Chapter 120-119- Wanted
Watching Yvette turn into a red light and disappear at the end of the woods behind the church, the general walked out from the shadows with an extremely ugly expression. Even though he was controlling the puppet, the anger on his face was still clearly visible and he couldn't suppress it.
His anger was not because Wuming escaped from him in front of him, but because every skeleton he used in the first wave of skeletons to attack Wuming was an elite skeleton that he had invested a lot of resources to cultivate. They were completely different from the ordinary skeletons outside.
He didn't know how much money he had spent to train these skeleton elites. As a result, his personal living expenses were a bit tight for a while, and it was almost like he was supporting a wife.
But just now, more than half of these skeleton elites were destroyed in their first battle. How could he not hate them?
"Zero...Nameless..." As he muttered these two names, the anger on the general's face soon faded away. After regaining his composure, his expression gradually became cold and solemn.
A few hours ago, his spirit body was severely damaged by Zero's mental attack, and his combat power dropped significantly. Just now, most of his skeleton elites were destroyed by Wuming, and his combat power was further weakened.
It was obvious that these two were sisters, and they must be in the same group. Moreover, their individual combat capabilities far exceeded his expectations and could be described as ridiculously strong.
If he were to play the role of a hero, it would be unlikely for him to catch any of them, but fortunately, he was not such a stubborn person.
We did it secretly before because we wanted to keep a low profile and not make a big fuss about it, but the situation is different now, so of course the way we deal with it has to be different.
If we can't defeat them alone, we should mobilize the collective strength of the police, the army and the religious groups to crush them.
When you are alive, you must learn to adapt.
…
After crossing the Fusjiang Street at four in the morning and returning to the villa on Yangon Street, Yvette had been there for less than two hours when she saw several police cars surrounding her rented villa, with fully armed special police in the cars.
As the "no-fly zone" was still in effect, there were no shuttles flying in the sky, but the solemn and tense atmosphere still permeated the night sky.
After a battle of wits and courage with the air, the police broke into the room and saw no one. They found nothing and began to complain in a bad mood after being woken up.
Of course, Yvette didn't actually go far. Instead, she stood on the roof, using Shadow Meld to blend into the darkness while listening to the police's conversation. She was sure that she had been charged with a lot of crimes such as "selling drugs without a license", "robbery and murder", "stealing sect secrets", etc., and was now the number one wanted criminal in the Rust Bone West.
She thought, the worst has happened.
Whether it is her or a fifth-level mage like the High Priest of Reincarnation, it is impossible for them to fight against the state machine.
After all, a mage's mana bar is limited, while the resources available to the government and military are enormous. Even pure harassment would wear her down, not to mention the fact that Rustbone's army also possesses cutting-edge weaponry like magical mechas and combat golems.
It was even difficult for her to carry out a decapitation operation. First, she was not sure whether she could escape from the dream fog directly if she left the range of Fus River too far away. Second, this incident was caused by the chief priest of reincarnation "Lind Benedict", so he should be the one to be killed.
Unfortunately, the necromancer was hiding so terribly that only the undead could be seen, not the real person. Even if she hacked into the city's surveillance system, she had no idea when she could find any clues about him from the endless surveillance videos.
Afterwards, due to her lack of knowledge of light and shadow magic, she had to change into a hooded sweatshirt, and then use a mask and sunglasses to cover her face to achieve a simple disguise effect. Then she "borrowed" a car from the side of the road and drove through a dirt road without surveillance to Shalin Town, more than 20 kilometers away.
It was already dawn by then. After parking the car in the wilderness outside the town, Yvette walked into the town and saw some locals walking around. Their expressions were a little dull, and she wondered if they were still immersed in sleepiness.
After crossing the alley off the main road, Yvette pushed open the door and entered the courtyard. Liana had already gotten up and was spreading jam on bread in the living room of the main house, while Yinghuo was making hand-beaten coffee beside her, her movements a little clumsy.
After seeing Yvette, Liana said in surprise: "Good morning, sister, you came so early today... Hey, what's with your outfit?"
Yinghuo also showed a puzzled expression and said frankly: "Sister, why do you look like a fugitive?"
"I've encountered a special situation. I'll explain it to you later." Yvette shook her head. "Where's Yvette?"
"She hasn't gotten up yet. Sister, do you have something to talk to her about?" Liana blinked.
"We have to wake her up," said Yvette.
Originally, she wanted to avoid participating in the joint actions of Zero and One as much as possible.
Although the butterfly effect is inevitable, its impact on the future can be reduced by reducing its existence.
But according to the information she got from "Fire Ghost" Colby, the general came to Fusjiang specifically for her, Zero and One. And on the way to Shalin Town, she also saw the latest information released by the police through the local network. Among the wanted criminals, not only her, but Zero and One were also on the list and were directly regarded as her accomplices in crime.
This is different. It is equivalent to forcing the three of them to act together. It is difficult for her to reduce her presence. It is better to take the initiative to prevent Zero from going crazy and dragging everyone into trouble.
Walking into the bedroom, Yvette saw the tiny Zero, curled up on the bed, hugging a pillow, sleeping soundly.
In this harmless state, she still looked incredibly adorable, none of the madness she'd displayed the day she'd attacked Yvette without provocation. Liana approached her, calling softly and poking her face. Unfortunately, Zero was in a deep sleep and didn't react at all.
Yvette felt a little strange. Logically speaking, with Zero's characteristics, she shouldn't sleep so soundly. Doesn't this mean that she can't even notice the enemy approaching?
She walked over and reached out to touch Zero's head, but the next second Zero's eyes opened and stared at her with a terrifying look, like a panting wild cat that might bite at any time. Only after Yvette withdrew her hand did she close her eyes again, resume her even breathing, and continue to sleep.
“…”
"Sister..." Liana looked at her innocently.
"Has she always been like this?" Yvette asked helplessly.
"No, she wasn't so sleepy before, but since she came to Fusjiang, I don't know if it was because she was too tired before or what, but now she sleeps a lot every day and rarely wakes up." Liana said strangely.
"Her sleep volume has increased? Since coming here?" Yvette said in surprise.
"You could say that." Liana nodded.
Yvette fell into deep thought, wondering what the reason was. Could it be that he had discovered, like herself, that sleeping was the best way to increase the strength of the spiritual body?
I admit it's a bit short.
