the chosen ones;"
"And, there are also the three most mysterious cards, whose faces no one knows, and whose abilities beneath the faces no one knows."
As he spoke, a card appeared in the Professor's hand. The card face was a dignified priestess, with the Roman numeral 'II' on it.
It was exactly the second card among the so-called twenty-two Tarot cards - the 'priestess'.
