Chapter 44: Weird Alien

"I do have a question, Taoist Huang."

Li Muhan slowly raised his hand.

"This isn't a school. If you want to speak, just say it."

Huang Zizai was shaking his legs impatiently. He couldn't even maintain his immortal image for ten minutes, and now he looked like an old gambler.

"I heard from Director Lin that something happened to one of your alien team members, so they asked me to fill in. I'd like to ask, was it injured in the battle?"

After hearing what Li Muhan said, several people looked at each other, and finally Yue Linglong rushed to speak.

"I'll answer, I'll answer!"

"You're not answering shit! And raise your hand before you speak!"

Huang Zizai slapped the little girl on the back of the head again. Li Muhan couldn't help but sigh, this master is really double-standard...

"Amitabha, Mr. Li, are you asking this question because you're worried the mission is too dangerous?"

"Honestly, yes. After all, I don't really understand anything about the supernatural. You should also know that I am a Chaos-level alien, and I am not very strong."

Huang Zizai sneered, picked up the teacup beside him, drank it all, and then spoke in a deliberately sarcastic tone.

"I thought I was so awesome. I was treated like a treasure by the headquarters and even given the position of captain, but I turned out to be such a coward."

Li Muhan was not angry either. What he was best at was observing people's words and expressions. Regardless of whether this Taoist Huang had any ability or not, his personality seemed to be carefree, giving him the feeling of a naughty old boy.

"Amitabha, let me say it."

Zhong Ya interrupted as if to smooth things over.

"Master Li, your concerns are not without reason. To be honest, one of our alien team members is indeed injured."

Li Muhan suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple.

Since he was able to hurt the aliens of the Supernatural Management Department's ace troops, this is a big trouble. Can it be solved by just one support?

But the monk immediately added another sentence.

"But it's not because of the mission, but some other, very complicated reasons. Amitabha..."

Now Li Muhan was a little confused.

Before he could think about it, the foreign girl Sasha took over the conversation.

"Actually, I've only been here at the Huaxia Special Management Bureau for about half a year, and I'm here to help the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau resolve this incident."

Sasha smiled and said that she was affiliated with the Eastern European Special Management Bureau and came here as a foreign supporter specifically for this matter.

"I'm ashamed that I'm not skilled enough to help Team Nine resolve this matter."

"What on earth could be so troublesome?"

Li Muhan also became more and more curious.

Finally, Huang Zizai snorted coldly.

"Hmph, it's just a sinister and cunning alien. It's lurking in an ancient building, holding souls hostage to prevent us from taking any action."

"Savin Sha has helped us locate the alien. We have conducted three operations in total, but were forced to retreat each time due to too many living souls."

"...Master, you can just call me Sasha."

"Okay, Master Sha."

“…”

"Is the living soul so powerful?"

Li Muhan asked.

Huang Zizai sneered disdainfully.

"Hmph, those who practice Taoism fight against demons and defend the Way, but those living souls are the souls of innocent people. If we really take action, I'm afraid those souls will be shattered. That's why we haven't been able to capture the alien in the ancient tower for a long time."

It seems that this is the dilemma that Team 9 is currently facing.

So that’s how it is. Li Muhan also understood.

In addition to the ghosts and monsters occupying the ancient building, there is also an extremely difficult alien. The alien uses the souls of the living as hostages to force the Ninth Team to be unable to launch a forceful attack.

"Let me be clear first. I'm only a Chaos-level alien right now, so I don't have the confidence that I can be of much help to your operation."

This is not modesty. Li Muhan is very clear about his current strength. If he were to face a narrow country at the level of Cholera, he would not be sure of winning. He could not even die with him like Huo Tian did.

"Don't worry, we will contain those living souls. You have only one goal, and that is to rush straight to the top of the ancient building and deal with that alien creature."

Huang Zizai continued.

"I have one last question."

Li Muhan glanced at everyone and said.

"Is your alien so badly injured? Can't we let her attack with me? That way our chances of victory will be better."

When everyone heard Li Muhan say this, they fell silent.

"...Well, he's seriously injured."

Sasha said with a wry smile, looking away.

"Very badly hurt, um..."

Master Zhongya clasped his hands together and lowered his head slightly.

"Is Sister Chiyuan injured? How come I didn't know... Ugh!"

Poor Yue Linglong seemed to get slapped on the head every time she spoke.

Huang Zizai held his apprentice's head and said to Li Muhan.

"Alright, to let you know we're not kidding you, let's go and see for ourselves."

So Li Muhan followed a few people to a room at the end of the Taoist temple's side building.

This room is very cute. The pink paint makes the door look very girly, and there is a very famous toy doll hanging on it.

The little doll held up a sign that said Do Not Disturb.

"this......"

Li Muhan looked at the door and found it hard to imagine what kind of alien lived inside.

"In short, she was really badly injured."

Huang Zizai patted Li Muhan on the shoulder.

"If you don't believe it...you can go in and see for yourself."

Should I go in?

Li Muhan hesitated, but finally he decided to go in. If he could convince this alien named Chi Yuan to fight with him, his chances of winning would increase a lot.

Swallowing his saliva, Li Muhan slowly raised his hand. The moment he touched the door, he felt a terrible pressure, as if something was warning him not to come in.

Li Muhan turned around and looked at a few people again.

Everyone turned their eyes away, and Sasha even sighed to herself.

"...I decided to go in and take a look. After all, the mission is more important."

In fact, the dog's life is more important. If someone fights alongside you, wouldn't it be more effective?

"Well... go ahead."

Huang Zizai nodded and finally patted Li Muhan on the shoulder.

Li Muhan's hand touched the door handle, and then he turned it, and with a click, the door opened.

Watching Li Muhan's figure gradually being swallowed by the darkness in the room, until the door closed with a click.

Puff.

Sasha was the first one who couldn't help herself, and then everyone else, except Yue Linglong, even the big monk, broke into a smile.

"Amitabha... Hahahaha... Donor Li, you really went to find Chi Yuan."

"Oh, now we're going to have a good show."

"The bets are placed."

Huang Zizai rolled up his sleeves and took out a few hundred-dollar bills.

"I bet this kid won't last five minutes."

"Amitabha, ten minutes."

"Then... I'll just bet for thirty minutes."

Yue Linglong blinked her big eyes and looked at the three of them, then raised her hand and said.

"I think Brother Li Muhan can bring Sister Chiyuan out."

"Yo yo yo, you're so young and you're about to lose money, hehehehe, my little apprentice will pay for tonight's consumption hehehehe."

At this moment, Li Muhan in the darkness focused his eyes on the front.

In the center of the room, there is a sofa, and in front of the sofa is a TV.

A slender figure was curled up on the sofa, staring at the content on TV.

Li Muhan walked closer and found that what was playing on TV was a very famous Japanese drama that would make anyone who watched it burst into tears.

"...Um, hello?"

Li Muhan tried to greet the figure on the sofa.

The figure trembled when she heard Li Muhan's voice, and then she slowly turned around.

Li Muhan took a breath of cold air.

What he saw was a delicate face that was definitely not inferior to Xia Yue's. Moreover, there were tears in the corners of the eyes and slightly red cheeks, and it was obvious that she was crying.

This made Li Muhan think of an ancient poem.

"The jade-like face is lonely and the tears are dry, the pear blossoms are wet with spring rain."
