Chapter 127: Episode 41 My plan doesn't allow for this group of [weird...
In the alley, a figure was fighting with a group of [Deformed Species]. The figure was wearing a huge black cloak, which made rustling sounds with his movements.
"It's not that quick," Yu Runfa sighed, relaxing. "It's probably just a [human] who's learned some basic martial arts. It can't see me. It's a good thing I was so alert..."
Putting the girl on his back aside, Yu Runfa untied a very thick hemp rope from his waist.
Although the hemp rope is thick, its weight is average.
Yu Runfa just swung it lightly, and it flew over the chimneys of the houses on both sides of the alley and hung down not far in front.
"Who?!" The figure suddenly stopped and turned around, "Get out!"
"My little Yuyu, I was discovered already? But if you told me to come out, I would be so shameless—"
"Hey, he ... don't do it, don't do it, I'll come out by myself, I'll come out by myself!!"
"What are you doing here during the war?!"
Yu Runfa rubbed his hands awkwardly, glancing at the hemp rope still swinging back and forth: "No, I didn't intend to do anything, I was just passing by, passing by..."
"Just passing by?" The figure's aura suddenly turned cold. "Don't you know what this alley is used for? How dare you run here?!"
"This alley... ? Isn't it just an ordinary alley?" Yu Runfa was confused.
She thought that she hadn't been out of the city for long, so how come a road that she could normally walk on was now blocked?
"Fuck you!" The figure had already dealt with all the Deformed Species in the alley. She rushed to Yu Runfa, covered in blood, and grabbed him by the collar. "Why are you acting so stupid in front of me?!"
"Who's pretending—"
"Yu Yuanxiang, are you trying to save your life? Now that you're back, why did you agree to her?! You clearly know that the lifespan of a [Fusion Body] is only—"
"Yu Yu, big sister, you must have recognized the wrong person. I don't know any 'Yu Yuanxiang'," Yu Runfa's left hand was held by the figure. She struggled and shouted in surprise, "I don't know what [fusion] or not [fusion] is!"
"All I know is that my name is 'Yu Runfa', and I'm just an ordinary human being!"
Yu Runfa was still a little scared. Even though she had tied him up with a hemp rope and the man didn't look that powerful, she was now the "ruler" of the "Deformed Species" "Family"! She couldn't just die like that!
Seeing that the figure did not move or respond, Yu Runfa instantly exerted force, grabbed the figure's hand with his right hand, and tried to pry it apart!
"...Hey, Yu Yuanxiang," the figure's hand remained unmoved, "Did you see that grave?"
"What? Why can't I open it..." Yu Runfa was horrified. "Look, I saw it, what?!"
"Don't touch it."
"Fish! Who would be so bored as to move a bunch of [Deformed Species] corpses?!"
"Then, go, the farther the better."
"Of course I have to leave. Who do you think wants to stay with a cloaked man like you?! Besides, this isn't your territory. I just left for a while, and it didn't bother you at all! What a stingy person!!"
“… Tsk, that’s enough, get out of here.”
"You, you idiot, you dare to scold me?! I'm really leaving now. I won't pay you any protection money! Don't regret it!!"
“No regrets.”
Yu Runfa glanced at the figure suspiciously. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked up and down, but as soon as she did, she discovered something terrible!
The snow under the figure's feet actually melted by itself!
“Y-You’re so un-Aa ...
Before she could finish questioning, her hand felt heavy and her body felt light. The girl's hair was blown by the wind and immediately covered her face.
No one knew where Yu Runfa had “flown” to!
^
"Be careful! Be careful! Everyone, don't come near this side! Go through the safe passage! Go through the safe passage!"
"Don't push, don't push! Be careful of a stampede!"
"There are plenty of supplies! There's everything in the safe place! Everyone, don't worry!"
As He Yuezhe, Xiang Cheng and his group approached the square in the center of the city, they heard shouts coming from all directions.
"Hey! Hello, the central area of the city is temporarily blocked. Please use the safe passage if you wish to leave!" A young girl in a thin cloth dress squeezed out of the crowd and bowed apologetically. "I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay, you did a great job," Xiang Cheng said softly as he reached out to help the girl up. "But there's no need to go through the safe passage. We're reinforcements sent by the Academy. Take us there."
She held up her [License] and showed it to the girl.
"Reinforcements?!" The girl was obviously excited, but her voice did not increase. "Are you Teacher Xiang Cheng?!"
"Please follow me this way!"
…
Because of the blockade, the road the girl led a few people on was empty. Only the corpses piled on both sides of the road added a bit of vitality to the land.
"You guys are really quick," Xiang Cheng said. "It's only been half a day, and you've already driven such a long distance."
"Yes, yes!" The girl walked in front, the cold wind blowing her hair, and the white snow crystals on it reflected the sunlight. "Because the leader said the outcome of this war will have a huge impact on our lives, so everyone is very enthusiastic."
He Yuezhe shifted his gaze and looked at the two suns competing for glory in the sky.
"Is your leader also a human?" He Yuezhe asked.
"Yeah!" The girl paused and replied, "Even though she's a [human], she's really amazing!"
"They're about my age. I can only do odd jobs like sweeping the floor and washing dishes, but the leader already knows how to arrange us and how to deal with those hateful [Deformed Species]!"
"Ah," the girl sighed, "but I heard the leader hasn't been sleeping well lately and hasn't been able to eat. If we work harder, the leader won't be like this, right?"
"Luckily you're here. Now the leader doesn't have to work so hard alone!"
"They should be arriving soon. There might be [Deformed Species] lying in ambush nearby. You little ones—get out of the way!!!"
A finger shot out from a pile of corpses on both sides of the road and pierced He Yuezhe's feet!
"Aa ...
A [Deformed Species] crawled out from the pile of corpses in the alley, followed by the second, the third, and then countless others!
"Is it... a [teleportation] formation?! How could such a thing appear on a street that has already been cleared?!!" The girl's voice was filled with fear.
"Stop! Let the Laichuns take action. You retreat behind me." Xiang Cheng held out his hand to block He Yuezhe, who was about to attack. He turned to the girl and asked, "Don't you have a regular patrol team?"
"Yes! I remember the patrol team's cycle is every three hours. It shouldn't be possible to complete the [Teleportation] formation in three hours!"
"..." Xiang Cheng said coldly, "Is there a traitor in your team?"
"Traitor... Impossible. We are all human. Why would we betray our own race?"
"But not all [humans] think this way." Xiang Cheng glanced at the girl.
He Yuezhe stood behind her, looking at the fighting Laichuns. His expression changed, and he said, "Xiang Cheng, it seems like they can't hold on any longer."
"It doesn't matter. As long as you are here, [they] will not die." Xiang Cheng's expression was calm.
"……oh."
"But I will die."
"Xiang Cheng, choose me or [Laichun]?"
"Minglin!?"
He Yuezhe grabbed the knife that the girl had stabbed into her from behind, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"I know that you have to concentrate completely to control them. Once you get distracted, they will lose their minds."
"But Xiang Cheng," He Yuezhe said with a smile, "I want [them] to lose their minds. I want [them] to completely become [deformed species]."
"Because my plan can't accommodate a group of [monsters] who are neither alive nor dead and controlled by others."
"Minglin, [they] won't bother you. I will take good care of [them]!" Xiang Cheng looked anxious.
"No, you can't."
"From the moment you asked the question 'She wants to use [Spring]', I knew that you were just a pathetic tool. You have no say here at all."
“…”
Xiang Cheng did not answer. She just pulled out the dagger that He Yuezhe had on his waist and stabbed it into the girl's throat neatly.
“Hehehe…???!!!!!” The girl’s eyes were filled with anger and confusion.
She covered her neck, fell backwards to the ground, and then lost her life bit by bit.
"Ahem..." He Yuezhe coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, took the dagger, cut open the girl's chest, and took out the vital core. "She's dead now."
"Minglin, you controlled her just to make her stab you and then be killed by me?"
"What else?" He Yuezhe looked at the long-armed boy who had lost his mind and rushed towards him, wondering, "If she keeps following us, my plan won't be able to proceed."
“Aa ...
"Also, I advise you not to be so talkative. I don't have to save your life."
“…What are you still doing squatting there?! If they lose their minds, [they] will really kill you!!”
“Aa ...
"That's because—"
"Minglin, you bastard! Didn't you promise to protect yourself?! Why are you covered in blood again?!!"
The arrow pierced through the long-armed boy's body in the blink of an eye and nailed it to the ground!
…
…
"Minglin."
"What's the matter, Captain?"
"Are you sure that's okay? I'm still a little worried."
"Of course it's no problem. The worst that can happen is death. I'm not afraid."
"Minglin!! Oh, by the way, I just ran into Yu Yuanxiang on the street near the city gate."
"Yu Yuanxiang..." He Yuezhe's eyes swept over Xiang Cheng who was leading the way in front. "What's her name now?"
"...Fish Runfa."
"..." He Yuezhe suppressed his laughter, "She didn't hit you, did she?"
"Of course not."
"Then how did you get your arm injured?"
“…”
"Ding Dong! Host, the relationship between you and the quest target has changed to: Friends! This section will be automatically closed soon!"
"Um?"
“…”
"I accidentally rubbed it."
