The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Because she clearly heard that the voice coming from under the fox mask was exactly the same as her own.

"Huh?" Ella then noticed that her voice had also changed.

The Omnidirectional Ring's mimicry ability allows Ella to transform into one of up to three objects that are recorded after she touches them.

However, Ella only tried activating it while wearing the mask, and unexpectedly, her voice changed as well.

She removed her fox mask and then conjured a mirror-like surface formed by flowing water in her hand.

Ella has an affinity for water elements, so thanks to Ye Xiao's mastery of elemental magic, she can easily use these minor water spells.

The mirror reflected a girl with shoulder-length black hair, a delicate face, and the appearance of someone who seemed about to cry at any moment.

And this is exactly the image of Yu Tong in front of us.

"you you……"

The girl looked at Ella and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Then, she saw the other person reveal a kind of teasing, alluring smile that she would never show.

"Now, let me introduce myself, little sister."

……

About two hours later.

In the misty southern district, there is an old house next to an old street.

This is a branch of the Grizzly Guild in the South District. When the guild needs to do some dirty work in secret, it is naturally impossible to openly transport people or things that are not convenient for others to know back to headquarters for processing.

Therefore, these hidden secret outposts were created, specifically for red-named players in guilds to carry out shady activities such as interrogation and kidnapping.

At that moment, the burly Wei Ming was inside the house, smoking a hookah, sitting on a wooden stool and looking at Yu Tong, who was hanging in mid-air and covered in blood.

There were several other players in the room with unfriendly expressions, sitting around Yu Tong, seemingly discussing something.

"This guy just absolutely refuses to tell me."

"You brat, aren't you always bragging? Why are you keeping your mouth shut now?"

A player raised his whip and lashed Yu Tongchi's body, leaving several more bloody welts. However, Yu Tongchi, who seemed to be used to being treated this way, remained silent.

"Don't kill him." Wei Ming snorted and took a puff of his cigarette. "If all else fails, we'll have Weng Xiao lead a search party tomorrow. I don't believe we can't find him even if we tear down the whole building."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of approaching hooves suddenly rang out.

"It seems someone's coming, Brother Wei."

"I guess it's Wen Dao." Wei Ming stood up, slightly lifted the curtain covering the window, and saw a tall, thin figure wearing a cloak riding a horse, stopping in front of the door.

A thick hemp sack was carried on horseback. The figure dismounted and carried the sack on his shoulder as well.

"Boom, boom."

Two short knocks and one long knock—about half a minute later, the dark black door slowly opened a crack.

"Wen Dao?"

“It’s me… Brother Wei.” Wen Dao’s voice sounded a little weak. He pushed the door open and carefully placed the sack in his hand on the ground. “This… I found a hidden trapdoor in the chairman’s office later, and this guy was hiding inside.”

Before Wei Ming could react to Wen Dao's words, Yu Tong, who had been thought to be on the verge of death, suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "No, how is this possible...!!"

Seeing Yu Tong's reaction, Wei Ming's lips curled into a cruel smile. "Heh, not bad, Wen Dao. Looks like you've found something good."

Wen Dao swallowed hard, didn't reply, but instead loosened the opening of the cloth bag.

Inside was a petite girl bound hand and foot with hemp rope, a rag in her mouth, and her tear-filled, haggard eyes filled with terror when she saw the fierce-looking, burly men around her.

"Yu Xue!!? Damn it, you bunch of beasts...!!" Yu Tong, hanging from the beam, twisted his body and let out a weak roar.

However, Wei Ming ignored Yu Tong, simply smiled, and looked at the girl in the sack.

"Oh, she has a rather delicate face, and looks so pitiful. I wonder how long she'll cry if I punch her."

He reached out to pinch the girl's face, but Wen Dao grabbed his wrist.

"What do you mean?" Wei Ming looked up in confusion, meeting the gaze of the tall, thin figure. "You don't actually have any sense of justice or chivalry, do you? Don't give me that disgusting nonsense."

“No,” Wen Dao’s voice seemed to tremble slightly, “that… the boss… the boss told us to try not to touch her.”

"Huh? Boss, you're starting to like this type now?" Wei Ming raised an eyebrow. "You're starting to have a soft spot for these little girls?"

"Maybe...maybe, it might be because of that thing..." Wen Dao stammered, then took out a box from his pocket. "This should be the thing the boss is looking for. As for this girl...we'd better not touch her for now."

Wei Ming squinted at the girl in the bag for a while, then took the box from Yu Tong and withdrew his hand. "Alright."

Wen Dao breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He glanced at the girl in the bag and met her gaze, which seemed haggard but was actually impatient. He immediately felt a chill run down his spine and shivered.

Oh dear, do you have to rush me so much...?

Wen Dao was on the verge of tears, and stammered, "Um, Brother Wei, what exactly is this thing that the chairman asked us to find used for?"

Chapter 111 Design

"How would I know? You'll have to ask the president," Wei Ming replied impatiently. "But I suggest you don't ask. This isn't something we should be asking about."

That's not what I wanted to ask...

Noticing Ella's gaze, Wen Dao immediately asked, "Well... now that we have the stuff, shall we hurry up and go find the boss?"

"Hmm... that's fine, but I feel like you're in a bit of a rush, aren't you?" Wei Ming tapped the open box and the branch inside with the recording crystal. "At least let me send a message to the boss first to confirm if this is the thing. Otherwise, we'll all get scolded for making a wasted trip."

"And this girl, drag her over here so I can take a picture." After taking a picture of the tree branch, Wei Ming took out a photo crystal and took a picture of Ella.

Bad.

Wen Dao's throat twitched slightly; he sensed something was wrong.

He realized there might be a flaw here, after all, the thing he just said about bringing "Yu Xue" to the chairman was something he made up himself.

If the president replies that he doesn't need the girl at all, then the whole thing will be exposed.

It's a small matter if Wei Ming notices the mistake, but it's a big deal if it angers the witch next to him.

Then I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave this house alive today.

But watching Wei Ming communicate there, he couldn't think of a better way.

"Hmm? Boss said this girl..." Just then, Wei Ming suddenly spoke up, making Wen Dao tense up again.

The key point is that this guy only said the first half of his sentence, and kept the second half to himself until Wen Dao's eyes were wide open. Wei Ming then laughed and said, "This girl really should be brought along too, hahaha. Look how nervous you are, Wen Dao. You're not afraid that I'll deliberately hide this and steal your credit, are you?"

"How could that be, hahaha." Wen Dao responded with a forced smile, but inwardly he was cursing.

This damn bastard is taking credit for his work; I almost thought I was going to hell to get a household registration.

"As for Yu Tong, just leave him here for now. You guys keep an eye on him, but don't kill him," Wei Ming instructed the remaining men, then reached for the bag containing Ella. "Me and..."

"Hey, I can handle this, no need to trouble Brother Wei!" Wen Dao quickly snatched the bag away.

He didn't want Wei Ming's violent transportation to ruin all his efforts to survive.

“I’m just seeing how hard you’ve worked… Fine, whatever,” Wei Ming waved his hand. “You guys stay here and keep watch. Wen Dao and I will take this guy to see the boss.”

"You beasts!! Let go of Yu Xue, she has nothing to do with this!!!" As he left, Yu Tong looked at the pitiful girl in the sack and shouted a few more times in a heart-wrenching voice.

This was obviously useless, and only resulted in a beating.

"Quiet!"

"Hey, I said don't kill him, are you deaf?!"

"I'm...I'm sorry, Brother Wei."

When the girl in the bag saw her "brother's" miserable state, she shed a few sobs and then the bag was stabbed shut with a knife and she was carried on the shoulder.

"Beast...beast...!"

Watching the figure disappear into the distance, Yu Tong, with blood at the corner of his mouth, cursed weakly.

The sound wasn't loud, but it echoed endlessly in the empty room, like the whispers of a wronged spirit, lingering for a long time.

This continued for about fifteen minutes.

"Damn it, can't you understand when I tell you to be quiet?!" The burly player next to him finally lost his patience with the scolding.

Although Wei Ming had warned them not to kill him, their short tempers couldn't stand having someone constantly cursing them, so they immediately retaliated with another punch.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

"Boom, boom."

Two short and one long.

"What, Brother Wei and the others are back again?" The burly man who was about to beat Yu Tong heard the voice and quickly put his hand down.

"Why are you back so soon? Did you leave something behind?" another player asked in surprise, walking to the door and opening it a crack. "Wei..."

With a loud bang, a fist pierced through the thick door panel and struck him squarely on the forehead.

The poor player rolled four or five meters on the ground, and everyone in the room immediately drew their weapons and looked nervously toward the door.

The door opened quietly, revealing a slender figure wearing a trench coat, with a chubby little cat perched on his shoulder.

“Awooo,” the kitten Greta yawned, “Really, why do we have to clean up after that woman?”

Ye Xiao could only helplessly pat the kitten's head to comfort it.

Lately, the little one can only speak when she's alone with Ye Xiao at night, but she's been busy with other things and can't be with him for the past few nights, so she's been very resentful.

"who are you!?"

Do you know where this is?!

The group of red-named players from the Grizzly Bear Guild looked at the uninvited guests at the door with surprise and doubt, and uttered some lowly remarks.

Ye Xiao, naturally, didn't bother with any more words. He kicked off the ground and charged into the crowd, drawing his long sword from his waist.

Suddenly, a cold glint appeared, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.

Although these red-named players were all seasoned PvP experts, they couldn't withstand more than a few moves from Ye Xiao.

But Ye Xiao deliberately fought back and forth with this group of people, darting around and fighting for a long time before finally showing a narrow victory.

After dealing with the guards, Ye Xiao lowered Yu Tong down from the beam.

He deliberately split up with Ella this time, partly for the sake of Yu Tong.

Since Yu Tong hid the "Sprout of Life," it means he probably knows something about it.

The Grizzly Guild is going, but there's no reason to let this lead slip by.

But Yu Tong's mouth is surprisingly tight when he's not bragging or drinking, as evidenced by the fact that the Grizzly Bear Guild members couldn't find the hidden door in the mansion even after interrogating him for so long.

Therefore, Ye Xiao planned to use a little trick here to gain the other party's trust, so as to make it easier to get information out of them later. By the way, he also wanted to see if he could take the opportunity to win over a player guild.

"You...you are...?" Yu Tong gasped for breath, but his gaze toward Ye Xiao remained wary.

"I am Ye Xiao from the Seven Stars Guild. I was asked to come and rescue you." Ye Xiao made up a reason on the spot. "But I'm sorry, I arrived at your guild's residence too late and was unable to rescue your sister in time."

"Sister...yes, Yu Xue! What are you still doing here? Go and save Yu Xue!" Yu Tong pleaded immediately, his eyes wide.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Yu, it’s probably too late,” Ye Xiao sighed. “They have already gone to the Grizzly Bear Guild’s mansion. You should know that it’s not a place that ordinary players like us can easily break into.”

Yu Tong was speechless. He had just seen Ye Xiao fight back and forth with those red-named players from the Grizzly Bear Guild, barely managing to win. Ye Xiao might be a bit stronger than the average player, but with that kind of strength, it was indeed unlikely that he could break into the Grizzly Bear Guild's headquarters.

“Well… Mr. Yu, please come with me and leave this place first, in case the Grizzly Clan’s reinforcements arrive soon.” Ye Xiao wasn’t lying; he had just fought with that group for a long time, and they would definitely use the community system to call for backup. “Let’s talk somewhere else.”

Yu Tong swallowed hard. At this moment, he seemed to have no other choice but to trust Ye Xiao. He put his arm around Ye Xiao's shoulder and staggered away from the dark old house.

Chapter 112 The Apostles

The other end.

While still riding towards the West District, Wei Ming received a message from his companions at the branch base, which surprised him.

"What happened? We were attacked as soon as we left the base??"

"Is that so?" Wen Dao feigned surprise. "Shall we head back now?"

“We’re definitely too late, others will come to our aid… But I have a question, Wen Dao.”
