Chapter 33: Fighting Magic with Magic



It seemed like a moment, but also like a long time had passed.

The noisy sounds seemed to fade away, and the colorful lights and the crowd seemed to blur.

The brown-haired boy seemed stunned. He raised his head, his lips trembling slightly, but he didn't utter a single word.

The ice-blue earrings swayed, but the black-haired young man seemed to see nothing, and his indifferent expression remained unchanged.

When time froze and then began to flow again, Li Li passed by him, bringing up a breeze.

The noise of the crowd filled my ears, and the silence at that moment seemed to be just an illusion.

It was like falling, returning to reality from the floating emptiness.

It was just two strangers who happened to make eye contact.

Yiming looked ahead in a daze, his eyes seemed to be lingering on the moment when they crossed each other.

Then he turned around and said to the figure that was not far away: "Wait"

"Wait for me, Bai Ge!"

The completely unfamiliar red-haired boy caught up to the black-haired young man, turned his head and looked at him with sparkling childish eyes, as if he was expecting something.

Someone in the crowd retreated into Yiming's field of vision, blocking his view.

They were smiling happily.

But when Yiming walked forward and bypassed the pedestrians who were blocking his view, he could no longer find that figure in the crowd.

"Yiming? What are you looking at here?"

Yu Xiao's voice came from the side, and he seemed to have put a lot of effort into squeezing out his breath.

Yiming stared blankly at the crowd in front of him and did not respond for a while.

When Yu Xiao uttered a puzzled nasal sound, he patted his cheeks, put on a smile, and regained his energetic look.

"It's nothing, I just recognized the wrong person." He turned around, took Yu Xiao's shoulder and led him in the opposite direction.

"Let's continue looking for Momo. She's not here. She should be on the same street as yesterday..."

...

I have already walked out of that street. The diamond-shaped street lights illuminate the road, lengthening my figure.

Under the cold moonlight, Li Li looked at the road ahead, while the young master beside her was still talking to himself.

"Bai Ge, I just saw them roasting a very small turkey with a pig's head. We roasted one before when my parents were here, but it was much bigger than that one. It was just right for my brother and I. They roasted such a small one, and there were so many people. Won't there be enough to eat?" An Huyu said, stepping on the shadow of the street lamp.

Of course she ignored it, but An Huyu's interest in speaking was not disturbed at all.

Li Li looked up at the moon in the sky. She didn't know if it was because of the sudden sound, but her brain, which had been extremely busy during this period, suddenly recalled the past.

In fact, when she first came to the comic world, many of her actions were for the purpose of gaining popularity, such as suddenly approaching the boss and pretending to be a product and staying with Ichimura.

At that time, her first goal was to survive, so her only goal was popularity.

Then she faced Yue Lan and Qing Yuchen head-on. At that time, she had no choice but to fight to the death. Because if she didn't get her own superpowers while the mall was still available, it would be even more difficult to get superpowers later. And without superpowers, it would be difficult for her to survive in this superpower society.

It seems that her goal is still to survive.

Later, she gave herself a new face, changed her identity, and "killed" herself. There were many reasons for this. For example, she faced a bad situation, a conceptual high-level hunter, or the consequences of killing a noble. She also didn't want to stay around the protagonist of the comics and be trapped and passive all the time.

But the most important thing is still for popularity. The earlier Bai Yueguang dies, the higher her popularity will be, and she just happened to have such an opportunity.

At that time, she was only thinking about gaining popularity points and then surviving in Jiaohuang City. Thinking about it now, there were actually many flaws left.

Although she cannot be used in the mall now, her popularity can be converted into life for more than 200 days, which is more than enough.

Therefore, at this time, under the premise of ensuring her own survival, she has only one goal:

Create the character of 'Haig'.

She is dressed in a false cloak and takes charge of her role.

Now it's her turn to weave lies for her readers.

But is Yiming's hair a little thin? She casually recalled what had just happened.

She will meet Ichimiya again, but not now.

She will make the most of the role of 'Bai Yueguang'.

...

"...It would be better if brother wasn't so fierce." An Huyu said suddenly.

The young master looked back and made sure that the bodyguards were following him from a distance, not too close. Then he continued, "When my parents were still alive, he was not vicious and would even play treasure games with me."

I don’t know if the scene he saw tonight stimulated him, but An Huyu suddenly talked to Li Li about his family.

Li Li was not surprised. She had previously guessed that An Huyu had family problems, but she didn't expect him to say it out loud.

"I'm an outsider." Li Li said symbolically.

But An Huyu didn't care about these things when he felt the urge to confess. Rather, he had been very dependent on Li Li recently, so he didn't think it was wrong to tell Li Li.

"It's okay, any noble knows this," he said.

An Huyu looked up at Li Li and asked, "Bai Ge, what do you think is the most important thing for the nobles?"

"Power, status, money, or superpowers?" he asked, and then quickly answered himself, "Of course it's superpowers."

"Without the inheritance of supernatural powers, the wealth of the nobles will soon be swallowed up by other nobles. That's what happened to my family." An Huyu opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the moon in the sky. "My family used to live in the floating city, the place closest to the royal family. I have also met the princess of the empire. When my parents took me and my older brother to meet the royal family when I was a child, I often played with her."

Li Li glanced at the young master out of the corner of her eye.

She thought this was probably the reason why An Huyu, despite being a member of a noble family, did not inherit the bloodline.

So far, she has seen two noble families. The Yue family betrayed the former supernatural guild and joined the empire to become a noble family. The An family is suspected to have died, and the supernatural power inheritance was broken, so they moved from the floating city in the center to Sitong City.

The more noble the nobles are, the less they want to touch "defective products" and use cheap means such as plunder. It is completely predictable that An from the floating city would have this idea.

Without the blood inheritance from his elders and without any understanding of his own, An Huyu would certainly be an ordinary person without any superpowers.

"Now that I don't have superpowers, she will probably make fun of me along with the others." As An Huyu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, "Because this big brother is always angry with me and won't let me go here or there."

"I feel so suffocated. It wasn't like this at home before."

The noise of the crowd seemed to be far away, and the sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of the young master sniffing echoed in the night sky.

"Bai Ge, without my superpowers, can I do nothing?" The question came back to this point. The daily routine of bounty hunters in the past few days did not make An Huyu give up his idea. "Can I really not catch Heige?"

Li Li, the spiritual trash can, said nothing.

If she wanted to, she could certainly let An Huyu have her fun, but why did she do that?

The building of the Superpower Guild was getting closer and closer, and sporadic broadcasts could already be heard coming from the bounty hall.

An Huyu wiped away her tears and said, "Anyway, my brother and the others haven't made any progress, so we still have hope."

"Oh, by the way, big brother and his friends seem to have a new idea." Speaking of this, An Huyu suddenly tapped his head as if he had remembered something, "They seem to want to catch the black shark."

The Sitong City Supernatural Guild branch had checked all guild members two days ago. Based on the known information, they checked all the conceptual hunters and those who had anything to do with illusions. No matter they were newcomers or veterans who had been there a long time ago, no one knew where Heiger came from or where he had lived before.

The entire city was searched by them, which caused a chain reaction, so that as soon as Yiming and his team entered Sitong City, they encountered bounty hunters searching and investigating.

In the previous chapter of the comic, the younger twin sister, Momo, has special abilities and is targeted by a bounty hunter who wants to gain credit from the nobles.

However, these people could not guess at the moment that a B-rank magician was the person they were looking for.

Hearing this, Li Li was a little curious about how they planned to catch Heige. She had just seen Yiming, and the brown-haired boy didn't seem to be hunted down by the Superpower Guild, so the relationship between Heige and Yiming should not have been exposed.

So how do they plan to lure Haig out?

Li Li was quite interested. She made many assumptions, including that Hua Yizhi revealed his identity as a former member of the supernatural guild and was taken away by the nobles as bait.

But she soon found out.

When they arrived at the door of the Superpower Guild, Li Li saw a familiar figure walking out of the door.

White lights shone from the lobby of the Supernatural Guild to the night sky outside. Even at night, the building was still magnificent.

And that 'familiar' person walked past her and went in the opposite direction from when Li Li came.

Li Li walked past the man without even glancing at him, as if she didn't know him.

"It seems to be that person!" After the others walked away, An Huyu spoke to Li Li in a low voice.

But even if he didn't say it, Li Li knew it.

Because that person had black hair and black eyes, and was wearing a familiar black windbreaker with a choker around his neck.

Although his figure was a little sturdier, it was obvious that it was the character 'Li' that Haig had played.

The nobles wanted to use magic to defeat magic, and use black to catch black.

For a moment, Li Li wanted to exclaim what a genius idea this was.

The only thing you can catch here is a small corgi, right?

But for Li Li, this is actually the most beneficial arrangement for her.

In the shadows where An Huyu couldn't see, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and then returned to her cold look.

She walked into the supernatural guild, seemingly not noticing anything special about the person just now.

Just like before, it was just a chance encounter.

...

Two days later.

[Opening the channel for you...Welcome back to reality.]

At midnight, the comics were updated.
