After pondering for a moment, Qin Shuman also agreed with Qiu Tu's idea.
She said, "Larilo must indeed be out of core believers who can save her. That's why she clings to you like a drowning person to a straw, ready to make a desperate last stand."
Then Qin Shuman asked, "So, what do you plan to do?"
As Qiu Tu walked to the end of the corridor and stood by the window, he said with a smile, "It's quite simple. Just one word: 'Stall!'
"Since she wants to play the game, I'll play along."
"After all, I originally wanted to delay Yan Chen's time."
"Now, I don't even need to brainwash her, just give her a sliver of hope, and that's enough for her to keep going."
Having said that, Qiu Tu further remarked, "Judging from my interaction with Larilo, she should be fine for at least two or three days. Still lively and kicking."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman chuckled on the other end of the phone, then she said, "Just don't be too sure of yourself... aren't you afraid that she actually has an ace up her sleeve and decides to just flip the table and quit the game?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu laughed indifferently, "Flip the table and quit? Wouldn't that be perfect?"
"Yan Chen would surely get backlash from that, right?"
Qiu Tu said, "I actually just figured it out today."
"I used to think that both of them are my enemies, and no matter who wins, I would be in a lot of trouble eventually."
"But now, my thoughts are different: I think that no matter who wins, I will have one less enemy"
"All I need to do is take down the other one."
"That directly cuts the work in half!"
Listening to Qiu Tu's carefree statement, Qin Shuman joked with a laugh, "You, truly a disciple of Larilo. You've learned her ways of the Carefree Faction."
Standing by the corridor window, Qiu Tu gazed at the still brilliant phantom image of the giant tree in the sky and remarked feelingly, "Can't help it. If I'm not slightly optimistic, I would've been crushed long ago."
"We moved carefully, wading through so many dangers. Wasn't that easy~~"
Qin Shuman responded with a laugh, "Indeed. We do need to stay optimistic."
And just as Qiu Tu was looking at the night view, chatting with Qin Shuman...
Suddenly... a loud "Boom!" exploded right next to Qiu Tu's ear!
In that instant, his ears were "buzzing"! It was as if countless bees were flapping their wings right beside his head, creating a piercing buzz!
Before he could even react, "Woof, woof! Woof woof woof!" frenzied barking erupted from downstairs!
The explosion had clearly startled Shen Lingshuang, who had been asleep.
Wearing a small bear pajamas that Qiu Tu had specially bought for her that afternoon, Shen Lingshuang, clutching a nearly life-size doll, ran out of the bedroom, her face stricken with terror!
Meanwhile, Qin Shuman, on the other end of the line, had also heard the explosion and asked anxiously, "What was that noise! Qiu Tu! Are you okay over there? What happened?"
Qiu Tu himself had just recovered from the roar of the bomb exploding close by.
He looked down following the shattered wall.
Then he saw the pitch-dark villa exterior, where who knows how many figures in black were hiding.
The one directly facing him was a person in black, shoulder-launching a rocket launcher, aiming at him, preparing to fire a second rocket.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu first glanced at the rapidly blinking [Countdown to the Revenge of the United Front] in the upper left corner of his field of vision, and then he calmly said to Qin Shuman, "It's nothing... it must be the United Front's retaliation."
"They've brought heavy weaponry."
"Now they're bombarding my mansion."
