Chapter 52: Ye Kui, a “connected person”

Luo Qiongyin lowered her white silk legs from the table, hid them inside her little white boots, and walked out with a cold face.

In her hand, golden light gathered, forming a golden longsword, its blade constantly scattering particles of holy light.

Along the way, countless Law Enforcement Bureau staff saw Luo Qiongyin and cast respectful and adoring gazes, calling out, “Saintess-sama!”

Luo Qiongyin remained expressionless and nodded.

At this moment, her usual “bad habits” were gone, making her seem like a perfect and pure battle saintess.

The Goldlight Sword in her hand purged evil!

Behind Luo Qiongyin, at some unknown point, over a hundred law enforcers had followed, all evolutionary ability users!

And the number was still increasing!

The Saintess is on our side!

Victory is certain in this battle!!

[Silent Alliance (Qingluo City Branch)]

[Group Member A: So boring. Is Salted Fish slacking off?]

[Group Member B: So boring. Is Salted Fish still alive? If you’re alive, make a sound.]

[Group Member C: So boring. Salted Fish, hurry up and show up, bring us some fun.]

[From Newbie to Big Boss: Seniors, I’m the new member who joined yesterday. Right now, I’m in the middle of a kidnapping case. If I succeed, then… Damn, when did the cops get next to me?!]

Then, the other side went silent.

It was quick.

A small splash, but soon calmed down.

This wasn’t the first.

In recent days, some silent old group members no longer wanted to stagnate, or new newbies wanted to make a name for themselves…

Anyway, things like this had happened more than a few times.

But unfortunately, the endings were all rather tragic.

[Group Member A: Another one in, new record set.]

[Group Member B: In times like this, if you don’t stay low and want to cause trouble… can only call you an idiot.]

[Group Member C: Salted Fish is still better. Either nothing happens, or it’s a huge explosion.]

[Salted Fish Alchemist: (live stream link)]

[Salted Fish Alchemist: Everyone, live broadcast of bombing the Law Enforcement Bureau, let’s go!]

Salted Fish Alchemist, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, suddenly made an appearance.

The content was like a bombshell, and the group exploded!

[Group Member A: Salted Fish resurrected?!]

[Group Member B: Salted Fish plays this wild?]

[Group Member C: Is it real…damn, it really is!]

[X (Group Owner): …Exciting.]

For a time, group members who were lurking everywhere bubbled up, flooding the screen.

They thought Salted Fish Alchemist had gotten into trouble and that’s why they hadn’t been chatting, but unexpectedly, it was to prepare for something big!

They noticed the creation organization’s emblem in the video, and quickly understood his intention.

Whether it was the Law Enforcement Bureau or the creation organization, the weakening of either side’s strength benefited them.

This Salted Fish Alchemist played dirty!

—

Near the Law Enforcement Bureau, in a concealed alley.

Ye Kui’s expression was calm, a trace of electronic light flashing in his eyes as his mind was immersed in the chat group.

Surrounding him were about a hundred people, all wearing unified uniforms with the Snake Emblem pinned to their chests—evolutionaries from the creation organization.

The leader, the team captain for this operation, was giving a speech.

He looked at the “absent-minded” Ye Kui, a trace of disdain in his eyes.

He didn’t understand why higher-ups insisted on shoving this burden into their operation team.

That’s right.

In his eyes, Ye Kui was a burden.

Alchemists had always been weak in combat.

What’s more, Ye Kui was tested at the lowest rank—F.

If that’s not a burden, what is?

This captain had once reported and protested to the higher-ups, saying it increased the risk of mission failure… but all he got was a cold reply.

Ye Kui must be included.

His safety must be ensured!

At that time, he seemed to understand a bit—Ye Kui was here to gild his resume.

He hated this kind of nepotism most!

But orders from above couldn’t be disobeyed, so he could only hope Ye Kui would have the sense to stay away and not get caught up.

As a B-class powerhouse, able to undergo Dragonification, covering his body in scales as hard as steel and turning his hands into Dragon Claws that could easily slice through half a meter of steel, his combat strength was at the B-class pinnacle!

Even some A-class ability users who weren’t good at fighting might not be able to beat him!

Turning his head to look at the distant Law Enforcement Bureau, the captain’s eyes gleamed coldly.

He had investigated—recently, the Law Enforcement Bureau had been searching for their clues, sending out all their high-level forces.

There was no one strong left inside!

So, today’s blitz attack on the Law Enforcement Bureau had a ninety percent chance of success!

Director Gao even called him to the office privately, saying he valued him, promising a promotion after this mission, and reassuring him that the organization’s two diviners had said luck was excellent!

So, in the captain’s mind, not calling it a hundred percent was just him being humble.

Inside the Law Enforcement Bureau, only that Saintess was left, and her strength was just E-class… even if the intel was slightly off, at most she’d be D-class.

Compared to him, an A-class, wasn’t this a guaranteed win?

He admitted that the Saintess was a genius stronger than himself.

But geniuses needed time to grow.

And he wasn’t lacking in talent or luck either!

The captain took a deep breath, fighting spirit flashing in his eyes. He waved his hand.

“Brothers, move!”

Immediately, hundreds of ability users surged toward the Law Enforcement Bureau, swift as shadows, trailing afterimages as they darted out of the alley.

But Ye Kui didn’t move.

Seeing this, the captain’s eyes flashed with rare satisfaction. At least this guy knew his limits and didn’t rush in.

He most hated those reckless fools who didn’t know their own strength.

“Professor Ye, stay hidden and wait for us to return.”

With that, he charged out as well, a low dragon roar echoing from his mouth as Dragonification began to cover his body.

Each step seemed to crush the ground.

Ye Kui watched the captain’s back and raised an eyebrow.

“Dragonification, huh… Tsk tsk, not pure. Not even a dragon horn… too mixed. Looks like there’s no alchemy material worth collecting.”

Ye Kui began retreating, melting into the shadows of the corner, hiding his presence.

Slacking off was his specialty.

This operation was doomed to fail!

Because he was a traitor.

The captain’s spirit looked great just now, full of confidence, probably never tasted defeat, always smooth sailing—might even think of himself as a mini-protagonist.

But the only protagonist Ye Kui acknowledged was Luo Qiongyin.

—

A fierce battle erupted at the Law Enforcement Bureau!

The creation organization’s evolutionaries were ferocious, their eyes burning with madness, every attack wild and reckless, willing to trade injury for injury.

It seemed they had caught the Law Enforcement Bureau off guard!

At first, they had the upper hand!

But this didn’t last long.

Law Enforcement Bureau members kept pouring out in waves, quickly turning the tide!

Countless!

Simply countless!

A black sea of people!

The creation organization’s ability users found their eyes growing clearer.

They realized something was wrong—nearly five or six law enforcers were ganging up on each of them!

The captain also noticed the chaotic situation, his expression becoming subtle.

A trap?!

At this rate, they’d all be “devoured” by the Law Enforcement Bureau.

Who leaked information?!

No time to think, a golden longsword fell from above, sending a wave of terror through the captain as he leapt back more than ten meters.

The golden sword smashed into the ground, leaving a pit over ten meters wide.

A pale, flawless hand emitting faint golden light—holy and immaculate—gripped the sword and pulled it from the pit.

A young girl in a golden battle dress, a halo above her head, and a pair of snowy white wings behind her.

She gently flapped her wings, scattering snowy white feathers, holy light swirling softly around her.

Golden eyes cold and aloof, looking down on all.

Saintess, Luo Qiongyin!

Has entered the battle!

Seeing Luo Qiongyin appear, the captain’s gaze flickered, and he let out a deep dragon roar, B-class evolutionary aura surging!

Scales spread further over his body as he charged toward Luo Qiongyin like a cannonball, claws aimed to tear the Saintess apart!

The situation was dire for them!

Their only chance was to take down the Saintess!

Crush the Law Enforcement Bureau’s morale!

“Saintess Luo Qiongyin, I’ve heard you’re strong, unmatched in battle. Can you really defeat me?”

“If you have guts, don’t run. Whoever runs is a coward!”

The captain roared!

He stared fixedly at Luo Qiongyin, watching her every move.

He had no wings. If Luo Qiongyin flew into the sky, that would be trouble.

But Luo Qiongyin didn’t.

She had no intention of dodging at all.

This made a trace of delight flash in his eyes.

Foolish Saintess, you’ll pay for your arrogance!

“Luo Qiongyin, die!”

Snowy wings fluttered, and Luo Qiongyin seemed to teleport in front of him, golden flames burning in her pupils, incinerating everything!

A delicate wrist moved, and the longsword flicked upward!

“What are you mumbling about?”

“Get lost and don’t block the way!”
