Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!-Chapter 273 Plans of the Ghosts

The Eternal Winter Lord had been absent from the Abyssal Empire for about four to five days, and the Earthly and Heavenly Ghosts, left without their master, were slightly disoriented.

Despite the Eternal Winter Lord not blaming them, both the Earthly and Heavenly Ghosts believed that his personal expedition was entirely due to their previous failure.

Now that the situation had progressed to this point, the Eternal Winter Lord didn't ask them to do anything else, merely to keep in touch regularly and report on "Banning's" location.

In terms of surveillance, the Earthly Ghost controlled snakes, and the Heavenly Ghost controlled birds. They cooperated with each other, working in shifts day and night, watching Banning closely 24/7. They would immediately notice if he left Delis Town.

But, the duo, who prided themselves as the Eternal Winter Lord's competent subordinates, couldn't accept their previous failure and gradually began to form a new idea after pondering over it.

.

On this day, the Earthly Ghost and the Heavenly Ghost, without prior agreement, sought each other out for the same matter: to plot another assassination attempt on Banning.

"Heavenly Ghost, I've adjusted my mindset, and I feel like I can do it again."

"Really? That's quite a coincidence. I've also reignited my fighting spirit recently."

The Earthly Ghost and the Heavenly Ghost looked at each other and laughed, then reached a consensus. They decided to treat each subsequent assassination attempt as the last, without fear of failure.

If they succeeded, they would be relieving the Eternal Winter Lord's worries. If they failed, it wouldn't affect the Eternal Winter Lord's actions.

Then, since they were treating this as their last attempt, they naturally had to give it their all to assassinate Banning.

The Earthly Ghost told the Heavenly Ghost that he had successfully persuaded the most powerful member of the Shadow Serpent Society, who was now on his way to Delis Town.

The Heavenly Ghost was quite surprised upon hearing this, as he knew something about the highest combat power of the Shadow Serpent Society, who was known for being uncontrollable.

"Earthly Ghost, your physical body isn't in the Human Alliance, how could you persuade him?"

The Heavenly Ghost's question made the Earthly Ghost smile bitterly.

To mobilize the "most powerful combatant", he indeed paid a considerable price.

"I made a deal with him. As long as the assassination is successful, I will give him the 'Millennium Snake Crystal' as a reward."

"The Millennium Snake Crystal?!" The Heavenly Ghost was shocked.

"Earthly Ghost, if you give away the Millennium Snake Crystal, what will you do for your next tier advancement? There is not a second one in the world!" 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴

The Heavenly Ghost's words were not unknown to the Earthly Ghost, who could only let out a sigh.

"Serving the Eternal Winter Lord by removing obstacles is the reason for our existence. My personal gains and losses are insignificant."

The Earthly Ghost's resolution moved the Heavenly Ghost, but even before he was moved by the Earthly Ghost, he had made a crazy move, just like the Earthly Ghost.

"You're right. But I estimate that before the most powerful combatant of your Shadow Serpent Society arrives in Delis Town, Banning will already be dead."

The Heavenly Ghost mysteriously told the Earthly Ghost about his plan: these days, the Heavenly Ghost had sold all his possessions and bought the legendary "Liberation Stone" in the demon black market.

As long as the Liberation Stone is sent into the labyrinth, it can make all the demons in the labyrinth, including the boss, go berserk. Their strength will increase dramatically by one tier, but the corresponding side effect is that the labyrinth that absorbed the Liberation Stone will collapse on its own after seven days, so it's an extremely luxurious one-time item.

"Given the current situation, this guy Banning is likely to enter the 'Aqua Nest'. Once we confirm he has entered, I will arrange for someone to take the Liberation Stone in. We'll trap him there with no place to bury his dead body."

The Heavenly Ghost's eyes shone as he spoke, as if he had already seen the scene of Banning dying in the labyrinth.

After hearing the Heavenly Ghost's plan, the Earthly Ghost was also very excited. Their two plans complemented each other perfectly. No matter whether Banning ultimately entered the labyrinth or not, what awaited him was a deadly trap!

"Heavenly Ghost!"

"Earthly Ghost!"

The Heavenly Ghost and the Earthly Ghost firmly clasped each other's hands. They were full of confidence in this joint operation and vowed to win the recognition of the "Eternal Winter Lord" again with the success of this mission!

.

Transitioning back to the scene at Delis Town, Tyler, having bid farewell to Sheryl, the Ice Polestar, promptly located Heloise and the others. He conveyed the agreement he'd made with Sheryl to the group.

"Since we've broached the subject, you are free to withdraw from the Labyrinth Raid Team without any reservations. Is that understood?"

Tyler's intention was for Heloise, Vanessa, and Garvit to altogether abandon this labyrinth expedition.

Everyone was in agreement with this decision, but they were concerned about Tyler undertaking this dangerous mission alone.

"Lord Felix, while I, Garvit, may not be particularly competent, I am admittedly quite resilient. I hope you will entrust the task of uncovering the truth to me."

Garvit was well aware of the perilous nature of this task, but if his life could serve a purpose for Lord Banning, he would die without regret!

"Well, Captain of the Emerald City Cavalry, it's most suitable for this task to be assigned to the apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King. When it comes to reconnaissance and withdrawal, the agility and speed of our tigermen race are unmatched!"

Heloise also stepped forward. She was not unafraid of death; rather, she was confident in her ability to return alive.

Tyler was touched to see both of them willing to risk their lives for him.

He hadn't made such close friends on Earth, but in this Prison Star world, he had suddenly made two.

"I understand your feelings, but this is a task I must undertake myself. After all, I was the only one who successfully passed Sheryl's ten-second challenge, wasn't I? You must believe in my abilities."

Tyler couldn't possibly let his friends risk their lives for a decision he had made.

Moreover, since he had agreed to Sheryl's request, that meant he had the corresponding confidence.

With eight days left before the raid on the "Aqua Nest", Tyler was confident that he could elevate his abilities another notch during this time.

.

After Tyler had spoken, Garvit and Heloise still argued for a while, but in the end, they were persuaded by him.

Meanwhile, Vanessa had been watching Tyler thoughtfully. When everyone fell silent, she asked Tyler a question.

"Lord Felix, I hope you won't take offense if I'm wrong... but did Sheryl use her beauty to seduce you, and that's why you agreed to her request?"

Vanessa's question caused Tyler, who had been drinking water, to spray it out.

"There's no such thing. Why would you ask that?"

Tyler didn't expect that he would have such a lecherous image in Vanessa's heart.

"Uh... because not only is Sheryl beautiful, but her figure is also quite, ahem, stunning... If I were a man, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist..."

While Vanessa was saying this, she glanced at Heleise from time to time. She speculated that Lord Felix and Heloise must have had an "intimate" relationship.

"Don't worry, Vanessa...", Tyler sighed with a wry smile, trying to make her understand that he wouldn't be seduced by a beautiful woman.

"Although Sheryl is indeed beautiful, in my view, you and Heloise are not inferior to her."

Tyler's intention in saying this was to express that he was not an ignorant man without experience, who would be seduced by Sheryl's beauty, but after he said this, the atmosphere at the scene became oddly awkward.

Heloise blushed and looked down at her fingers, while Vanessa looked away embarrassedly.

Garvit was very sensible, he quietly left the room, and even remembered to close the door.
