"It's him again!"
Inside the temple, the silhouette monster's black aura vibrated violently, betraying his extreme rage.
His appearance on this timeline had far too great an impact!
With that thought, the silhouette monster cast a resentful glance at the person sitting opposite him.
"Duan Chen?"
"The mistake I made once, I will not make a second time."
Duan Chen's expression was icy, and he spoke coldly.
The Rubik's Cube Cabin was essentially a small personal space of Mo'er Beisi. Regardless of whether you were an Apostle or anyone else, if you hadn't obtained permission, you couldn't get in.
Duan Chen brought Jia Yunlian out of the Rubik's Cube Cabin, emptied the basement of anything containing water, threw away all the mirrors, and even sealed off the faucets.
He was becoming increasingly curious about Jia Yunlian's relationship with Apostle No. 05, enough to make a high-and-mighty Apostle intervene twice to save her.
Duan Chen grew even more certain of his suspicion: Jia Yunlian's relationship with Apostle No. 05 was undoubtedly deeper than he had imagined.
The reason Jia Yunlian had chosen to stay in Mirror City back then was likely for Apostle No. 05.
But besides Niya, who else could make Jia Yunlian so desperate?
Could it be her husband? If that were the case, then everything would make sense.
However, Duan Chen still felt that something was not quite right.
He felt as if he had overlooked something.
With no time to ponder further, Duan Chen shook his head and left the basement.
Dawn was breaking, and it was almost time for the Spirit Hunter agents to start their shifts. Duan Chen couldn't wait and immediately contacted You Jiawei by phone, stating that he had obtained the map to Moon Ridge Village.
"So quickly? Are we still going to find Wang Han?"
Wang Han?
Duan Chen glanced at the deceased Anya beside him and vaguely explained the situation to her.
"..."
You Jiawei was silent for a long moment.
"Coming right away."
"Captain, are we all going?"
Duan Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "There are too many people, it's easy to alert the enemy."
He then looked at Hill, his eyes asking which team members she wanted to bring.
"Hmm... Tu Fei Yuan and Wei Er Ben Ya, then."
"Understood, Young Miss." Both acknowledged without issue.
"Yuan Yuan, Jun Ci, you two will come with me."
"Huh? Me?" Yuan Yuan looked quite surprised.
In terms of support, he couldn't compare to Yuan Qingqing, and in terms of combat, he wasn't as good as Qin Nanyuan. Yuan Yuan didn't quite understand why Duan Chen wanted to bring him along.
"Your weak point aiming is decent, and you can cooperate with Jun Ci for a surprise attack. Yuan Qingqing, before we leave, could I trouble you to prepare some food? Simple is fine, like rice or something."
"No problem."
"What about me?" Qin Nanyuan pouted, somewhat displeased.
"Heh heh, your ability consumes too much spiritual energy. Who knows what we'll encounter in Moon Ridge Village? I think you should stay here and guard the house honestly."
Jun Ci placed her hands on her hips and patted Qing Mei's head.
"Get lost!"
Duan Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"Jun Ci is right. Your ability consumes spiritual energy, and Yuan Qingqing has limited time to prepare food, so she might not be able to make much. With your rate of spiritual energy consumption, those things will likely be in your stomach before long."
"Alright then." Qin Nanyuan, despite her reluctance, could only nod obediently.
There were no arguments from Hill's side. The team members followed her commands without question. Those who received orders stood behind her, and those who didn't simply stayed put, showing no dissatisfaction.
It was absolute obedience.
Soon, You Jiawei arrived, with a girl trailing behind her.
The girl had a fruit-flavored lollipop in her mouth, and her eyes lit up when she saw Duan Chen.
"Really? He can copy abilities?"
After Duan Chen used You Jiawei's "Ten Thousand Fists Unified," she was certain that this man's ability was to copy the powers of others.
Upon hearing this, more than ten pairs of eyes fixed on him, their expressions questioning: "Is that true?"
"Captain..."
Jun Ci and Yuan Yuan hugged each other tightly. They had used their abilities so many times in front of Duan Chen; had he seen everything?
Duan Chen's face twitched. "That's enough, stop pretending to be so pure!"
The two of them almost cried on the spot.
He looked at the girl beside You Jiawei. She was wearing a cute little dress, petite in stature, with her long hair naturally falling to her shoulders. Her face was as delicate as a doll's, and her large eyes blinked at Duan Chen.
"Who is this...?"
Duan Chen dared not underestimate her; he sensed a not-insignificant amount of spiritual energy from the girl.
"Ice City Spirit Hunter Guild, Chief Senior Agent, Du Qingyi, 24 years old."
"Her? 24? And Chief Senior Agent?"
Tu Fei Yuan, with a human-like head, poked out from on top of Duan Chen's head, looking skeptical.
Every time You Jiawei saw this face, she felt an urge to punch it...
"Yes, 24 years old, Chief Senior Agent of the Ice City Spirit Hunter Guild," Du Qingyi repeated.
"My ability is... I won't tell you."
"You absolutely cannot steal Boss's ability," You Jiawei glanced at Duan Chen meaningfully.
Duan Chen was astonished. He could copy Wu Suo Wei's ability, but not Du Qingyi's? He was merely surprised, not doubtful. The world was full of strange occurrences, and You Jiawei was definitely not someone who would spout nonsense.
"You call her Boss?"
As soon as Tu Fei Yuan finished speaking, he regretted it. Du Qingyi unceremoniously pulled him into her embrace and began to squeeze him, her eyes shining.
"Such a cute little cat!"
The others stared at her with disgust.
Are you sure?
For a moment, Duan Chen couldn't tell if she was complimenting Jia Ren Gui or Tu Fei Yuan.
"I won't go this time. I'm staying at the Spirit Hunter Guild. Boss will go with you. She also knows some things about the Evil Gods."
"Alright." Duan Chen nodded slightly.
