Chapter 113 - 52 Horror Tales Notebook
"Such a troublesome curse," Li Yelai remarked as Yin Fire nodded in agreement. He couldn’t help but express, "Under distrust, even if you know she is a teammate, you probably wouldn’t trust her with your back, would you? Not to mention, there must be many secret missions you can’t tell her about, right?"
"No, her clearance isn’t low, she naturally has access to the information she needs. However, it’s true that we dare not trust her completely," Yin Fire nodded. "That’s one of the reasons she acts alone. Although we rationally understand it’s the curse’s influence and can barely manage to inform her of the intelligence despite our doubts, whenever we see her or mention her, we can’t help but feel suspicious. No one can stand being doubted by their teammates."
"She often faces dangerous tasks alone, perhaps to prove herself. This has also rapidly increased her strength. She’s already a Sixth-Sense Spiritual Ability User."
"Speaking of which, your curse resistance is so high that you don’t have to worry about this. Once you grow stronger, you might even become her teammate," Yin Fire said. "That might be a good thing."
"Uh, first I have to survive the calamity," Li Yelai shrugged. "I’m even afraid of being struck by thunder. Say, can a Spiritual Ability User withstand a lightning strike?"
"Enough Spiritual Barrier thickness or sufficient physical strength can handle it. Of course, if you have abilities like Thunder control in the Path of Zero, you might not need to worry. You being Wanxiang, it’s hard to say. So, don’t go out on rainy days!" Yin Fire teased, "Stay away from me when it rains!"
"How could I possibly do that, I must stick with you!" Li Yelai teased back.
Subsequently, Yin Fire took Li Yelai out of the headquarters and they boarded a vehicle heading back to the East City Branch.
The first phase of the Ark operation had already ended.
And from a window at the headquarters, Little Mad King silently watched the departing vehicle.
"Have you met the Night General?" An elderly woman approached to about five meters away and stopped, smiling. Even as a high-ranking official in the Processing Department, the old woman did not get closer to Little Mad King. This was the safe distance she recognized.
