Chapter 049: Pre-set Trap
Rustle——
The wind was blowing, and purple spots of light were scattered in the thick fog.
A pair of dark green skeletons emerged from the fog, wrapped in layers of flesh and blood, forming fingers with distinct joints.
Click.
"It's really not easy to contact you."
Sinaya gathered up the damaged core and swallowed it.
Chen Xiao'er was still as cunning as ever. Even when surrounded by humans, she still cut off the connection between me and her immediately.
This guy is really cautious. If the link established by the Death Mark was not very stable, she might have escaped.
The swirling light mist quietly parted, and a tall girl walked out.
Her dazzling golden curls swayed in the wind. Sinaya raised her fingers, and her long nails scratched her lips hard, spilling out a little bright red energy.
"I won't let you go, Chen Xiao'er."
She licked her lips, her eyes and tongue filled with pure evil.
Next...it's time to deal with the ambush.
Xinnaya summed up her last failure experience. It was entirely because humans had made preparations in advance that she accidentally fell into the trap.
There's nothing I can do. After all, this is humankind's home turf. I was really careless.
But this time it's different, after all, it's information provided by fellow tribesmen - although I can't fully believe it, after all, they're fellow tribesmen, and while they're setting traps for themselves, they won't be overly biased towards humans. So I'll just have to be cautious based on the level of [fair harm].
Xinnaya checked the new cracks on the light mist's body and didn't take it seriously: being able to avoid the protection set up by humans and only causing a crack in the wound was a great success.
She didn't trigger a single alarm along the way and even cracked one or two, which is really commendable.
The devil proudly manipulated the zombies to continue exploring the area, and raised the corner of his lips slightly: Sure enough, the more familiar I am with humans, the less likely I am to be harmed by them.
Now there is only one problem left, the specific location given by my fellow tribesmen is a bit vague.
Even with a time difference of nearly half a month, with this cautious exploration efficiency, it would be difficult for her to lock on the specific location where Chen Xiao'er [will definitely arrive] within the time limit and set a trap in advance.
Ultimately, it was because my fellow tribesman was too stingy. She didn't tell me anything extra and really only gave me an address.
No, I must know everything and arrange everything before Chen Xiao'er arrives!
She closed her eyes and sank her head into the light mist, allowing her consciousness to spread throughout the space - humans, I need humans, I need them to betray each other and tell me information about [Chen Xiao'er].
…
Tick, tick, tick...
"It's raining?" The hairy young man raised his head, but was quickly pressed down by a hand.
"Lie down." The pink-haired man pinned his companion's head tightly, locking him in his arms. A layer of pale blue light suddenly flashed, isolating the overwhelming "raindrops" from entering.
The young man was about to say something when he closed his mouth with a pale face.
He saw a flash of lightning streak across the sky and fall down with a loud bang.
Boom!
The purple lightning struck a mountain top hard, instantly flattening a layer of the mountain.
“…Gulp.” The young man swallowed his saliva, his pupils vibrating violently.
A few minutes later, the pink-haired man finally spoke indifferently, "Those cultists are in big trouble."
"Is... is this the work of the Church of Light? Did they discover that the information, grunt, was leaked?"
"No." The pink-haired man loosened his grip, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it: "It's pure bad luck, huh—"
…
Crash——
Two figures, a man and a woman in protective suits, fell into the valley.
They rolled up almost immediately, pulled out their weapons from their waists and legs, and took a alert posture.
Rustle, rustle.
Two tentacles emerged from the mist, both locking onto the woman who had jumped to the right.
Whoosh, whoosh.
The tentacles swung hard, wrapped around the woman's neck and threw her high into the air.
"Gu," the woman wanted to cover her neck, but her hands and feet were suspended in the air and she had no strength at all.
She suffocated in the struggle, her eyes fixed on the light surging in the mist.
Click.
A high-heeled boot stepped out of the fog.
Click.
The other slender leg then came together, revealing the devil's powerful body.
Xinaya narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint in them.
This person... has long black hair, and even his figure is a bit like Chen Xiao'er. It really makes me - unhappy!
The tentacles sensed the heated emotions and twisted and spun in mid-air.
With a snap, the woman suspended in the air twisted 360 degrees like a puppet, and her head and spine slid to the side with a loud noise.
“Ali——”
The man let out a desperate roar, and the next second, the tentacles rustled around his body and pierced his heart.
Xinnaya walked over indifferently: "One is enough. Tell me your plan."
"How can, ah,..."
The man trembled all over, blood oozing from his wounds. He tried to resist the abnormal erosion with his willpower, but all his struggles were in vain.
The tentacles penetrated deep into the heart, forcefully piercing the spirit body and taking over the body's control center.
"I, we... I am an elite member of the Devouring Snake Sect."
He stared with wide eyes, unwillingly watching his tongue spit out the words hidden in his mind.
Damn it, this demon hasn't wiped out my consciousness yet, what does it want to do to me?!
Xinnaya doesn't care about men's mentality of preferring death, she doesn't care what humans think at all.
"Tell me something useful. Do you know Chen Xiao'er?"
"Know……"
"oh?"
The devil's pupils erected, and he smiled a dangerous smile: "Is she from your organization?"
"So it's from the Saint's side."
"Hmph, so she infiltrated that church to complete a special mission? Do you know?"
"have no idea."
Xinaya controlled her tentacles and hit him hard to prevent the human from resisting with his will.
"Tell me everything about Chen Xiao'er!"
"That's all I know, really! She's been traded to the Church of Glory and has nothing to do with us, the Devouring Snakes!"
Physiological tears were streaming down the man's face. He tried his best to empty his mind and prevent the devil from discovering more important things.
No matter what the creature from the abyss wants to know, he will never let it get its wish!
Damn it, you killed Ali, damn it—
Xinaya scraped his brain back and forth with her tentacles, and the instinctive reaction seemed to be no different.
She didn't quite understand the relationship between humans, but since Chen Xiao'er was [traded] away, it was normal for the Devouring Snake to no longer pay attention.
This information partially confirms the information obtained from our fellow tribesmen.
Although she was also concerned about Chen Xiao'er's identity, she was more concerned about the imminent question: where would Chen Xiao'er appear in half a month.
"Where do you think Chen Xiao'er will appear?"
"have no idea."
The man was startled and quickly mobilized his emotions to fight back.
The devil immediately noticed his resistance and sneered, asking, "What are you doing here? What do you think Chen Xiao'er is doing here? What are you looking for?"
The deep purple mark flashed and disappeared.
“…Guaaaa!”
The man spat out a mouthful of blood and gasped for breath as he replied, "We're...looking for the energy stone. We need that thing, go, go, provide energy."
"Is Chen Xiao'er's target also the Energy Stone?"
"...very likely."
"Where is the exact location?"
"I have a map on me."
Xinnaya looked at the map that floated out and thought for a moment, then forced the man to translate it again, and soon locked onto a special location a few thousand meters away.
The radiation energy there is indeed abnormal, but the radiation energy nearby is very high, and it is difficult to detect without special exploration.
She used her tentacles to lift the man and threw him out of the area. She asked coldly, "What are the rules here? What dangers are there for you?"
"Ahem... There are rules that limit power. Any strange power will be suppressed. It will also cause amnesia."
When the man said this, his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly thought of a possible way out of the situation, and quickly recalled his feelings when Ali died, using overwhelming anger to cover up this little hope.
The devil had his back to him, his senses activated but not exploring the details beneath his rage.
"If you dare to go in, you must have a backup plan. What is your backup plan?"
“…We have a token*, a real token.”
The man cleared his mind, using real information to counteract his excitement. "The Church of Light has more than one backup energy stone. Our people worked hard to exchange one of the tokens. It's here."
"Oh?" The devil chuckled. "So, the token Chen Xiao'er had must have been a fake?"
"yes."
That's really - interesting.
Sinaya lifted the man up with her tentacles and pressed his forehead against the entrance. "Tell me, how effective is the token?"
"It, it can..."
The man's face was distorted within the transparent film, and he spoke in a leaky voice, "It allows us to retain some of our memories, mainly our obsessions, a very small portion. And also some, a few special abilities."
These are all true.
God, please bless me... Please let Ali's death bless me, and don't let the devil know my trump card...! This is our only chance to turn the tables.
"Will the token be useful to me too?"
"It's useful, useful. This is a little useful." The man raised his hand with difficulty and stroked a rusty badge on his chest.
The corners of Xinnaya's mouth curled up wildly, and her three-dimensional face revealed an arrogant and happy expression: "Very good, then - get in!"
Two figures rushed into the abnormal area one after another, stirring up a beautiful light curtain.
The man's face twisted in a wave. He clutched the badge tightly with both hands, a resolute will bursting from the depths of his pupils:
You've been fooled, devil!
I said we have a token, and the token is useful and can act on me through the badge - but the token "we" have is not with me at all!
Haha, hahahahaha, you can't imagine how far humans can go for their companions!
No matter how abnormal the rules are, the devil who does not understand human hearts will never be able to break through the script woven by humans.
Please, Lord Snakefang, please execute this...enemy of humanity.
The man shed tears of blood, and his physical body dissipated in the light.
…
Ding-ling, ding-ling-ling~
The tinkling sound of wind chimes disturbs people's sweet dreams.
The buxom blonde tossed and turned on the bed, and after a few seconds she suddenly threw back the curtains and kicked the embroidered shoes off the foot of the bed.
“Tsk…”
Xinnaya rubbed her forehead and looked at the door impatiently.
She had just woken up and her memory was very confused.
What is important is not the chaos, but a certain kind of resentment that is unwilling to face reality.
What the hell? What kind of "Sixth Concubine" am I? And what the hell is the master? If the master in her memory hadn't died the day before yesterday, she would have picked up the awl and made this guy die again.
Xinaya couldn't understand the trivial memories in her mind. She never thought that she would become someone's appendage and completely lose herself for a little money.
Are you kidding me? How could I be such a damn person?
"Ha!" She roared and pushed the makeup mirror, looking at herself in the mirror with hatred.
The hatred gradually faded after half a minute, and Xinaya remembered something important.
By the way, the master is dead.
He left behind a [very important fortune].
The woman in the mirror raised her eyes, and the depths of her pupils were frighteningly bright.
Although she was not interested in money, when she thought of the "master's treasure", she felt a surge of enthusiasm from the bottom of her heart.
Power, as if as long as you hold that key, you will gain the power to break all shackles.
I can't wait any longer, why should I wait!
Sinaya laughed wildly, pushed open the makeup mirror, and ran out of the room barefoot. She walked through the corridor, her light red dress like a layer of flames.
…
"Hello!"
The arrogant voice made the men and women around the eight-immortals table look up, and they looked at the young woman walking towards them with different expressions.
The Sixth Concubine's feet seemed to be stepping on flames, and lotus flowers bloomed with every step.
She raised her face and smiled happily: "Hand over the Master's Treasure quickly! You bunch of——"
"shut up!"
The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table stood up suddenly: "You have no place to talk here!"
The other man smiled and unfolded a paper fan and waved it. The emblem symbol flashed beside the fan, like a black snake with its mouth wide open.
"Brother, don't get angry. Why are you getting mad at a lunatic? How about we just drown her in the pond?"
"Ha, haha, hahahahahaha."
Xinnaya smiled happily, she didn't care about anyone here at all.
Memory is fake!
Even without any evidence, she would never admit that she would be the way she remembered.
Since it's fake, then everyone here is an enemy.
Enemies, all deserve to die!
She raised her fist, feeling the whistling wind in her ears.
Although she was a little disappointed and not satisfied with this little bit of strength, Xinnaya still swung her fist heavily.
She didn't care about their eyes, she only cared about where they would dodge and where they would... fight back!
"Oh no, she's really gone crazy!"
The housekeeper hid aside with his hands folded, sighing: "It's time to dig the well, right? The well is more suitable for the concubine to stay in, oh."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Xinaya kicked over the table and kicked the man with the paper fan swiftly: "If you can do it, try it!"
