Chapter 179 Moth Tattoo
Chapter 179 Moth Tattoo
The two returned to their territory.
Lou Yanchuan and the others had already subdued the remaining Angel Guild members... They hadn't expected Yan Xun and Sun Yue to be in such a sorry state.
According to the initial plan, Sun Yue should have controlled White's actions first, and then Yan Xun should have found a way to take the book away.
"Something went wrong?" Li Wu asked.
"It wasn't exactly an unexpected accident; White couldn't be controlled when he was conscious," Yan Xun said, glancing at Li Wu and the others. "So surprised?"
Their initial plan was for Sun Yue to control White, who was waiting in the room, but when Yan Xun saw White immediately preparing to open the book and take action, he knew that the control was unlikely to be effective.
This was within his expectations; White was a staunch believer in that stuff and should be difficult to control directly.
So he immediately used his skills.
“If you’re saying White might not be able to be controlled… it’s impossible to just send the two of you over there,” Li Wu said.
“Too many people will arouse suspicion,” Yan Xun said.
This was only part of the reason. He arranged for Sun Yue to be in the next room, partly to prevent her from directly confronting the god behind White and losing control of her mind.
On the other hand... he himself knew that the "Gui Yuchong" and Yan Yu in his skill were not quite normal, so it was best not to expose them.
The live stream was temporarily cut off by the system the moment Yan Xun entered the Angel Guild.
You might be able to see it on White's live stream, but even if you do, you'll probably just think it's one of Yan Xun's tentacle skills and won't think too much about it.
When Yan Yu appeared, White's physical body was already dead, and the live stream was most likely interrupted.
Li Wu opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing that both Yan Xun and Sun Yue were injured, he could only remain silent for a long time before saying, "Be more careful next time."
He looked at the two of them as he spoke, like a worried old father, "Don't make us worry."
"If the plan succeeds but a teammate gets injured, I don't think anyone will celebrate."
As expected of the vice president of a major guild, he speaks with such skill, Yan Xun thought. He noticed that Sun Yue next to him was also humbly accepting the instruction. Only Lou Yanchuan remained silent. When he saw Yan Xun looking at him, he forced a smile and gave a fake reassuring one.
"It's good that you're alright."
Then Li Wu told Yan Xun about their situation. In short, Su Yumin had taken on most of the fighting, and they were mainly doing the cleanup work.
The Angel Guild members tried to harm themselves by praying to that Father God, but inexplicably, the other party did not respond.
So they handled it relatively easily.
Yan Xun then shared their observations of the box.
Just as they had guessed, the person who opened the box would become the next human-cat.
“However, that book has disappeared without a trace,” Yan Xun said.
"We searched everywhere, but we couldn't find the book."
He suspected that when the feathers dissipated, the book's power was also drained by that mysterious entity? Or perhaps it was simply taken away by the entity.
Li Wu nodded upon hearing this, seemingly unsurprised. "These kinds of items that are related to those things usually disappear after their owner dies," he said. "They're a bit different from the rewards you get from the system."
After exchanging this information, Yan Xun looked at the bound Angel Guild members.
Sun Yue directly controlled a member of the Angel Guild and ordered him to open the box.
A similar warning appeared in the room again... Sun Zhao and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief. When they were discussing the plan, Li Wu and the others had already hinted that if they did not take action, one of them would transform into a human-cat and enter the box.
Now that the human and cat have been chosen, they are safe.
"Where are they?" Sun Zhao went to check on the remaining three Angel Guild players.
Su Yumin made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Keep it for now," Lou Yanchuan said.
"To prevent new content from being added to Article 5."
He looked at the others and said, "Today we can stay in our rooms and no longer need to go out in the early morning to check the precautions."
Yan Xun and the others nodded.
“I’m going to take a shower,” he said.
He took out the remaining paper dolls from his pocket, intending to return them to the others... Sun Zhao and the others exchanged glances and shook their heads, "Here you go."
"Anyway, we didn't do anything."
Li Wu looked at the two paper dolls that Yan Xun had left in his hand... Although the other party did not say anything, he understood in his heart how dangerous Yan Xun had been when facing White just now.
He planned to discuss with Lou Yanchuan whether the dungeon rewards should be redistributed.
For example, could one of the cats' wish-granting rights be given to Yan Xun?
Sun Yue was also covered in blood, so Yan Xun simply left the room where everyone was gathered with her... When they reached the corridor, Yan Xun stopped and looked at Sun Yue, "Can we talk?"
Sun Yue didn't understand, but she nodded nonetheless.
Yan Xun found an empty room and pushed the door open to enter.
Night had fallen outside. Looking at the huge human-cat advertisement projection, Yan Xun pondered and said, "When you used your manipulation ability, I noticed a crystal bottle appearing on the back of your hand."
"Is that your ability or..."
Perhaps feeling that this question might offend Sun Yue, he raised his hand again, "If this is your secret, you don't have to tell me."
Sun Yue looked at Yan Xun with a puzzled expression. "I thought you knew."
"Don't you have it on you too?"
She pointed to the moth tattoo on Yan Xun's arm, "This is a sign of a bond with a mysterious being..." She suddenly seemed confused as she said this, "I also sensed some aura just now."
She pointed to the back of her hand, where a crystal bottle pattern quickly appeared. "This is the mark of my pact with the witch."
"However, to avoid attracting attention, I always hide..." She paused for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, and her expression suggested that she felt she had said something wrong.
"What's wrong?" Yan Xun asked, looking at the moth tattoo on his arm. "Did you remember something?"
Sun Yue looked at Yan Xun and suddenly remembered that the other party had never mentioned that he had a protective bond with her. She originally thought that the other party did not want to talk about it, so he had not mentioned it to anyone, including Ruan Yun.
Judging from Yan Xun's current state, it seems he has completely forgotten about this matter.
"The witch told me that under normal circumstances, these marks can be hidden."
"There's only one situation where it's not allowed..."
It was because she had thought of that situation that Sun Yue hesitated.
Yan Xun gestured for Sun Yue to continue.
“That situation is that the mysterious entity that players form bonds with has fallen.” She looked at the moth tattoo on Yan Xun’s arm. “Only in this situation… would this mark become impossible to hide, and players would be unable to call upon their bonded partners.”
