Who told you I am an NPC

Chapter : 130

Having beautifully devoured the ham sausage, the little black cat hooked its tail around the little girl's wrist, nimbly avoiding the hands that still wanted to embrace it, and leaped onto the top of the wall.

"Meow~"

Yan Yunqing meowed at the little girl as a farewell and hurried off in the direction of Demetrius on the minimap.

"Ah! The little cat ran away!"

Demetrius's movement trajectory used many tricks of the eye, but this was no challenge for Yan Yunqing, who had the minimap cheat.

He simply took the shortest distance between two points, a straight line, and relied on taking the road less traveled to catch up with Demetrius.

To ensure that Demetrius wouldn't discover him again and lead him in circles, Yan Yunqing simply followed the minimap, maintaining a distance where he couldn't see Demetrius at all, not letting his gaze fall upon the other's body.

I refuse to believe you can still spot me like this, kid.

Yan Yunqing swished his tail, leaped lightly, and jumped onto a tree, running among the branches. Protected by his paw pads, he didn't make much noise.

The direction Demetrius was walking became more and more remote. Yan Yunqing keenly stopped and waited a while before following.

Why is this guy walking to a more and more remote place? Could he have discovered my presence again and is planning to lead me into a dead end to trick me out?

Yan Yunqing pulled back a little further, staying at the maximum range of the minimap, and followed at an unhurried pace.

The small dot representing Demetrius stopped at a certain location. Yan Yunqing's spirits lifted. It seemed Demetrius had reached his destination.

At a time like this, there was no need to worry about being discovered and led in circles again. Yan Yunqing quickly darted out, heading straight for Demetrius's position.

After running for about four or five minutes, Yan Yunqing could already vaguely see Demetrius's figure. There seemed to be other people standing opposite him.

Yan Yunqing's steps paused. He once again leaped up a tree, hiding in the canopy to look in Demetrius's direction.

Demetrius's appearance had indeed changed, and his entire aura was no longer the introverted gloominess from before.

It had become extremely sharp, like a sword about to be unsheathed, emanating an extremely dangerous aura.

To be honest, Yan Yunqing really found it hard to see any connection between this 'Demetrius' and his roommate Demetrius.

If not for the fact that they both had the name Demetrius above their heads, Yan Yunqing wouldn't dare to recognize this person.

The figure opposite 'Demetrius' was blocked by him. Yan Yunqing peered around a couple of times but couldn't get a clear look at the other person's face.

Yan Yunqing wasn't in a hurry either. He simply lay down, crossing his two paws and resting his chin on them, waiting for them to finish their conversation so the person would move aside and let him see clearly.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about getting closer to listen to what they were talking about.

It was just that being led in circles by 'Demetrius' had already made him understand that this guy was extremely sensitive to unfamiliar gazes.

Approaching rashly would probably lead to immediate discovery.

His black cat image had already appeared before 'Demetrius' earlier. Showing up again would definitely arouse suspicion. Yan Yunqing felt it was better not to take too much of a risk.

Although they were both named Demetrius, Yan Yunqing couldn't guarantee that this 'Demetrius' was the same Demetrius he knew.

If he really was, then Demetrius's act of disguising himself to enter Sigret seemed very suspicious. It couldn't be that he was also here to fleece skills, just like him, right?

Yan Yunqing watched 'Demetrius', trying to read his lips to decipher what they were saying.

"I..."

"Got it......"

"No need...you guys..."

Yan Yunqing's eyes grew sore from watching, but he could only decipher a few words.

And these words couldn't be pieced together into a complete conversation at all; they were all common daily phrases, making it really hard to guess.

However, the way 'Demetrius' spoke was very much like a superior giving orders to a subordinate.

It seemed the person standing opposite him was of a lower status.

Yan Yunqing subconsciously licked his fur, getting a mouthful of cat hair, and spat twice. Ptooey, ptooey.

'Demetrius' keenly stopped talking and turned his head. His sharp gaze immediately fell in Yan Yunqing's direction.

However, due to the relatively dense leaves among the branches, 'Demetrius' didn't find Yan Yunqing's hiding place at first.

Oh ho.

Yan Yunqing knew this position was no longer safe. He stood up, shook the somewhat messy fur on his body, and scurried up to a higher spot on the treetop.

After ensuring his entire cat body was concealed by the leaves, he found another branch to lie down on.

'Demetrius' walked over and sized up the tree Yan Yunqing was in. He looked up.

This tree could perfectly conceal the body of a cat, but it couldn't hide a living person, not even a small child.

'Demetrius' didn't see anything. He frowned slightly, made somewhat paranoid by the sensations he had felt along the way.

This feeling of being watched...

'Demetrius' narrowed his eyes and made a hand gesture to the person he had just been talking to.

That person seemed a little surprised but didn't say much. He lowered his head and prepared to leave respectfully.

It was only at this moment that Yan Yunqing truly got a clear look at the person opposite 'Demetrius'. He was slightly stunned.

This...

Black robes, a full-face mask, with strange patterns on the mask...

Yan Yunqing's eyes widened in an instant.

Wait, this outfit looks a bit familiar!

Wasn't this the attire of another group of people he encountered when he went to the Bartovita dungeons to rescue Uncle Lane?

At the same time Yan Yunqing broke into the dungeons, another wave of people broke in with him, except they broke into the area below the dungeons where the demonic beasts were kept. Yan Yunqing had already gotten specific information about that organization from Lilian.

'Blood Mist', an organization established by the wolf cub Boros, who had been picked up by the former Demon King.

Its reputation was polarized, infamous among the wealthy and noble, but a protective umbrella for the poor people on the border, allowing them to survive.

In a sense, it could be considered robbing the rich to help the poor.

At that time, based on what he had heard, Yan Yunqing judged that the people from 'Blood Mist' that day were probably there to destroy that underground demonic beast stronghold.

And after 'Blood Mist' had almost succeeded, another wave of people appeared to stop 'Blood Mist' from leaving.

Those people only had question marks and levels above their heads, and the leader was a guy wearing a black robe and a patterned mask.

His attire was exactly the same as the one next to 'Demetrius'!

Almost half a year had passed. If he hadn't seen this outfit again today, Yan Yunqing would have probably forgotten about it.

To think he would encounter it again...

So, is this 'Demetrius' related to that other organization?

Yan Yunqing felt that this world was truly bizarre. How could he just randomly pick a roommate and run into a guy whose identity was a complete mystery?

Yan Yunqing still wanted to see what special connections his roommate had, but he saw him make a hand gesture, and the masked man withdrew.

...Withdrew??

No, you don't have to be this vigilant, do you?

Yan Yunqing was at a loss. He hadn't heard anything yet? Why did you stop talking? Say something more! Reveal some information to him!

He couldn't have been led in circles for so long only to find out no information at all, right? That would make him look very stupid!

"Right, Young Master, the Church's side..." The person who was about to leave seemed to sense Yan Yunqing's unwillingness to give up, stopped in his tracks, and said to 'Demetrius',

"Should we arrange for some people to make contact?"

"You don't need to worry about this matter." 'Demetrius' waved his hand. His voice was a familiar tone to Yan Yunqing, yet it was so cold it felt like ice shards would drop.

"Leave the Church's side be for now. They are too eager. It's good to let them cool down for a bit."

Yan Yunqing's eyes flickered.

Good heavens, this mysterious organization is also connected to the Church of Light?

"Yes."

"Everything will proceed according to plan." 'Demetrius's sharp gaze fell upon the masked man. "Do not act on your own accord."

"...Yes, your subordinate obeys."

Yan Yunqing let out a silent "wow". His roommate's status was really not low! He was even called Young Master.

Could his identity be something like the son of the organization's leader?

But what exactly was the plan? Couldn't you be a little clearer? It was making him anxious!

Yan Yunqing wrinkled his nose and couldn't help but flick his tail a couple of times.

This time, the masked man couldn't continue to sense Yan Yunqing's feelings. He left respectfully, leaving 'Demetrius' standing there alone.

Yan Yunqing clicked his tongue in his heart and could only lie on the tree to observe 'Demetrius'.

This 'Demetrius' was actually quite good-looking. His features were three-dimensional, and he had a high nose bridge.

It was just that the viciousness and sinister ruthlessness in his brows and eyes were too obvious.

When his head was half-lowered, his hair covered half his face, and his expression was hidden in the shadows, making him look like anything but a good person.

He also had an indescribable aura of decay about him, something that the Demetrius in Sigret Academy did not have.

In comparison, the Demetrius in Sigret had a more ordinary appearance. Although he always kept his head down, looking like one of those damp and gloomy characters from a manga, when you interacted with him, you would find that he had a gentle personality and was a cute, gloomy little mushroom.

Putting the two together, Yan Yunqing couldn't imagine they were the same person.

Yet, the names above their heads were the same.

It couldn't be a coincidence, right? But if the Demetrius in Sigret Academy was just an act, that would be a bit too terrifying. What kind of Best Actor-level NPC was this?

Yan Yunqing had a strong ability to perceive others' emotions.

If that Demetrius were truly some dangerous figure, he would have discovered it long ago. It was impossible to be completely unaware.

How interesting.

Yan Yunqing thought to himself.

'Demetrius' stood there quietly, seemingly immersed in his own world, his head half-lowered as he contemplated something.

His fallen bangs blocked his expression, making it even more difficult for Yan Yunqing, who was lying on the tree, to catch a glimpse of any of his emotions.

Suddenly, he raised his head, very quickly. Those dark purple eyes met Yan Yunqing's gaze.

The depths of 'Demetrius's eyes were as black as ink, bottomless. The muscles on his face were tense, and his aura was exceptionally frightening.

The moment his eyes met Yan Yunqing's, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile that could be described as either triumphant, or full of provocation and malice.

In that instant, Yan Yunqing felt a chill run down his spine, shuddering without being cold.

"Caught you~"
