Chapter 95: The Danger of Wanting to Sneak In

Sister Yao’s scream made Chen Fengshi turn his head to take a look, and only then did he realize that Little An had arrived without him knowing. He couldn’t help but secretly blame himself for his sharp drop in vigilance; if this were a Demon General, wouldn’t he have been ambushed?

To prevent Sister Yao from making a fuss, he raised his hand to signal for quiet. By doing so, Sister Yao realized that this person who had popped up silently and suddenly was not a ghost, but a human, and very likely a comrade from the ghost-driving side.

At this time, Black stubbornly climbed up again. Even though her movements became even slower, she still charged over.

Chen Fengshi could only use the next throw to express his annoyance at her fighting spirit.

She was clearly a woman, but Liu Shuzhi, who was watching from behind, did not sympathize with her at all. He wished he could go up and help beat up this woman whose aggressiveness was inexplicably strong. Even though he did not understand the whole story, he could tell the general idea that they should not be fighting. She should at least say something! Keeping silent and constantly striking hard, constantly striking hard… wasn’t she just asking for a beating!

Black was thrown flying once again. This time, it took her more than thirty seconds to catch her breath, and then, she stubbornly climbed up again.

Chen Fengshi stood there, his feet not moving for a long time. He had stopped talking. If she wanted to fight, he would grant her wish.

Little An had been here for a while. She came alone, probably because new companions were hard to communicate with, so having one more person made it more persuasive.

However, when she arrived, she saw Chen Fengshi repeatedly giving in to show goodwill, while the other party had no intention of communicating. At that time, she got angry. In the past Mutual Aid Association, there were many new companions who did not trust others because they were cautious, but she had never seen one like this. It would be fine if she just didn’t believe them, but what did it mean to attack with every strike being so ruthless?

So, Little An watched quietly, and thus discovered the strange phenomenon of Black Power of Life either devouring or quickly killing the Golden Power of Life.

Black was beaten down to the ground once again. The blows she had taken were already too heavy, and her knife had long been knocked away by Chen Fengshi, but she still crawled forward. She crawled a bit, stopped for a moment, and then continued to crawl.

Chen Fengshi didn’t even have any anger left. He squatted down, looked at the crawling figure, and couldn’t help but persuade her with a mix of pity and frustration: “The speed at which your Power of Life consumes my power is limited, and it is simply not enough to make up for the loss you take from the blows. It’s useless even if you crawl over! Have you watched too many Japanese anime? Do you think you can beat everyone and everything just by relying on willpower?”

Black rested for a moment, then continued to crawl forward. As she crawled, she said hatefully: “I will absolutely never surrender to you devils!”

She didn’t believe them, so she attacked?

This reason was actually understandable, but just how little trust in people did it take to produce such strong aggressiveness?

Little An pressed the voice changer against her neck, stepped forward, and said: “If we were the demons you speak of, he could have killed you a hundred times already.”

“Hmph! Who knows what sinister plots you have! My friend, my best friend was harmed by a devil covered in red mist! You are helping them, aren’t you in the same group?” Black actually knew early on that continuing to fight would lead to no result. She had no way to hold out until the moment she could completely absorb the Golden Power of Life of this male Heiqi.

However, she still persisted because she knew that only by persisting to the very end could she better gain someone’s trust.

“This matter is quite complicated. If you are willing to listen, we can talk about it in detail. To put it simply, those just now were the kind of Evil Ghosts that do not harm people, and they are currently helping us eliminate the most vicious Evil Ghosts.” Little An explained briefly and to the point, feeling quite uncomfortable in her heart. For the sake of Sister Yao and Liu Shuzhi’s situation, she told a blatant lie, replacing the Fungal Demon with a ghost.

“Hmph! You yourself are a demon covered in red mist, do you think I would believe your words?” Black dismissed it with scorn. She was actually very confused because she did not know about the so-called Primordial Power of Life. In her eyes, Little An was a Fungal Demon. Regarding Fungal Demons and the Power of Life, her limited concepts almost entirely came from Juzi’s popular science explanations.

However, because she had not officially joined the Mutual Aid Association, Juzi could not tell her information about some sensitive members. All Black knew was the general idea of Fungal Demons, as well as the color characteristics of the main Power of Life in the Mutual Aid Association, which were quite numerous.

“There are red mist threads on top of the demons’ heads. I am the same as you, possessing a relatively rare Power of Life.” Little An narrated simply, guessing that Sister Yao and Liu Shuzhi would still listen in a daze.

Yes, the two of them could not see the red mist of the Fungal Demons, nor could they see the various colored mists of the Power of Life. They could only guess with awe that what Daoist experts saw with their eyes was indeed different… naturally feeling it was awesome without understanding it.

“Do you think I’ll believe it just because you say so?” Black snorted, pretending not to care.

Little An gestured to Chen Fengshi, pointing in the direction of the elevator. The meaning was clear: let him withdraw first, and leave this place to her.

Chen Fengshi also felt there was nothing to say to this stubborn, aggressive, and distrustful woman. Besides, with Liu Shuzhi and Sister Yao present, there were concerns about communication, so he led the two of them and directly withdrew.

After they left, Black felt secretly happy, considering finding an opportunity to directly attack and capture Little An, absorbing her Power of Life that was the same color as a Fungal Demon.

However, while she was still thinking about it, she suddenly saw the red mist on Little An’s body turn into Black Mist, exactly the same as hers!

Thus, Black was instantly dumbfounded…

Little An squatted in front of her, smiled, and asked her: “Do you still have doubts now? The Black Power of Life is very strong. Its combat power is currently known to rank second. Can it absorb other Powers of Life? Or does it quickly kill the cellular activity of other Powers of Life?”

“I don’t know… I haven’t met any companions. I just came to Xuancheng from my small hometown. Are you really not demons? Then, then why are you helping demons?” Black was truly scared by Little An. The sudden change into the same Power of Life as hers, plus the Golden Power of Life from earlier whose combat power was shockingly fierce, made her realize that the Golden one who left would be very hard to beat, and the one in front of her was just as unfathomable. So, she could only smoothly continue her earlier disguise, as if she had no choice but to put down her hostility when facing the facts.

“What should I call you? Oh, it’s best if it’s not your real name. For safety, we use aliases that symbolize the color of our power. You can call me Little An.”

“Ye Weiyang, just call me Ye Weiyang.” Black became extremely docile and obedient at this time.

“Can you stand up?” Little An helped her up, then suggested: “How about we change places and chat while eating?”

“I’m not familiar with Xuancheng, I’ll follow you.” Ye Weiyang’s current behavior was simply like two different people compared to just now.

Little An actually didn’t have a good first impression of her, but she also felt her resilience was amazing. After hearing her simple self-introduction, she felt she could understand her lonely panic, plus the loss of a best friend, and her paranoid hatred that loathed Fungal Demons.

After chatting for a while, Ye Weiyang suddenly shifted the topic to Chen Fengshi.

“Little An, who was that man just now? Is his Power of Life the most powerful?”

“Don’t ask about other people’s business. As for the Power of Life, each has its own strengths. If you are able to fight together in the future, there might be a time when you fight alongside him.” Little An was not someone who would reveal everything. If it weren’t for the fact that the operation to eliminate Fungal Demons was currently underway and manpower was very important, and that Ye Weiyang was a woman, she wouldn’t have made contact so quickly in person in the past.

But it was different now. The more she understood about Fungal Demons, the more she felt that the cooperation with Queen Huang was itself a long-distance race-like contest. She could no longer lead the Demon Extermination Association to develop in a small-group way just for their own amusement. So she reconciled with Copper Coin earlier to achieve cooperation with the Mutual Aid Association; immediately after, she planned to use shared information to accelerate the grand Alliance of nationwide companions originally initiated by the Yangcheng companions; now, of course, she had to unite as many effective forces as possible.

Ye Weiyang quickly and excitedly stated: “I can do it, Little An! I came to find more Fungal Demons to destroy them! That’s why I came to Xuancheng! I don’t know anyone here, but I felt that one of the biggest cities in the country must have a lot of demons too! So I just came, came alone, with no relatives to rely on, no friends to ask for help, not much money to secure the future, but I still had to come, just to eliminate Fungal Demons!”

To be honest, Little An was almost moved by her spirit.

However, Little An did not lose her due caution because of this. She asked where she was currently staying and for her contact information. She gave her three red paper bricks and said: “Take these to use first. Wanting to eliminate Fungal Demons is simple. When you feel ready to join the fight, I can let you participate in the demon extermination operation at any time. Take this money, rent a place, and settle yourself down first.”

“I can do it right now! I can! I can fight right now! I want to fight!” Ye Weiyang’s active attitude toward fighting indeed matched the story she had made up.

But although Little An was in urgent need of people, she was not desperate to this extent. So she comforted her by saying: “You should rest first. You got hurt tonight. Moreover, the operation here was planned early on. If you join the fight now, it will instead affect our original plan. Let’s do it tomorrow. Wait until you are settled tomorrow, and if you want to participate in the demon extermination operation, I’ll add you.”

“Little An, I really can fight right away. I will obey all your commands! I’ll do whatever you say, and I definitely won’t be a burden…” Ye Weiyang certainly didn’t want to wait until tomorrow. The more she was outside Little An’s plan, the more information she could learn. Waiting until tomorrow would mean just following the routine and walking to the rhythm of Little An’s plan.

“Your feelings are understandable, but there are many companions. Adjusting the plan temporarily because of you will affect a lot of people. You don’t want that, do you?” How could Little An make an exception so easily? Even if she was a woman and her commendable spirit earned her some bonus points, she couldn’t possibly open the doors of the Demon Extermination Association without even conducting a basic background check.

Thinking back then, even Chen Fengshi was accepted because of Little Family Beauty, plus he was originally from Xuancheng. A detailed background check took time, but the general situation could be grasped with a quick check.

Ye Weiyang did not continue to pester, knowing it would easily backfire. She feigned disappointment, sighed, and said: “Alright…” Then, with a face full of pleading, she said: “Definitely add me tomorrow! My mind is full of eliminating Fungal Demons, eliminating Fungal Demons every day!”

“Okay! I will definitely add you tomorrow.” Little An got on the motorcycle and took her leave.

On the way, she sent Ye Weiyang’s photo to Canyue.
