Chapter 673: Sure Enough, Not a Good Person
"What are you saying, don’t you trust me?" Lisa looked quite angry, but Gu Fan remained calm, and continued, "Earlier, you mentioned that the researchers here turned into statues because something went wrong during their immortality research. Is that correct?"
"Yes, what’s the problem?" Lisa furrowed her brows slightly, sensing something was amiss.
Gu Fan continued speaking: "I observed the statues outside, their expressions and postures appear natural. They became statues without knowing what was happening, meaning they were unaware of any issues with the experiment. However, the statues in this room reveal looks of terror, indicating they knew something was wrong with the experiment. Is this experiment related to that blue crystal in your hands?"
Su Hui chimed in: "If I’m not wrong, why would the Shennv Xuanhui, given how unique this crystal is, not take it away? Either there’s something wrong with the crystal, or Shennv Xuanhui never entered this room, right?"
Gu Fan added: "Since the crystal relates to immortality, is it possible that by touching it, one would achieve immortality in the same way you did, becoming a Wandering Sea Ghost like yourself?"
Lisa paused, her expression growing serious: "As I said earlier, if I meant to harm you, I wouldn’t have waited till now."
"Because you know you can’t seize power alone, you need allies, and we could be those allies," Gu Fan said each word deliberately, his assertions strongly suggesting that he had seen through Lisa’s scheme.
Still, Lisa stood her ground: "If I had tricked you in such a way, you would surely be furious and refuse to help me seize power."
"Because you knew we value friendship, and would go to great lengths to protect our friends, even if we became Wandering Sea Ghosts ourselves due to your deception, even if we harbored resentment against you, we would still assist you in order to protect our companions from the other Sea Ghosts." Su Hui’s statement seemed to rip away Lisa’s facade, her words visibly irritating Lisa.
