The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 452: trap

Even for a moment, Sean Dickinson never trusted the King-level explorer in front of him.

The so-called alliance is just the "naivety" deliberately played out by Sean.

He knew from the beginning that as long as the guards of the Kingdom of God agreed to form an alliance, he would definitely rebel.

Because Sean knew that the other party was not only an "absolute egoist", but also, as the guard himself said, a "risk averse".

Rather than risking a 30% risk of destruction to besiege and kill Peter Pan, he is more likely to choose to kill other explorers and win the final prize.

Those who are risk-averse will only sit back and receive absolute stable returns, and will not bet on their own life and death for additional gains.

With this premise in place, Sean tentatively proposed an invitation to join the crusade against the Peter Pan Alliance.

If he refuses, the situation will become clear, and it will become tricky - because it means they will have a head-to-head elimination battle with the Guards before challenging Peter Pan.

However, the guards of the Kingdom of God, who are obviously "risk-averse", have used their brains here—

He wanted to pretend to join the alliance, and then use a sneak attack to win an absolute "pocket-safe" victory.

"Obviously, we can't conclude a temporary covenant of explorers here."

When these words were uttered from the guards of the Kingdom of God, Sean already knew that his plan had basically taken shape.

Because the other party is testing, wanting to know if he is really that naive.

Perhaps, during the implementation of the plan, he also had doubts about Xiao En's motives for inviting him.

However, the absolute power advantage gave him excess self-confidence.

He believes that even if Sean has some bad ideas, he still has the ability to avoid risks.

It's just that he didn't expect that Sean designed a serial trap with "human nature" as his "organ".

After agreeing to meet in the promenade on the first floor, Xiao En's team rushed towards the gate, and the captain personally followed behind.

The design inspiration for this situation comes from the memory of the "slanderous minister" - the mystery seeker was attacked behind his back.

Fully showing the backside in front of the temporary allies, this act of "excessive trust" allowed the guards of the Kingdom of God to see the opportunity to "minimize the risk".

So he raised his weapon and stabbed Sean in the back.

And he didn't know that there was a spiritual layer of perception reserved on Sean's back, no matter what the weapon was, no matter which part of his back he wanted to attack, he would hit one thing—

A steel lighter engraved with "The Crucifixion of Joshua".

The belief in Salvationism determines that before becoming a high-level priesthood, believers cannot destroy any objects that contain serious teachings and have been "sanctified".

And once such a move is made, they will be punished by "temporarily weakening their own divine power".

That's why the guard felt his power plummet.

Sean sacrificed a D-level mysterious heritage in exchange for weakening the guards of the Kingdom of God.

However, this is only the first layer of the trap.

After being attacked, Sean suffered a "fatal wound" in the eyes of other explorers——

The spear pierced his back, pierced his chest...

Then, he bled profusely, his breath weakened, and even his soul gradually dried up.

He "acts" well.

However, the fact is that for Sean, who has the characteristic of "immortality and immortality", such a penetrating injury is far from "fatal".

Then, it's time to "evacuate teammates" and "desperately weaken" the opponent's drama.

Sean also did a good job. He fully interpreted the image of a "tragic" captain who stayed behind in order to preserve the strength of the team, and successfully bound the guard of the Kingdom of God with psychic matter, causing him to be infected by black fungus.

Even though he had just obtained the permission of the deity, Sean never expected to use the divine feather of the "Hessian Sheep" to directly solve a King class.

His purpose in doing this is to achieve a "situation to test human nature"—

Behind the guards of the Kingdom of God, stood his two teammates, and these two teammates found that their captain's strength had dropped suddenly, and they were in a huge crisis...

The key at this time is, in this case, in their eyes, what are the guards of the Kingdom of God?

If it is still their "captain", then there is no doubt that the two players will immediately lend a helping hand.

However, what if they regard the captain as their "potential competitor"?

When Sean was planning all this, he remembered the moment when Peter Pan explained that conflicts within the team would not be stopped, the way the magician looked at the captain.

It was that look that made Xiao En sure that there was something to be done behind the guards of the Kingdom of God.

It all seems complicated, but it's actually pretty clear:

For a captain who is "good at calculating", his team members must also be "good at calculating".

A captain who is "absolutely self-interested", so must his team members...

A captain who stabs his allies in the back may not be so safe behind him.

Therefore, by substituting the state of mind of the two team members, one can imagine that, even for just a moment, they may have suspected at what price their captain would kill themselves.

And once there is such a thinking environment, everything will change——

The stability within the team is all supported by the captain's "powerful deterrence".

At that moment of "testing human nature", from the perspective of "Clockwork Pavilion Master" and "Dreamcaster", the thing is like this: the strongest Queen class present has just been solved by a King class

And that King-level "potential competitor" was severely weakened and fell into a major crisis,

Then, after solving the biggest threat in front of them, what they have to face is only four Queens who are weaker than themselves...

They could almost see the tens of thousands of New Zealand banknotes in front of them.

Therefore, when Sean created a "situation to test human nature", what he was waiting for was a blow from behind the guard.

Regarding whether the magician and dreamcaster will do it, of course it is a link with a lot of variables.

However, Sean didn't have much doubt—

He understands human nature too well.

I understand that all this is a bit "boring".

When he saw the guards of the Kingdom of God being attacked by the magician, he still pretended to be "near death", with an "unexpected" expression on his face.

"Backstabbing others is backstabbing yourself."

Unbreakable truth.

However, he was not interested in teaching the poor man in front of him.

Looking at the worrisome guard of the Kingdom of God, he felt very sorry for this King-level...

Feeling a little disappointed ~lightnovelpub.net~ This plan would have been smoother, Sean could sit back and watch the King-level squad break up and fight to the death, and then reap the harvest at the last moment.

Reluctantly, the dreamcaster discovered the clue and realized that everything was a trap...

The originally collapsed unity was reunited due to external threats—

The three of them faced Sean Dickinson like an enemy.

Although the plan didn't go all the way to the ideal state, the greatest threat has been weakened a lot...

Nothing to complain about.

However, Sean wasn't overly complacent about it—he clearly remembered that the other party had an extra-standard method.

Obviously, the guards of the Kingdom of God realized that they were already at a disadvantage. He took out the pan flute that Peter Pan had given him, put it near his mouth and played it.
