Chapter 1683 Making a Plan
Before anyone else could speak, Ekaterina expressed her dissatisfaction with Lianyi's lateness.

Lian Yi said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry for making everyone wait for me. It's my fault. I will come earlier next time."

Neither Jim nor Vincent said anything, except once in a while it wasn't enough to make them angry.

Then the four of them drove to the patrol area. Because of the previous appearance of the demonized people, the hunter organization had strengthened patrols in some sensitive areas.

Especially after Klinsmann developed the antidote for "Paradise", a large part of the hidden dangers have been eliminated, but there are still some humans who have become irreversibly demonized, and even taking the antidote is useless. These demonized people are the targets of the Shadow Hunters.

They were paired up in pairs, patrolling an alley with a distance of fifty meters between them.

Vincent and Lianyi were talking incoherently, but their eyes were still looking around vigilantly. Because of the blessing of the divine text, they could see things even in the dark, and they could see very clearly.

Suddenly, Lianyi's ears moved and she said to Vincent:

"Jim and the others are in trouble, let's go help them."

Vincent also heard the noise coming from the front at this time, and immediately ran towards the place where the accident happened.

At this time, Jim and Ekaterina were dealing with five demonized people who came out from nowhere, and it was obvious that Ekaterina was attacked more.

Lianyi's eyes flashed, and she immediately flashed to Yekaterina's side, swung her sword to block the sharp claws of the demonized man, and then whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Pretend to be injured."

At this time, Ekaterina was just knocking another demonized man away with a stick. After hearing Lianyi's words, she paused for a moment. Then, when the demonized man rushed towards her again, she used the power of the other's claws to fly backwards and hit the wall of the alley.

"Ekaterina!"

Jim exclaimed and quickened his movements. He worked with Vincent to deal with the demonized man who had been blocking him. He turned and ran towards the injured Ekaterina, who had already fainted.

Lian Yi swung his sword and cut the demonized man in half, then immediately came to his teammates and said apologetically:
"It's my fault. I didn't cooperate well with Ekaterina and let her get hurt."

Jim frowned tightly, picked up Princess Ekaterina, and said to Lianyi and Vincent:

"I'll take Ekaterina back to headquarters first. You two can continue patrolling."

"But."

Vincent wanted to say that this was against the rules. This was a team mission, and now there were two people missing, and they were novices. What if they ran into trouble?
But Jim was obviously more concerned about the situation of his partner, and interrupted rudely:
"Don't say buts. We have already completed two-thirds of the patrol distance. The remaining one-third should be within the two of you. You have been following us to familiarize yourself with the environment. Sooner or later, you will have to carry out missions alone. This time should be just a start."

After saying this, he drove away with Ekaterina without waiting for the two to nod.

Vincent could only withdraw his hand, shrugged at Lianyi and said:

"It's clear that we're not as important as Ekaterina."

"You don't even need to tell me. They've been partners for a long time, not to mention they're childhood sweethearts. It's normal for Jim to be more nervous about Ekaterina, so stop complaining.

Jim was right. Sooner or later, we will have to carry out missions independently. Let's treat today as our first attempt. Let's go!"

Ripple patted Vincent's shoulder and walked into the darkness first.

Vincent scratched his curly hair and followed suit.

After the two successfully completed the rest of the patrol, they returned to headquarters.

"Vincent, go and hand in the task first. I'll go check on Ekaterina."

Ripple said to her partner.

"Okay, I'll come to you after I finish the task." After the two separated, Lianyi went to the medical room. If Yekaterina understood what she meant, she should wait in the medical room.

After knocking on the door and entering, I saw Philot, who was writing furiously at his desk. I didn't know what he was writing. He took the time to look up at Lianyi and said:

"Ekaterina is in there, go and have a look! I sent Jim away."

"Ok."

Lianyi walked into the inner lounge and saw Ekaterina lying on the bed. She also heard the noise, opened her eyes and sat up after seeing it was Lianyi.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay, I just broke two ribs. Master Philot has healed me, but he sent Jim away and asked me to stay here, saying he wanted to observe for one night."

"Okay, I'll make it short then."

Lianyi had already noticed Ekaterina's awkwardness, and it was obvious that Philot had already told her about his unreliable method of diverting Jim's attention.

"Master Philot has already told me."

Yekaterina said after a light cough.

“Don’t listen to him, his methods are unreliable and may arouse suspicion.

If I really have feelings for Jim, we would have had plenty of opportunities to improve our relationship before, so why did I choose to approach him now? This would only alert him."

Yekaterina looked much more relaxed after hearing this, then she looked at Lianyi and said:

"So how do you plan to distract Jim?"

"It's simple. Your injury this time is a good opportunity."

Lianyi showed her small white teeth and smiled cunningly.

Yekaterina blinked, as if she had thought of something, and said uncertainly:

"Do you mean to take advantage of my injury to make things worse?"

"No, you're ruining our relationship. From now on, whenever we're in the same group, we'll be at loggerheads."

Ripples straightforward description.

"us?"

Ekaterina didn't understand for a moment.

"Yes, we! This time you can say that your injury was caused by my carelessness when I was supporting you and my failure to cooperate well. Otherwise, how could an experienced hunter like you get injured?
This excuse is very reasonable and has no loopholes. From now on, whenever our team is performing a mission, you should criticize me as much as possible, and then complain to Jim from time to time, so that he feels that you are paying more attention to me, and then he can start the next step.

You have been with him for such a long time, but he did nothing. I guess it is because he was getting familiar with the environment or looking for an opportunity to strike. Secondly, it is your intentional or unintentional surveillance that made him alert.

You were attacked in the alley today, and Jim's intention was obviously to seriously injure you and then take the opportunity to get out of your sight."

After listening to Lian Yi's analysis, Yekaterina instantly understood Lian Yi's intention. She immediately nodded and said:

"No problem. The more we fight each other, the more unexpected it will be when we join forces."

Lianyi smiled and nodded. It seemed that the other party fully understood what she meant.

"Then let's act out tomorrow and see what he wants to do."

"I see. Master Philot has told me that he has contacted Wizard Klinsmann. When everything is almost settled, he will use the excuse of asking Wizard Klinsmann to maintain the defensive magic circle, and then take down the opponent."
