Chapter 020: Utterly Heartbroken

She had thought that with the power of a witch, she could stop Himiko, but now it seemed she was utterly powerless to do so.

Wang Bo said, "Don't worry about that. I still have a way."

"What way?"

"Don't forget, the Yamatai Kingdom of the two worlds will exchange with each other," Wang Bo said. "I'm not entirely sure when the exchange will happen, but it should be within these few days, no more than a month."

Because in a month, Himiko would have already arrived in this world.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing clapped her hands and said, "I understand what you mean. You plan to stay here and wait until the time comes when the two Yamatai Kingdoms exchange. Then we can follow the Yamatai Kingdom into another parallel world, which is Lara's original world."

Lara immediately caught on, "Then we can use the Moonlight Box to go back in time to before Himiko possessed Samantha and stop her."

Because the Moonlight Box could only take people through time, not across worlds, so this plan was sound.

Himiko clearly heard Wang Bo and his group's plan, and she was furious beyond measure. She rebuked, "Do you hate me so much that you want to kill me? I only want to survive—what's wrong with that?"

Lara said, "Everyone wants to survive; there's nothing wrong with that. But you killed too many innocent people to survive—that is wrong."

Himiko stared at Lara and suddenly let out a piercing, mournful laugh. "I will curse you. I will curse you with my death, Lara Croft, you—"

Hearing this, Wang Bo's heart skipped a beat, and he acted instinctively.

He knew very well that if someone like Himiko cursed Lara with her life, even Lara, a witch, might not be able to withstand it.

So before Himiko could finish her curse, Wang Bo flicked out a Nine Yang Sword Qi.

Puchi!

The sharp, skinless sword qi instantly pierced through Himiko's throat, stopping her curse.

Himiko looked at Wang Bo, her eyes filled with venom. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end, nothing came out, and she breathed her last unwillingly.

But Wang Bo knew well that for someone like Himiko, the death of the body did not necessarily mean true death.

But that didn't matter—he still had his Authority!

The Prison of Death's Servants instantly enveloped Himiko, turning her into his death servant. With her power, she naturally could not resist the might of this Authority, and she ultimately became Wang Bo's death servant.

Lara looked at the fallen Himiko, her emotions incredibly complex. Because this was her body, seeing Himiko die felt like witnessing her own death.

Wang Bo also felt a mix of emotions seeing Himiko die.

This was his second time killing someone.

The first person he killed was Cihang Pudu. At that time, Wang Bo saw the man eating people, his eyes turned red, and without a second thought, he struck and killed Cihang Pudu.

Later, Wang Bo regretted it.

He should have beaten the man half to death, crippled his cultivation, instead of killing him outright. That way, he could not only vent his anger but also send Cihang Pudu back to his original world and earn a chance to draw a prize.

But Wang Bo, hot-headed at the time, killed him directly, wasting a chance to draw.

And this time, seeing Himiko about to curse Lara, Wang Bo instinctively struck and killed Himiko.

As a result, he lost another chance to draw.

To be honest, Wang Bo was utterly heartbroken.

Every draw was extremely precious to Wang Bo.

It was the same last time, and it was the same this time.

Looking at the dead Himiko, Wang Bo couldn't help but sigh. He had been impulsive again, losing another draw opportunity. Honestly, Wang Bo's heart ached so much he could barely stand it.

But when he looked at Lara, his eyes suddenly lit up.

That's right, Himiko was dead, but Lara was still here.

"Lara, I'll send you back now." Wang Bo grabbed Lara. "You're not from this world. After I send you back, you can return to your original world. Maybe when you get back, it will be exactly the time when Samantha is being sacrificed to Himiko, and then you can stop Himiko."

With Lara's current strength, stopping Himiko should be no problem.

Lara's eyes lit up at this. What he said made sense—if she went back now, she might indeed be able to stop Himiko.

"Then I'll trouble you, Wang Bo," Lara said. "I really don't know how to thank you."

"Don't mention it. We're friends." With that, Wang Bo immediately contacted the Artifact and had it send Lara away.

The next second, Lara vanished from before his eyes.

[Congratulations! You have sent away a time-traveler and earned a chance to draw a prize.]

Wang Bo chuckled.

His guess was right—after Lara returned, he really did get a draw. But it was a pity that Himiko was dead, so he couldn't get a second draw.

However, Wang Bo couldn't leave yet. He had to wait here for the exchange of the two Yamatai Kingdoms, then enter the other world to see if Lara had saved her friends.

If not, Wang Bo would have to use the Moonlight Box to go back in time and save Lara's friends.

Wait, at that moment, Wang Bo's mind suddenly opened up.

He thought of something very important.

Soon, the two Yamatai Kingdoms would exchange.

Then, Wang Bo would arrive in another Tomb Raider world.

If Wang Bo grabbed a large number of people from this world and brought them into the Yamatai Kingdom, when the two Yamatai Kingdoms exchanged, these people would follow the Yamatai Kingdom into the other world.

Thus, these people would all become time-travelers.

Then Wang Bo could send them home. For each person he sent away, he would get a chance to draw.

Thinking of this, Wang Bo's heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

Given the size of the Yamatai Kingdom island, it could hold tens of thousands of people. If Wang Bo captured tens of thousands, wouldn't he have tens of thousands of draw opportunities?

Tens of thousands of times! If Wang Bo had tens of thousands of draws, wouldn't he be rich? He could rise to the top in one step, rival gods, even surpass them—he would basically have everything.

For a moment, Wang Bo could hardly contain his impulse to start capturing people.

But soon, Wang Bo calmed down.

Undoubtedly, this was a loophole. If he used it to farm draws, he didn't know if his external cheat Artifact would acknowledge it as valid.
