Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 572 Reunion

The air froze for a moment.

Ye Qing, who was already extremely vigilant, jumped to the back window like a startled rabbit when she heard someone ring the doorbell, ready to escape at any moment.

With her nerves on edge, she didn't listen to the sound at all.

Who is it? Why didn't I sense anything when I got to the door? Lydia's group? No, if it were them, they wouldn't be speaking so politely...

Ye Qing's mind raced as she quietly opened the window and began to sift through the forces of the people outside.

Ai Liang, standing at the door, saw everything Ye Qing was doing inside.

But he also knew that if he rashly opened the door and went in at this time, it would only provoke the other party.

So Ai Liang sighed and spoke again, "It's me, Ai Liang."

A familiar voice, a familiar name.

But what it evoked was not Ye Qing's affection, but rather fear and anger.

"Impossible! What did you do to him?!"

Anxious and worried, Ye Qing instinctively wanted to rush to the door and question Ai Liang.

But reason stopped her once again.

What has already happened cannot be changed, and rushing in at this time will only play into their hands.

Ye Qing took a deep breath, trying to maintain a calm tone: "Who exactly are you?"

"..."

Ai Liang was stunned.

Ye Qing's concern for his safety made him very happy.

But how can he prove that he is himself?

"Open the door first... I will explain everything to you, including my background and true identity."

Ai Liang could only use such ambiguous words to first induce Ye Qing to open the door voluntarily.

He didn't want to see Ye Qing get hurt by acting rashly due to her emotions.

After a while, the door opened.

Ye Qing was sitting far from the door, her face tense as she looked out.

But when she saw Ai Liang's face clearly, she was stunned.

Ye Qing initially thought that someone had kidnapped Ai Liang and was impersonating him to deceive her, but the person who appeared at the door was indeed Ai Liang.

Whether it was her demeanor, physique, tone of voice, or the familiar scent she left behind for Ai Liang before she left.

They were exactly the same Ai Liang I remembered.

Don't be fooled by how easily Hei Shuizi, Ai Liang, and Qianmianren can disguise themselves as someone else.

In other factions, very few people can do this. Apart from a very few weirdos who specialize in mimicry, only those who reach the threshold of becoming a fusion warrior can transform.

Moreover, simply transforming into someone else's appearance can cause irreversible damage to the body.

Except for some extremely important special missions, no one is willing to voluntarily become another person.

If it devoured Ai Liang's original body to imitate her, then the aura it left behind should also dissipate.

In other words, the Ai Liang in front of me is the real Ai Liang.

Ye Qing wavered.

Ye Qing raised her hand in disbelief, as if to grab Ai Liang, but stopped as soon as she took the first step.

Ye Qing withdrew her hand, gripping her left arm tightly and biting her lip as she asked, "Why, why are you here, A Liang...?"

Ai Liang closed the doors and windows and slowly approached Ye Qing: "I've come to find you."

With each step Ai Liang took forward, Ye Qing took a step back until her back hit the wall.

Ye Qing looked at Ai Liang, her eyes filled with disappointment and despair.

"So, you knew my identity from the very beginning, right?"

"……Um."

"You approached me also just to capture me?"

"……Um?"

Ai Liang was a little confused.

Ye Qing looked up, tears welling in her eyes: "From the moment we met until now, everything has been arranged by you. What you wanted wasn't Ye Qing, but DX818A, right?"

Girl, have you misunderstood something?
Ai Liang sighed softly and slowly walked up to Ye Qing.

This soft sigh plunged Ye Qing's heart into despair.

She lowered her head, no longer looking at Ai Liang's face.

Two tears fell onto the carpet, but quickly disappeared.

Boom!
"It hurts!" Ye Qing cried out, clutching her forehead.

Before Ye Qing could raise her head to question Ai Liang, a pair of strong arms pulled her into a broad chest.

Ai Liang withdrew her fingers and hugged Ye Qing: "Don't overthink it. I am who I am, and you are who you are. I don't know anything about DX818A. I know you are Ye Qing and Xia Zhi, and that's enough."

No matter who comes, I will not hand you over to them.

"Why...why did you come here to find me! Do you know how dangerous this is!"

Ye Qing nestled against Ai Liang's chest, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "If you do this, won't everything I've done be meaningless?"

To avoid implicating Ai Liang, Ye Qing chose to leave alone.

In order to find her, Ai Liang chose to travel hundreds of kilometers to catch up with her.

In the end, the two of them simply returned to where they started.

Ai Liang cupped Ye Qing's face in her hands and used her thumb to wipe away her tears, saying earnestly, "Our meeting was a chance encounter, but I want to keep this chance encounter going."

Ye Qing cried even harder after hearing this. She pounded Ai Liang's chest with her right hand while turning her left hand into a claw.

"Idiot! You big idiot! Do you even know what you're doing?! I'm an experimental subject of a super organization, I'm not even human!"

See? I'm just a monster! Even so, you still…

Ai Liang lowered her head and used the most direct method to shut Ye Qing up.

That was his answer.

Their lips met, and Ye Qing's mind went blank until Ai Liang released her mouth, bringing her back to her senses.

"What a coincidence, I might not be human either."

Ai Liang raised her hand, mimicking Ye Qing's right hand, and slowly pressed her left hand, which transformed into a claw, against it: "So it's not a big deal for monsters to develop feelings for each other, is it?"

Ye Qing looked at the hand clasped in hers and stammered, "I...you...this is..."

Ye Qing had always treated Ai Liang as an ordinary person.

But Ai Liang's performance at this moment completely refreshed her understanding.

"The story might be a bit long, would you like to hear it?"

Ai Liang put her arm around Ye Qing and slowly walked to the bedside to sit down.

Ye Qing said with a struggling expression, "But now I..."

Ai Liang knew what Ye Qing wanted to say and explained in advance, "Don't worry about Lydia and her group, I've already taken care of them."

"It's... all taken care of?" Ye Qing was completely confused.

Ai Liang stroked Ye Qing's hair: "Yes, I've dealt with all three defectors from Lydia's side, Chuck and his colleagues from the Sea Heart Society, Peng Yuan, and the fusion warrior Geese who came to pick them up."

Ye Qing looked at Ai Liang with a worried expression: "But that outside helper is a fusion warrior... Are you not injured?"

"Don't worry, it's just a fusion warrior. Taking it out is actually quite simple."

Ai Liang chuckled and took Ye Qing's restless little hand in his: "Although I don't know where my combat strength ranks in the world, it should be a little stronger than most apostles."
