Chapter 308: Suspicion
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out, and the trajectory of the bullet easily pierced through the suddenly filled fog, and then struck Yicheng's mecha shell with a clatter.
And at the same time, the ethereal woman had also dispersed with the mist, and there was no trace of it.
Only one voice, as if it had begun, subtle and soft, pierced through the mecha and clearly into Yi Cheng's ear.
"I'm looking forward to the next time we meet, you'll grow even better than you are now, so ...... I'll feel more accomplished when I kill you. β
Mysteriously appeared and mysteriously disappeared, this evil villain of unknown origin and unknown identity, this woman who always spoke with an unpredictable meaning, but would hit the key point every time, brought Yi Cheng a strange chill in addition to the doubts in his head.
Targeted? Want to kill yourself?
All right...... Let's see who kills whom!
Putting aside the complicated thoughts caused by the unexpected encounter, Yi Cheng, who had calmed down, jumped off the mecha without hesitation and ran to check on the condition of the Soul Breaker.
He wasn't worried about the woman who had just shot him and tried to break the siege, but instead hit his mech and gave him another shot - not because he had 100% trust in this man, in fact, just now, he had seen the belated dragoon hovering in the sky.
"Whew...... Luckily, it looks like he just passed out. β
After confirming that the Soul Breaker's breathing was normal and that there were no obvious external injuries on his body, Yi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and met the policewoman who hurried to him.
"Mao Lili? Why are you here? β
"Ah...... In fact, that's the same question I want to ask. β
As one of the tenants of Yicheng's apartment, Mao Lili, a female criminal policeman who had just returned from a business trip not long ago, still had the surprise on her face when she saw Yicheng.
"I was on patrol when I accidentally spotted a wanted criminal, and when I ran after him, he suddenly disappeared, and then, I saw you...... Well, to be exact, it's the big guy and the woman just now. β
Signaling Yi Cheng's mecha parked next to him, Mao Lili's tone was full of lingering feelings.
"Who is that woman? She disappeared when I shot her, but it's good that you were in the mech at the time, otherwise I would have injured you by mistake......"
"Well, I'm fine."
Yi Cheng waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and at this moment, the dragoons in the sky also landed, looking at the chaotic battlefield in amazement.
"What's going on? I just saw Meow fleeing in a panic in the direction of the Savior's management office on the way over. β
"That's what you seeβthen again, why did it take you so long?"
ββ¦β¦ Oops, that's infuriating! β
Tugging at his ponytail, the dragoon's face was full of the atmosphere after being played.
"When I came to the outskirts of the community, I saw that banshee!"
"Banshee?"
"That's right! Judging by the energy response, it's the one you didn't catch last time! β
The girl swung her fist hard and smashed her palm.
"As a result, I almost chased it, and that little thing suddenly swooped and didn't know where it went!"
ββ¦β¦β
It sounds like a complicated matter, but if you sort it out carefully, Yi Cheng has roughly understood the situation.
When he and the Spirit Breaker arrive at the scene and begin a battle with an enemy who appears to be a werewolf and is actually a druid, the dragoons, who are supposed to arrive later, unexpectedly discover the "Banshee" behind both incidents and rush in pursuit.
At this moment, the mysterious villain who suddenly appeared, took advantage of Cat's escape for unknown reasons, and held the Soul Breaker hostage, after talking to Yi Cheng, because of the pursuit of the fugitive, Mao Lili, who accidentally noticed the situation, raised a gun to warn and shoot, and finally chose to leave.
"Huh? There's still a guy like that......"
After quietly exchanging information with Yi Cheng about the "mysterious woman" that had just appeared, the dragoon also showed a surprised expression on his face.
"I've never heard of such a powerful evil villain, and according to what you said in the protagonist, that person seems to know a lot about you."
"So, that's what I'm most concerned about...... Well, let's ignore that for now, let's take the Spirit Breaker back to the base for examination and treatment, and by the way, get Cat back, and that ...... Well? β
Yi Cheng, who was about to point out the location of the "werewolf" that had been knocked unconscious to the dragoon, was stunned in the next second to find that the body that should have been lying on the ground in a coma had disappeared at some point!
"Hint: For the Druids, transforming into a leopard form allows them to hide their whereabouts and breath at night."
ββ¦β¦ Next time there is such a prompt, please explain it to me as soon as possible. β
After unceremoniously giving the little Lori Ellie a shudder, Yi Cheng sighed deeply.
It was obviously an action full of confidence, but the result was ...... Is it the result of nothing?
Not...... Maybe it can't be said that it's completely nothing? At least......
Turning his gaze back to Mao Lili, who was waiting to the side, not intending to eavesdrop on the conversation of the saviors, after a moment of thought, Yi Cheng still walked towards her.
"You say, did you come here to track down fugitives?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
Mao Lili had a "why would you ask such a non-nutritious question" expression.
"Hmm...... Although my next question may be a little abrupt - did you make your own decisions this time, or did you report it to the higher-ups? β
"So you wanted to ask this."
Mao Lili was surprised for a moment, and then gave an affirmative answer.
"When I found the fugitive, I immediately reported the situation to the team on my mobile phone - so I'm afraid there will be a lot of my colleagues coming here later, are you sure it's okay if you don't leave here as soon as possible?"
"Okay, I got it."
Yi Cheng nodded, and after taking a look at the messy square, he turned his head and beckoned the dragoons to bring the Soul Breaker, while he took Xiao Ellie back into the mecha, said goodbye to Mao Lili, and explained that he would send a damage control team to repair and deal with the aftermath later, and quickly left the scene.
"Judging from your heartbeat and body temperature just now, as well as the changes in the feelings contained in your words, you are suspicious of the policewoman just now."
Inside the mecha, the mechanical Lori Ellie suddenly opened her mouth in an emotionless tone.
Yi Cheng did not deny this, but sighed slightly.
"yes, what happened just now, no matter how you look at it, she's very suspicious."
