Oh no, I have become a character in the card pool?

Chapter 115: Following closely, slowly but firmly following

Just as the two of them exchanged information.

After confirming that the one who was chasing and planning the attack was the [Abyss Brigade], they were all a little worried and were about to embark on a journey to find the spirit bond user/the one to be protected.

A hissing sound.

A white head with a hood on but an expressionless face emerged from the bushes not far away.

As if she heard the noise disappear and the battle was over, she poked her head out of the grass like a cautious cub to observe the current situation.

——And those red eyes remained calm throughout the whole night, no matter whether they were being chased or in the process of lurking and hunting.

But when he saw the black-haired boy appear in his sight.

A bright wave emerged.

"Lin Xuan."

The girl called out softly, as if she had returned to a safe haven. Her vigilance towards the surroundings relaxed instantly, and her tense back became soft again.

He was carrying a black metal sniper rifle that was more than a meter tall, and was dragging a hooded, unconscious person with one hand.

She took small steps and ran out.

The danger of tonight, the pressure of being targeted by a behemoth like the abyss, and all the fatigue and slight worries accumulated in the petite body.

The moment he saw Lin Xuan, he did not hold him back because of his death.

It seemed like it all made sense.

So, Xia Shimi smiled, even though it was a very faint smile, like a flash in the pan, it only appeared for a very brief moment and was covered by the shadow of the hood.

But she hadn't had such an expression for a long time since that sad tragedy.

"."

"."

Looking at the white-haired girl who was running out with thumping steps, and the two bodies being dragged.

Silence filled the night woods for a moment, even the sound of the wind was noisy.

".Lin Xuan?"

After running in, Xia Shimi tilted her head in confusion, and when she found that Lin Xuan was still staring at her in a daze without saying a word.

His expression couldn't help but reveal a bit of uneasiness.

He looked down at the blood-stained marks on the hooded cloak.

As well as the two conspicuous cloaked men, they were knocked unconscious and are still unconscious.

She explained, "These people are terrorists from the 'Devil's Abyss'. They call themselves the Abyss Brigade, and have allowed parts of their bodies to be contaminated."

"Compared to humans, they are closer to the Abyssbloods whose entities are broken."

The white-haired girl spoke with a somewhat uneasy tone, her eyes slightly dodging as she whispered, "I have tried my best to leave some alive."

"But if some people are not dealt with, I cannot guarantee that I can remain hidden forever."

Lin Xuan is clearly more friendly towards human civilization.

Whether it is assisting the Demonic Ghost Domain government in its conquest, or its attitude towards the alliance, it can be seen between the lines.

The attitude of other contracted spirits summoned from the broken time and space towards humans is more like "Although my world is destroyed, you and I are of the same race, so please help in any way you can."

But Lin Xuan was slightly different.

She couldn't tell what the differences were.

However, when the other party treats the alliance, they often subconsciously reveal a hint of nostalgia.

It’s like seeing the young shoots you planted with your own hands grow into towering trees.

Even if many branches may grow crooked.

After all, it was also a closeness that he had invested his feelings in, so it was difficult to completely give up. Even if he criticized it harshly, it was more like a feeling of regret.

and so.

Xia Shimi is now worried that it is because she killed a "person" rather than those broken entities that the other party feels a little unhappy.

"Anyway, Lin Xuan, I just want to..." Xia Shimi lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, and whispered in a weaker voice.

but.

A hand covered her head, but touched it lovingly and gently.

"You did a great job, Shiya."

A gentle voice sounded.

Lin Xuan squatted down, leveled his eyes with the petite white-haired girl, and smiled as if to dilute her uneasiness.

He said calmly, "It's okay to kill this kind of trash. Just leave a few alive. If it were me, I might not be able to leave any alive."

He casually took over the unconscious figure that the girl was holding in each hand.

It's like throwing away dirty things like garbage.

He casually threw it aside. It seemed that he didn't control the force well and fell heavily on the tree trunk, making a muffled groan, but this is a small detail and don't need to be paid attention to.

"Sorry, my business has been delayed for a long time." Lin Xuan smiled apologetically.

He really didn't expect that he had just stepped into the new map not long ago.

I was busy conquering the temporary copy of the Starry White Tower and didn't bother to provoke the map bosses. I was trying to be as cautious as possible.

But the [Abyss] could react so quickly.

And it was done with precision - taking advantage of his temporary absence, she identified Xia Shimi as a weakness and tried to eliminate her first.

But fortunately.

For some reason, the Abyss did not kill him directly this time. Or maybe it was very strange.

As if he didn't dare.

As if it didn't want to make too much noise, it sneaked around and only sent expendable non-staff members like the 'Abyss Brigade'.

Give it a try. If you succeed, you’ll make a lot of money. If you fail, you won’t lose anything.

It was as if if the situation got a little bigger, someone would discover it and stop it in advance.

Let's put aside this strange intuition.
Xia Shimi's performance in this battle also far exceeded Lin Xuan's expectations.

Even though the Knight Commander beside him was delayed and stared at by the malicious power of Broken Time and Space, and was besieged by more than a dozen experienced spirit masters.

She still persisted until Lin Xuan returned.

Not only that.

Xia Shimi, who now blames herself for not doing better, probably doesn't realize it.

Even if it was just cleaning up some ordinary trash that were "left behind" for her, she believed that Alexa was the one who faced the biggest threat.

However - these nearly twenty members of the Abyss Brigade are blessed by the abyss, have lost their humanity, and use treacherous methods.

He is a human traitor who has been at large for more than a decade, leaving countless experienced spirit masters helpless.

Compared to when we first met.

Unknowingly, she had been following Lin Xuan closely, and had made great progress in both strength and mentality.

Lin Xuan looked at the white-haired girl in front of him with her belt raised, as if he was seeing those legends that appeared in front of him when he drew cards countless times.

Even if it is still in its tender and young form.
However, it already gave him a vague sense of familiarity.

"Anyway, I'm back."

As if to make up for the missed greeting, Lin Xuan patted the girl's shoulder and smiled lightly in a relaxed tone.

Xia Shimi was stunned for a moment.

Immediately.

The young face under her hood nodded, a faint brightness flowed in her eyes, and her indifferent voice without ups and downs returned to its original state, and she spoke softly.

"Well, welcome back."

"Lin Xuan."

=====
A chaotic commotion ended.

But just like a wave, after it subsides, it will create another wave. In the stable war zone, this level of riots has not broken out for seven or eight years.

There were quite a few aftermaths afterwards.

For example, the members of the brigade who turned themselves in were all served by a special person with the "Great Memory Restoration Technique", and they gave away many locations. Princess Leilin was in charge of the follow-up.

A severe mopping-up operation was carried out at lightning speed, and several traitor strongholds that were hiding and not exposing their tracks were eradicated one after another.

Leilin seemed to feel very guilty about the fact that Xia Shimi was in danger because of her.

Therefore, in the subsequent cleaning operation, she can be said to have followed up the entire process herself.

Rats are disgusting only in the shadows.

When exposed, they are just insignificant stains that can be easily wiped off.

——I’m afraid those traitors never thought before their death how they, with their limited strength, could attract an epic-level spirit to take action personally.

No, is it necessary?

This is not the way you use a cannon to kill a mosquito. The map cannon will sweep away everything without leaving any residue!
According to Lin Xuan.

It seems that a lot of information was also collected from those strongholds, which has been of great help to the research on the abyss by the war zone government of the "Demon's Abyss Realm" in recent years.

At the same time, a whole list of traitors was drawn up, which dealt a heavy blow to those traitors.

However, these things have nothing to do with Lin Xuan, who gave himself a vacation.

He is now enjoying a rare leisure time.

Just kidding, he had just recently forced himself to relive the painful experience of preparing for the college entrance examination because one of his target had a strict "academic qualification requirement".

That's nearly two years! Even if he was a hardcore gamer, it was a bit too much.

Now I finally got a break.

It is natural to skip this kind of episode where the world view and plot run on their own - no, we should choose to trust the Alliance's ability to handle it and entrust our will to the successor to exercise.

but
It turns out.

If those who should be busy get busy, things will come one after another.

"I don't have enough materials. In order to complete the task I agreed to with you, I have to go on a long journey."

On this day, when Lin Xuan was still staying in an open space not far behind the garrison base, he repeatedly trained the new skill he had learned not long ago [The Blood-Boiling Law Fusion Technique].

A figure with long silver-white hair opened several hexagrams in the air, connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.

A faint voice sounded at the same time.

Compared to a certain fox's teleportation skill that consumes mana at every turn.

Lovina's space magic would consume less space if used for teleportation within a short distance, which is better in terms of strategic convenience.

but.

With just one glance at the Fox-eared Priestess's skills, even if you are at the other ends of the world, you can reach the destination with just one teleport.

All I can say is that this is the power of a legendary spirit.

Each has its own advantages, but it is regrettable that they are so similar in cheating performance.

Saw Rowena appear in mid-air.

Before Lin Xuan could respond to her, as if he had guessed something, he quickly turned around and jumped towards the direction where she was about to land!
——As expected, the young witch who had just come out of her makeshift laboratory fell to the ground with an expressionless face.

After several unsuccessful attempts to adjust her posture, she successfully let herself fall face first due to the poor motor coordination of her limbs.

This is not the first time this has happened since leaving the Star White Tower.

It would be easy if you took the initiative to draw the magic circle in detail.

However, if it is used passively due to living habits, it will often lead to some subtle errors due to the differences in the White Pagoda environment.

Lovina frowned.

As she breathed, a glimmer of light appeared on her fingertips, but she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye.

Then the glimmer of light disappeared as if it had never appeared, very naturally.

"Hey, this is the nth time."

Lin Xuan easily crossed dozens of meters, caught the witch's light body in mid-air, held her in his arms, and landed steadily.

He said helplessly, "You can obviously use voice transmission magic to call me over, but you always come here in person."

"If I hadn't reacted quickly the day before yesterday, I would have been afraid that you would have teleported yourself into the lake and drowned because you couldn't swim."

This is of course an exaggeration.

Although her athletic ability is as pathetic as her ability to manage her life, if she is in danger, she can summon a fire to burn the entire lake dry.

However, Lin Xuan seriously suspected that this guy did it on purpose.

Why does it always look like this every time?

He would go wherever there was danger, which forced him to be distracted during the training process and save the witch lady from danger several times.

Could it be that he got used to dying in the White Tower and developed a habit of not taking his life seriously?

And now, Rowena's clothes are no longer the combination of the iconic witch hat and exquisite black gauze evening dress that she wore when she was summoned in the past or in the White Tower of Stars.

The previous attack in Senlin City ended quickly even after the barrier was strengthened.

But many people still witnessed his figure.

And the image of Lovina, whether it is the magic that is as star-like or the long silver-white hair that is as smooth as silk.

Still the symbol of wisdom and omniscience, the exquisite black tulle evening dress.

They are all too iconic - and too famous in the "Demon's Abyss Realm". Even if it is a cosplay, one dare not tarnish this great spirit.

If the laws of this war zone had not restricted technology, resulting in limited range of image dissemination.

I'm afraid that its appearance within just a few minutes will directly set off a wave of public opinion in this war zone, whether it is civilians or the government!

If that is the case.

Apart from anything else, at least Lin Xuan can't expect to live in peace.

Therefore, under his strong suggestion, Rowena changed her clothes to a white witch hat and a light-colored robe that was as light and soft as a magician's.

He personally put the star-shaped six-pointed star earrings on the girl.

Lovina resisted at first, but after putting it on she stared at the mirror for a few seconds.

In the end, he quietly became a puppet and allowed Lin Xuan to manipulate him.

Hum~!

I originally wanted to draw cards in the mobile game, but I used the resources I saved to get the exclusive skin ['Star Mark' Witch·Magic Apprentice Period·Lovina].

The pain of losing the resources was subtly alleviated by the fact that the replacement looked really good.

——Don’t I know what kind of dress you like?

"Just like I said." Luo Wei Na raised her eyes to look at Lin Xuan and repeated calmly: "Because I don't have enough materials, I'm going on a long journey."

"You're going to continue discussing this while you're in this position? Really?"

Lin Xuan looked at the girl whom he was carrying like a princess, and spoke in a strange tone.

Because he was intercepting her in mid-air, in order not to hurt the witch lady's frail body, he could only adopt this posture to catch her.

But we haven’t let this go yet, are we going to move on to the real business?

So dedicated.

This is a researcher with amazing concentration.

"What is that object?" Lin Xuan asked casually, preparing to put down the witch who was leaning in his arms and seemed to show signs of not wanting to get up by her own strength.

"Come to think of it, you've been in seclusion for half a month since you said you had something special to study."

"There's not enough material this time. Does that mean this project is finally going to be completed?"

The reason why we are temporarily resting at the garrison base.

It was not just because Lin Xuan wanted to take a break, but also to find the other two contracted spirits, recuperate, recuperate, and gather information.

Another reason.
——It was because Rowena asked him to wait a little longer, saying that she had to give him something.

The witch lady with long silver hair landed on the ground, and seemed to be reluctant to leave the embrace, then she stood up with her own muscles.

She looked at Lin Xuan with her calm sky-blue eyes and said in a rational tone, "Well, the project that is missing the materials is your 'new heart'."

Lin Xuan: "?"

Wait, my what?
