Chapter 32 Pressure
Inside the Northland Bank, a team of Qianyan soldiers were searching slowly, carefully searching one room three or four times before searching the next room. The key was to take things slow.
After all, their order was to prevent Northland Bank from operating normally.
If these Winter Solstice people were ruthless enough to directly hand over the wanted Fatui, they could also take this opportunity to check the fire safety, tax situation, etc. of the Northland Bank.
Faced with this situation, Andre had a headache. If it was a business war, he could still find a way to use dirty tricks, but facing the Qianyan Army, there was really nothing he could do. There were people watching from above, and if he dared to act recklessly, it would only give others a better excuse to act.
He could only bear with it for now, planning to wait for the executive officer to come and solve the problem, and then hold Liyue accountable through diplomatic means.
Bang-!
At this moment, Liu Bai kicked open the door of Northland Bank.
"Who dares to act recklessly in my Northland Bank? Are you tired of living?"
Kicking the door open, Liu Bai spoke out the lines he had been brewing for a long time along the way.
"Master Wangzhe! You are finally here!"
"But you kicked your own door!"
The receptionist Ekaterina hurriedly came over excitedly, and couldn't help but complain in her heart, but she held it in her heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Well, I'll take care of everything, don't worry."
Liu Bai patted Ekaterina on the shoulder, then took Nashida by the hand and walked towards the Thousand Rock Army that was searching the house.
"Lord Laerchi..."
Looking at Liu Bai's back and his reassuring words, Ekaterina's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
As for the Qianyan Army guarding outside the Northland Bank... they were just standing there in a daze.
[Specified as "Deal with the Thousand Rocks Army"]
As the skill effect is activated, the Qianyan Army in the Northland Bank will no longer have the idea of resisting Liu Bai.
Because the designated target was so wide, even if they asked for help from other Thousand Rock Army teams in Liyue, no one could come.
Om-!
With the sound of a sword, Liu Bai, who had entered a state of "no mind and no self", released his power without concealment.
This kind of pressure is irresistible to ordinary people, especially those holding sharp weapons. The weapons in their hands may even vibrate more violently than their own reactions.
In a blink of an eye, the Qianyan Army fell to the ground, unable to move, pinned to the ground by the invisible force.
"...?"
Not only the Qianyan Army, but also the Fatui in the Northern Bank received the same treatment. Ekaterina was originally looking at Liu Bai with adoring eyes, but the next second she was crushed to the ground by the pressure and couldn't get up.
"I can't move... My bones feel like they're about to be crushed... Is this the power of an executive officer?!"
Ekaterina looked up at Liu Bai in shock, enduring the pain.
"Humph, if you want to stop Brother Fu from making money, forget it even if Morax comes today!"
Liu Bai snorted coldly as he looked at the Qianyan soldiers who were pinned to the ground. The five flying swords around him also emitted crisp sword sounds. The sound of the swords was so loud that it made everyone's ears ring and they felt dizzy.
Pantalone was one of the people who treated him the best in Zhidong. Although he was not the best one, he was definitely at the top. After all, he really spent his money on himself!
Just don't ask for too much at once...
"How dare he start a war in the city... No! We must stop him! We can't let him kill those Thousand Rocks!"
Near the Northland Bank, Keqing, who was observing secretly, got too close and was affected by the pressure. Even with the Eye of God, it became very difficult for her to move.
However, she still had the ability to move. But when she wanted to go in and stop Liu Bai, she found that she couldn't do it. Her body couldn't move at all...
"Wait, don't continue to strengthen it... It will cause death..."
Nashida, who was holding one hand, also felt something was wrong and tried to remind Liu Bai, but she found that she couldn't say anything...
Since Liu Bai had designated the task of "dealing with the Thousand Rocks Army", neither Nashida nor Keqing could speak or get close to stop Liu Bai at this time. After all, he was now dealing with the Thousand Rocks Army that was hindering the operation of the Northern Bank.
"Can't stop it? It's like this again... My body and brain are normal, but I just can't do this. I can't even say something like this. It's so strange."
"No... His pressure is still increasing! If this continues, ordinary people's bones will not be able to bear it!"
Nashida held one of Liu Bai's hands, but was too anxious to do anything to stop Liu Bai.
"If we can't stop him...what if we let him stop on his own initiative?"
"My body can move... Does this behavior count as stopping him..."
Nashida thought anxiously, and then immediately began to experiment, trying to find out the limitations of Liu Bai's ability.
Nashida raised her hand and tried to put it close to Liu Bai's nose.
But the next moment she found that her body was unable to take the next step, and due to the height difference, her raised hand did not even enter Liu Bai's field of vision.
'Isn't it okay to attract attention like this?'
"Maybe it's too direct... maybe I should use an indirect method..."
Nashida was thinking quickly, and many plans were rejected the moment they were decided because her body could not move in that way.
"Does it mean... that if we don't harm the interests of his current actions, it doesn't count as stopping it..."
Nashida thought very quickly, and only a moment had passed, but she was able to roughly judge the limitations of Liu Bai's ability.
"I see. So I have to make amends in a way that benefits him..."
'It will be good for him... and distract him... and it won't be done to stop him...'
Thinking of this, Nashida no longer tried to stop Liu Bai, but made up her mind. Some elemental power took root in the floor tiles and turned into vines to lift Nashida's body into the air.
"noob……"
Nashida's face flushed slightly. She leaned close to Liu Bai's ear and whispered softly in a gentle voice, then leaned forward and kissed Liu Bai's face lightly on the lips.
pat-
The five flying swords lost control and fell to the ground in an instant. Liu Bai's aura quickly disappeared. He raised his hand in a daze and touched the cheek that was kissed by Nashida.
As the pressure dissipated, the Thousand Rocks Army and the Fatui, who were pinned to the ground and unable to move, began to howl in pain. They had just been pinned down so hard that they couldn't even breathe or scream, and now their bones were clearly in pain.
Coupled with the intermittent humming of the five flying swords, their heads kept buzzing and it was difficult for them to think normally.
"Girl, you..."
Liu Bai stared blankly at Nashida who was covering her face with a round fan.
"…It's all your fault. The pressure you gave me just now almost resulted in a death."
Shy Nashida covered her face and spoke to Liu Bai in a coquettish tone.
“Pressure…?”
Liu Bai came back to his senses and looked at the people on the ground who were having difficulty even getting up.
Only those disguised debt handlers are in better condition.
"Strange, how come my sword pressure has become so strong..."
Liu Bai touched his chin and thought doubtfully. He didn't remember that his pressure was so strong that it could crush people to death. The last time he used it at Northland Bank, he only intimidated a few debt handlers.
"Oh yeah, I increased it to thirteen last night!"
After thinking for a while, Liu Bai suddenly remembered this.
Compared with +13, +12 doubles the attribute multiplier.
The most important thing is that the increase in a person's own attributes is far from as simple as 1+1.
For example, running 100 meters in 12 seconds is a very common result that ordinary humans who have been trained can easily achieve.
But when the speed is doubled, it becomes 100 seconds to run 6 meters. This result is something that ordinary people can never achieve in their lifetime, and usually requires the eyes of God to reach it.
This is why Liu Bai's pressure increased so much.
