Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

"Found it! This is the real scepter of the mind!" Yan Ziwen shouted excitedly.

Shi Qi immediately used his consciousness to confirm with Lin Yi: "Yi Yi, is this true?"

Lin Yi's voice rang out in Shi Qi's consciousness, "It's fake. The 'Mind Scepter' is not here. I don't sense any magic here, or I should say that everything here has no power at all."

Han Lin said: "Then let's go get it!"

However, just as they were about to step forward and pick up the Mind Scepter, a deep laugh echoed in the palace. A man in a black robe with a sinister face walked out of the shadows. It was the 'mastermind' they had been looking for!

"You finally found this place, but unfortunately, the Scepter of Mind is mine." The 'Mastermind' sneered.

Han Lin said: "What you say is yours, it is yours, it is right here, see if you can take it away."

Shi Qi stared closely at the mastermind in front of him, secretly on guard in his heart, and quickly communicated with Lin Yi with his consciousness: "Yi Yi, what should we do now? We have been discovered."

Lin Yi's voice quickly rang out in Shi Qi's consciousness: "If he finds out, he won't remember you anyway."

Shi Qi said helplessly: "He won't remember me, but that doesn't mean he won't remember Yan Ziwen and Han Lin!"

Lin Yi asked: "What should we do? Kill him?"

Shi Qi said: "I can't attack anyone here at will until others don't attack me."

Lin Yida said: "But... I've never seen you do this before."

Shi Qi said: "Of course it depends on my mood."

The mastermind said firmly, "I can definitely take it away."

Han Lin replied: "Then take it, I won't stop you."

Just when the atmosphere was tense and almost frozen, the mastermind suddenly changed the subject, and a strange smile appeared on his sinister face: "But I can give you a chance."

"Oh? What opportunity?" Han Lin raised his eyebrows and asked vigilantly.

The mastermind slowly walked to the throne, and gently stroked the Mind Scepter with his fingers, as if he was admiring a precious work of art. "As long as you can answer the three questions I asked and satisfy me, I will let you leave with the Mind Scepter. How about that?"

Han Lin asked in surprise, "No way! I don't even want this, but you forced it on me."

Shi Qi gently pulled Han Lin's sleeve, signaling him to stay calm, while her eyes were fixed on the mastermind, trying to catch a glimpse of flaws from his expression. She gently and firmly communicated with Lin Yi with her consciousness: "Yi Yi, we need your wisdom to help us analyze what these three problems might be and how to deal with them."

Lin Yi's voice echoed in Shi Qi's heart, with a hint of helplessness but still calm: "I can't predict his questions, but remember, stay calm and use your wisdom and intuition to answer. Remember, truth often touches people's hearts more than skills."

The mastermind smiled playfully and began to slowly ask the first question: "The first question - what is true power?"

Yan Ziwen frowned, as if thinking about a profound philosophical question. Shi Qi's heart was moved, and she had the ability to draw strength from the human heart. She spoke slowly, her voice clear and firm: "True power does not lie in conquering or controlling, but in being able to listen and understand, touch people's hearts, and give hope and courage. In other words, I believe that faith is power."

The mastermind's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was quite surprised by Shi Qi's answer, but he did not express his opinion immediately, but continued: "Second question - in this endless pursuit, why don't you give up?"

Han Lin snorted coldly, took a step forward, and looked at him with a sharp gaze: "Why give up? The unknown answer still has hope. Give up? Then there will be nothing."

The mastermind nodded slightly, seeming to acknowledge Han Lin's determination, but then changed the subject again: "One last question - if sacrifice is the price you must pay, are you willing to sacrifice the most important thing for your goal?"

As soon as this question came out, the expressions of the three people became solemn. Shi Qi felt mixed emotions in her heart. She knew that her existence itself was a balance between sacrifice and gain. She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Everyone has the most precious thing in their heart, but for me, I want to be selfish and not sacrifice my most important thing. I will try my best to find another way. 'There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and one is hidden'. Just take it one step at a time. No one knows which will happen first, tomorrow or an accident."

After hearing Shi Qi's answer, the mastermind behind the scenes curled up a meaningful smile. He slowly walked up to the three people and swept his eyes over them one by one, as if evaluating their worth.

"Your answers are all different," he said calmly, tapping the shaft of the Mind Scepter with his fingers, making a crisp sound. "But the real answer is not important. What's important is that you have demonstrated your own beliefs and determination."

Yan Ziwen, Shi Qi and Han Lin looked at each other, feeling an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"But I still want to congratulate you." The mastermind suddenly changed the subject, with a hint of joking in his tone, "Because you have passed my test."

The three of them were stunned. Before they could react, they saw the mastermind behind the scenes gently waved the scepter of mind in his hand. A dazzling light shot out from the scepter, instantly illuminating the entire palace.

"The Mind Scepter is actually just a bait." He smiled and said, "What I really want is to see what choices you so-called 'heroes' will make when faced with temptation and trials."

Shi Qi was startled and immediately communicated with Lin Yi through his consciousness: "Yi Yi, is he playing a trick on us?"

Lin Yi's voice echoed in Shi Qi's heart, with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Humph, I knew he wasn't that kind. But now that we're here, let's see what he wants to do."

The mastermind smiled and continued, "However, you don't have to worry too much. As long as you are willing to become my 'partners' and pursue higher powers together, not only will I not harm you, but I will also grant you powerful strength."

Yan Ziwen frowned and refused without hesitation: "We don't need your power, nor do we want to be your 'partners'. We just want to find the real Mind Scepter and leave here."

"Oh?" The mastermind behind the scenes didn't seem surprised by Yan Ziwen's refusal. He smiled and said, "Then you better think it through. In this world, power is everything. Without power, you can't protect anything."

Han Lin snorted coldly, took a step forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Yan Ziwen: "We don't need your strength to prove our worth. We have our beliefs and determination, and that's enough."

The mastermind looked at the two determined young men in front of him, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes. But he quickly regained his composure and said calmly: "Since you are so persistent, I will grant your wish."

As he spoke, he gently waved the Mind Scepter in his hand, and a powerful magical energy surged out of the scepter and attacked the three people.

Shi Qi's heart tightened, and he immediately took up defense, while communicating with Lin Yi with his consciousness: "Yi Yi, think of a solution quickly!"

Lin Yi's voice echoed in Shi Qi's sea of ​​consciousness, with a hint of urgency: "Quick! Release your mental power and use the faith in your hearts to fight against his magic!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qi immediately informed Yan Ziwen and Han Lin. The three of them closed their eyes at the same time and began to gather strength with the faith in their hearts.

As faith exploded, the light on the three people became brighter and brighter, and finally converged into a dazzling beam of light, colliding with the magical energy of the mastermind behind the scenes.

In this fierce energy collision, the objects in the palace began to shatter one after another, and the entire palace seemed to be collapsing. However, the three people did not waver, their hearts became more and more determined, and finally they completely defeated the magic energy of the mastermind behind the scenes.

When the light faded, the three opened their eyes and saw that the mastermind had disappeared, leaving only a faint black shadow. The real scepter of the mind lay quietly on the throne, emitting a soft light.

"We succeeded!" Yan Ziwen shouted excitedly.

Shi Qi and Han Lin also smiled. They smiled at each other, then walked towards the throne together and picked up the Scepter of the Mind.

"Next, we can leave this damn place." Han Lin said.
