Chapter 122: Luck or Misfortune? Affection or Ruthlessness
Chapter 122: Luck or Misfortune? Affection or Ruthlessness
Just when everyone was feeling somewhat panic-stricken, a tall figure quickly passed by the crowd and landed only a few steps away from the forbidden stone marker.
He was wearing earth-brown armor, with only his unusually muscular upper arms exposed, as if he was deliberately avoiding showing any part of his body. He even wore a pair of dark gloves on his hands, and a crimson knight's cloak was draped behind him.
Although he had a longer life after being transformed and was much younger than many people in the guild, the hair that grew from his body was always gray, which was even more conspicuous when paired with a pure black beret.
"Hey! Zhuge Wangshu! They actually sent you here? Ling Su is really a big honor!"
Xuanjue had always been dissatisfied with the Chief Inspector. Besides his aversion to him as a punisher, he was more unwilling to accept the fact that he had been defeated by him repeatedly.
Zhuge Wangshu's face from the corner of his right eye to the left nose was covered with a special metal mask all year round, so it was difficult to discern his emotions. He didn't say a word, as he was used to Xuanjue's cold words, or he had heard too many worse ones, and all this was because his strength was not based on talent and hard work, but on an experiment that hovered between life and death and had only a one in a hundred thousand chance of success.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Zhuge Wangshu is now an ugly, violent person with bad behavior, but no one has ever explored what he has experienced as Ye Sheng.
The president said that he was a lucky and unfortunate person. He knew the torture Ye Sheng had endured during the survival transformation, but because he was one in a hundred thousand, he survived, so no matter what he had experienced before, he was still lucky.
After learning that Ye Lianxi was in Lingsu at the moment, Ye Sheng was almost in a state of ecstasy. The sister he thought he had lost long ago and the hope he should have given up long ago were rekindled at this moment!
But this joy was mixed with some hesitation and uneasiness on the way to Lingsu.
He didn't know whether Ye Lianxi could accept this look that even he himself hated. After all, in her memory, the handsome and graceful second brother would never come back...
Before he could finish listening to Kong E's words, he thought Ye Lianxi was right behind him. He turned around and looked for her among the people standing behind him.
But after he repeatedly confirmed that he did not see the expected figure, he began to panic.
Fear, anxiety, anger... countless complex feelings intertwined with each other, making Ye Sheng's heart seem as if it was being scratched by tens of thousands of claws at the same time.
"Ye Lianxi! Ye Lianxi! Ye Lianxi... where is she!!"
He desperately called out that familiar name; his hoarse, cracked voice sounded like a roar, and his body trembled uncontrollably with excitement.
"In, in the forbidden area! It's almost night, and we dare not go in without the guild's permission!
Sir, she is just a child. Maybe she came here by mistake and she is not a treasure thief! No, please don't bother me!"
Ruan Cheng knew the inspector's style very well. Ye Lianxi was in great danger now and was quite pitiful. He felt soft-hearted for a moment and wanted to say a few good words for her.
This was the first time he spoke to this adult at such a close distance.
"What! You said she was in... a forbidden area?!!!"
……
[How stingy! You hurt my hand! What's wrong with me eating a little of you! ]
At this time, Ye Lianxi in the forbidden area had no idea what was happening outside. After chasing the strange egg for a while, he was so tired that he sat down on the ground.
The beast egg understood Ye Lianxi's meaning and had already cleverly jumped to a place a few meters away from her.
This must be the first time it has heard that someone wants to eat it, right? I just don't know if Ye Lianxi will really do this or just say it casually out of boredom.
Looking at the treasures scattered all over the empty cemetery, and facing the rare treasures that so many people outside had fought over, Ye Lianxi had no interest in them. But what was certain was that if someone were to exchange all the treasures here for a box of snacks, she would agree without hesitation.
[Alarm! Someone is breaking in! Someone is breaking in!! Alarm!]
[Protect Ah Chou! Everyone, come and protect Ah Chou! Everyone, come! ]
I don’t know whether this group of undead can protect Ye Lianxi, but the undead that were originally a few meters away from her suddenly gathered around her, and frightened Ayin, who had just recovered from her shock, and made her faint again, and fell directly into Ye Lianxi’s hands.
[Ah!! Isn’t this a place where ordinary people will die if they enter? And isn’t there a barrier? Who can come in!!!]
Anyone who dares to break into the forbidden area is not an ordinary person. Looking at the spiritual treasures on the ground, Ye Lianxi felt that she was going to be in trouble. Anyone who saw this scene would think that she was a thief with bad intentions...
At this time, the undead who had been calling her an idiot since she came in came up with a good idea.
[Idiot! Quick! Play dead! Quick! Play dead! Idiot! ]
[Right, right, right! That makes sense! ! Anyway, I don’t know how to explain it, so I might as well just pretend to be dead and get away with it!
Idiot! It turns out you can be smart sometimes!!】
Amid the noisy noise of the undead, Ye Lianxi instantly found a comfortable lying position on the ground. A Yin, who she had put aside, didn't want to stay on the ground and dirty himself, so he relied on his strong willpower to climb from her hand to her arms in his sleepy state.
This was not the first time Ye Sheng had entered the forbidden area. As a high-ranking member of the guild, he was one of the few people who knew how to break through the forbidden area. But what he never expected was that one day he would enter here to find his sister!
However, Ye Sheng's heart was complicated. He knew the danger of the forbidden area. He wanted to find Ye Lianxi, but he didn't want her to be in danger.
After breaking through the guild's barrier and entering the forbidden area, Ye Sheng immediately noticed that something was different here.
Even without using any tools, he could see the faint light everywhere. After the huge empty cemetery got used to the darkness, it became even more terrifyingly quiet in the light...
"It's over! If you alarm him, your friend will be completely screwed! He is known for being ruthless..."
Ruan Cheng looked at Gong Yimian and others who were still bewildered, and explained with reluctance.
"This idiot is so unlucky. Why did the guild send him when there are so many people to choose from? Even if she can avoid the danger in the forbidden area, she can't escape the clutches of our inspector~"
The few children who had just arrived had never seen such a person before. Even with just one glance, they could tell that the inspector was very capable. Listening to his words, they looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn.
Ruan Cheng looked at the students who had just entered the school. The innocence on their faces and their sincerity towards their friends reminded him of his own past as a cultivator.
After thinking for a while, he whispered to Xuan Jue beside him.
"Jue, how about... after we capture 217, we should ask the guild for mercy! She is our student after all! Even though we haven't taught her for a day..."
"…if she is still alive."
Responding to Ruan Cheng's words with a cold tone, Xuanjue stared blankly at the direction where the man entered the forbidden area, and suddenly asked for no reason.
"Do you feel that... Zhuge Wangshu is a little different today?"
